IOWA CITY, Iowa -- It was a bittersweet goodbye for University of Iowa defensive backs coach Phil Parker when junior cornerback Amari Speivey was selected in the third round of the 2010 NFL draft, leaving big cleats to fill on the Hawkeye defense.
This is not the first time Parker has watched as one of his student-athletes marched out of Kinnick Stadium into the frontlines of the big leagues.
Entering his 23rd season as a Division I assistant football coach (11 years at Iowa, 10 at Toledo, and one at Michigan State), Parker carries an impressive resume, winning Big Ten titles and sending a total of 15 players to the NFL.
During Parker's tenure with the Hawkeyes, nine defensive backs have been drafted, and three have signed as free agents. At Toledo, two of his athletes were drafted, and one signed as a free agent.
Parker's troops have included a range of NFL notables such as strong safety Bob Sanders, who led the Indianapolis Colts to a Super Bowl victory in 2006 and was named the league's Defensive Player of the Year in 2007.
Working alongside Sanders, walk-on Sean Considine transformed into a starting safety under Parker's tutelage and helped lead the Hawkeyes to a Big Ten title during his senior season. Considine was then drafted in 2005 by the Philadelphia Eagles.
In 2008, Charles Godfrey was drafted in the third round to the Carolina Panthers, where he has been a consistent starter since his rookie season.
Other former Hawkeyes drafted during Parker's tenure include Matt Bowen, Derek Pagel, Antwan Allen, and Jovon Johnson.
Defensive coordinator Norm Parker (no relation to Phil) said much of his players' success both at Iowa and beyond can be attributed to Phil Parker and his experience playing defensive back at Michigan State University, where he earned first-team all-Big Ten honors from 1983-1985.
"Phil was an intent, hardworking player, and he demanded that everyone around him play hard. Now he demands that his players play hard. The players are a reflection of Phil."

"Phil was an intent, hardworking player, and he demanded that everyone around him play hard," Norm Parker said. "Now he demands that his players play hard. The players are a reflection of Phil."
And Phil Parker reflects professionalism.
From his example, athletes learn that if they ever hope to play professional ball, they must first act, dress, and perform professionally. Phil is no pushover when it comes to disciplining his men -- both on and off the field.
"I'm sure (coach Parker) could be a Marine if he wanted to," redshirt sophomore Jason White said with a laugh. "He always stresses little details, from things like footwork, to dress attire, to tucking your shirt in, to standing up straight -- really just looking professional at all times,"
Parker also makes sure to keep his involvement with his players professional -- they always know who the boss is.
"We have a coach-player relationship," junior Jordan Bernstine said. "He's not there to be our friend, but to help the team."
This includes building the Iowa squad by attracting strong recruits -- a feat made easier due to the Parker's reputation of producing NFL-caliber defensemen.
Parker said he cannot take all the credit, that his athletes come to Iowa with the instincts for being successful defensive players, and he builds on that.
"Guys that come here are smart players," Parker said. "They give a great effort, they're tough, and they develop into good players their third and fourth years. That's the way we run the program."
As an example, he noted how junior Tyler Sash and senior Brett Greenwood have reached a veteran-level of defensive knowledge, earning the pair starting safety positions this season.
"Sash and Greenwood can visually see a play develop over time, so they put themselves in the right spot," Parker said, comparing them to the Sanders-Considine duo. "Now they see it the way I see it, and it makes it a lot easier for us."
Still, Sash said his firm grasp of the game comes from his work with Parker -- noting he taught Sash everything from "basic football" to the "ins and outs" of the game.
With Sash's impressive performance during preseason and growing recognition throughout the league, he could be one of Parker's next men to see some NFL action.
After devoting nearly three decades to the sport, Parker said it's watching players such as Sash transform into high-caliber athletes that keeps his passion for football alive. He called it a "great honor" to watch his athletes get drafted, adding that he hopes they take what they learned at Iowa and apply it to their professional careers.
"My wife asks me all the time, `what do you do it for?'" Parker said. "It's the joy in seeing my kids succeed. Seeing a kid who comes here not even knowing how to back-peddle and watching him develop to win a Big Ten title or go to the NFL -- that's probably the best."

Why Annie Sorensen Quit Her Corporate Job And Thinks You Could Too
by Tim Jahn on August 17, 2010
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
I met Annie Sorensen at Big Omaha (which is an AMAZING entrepreneur conference happening in Omaha every May that I hope to see YOU at next year). We chatted briefly but I wasn't clear as to what it was she did for a living exactly. She seemed really cool though and I had a hunch she had an interesting story to tell. I kept running into her during Big Omaha and she was always laughing and smiling (it's only a 500 person conference, but in my eyes, that's one of the best parts).
After Big Omaha, I started following Annie on Twitter, but I still wasn't entirely sure what her deal was. So, I convinced her to let me interview her and find out. As I suspected, her story is pretty interesting.
Annie worked in a corporate job for the better part of a decade. She actually only left that corporate job about 6 months ago. But she knew all along that was going to happen. And it definitely wasn't something that happened overnight.
So why did she quit? And why does she think that you can too? Watch my video interview above with Annie to find out!
Annie Sorensen: My name is Annie Sorenson from AnnieSorensen.com.
Tim Jahn: I feel like a lot of creative entrepreneurs I talk with, usually have one, well one business at a time. But, usually have one thing they're working, it's a product, it's a service or whatever. But I feel like you dabble a lot like I do.
Annie Sorensen: My story in regards to what I work on is just like what you said. I'm very much a dabbler. I left my corporate job in January, at the end of January. and had just kind of in the evenings and the weekends for years prior to leave my corporate job just amongst my corporate cubicle life, I worked on just a bunch of different little projects; kind of things that would catch my eye, things that I thought were exciting, things that I thought were a great investment, worth my time; things like that.
So I think when I quit, I went full time entrepreneur in January/February of this year; it really was just the same thing. Just dabbling on whatever projects I wanted to work on that day, whatever projects I wanted to focus on that day. And instead of having to do them just in the evenings and the weekends, I was now able to do them all day long.
And so, I am very much a student of the lifestyle design of Tim Ferriss; a lot of Tim Ferriss. And that's really what I love to focus on. I'll wake up in the morning and say, "What projects today will make me the happiest? Which ones do I truly want to work on? Which ones fit with my passion?" And that's what I'll focus on for the day.
So, I am, yes, to answer your question, I am a dabbler. So I have a bunch of things. I have a network marketing business with a company called Vemma, which is kind of one of my main financial backings at the moment. I also have my blog, AnnieSorensen.com and recently launched a podcast on there about a month or so ago, so I'm looking for some sponsors in that area. It's all about books and my love of reading and my geekiness in that subject matter.
I do a little bit of consulting for social media really just for small businesses and like individual brands who really want some help just learning the very basics of social media; there's such a need there. So I do little bit of consulting. I do a tiny bit of like success coaching I suppose you could call it. So just helping folks whether they're launching a business or just wanting to improve their lives in some way, shape, or form; coaching them a little bit. So I dabble in those two areas as well.
Tim Jahn: You had it planned out the whole time in terms of you realized you reached your goals, you're okay, you know, your family situations okay, you're financially ready and then you just did it. So it was more of, like you said, from the beginning you knew you were going to leave but how did – I mean I imagine there were years before where you met your goals or you felt good. What made you all of a sudden – and that's the thing, I don't feel like for you it was all of a sudden. What made you leave then?
Annie Sorensen: You know, I think probably a year, a year and a half or so ago. I mean, the goal of going full time entrepreneur and leaving my corporate job was always something I wanted to do and was always something my husband and I knew I wanted to do. But I think it became a little more real a year, maybe a year and a half, maybe two years ago at the most when just some of our side entrepreneur projects really became a lot more successful from a financial standpoint. And then it became kind of a lot more real of, man, we could actually do this now. This might actually be a real possibility.
And so I think it was at that point, a year or two ago where we sat down and made real specific, actual plans. Instead of it being a far out some day, we might be able to retire, and go full time entrepreneur. When you have a couple of projects on the side that became financially supportive, it becomes a lot more real.
And so I think it was at that point that we really set in stone, okay, here are our plans. If we get this, and if we get that done and we do this and we do that, then we'll do it. And so I think it was that point that really kind of pushed us over the edge to moving it from a someday dream to a foreseeable future goal.
Tim Jahn: Do you have any one piece of advice for someone in a similar situation?
Annie Sorensen: Work hard. You know, there's so many people in the corporate world and even out that when I said, "I'm leaving my job" they said, "Oh, that must be nice or oh, you're so lucky." And I didn't really respond because there's no point.
But, for the most part, it was just overwhelming of if you'd worked practically every evening from six p.m. until ten p.m., and practically every weekend from eight a.m. to four or five p.m. for four, five, six years on outside ventures, maybe you too at this time would be able to quit your full time job and be totally comfortable and okay with it.
And so that was my overwhelming thing of, you can play World of Warcraft every night for five years, but I was working. And that was what I chose to do. That was completely my own decision. But that's just the message for people. You can have anything you want, and this goes along with my passion. You can accomplish anything you truly want if you just decide to, if you put one foot in front of the other and you simply decide to.
And that's kind of what part of my passion is, is just inspiring people. Its not luck – you know, there's always a little luck in business I guess. But, overwhelmingly, its not luck, its not, oh, it must be nice to be you. We created this situation for ourselves because we decided to take action and put the plan to place.
Tim Jahn: Yeah. I'm very much of that same mindset. The only thing I, the question I have is, I guess this is for Gary Vaynerchuck since this is where the idea comes from – I know you're a big fan. But, the idea of if you're working a corporate job, come home and work all night on whatever you need working on. What if you have a family?
Annie Sorensen: Yeah. Yeah. And I, I think its – everyone's situation is different. I think if you have a family, I think you could still put in two hours some evenings. You could still put in ten to 15 hours a week here and there throughout your day whether its for half an hour in the morning, whether its for 20 minutes over lunch, whether its for an hour in the evening or maybe just two hours on the weekends. I think you could still put in time every week to move forward towards your goals.
And I think that's the main point whether – and I didn't work every single night from five p.m. to ten p.m., I still had a life. I still valued my lifestyle in that regard. But I think the point of it is, everyone if they decide to, can prioritize sometime throughout the week whether its just a few hours or whether it's a several dozen hours to moving towards their goals.
And I think that no one regardless of their situation has any excuse for why they couldn't put at least a few minutes every week towards those goals. So you can just fit it in amongst your day to day.
Tim Jahn: That makes perfect sense. What keeps you going everyday? I mean, what drives to you wake up and choose projects to work on? Like what specifically?
Annie Sorensen: Oh man. That's a really good question Tim. Two things. When I see people that didn't think that they could have more in their life, so that maybe they didn't think they could be healthier or maybe they didn't think they could be a little more financial well off. Maybe they didn't think they could ever quit their job. When I see people do that because of something that I helped them accomplish, that's huge. So just following my passion is what really keeps me going.
The other thing too is just I have such a strong desire for that lifestyle freedom, that the time and financial freedom that I've always, always wanted ever since I was 18 or 19 years old. I want, you know, my husband and I don't have kids but we want a family someday. I want to be able to stay home with them, have both of us be able to be flexible with them.
It drives me to think of my husband and I taking our young kids on a trip around Europe for a few weeks in whatever time we want just because we decided to go and it would be educational. Or it drives me to be able to think of volunteering for 20 hours a week simply because I want to, I found a charity that struck my heart or you know, things like that.
I think, I always dream in real specific, little scenarios of what my time freedom and financial freedom in the future will continue to give me. So I'm a big, I have a lot of philanthropicals so those types of things. I obviously am very family oriented so those goals. And those are really what drive me day in and day out is dreaming about and imagining those lifestyle pieces as time goes on.

Shower Tile Mosaics
Looking for a way to add an artistic touch to your drab bathroom? Many homeowners love the added punch of color that a shower tile mosaic offers them. If this is a look that would fit for your bathroom, we have all the info you need to get started.
The cost of installing a tile mosaic on one or more of your shower walls will depend on the materials used, the size of the job, and cost of labor. On average, homeowners pay about $1,500-$2,500 to have an existing shower tiled, not including the cost of materials. A contractor can help cut those costs significantly—get a price quote for an exact figure and learn how to install your shower tile mosaic cost-effectively.
Tile mosaics offer a wide range of colors and flexibility of design.
The right kind of tile can be extremely durable, even in areas exposed to a fair amount of water.
Tile is very easy to clean.
Installing tile in a shower can be a tough project for the DIYer with little experience.
The space in between the tiles can accumulate dirt and grime.
Time-consuming to install, tile mosaics can also be difficult to replace.
With normal wear and tear and regular cleaning, tile mosaics in the shower can last for years.
One of the upsides to installing a tile mosaic in your shower (aside from the aesthetically amazing affect), is the easy maintenance. With regular cleaning, soap scum can be cleaned from tile and grout with distilled white vinegar. Allow the solution to sit for 15 minutes, then scrub with a brush, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. An occasional application of car wax can repel water and grime in the future.
Common Questions and Answers

What is the best type of tile to use for a shower mosaic?
Basically the thing to look for when choosing tile for your shower walls is how much water a tile will absorb. Non-vitreous is the word used to describe tiles that will absorb the most amount of water—these tiles should be avoided in a shower area.
HistorySome of the first mosaics can be traced as far back as the second half of the 3rd millennium, B.C., where they were installed in a temple in Ubaid, Mesopotamia. Since then, tiles have been used as a material to decorate homes, places of worship, and buildings all around the world.

Names of Love (Le nom des gens) Movie Reviews
User reviews on Names of Love (Le nom des gens)
This is a comedy directed by Michel Leclerc and stars Sara Forestier, Jacques Gamblin and Zinedine Soualem. The film is about sex and politics and how these two things interconnect and why. I am not sure that the film portrays the interconnectedness of these two things very well but at least it is entertaining enough to watch. I do think that the film is funny and fun to watch and I liked how the director did not shy away from hot topics. I loved the performance of Sara Forestier, she was absolutely teriffic, she made her character likable and human. Overall, I had a lot of fun watching this film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters.
I enjoy French cinema because it is smart and sophisticated but I have noticed that French comedies are never good. This film was trying to be funny and smart but it did not accomplish it's goal. The movie was funny sometimes and smart the other times but it was never the combination of both. The humor in the film was kind of odd and I do not think that Holocaust should be included in the comedy. Maybe i just do not understand French humor, but i did not appreciate jokes about sexual abuse. Sara Forestier is great in her role and has very good comedic timing. Jacques Gamblin's is also good in his role and they both make a very odd and quite unrealistic couple. Overall, I think this film will not do too well in the United States but Europeans will probably like it.
This is a comedy directed by Michel Leclerc and starring Sara Forestier, Jacques Gamblin and Zinedine Soualem. I really liked this film and i recommend seeing it in the theaters. The main character Baya is so interesting and different, the actress Sara Forestier did an amazing job with this role and I am not surprised that she has won a French Oscar for this part. The movie was also funny and sweet, however I did not understand some of the jokes because they were focused on the French audience. Overall, i highly enjoyed watching this film.

3 Reasons Why I'm an Office Nomad
by Stella Fayman on November 23, 2012
I'm a self proclaimed office nomad. I HATE working in the same place every day, whether it's home, the office, or a coffeeshop. What I've found over the years is that I'm not alone: repetition breeds boredom in the workplace. So here are some reasons why I think you should ditch your work habit and start wandering-
1) You'll meet new people- People in coworking spaces tend to be friendly. They are there to work, but they are also there to network. By making your way around different coworking spaces (including coffeeshops) you'll be exposed to people who you would never meet otherwise. For example, sometimes I meet my friend Marcy at a Logan Square coffeeshop. She's friends with hipster entrepreneurs, developers and designers. I love meeting her friends and coworking because unfortunately, I wouldn't meet them otherwise, and their views broaden my entrepreneurial perspective. Being present in different communities has helped me expand my network exponentially: people are always remarking at how vast (and random) my network is.
2) Novelty breed inspiration– Even if you're not a creative type, being in a new place will force you to think differently about problems. You'll be constantly adapting to a changing environment, and your mind will expand accordingly. There's a reason why people get bored easily: they crave novelty. Novelty will help creativity flow and boost productivity. The night before work when you're thinking about what you'll do the next day, it always adds excitement to know you can pick where you'll be.
3) Different environments are better for different tasks- Just like there is a time of day when you are most productive, different environments may help you excel at certain tasks. For example, my best writing time is between 7 am-9 am at my kitchen table. My best, in the zone, emailing times are shortly thereafter at ING Direct Cafe (something about sitting facing the street makes me write emails like it's my job). If I need to have meetings or network, you can bet I'm spending the day at 1871.

Fifth ranked Stanford men's gymnastics (11-2) came from behind to defeat No. 2 Penn St. and No. 9 Iowa on Saturday night in Burnham Pavilion. The Cardinal rallied to finish with a final team score of 216.7, while Penn St. (214.8) came in second and Iowa (204.75) finished third. David Sender captured the all-around title for Stanford as he recorded a total score of 55.55.
The Cardinal began on the floor where David Sender put together a strong routine to earn the top score of the event with a 9.6. Dylan Carney also performed very well in the event, posting the second highest score of 9.35. After the first event, Stanford had a team total of 35.95.
The team moved to pommel horse where Chris Harper turned in the second highest score in the event as he posted a 9.2. Sender closed out the event by posting an 8.85 to help the Cardinal earn a score of 35.3, bringing their total to 71.25.
Next up for Stanford was the still rings and as in almost every previous meet, the Cardinal would have to step up in this event as they only sent four gymnasts up. All four came through in the clutch as Alex Schorsch led the way with a 9.65. Sender once again closed out the event with a solid performance, scoring a 9.6 to help Stanford total a 37.55. At the halfway point in the meet, the Cardinal trailed Penn St. by a score of 109.3-108.8, while Iowa was in third with a 104.85.
Stanford made their way to the vault where Greg Ter-Zakhariants stuck his landing to earn an 8.95. Not to be outdone, defending NCAA vault champion Sender twisted through the air on his way to earning a 9.2 on the event. The team, however, posted their lowest event score as they totaled a 35.2.
The parallel bars were next for the Cardinal and once again Harper came up big as he earned a score of 9.1. As usual, Sender closed out the event on a high note with another solid routine to earn a 9.05. With only one event to go, Stanford still trailed Penn St. by a score of 179.9-179.65, while Iowa remained in third with 172.9.
If there wasn't enough pressure on the Cardinal already, they would now have to compete in the final event with one less gymnast because of an injury to Ter-Zakhariants. Lucas Hughes started off a little shaky for Stanford, but like any good team he was picked up by the next guy as Andrew Mcintyre stayed strong under the pressure to earn an 8.8. With the capacity crowd roaring Bryant Hadden stepped up and nailed the routine to earn a 9.3. Next up was defending NCAA high bar champion Carney and he did not disappoint as he posted a meet high score of 9.7. With the arena buzzing, Sender sealed the victory for the Cardinal as he stuck the landing earning a 9.25 and also claiming another all-around title with a total score of 55.55. Stanford posted a score of 37.05 on the final event, while Penn St. struggled on the vault recording a 34.40.
Stanford tallied a final score of 216.70, while Penn St. totaled a 214.80 and Iowa scored a 204.75.
The Cardinal return to action on Saturday, March 31 (7:30pm) for the MPSF Championships in Berkeley, CA.

Flaxseed oil, which comes from ground flax seeds, also contains omega-3 fatty acids. This oil is available in gel capsules and as in oil form for salad dressings or foods, but it must be kept refrigerated. Adults can take about 3,000 milligrams a day. It is available at pharmacies, health food stores, and some grocery stores.
Ginger is a spice that comes from the root of the ginger plant. It can be ground up to a powder, used fresh, boiled as a tea, or crystallized. Ginger has been used in Ayurvedic medicine (ancient medical practices native to India) for hundreds of years to fight inflammation. Data from scientific studies is scarce and inconclusive, but at least one study has shown ginger to help relieve some of the pain and swelling experienced by people with RA. Ginger can be bought at grocery stores as a spice, tea, crystallized candy, or a fresh root. It is available in capsule form as well. It can be used daily, but you should not use more than four grams each day.
Turmeric is a spice that, like ginger, has played a role in ancient Ayurvedic practices as an inflammation fighter. Research into its effectiveness is ongoing. At least one study has shown that taking turmeric daily can help relieve morning stiffness and joint pain. Turmeric is available as a ground spice, in capsules, and as a cream. Curcumin is the active ingredient that addresses inflammation. Taking too much turmeric can cause stomach problems such as ulcers. About 1,200 milligrams a day is what is typically recommended. It can be bought at health food stores and grocery stores.
Rheumatoid Arthritis & A Healthy Diet
Although many supplements are available in pill form, it may be a healthier (and less expensive) to turn to your diet for pain relief.
A diet rich in fruit and vegetables is also a diet rich in antioxidants, which also play a role in fighting inflammation. "All RA patients should eat a healthy, balanced diet," says John M. Stuart, MD, professor of medicine and rheumatology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. "There is good evidence that diets rich in antioxidants may have at least modest long-term benefits."
Before trying any supplements…
If you decide you're interested in taking supplements, talk to your doctor first about what's right for you, and be sure to keep them informed after you begin taking the supplements. Remember that unless your doctor says differently, those with rheumatoid arthritis should not stop traditional — and more proven — treatments.

|The Rally Stalls Out
By Minyanville Staff JUL 29, 2013 4:35 PM
Today's financial recap and tomorrow's financial outlook.
The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:INX) continued the trend seen over the past few days. The index bottomed just before noon and rallied throughout the afternoon.
However, unlike on Thursay and Friday, the push higher stalled out and the S&P finished down 0.4% at 1685.
The pending home sales index came in better than expected at -0.4% versus the -1.4% consensus. However, last month's increase of 6.7% was revised down to 5.8%. This drove underperformance in housing and financial stocks.
The Dallas Fed manufacturing survey came in worse than expected with a reading of 4.4 versus the 6.4 forecast by economists.
Gold rose $8 on the day to $1,330 per ounce. The 10-year yield rose 3 bps on the day to 2.59%. Crude oil was little changed on the day, closing at $104.60 per barrel.
Hertz Global Holdings (NYSE:HTZ) reported earnings that fell short of analysts' estimates, sending shares down 3% on the day.Japanese household spending, unemployment rate, and industrial production will be released later tonight. The Nikkei 225 (INDEXNIKKEI:NI225) dropped 3.2% on the day, which was its second consecutive 3%+ decline, so more volatility is likely on the way.
The FOMC meeting will begin tomorrow morning.
On the data front, the ICSC-Goldman Retail Chain Store Sales and Redbook Index will be released tomorrow morning, as will the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index and The State Street Investor Confidence Index.
AFLAC (NYSE:AFL), Coach (NYSE:COH), Merck (NYSE:MRK), and Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) are a few of the major companies releasing earnings tomorrow.Twitter: @Minyanville

Ice Cream Soda
Sweet Moses' ice cream sodas are a sip and a spoonful of history, dating back to the mid-1800s. Then, pharmacists made their own carbonated medicinal remedies, often including cocaine and caffeine, for pains. In the early 20th century, laws banning over-the-counter drugs required soda fountains to lose the stimulants. So phosphates went from treatment to treat. "[The soda fountain] was more than a place to get ice cream," says owner Jeff Moreau. "It was where you went for dates, for celebrations with your family." With the introduction of modern-day soda machines, it became hard to find the special draft-arm carbonation system needed for authentic phosphates. But Moreau's restored 1940s soda fountain does the job. It takes time to do it right, though. Soda jerks must pour the syrup, hand-carbonate it, stir it and wait for it to settle before dropping in a scoop of vanilla. So choose your flavor from among the 17 syrups, and taste a time gone by. 6800 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, 216-651-2202, sweetmosestreats.com

This review is from: The Thirteenth Tale (Paperback)
Exceptional. Totally engrossing. Fair warning. Better get a few good nights of sleep before you open this novel because you will want to finish it before getting any more sleep. Yes. It is that good. I usually read novels to unwind. I was unwound for quite a long spell (pun intended) after I finished it. If you like to start reading a new novel shortly after finishing one, forget it. You will not want to spoil the effect for a while.

U.S. Congressman Mark Kirk greets the crowd in
Wheeling, Ill. as he accepts the Republican nomination
to run for the U.S. Senate seat, on Tuesday Feb. 2, 2010.
(AP Photo/Lois Bernstein)
Related Articles
Mark Kirk wants to be Illinois' anti-gun GOP Senator
Why would IL gun owners vote for gungrabber Mark Kirk?
Don't rely on mainstream press to determine candidate positions
Don, both candidates suck! I am so sick of these damn RINOS! I am not sure what I will do at this point."
--Sean Horton of The Militant Marksman
Illinois gun owners were unhappy but unsurprised as the Illinois Senate primary races concluded last night with victories for Alexi Giannoulias (D-Scylla) and Mark Kirk (R-Charybdis). Neither candidate is a friend of gun rights; Giannoulias is best known for his personal friendship with Barack Obama and the highs and lows his political career has absorbed from his family's bank, while Kirk will always be infamous among gun rights activists for his attempt to revive the Clinton "Assault Weapon Ban" four years after its sunset provision brought it to an unmourned end.
In short, there is no credible pro-gun candidate in the race for the Senate seat currently held by Roland "Tombstone" Burris (D-Blago). This creates a deadlock on the issue; either man could gain an immediate advantage over his adversary by changing his position on guns--if, and only if, he could find a way to make the change credible. That might be easier for Giannoulias, who has no voting record and has not made gun control a central issue, than it would be for Kirk. But there is no indication that either man is contemplating such a step; more likely, gun rights will be treated by both campaigns as a fringe issue, with Kirk demanding that gun owners vote for him in order to further weaken the Democrat majority in the Senate and Giannoulias telling the Brady Campaign that even if Kirk is reliably anti-gun, they still need him in the Senate to shore up the Democrat numbers and ensure that Harry Reid remains the Majority Leader.
"Re-evaluate. Gun rights, gay rights, womens rights, fiscal conservatism, and leave gamblers alone."
--Matt from suburban Chicagoland
There is more than a grain of truth in both arguments, but both sides will try to add a grain of sugar or two to make them go down more easily. Anti-gun activists will essentially be told that no gun control is coming out of the U.S. Senate in the foreseeable future unless something drastic changes, so Giannoulias shouldn't have to campaign on gun control and alienate the bitter clingers "downstate." Gun rights activists will hear--repeatedly--that since gun control is dead on a federal level, they should stop worrying about what Mark Kirk will do as a Senator and think of what a stronger Republican Senate caucus will do--because as we all know, putting Republicans in power restores gun rights, except when it doesn't, and if Kirk somehow made a credible stand against gun control, he could no longer reach out to the all-important Chicago voter.
Can any of those arguments persuade gun owners that either man is the one they want voting on legislation or confirmation of federal judges? No one seems certain. On election night, some stated that they would simply ignore the issue of gun rights, evaluate the candidates' stands on other issues, and vote accordingly. Some vowed never to vote for Mark Kirk as a matter of principle, but stopped short of declaring their vote for Giannoulias. And some, being completely honest, admitted that they simply had no idea what they would do in November.

The text I'm asking about comes from a brochure selling pens with bodies of traditional decorated Imari porcelain. Here's the pen design, with its name:
From another brochure, I gather that the reading is: おうりょくさいかぶとからくさ.
I understand that 黄緑彩(おうりょくさい) describes the yellow-green color, and 唐草(からくさ) describes the arabesque pattern. But what's the 兜(かぶと) doing in there?
I have a theory that it might refer to a plant called 鳥兜(トリカブト), but I can't confirm it.

are surprisingly durable and winter-hardy plant. Pansies can
thrive in the dead of winter, and their colorful blooms will
poke through a blanket of snow. They can even be planted while
they are frozen in their planting trays. Once thawed, they put
on a spectacular show in the garden.
winter durable, do not expect the same performance from
pansies and violas in the summer. Southern heat and humidity
are not suited for these cool temperature bloomers. Consider
planting them as perennials in a garden border and enjoy them
when they are rejuvenated by cool temperatures.
history of the pansy is linked forever to the viola, its
ancestor, but there are differences between the two. Viola is
a large genus containing around 500 species. The hardy but
delicate viola was cultivated by the Greeks for herbal
medicine and much later inspired William Shakespeare to write
of romance. Violas, often called "Johnny-Jump-Ups," have
proven to be more winter hardy and durable in the landscape
than pansies. However, they don't produce as large or as showy
blooms. The pansy's transition from the small viola wildflower
to the beautiful, large-flowered pansy resulted from the
dedicated efforts of an English gardener in the early
Both the
leaves and flowers of pansies and violas are edible and high
in vitamins A and C. The flowers impart a strong flavor and
have been used to make syrup, flavored honey and salads. Both
the leaves and flowers can be used as a garnish, such as on
cold fruit or cream soups. The flowers are also useful as a
dye.Though pansies and violas can be easily grown from
seed, gardeners who seek instant color in their garden will
find packs and flats of pansies at their local nursery or
garden center. Choose plants that are stocky with dark green
foliage. The ideal plant is one with just a few blooms but
with many buds.
and violas thrive in moist, well-drained soil that is rich in
organic matter. They prefer full-sun to partial-shade and
should be fertilized at planting time. Planting in September
through November is ideal to ensure that plants get
established before cold weather really sets in. Be sure to
mulch these cold weather annuals to give them added protection
to endure harsh weather.
nutrition is key to preventing disease in pansies. Also keep
garden soil at a pH less than 5.8. Mixing peat moss into your
soil or using a fertilizer high in sulfur will lower pH
Nothing is
more impressive than when pansies and violas are planted in
mass. However, make sure your spacing is correct. Pansies and
violas are small plants that grow only 8 to 10 inches tall and
wide. They should planted 6 to 8 inches apart.
University of Tennessee and Cheekwood Botanical Gardens tested
142 varieties of pansies and violas in 29 different series for
landscape performance and appeal. Nine were chosen as
series: Maxim, Crystal Bowl, Universal, Fanfare, and
SorbetViola series: Splendid, Penny, Springtime, and
Six were
chosen to be star winners:
varieties: "Fanfare Deep Blue Blotch", "Clear Sky Orange", and
"Skyline White" Viola varieties: "Jewel Maroon and
Yellow", "Sorbet Yellow Delight", and "Penny Violet
If you
find that you are truly taken and passionate about pansies and
violas, you may want to get involved with the National Viola
and Pansy Society. You can find this international group on

Hi all,
I am after some advice. I have two ponies one 13hh NF X thats been backed and rising 5 and one new Highland filly thats rising four and I am starting at the minute.
My question is, I need a new saddle for my Highland but I also want to replace my NF saddle too, has anyone used the Dream Team new treeless saddle ?
Its quoted to be able to fit the rider and thus I could use the same saddle on both ponies. I am just always a bit scared about new things so wanted to ask if anyone had any advise on them ? I love them and having already sat on one for me I am sold but its massivley important for me that my ponies are happy too..
So feedback on them would be great.

I have one, got it before christmas and have been using it ever since and as you know its incredibly comfy, my horse seems really keen on it too - he would let me know if he didnt like it straight away! i havent had any problems with it at all - it doesnt slip, i feel 100% secure in it, puts me in a nice position, i use it for mainly flatwork, im not much of a jumper but i did pop one in it and it was great, i love it. Also if you quote that you read horse and rider you will get £100 off atm
Thanks for reply...
Which kind of horse do you have ? As trying to get this for fat ponies? Also My 13hh NF is a bit small for me to ride, not that he cares about me up there its just I am rather tall on him I want to make sure its not to big on him, he is currenty in a 15in which I fit in fine but will have to get a 16in dream team saddle so worried it might be too long.
Thanks again for the info, its for my birthday next month so might have to see if lovely hubby can buy it sooner :-)
I should also have mentioned that i have used it on both of mine - one of which is a very wide welsh cob x and the other a very high withered arab both of which are awkward to fit conventionally, it was fine on both using different pads
Sorry, my computer is running very slow, i bought the bigger sized one as another lady bigger than myself sometimes rides mine while im away and he is a big beasty so anything small looks dwarfed on him, i should think it would be fine though i would ask the staff at dream team just to check as the saddles are a bit longer than the seat size
Brill - Thanks for the info will give them a ring tom.
Its so hard as I know I want one, but its a massive change for me to go from a "normal" saddle. And I have no horsey friend around me that like them either which makes it even harder...
But all I want to do it hack and fun rides so thinking it would be a good investment for me so I can have one nice saddle for both my ponies and as long as they are happy in it then thats all that matters..
I didnt find it too much of a change really and it was just such a relief to have a saddle that was secure on both of us - the difference in my horses way of going when i went treeless was insane, hes a different horse now, i have tried a few different makes too but the dream one is my favourite and i think its good value for money - i have converted a few people by me and they all love my saddle - once your on board it doesnt look too much different either and i can do everything and more in it than a treed saddle - my horse had an accident a couple of years ago and drastically changed shaped and my two professionally fitted -one was made to measure- saddles just werent right despite being adjusted and i got soo frustrated but now i dont need to worry, i would honestly never put him in a treed saddle again

Ive been treeless now for the past 10yrs and i have two treeless saddles for all our horses (we have 10 between myself and my partner) the only reason i have two is so i can get someone to ride my older horses while i ride the youngsters when my partner not around.
Our saddles fit our horses from 14hh Arabs (round) to Arabs with very high withers as well as our IDs again some are very round with low and normal wither to high withers.
They are soooo comfey for horse and rider i do Endurance in mine which we do upto 160km and we have never had any problems with sore backs or any presure points.
I have a treeless saddle for sale which is the same size as 17inch english its brand new never been used it comes with saddle pad (worth 80pounds) and a leather girth size 20inch i think (worth 67 pounds) the saddle it self was 420 pounds but im selling the lot for 400 pounds.

Hi I might sound a bit daft here - but what are the benifits of a treeless saddle over one with a tree? I've only ever ridden in ones with trees so am inclined to think they must be better as most people have them? - but I don't know much about it so I could be wrong!
Would love to know as I want to be equipped with knowledge about these things when I finally get round to getting my own horse.
There should be no real difference between a well fitting treed saddle and a treeless saddle - a treeless saddle is just missing the rigid, usually wooden tree backbone of the saddle hence it adjusts with the horses shape and in theory can fit any horse with the correct pads used. My horse is hugely wide and doesnt have too much of a wither and is therefore very difficult to fit a saddle to - i had huge problems with the saddle slipping and despite being professionally fitted and check and adjusted nearly every 6 months it just wasnt right and apart from anything else was doing my head in, he also has huge shoulders just to make it more difficult, also he had an accident that left his muscles on either side uneven which a treeless can accomodate to but a treed saddle even using pads cant to the same effect, i find treeless the perfect solution for us as if he changes shape, gains or loses weight or muscle then it is still comfortable for us both and its evened him up almost 100%, without a rigid tree i also feel i have a better connection with him and he is much freer in his movement so happy horse and rider!! but as i said a well fitting treed saddle can be just as good, providing you can get one to fit and your horse isnt an awkward shape, i wouldnt say that a treed saddle is better although they are more commonly used just because they are conventional and traditional, you can get some treeless saddles that look identical to treed saddles now too, i hope this has helped!

Long before Marshall Faulk burst onto the national radar by running into the record books as a freshman at San Diego State, and then into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Rocky Arceneaux was already witnessing a special athlete.
Arceneaux, a New Orleans native who grew up in the Lower 9th Ward playing basketball at Holy Cross, had no idea, though, he'd eventually play an integral role in Faulk's career.
After Faulk wrapped up his college career, Arceneaux, the CEO of the San Diego-based Alliance Management Group, landed the biggest coup of his of his career - Faulk, who on Saturday will become the first New Orleans native inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"CJ (Saints receivers coach Curtis Johnson, who recruited Faulk to San Diego State) told me that this kid is going to change your life," Arceneaux said. "I think at the time, he may have meant from a career standpoint, but he had no idea that it would be one of the most cherished relationships that I have to this day."
Although he doesn't know how he'll handle the emotions of seeing Faulk unveil his bust in Canton, Ohio, Arceneaux, who negotiated more than $60 million in NFL contracts for Faulk, said he's elated that he'll present Faulk at the induction ceremony.
Road to Canton
Times-Picayune apologizes to Faulk
Part I: Faulk had will, desire to better himself, family
Part II: Faulk proved naysayers wrong
Part III: Faulk smoothly transitions to role in front of camera
"I am extremely honored," said Arceneaux, 50. "Obviously, when I signed Marshall and we established and developed this type of relationship, with both of us being from New Orleans, you never imagine it going to this point.
"At the time all I hoped for was that he had a successful NFL career, he represented himself and his hometown in the manner he could be proud of and I could be proud of, and it turned into the ultimate, going into football heaven. And with me presenting him, I am speechless. I don't know how I am going to pull off presenting him."
But it likely won't be too hard.
For more than a decade, Faulk dazzled the NFL, finishing his illustrious 13-year career as perhaps the best all-around running back in NFL history.
Faulk ranked fourth in league history in yards from scrimmage (19,154), seventh in touchdowns (136), 10th in rushing yards (12,279) and first in receiving yards as a running back (6,875).
Faulk, who was the league MVP in 2000 and the Offensive Player of the Year from 1999-2001, set a then-NFL record with 2,429 yards from scrimmage in 1999.
Arceneaux said he was extremely pleased to witness Faulk mature during his playing days, especially seeing how Faulk handled the trade from Indianapolis to St. Louis, where he helped the Rams win Super Bowl XXXIV.
"It was gratifying watching his career because I don't have any kids, and I have always treated all of my clients like kids," Arceneaux said. "And seeing Marshall go from San Diego State to Indianapolis, where he wouldn't even speak to the media because he didn't understand the importance, or at that time the relevance of what he was doing on the field - to now seeing him become a member of the media is special.
"The entire maturation process, the way he handled the trade from Indianapolis to St. Louis with me knowing that that wasn't one of the teams he really wanted to go to. I basically took him from probably the (worst) team to probably the second worst team in the NFL at that time. But the way he handled it, at that point, he became a Hall of Famer or at least he had the mind-set of I am going to be a professional and handle this."

A few of the new menu items are:

- Large Paccheri with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Chicken Meatballs, and Bucatini with Spicy Diavolo Sauce and Shrimp – both part of Cucina Mia:

- Wild Berry Layer Cake – Layers of moist vanilla cake and Italian cream topped with seasonal berries and white chocolate shavings.
A personal favorite is the Chicken Abruzzi. During the warmer months, I appreciate a hearty meal that doesn't seem exceptionally heavy. The Chicken Abruzzi is very filling without becoming overwhelming. The flavors from the garden vegetables come through in the delicate broth. This dish is a perfect on a warm night.
The classic pasta options benefit from new sauces. The Spicy Diavolo brings the heat in a manageable way. When added with sauteed shrimp, the meal brings a good balance of sweet shrimp and spicy sauce.
Olive Garden offers value and selection in the casual dining experience. Whether grabbing a quick bite or sharing a large family meal, everyone will have varied options to satisfy their cravings.

While the Diamondbacks managed to tag former teammate Ian Kennedy with a loss last Saturday night, there may be a new image.
When Kennedy was with the Diamondbacks, the right-hander became predictable with location and secondary pitches. Not to indicate hitters were kept guessing but Kennedy's deliveries suffered from lack of location. By the time the D-backs dealt the native of Huntington Beach, Calif. to the Padres at the trading deadline last July, Kennedy was 3-8 and a 5.23 ERA in 21 starts.
Quickly, a change of venue appeared to address whatever maladies were uncovered. In 10 starts with the Padres, he managed an above .500 conclusion (4-2, 4.24 ERA) to a season which began as a horror show.
Despite dropping a 4-3 decision to the D-backs his last time out, Kennedy enters his next assignment Thursday at home against the Marlins as a pitcher with a different look.
"(Kennedy) has a better command of his pitches and with better command comes grater velocity," said Bud Black, the San Diego manager. "The improvement with Ian starts with his mechanics."
Against the Diamondbacks in his last start, Kennedy was pushing the radar gun into the low 90s. His fast ball with Arizona rarely reached that high and, upon occasion, he might hit 91. Now, he appears to be consistently in the low 90s and struck out Gerardo Parra with a 95 mile per hour fastball to start the game.
Since he went 21-4 and an ERA of 2.88 in 33 starts in helping the D-backs capture the 2011 National League West Division title, the 29-year-old has been on a downward spiral. In the following year, 2012, he managed a 15-13 season but his ERA spiked to 4.02 and hen the downfall to start last season.
In the meantime, the Padres had their eye on Kennedy and knew of his achievement in the championship season of 2011.
"Last year, we were in need of starting pitching," Black continued. "We had numerous injuries and the staff was depleted. We were not where we needed to be and injuries were the main reason. (Kennedy) had a track record of success."
When trade rumors began to swirl around Kennedy, the Padres jumped forward. In dealing left-handed reliever Joe Thatcher to the D-backs, Black and Josh Byrnes, the San Diego general manger, had little to lose.
So the deal was made and Kennedy was sent packing for Thatcher and right-handed reliever Matt Stites.
If Black, who pitched in the majors for 14 years with Seattle, Kansas City, Cleveland, Toronto and San Francisco, immediately recognized Kennedy's earlier command issue, that observation did not escape the Diamondbacks.
"(Kennedy) did not have as much command of his secondary pitches," offered Arizona manager Kirk Gibson. "Plus, there were location and command issues. If you can command your fast ball, you'll have much more success."
In actually facing Kennedy, the Diamondbacks indicated their knowledge was not a factor in approaching their former teammate.
"(Kennedy) struck me twice in a game here last season," said catcher Miguel Montero. "So, not, I don't see any advantage."
Approaching his start Thursday against Miami, Kennedy is 2-4, a 3.43 ERA for seven starts. That includes a team-high 44 strikeouts in 42 innings of work.

I am preparing to take the Math Praxis 0069, however math has never been my strong suit. I have read in many places to simply keep doing problems and that's the best practice you can get. However I have no idea where to find problems that can prepare me for the exam! I have worked the problems that ETS provides but I am now looking for additional problems and examples to study for this exam. Any advice?

CSUN Box Score | CSU Bakersfield Box Score
STANFORD, Calif. - The 20th-ranked Stanford softball team run-ruled Cal State Northridge, 8-0 in five innings, and CSU Bakersfield, 12-0 in five innings, Saturday, in the Stanford Nike Invitational at Smith Family Stadium. The Cardinal improves to 9-2 overall, while Matadors fell to 3-8 overall and Roadrunners dropped to 0-6.
Freshman pitcher Kelsey Stevens notched the win in the circle against Cal State Northridge, moving to 4-1 overall. She allowed just one hit and tallied five strikeouts in her second straight shutout. Senior Teagan Gerhart earned the win against CSU Bakersfield, improving to 5-1. Mia Pagano (1-3) took the loss for the CSUN, while Sydney Raeber (0-1) was the losing pitcher for Roadrunners.
Against Cal State Northridge, Stanford scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning. With the bases loaded, sophomore Hanna Winter scored on a wild pitch. Freshman designated player Kayla Bonstrom drew a walk with the bases loaded to score sophomore Leah White. Freshman Jessica Plaza then singled to left field, scoring senior Sarah Hassman.
A five-run outburst by the Cardinal in the bottom of the fifth inning ended the game early as the run-rule went into effect. Hassman led off the inning and reached on an error by CSUN second baseman Tiffini Lucero. With runners on first and second, Bonstrom ripped a double to left field, scoring Hassman and pinch runner Alyssa Lombardo. Right fielder Cassandra Roulund then hit a triple to right field, scoring pinch runners Tylyn Wells and Corey Hanewich. Freshman second baseman Kaitling Schaberg ended the game with a single to left field, scoring Roulund.
Stanford wasted no time getting on the scoreboard against CSU Bakersfield in the second game of the day. The Cardinal scored six runs on three hits, while the Roadrunners committed one error. Senior short stop Jenna Rich hit triple to right centerfield, scoring White and Hassman. A sacrifice fly by Bonstrom brought Rich home to make the score 3-0 in favor of the Cardinal.
Still in the bottom of the first inning, Stanford designated player Danielle Miller reached on a throwing error by CSUB second baseman Adianna Cardoza. That led to a two-run triple by Roulund and an RBI triple by senior second baseman Tegan Schmidt.
The Cardinal finished off the Roadrunners with a six-run fourth inning. Bonstrom drove in the first run on an RBI single with the bases loaded. Wells, the designated player, then reached on a fielder's choice to score Rich, but an error by short stop Shay Fryer kept the bases loaded for the Cardinal. Roulund then hit her second triple of the game, bringing home Erin Ashby, Bonstrom and Wells. Schmidt plated Roulund with a single to left centerfield for the final run of the inning.
The Cardinal wraps-up the Stanford Nike Invitational on Sunday, Feb. 17 against UC Davis. First pitch is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.

Wild populations of the Regent Honeyeater (Anthochaera phrygia) have declined mainly due to the clearing and fragmentation of woodland and forest containing its preferred Eucalyptus species. Long term recovery of the species requires a landscape approach to conservation involving the retention of 'key' eucalypt species; an increase in the area and health of box-ironbark communities through improved management. The primary objective of the breeding program is the provision of an insurance population for posterior release back into the wild. In the last few years the program has achieved encouraging results. Currently seven zoo-bred released honeyeaters have been observed up to two years post release, with one bird observed 700km from the release site.
Taronga is a key player in the regional program for the species, researching the viability of conservation efforts aimed at facilitating the long term recovery of the Regent Honeyeater and its habitat. The ongoing success of released zoo-bred birds and of the program in general is reflected in the expanding annual goals of the program which are established by the Recovery Team.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Senior Francesca Bassa and sophomore Avery Youngblood were in Minneapolis, Minn. over the weekend to compete in the Division I National Championships and April North American Cup.
Youngblood, a Dallas, Texas native, fenced on Saturday in the Division I Women's Sabre event. She started in pool number two where she would go 1-4 in five bouts. She defeated Rachel Aho from the Boston Fencing Club, 5-3. Unfortunately for Youngblood she would not advance as she ended up 29th overall.
Bassa, who recently finished up her collegiate career at Stanford, took to the strips on Sunday for the Division I Women's Epee. After losing her first bout in pool seven, Bassa rattled off four straight victories in pool play to finish at the top of her pool.
In the table rounds, Bassa received the No. 9 seed and a first round bye. Her first match came in the round of 32 when she topped No. 24 Erica Korb, a Northern California fencer, 15-8. In the round of 16, she went up against No. 8 Kelley Hurley from South Texas. Hurley won the top 10 battle by a 15-10 count to end Bassa's run. Bassa finished No. 10 overall.
