Let me tell you a story. A team of mountain climbers was scaling Mount Everest, and they camped below the summit. Another team was returning from the top and saw them camped there.
"Why are you camped?" they wanted to know.
"We are waiting for our map," they replied. "We forgot our map at base camp and have sent a Sherpa back to retrieve it. So we are waiting."
"But from here you do not need a map!" the returning team replied. "There are no avalanches, no problems. From here, go straight to the top! No map is necessary."
So drop all your maps and baggage. Go directly to the summit from here.
~ From Wake Up and Roar
When I read this story I thought about the reasons why we postpone our dream by staring at it.
What do you need to reach the top?
It isn't gathering more maps, baggage, or advice.
It isn't that ONE DAY the circumstances are perfect.
It isn't waiting for a permit to access the holy ground of your dream [3]. Your summit is just a few steps away, and I don't think you know it.
The three biggest myths that will keep you camped out below your summit are:
Myth #1: There's no urgency.
You are responsible to share your talents and unique message with the world. If you don't do it, they will be lost and the world will not have them. It is urgent to step into your Soul's shoes and strap on your hiking boots. You cannot wait till the circumstances are better. When it is the due date, your baby will die inside if you don't push through the last stage. Whether it's a baby, a book, or a business, the principles are the same.
Myth #2: You've got to bring a lot of baggage, just in case.
The baggage of the past is way too heavy and will keep you stuck at base camp. You must empty your rucksack. The only tools you need are faith, trust, and surrender to rely on your innate wisdom.
Myth #3: You need a map from someone else to reach the top.
Living your dreams [4] means listening within for guidance and ruthlessly aiming for the top. Following the roadmap of others means settling for less. It deviates you from your own path. You don't need a Sherpa to find you the map. Your inner GPS is the best guide you can wish for.
Even though it might seem scary to say yes to the destiny of your Soul, ultimately reaching the summit is the safest and most inspiring place to arrive.
Determine if you are still hiding out at base camp or if you're ready to forge ahead. You can do it.
Your dream is calling you. It's urgent. You don't need a map. You can travel light. And no extra baggage is needed.
Let's go!
I'll see you at the top.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
off grid living, California, wildfire, straw bale, passive solar, solar panels, cohousing
Architects Ken Haggard and Polly Cooper have been designing passive solar buildings on California's central coast since the 1970s. In 1994, when a wildfire that plowed through Los Padres National Forest destroyed the couple's home and office complex just north of San Luis Obispo, they seized the opportunity to start all over again—and go active. "Once we got over freaking out about losing all our photographs, we saw that we'd been given the opportunity we had always talked about, to build a straw bale house and go off the grid," Ken says.
The fire had killed most of the mature trees on Ken and Polly's property, leaving abundant building materials that wouldn't require transport or industrial processing. Immediately following the fire, the couple built a 440-square-foot straw bale cottage powered by two solar panels borrowed from a local solar company, which they lived in while building their 2,000-square-foot straw bale home and 1,200-square-foot office out of 22,000 board feet of standing dead Sargent cypress, Douglas fir, Coulter pine and while alder milled on site. "It was an opportunity to do more with more," Ken says. "Those trees that burned would just be sitting there rotting" if the couple hadn't used them to build.
Designed to make use of the natural energies of the sun and breezes, Ken and Polly's home and office are masterful examples of the daylighting and passive solar techniques that they helped pioneer. Eight-inch-thick concrete block walls provide thermal mass that collects sunlight through expansive south-facing low-e windows and double-glazed skylights insulated with Skylids, an automatic louver system that opens when the sun comes up, closes when it goes down and can be manually turned off to provide shade in summer. "When people hear we're off the grid, they look at us like, 'Oh, you poor things,'" Polly says. "But we're sitting here with light streaming in; we're not terribly deprived."
Since they completed their home and office in 1997, Ken and Polly have begun building a cohousing community of sorts, welcoming two more families onto the property. Fifteen Seimens PC4JF panels supply ample power for six structures, including the office and a shop, during summer months, as long as everyone is conscious of their use and the Xerox machine isn't left on overnight. Two Harris Pelton hydro wheels—6-inch diameter adaptations of the water wheels used in gold-mining towns during the late 1800s—pull power from the creek when the sun is weaker during winter months. The system relies on a bank of 12 Trojan L-16 batteries and a 120-volt Trace inverter. A digital monitor keeps track of battery voltage, charging rate and use, enabling everyone to take preventative measures when stores get low.
"We've never found living off the grid difficult or inconvenient," Ken says. "There's a learning curve at first, but you have direct feedback—when you've got no juice, you've got no juice." A chart in the office keeps everyone apprised of how much power is coming from the sun and how much from the creek, as well as current voltage use. "It's another level of consciousness," Ken adds. "We're learning how the creek works, how the weather works. It's a consciousness extender."
After all these years, Ken and Polly have learned that they must clean the leaves and debris that have built up in the creek over the summer before the first big storm in late October or early November flushes everything into the wheels. "We hit that maybe every third time," says Ken, who doesn't relish crawling up the creek when it's raining and cold to handle the task. "It's not as much fun now that I'm in my 70s."
The gratification, he adds, comes from connecting so strongly with the seasons. "This is very nice in California, where the seasons aren't accentuated."
System outages are extremely rare on Ken and Polly's complex, and they love to celebrate grid outages by hauling out their 1950s waffle iron and feeding everyone breakfast. There have been occasions when power has gotten low and the architects have had to finish projects with candles burning on top of their computers—but those are rare. And besides, Ken says, "an occasional candlelight meal is nice."
Efficient lighting and energy-saving appliances including a Sun Frost refrigerator, a Staber 2000 horizontal-access clothes washer, a Jenn-Air dishwasher that allows them to turn off the heat during the drying cycle, combined with vigilant energy-miser habits such as turning off lights and eliminating phantom loads, keep the entire complex's power needs low. They charge laptops and power tools during fat times and work off their batteries when times are lean. The thick straw bale walls provide plenty of thermal protection, and the passive solar design eliminates the need for mechanical heating. "We use electricity for the things it's best for—not the things it's handy for," Ken says. "Using electricity for hating is the cardinal sin. It's so inefficient."
In summer months, when the system generates more power than it needs, a device burns off the waste as heat. "It kills me when that thing goes off," Ken says.
Once a month, Ken equalizes the system's batteries by overcharging them on a sunny day and turning the water wheels full throttle. He says this has made his batteries, which had a seven-year life expectancy, last for 14 years.
Now solidly off the water and electric grid—and loving it—Ken and Polly hope to get off the oil grid by buying an electric Nissan Leaf. The car's battery could serve as a back-up in emergencies, adding flexibility to the system. "The key thing is to have a supplementary, back-up power source," Ken says. While he's pleased to see that more communities are allowing net metering—in which the utility company buys back excess solar power from homeowners and makes power available when they need it, acting as a sort of battery—Ken says he just likes the bragging rights that come with being completely off the grid. "I feel a little more pure, just a little bit righteous," he says.

Left uncovered because Ken and Polly like the look, this wall of 8-inch-thick concrete blocks collects and releases solar heat for the passive solar home.
The kitchen's breakfast bar is made from Sargent cyrpess and sycamore from the property.
Skylights provide plenty of natural light, eliminating the need for electric lighting.
A system monitor (with handy homemade chart) gives everyone a quick snapshot of how much power is being used and where it's coming from.

Packet Processing Enables More Workload Consolidation: Solution Brief
With Intel® processors, it's possible to transition from using discrete architectures per major workload (application, control plane, packet and signal processing) to a single architecture that consolidates the workloads into a more scalable and simplified solution. This software-based approach, depicted in Figure 1, yields further benefits with Intel's 4:1 workload consolidation strategy. The hardware platform – based on general-purpose server technology – has been optimized using the best practices of the communications industry to ensure system robustness with core, memory and I/O scalability and performance improvements, to meet network operator's low to high-end system requirements.
This framework is made possible by the high performance level of Intel processors plus the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK), which greatly boosts packet processing performance and throughput, allowing more time for data plane applications. As a result, telecom and network equipment manufacturers (TEMs/NEMs) can take advantage of lower development costs, fewer tools and support teams, and faster time-to-market with a solution benefiting from the economies of scale of the server industry. Such a notable level of consolidation is achievable through industry-leading performance, I/O throughput and performance per watt density – all on a standards-based platform. Solution providers listed in this paper are ready to help equipment architects jumpstart their next designs.
This approach also reinforces the synergies resulting from the convergence of telecom and data networks by blending the best of communications and computing competencies. What do both industries bring to the party in terms of technology and capability?
The communications industry excels in hardware density, high speed pipes, low latency transmission, robustness, exceptional quality of service (QoS), determinism and real-time I/O switching. On the computing side, there are standards-based technologies that enable dynamic resource sharing, workload migration, security, open APIs, developer communities, virtualization, and power management.

Johnson City, Tenn.-- The East Tennessee State women's soccer team returned to conference action against Chattanooga by dropping a hard-fought 1-0 decision at the Liberty Bell Soccer Complex.
After battling to a scoreless first-half, Chattanooga's Pam Malinowski capped the game winner off an assist from teammate Tiffany Gee with 48:40 elapsed. The shot rolled past Buccaneer goaltender Heather Sanden when Malinowski fired it towards the far post.
The Bucs had their best chance late in the second half as Jana Thomas redirected a pass off of a corner kick past Chattanoga goaltender Rawlslyn Ray but the ball was cleared by a Chattanooga defender.
With the win, the Mocs improve to 4-5 overall, 1-2 in the Southern Conference. The Bucs fall to 6-6 overall, 0-4 in the Southern Conference.
The Bucs will continue their Southern Conference homestand Tuesday as they host Western Carolina at 4 p.m. at the Liberty Bell Soccer Complex.

Bintliff Claims 20th Victory, But Wrestling Falls To Boston University
Bintliff, who also won his final Ivy match yesterday at Penn, will head into the 2013 EIWA Championships (March 8-9 at Rutgers) having won five of his last six matches. The most accomplished postseason wrestler on the current Princeton roster, Bintliff can become the 27th wrestler in Princeton history to place at three different EIWA Championships.
Bintliff scored the first takedown of his match against Nick Tourville, and he ultimately built the lead to 4-0. Tourville would cut that deficit in half, but Bintliff was not about to give this match away. He finished the match with a 5-2 decision, and it ultimately put Princeton ahead 13-12 with three matches to go.
"Zach has been consistently improving his whole career. He has a blue-collar, workmanlike effort," head coach Chris Ayres said. "I think he has put himself in position to do something special in the postseason."
Unfortunately for Princeton, that lead would not be enough. Nestor Taffur, the Terriers' winningest wrestler on the season, scored a major at 157, and Mitchell Wrightman followed with a major at 165 to clinch the team win. Princeton junior Ryan Callahan was awarded a forfeit at 174 to close the team match.
Bonus points did Princeton in during a match where both teams won five individual showdowns. Tiger freshmen earned Princeton's first three wins, including the 21st victory for Scott Gibbons in the opening match at 184. He defeated Andrew Maksimovic 8-2 for the first home win of his young career.
Boston University took the next two matches, and seemed on the verge of a third before an exciting final period for freshman Max Rogers at 125. Trailing by two late against Chris McGinley, Rogers scored a late takedown, then spun McGinley to his back near the edge of the mat on the Princeton side for the two winning points in a 7-5 decision.
"I'm so happy with the way Max wrestled," Ayres said. "He has had it so difficult this year. It feels like he wrestles a top-ranked guy every weekend, and the way he got the win today was exciting. He has worked hard, and he deserved this win."
After a Tiger loss at 133, Princeton got consecutive wins to reclaim the lead. Freshman Kevin Moylan earned his 13th win of the season with a 9-1 major decision at 141, and Bintliff followed with his 20th win at 149.
The match also served as Senior Day for the Class of 2013.
Check back with GoPrincetonTigers.com prior to the EIWA Championships for a full preview of the weekend.
Boston University 20, Princeton 19

As someone who's spent the last 14 years studying the exercise habits of midlife women, Michelle Segar,PhD, MPH, knows a thing or two about what makes us tick when it comes to working out. Here, the 42-year-old psychology researcher at the University of Michigan's Institute for Research on Women and Gender shares what really works for us.
Q. Where do women over 40 go wrong when it comes to fitness?
A. They exercise for the two least motivating reasons: to lose weight and to protect their health. In our study of 156 women, 61 percent reported one or both of these as their top motivators, and they did the least amount of exercise.
Q. But if you exercised to lose weight, wouldn't dropping pounds motivate you to keep going?
A. It might, but midlife women don't always lose weight by exercising. So if you work out to lose weight and it doesn't help, you'll get frustrated and give up. I also wonder how beneficial it can be to exercise in such a negative way, where you're constantly thinking, I'm not good enough, and I don't like my body. Who wants to keep that up?
Q. Regular physical activity has proven health benefits for women. So why doesn't that motivate us more?
A. This is one of my most fascinating findings: Midlife women who work fulltime and are currently healthy won't stick with an exercise program just to protect their health. It has to do with priorities. If you don't have a lot of leisure time and you're feeling fine, you may not be able to squeeze exercise into your busy schedule.
Q. So what's the best motivation for midlife women?
A. To improve your state of well-being — for example, improving mood and reducing stress. Only 26 percent of the women in my study said they exercised for mental health benefits, but those women exercised 30 percent more often than those who stated their top reason as physical health benefits or weight loss. Exercise can have a pretty immediate impact on your mood and stress level, and over time it also improves your memory and makes you physically healthier. So you get the instant payoff of your workout improving your day and the long-term benefits that make you want to keep doing it.
Q. But how do you train your brain to respond to a new incentive?
A. First you have to decide you want it. Then sit down and analyze your previous attempts at exercising. What were your motivations? Were they able to sustain your workouts? If not, ask yourself what you really want to get out of physical activity. What kind of exercise would help you achieve that and also be palatable?
Q. How long does brain retraining take?
A. When I coach women, I ask them to commit to four sessions over three weeks, because that gives you time to experiment and reflect on what works and what doesn't. [For more info, go to essentialsteps.net.] A lot of women need to say, You know what, I'm never going to like exercise while I'm doing it, but it will feel good to know I'm taking care of myself. That's how they connect exercise to their sense of well-being, even when it's not "fun."
Q. Let's be honest. Most of us secretly hope we'll get into our skinny jeans again. How can exercise help?
A. If you're just starting out, my advice is to put the weight-loss goal on hold and focus on learning how to fit exercise into your life for at least six to nine months. Then start thinking about your diet. I've had a few clients do this, and their weight loss turned out to be quite effortless. Remember that to protect your heart and maintain your weight, your ultimate goal is to form a lifelong relationship with exercise.

Plays fine, but difficult to navigate.
I didn't want to spend alot of money for a DVD player, and I didn't. It plays fine, but the trying to back up or do much of anything other than 'pause', is difficult to manage; the control is not 'user friendly'. It causes me alot of frustration, so when I use it, I determine to not have to do anything except pause.Read More

Poor DVD Playback
I purchased the DVD player for a friend, who doesn't have a computer. From day 1, he was complaining that the player wouldn't play certain DVDs, and it would freeze toward the end of others. I traded him another DVD player, and he hasn't had a problem since. However, now, I'm having problems with this DVD player. It stated out not playing certain DVDs (as it had with my friend.) Now, in addition to freezing and inability to play certain DVDs, it won't show any color.Read More

Control Of Ivy Race Up For Grabs Between Unbeaten Princeton, Yale Squads
The top-ranked Princeton men's squash team will face its first major road test of the season Saturday when it begins a full Ivy League weekend at No. 4 Yale Saturday at noon.
Princeton is 7-0 on the season, 3-0 in the Ivy League, but the Tigers have played six of their first seven matches at home. The Tigers will head to the Brady Squash Center for their first road match of the Ivy season, as well as the site of their last loss in league play, a 5-4 heartbreaker in 2011. Both Princeton and Yale are undefeated in Ivy play right now, and those two schools have combined to win each of the last six Ivy League titles (they also shared the 2006 title in a three-way split with Harvard).
Thus, the winner of the Princeton-Yale regular season match has won the Ivy League title seven straight years, and the home team has won this match three of the last four years. Last season, Princeton ended a two-year skid with an 8-1 home victory over the Bulldogs.
Yale's only loss of the season has been a 7-2 road loss at No. 2 Trinity on Jan. 23. That was the Bulldogs' only match with a Top-5 opponent this season; the Princeton men have won two home matches over Top 5 teams, including a 5-4 win over No. 3 Harvard on Jan. 13.
Princeton will follow its Saturday match with a Sunday contest at No. 18 Brown (2:30 pm).

The slogan is simple: Good Karma. Good Coffee.
It's a paradoxical world, and this season of feasting is always also a season of hunger. Obesity gets more ink than hunger, but the fact is that Utah ranks fourth in the nation for the highest rate of very low food security.
About 400,000 Utahns risk missing one meal every day. One in seven Utah children are at risk of hunger.
How would you like to be able to feed one of those kids breakfast for a week?
Utah Food Bank has come up with the easiest possible way for you do to that: Just buy a pound of their special edition Joffee's Coffee.
It's carefully sourced, roasted and supplied to many of the country's finest restaurants, and they've created four special blends for Utah Food Bank, available at Smith's: Hunger's End Blend, a dark roast; Italian roast Do-Gooder's Decaf; Grounds for Hope, a medium roast; Cafe Kindness, a light roast.
It's no more expensive than any other fine coffee.
And honestly, on the selfish side, how much better will a sip of this make your morning?

Equal parts dark and orchestral as it is warm and melodic, they have coined the term "cinematic pop" to define their sound. Considered to be the aural counterpart to 8mm film, cinematic pop is organic, honest, and dramatic. Their self-titled debut album is a soundtrack to real-life heartache, but could just as easily accompany the latest Zach Braff-inspired romantic comedy. Influences include Patsy Cline, Clem Snide, Arcade Fire, and David Bowie—the latter having been immortalized in the band's unforgettable homage, "David Bowie (Save Us All)." *Local support for Deer Tick*

What configuration are you trying to do? What is the outcome? And what is the expected outcome?
i don't like to repeat myself... but if it is really necessary:
as described above and in the issue title, the JQuery resource plugin doesn't parse application.ini / config-options for uienable/ui_enable correct because it's not read from the $options variable, but from the $key variable, which only exists in the foreach-loop-block.
application.ini: resources.jquery.uienable = 0
jquery ui should be disabled.

Aber naturlich kan ich das ;)
Pushing usually doesn't work. ZF is mainly maintained by volunteers, and as such, they sometimes do have time, and sometimes they don't.
I know. But I published that issue more than 2 weeks ago and it was a very simple bug. And there was no reaction until AND I also submitted the patch for this bug, directly with the issue.
the point is; there are a lot of small bugs known in the issue tracker. In any way; the issue has been resolved in trunk, and was merged with the 1.10 release branch. Meaning that it will be released in the next mini release.

Full SubmissionFor a just and fair one-planet politics! In the summer of 2011, Finnish Association for Nature Conservation ran a project targeting the nine major groups of the UN sustainable development governance to collect views on what must be achieved in the Rio+20 summit. We gathered views from the representatives of all the nine major groups as well in a seminar as in an online survey. The proposals were presented to the Finnish parliament in a parliamentary hearing in September 2011, and they have been used as a basis for these answers. a. What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? The starting point for the Rio+20 has to be a just one-planet politics. To get started with sustainable development and Rio+20, it's high time that we focus on the essentials: food and water, energy, and democracy. Thus, we need the following: - Food and clean water for all. The poorest fifth of the world needs all our support in securing the basic necessities of life for themselves. - The basic needs of the people must be guaranteed. The consumption of the natural resources will not be sustainable, until at least a basic safety net for the people in the global south can be provided. A social Security system that fulfills at least the basic needs would probably curb population growth and the use of natural resources. - The on-going mass extinction must be stopped by 2020 and a carbon neutral society created by 2050. Apparently, the first steps taken in Johannesburg in 2002 are not enough. This work needs to continue in Rio in 2012. - Energy consumption must fall heavily in the industrialized countries. Reducing emissions is not enough, because energy consumption produces also indirect emissions. To lower the environmental impacts, the energy consumption of the richest fifth of the world must be made reasonable at once. - From the power of capital to the power of people. Transition from the power of capital to the power of people is a prerequisite for a sustainable future. The poorest must be given the power to decide on the use of the world's resources, too. Instead of prioritizing the growth of the capital we must prioritize the well-being of the weakest. More concretely: - The developed countries must acknowledge their ecological debt and stop adding to it. The citizens in these countries must be directed to adopting a less consuming lifestyle. - A convention on the use of natural resources and a strong international panel on natural resources is needed. Annual quotas for resource use and emissions and a global environmental tax on energy should be implemented. - It is necessary to establish the United Nations Environment Organization (UNEO), an International environmental court, and a Council for future generations, and to promote the UN Commission on Sustainable Development to a Council, like the Human Rights Council. Taking the environmental crisis and the well-being of future generations seriously requires a new kind of a strong and democratic international governance. b. What are the comments, if any, on existing proposals: e.g., a green economy roadmap, framework for action, sustainable development goals, a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, or others? The society must free itself from the obsession of economic growth, because an indefinitely growing GDP is incompatible with environmental sustainability. Green and service-intensive economy can be sustainable only when its material basis and natural resource consumption are shrinking globally. We need: - Global progressive environmental tax. We need progressive environmental taxes in order to promote social Security, equality and environmental protection. These taxes function as effective economic incentives and generate revenue for the state. Income tax works well for that purpose, but energy taxes and luxury taxes on consumption need to be developed further. - Global basic income for women. A basic income of two dollars a day for every woman and girl would be one of the most efficient ways to increase well-being and curb population growth. - Abolition of harmful subsidies and arms race. Cutting fossil fuel subsidies, indirect subsidies to nuclear power, and excessive armament would release hundreds of billions of euros for investments in a sustainable future. c. What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.); - Restricting the influence of multinational corporations. Twenty years after Rio, the climate emissions are still growing, the extinction of species is accelerating, and global economic inequality is higher than ever. The single most important reason to this is the strong opposition of the multinational corporations to the implementation of the Rio agenda. In the future, the lobbying by corporations and their interest groups has to be transparent. The connection of corporations to the decision-making process has to be communicated clearly to the citizens, e.g., in the form of an open and mandatory register. d. What specific cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements or other implementation tools are envisaged and what is the relevant time frame for the proposed decisions to be reached and actions to be implemented? " Protecting the rights of civil activists. In many countries, activists working for a sustainable and just future are being persecuted for their actions, at worst even murdered. Protecting civil activism and the rights of civil activists is a fundamental task of all the states that must not be neglected. ***** (For additional points, see the joint proposal submitted by the Finnish Service Center for Development Cooperation, the "Finnish NGOs' Contribution to Rio+20 Bureau Compilation Document") Mr. Jouni Nissinen Head of environmental protection Finnish Association for Nature Conservation cell. +358-40-828 1881 firstname.lastname@example.com About us: The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation (FANC) is the largest membership-based environmental non-governmental organization in Finland.

Spotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsJune 26, 2013by Sue Keever Watts
Branding today isn't solely about visual representation. A company's logo doesn't stand alone as the company's brand. A brand has to work much harder. To be successful, it must evoke an emotional reaction, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec knew this better than anyone.
I went to an exhibit a few months ago at the Dallas Museum of Art and learned that the earliest forms of advertising were done by way of the poster. Early posters in Europe were uninspired but plentiful, as they appeared like graffiti on every major street in London, Holland, Paris, and cities in the United States. Things changed dramatically when artists took on responsibility for poster design. At the same time, a new form of advertising was introduced in Renaissance Europe as advances in the printing press introduced the world to mass communications.
Posters were the medium of the day, and Toulouse-Lautrec was celebrated for his ability to use color to capture the dramatic scenes of Paris life. Imaginative, theatrical, melancholy, and mysterious designs created an emotional response from viewers and ultimately moved communications from informational to emotional.
Today's employer brand must also appeal to the spirit of its intended viewer. A successful brand appeals to a deep-seeded need or a long-held value. It isn't simply informational in nature. As you go about developing or refining your employer brand, take a moment to look backward. Look at the history of advertising through the lens of the poster. The heart of recruiting lies in our ability to use beauty, drama, emotion, and the desire for human connection to inspire action from our intended audience.

Is quarterback Matt Flynn golden, or fools gold?
Make no mistake about it. I LOVE Matt Flynn, and have since he spanked the Miami Hurricanes in the 2005 Peach Bowl in his first ever college start at LSU.
He's a playmaker, which he showed in his two NFL starts the past two years.
He's a winner, which he showed leading the Tigers to a National Championship.
But let us not misunderstand something. Being a playmaker, and a winner doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be a franchise quarterback.
Flynn's an NFL mutt, which puts him in the company of quarterbacks like Matt Moore, who lacks the rocket arm, stellar physique, and overall pedigree it takes to become an early draft pick.
But Kurt Warner was a mutt. Tony Romo is a mutt. Matt Schaub's a mutt. Didn't stop any of those players from turning into franchise quarterbacks.
The same could happen to Flynn if he gets the opportunity.
Considering the struggles the Dolphins franchise has had finding a solid, stable, healthy quarterback, one with enough upside to build around, it would be wise for this franchise to pursue Flynn as a free agent considering Miami's situation.
First, if he's not franchised by Green Bay – and I doubt he will considering it would guarantee Flynn about $15 million for 2012 and expose tight end Jermichael Finley – he'll be FREE.
Second, if Joe Philbin is the team's pick as head coach then Flynn is familiar with the west coast offense Philbin will install. Mike McCoy and Todd Bowles might also want a piece of the action considering Kyle Orton or Jason Campbell are the next best option on the 2012 quarterback free agent market.
Third, Miami is presently behind Cleveland and Washington in the race for Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, which means it will likely take a king's ransom (probably two first-round picks, and two second round picks AT LEAST) to move ahead of both teams to select the Heisman Trophy winner.
Fourth, the second tier quarterbacks – Ryan Tannehill, Nick Foles, Brandon Weeden, Case Keenum – are solid options in the second and third round (they'll rise higher than they should because of the supply and demand issue), but are they REALLY franchise quarterback material? And if not, are they worth the time and investment it would take for them to develop (think at least two years).
That brings us to Flynn, who sizzled in his overtime win over the Lions last month. That performance drove up his price tag, but a closer look at his big numbers revealed some concerns.
Just about everyone of Flynn's throws against the Lions were from the shotgun. Me…no…like.
Flynn has a strong enough arm, but its not a rocket. This might become a concern playing in the Meadowlands, and in Buffalo.
Flynn's first touchdown to Jordy Nelson was a quick out to Nelson, who beat the cornerback for the touchdown with a shake and bake move. That's not a big time throw. It's a great play by his receiver.
The big screen pass that tailback Ryan Grant scored on, which came on a hot read from a blitz, had more to do with the player and the blocking than the quarterback.
Flynn potentially threw a pick-6 to Alphonso Smith by making a bad read, going to the Jordy Nelson well one too many times.
His best throw to Nelson, which was good for a touchdown came on a free play because of an offsides penalty. Not sure Flynn would have thrown it deep if it wasn't a free play. Smart play though.
The conclusions I made from watching every snap of that overtime win against the Lions, which did feature a kill…..is Flynn benefited from good playcalling by the Packers (Aaron Rodgers was supposedly calling the plays), loved Flynn's aggressive approach, and Jordy Nelson is a beast.
The bottom line…. Flynn's performance against Detroit and New England last year showed he can read defenses, and throws accurately when on the move. It's clear he has upside.
However, it would be in his best interest to play for a west coast offense (either following Philbin where he lands, or going to Cleveland).
But is Flynn worth a five-year, $50 million dollar contract? I'd love to say he was, but two solid games doesn't warrant it. But if the price is right why not take the risk because Flynn could be the next Matt Schaub.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is more than just a buzzword. As more and more for-profit companies become directly involved in community stewardship, charitable organizations can benefit from meaningful support that goes beyond philanthropic dollars to include cause-based awareness building and group volunteering.
On April 20, Catholic Charities welcomed volunteers from Viacom's annual ViaCommunity Day, in which Viacom employees join forces to support community projects in cities around the world. Thanks to the energetic team, a long-awaited and much-needed painting project was completed at the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Center in Harlem.
The Kennedy Center's fourth floor Alumni Conference Room, a multipurpose room used for activities ranging from Bible study classes to choir rehearsals, offers great acoustics for music rehearsals – but the mustard-yellow walls have been in need of a refreshing paint job. Luckily for the Kennedy Center, roughly 25 volunteers from Viacom, the parent company of Paramount Pictures and media networks including MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and BET, dedicated their day to painting the room a crisp, bright white.
Lead by Staci Bruce, Catholic Charities Director of Volunteer Services and former Viacom employee herself when she worked for Showtime, and Tara Clark, the project's team leader, the painting project was able to get completed by lunch time.
"I always look forward to [ViaCommunity Day]. This is a great way to build camaraderie and also help the community," said Tara, who works for Nickelodeon.
And help the community they did. A painting project of this magnitude could be very costly and take three times longer if contracted with a private company. During times when nonprofits must contend with reduced budgets and limited funding, volunteer projects like this are often the only way these community-based charities can keep serving their clients. This is especially so for the Kennedy Center, which serves more than 6,000 people every month, operating services ranging from college preparation workshops to a food pantry for the elderly.
Stacy Katz and Kelly Sherman of Comedy Central discussed why ViaCommunity Day is of particular importance to them:
"I like to give back but I don't always have the time to do something like this. Viacom takes charge in setting this up each year and actually encourages people to show up and help."
The Kennedy Center wasn't the only site that benefited from today's event. While most Viacom volunteers painted the room, a dozen split off to work on painting a mural that will be presented to the Beacon of Hope House, a Catholic Charities Community Services program that serves physically and emotionally challenged individuals.
Viacom was named the overall leader in CSR practices by PR News in 2011.

The Russell Stover Cream eggs hold a special place in my heart. They're the candy that was always the big treat during the Easters of my childhood. I liked the fact that they came in different flavors, so there was always one that appealed to your current mood. My favorite flavor is the Maple Cream (review to come!) but the Strawberry always came in as a close second. The vanilla, coconut and the white chocolate coconut eggs (which are sadly discontinued) were always present too. So much yumminess!
This Strawberry Cream egg is milk Chocolate covered. You can smell its sweetness as soon as you open the package. It' sweet, milky and has a slight berry kick to it. It reminds me of how a milkshake smells in a way. When you hold the egg in your hand, it's surprisingly light for it's size. It weighs in as only an ounce, but really packs in the flavor.
Taking my first bite, I notice that the milk chocolate is sweet and creamy. It has a great caramel cream taste to the chocolate. Out of many mass produced chocolates here in the US, I think Russell Stover's falls on the sweeter side. That has both its pro and cons. One I peel away a bit more of chocolate, I get to the flavored interior. The strawberry center is very fuffy and rich. The taste is sweet at first, then a nice jammy flavor kicks in and it's very fruity. It does taste of the strawberries, kinda like strawberry ice cream. Its' very sweet, so I get a throat burn. I make sure to have a glass of water or coffee handy.
I feel like I should mention that I eat these eggs a little strangely. I nibble off all the chocolate top and side then lick out the fluffy inside. It feels like pulling chocolate panels off a soft object. This makes the candy somewhat interactive and last longer.
I really love this Strawberry Cream Egg, and I ok with saying I think a lot of that love is the nostalgia of them. If you've never had one, I recommend trying one out to see if it's your kind of thing. Traditions always start somewhere!

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: electrifying short stories; a new memoir by Salzman that explains a lot; Strout's wonderful latest; fascinating YA novel; a Danish fantasy; and a chilling Outback tale.
Damage Control : Stories by Amber Dermont
Short stories that know how to get the reader's attention, as in this first line: "When the baby fell out of the car, she bounced twice." Some settings: the LBJ Ranch, a Carmelite nunnery near a bowling alley (yes, the nuns bowl), a cruise ship called Valkyrie where a woman serves as a traveling companion to rich widows. Two intriguing pieces in sections; the first about the making and unmaking of a soldier, the second on the "anatomy of pain." Broad satire, sometimes pretty nasty, as in the title story about the Sis and Hasty Breedlove School of Southern Etiquette. Lively, for sure.
The Man in the Empty Boat by Mark Salzman
Here's a writer I've enjoyed greatly but hadn't seen anything from him in quite a while. This slim book explains it all beautifully. As Salzman puts it, he comes from a family of " rabbits": twitching whiskers, almost crippling anxiety. He tried to combat this with the study of Zen and martial arts, as detailed in his earlier memoirs. Made a good marriage, had children, but nada on the writing front—for 12 years. Then they got a dog, over his severe objections, and that dog's fart broke the evil spell. Of course a lot preceded that—his mother's death, his sister's death, his father-in-law's stroke. All of which softened him up for this unlikely mini-satori. As for the empty boat itself, it's an ancient Taoist tale. Such a satisfying story in Salzman's disarming, intimate style I've missed so much.
The Burgess Boys by Elizabeth Strout
Benighted Shirley Falls, Maine, has produced one shining star: Jim Burgess, hotshot lawyer now based in NYC. Sister Susan is still there, though, and when her sad, lost teenage son Zach throws a defrosting pig's head into a local Somali mosque, all hell breaks loose, both societal and familial. Brother Bob, Susan's twin, is also a lawyer but a good-hearted sad sack, childless and divorced. The strains of the event fray everyone radically and we eventually learn the heart of lie that has shaped the Burgess boys early on. We also get to know the local immigrant Somali community, a hard fit in conservative New England but a part of the town's survival. Rich, nuanced characterizations in which truth trumps glamor –Strout is very good at introducing prickly folks who gradually win your love (as in her wonderful, eponymous Olive Kittredge). The CD arrived before the book for me and I appreciated the reader who does the voices very well, from back East to Middle East.
Silhouette of a Sparrow by Molly Beth Griffin
A young adult novel, slim and fascinating. Nonconformist Garnet, 16, spends a summer with an unpleasant aunt and cousin at a Midwest hotel by a lake. She's fascinated by birds and can make deft shadow cutouts. Perhaps here she'll learn to act more like a lady and accept her fate: marriage and a family. Instead she gets a job with a milliner, explores the forbidden amusement park and dance hall, and falls in love with a flapper. Great sense of time and place; fine portrait of an unusual coming of age, nifty ornithological material.
The Vanishing Act by Mette Jakobsen
Danish fantasy: a tiny isolated island with odd denizens. Minou's mother disappeared (they finally buried her velvet shoe, all that they could find of her), the Boxman creates props for magicians, the Priest bakes pretzels, and her father studies and lives Philosophy. Dreamlike, often baffling but magical, radiant imagery.
The Engagement by Chloe Hooper
Another book that chilled me; I read it at a remove because I wasn't rooting for any of the characters. Well perhaps Liese as she gets deeper and deeper into trouble on this isolated ranch in the Outback. But didn't she create her fate by setting up assignations in the properties she was showing to this well-fixed farmer looking for a pied –a- terre in Melbourne? She's in debt, money changes hands between them—it all seems simple and cozy. But on this long weekend just before she's slated to leave, things go very much awry. The shift in power, the growing dread, the decaying mansion all make for a grisly gothic tale, which is what kept me reading.
Back next Monday.
