Stock Report (Game 5)
For as many opportunities as the Dolphins had to win Sunday's game against Houston, it shouldn't be too surprising to the players or coaches why they lost.
The reality is this team doesn't have enough talent to not dot every "i" and cross every "t", yet manage to pull out a victory.
These Dolphins just aren't talented enough to let a quarterback throw for nearly 400 yards, or allow a dynamic receiver like Andre Johnson to have a career day. These Dolphins can't afford to let a punt get returned for a touchdown. And they also can't shoulder converting only 2-of-10 third-downs.
That is why this loss shouldn't be surprising, because it was gift-wrapped despite the come back rally. It should be a lesson learned about the importance of taking care of the keys to the game. And a reinforcement on the significance of the "disciplined" aspect of that "smart, tough, and disciplined" mantra.
If the Dolphins had taken care of business Houston's final possession wouldn't have meant squat. The Dolphins wouldn't be whining about calls that were, and weren't made.
"We can learn a lot from this. We learned a lot about our offense (Sunday). When the game is on the line they can go out and get it done," said team co-captain Vonnie Holliday. "Defensively we learned that you've got to make the plays on the two-minute drive to get off the field. We had our opportunities to get our hands on some balls and we missed it. From the defensive line's standpoint we have to put more pressure on the quarterback.
"When we go back and watch the film we'll learn a lot from this. This is a very disappointing loss for us. A missed opportunity. We'll learn from this. But it's not the end of the season for us."
RB Patrick Cobbs – Just last week I was grilling coach Tony Sparano on Patrick Cobbs role in the Wildcats. It simply didn't make sense to me because Cobbs, a small tailback, was being used as a blocker in a spot where a tight end or big receiver might be a better suited. He'd done nothing but block in the Wildcat at that point. Wouldn't you know the Dolphins were setting up a big play, a flea flicker that was finally executed with Cobbs against the Texans. It resulted in a 53 yard touchdown where Cobbs was wide open. He also turned a screen pass into an 80-yard touchdown thanks to a seal block from Jake Long and down-field blocks from Anthony Fasano and Brandon London.
ILB Channing Crowder – All of Dolphins nation has been waiting for a game that featured Crowder making a dozen or more tackles, with the hope that a couple were impact plays. Crowder finally delivered one, recording 13 tackles against the Texans and breaking up two passes. Not only was this former Gator all over the field, but he returned to the game after suffering a shoulder injury and finished strong. Crowder did move from between the tackles on Matt Schaub's game-winning touchdown run, but he played the play the way his coaches designed. Yeremiah Bell was calling for help because he had to cover two receivers, one of which was Johnson. Now the question is: Was Crowder's week 6 performance an aberration, or is this the start of something special that will earn the upcoming free agent a respectable new deal? We shall learn that in week 7 when he is put in charge of stopping a Cam Cameron led offense. Crowder's former coach knows his strengths and weaknesses and will probably design a game-plan around him.
OLB Joey Porter – Porter doesn't show up on every series during games, but when he does it's usually an impact play. Not only did he sack Schaub once, but he was also credited with five quarterback hurries. Two of them rushed Schaub into throwing the two interceptions he had. What's most impressive about Porter is he doesn't produce his sacks with fancy footwork or hand-play like Jason Taylor did. His sacks are straight gangsta effort plays. No trickery, no dancing. He just forces his way off the block and gets to his man. He's also a straight talker who could care less about the consequences if he FEELS he is in the right on an issue. As a straight talker myself I respect that. I haven't seen the controversial play he's been critical of, and would love your objective take on it. It will be interesting to see if Porter gets a Pro Bowl invite at the end of this season. His sack numbers (6.5) in five games certainly warrants it so far. But Porter's more focused on making the Dolphins a winner. While others might be the captain, Porter is clearly this defense's leader.
FS Renaldo Hill – His insertion into the starting free safety spot allowed the secondary to improve their level of communication, which helped the group play better. That is until Sunday, when Johnson abused the Dolphins for a career-high 178 yards and one touchdown off 10 catches. Schaub threw for 379 yards, but did have two picks. However, none of them were produced by Hill. Not only did Hill drop a game changing interception, but he also missed at least three tackles on plays that were good for respectable, if not big gains. Hill, who did record nine tackles, but needs to spend some time catching balls from the jugs machine to improve his hand.
RT Vernon Carey – This one is a head-scratcher. What was it about Carey, a four-year starter, that made the Texans decide to put Mario Williams up against him the majority of time and not rookie left tackle Jake Long. While that coaching strategy is a compliment to Long, it was a slap in the face to Carey, an impending free agent. Williams didn't dominate Carey, but he record two sacks. At least one is credited to Carey. Also, running behind the right side of the Dolphins unbalanced line wasn't effective, which shouldn't be the norm for a bulldozing right tackle like Carey.
WR Ted Ginn Jr. – Is it just me, or are you also waiting for Ginn, the 2007 first-round pick to catch a ball, shake his first tackler, and turn on those afterburners to gain 20 or 30 extra yards on the run-after-catch. The Dolphins keep throwing those quick outs to Ginn at the line of scrimmage and he keeps producing little from them. Against Houston that play was good for a negative yards. And that's about all he contributed. At this point I'd rather see that pass thrown to Davone Bess. I fully understand having Chad Pennington as his quarterback all but eliminates the best route he runs, which is a streak upfield. But I'd give Ginn a little more credit if he was actually getting open on a regular basis. He's not. Maybe its time for the Dolphins to explore the alternatives opposite Mr. QB friendly Greg Camarillo. Can Derek Hagan or Brandon London provide more? If his productivity continues to be minimal in the next two games it might be time to investigate, and possibly invest in some of the other wideouts. However, it is still too early to declare Ginn a bust. His skillset – speed and good hands – says he should be a decent NFL receiver, at the least. However, I'm not sure the Dolphins have been getting decent for its most athletically gifted receiver.
So, which players improved their stock in your eyes, and which hurt the team against the Texans?

Colin Currie, left, performs at a recent concert.
Andrew Norman wants you to tell him what you think of his new percussion concerto to be performed by Colin Currie and the Utah Symphony—even if it means getting a rotten tomato in the kisser.
"I'll wear a cheap suit," the Brooklyn, N.Y.-based composer says.
He's half joking, of course. Throwing groceries at Abravanel Hall is discouraged. Still, the idea intrigues Norman. "I'm going out on a limb and I want people to engage with the work. I prefer a strong result either way. If you hate contemporary music, you should come and let me know."
Norman is often "accosted" after performances of so-called new music by traditional classical music lovers. "They've been forced to regularly sit through contemporary music over the decades and they've built up a lot of animosity that they unleash on me," he says. "It's asking a lot of an audience to suspend their judgements until the end of a performance."
They could walk out en masse, he admits, briefly flashing on Stravinsky's Rite of Spring riot. "I would love to incite such fervor in a crowd—one way or another."
At the writing this article, Norman's concerto was embryonic. The composer was trying out ideas on his percussionist friends' vibraphones, marimbas and even on tin cans and flower pots–sounds he plans to incorporate in the work. (Put down that tomato!)
It's his first attempt at a percussion concerto and the 35-year-old admits he's anxious. "What I find tricky about being a young orchestral composer is that my voice is constantly changing," he says. "It's tricky to be putting my work out there. There's an expectation of greatness and polish in what you are putting in front of experienced musicians."
Norman met Currie, a 37-year-old Scot based in London, who won a 2010 Grammy for his recording of Jennifer Higdon's Percussion Concerto, several years ago in Salt Lake City and the two artists bonded as they grew into the closest thing to contemporary music rock stars.
Currie is drawn to Norman's "exuberant" compositions. "He uses colors [timbre] very well and combines sounds exotically," Currie explains. "The sounds that I make on their own can sound rather crude. But the way Andrew writes for instruments, he is able to change the texture very readily with different combinations of instruments."
For a younger generation intimidated by symphony institutions, Currie, who is also skilled on a drum kit, says percussion performances welcome a new audience. "It has a mass appeal—it is very easily absorbed. There is something inclusive about this set of instruments. It's very, very enjoyable live to hear a good percussion performance in the flesh—a recording won't compare."
Norman is drawn to Currie's commitment to "sound in a pure way." "It's very physical and exciting to see musicians making these kinds of sounds. We think of people whacking away at drums, but it can be incredibly subtle, too."
Part of that primordial, visceral aspect of percussion means Currie, too, is willing to risk thrown fruit: "I try to bring the audience close, rather than push them away. I want them to feel part of the action."

More Than What You Think Of A Laptop Battery
by Tom Morris
More Than What You Think Of A Laptop Battery
How laptop batteries interrelate with the computer to function properly absolutely is a lengthy process as well as manufacturing alone a laptop battery is even worst long indeed. Laptop companies are also working continuously to improve and develop such functions of laptop battery technology.
The procedures used to bring in about laptop batteries involves a system of tests and re-tests to guarantee safety and consistency. There are an amount of components besides the battery that makes it work. There are safety fuses, breakers, thermistor, and charge electronics which all aids and gives support in the functionality of laptop batteries which you can magnificently seen inside the casing. The battery pack casing is welded together in a detailed method and is then sent on for final check up. Different tests are documented for form, fit and function during final inspection. Once the battery passes the test, it is now labeled with a lot and date code.
The thermistor controls the resistance of the battery and informs the computer to stop charging when the battery heats up as it completes charging. Moreover, the circuit breaker facilitates and helps protect against danger and hazards caused by over charging and short circuits.
Laptop batteries are built with the finest quality battery components that can be found for suitability. Battery cells are ensured to yield the highest capacity and safety qualifications, whether the battery cell is NiHM, or Li-Ion. Some batteries are even equipped with their own microprocessor that communicates important charge information to the computer. Sequential knowledge about laptop batteries certainly helps you a lot for a more effective, efficient, and comfortable usage of your laptop. Now you won't just see simple and non-refundable box-shaped thing when choosing a laptop battery, but rather a "tiny-tony" that helps your laptop to run reliably and effectively.
Absolutely laptop batteries are the most complicated and regulated of all rechargeable batteries, but one thing's for sure, they are the most important battery in the field of rechargeable batteries!

Please don't faint, but I've managed to continue a new series for the second week in a row (cue slow clap). So much to share today! Everything above (Rifle Paper for iPhone! Floral baseball caps!) + lots more exciting, fun things for you below.
Due for an upgrade but holding onto my little iPhone until March when these beautiful covers from Rifle Paper are released. No details on exactly when or where but I'll keep you posted if I hear.
A floral baseball cap! I've never been a baseball cap kinda gal until now.
Have you heard of Manifesto? This red sweatshirt is theirs and each month they make a different piece of clothing with one word on it: a written statement declaring intentions, motives or views. I love this one for February and I can't wait to see what they make each month.
Maple Blueberry Soda…I'll take mine with a splash of gin!
So into these cut out suede loafers. I might have to get myself some. Perfect for spring.
My friends at Loot had their warehouse party last night and it was such a hit! Remember the invite I made for them? These are their plates, above, and there were stacks and stacks of them in their gorgeous warehouse…curtains of lace, a room full of gorgeous reupholstered vintage couches and chairs, handmade cocktails, incredible flowers, flickering candlelight…it was a real treat to go and see so many friends there.
Have you seen the crazy Anthropologie sale happening right now? There were a few things I've had bookmarked that I couldn't pass up: rose pink jeans, this perfect beaded folky top (only a few left!) and a good midi skirt…I love the way they styled it in that photo. Can't wait to get these goodies in the mail!
Love these weird paintings (or photos?) by Lee Price of herself eating ice cream, cake and cereal in her bath tub. For some reason they're really sweet to me even though they're kind of odd.
I hope you have a fun weekend planned! I've got a couple of shoots on Sunday but other than that I'll be taking it real easy. xo!

The beautiful, gracious, classy Kassie DePaiva is headed to Salem in the role of Eve Donovan. She will be a welcome sight especially since we miss her so much as Blair Cramer on One Life To Live.
This wonderful lady has taken to her website to inform everyone of her arrival in Salem She does it in such a lovely way I wanted to share it with her fans and those who will be very soon.
"(January 26, 2014) Well, I'm sure you have heard the news by now… I am headed to NBC… The wonderful "Days of Our Lives" soap opera!!! This year Days will be celebrating its 50th year on network television and I am thrilled to be a part of it. And now that it is official I can shout it from the mountain tops! I got the call ironically in December on the 20th anniversary of my debut as Blair Cramer on ABC's "One Life to Live".
And as sad as it is to say goodbye or put Blair on hold... I'm equally as happy to say hello to Eve Donovan. She seems to have a very rich history in Salem with many family members to surround her. I look forward to discovering the character as well as the town. I wish the gloriously beautiful and talented Charlotte Ross great success as she starts her new adventure on ABC's "Nashville". I know she is greatly loved by the Days audience and I have very big shoes to fill. I promise to do my best to live up to everyone's expectations. So all you "One Life to Live" watchers...it's time to start watching "Days of Our Lives" now. You will be caught up and ready to really invest in Salem by the time I start airing this summer.
Needless to say… I am a huge soap fan. I love the genre and couldn't be happier to be back in the mix. Thank you all for all your lovely comments and tweets. I look forward to the coming year with great anticipation. I start working on set very soon and will keep you posted!!!
Until next time… Kassie"
May I reiterate classy, lovely, wonderful Ms DePaiva. Welcome to Salem!

Commercial Space Transportation:
Industry Trends and Key Issues Affecting Federal Oversight and International Competitiveness
GAO-11-629T: Published: May 5, 2011. Publicly Released: May 5, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4803
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since GAO reported on the commercial space launch industry in 2006 and 2009, the industry has evolved and moved further toward space tourism. Commercial space tourism promises to make human space travel available to the public for the first time. In addition, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to use private companies to transport cargo, and eventually personnel, to the International Space Station after NASA retires the space shuttle later in 2011. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversees the safety of commercial space launches, licensing and monitoring the safety of such launches and of commercial spaceports (sites for launching spacecraft), and promotes the industry. This testimony addresses (1) recent industry trends, (2) FAA's related budget request for fiscal year 2012, and (3) challenges that FAA and industry faces. This statement is based on GAO's October 2006 report and December 2009 testimony on commercial space launches, updated with information GAO gathered from FAA and industry experts in April and May 2011 on industry trends and recent FAA and NASA actions. In past work, GAO recommended that FAA take several actions to improve its oversight of commercial space launches, including assessing its future resource needs. FAA has taken some steps to address the recommendations.
Historically, the commercial space launch industry focused primarily on putting payloads, such as satellites, into orbit, using launch vehicles that did not return to earth. Such launches have dropped off, and the industry is increasing its focus on space tourism. Five manned commercial flights took place in 2004, demonstrating the feasibility of commercial space tourism. Since then, companies have pursued research and development and are further developing vehicles for manned flights. Concurrently, companies and states are developing additional spaceports to accommodate anticipated commercial space tourism flights. States have provided economic incentives for development, and FAA has helped to support infrastructure development. FAA also anticipates an increase in commercial launches, which it expects will increase its oversight responsibilities; thus the agency has requested significantly more resources. FAA will become responsible in the near term for the licensing and oversight of the commercial transport of NASA cargo and eventually for the licensing and oversight of space tourism flights and for safety regulations for all human commercial space travel. Anticipating an increase in responsibilities, FAA's fiscal year 2012 budget request would increase spending on commercial space transportation by nearly 75 percent from about $15 million in actual obligations in fiscal year 2010 to about $26.6 million in fiscal year 2012. This would fund an increase of about 45 percent in staffing. GAO agrees that FAA's workload is likely to increase but also believes there are uncertainties about how fast the demands on FAA's resources will grow. In overseeing the commercial space launch industry, including the safety of space tourism, FAA faces several challenges. These include determining whether its current safety regulations are appropriate for all types of commercial space vehicles, operations, and launch sites; continuing to avoid conflicts between its dual role as safety regulator and industry promoter; and addressing policy and procedural issues when it integrates the operations of spacecraft into its next generation air transportation system. The industry faces competitive issues such as high launch costs that affect its ability to sell its services abroad. Finally, coordinating the federal response to the commercial space industry's expansion is an issue for the federal government in the absence of a national space launch strategy for setting priorities and establishing federal roles.

The New Orleans Saints have re-signed wide receiver Robert Meachem to a one-year deal, the team announced Tuesday afternoon.
It's not clear who will be released to make room for Meachem, who was released by the San Diego Chargers this past weekend after one disappointing season in San Diego.
It's also not immediately clear what role Meachem will play with the Saints now that young backup receivers Kenny Stills and Nick Toon have emerged as players who look ready to make an impact. But it makes perfect sense for the Saints to at least try and recapture the chemistry that existed when Meachem was a part of their offense from 2007-11.
My guess is they won't try to force him into the mix right away -- as long as their top four receivers stay healthy. But the Saints know they can depend on Meachem if they need a replacement at some point. And in the meantime, if he starts to regain his prime form, then maybe he'll force their hand.
If he doesn't, then they won't be risking much by bringing him in for a look, similar to veterans Steve Breaston and Patrick Crayton this summer. The downside is that someone will have to be released to make room for Meachem on the 53-man roster.
Meachem, 28, thrived as a situational deep threat in the Saints' potent offense, having his best season in 2009 when the Saints won the Super Bowl. His potential led him to signing a hefty free-agent deal in San Diego last year, when the Chargers hoped he might emerge as a full-time starter. Instead, Meachem flamed out with just 14 reception for 207 yards and two touchdowns.
Clearly, the Chargers didn't feel like things would work out any better this year after Meachem struggled again to produce in the preseason. So they released him despite the fact that they still owe him $5 million in guaranteed salary.
There were reports out of San Diego that Meachem had regressed physically and that his effort waned at times this preseason.
But clearly the Saints feel like Meachem could still have value -- and maybe he just needs to find the right fit.
I'm sure Meachem will be energized by the reunion. I spoke with him this summer while he was in New Orleans, where he still keeps his offseason home base and trains with local trainer Wyatt Harris at the Sonic Boom strength and conditioning facility in Jefferson. Meachem talked about wanting to try and get back to having fun and playing football this year, rather than trying to be something he's not. In New Orleans, he should be able to return to that comfort zone.**************

Can I take a moment to mourn the death of Alexander McQueen?
(Sorry, btw, that this seems to be turning into a fashion blog lately! I tend to get obsessed with random things for periods of time, and right now this is it. I promise non-design stuff soon!)
His Spring 2010 ready to wear collection blew my mind. The idea was, to quote style.com,
"an apocalyptic forecast of the future ecological meltdown of the world: Humankind is made up of creatures that evolved from the sea, and we may be heading back to an underwater future as the ice cap dissolves."
The more reptilian side of the collection didn't appeal to me much, but the sea side...
The hair and makeup had me totally convinced that these guys live in the depths of the sea.
The Little Mermaid WISHES she had these shoes!
And THESE are my new obsession:
My heart still belongs to the Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2008 triple lace boots, but if these found their way into my life, I think we could be very happy together. I wonder how tall those would make me?
I got so excited scrolling through the pictures of this collection that I momentarily forgot WHY I was digging up picture for this post. I found myself excited to see what would come next, but of course, there is no next. Sadness.
Check out past Alexander McQueen collections here. And then slip into a pair of shoes that look like bedazzled armadillos to mourn.

Ideas & Trends; Detroit and California Rev Their Engines Over Emissions
By DANNY HAKIM
Published: July 28, 2002
DETROIT— IF Detroit and California ever made a sitcom together, it would be sort of like ''Dharma and Greg.''
Detroit, the strait-laced company town, just can't figure out that wacky California. Is it the nation's biggest car market, or is it the most troublesome? Is it the land of Ronald Reagan and Lee Iacocca, or of tree hugging hippies who want every car to be electric?
Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger lives there, and he drove a Hummer before anybody else. But another resident is Gray Davis, the Democratic governor of California, who signed a controversial bill on Monday to cut greenhouse gas emissions. That, needless to say, could mean fewer Hummers.
''There's more than a little concern among the car companies about how bad the relationship with California has gotten,'' one industry executive said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
''There needs to be a stand-down, but the more we want to talk, the more radical and out of control they get,'' he added. ''You'd almost like to see a white knight come in here and arbitrate.''
The state's new legislation, which will almost certainly be challenged in court, would sharply cut emissions of carbon dioxide, mostly by imposing new, yet-to-be-determined regulations on cars and trucks sold in the state by the 2008 model year. It is only the latest challenge the industry faces from California, which has regularly been aggressive in setting air-quality standards. The state has set tougher rules on emissions of smog-forming pollutants than the federal government.
The industry's view of California was summed up last week in an editorial cartoon in The Detroit News. A middle-aged couple stand in their driveway, next to their sedan. They are looking quizzically at their neighbor, Mr. Jones, who is riding a galloping horse out of his garage, briefcase in hand.
The Joneses, the cartoon's caption read, ''say their new, state-of-the-art low-emission vehicle meets California's C02 emissions rules.''
By signing the bill, Mr. Davis put his state squarely at odds with Washington. The Bush administration has pulled the United States out of the Kyoto Protocol, a global agreement on regulating greenhouse-gas emissions. And in March, the Senate handily defeated a bill that would have significantly raised gasoline mileage requirements for the first time since the 1980's. Tailpipe emissions from cars driven in the United States constitute the world's fifth-leading source of greenhouse gas, according to the Sierra Club. The nation as a whole is the top producer of such emissions.
REPEATED defeats on Capitol Hill have made California an appealing alternative battleground for frustrated environmental groups and politicians. Senators John McCain and John F. Kerry, who led a failed Senate effort to raise fuel standards, sent a joint letter to California legislators encouraging them to consider the bill. ''Big money and the special interests went to the mat to stop us,'' Mr. Kerry said earlier this month. ''I'm just glad to see they weren't able to smother a real dialogue in California.''
Republican leaders, and influential Midwestern Democrats like Representative John D. Dingell of Michigan, have long prevailed in their opposition to toughening federal gasoline mileage requirements. The industry's expected legal challenge to the new California legislation will likely argue that the state's authority to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from automobiles is superseded by the federal government's fuel economy regulations, because the two issues are closely correlated.
''We will see if CO2 is something different from fuel economy,'' Dieter Zetsche, chief executive of the Chrysler Group, said last Thursday.
''We are clearly aware of our responsibility and that of the industry to increase fuel economy,'' he added. ''We don't think it's the best approach to force the customer into a mix of vehicles that they wouldn't buy on their own.''
Companies like Chrysler have argued that California's regulations are already forcing them to produce small cars that consumers don't want and to develop costly and in some cases obsolete technologies. The most immediate threat is California's zero-emission vehicle mandate, which would force the industry to derive 10 percent of its sales from low- and zero-emission vehicles, like battery powered cars. The plan has been delayed by a legal challenge from General Motors and DaimlerChrysler.
Environmental groups counter that California's regulations have been the only real impetus to developing cleaner technologies like hybrid engines that use electricity and gasoline, or hydrogen fuel cells, a technology many automakers see as one day replacing the internal combustion engine.
Detroit, for its part, says it is giving customers what they want. All one has to do is look at the sales figures. Last year, for the first time, sales of passenger cars were overtaken by less fuel-efficient pickup trucks, S.U.V.'s and minivans.
While G.M. phases out Oldsmobile, the Hummer brand, based on the Humvee military transport, is rising in its place. This month, G.M. began selling the Hummer H2, a smaller vehicle that can fit in some garages. Still, at 8,600 pounds, it is so big it is not subject to the same fuel-economy rules that govern other cars. G.M. estimates the H2 gets about 13 miles per gallon, which would put one H2's carbon emissions at 3.4 metric tons in a typical year, compared to 1.9 tons from G.M.'s Chevrolet Malibu sedan.
A recent magazine advertisement showed the imposing grill of the Hummer looming over an arid, treeless landscape under a pale sun.
''Hummer,'' the ads copy reads. ''Like nothing else.''

Alpine + Jed Kurzel Talk 2011
While not exactly alike musically, Melbourne six-piece Alpine and The Mess Hall's Jed Kurzel had something in common in 2011 – they had some very good times. While Alpine toured their pants off + found new fans the world over, Jed was busy winning praise and awards for his first foray into film composition with his soundtrack to Snowtown. We asked them for their highlights of the year and discovered that Alpine are averse to snow-capped mountains while Jed has a thing for films with single word titles.
2011 was the year that we got to do huge, awesome tours with really cool people, and visit a bunch of places we've never been. We thought about what we enjoyed most this year, and there's one thing that we all enjoyed equally…
Alpine's 'Top Outdoor Swimming Experiences On Tours' Of 2011
1. Newcastle Sea Baths, on tour with Jinja Safari
We got to Newcastle way early for our show and made a beeline for the beach. We had ice creams and then took over the kid's pool on the beachfront. For hours.
2. A beach in Perth, on tour with Sparkadia and Operator please
Ryan cut his leg and there was a neo-Nazi in the water, but the sand was awesome.
3. Wet & Wild Swimming Park, Gold Coast, on the same Sparkadia tour
Phil went insane and ran around like a kid, and we ate overpriced chips. We stayed until they kicked us out, and then we were aching and sore, so we hit the…
4. Gold Coast hotel spa bath, same Sparkadia tour
We snuck in beers and a ball and then ate Thai food and fell asleep. Busy day.
5. Coogee beach sea pool – On tour with The Jezabels and Hey Rosetta
On a super hot Sydney day before a show at the Enmore, Christian, Ryan and our tour manager / enabler Clint snuck off to the sea pools. It was FREEZING.
HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Bribie Island, on the way back from Splendour In The Grass. We didn't swim here, but the water looked beautiful and we had an awesome breakfast. Kind of counts.

Thank you for all your thoughtful comments on yesterday's post! Learning your trophy philosophy is really interesting! If you haven't read the post, be sure to check it out and read the comments too. John really put a lot of thought into the post and is working on replying to the comments!
Today though, we have a lighter topic to discuss – my new glasses! I had a great LensCrafters experince with preparing for AccuFit and my AccuFit experience, so today it's all about the end result.
As you can see, I went from half rimless cat-like glasses to a full rimmed squarer frame. I really like them!!
What do you think?
The AccuFit experience was really interesting in terms of learning about the technology and why the digital measurement system is superior to manual measuring. I would definitely recommend trying it out for yourself! (I was not required to say that – I just really think that!) Plus, all the employees I encountered at my LensCrafters location were friendly and helpful.
Ohh, I didn't even tell you. LensCrafters have labs where they make the glasses right there! They cut the glass for the lenses and viola! The glasses are usually completed in an hour, but I came back the next day to pick mine up since I came in close to closing time. This actually gave me the opportunity to meet the store manager, who had heard about "the blogger." Karen was a delight!
Today's post wraps up my campaign with LensCrafters, so I hope you enjoyed learning about them as much as I did!
Let me know if you like my new glasses!!
LensCrafters offers a clearly different optical experience by helping you find your perfect pair of eyeglasses. AccuFit Digital Measurement System allows for five times more precise digital measurements than tradition, manual methods for crisper, clearer vision.

We've all seen that ads strewn across the web that tout the ability to increase the speed of our computer by 200%+. Obviously, these don't work. But what is the real way to speed up and optimize your computer? What program(s) actually work?
Putting Linux-evangelism aside, reinstalling Windows helps but it's not for the faint of heart. Windows is known to become bogged down by many small installations and incomplete uninstallations.
CCleaner as mentioned helps, but sometimes you've got to use tougher means. For mom's pc, CCleaner is certainly fine. For my own pc, reinstalling is better.
I have made a disk image of my newly installed Windows + favorite apps, so it's a matter of 30 minutes to get back up and running (after making proper data backups).
The real answer is: "it depends on what's slowing you down". If the bottleneck is, for instance, RAM, then more RAM (or running fewer programs) is the answer. If the problem is slow web browsing because your system is infested with 27 different spyware programs, a good malware remover might help, and reinstalling might be required. Can you say what exactly seems slow to you?
CCleaner works as advertized.
You may have many startup processes and services which are not required using up RAM.
To disable startup processes:
To disable services:
Depends on where you are starting from really, but doubling the recommended amount of RAM for a Windows install is always a good place to begin.
However, that's not software as you specified. The Register is currently on part two of a 3-part look at tune-up apps, looking at Win XP, Vista and Win 7 (still to come).
Registry and temporary files cleanup is next to useless, unless the registry is really in a bad shape (quite unlikely).
The only real improvement you can do, which is also quite marginal, is to defragment your hard disk. See this article for a discussion of the merits of several free defragmenters:
Please be warned that defragmenting the hard disk can, although rare, result in destroying the disk. So think first of backups and having a recovery boot cd. Most times, the very small gain in performance is not worth the risk of losing so much of your personal time restoring a destroyed disk.
Along with CCleaner I use Defraggler once a week, also while i was using Windows Xp increasing the virtual memory and turning down the graphical effects showed a significant increase in speed.
Also don't forget to include the temp folder to CCleaner as that is not included in the default options and its needs to be added from options -> include and then simply write the folder path
The best way to optimize your computer:

Samsung Galaxy 5 (aka 550, Europa, Corby), Samsung's Froyo version (so, Touchwiz. Launcher is ADW Launcher (non-EX).
My notifications (the things in the list when you pull down the notification bar, if that's the proper terminology I have no idea) are all black on dark gray, and I'd like to change it. I don't know if it's even possible w/o hackery.
Phone is rooted, upgrade to CM7 or higher is "planned" (for some time now :D). So, if it's possible to make the notifications more readable there, that would be a solution.
The only readable notification is black on white (or blue on white, not sure), and it's from TaskXP. So the colors seem not to be hardcoded.
And as always, a RTFM is welcome. When it includes pointers to where in the FM the info is.

Central Banks: The Video Game?
It is, we suppose, inevitable.
First a DVD arrived the mail from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, "The Federal Reserve and You," a video primarily produced for high school students but which the Fed hopes has appeal for others genuinely puzzled by what the heck the Fed does anyhow. Two young on-screen hosts walk the video through eight chapters beginning with "what is a central bank" and ending with a video interview of Ben Bernanke. It can be downloaded at www.philadelphiafed.org/the-federal-reserve-and-you/ or watched in bite-sized chunks. Any takers for 56 seconds on interest on reserves? (And, no, it won't please Ron Paul and the "End the Fed" crowd.)
Then came word from the European Central Bank that it has posted an educational game called "Top Floor — Make your way up," aimed, it says, at 18- to 25-year-olds. An interactive quiz set in the ECB building, players make their way up in the elevators by correctly answering questions about the institutional framework and tasks of the ECB, collecting briefing documents for each correct answer. It's actually the third in a series of games produced by the ECB. The others are "€CONOMIA", in which players move interest rates to keep inflation low and stable and "Inflation Island," a look at people reacting to inflation and deflation. The games, which come in 22 languages, are all posted at http://www.ecb.int/ecb/educational/html/index.en.html.
For those clamoring for a U.S. experience, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco has a game that lets you be the Fed chairman. Play it at http://www.frbsf.org/education/activities/chairman/. But be warned: the game is from the precrisis era, where your only tool is the federal funds rate. There are no options for launching bond purchases after you drop rates to zero.

PEORIA, Ill. - Dallas Baptist pounded out 20 hits against Bradley's first five pitchers and cruised to a 16-7 victory in the final game of the regular-season Saturday afternoon at O'Brien Field.
With a repeat trip to the NCAA Regionals in sight, the Patriots (39-17) scored in each of the game's first eight innings, but did not truly break the game open until pushing across five runs in the eighth. While DBU must wait a week for the NCAA Tournament selections to be announced, Bradley (26-25-1) will play for an automatic bid to the regionals when the Braves open the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Tournament as the No. 7 seed Tuesday (7:30 p.m.) night against second-seeded and host Missouri State.
Bradley ended up using 20 players in Saturday's regular-season finale. Senior first baseman Jerrod Eigsti paced an 8-hit effort by going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs batted in. Fellow senior, rightfielder Andres Rodriguez, was 1-for-3 with a walk in his second start of the season and freshman Anthony Athens hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning in his first career plate appearance.
Seven different Dallas Baptist hitters collected multiple hits, while Austin Elkins (4-for-6), Joel Hutter (2-for-4) and Ryan Behmansesh (4-for-5) each drove in four runs. The offensive outburst was more than enough for Patriots starter Michael Smith, who improved to 4-1 by allowing two runs on five hits in 5.0 innings.

During the last MotoGP race of the season at Valencia, Alvaro Bautista debuted this very particular livery on his San Carlo Gresini Honda.
The fairing was full of messages from fans who took part in an initiative organized by Gresini's now ex-sponsor San Carlo, called Super Message Sic, were partecipants could dedicate a brief SMS message to Marco and when they sent their text they also donated 2 euros to the Marco Simoncelli Foundation to help sustain their charity project of building a center for disabled children in Coriano.
One fairing will be on display at the Marco Simoncelli Museum, while the second side fairing is currently being auctioned on e-Bay with all proceeds from the winning bid going entirely to Marco Simoncelli Foundation.

The off-season at our coastal Delaware brewpub gives our kitchen a chance to get a little reckless. Case in point: the new lineup of monthly beer dinners.
When Dogfish founder Sam Calagione's little nephew Luke was asked to help name the family puppy, he pulled inspiration from his favorite food. "Let's name it Hot Thoup!" he said.
Step one is choosing craft beer. Step two is getting that beer into your glass to get the most out of it.

TC TO JWC ; 30 September 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590930-TC-JWC-01; CL 35: 222
Friday, 30 Septr, 1859
Thanks dear Goody for the word of writing; whh surely was better than none; tho' the news was not good, none wd have been abundantly alarming! It was handed in to me while in the act of dressing; thank you for it poor little hungry soul. Tomorrow Evg at the old-appointed hour, I shall be "so happy" to be set down beside my own poor Goody, on my own hearth again,—whether the "drugget" (oh you little fool, as if I depended on druggets) be completely fixed in its place or only half fixed!—
My reception here and all the attentions in regard to lodingroom1 tobacco liberty &c &c, have been perfect, nor did the least ill-luck to skin or luggage or the like befal me on the road;—only the Preston-Manchester Train chose to be "25 min. behind its time" in arriving at Manchester; by whh means I irretrievably missed the train for Alderley (preappointed train and best of the day), and had to hang about waiting for another, whh was one of the slowest I ever rode in withal. Of course the Stanley vehicle was gone, two hours before I could alight; I think it must have been towards 9 before I could get set down here. Whh was a great blow, taken all together! For I had not dined; and could not now dine, "two eggs" were my own contrivance, to whh Lady S.2 generously suggested a "basin of soup" as an addition (eaten witht the least feeling of wanting it or anything). In short, my program had fallen bankrupt; today is steady rain; and I considerably wish I had landed at Chelsea last night instead of here. Yet I have hitherto no cold, or other injury;—and tomorrow it will be over by a smooth train, in the cheerful part of the day.— Lady S. "never read in all her life" such an amusing &c Letter as you sent her from Haddington. 3 Good hospitable souls all are here;4 and the tolerance of Tobacco is extreme. / Adieu Dearest— T. C.
4, finally 5—Tomorrow Afternoon: that is the Comfortable outlook!

Head Coach R. Jones
On the defense
"We've been such a good defensive club all year, and today, too, but we made three errors. When you're fielding .980 (on the year), that's one of the reasons that we have had 38 wins, because we're so sound defensively. Of course, we were really good Wednesday night. But, today, we just did not play very well. We did not play well defensively, which is disappointing and surprising, but it happens. When you're fielding .980, sooner or later the odds are going to catch you. We didn't string together enough quality at bats, but you have to give credit to (UAB pitcher Chase Mallard), especially the way the game started. We just didn't pitch as well as we needed to in some spots. The bottom line is defensively, we had too many breakdowns."
On pitcher A. Reeves
"His mechanics weren't there today. That's why I went and got him early. When you have the depth in the bullpen that we have, and you're in this kind of situation, and you know you're only playing one more tomorrow, you go to the bullpen, and I thought Kyle (McKenzie) did an admiral job. But Andrew struggled with his command and that's something that, with the exception of one inning, he hasn't dealt with. He was struggling not only with his command, as far as balls and strikes, but he was struggling with hitting his sports in the strike zone."
Starting Pitcher A. Reeves
On his outing
"It was one of those days. I didn't have it. I felt good leading up to the game. But once I got out there, I had control issues. I didn't know where (the ball) was going. I couldn't get in a rhythm. It was tough. I was battling from behind what seemed like every hitter. It's tough to be successful where you keep getting behind in the count."
"It's a tough one to swallow because you look forward to it all week. You think you're ready to go and you're doing everything you possibly can to make sure you're ready to go. And to get out there and pitch that way, you wish you had an answer for it. I just didn't really know where it was going."

(NBC) - Tying the knot may help strengthen your heart!
A study of more than 3.5 million people found married people have lower rates of heart problems than those who are single, divorced, or widowed.
The researchers at N.Y.U. Langone Medical Center found the relationship between marriage and lower odds of vascular diseases is especially strong for people under age 50.
Experts say this isn't a reason to get married, but doctors who have unmarried patients may want to pay attention to other heart risk factors.

Testosterone Dosage
Posted 22 October 2011 - 06:55 AM
I just started testosterone about a week and a half ago and I am very, very happy to be moving forward. I went to a clinic that has experience with FTMs, but as I was looking over my prescription bottle last night, I started to wonder if I had been given the appropriate dosage. I have had two shots thus far. 1 mL of 200 mg/mL testosterone cypionate per WEEK. So, that means I am getting 200mg a week doesn't it? Isn't that a lot - especially to start out with?
Has anyone else out there been given this high a dose? The instructions on the bottle and that I was given at the clinic was definitely a shot of 1 mL per week - not bi-weekly. If this is too high, I can always cut back to 1 mL every two weeks or .5 mL a week. What would the difference be in terms of how I would likely feel? Are weekly shots better to keep the levels more even?
Just looking for some feedback. Thanks!

I don't know much about T but when in doubt, it might be wise to lower the amount. The lower dose will not cause harm but a higher dose that you are not ready for could be dangerous.
Get a second opinion from a reputable Endocrinologist as soon as possible.
Best to You,
Posted 24 October 2011 - 06:38 AM
I'm on 1/2 mL every two weeks, which is, from what I understand, a fairly common dosage level. So yes, your dosage level does sound like it's higher than the norm.
That doesn't mean it's the wrong dosage necessarily. If the clinic did bloodwork for you before they prescribed your hormones, they may have seen that your pre-existing tesosterone levels were lower than average, for example. You should go to the clinic and ask why you were prescribed the dosage that you were. If they don't give you a satisfactory answer, then definitely see if you can do as juniperblue suggested and seek a second opinion.
Also, weekly shots are often preferred over bimonthly shots because of the exact reason you cited--to help keep hormone levels even. But in such cases, the bimonthly dosage is simply halfed. So, if I were to take a weekly shot, I would take 1/4 mL every week, instead of 1/2 mL every two weeks.
Good luck!
Posted 24 October 2011 - 10:16 AM
Thanks guys for weighing in. I just talked with the clinic and they assure me this is the normal dose they prescribe for FTMs. But I have done a lot of research on the Internet over the past few days and can't find a dose this high listed anywhere as normal. I feel fine, but I don't want to do any injury to myself on a blood cell/liver enzyme level. I am trying to find someone to give me a second opinion, but I had a hard enough time finding this clinic to begin with. I am thinking about just halving the dose on my own. I have a follow-up appointment in about 4 weeks for bloodwork, so it will become clear then where my levels are and if the dosage is too much/just right.
Sigh. I wish it was easier to find information out there - there just haven't been enough studies done on this issue. And I hate that it is so difficult to find knowledgeable, experienced health care providers.
Anyway, thanks again for the input!

click at the bottom of the page for the document in Office. Also http://www.ftmguide....tandhealth.html and
Recommended testosterones and their dosages:
testosterone esters (transdermal, enanthate, Sustanon, cypionate)
200-250 mg/2 weeks intramuscular injection [1]
250-400 mg/2-3 weeks intramuscular injection [2]
Androgen treatment has an unfavorable effect on the lipid profile. Oral androgens such as mesterolone and fluoxymesterone are too weak for the induction of virilization.
Good luck

Thanks to everyone who has shared their thoughts and opinions on this! You have all backed up what I found in my own research.
Posted 25 October 2011 - 11:44 AM
As juniperblue said, a too-low dosage shouldn't harm you, though a too-high one could. Really, the main concern with a too-low dosage is that you won't see the physical masculinization that you'd like. That happened with me. I started very conservatively--because I wanted to do so, not because my doctor made me--and my doctor ended up increasing my dosage as time went on.

What does your endocrinologist think about natural Aromatase inhibitors like Indol 3 Carbinol ( from Broccoli and other cruciferous veggies) , Chrysin ( from Passion Flower) and Camomile? People with high levels of Aromatase will convert excess T to Estrogen. Body builders have used aromatse inhibitors for years and I use them to reduce my risk of estrogenic cancers ( crappy genetics) . I wrote a little more about this on the Health and Fitness Topic under Natural T boosters and Estrogen Reducers.
Good Luck,

I am not sure if the natural supplements will be strong enough to help someone taking T. It sounds like they may not be and that they may not be appropriate for most transmen (anyway.).
I am not taking a high enough amount (of any of the three) that I mentioned to feel a concern for negative side effects. I can't really tell if they are doing much but I am hoping that at least the Indole 3 Carbinol is binding excess estrogen. I have a library of herbal books but they are limited in what they say ... probably for liability reasons.
The Chrysin I take every other day and the Chamomile I take on the days that I don't take Chrysin. They are both mildly calming so I take them late at night. It is frustrating that there are few medical studies on over-the-counter herbs. Because there is so little solid information, I take herbal remedies with caution and I always advise others to ask their Doctors first before trying anything. I guess a Naturopath would be the way to go but I can't afford another private Doctor and I don't know of a good one anyway. Sigh.

After my original post, I dropped my dosage down to 100 mg a week - half of what I was prescribed when I began testosterone on 10/12/11. After four weeks at 100 mg, I went in for a blood test to see where my levels were. I was close to the end of my dosing cycle - just 2 days from my next shot. My T level was 1428. Pretty high. I am dropping back to about 65 mg a week now and will have my blood tested again in another 4 weeks. I'm certainly glad I had cut the original dosage in half! Otherwise, I might be turning green and ripping everything but some purple boxers off...
I know that short term the high levels won't hurt me, but I certainly want to get everything dialed in for the right dosage to achieve normal, healthy, stable levels. The good thing is that I have been feeling really good. I didn't have any bad side effects or anything. All jokes about the Hulk aside, I haven't even had any real mood swings or anything like that. I generally feel strong, healthy and calm. All my other bloodwork was normal.
I have to say though that I don't really feel like I am getting great medical care. I feel like I know more than my practitioner. I also feel in general that there isn't a lot of good information out there. When I try to research issues related to testosterone for FTMs, there is such scattershot info that I feel like there is no good, reliable source to turn to. A lot of that is because no one seems to really be researching and compiling that information. To some degree, I feel like we are guinea pigs.
I guess I am throwing this out there and sharing my info because I think it could be a really helpful thing for us to share the knowledge and experience we have with testosterone dosage with one another. I know that everyone's body and biochemistry is different. Different dosages are going to affect different people in different ways. I get that. But maybe if we share all the specific information we have with one another, we can start to build a body of empirical data that may be helpful in some way. Just an idea. Born out of frustration with finding the information I was looking for to help me figure out what to do when my medical provider seemed clueless.
Thanks again to everyone who posted and shared their thoughts about my situation. Hope you all have very happy holidays!!
Posted 08 December 2011 - 10:07 PM
Great to hear that you were intuitive and listened to your body on this one. I have been managing a rare endocrine disorder and my medical care has been pretty crappy because so few Doctors have any experience with my condition. I have limited financial resources to pay out of pocket for specialists and I am often shocked by how little the Doctor's seem to know. From this I have learned that it is always good to be vigilant. Do do all that you can to be as well informed as possible. Write all of your questions out before your appointment and share research that you find if it seems relevant and from a reputable medical journal or other credible publication. Consider taking an ally in with you when you see your Doctor as well. it is good to have someone there to take notes. In my experience, my care is often better when I have an ally with me.
Thanks for starting this post .. It may help a lot of guys, especially those who are just getting started on T.
Best to You,

Leather craftsman Marc Marmel stumbled into the handbag trade by accident. While patiently waiting for his luggage to come around an airport conveyor belt in Nice, he noticed that his fellow passengers' luxury carryalls tossed and turned with discarded abandon. Rather than logo-emblazoned bags without durability or distinctive character, Marmel yearned for that bygone era when each scruff, scratch or tear on a piece of baggage had a story of its own, when travel was as much about the journey as the destination itself.
Combining high-end design with individuality and utility, Marmel's bags evoke the extravagance of 19th and 20th century leather staples as well as the look and feel of something passed down from your grandmother's attic. With custom-made Italian cracked leather and vibrant silk patterned brocade linings, each bag is defined by both its unique authenticity and sophisticated flair. Of this contrasting approach, Marmel explains: "I see my aesthetic symbolically like an oyster: an antiqued and textured exterior with a pearl of an interior."
Since launching in 2005 at Bergdorf Goodman New York and Maxfield LA, Marmel's collection has evolved from six basic original designs to a full line of luggage, handbags, iPads cases, wallets and accessories. The most recent addition to this cracked leather family is a long-awaited rolling bag, but Marmel is already thinking about everything from photo albums and picture frames to coin and cuff collectors and paper trays. And he's already begun expanding into home décor.
Recently named Accessories Designer of the Year by Fashion Group International, Marmel's "talent, skill, commitment and fortitude" stood out over 100 other nominees to earn him the Rising Star Award. Hollywood has also taken a keen interest in his work as celebrities like Charlize Theron, David Beckham, Russell Brand and Reese Witherspoon eagerly pick up Marmel designs.
Unsurprisingly, this high-end line appeals to clients who don't rely on a logo as the symbol of their status, and who share the romantic ideals of Golden Era travel. The bags cater to both genders and encompass the discreet nuances of leisure and luxury alike, making each piece the lifestyle signature of its owner.

- Price: $9,700
- Official Site: EcoSmartFire.com
- Specs: Ethanol gas; 5L capacity; 11–hour burn time; 4 color options
- Company: The Fire Company Pty Ltd.
There really is no end in sight to the growth of green products, regardless of the market or genre. Environmentally aware gadgets seem to be all over the current marketplace. The latest product to receive the eco-friendly makeover is the traditional home fireplace, and spearheading this development is the aptly named EcoSmart Zeta, which uses a ground-breaking ethanol-based flame in an effort to save gas and wood reserves while giving you a guilt-free fire. The EcoSmart Zeta fireplace from the Australian-based company is an ultra-stylish and chic fire pit that gives you an extra aesthetic incentive to go green besides just preserving the future.
EcoSmart, or The Fire Company as they are also known, are the originators of the ethanol-based fireplace. The ethanol itself comes in a liquid form, and burns at a rate of about 0.15 gallons per hour, making it easy to keep track of when you need to refill. In addition, because it doesn't use wood, there is no harmful smoke, only water and CO2 vapors, so it is much safer than traditional models. The EcoSmart Zeta has taken these basic fundamentals and placed them inside an architectural masterpiece of a unit. Designed by John Dimopoulus, the director of Geoform, an Australian-based firm that is the first ever to specialize in EcoSmart fires, the Zeta sports a one-of-a-kind elliptical shape that would have been impossible to use with a normal fireplace. It looks almost like a curved laptop with a flame bursting out of the middle, and we mean that in a very good way.
The EcoSmart Zeta fireplace is built of only extremely high-grade materials, including timber, leather and stainless steel. The entire unit also sits on a polished stainless steel base that is fully portable, something that keeps this fireplace feeling fresh and original once you get tired of it in the same spot. The whole fire-facing surface of the EcoSmart Zeta has been fitted with a nearly invisible toughened glass screen, which is all the insulation protection that this device needs against the heat. The EcoSmart Zeta is available in four different color configurations, ranging from Nero to Ranch Hide, whatever that means. This particular unit is clearly the crown jewel of the EcoSmart line, pricing in at a starting point of $9,700, and that massive fee can climb even higher for custom high gloss or paint jobs. EcoSmart Zeta makes going green a very stylish option -- should you be able to afford it.
