I had the privilege of speaking with Gregg Chillin (Zoroaster) and Laura Haddock (Lucrezia Donati) about season two of "Da Vinci's Demons" at a press roundtable back during New York Comic Con. If you missed it, here's my interview with Blake Ritson and Carolina Guerra. Be sure to check back next Friday for an interview with Tom Riley and David Goyer. Catch the season two premiere of "Da Vinic's Demons" on STARZ on March 22 at 8.
Q: Laura, what can you tell us about your character in season two?
Laura Haddock: Well she goes off on quite an epic journey, both emotionally and geographically. I get the opportunity to explore Lucrezia seven or eight years ago. So I get the opportunity to go back and do some flashback kind of stuff, which was amazing because I got to play and see and feel how she felt seven, eight years ago when a certain thing happened, and how that's changed her life. How she would have been a completely different woman if this thing hadn't happened to her, but it did and there's nothing you could do. It changes a person forever. There's nothing that she could do. So it allowed me a little sneaky peek into her life before, and really understand why she is the person that she is. And it made me feel really, really connected to her, and actually I felt huge sympathy for her. And I understand the truly horrific situation she is in at this point, having to do all these things, not wanting to, but she has to. She's avenging something that was tragic.
Greg, you have some really interesting stuff coming up as well. You have a storyline about having to rescue Nico. There's a character named Amerigo Vespucci, and it turns out your character may have a bit of history. There's really a lot of cool things going on this time, don't you?
Greg Chillin: Yeah, it's cool. I've said before, but I think you get to learn more about Zora sort of two episodes in season two than you did the entirety of season one, which is cool. It's just been fun sort of exploring the character more. I'm not so much the sort of wise cracking sidekick this year.
LH: There's that but there's also really dramatic stuff.
GC: There is that also. Truly like me and Leo are kind of…the key thing is why do I follow Leo around? And I know that there's things happen in season two that allude to our history together, and that I know that David has plans in the future to really go back and look at that. What's interesting about the show is when they go back – you know, we started in Florence. We're all sort of fully formed kind of characters, but we don't know what drives us, and how we end up being where we are. What's great about this, you know, like your flashbacks in season two, we suddenly jump back like seven years ago, and it's kind of incredible seeing these fresh faced characters.
LH: I mean there was a lot of concealer that day. It was a hell, my make up call was long. Can you take the years off me? Go. There was no coffee that morning.
Blake mentioned that you [Greg Chillin] and him have some interesting scenes since he's joining along on your journey, so how does that work out? I mean you tied him up. You're not friendly people.
GC: Oh my gosh. I have to say we've had lots and lots of fun this year. But yeah, Blake, Riario rather, nearly kills me about a hundred times this season. He's relentless. I'm nearly numb to it, you know? It's just, what's good about this season is that a lot is the same, but a lot of different. Characters you know but haven't seen together get thrust together in a particularly bad situation. It's interesting seeing the new dynamics work. That's what's been fun this year.
LH: Yeah, definitely. We got a little opportunity, didn't we?
GC: Yeah, we had a few.
LH: We did a little water number.
GC: Yeah, exactly. We put our speedos on.
How are things changing for Lucrezia this year now that the jig is up? Now that people know what she's about.
LH: Yeah, well part of the jig is up, but not all of the jig. There's so much more jig to be up. Listen, if she went back to Florence at this point, it would be horrendous. I mean, I don't know if she'd survive it, so that's why she's had to kind of take herself off on this journey. What she did last season was just awful, but I feel like, and I've said this, I feel like I want an opportunity to sit, I think with Leonardo. I think he'd be the only person who would just get it, and understand, and not judge. I think I want the opportunity where we sit down, we have a cup of tea, and say "Listen, this is what happened to me. This is what I have been made to do. This isn't who I am, but I have to do it because there's no other choice." And I think he'd go, "I get that. I get it." Because, you know, we have massive similarities, and the kind of mother/father complex we both have. Yeah.
If you talk to Blake, for example, and he talks about Riario. Riario has very real reasons for what he does, and he doesn't consider himself a villain. He's got God on his side. He's got the Pope. But for your character, can she justify what she does?
LH: I think some people when they are doing things like that can brainwash themselves into thinking that what they're doing is right. Other people have a huge sense of guilt, and a humongous sense of being out of control of a decision that has to be made. It's not her decision, but she has to do it. Because there's a huge reason why she does everything that she does. I won't go into it because you'll see it, but when you see what happens, you'll understand. It's her whole heart was broken was changed.
GC: There's some incredible flashback scenes with Lucrezia, when you jump back like seven or eight years ago. It's like such an eye opener. It makes you really see that character in an entirely different light.
LH: And I didn't want to, last season, do all these things that I knew I had to do. Like reading the scripts and going, "Oh my gosh. She does what? She does what?" And I didn't want it to be that it was an easy thing for her to do. I wanted her to feel everything that she did because it's not who she is. That's not the girl she was supposed to be. She's had to learn it, and develop it, and fake it. So I really wanted to make her really, really three dimensional and not just a crazed woman like stabbing people left, right, and center. Because when you stabbed someone, you feel guilty. Like I feel guilty about stabbing people.

Is Netanyahu "Crying Wolf" About Iran?Written by Jack Kenny
The online publication The Intercept on Monday published a history of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's previous claims that Iran was about to produce a nuclear bomb.
In his speech to a joint session of Congress that sparked weeks of controversy, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu portrayed the Iranian regime's nuclear program and the deals surrounding it as a major threat to the United States, Israel, and the world. Calling on U.S. lawmakers to block the "very bad" agreement with Tehran that he said would preserve the regime's ability to produce enriched uranium for nuclear weapons in a short time frame, the Israeli leader said Iran's autocracy threatens world peace and must be opposed. Critics of the speech noted that Netanyahu and others have a long history of supposedly "crying wolf" over Iran's nuclear program. In Congress, the Israeli leader's warnings about the alleged threat were warmly received. Still, Netanyahu's speech drew impassioned responses from supporters and opponents alike.
Jeb Offers More Bush World ChaosWritten by Jack Kenny
Appearing before the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Wednesday, undeclared presidential candidate Jeb Bush acknowledged "there were mistakes made in Iraq."
President Obama Wednesday morning asked Congress to authorize the use of ground forces against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Why should the United States send lethal weapons to Ukraine? Whatever reasons are offered and debated, surely Senator Lindsey Graham's feelings should not be among them.

You can try and avoid it as much as you want, but over the next month you're going to be inundated with Christmas music. It seems like the Christmas Music Industrial Complex grows exponentially bigger every year. Arenas are packed with groups like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, who actually split into two camps so they can cover more ground in December. Countless artists – from Justin Bieber to Scott Weiland – released Christmas CDs this year. Most Christmas songs are insipid and horrible, but some gems have slipped by over the years. Last week we asked our readers to vote for their favorite Christmas songs. Click though to see the results.

Belly Fat Takes Your Breath Away
Some people think love handles are cute, but a new study claims carrying extra weight around the abdomen impairs lung function. Published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, researchers examined data on 120,000 people in France, assessing smoking history, alcohol consumption and lung function with respect to Body Mass Index, determining participants with chubby waists, over 35 inches for women and over 40 inches for men, had impaired function; Reuters reports.
Belly fat gets a ton of bad press. In February, a study of 22,211 people with migraines revealed those with bigger waists had more headaches. According to Dr. Fuhrman a diet full of toxins, like alcohol, contributes to headaches and migraines as well. Belly felt has also been linked to greater risk of death.
I can relate to this. When I was slimming down and running a lot my breathing felt sort and shallow, but now it's much deeper, especially when I do Yoga and I recover a lot faster after a run too.

This auto dealer and repair shop is a high traffic commercial activity. They park some beautifully restored classic American muscle cars in their showroom – on carpet – away from the rough New England weather.
When Hoss Home Care showed up to restore their carpet, it was a spectator sport. They did not expect the stains to go away – mostly organics and ground in grime. But, the deep stains and grime disappeared.
The stains were erased, the carpet was restored – they had not seen its true texture and nap for years. The customer was very, very pleased with the results and so was Hoss Home Care!

What are you carrying and in what? Size isn't necessarily the issue.
This is a discussion on What do the small guys use??under 165lbs within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm 5'10" 155lbs. Just wondering what suggestions you other small guys might have for comfortable concealed carrry? My iwb digs into my side to much. ...
I'm 5'10" 155lbs. Just wondering what suggestions you other small guys might have for comfortable concealed carrry? My iwb digs into my side to much. Thanks.Keith
What are you carrying and in what? Size isn't necessarily the issue.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!
-- Theodore Roosevelt --
Pocket carry, or OWB might suit you then. What IWB rig are you using? There are differences in the holsters out there. A quality holster with a sweat shield and good design might work better, such as those by UBG,
HBE or Brommeland to mention a few.
I've got a Kahr K40 in a Andrews McDII IWB I like, also a Keltec P3AT in a K Rat pocket holster. Waiting my Mx Con from Brommeland for my GLocks. Also have a KD OWB Defender I like for my Glocks.
alot depends on body type, holster ect. My buddy is about 160 5-8 and carries a Glock 19 IWB. Just depends on what works for you.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson
Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
Did you buy your pants to fit you and the gun or just you?
I'm 150# and carry an N-Frame 4" Revolver IWB with no worries. Try letting your pants out 1"-2" and that may relieve the discomfort. All of my suits are sized to accomodate the weapon. In fact, I get "fitted" for my suits with the weapon on.
I'm not as tall, but the same weight. I also have issues with IWB...(waiting right now on a Garrity, which I hope will solve that).
I usually use a OWB, they don't poke or prod you...just a little more difficult to cover.
A vote is like a rifle, its usefulness is based on the character of the user -T Roosevelt
If you carry a gun, some will call you paranoid. If I carry, what do I have to be paranoid about? -C Smith
An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. -J Cooper
I understand your dilemma. I am also a small guy, 5'6" 145#. I typically carry IWB as it provides the best concealment for me. However, most IWB holsters I have tried put too much pressure on the greater trochanter of my femur bone which eventually causes discomfort. Maybe my hips are just screwed up or something. I've tried OWB but none seem to pull the gun in close enough to my body making concealment only viable with heavier cover garments like jackets. Also being small, I have a hard time finding button-down shirts and polos that aren't too tight/short or end up being night gowns. SOB used to work quite fine, until I realized what a fall could do to me and how easily someone could disarm me.
5'9.75" and 168#s. When working in the business casual dress, I hide all my toys using a UC Comfort 3XH t-shirt holster. When not in a business casual dress code or off duty, I use a ITP holster with a (major importance) high quality belt. Carry everything from Sig 229s, Glock 19, BHP, Kahr TP9, 1911s, S&W K Frames ect, and 80% of my holsters are ITP. The rest are on the belt, thigh rigs and shoulder rigs.
I will say....if its a cheap belt or a cheap holster....your doomed with ITP. Its why I only use high quality custom made ITP holsters and consider Don Hume and Galco to be holsters to use till my custom ones get made.
"Respect all ... Fear none!!!
I'm 5'9", 160lb. I can't seem to use IWB holsters either for the same reason you describe. They just are not comfortable to me. I carry my G30 in a Don Hume J.I.T. slide (OWB) and it works really well for me.
sorry it's a taurus millenium pro pt111 9mm. i just ordered a holster similar to the kangaroo style. hopefully i will like. thanks.
i wish i could. i'm 24 and have weighed the same since i was 16! maybe i should drink more beer??
I'm 5'10" and 160lbs soaking wet, but I carry a GI model 1911 in a Galco Summer Special (IWB) rig.
TSgt. Lickey
It takes a college degree to break'em;
and a high school education to fix'em!
5'7", 142 lbs on a good day here. I carry what's in my signature line, a steel framed Colt Commander in a leather IWB holster from Gary Brommeland.
First and foremost, if you don't have a good belt, get one! I use a 1.75" wide 5-stitch Wilderness belt and it's great. If you're like me, having the belt at just the right length is critical for comfort. The Wilderness belt gives you infinite adjustability.
Second, if you're not using a quality holster, get one. This can be difficult but is also critical for comfort. Gary's leather is wonderful, but so is the work of many others on this board. Look around and see what you like.
Third, give it time. It's going to feel strange for a few weeks, but given time you may just forget it's there.
Finally, IWB might not be for you. I'm looking at trying an OWB holster since I have broad enough shoulders relative to my waist to pull it off (I think). One of the between-the-belt-and-pants holsters out there may work well for you. It's a never ending search. Best of luck!

Im 5' 11" 155lbs. I never had a hard time concealing anything. Exept for my 4" GP-100. I need a OBW holster and a gacket as cover garment, To conceal that.
I use a floppy Uncle Mike holster, at 1:00. For my Rossi R31502, .38 snubnose.
I use a Desantis "Cozy Partner", at 3:30. For my Springfield G.I.
A cheap (but good) nylon holster, at 3:30. For my G19

Sharing the Word of God... World-Wide
~ Our relationship with each other ~
There is not a whole lot I can say, because The Word of God is real plain here. I hope you all read this to the end. Remember that Jesus set the example for husbands to follow. We are to love our wives as Christ loves The Church, in a loving, nurturing, understanding way. Christ never yelled at or abused The Church.
Colossians 3:18-21
(Rules for Christian Households) 18) Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19) Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. 20) Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21) Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
Titus 2:1-8
(What Must Be Taught to Various Groups) 1) You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. 2) Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. 3) Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4) Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5) to be self controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. 6) Similarly, encourage the young men to be self controlled. 7) In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8) and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
There are people who can walk away from you. When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible says 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. [1 John 2:19] . People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over. I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to LET GO OF IT!
If you have a husband that was never joined to you at the hip, or a marriage that was never blessed by God, then ask Our Father into your marriage, or get out of it! If your man is a dead beat, ** then get on your knees and ask God to forgive you of YOUR poor choice! If it was Our Father's choice for you to be married to one another, you would both be HAPPY!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...
If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...
If someone has angered you ...
If you are still holding thoughts of evil and revenge ...
If you are in a wrong relationship or addiction ...
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents ...
If you have a bad attitude...
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves...
If you're feeling depressed and stressed ....
If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him...
If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to let go of the situation, and let God do what is BEST for you!
Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
Get Right or Get Left behind!
**1 Timothy 5:8
8 If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever

The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries' Chickahominy Wildlife Management Area is 5,217 acres of woodlands along the Chickahominy River managed primarily for upland species. The uplands, mainly hardwood and pine stands, are punctuated by several mowed, cultivated, and successional fields. Marshy guts and tidal creeks cut into the forest and further accentuate the site's diverse habitat. The main north-south road (Rt. 621), as well as a number of side trails, provides access to the extensive woodlands. Visits may yield sightings of many upland and wetland plant and animal species including deer, and turkey and nesting and migrant passerines. From bluffs overlooking the Chickahominy River, herons and bald eagles can often be seen fishing.
From Sherwood Forest Plantation, return to SR 5 and turn right (east). Follow SR 5 approximately 5.0 miles to Rt. 623. Turn left on Rt. 623 and follow it for about 3.0 miles to Rt. 621; turn right and travel east 4.0 miles to the main parking area at the boat launch.

UA-UNLV Series History
All-Time: Arizona leads 1-0
First Meeting: Sept. 22, 2001 (Arizona 38, UNLV 21 at Tucson)
Last Meeting: Sept. 22, 2001 (Arizona 38, UNLV 21 at Tucson)
Streak: Arizona has won only previous meeting
Some Game Themes: Arizona hits the road for the first time ready to press its luck in the city of sin … Only the second all-time meeting between the programs, but the Wildcats hope to pick up where they left off from the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl – a 31-21 victory over BYU at Sam Boyd Stadium … Both teams will try and push the tempo offensively, but finishing drives will surely be a key … The Rebels outgained Minnesota by nearly 100 yards, but in the end managed to score on just two of four red zone tries … Capitalizing – or preventing – big plays will also be something to keep an eye on for each side … Long plays were the dagger in Minneapolis, while the Wildcats benefitted from a handful of their own big ones in Tucson … Rebel quarterback Nick Sherry, a prolific passer, spread the ball to 10 different targets last week, while Wildcat quarterback B.J. Denker, a dual-threat runner and passer, mostly stuck to the running game … Arizona anticipates having Ka'Deem Carey back in its stable of running backs after serving a suspension last week … In his place, Daniel Jenkins racked up two scores and 100 yards on the ground, setting the stage for quite a tandem in the backfield … Can Arizona's defense build off a steady start that saw it hold Northern Arizona scoreless and under 100 yards rushing? … UNLV figures to provide a balanced attack to test how much the Wildcat defense has improved … Will the Rebels deal a winning hand or will the Wildcats maintain a perfect start for Pac-12 schools against Mountain West foes? … A stretch of five-of-seven games away from home begins for Arizona.
Last Week: Arizona christened a renovated Arizona Stadium with a convincing 35-0 shutout of in-state neighbor Northern Arizona last Friday before 53,793 fans on a showery, muggy season-opening evening … The Wildcats relied on a steady and sometimes explosive ground attack to the tune of 306 rushing yards despite consensus All-American running back Ka'Deem Carey sitting out due to a suspension … Senior tailback Daniel Jenkins picked up the slack with his first career 100-yard game (139 total), highlighted by a 91-yard second-quarter touchdown burst that checked in third in the school record books … Senior Quarterback B.J. Denker earned the start and rushed for 71 yards and a score himself, plus was quite economical as a passer with a 9-for-13, 87-yard and one touchdown effort through the air … Redshirt freshman quarterback Javelle Allen saw his first collegiate action in the fourth quarter and used the opportunity to display his playmaking ability, which produced a 61-yard touchdown run for the final score … Otherwise, it was a night for the defense which stymied a scrappy Lumberjack offense that mustered 270 total yards, but a pair of missed field goals kept it scoreless … The shutout was the second in the last two seasons – both against FCS schools – for the Wildcats, who showcased added depth and some new faces … Junior safety Tra'Mayne Bondurant was a pest throughout, tying for the game high with seven tackles – one for loss – and a pair of interceptions, including a 23-yard return for a touchdown on the opening play from scrimmage in the third quarter … True Freshman Scooby Wright started at outside linebacker and showed he his fall camp performances were no fluke as he collected six tackles and deflected the pass Bondurant ended up stepping in front of for the score … Arizona improved to 12-1 all-time against NAU as it won for the 11th-straight meeting.
The Coaches: Arizona - Rich Rodriguez (West Virginia '86), second year at Arizona (9-5) and 19th as a head coach overall (129-89-2). At Arizona, Rodriguez's teams are 7-2 at Arizona Stadium, 1-3 on the road, 1-0 at neutral sites, 4-5 in Pac-12 games and 1-0 in bowl games (2012 Gildan New Mexico). Rodriguez was introduced as the 30th head coach of the UA football program on Nov. 22, 2011. He carries Division I records of 8-5 at Arizona, 60-26 at West Virginia (2001-2007) and 15-22 at Michigan (2008-10). He began his head coaching career at Salem University (W.Va.) in 1988 and then coached at Glenville State (W.Va.) from 1990-96. Rodriguez's West Virginia teams were Big East Champions in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 while appearing in two BCS bowls, the 2005 Sugar Bowl with a victory over Georgia for an 11-1 record and a victory over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl to finish 10-2 shortly after Rodriguez had left for Michigan. His teams have appeared in bowls in eight of 11 seasons an FBS head coach …UNLV – Bobby Hauck (Montana '88), fourth year at school (6-33) and 14th as a head coach overall (86-50). Prior to UNLV, Hauck spent the previous seven seasons as the record-setting head coach of the University of Montana where he compiled an overall record of 80-17, including leading the Grizzlies to three national championship games in the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA).
Seeking No. 10: Second-year Head Coach Rich Rodriguez has led the Wildcats to a 9-5 record since taking over and is now within reach of joining only a handful of coaches to tally double-digit wins in their first 15 games coaching Arizona. Only one coach in the modern era has reached 10 wins and that honor goes to college football hall-of-famer Jim Young whose Wildcat squads were 12-3 after his first 15 tilts. Otherwise, Miles W. Casteel (1939-48) posted a 10-5 mark, G.A. "Tex" Oliver (1933-37) went 10-4-1 and J.F. "Pop" McKale registered an 11-4 record through the first 15 games.
DJ Turns Up the Volume: In his third career start, senior Daniel Jenkins starred for the Wildcats with 152 all-purpose yards and a pair of touchdowns. Jenkins ran 12 times or 139 yard games, including his 91-yard explosion in the second quarter that put his team up 14-0. The 91-yard rush ranks as the second-longest touchdown run in school history (third-longest for all runs) behind Trung Canidate's 96-yarder against San Diego State in 1997 (Nic Grigsby 94-yard run to the 1-yard vs. NAU in 2009). Further, his 91-scoring jaunt tied with Arkansas State's Michael Gordon (rush) and Central Florida's Breshad Perriman for the longest play from scrimmage in the FBS on opening weekend. Jenkins also showed his versatility leading the team with three receptions for 13 yards, punctuated by an 11-yard touchdown reception to mark the Wildcats first score of the season.
Leaning on the Ground Game: Arizona became a dominant running team late last season and it showed it has the promise to be such a team again with 306 yards on the ground in the opener. Over the final four games a year ago, the Wildcats gained 1,246 rushing yards alone (more than the entire 2011 season total) for an average of 311.5 yards per game. The Wildcats now have four 300-yard rushing games in their last 12 contests, which is remarkable considering the program had gone 38-straight games since its previous such game (365 vs. NAU on Sept. 12, 2009). Senior Daniel Jenkins led the way last week with 139 yards, giving Arizona a 100-yard rusher in 11 of its last 13 games. In fact, Ka'Deem Carey (10 games), Daniel Jenkins (once) and Matt Scott (once) have combined for a dozen 100-yard rushing games the last two seasons.
QBs in a Rush: The two quarterbacks Arizona played against the Lumberjacks – B.J. Denker and Javelle Allen – both showed they are threats to run the football. Denker started and played into the fourth quarter, rolling up 71 rushing yards to go with his 87 markers through the air. Denker scored on a 30-yard keeper in the third quarter, which was Arizona's longest run by a quarterback since Matt Scott took off for 32 yards against Washington on Oct. 23, 2010. Denker's long scamper was overshadowed on quarter late. In the fourth period, Allen pulled the ball down and raced 61 yards for his first collegiate touchdown. Allen's burst was the longest run for a Wildcat quarterback in over a decade dating to Ortege Jenkins' 62-yard run as part of a 104-yard effort against UCLA on Oct. 28, 2000. However, Jenkins did not score on that play, but find paydirt on a 64-yard tote a season before against Oregon on Oct. 23, 1999.
Center of Attention: Junior college transfer Steven Gurrola started at center in his first game as a Wildcat, taking over for Kyle Quinn who had been a 22-game starter over the last two seasons before finishing his career at the New Mexico Bowl last December. Gurrola arrived this summer and was steady throughout camp. He was joined by veteran tackles Mickey Baucus and Fabbians Ebbele (52 combined starts), senior guard Chris Putton (20 starts) and sophomore guard Cayman Bundage, who had one start a year ago as a true freshman. Gurrola fit in quite nicely with the group, helping pave the way for 306 rushing yards and no sacks allowed last Saturday against the Lumberjacks. First-year line coach Jim Michalczik had to be pleased with the combined effort, but surely sees some areas for improvement.
That's All, Folks: Arizona's offense only ran 47 offensive plays last Friday against Northern Arizona, a staggeringly low total compared to the 83.2 plays per game a year ago. It had been 84 games since the Wildcats last ran fewer than 50 plays in a game when they snapped the ball only 44 times against USC on Sept. 23, 2006. A few big plays (rushing touchdowns of 91, 61 and 11 yards) helped produce an 8.2 yards per play average that would have been second-highest for a game a year ago (11.0 vs. Colorado on Nov. 10).
Pitching Shutouts: For the second time in two seasons, Arizona shut out an opponent as the Lumberjacks were blanked last Friday. A year ago, the Wildcats rolled to a 56-0 victory over South Carolina State on Sept. 15. That had been Arizona's first shutout in 52 games dating to a 70-0 rout of Idaho on Aug. 30, 2008. From there, it had been over a decade since the previous shutout which was on Sept. 14, 1996, in a 41-0 win against Illinois. The Wildcats were one of seven FBS teams to pitch a shutout the first week of the season.
Taking Turns: The Wildcats defense forced three Northern Arizona turnovers last Friday, including Tra'Mayne Bondurant's interception returned 21 yards for a touchdown on the opening play of the second half. Bondurant later added a second interception and true freshman corner Devin Holiday picked off his first career pass in the second half to turn in a three-interception game for the first time since last Sept. 8 in a 59-38 romp over Oklahoma State. Meanwhile, the Wildcat offense secured the ball and did not have a turnover on the evening for just the second time in the Rodriguez era (also vs. Oklahoma State). In the end, it was a plus-three margin in the turnover department for the Wildcats, who have not had a positive turnover margin in a season since 2008. Last year, Arizona was minus-1 for the year with 28 turnovers and 27 takeaways.
Mr. Efficiency: The sample size remains small, but with two career starts and backup duty in five others B.J. Denker has proven to be an efficient weapon at the quarterback positions. He has yet to put up some of the gaudy numbers his predecessor Matt Scott did much of last season, but his steady play could produce some breakout games with more experience. A key is protecting the football and making smart decisions, something coaches will continue to stress moving forward. Here are Denker's totals in his seven career games:
Comp-Att-INT Pass Yards TD Pct. Rush Att. Rush Yds. TD
34-50-1 346 4 68.0 34 145 2
Running Back Attack: The backfield tandem of Daniel Jenkins and Ka'Deem Carey is well known for its running abilities, but don't sleep on those guys in the passing game. Jenkins was actually the top target last week with three receptions, including an 11-yard touchdown on the season-opening drive. Meanwhile, Carey was a sneaky weapon in the prolific passing attack a year ago, hauling in 36 catches for 303 yards and a touchdown. The junior has 506 yards and three scores in his first two seasons. Expect both players to see increased roles in the passing game this season.
Quick Strikes: Arizona opened the season with a methodical 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that took up the first 3:49 of the game. The rest of the way, the Wildcats did not waste time scoring points. The second score was Daniel Jenkins' 91-yard run on the first play of a second quarter drive, needing only 14 seconds. The defense got in the action with a 1-play drive of its own when Tra'Mayne Bondurant's pick-six came on the first play of the second half. Later, B.J. Denker capped a swift 3-play, 48-yard drive with a 30-yard scamper into the endzone after only 50 seconds. The final score also came on the third play of a drive when Javelle Allen's 61-yard scoot capped off a 72-yard drive that consumed a lengthy 1:03 of clock in the fourth quarter.
Disciplined Start: While sloppy at times in the opener, Arizona was well-disciplined throughout. The offense did not turn the ball over and the Wildcats were flagged only two times for 30 yards in the game. The familiar early-season rustiness of procedure penalties and illegal substitutions was noticeably absent – a sign the coaching staff had player's full attention throughout camp. A year ago, the Wildcats were 77th nationally with 55.1 penalty yards per game. Continuing to clean up that area will only allow for more success in 2013.
TFL Tally: Nine different defenders combined for 11 tackles for loss against the Lumberjacks, a sturdy group effort after the Wildcats never had more than eight stops behind the line in a game a year ago. In fact, Arizona had played 32 games since its last double-digit tackle-for-loss game at Washington State on Oct. 15, 2010. Leading the charge last week was senior lineman Sione Tuihalamaka and senior corner Shaquille Richardson, who each set career-bests with two tackles for loss. Junior "spur" Tra'Mayne Bondurant added one to go with his two interceptions, as did senior linebacker Marquis Flowers, who led the squad with 13 TFLs a year ago. Senior linemen Tevin Hood and Justin Washington also tallied their own TFLs. True freshman linebacker Scooby Wright registered his first tackle for loss, and his classmate Derrick Turituri recorded a sack in the fourth quarter. For good measure, Arizona was also credited with a "team" tackle for loss when a Lumberjack ran out of bounds behind the line.
The Road Ahead: Opening up a season with a convincing 35-0 victory is promising for any team, but Arizona knows tougher challenges remain starting with the first road trip of the year this weekend in Las Vegas. In fact, it begins a stretch of seven games that will have the Wildcats on the road for five games. Arizona will close non-conference play at home next week (Sept. 14 vs. UTSA), then have a bye week before going at Washington (Sept. 28) and at USC (Oct. 10). Then it's a home tilt with Utah (Oct. 19) before hitting the road again for consecutive games at Colorado (Oct. 26) and at California (Nov. 2). Yes, that's just two more home games between now and the second week of November. But, the Wildcats will close with three of their last four at home in November.
Sophomore Surge: Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez knows how to build a program. In simple terms, program-building starts with a firm foundation put in place in Year 1 and grows from there. His track record is one that has produced improvement in his second year at a school where players and coaches alike are fully bought into his program. Here are the first and second year records by school for Rodirguez-coached teams:
School Year 1 Year 2 Improvement
Glenville State 1-7-1 4-5-1 + 3 wins
West Virginia 3-8 9-4 + 6 wins
Michigan 3-9 5-7 + 2 wins
Arizona 8-5 ??? ???
An All-American Season: Running back Ka'Deem Carey broke out in a big way as a sophomore to lead the nation with 1,929 rushing yards. Along with his 24 total touchdowns, Carey earned the praise of experts across the country who voted him a consensus All-American. Here are some of the highlights of his 2012 season:
- Led the nation in both rushing yards (1,929) and yards per game (148.38). Became first Wildcat to lead the nation in rushing since Art Luppino in 1955 (also 1954).
- Finished the season with 303 rushing attempts for 1,929 yards (both single-season school records). The yardage total ranks as the fifth-most in Pac-12 single-season history.
- Set an Arizona program record with 23 rushing touchdowns.
- Led the Pac-12 with 10 100-yard rushing games and matched Trung Canidate (1999) for the school record for 100-yard games in a season.
- Finished the season with 2,248 all-purpose yards, falling one yard shy of Dennis Northcutt's single-season school record of 2,249 set in 1999.
- Carey finished the season with 24 total touchdowns to tie Art Luppino (1954) for the most individual touchdowns in school single-season history.
Bookend Tackles: Junior tackles Fabbians Ebbele and Mickey Baucus account for 52 of Arizona's 75 career starts along the offensive line. With each registering 26 consecutive starts, the bookend duo was a significant part of the Wildcats' record-breaking offensive in 2013. They helped pave the way 227.8 rushing yards per game and the offense yielded only 18 sacks in 13 games while tallying 298.4 passing yards per game. Both Ebbele and Baucus are penciled in as starters at right and left tackle, respectively, for this week's opener.
Mr. Versatility: One of Arizona's offensive leaders is the ever versatile Chris Putton, a fifth-year senior who has mastered all five positions on the offensive line. Putton doesn't claim a natural position – he willing says he will play wherever coaches need him – but his skills are perhaps best suited at guard where he has made 20 career starts. In a pinch, he can slide out to tackle if needed behind starters Fabbians Ebbele and Mickey Baucus, or take the controls at center. His experience and versatility will pay dividends in the trenches this season.
Offensive Trends: Arizona has boasted one of the Pac-12's top offenses in recent years, but head coach Rich Rodriguez accelerated the development in his first season. The Wildcats have shown steady improvement in both total offense and scoring per game over the last four seasons. Here's a look with the NCAA and Pac-12 statistical ranks in parenthesis:
Year Tot. Offense (NCAA/Pac-12) Scoring (NCAA/Pac-12)

Senior Encore: Arizona welcomes back senior wide receiver/tight end Terrence Miller for a fifth season. The Moreno Valley, Calif., native was granted a medical hardship waiver in the spring and his return to the Wildcats gives Arizona a proven target in the offense and a leader on and off the field. Miller, who also received his degree in the spring, caught 13 passes for 143 yards and two scores in four games last year despite battling a series of injuries. His season was cut short for good after sustaining an injury on a touchdown at Stanford last October. Now healthy again, Miller can play any of UA's receiver positions in the slot or on the outside. He will also put his hand down as a tight end, so expect the Wildcats to move him around early and often. He had one catch for 14 yards against NAU.
Defensive Development: What a difference a year makes for defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel. In his first season implementing the 3-3-5 stack at Arizona, Casteel inherited one of the thinnest and youngest defenses in the nation evidenced by more than half of his depth chart comprising freshman or sophomore. This year, things shift in his favor with more depth and more experience. In fact, Wildcat defenders combined for 210 career starts entering this season paced by senior lineman Sione Tuihalamaka and senior corner Shaquille Richardson each chipping in 24 starts apiece (both started vs. NAU). Senior linebacker Marquis Flowers (started vs. NAU) had 23 starts to his credit and his fellow backer Jake Fischer (started vs. NAU) had 21 of his own. Plus, the Wildcats feel they added talent and depth in their freshman class, and linebacker starter Scooby Wright earned a start as a true freshman last week.
Desert Bloom: It was this time a year ago when Marquis Flowers was shifted from safety to linebacker to add depth at a position of need. Now, 12 months later, Flowers figures to be one of the top linebackers in the Pac-12 Conference. As a junior, he was second on the squad with exactly 100 tackles and led the team with 13 tackles for loss and a team-high 5.5 sacks. He also proved to have a nose for the football, intercepting three pass, forcing three fumbles and recovering another. A full year of experience and an offseason to study the defense in the film room should benefit Flowers even more, and he opened the season with six tackles, including one for loss, last week.
Scooby (Can) Doo: Despite a veteran starting unit on the defensive side of the ball, the Wildcats had a new face in their starting lineup against NAU. True freshman Scooby Wright earned a start at outside linebacker and turned in quite a performance in his debut. Wright was all over the field helping in the run game and pressuring the passer as the Wildcats shut out the Lumberjacks. In his first collegiate game, Wright finished with six tackles, including one for loss, and tipped the pass that Tra'Mayne Bondurant stepped in front of before returning it 21 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Wright was the only underclassmen among the Wildcats' defensive starters.
Tackling Machine: Senior middle linebacker Jake Fischer returns as one of the top tacklers in the Pac-12. A year ago, Fischer led Arizona with 119 stops and ranked third in the conference with 9.2 tackles per game. A physical, yet slightly undersized player, Fischer uses his high football IQ to put himself in position to make plays. He had 6.5 tackles for loss, four fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles and three passes defended a season ago as he returned to full strength after missing the 2011 campaign with an ACL injury. His perseverance paid off as he was a Pac-12 honorable mention selection in 2012 and could contend for higher honors this season. Fischer is on the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List and the Bednarik Award Watch List. He turned in a game-high seven tackles last week against NAU.
Happy Holiday: Playing in his first collegiate game, true freshman Devin Holiday wasted no time collecting his first career interception. The cornerback picked off Kyren Poe in the third quarter and returned it 10 yards, and he also added a pair of tackles in the game. It was an impressive debut for the natural cover man and it reminded some of former Wildcat and NFL veteran Antoine Cason's first game against the Lumberjacks. But Cason set a lofty standard when he picked off a pass, forced two fumbles and had a game-high 13 tackles in 2004. For now, Holiday will gladly take his opening effort and work to earn more playing time as he battles with veterans Shaquille Richardson, Derrick Rainey and Jonathan McKnight.
Scholarships Earned: Several walk-ons earned the praise of head coach Rich Rodriguez, who rewarded them with scholarships this offseason. Nose guard Tevin Hood, linebacker Sir Thomas Jackson and receiver Johnny Jackson earned scholarships in the spring, while running back Terris Jones and receiver Trevor Ermisch were put on scholarship last week. Rodriguez values a strong walk-on program and benefitted such a program himself. At West Virginia, Rodriguez started as a walk-on in 1981 and became a three-year letter winner as a defensive back from 1982-84.
Gridiron Graduates: Eight Wildcats have earned their degrees from the University of Arizona, a tally that ranks fifth nationally for FBS programs. Included are running backs Daniel Jenkins and Kylan Butler, receivers Terrence Miller and Richard Morrison, defensive backs Derrick Rainey and Justin Samuels, offensive lineman Eric Bender-Ramsey and defensive lineman Sione Tuihalamaka.
Up Next: Arizona will return home to close out its non-conference slate against the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) on Saturday, Sept. 14. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. (MST) with a live television broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.

So what's he doing now:
Talking: He says new words and phrases every day. I'm amazed at how his language has skyrocketed. It makes it so much easier for him to communicate with us. He can tell us what he wants and what he doesn't want. He can also yell "POOPY" in church. Yea, that part might not be a plus.
Playing: He plays by himself for periods of time and he loves to play with his brothers. He's really going to miss them when they go back to school in a few weeks.
Screaming: This is so not a good development. It started about 6 months ago and I'd hoped it was a phase. It's only gotten worse. Non.Stop.High.Pitched.Screaming. And he does it everywhere. Happy, sad, mad or tired is a reason to scream. Unfortunately you can't reason with a 2 year old. So we try to correct it the best we can but at this point it has little effect. I hope with more language will come less screaming. PLEASE LET THIS PHASE END SOON. And please let people realize he's TWO and stop giving me the stink eye when it happens.
Potty training: He's not there yet. But he knows what the potty is. But he likes wearing it on his head more than using it at this point.

Creating a wedding registry sounds like it would be fun. You picture a couple with one of those laser gun thingamajigs; they take off in the middle of a department store, zapping things that they want people to gift them to celebrate their love.
In reality, when you get married after your 20's, you've likely been living alone for awhile already and have your basic needs covered. Twice- he or she probably has it all, too. People keep asking if you have a registry so you know you need to make one but really...you want gift cards.
It takes a lot to make me squee with this stuff. The only thing until today that did so was finding a small collection of Kate Spade word game-related items, like this or this. (See the slideshow for magnified images.) We both love games and I particularly love literary games.
Wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah. "The only thing until today that did [make me squee]..."
Because today I found the Gourmet Grammarian plate set on Modcloth. (See the slideshow for magnified images of each plate).
I try to find the appropriate balance between being helpful and being super duper annoying when it comes to correcting grammar. These adorable dishes are a gentle reminder of the rules. And they're proactive! Helping others before they've even made a mistake. Now that's beautiful.

Are you a determined person or are you someone who wants things but never really musters up the motivation to make them happen?
Henry Ford once said, "The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can't are both right. Which one are you?"
I think Henry Ford was right. I feel if you really want something, you can make some version of this vision happen although without summoning your will in order to persevere, you will never make it through the journey.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines determination as, "a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult: the act of finding out or calculating something: the act of officially deciding something."
When I read these definitions, it makes me wonder if those who procrastinate or never put their plan into action are stuck in limbo because he or she hasn't actually decided to do it. Or, perhaps, calculations of impossibility (because of a lack of self confidence) have held these individuals back from finding their way to success.
I believe as a human being you are equipped with a persevering spirit, it is a gift from God and all you have to do is tap into this energy in order to enable its strength.
When you think about your life is there something that comes to mind that you are missing out on for some reason or another? As you read this article today, in this very moment, perhaps it is time to decide you are worthy of this decision. Put your mind to it, calculate your journey, surface your persevering spirit and step forward into a realization of this decision.
I'll leave you with words by Karen Lamb. "A year from now you may wish you had started today."

Virginia's pretty well covered. How are things where you are?
You can keep an eye on power outages here: http://www.dom.com/news/outage_map.jsp
At least 6 inches outside just north of Richmond. Road in front of the house is closed for utility work. Not looking forward to 11 degree temps tonight.
He came from planet Gore,
Made all the people snore,
Whined about heat,
And disappearing shore.
Here in Clifton (Fairfax County), we have about 6 inches of snow. I went out this morning around 5:30 a.m. to move my car around to see if the roads were okay to head into work, only to do a 180 in the parking lot. It is really beautiful and I intend to take photos later on today.
We are getting only a small amount of snow and ice here in Hampton Roads. Problem is that the area does a really job of dealing with slick roads (it is a rarity here so not a lot of resources are devoted to dealing with it) and there are numerous accidents.
However looking at how the entire East Coast is (or was) getting belted, I am congratulating myself that my time off from truck driving is well timed.
As it was coming down last night and this morning. Very pretty, but the Munchkin (if she were awake) would be very disappointed, because she already has today off for a Teacher Work Day…
the recording at my work location says we're at Code Red which probably means they were too lazy to clear the parking lots

MORAGA, Calif. - Senior shortstop Ashley Hansen set a new record for doubles in a career as the No. 10 Stanford softball team defeated Saint Mary's, 9-6, Wednesday in Moraga, Calif. The Cardinal improves to 19-3 overall, while the Gaels drop to 5-10.
Freshman Nyree White earned the start in the circle, recording her first win of the season. She finished with five strikeouts in her first complete game of the season. She now stands at 1-2 overall. The Gaels' Britany Linton falls to 3-5.
Stanford took an early 2-0 lead in the top of the second. With runners on second and third with no outs, senior Jenna Becerra grounded out to second to score sophomore Corey Hanewich. First baseman Tegan Schmidt then scored on an RBI single to left field by sophomore Caitlyn Pura.
Junior Jenna Rich added a third run in the third with a solo shot to left field. It is the second homer of the year for Rich and the 24th of her career, which ties Kira Ching and Alissa Haber for the eighth-most in school history.
Saint Mary's got on the board in the fourth, cutting the lead to 3-1. Shortstop Rebecca Sabatini led off with a single to right field, but a fielding error by Hanewich allowed Sabatini to advance to third. She scored as right fielder Nicole Arce grounded out to the shortstop.
The Cardinal tacked on two more runs in the fifth. With two outs, Stanford loaded the bases, setting up Becerra. She doubled to center field scoring Rich and Hanewich.
Stanford pushed the lead to 8-1 in the sixth inning. Pura led off with a single to left field. She then scored as freshman Hanna Winter hit an infield single and then an error by third baseman Mandy Camuso allowed Pura to score. Hansen single through the left side, scoring Winter. After Schmidt drew a walk to load the bases, Becerra was also issued a walk, scoring Leah White.
In the top of the seventh, Hansen registered an RBI double to score Winter. It marked the 73rd double of her career, breaking Haber's record of 72 set in 2010.
Saint Mary's put up a fight in the bottom of the seventh, scoring five runs on four hits. However, White was able to hang on and get the win for Stanford.zz
The Cardinal returns to The Farm to host the Louisville Slugger Classic, March 9-11, at Smith Family Stadium. Stanford will play six games over the three-day tournament against Ole Miss (twice), James Madison, Colorado State, Cal Poly and San Jose State.

Chicago Considers Privatizing Toll Road Linked to Indiana
The Chicago Sun-Times and other local media outlets reported on March 2 that the city-owned Chicago Skyway toll road may be sold to a private operator.
"Two years after raising the possibility of unloading the white elephant-turned-cash cow, Mayor Daley took the first concrete step toward privatizing it," noted the Sun-Times' city hall reporter, Fran Spielman.
Spielman reported city officials have issued a "request-for-qualifications" to private toll operators to gauge interest in the 7.8-mile roadway connecting Chicago and Northwest Indiana. Several dozen bids are expected.
"If those vying for the prize pledge enough cash, responsibility for operating and maintaining the Skyway could be turned over to a private operator by year's end," wrote Spielman. Annual operating and maintenance expenses for the Skyway currently run $12 million, and $400 million in debt remains.
Precedents Abound
The Chicago Tribune's transportation expert, Gary Washburn, noted "Privately owned toll highways now operate in several countries, including Canada, Spain, and New Zealand." In 1999, a toll road serving metropolitan Toronto was sold for $2.1 billion.
And that's not the only case, notes Robert Poole, director of transportation studies at the Reason Public Policy Institute. "Italy sold its major state-owned tollway agency in 1999 for $6.7 billion; Portugal did likewise that same year; and Spain sold its one remaining state tollway last year for $1.8 billion."
According to privatization expert Peter Samuel, editor and publisher of Toll Roads Newsletter, "Growing empirical evidence suggests that moving to private management and/or ownership is a superior arrangement. Such ... privatization can tap the expertise and other resources of private firms while at the same time avoiding the bureaucracy and perverse incentive structures that characterize the government sector."
In a 1996 report for The Heartland Institute, Samuel documented several toll road privatization successes in the U.S. and worldwide:
"In Virginia, the Dulles Greenway is a totally investor-built and -operated toll road. So are the 91-Express Lanes in the Los Angeles area. Smaller investor-built toll facilities have been built in Alabama and are under construction in Utah, Florida, and Texas, and others are being designed in Florida and California.
"Tollways in Orlando, southern California, and Colorado are still formally state or local government entities, but the overwhelming bulk of their operations is contracted out, so only a small number are on government payroll. Few people probably know it, but the Detroit-Windsor tunnel is privately owned, as is the Ambassador bridge between Michigan and Canada.
"A similar trend toward privatization is taking place internationally. Toronto's 407-ETR, the world's most advanced automated toll road, is fully privatized, as is the world's second automated highway, Melbourne CityLink in Australia. The formerly government-owned Autostrade SPA, which operates most of Italy's motorways, is in the process of privatization. France's Cofiroute SA, which generates more revenue than any U.S. toll agency, is investor-owned."
Skyway Proposal
Why consider privatizing the Skyway? Chicago's recently appointed budget director, John Harris, explained simply, "The city gets to cash in the equity value in the Skyway and use it to pay off existing debt and finance core city services."
The Skyway's $2 toll was last increased in 1993, and Harris told Spielman a new increase would be likely under a private contractor. "Over time," Harris noted, "tolls would have to meet the cost of operating and maintaining the facility as well as provide a reasonable return on the private operator's investment. But rates would need to remain fair and reasonable in order to continue to attract users," he pointed out.
The agreement, Harris added, would be for a term of no less than 50 years, "to give the buyer adequate title to claim depreciation" under federal tax rules. The private contractor would be expected to "bring to bear experience and expertise in operating toll-ways around the world in a very cost effective and efficient manner."
Correct Road to Travel?
"There is everything to gain and little to lose by calling for competitive proposals from investors ... on how they would operate and improve these facilities for the public, and on what terms," noted Peter Samuel. "With a set of real proposals on the table, open to full public scrutiny, there will be a chance for a more businesslike system to evolve, to the benefit of everyone who uses (or relies on others who use) the region's highways."
According to Spielman, "With less 'skimming' and reduced labor costs, transportation experts said a private operator could provide improvements like better snow removal. But they warned that City Hall had better be prepared to spell out expectations in 'excruciating detail' and make certain those standards are met."
"If they're not prepared to do that, there's going to be a problem. You can look at Hired Trucks [scandal] as a classic example of what happens when there isn't adequate follow-through," said Dave Schulz, the former city budget director who now runs Northwestern University's Infrastructure Technology Institute.
Reason's Poole agrees: "Obviously this needs to be done carefully. But with ample precedents to draw from, Chicago should be able to pull this off successfully, to the great benefit of Chicago taxpayers."
John Skorburg is managing editor of Budget & Tax News. His email address is email@example.com.

Another Before Project
38 comments:
I finally got around to hanging drapes here and it did make it look much warmer. I like your choices in this post.ReplyDelete
Yes, I have drapes that I also made.ReplyDelete
You have yourself a good list Penny! I love these inspiration pics, and so nice that you can sew.ReplyDelete
I love your room. I love the idea of making a list on your blog, too! Talk about accountability!ReplyDelete
Hi Penny,ReplyDelete
Your front room is so pretty and the windows give you so much light..but I know what you mean about drapes, they do finish off a room even if they are just for looks. I love the long curtains in your first photo I think they would look great in your room. I have both blinds and curtains. My curtains are just for looks to fill in the walls and to help make the windows look bigger. I have really short ceilings and so the long curtains help to bring the eye up. I love your grandfather clock!!!
I hope your feeling better. Big hugs, Elizabeth
Oh our room is so dreamy Penny - with or without window treatments. I have most drapes on my windows. I love the look of bamboo shades with panels on either side.ReplyDelete
For several years we left all windows but the bedrooms and baths with no curtains, drapes or blinds. We live in the woods so privacy was not an issue. What became an issue, though, was warmth, both physical and emotional. The rooms are just much cosier at night when drapes drawn.ReplyDelete
I just love your beautiful room! I love seeing out but also like the warmth of drapes or sheers on the windows for a cozier, warmer look. Can't wait to see what you do!!ReplyDelete
Penny your home is just gorgeous!!! I really love the pics you shared today!ReplyDelete
I'm realtively drape-less, but have too been considering adding them for a softer look. Thanks for sharing your inspiration, the rod in the last picture is wonderful.ReplyDelete
I love the inspiration photos but right now I'm just a teeny bit jealous of the sunlight coming in those big windows:>)ReplyDelete
Hi Penny, I think drapes would look lovely in your room. I have lace curtains as I didn't want to block too much light out and I really wanted them just to soften the look of the windows. I also have blinds so I don't need to draw the curtains. I like both the inspiration pics you showed so I think both are winners! I too have a very long list of 'to do's' this year, it's never ending is it!! take care, MaryannReplyDelete
I love your room, Penny. I do think drapes would give it a warm and finished look. I have drapes on all my windows except the kitchen. I like the warmth it gives a room plus we need them for privacy.ReplyDelete
Hi Penney, I think I probably have shown way to many of my family but I was asked to show more so I did. Thank you for your sweet comment.ReplyDelete
I hung panels on my wall of windows that are nothing but a look to warm up my great room. I think it did. They don't open or close but they are bronze silk that I loved. I have had many compliments about them so I feel I did the right thing. I like the valances for your windows and you won't lose the lovely light. I have always loved valences. They are not hard to make and if you find a beautiful fabric, I think they would add the warmth you are looking for. Dream on and get that shoulder well my friend.
Love ya, Jeanne
Go with the window treatments they add so much personality to a room. If you are going for cozy cottage with a little french on the side they can only enhance the space. Every time I install some for my clients they cannot believe the difference it makes to the lived in factor. As for the light if you make sure to almost clear the window on the sides and hang high you want lose any light.ReplyDelete
I agree about adding the bamboo shades they add another layer.
I have blinds and a few curtains...always waiting to see if there is something I like, but I kind of just like them with blinds? Love those pics, but I love how light your room is, it's my fave:)ReplyDelete
I like the drapes in the first picture. I wish I could sew my own. We need some for the great room at the lakehouse. The windows face the water and it is private, but I get the creeps at night! lol!ReplyDelete
Hope you are feeling better soon so that you can get at that list!
Since I live in an apartment I won't be putting up drapes...white vertical blinds were here when I moved in and management wants all apartments to appear the same from the outside...so no drapes for me.ReplyDelete
Your room is quite lovely. I like the picture of the long drapes on that type of rod...would definitely make the room appear warmer and actually be warmer. It will be interesting to see what you choose to create!
Yes, I have drapes,it's a privacy issue here. I love the look of the valance in the second picture.ReplyDelete
I made all the drapes in my daughters new house and she also has those two story high windows. In the dining room we used navy toile, which turned out lovely...but oh..what work it was to make them! I need to make my kitchen curtains, I have the fabric, I just need to get moving!
Oh, yes, some more golds and reds to complete a french country room would be great in your pretty room. I love your inspiration photos. Those colors in your drapes would warm things up, I think.ReplyDelete
I, myself, am not a curtain person and have blinds on my windows. Mostly it is because out here in West Texas, we have a lot of dust. Blinds are easier to keep clean than fabric.
I know that whatever you come up with will be beautiful.:)
We have blinds with a valance at the top in the living/dining room, because it's hard to see in those windows from the road. I don't like to be "closed in", so all of my windows have blinds, either vertical or horizontal, then some kind of valance, or sheer over them. I know what you mean about providing warmth for the room. My addition to the living room were a plaid valance, with lace overlay that I made. I really like the way they add that little touch, and yet aren't obtrusive. I like what you are looking at though, I think they would look great. Have fun deciding! SandiReplyDelete
I love all the natural light you have coming into that room.ReplyDelete
I love long drapes to the floor! And I couldn't wait to get the blinds off these windows and drapes up! I bought some of mine from Penney's and it was less than making them (on sale, they had just what I wanted at buy one, get one for a penny). I went to the Penney's in the AVL mall. You might check just for the fun of it!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see what you do. It makes me laugh because you and I always have the same inspiration photos in mind.ReplyDelete
I like both options Penny but I would have to say my fave are the long panels since you have suck high ceilings.I think the valances would bring your eye down and I know I would always want to be looking up and seeing your gorgeous chandy!:)ReplyDelete
Your room is really close to the inspiration in the first picture! Love the panels for softness. Very nice!ReplyDelete
Penny, how wonderful to have a wall of windows. I'd love to have that kind of light streaming in. So I guess the valance treatment would get my vote.ReplyDelete
Good luck with your decision. I know whatever you decide to do will be lovely. You have a great design sense. ~ Sarah
Penny your room is just beautiful and I love the French country look..Soooo much I would love to do just one room in my house with that look but too late now to get rid of my victorian antiques..Hugs and smiles GloriaReplyDelete
Gosh, I wish I was clever and could sew drapes! On our dining room/living room long wall I had cornise boxes made and upholstered in a stripe. On the slider I had a matching solid colored draw drape hung. On the two stationary windows I had matching solid roman shades made. Sometimes I wish I would have done something different, less "heavy" but they do help insulate the room. One of these days I'll do a post if I can get Becky to come over with her good camera and take pictures. The lighting isn't good in there. Can't wait to see what you do.ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed your blog and your decor ideas!ReplyDelete
I'm happy to be a new follower and see what's next!
Hoping your arm is better soon too!
We have blinds for the most part. I used to have semi-sheer tab top curtains/drapes in the living room. I might do that again for spring.ReplyDelete
Darla (the one in CA, I see another one here)
The drapes in your inspiration photos are beautiful and would look great in your living room. I do love the open bright look of your windows the way they are also.ReplyDelete
I hope you're more on the mend and closer to being able to dig into all of your projects each day :)
You have a great house Penny! We live in the country, so privacy with drapes etc is not a big problem either. Panels do warm up the room though...without covering up too much of your moulding etc. I want to do some changes with my dining room window when our kitchen reno is done too.ReplyDelete
I have drapes up in the winter, and in the summer I put sheers/lace up as it reminds me of my German family. Besides, I love the way it moves when the windows are open! I don't have anything on my one sliding glass door which I have been meaning to do since when it gets cold you can really feel it. That's why the drapes in the winter so I can close them to keep the heat in.ReplyDelete
I do love the photos from the French Country, and the colors!
Take care,
Living in the city as I do I have both blinds and drapes on my windows. I like to allow sunshine in during the day, so the open blinds preserve some privacy. I feel the drapes make the room look more finished and help insulate against the weatherReplyDelete
Penny, there seem to be great buys and choices in drapery panels available nowadays. Sewing them is sometimes more costly and definitely time consuming handling all that fabric! I love the linen blend panels from Target - I bought them in natural for living room, dining room, and master bedroom last year. Hanging from metal rings and clips they give the rooms more of a finished look than just blinds, but are not overbearing or fancy. I throw them in the washing machine, dry a bit in the dryer and then hang to finish drying, no ironing, as I like that Nordic/ French textured farmhouse look!ReplyDelete
Whatever you choose will be beautiful dear.
Hope you are healing well.
Hugs - Mary
I love the first picture!ReplyDelete
I have that same magazine, and I LOVE that room. Your room has a very similar feel already. Can't wait to see your exciting changes!ReplyDelete

A block away from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), on New York City's Greene Street, sits Tiffany, Louis Vuitton, and -- possibly in the future -- Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL). According to Crain's New York Business, the company is considering opening a Google-branded 8,000 square foot retail store at 131 Greene Street, a property currently listed in Ascot Properties NYC's online property portfolio. Is Google planning on taking a swing at the wildly successful Apple retail model?
Google's search for retail space in New York
While Ascot did tell The Wall Street Journal yesterday that Crain's report is "absolutely false," the Journal notes that Greene Street's appeal to high-end shops and shoppers would make it an auspicious location for the company. Greene St or not, Google appears to be out on a real estate scout.
The Journal's Rolfe Winkler and Keiko Morris explain:
Google has been shopping for space in SoHo for some time, said Faith Hope Consolo, chairwoman of the retail group at New York's Douglas Elliman Real Estate. "They've been talking to everybody," Consolo said. Last fall, she said a Google scout investigated a different retail space on Greene Street that she was representing.
Though Google's product offering is far more limited than Apple's, the company does have a few gadgets it could display: the Nexus line of smartphones and tablets, its Chromebooks, the Chromecast (which remains a best-seller in Amazon's electronics category), Google Glass, and a smartwatch later this year.
Learning from Apple
If Google could capture just a sliver of Apple's success in retail the move would likely be beneficial for the company. Apple retail stores are the world's most successful retail stores, raking in about $50 million in annual revenue per store, trumping Tiffany and Lululemon Athletica.
Beyond sales, Apple stores have intangible benefits, too. The storefront serves as a way to showcase the Apple brand and educate consumers. Apple CEO Tim Cook called Apple stores the "face of Apple," at the 2013 Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference.
While Google won't be earning Apple-like revenue if it decides to open its own stores, it could be a smart move for the company as it expands its product portfolio. The intangible benefits to the brand in high-traffic areas like Greene St. could have meaningful long-term benefits for the company.
Google has already developed some retail experience by posting employees in some Best Buy stores and a few others. The company also experimented with temporary stores called "Winter Wonderlabs" in six U.S. cities last winter. But could Google successfully launch a full-fledged Apple-like retail store?
