On Sunday, Jon Vilma earned every penny of the five-year, $34 million contract he signed with the New Orleans Saints in free agency last March.
With the Saints desperately clinging to a 26-23 lead against the Falcons, the veteran linebacker made two key plays in the final five minutes to preserve the Saints' 13th win of the season.
First, he killed one drive with an interception against Chris Redman. It was Vilma's second clutch interception in as many weeks and his third of the season.
His second big play was an example of his tireless preparation and veteran savvy. He quickly diagnosed a Falcons play which had been run earlier in the game and made a critical tackle on fourth down to stop another Falcons drive and ice the game.
The first time the Falcons ran the play - a follow route by the running back -- it resulted in a 38-yard gain by running back Jason Snelling. Facing a third-and-3 on the third play from scrimmage, the Falcons aligned receiver Michael Jenkins to the left side of the formation with three receivers bunched tight to the right: wide receiver Brian Finneran, tight end Tony Gonzalez and receiver Roddy White. Snelling motioned from the left side of the backfield to the right side and followed the three receivers on a pass route at the snap. Finneran ran a shallow 5-yard crossing pattern to the left. Gonzalez ran a 10-yard out to the right. White, meantime, went deep on a post pattern. Snelling followed the cluster, faked an out route to the right then cut back to the left down the middle of the field.
Conscientious of Gonzalez, three Saints went with him on the out route: safety Roman Harper, who appeared to have single coverage on him underneath, and linebackers Scott Shanle and Jon Vilma who were in a shallow zone. Ultimately Vilma lost his responsibility in the middle of the field and allowed Snelling to break free between the hashmarks for the longest pass reception of his career.
The Falcons went back to the same play on fourth-and-2 on their final drive and the Saints read it. Vilma jumped the route by Snelling and met with him with a perfect form tackle to stop him short of the first down. Redman looked like he had his mind made up on the play before the snap. He had Gonzalez open on the out route against Harper in the right flat but never looked his way.
"That play worked earlier, so you knew they were going to come back to it at a certain point in the game," Vilma said. "We talked about it on the sidelines and had a different defense ready for it. It worked the second time against it."
Cornerback Randall Gay said he and several Saints knew the play was coming as soon as they saw the Falcons line up in the bunch formation and guess correctly that they would go back to the back.
"Everybody on the team was calling it out right when it happened," Gay said. "We have smart team. We study it. We listen to what (defensive coordinator) Gregg (Williams) and D.A. (defensive backs coach Dennis Allen) and everybody goes over. We knew the play and everybody was ready. We didn't cover it well (the first time). They came back for it. I left my man to go cover it. J.V. beat me to it."
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Reggie Bush looked like the old Reggie for most of this afternoon. He showed no ill effects from the bum knee that sidelined him for two games in Weeks 11 and 12. He looked fast and explosive out of his cuts for the first time in weeks. He finished with 33 rushing yards on six carries (5.5 yards-a-carry average) and caught all six passes thrown his way for 46 yards and two touchdowns. The 13 touches were his most since Week 3. Against the Redskins a week earlier, Bush was temporarily benched for failing to execute a key screen pass just before halftime. But he bounced back from that disappointing effort with one of his best days of the year. His second score, ironically, came on a perfectly timed route on a screen play. The Falcons blitzed the house out of their nickel personnel, sending linebackers Mike Peterson, Curtis Lofton and safeties Thomas DeCoud and Erik Coleman. That left only three defensive backs between Bush and the goal line once he slipped into the right flat. He had a wall of blockers as escorts on his way to the end zone and scored untouched. He fired the ball emphatically into the wall after he scored, perhaps in response to almost losing a fumble on the previous play. It was the perfect call for the situation and Bush executed flawlessly this time. After playing just 17 snaps against the Redskins last week, Bush ran 29 snaps against the Falcons.
CALL OF THE GAME: I liked Sean Payton's fake field goal call but Mark Brunell has to execute better. He held the ball way too long and needed to make a quicker decision, either to run or pass it. Carl Nicks was wide open downfield and Darnell Dinkins was open in the flat but Burnell waited too long to throw the pass. If he makes a quicker decision he has both players open: Nicks for a likely touchdown and Dinkins for the first down. Brunell hasn't thrown a pass since the 2006 season and he looked gun shy on that play. "I thought I was open, but I turned around and saw the little guys (coming at me)," Nicks said. "I guess I wasn't that open. I think initially I was, because I think I caught 'em by surprise. But then they caught up. I thought they were going all out. I thought it was going to be wide open. They did a good job. I've got to give them their props on that." That might have been the Saints' best opportunity to add a 20th name to their league-leading list of 19 players who have scored touchdowns this season.
PRESSURE REPORT: Gregg Williams lives and dies by his exotic pressure packages and Sunday's game was a perfect example. He employed his usual variety of pressures but for the second consecutive week none of them were effective. He blitzed only five times in the first half, but grew more aggressive in the second half once the Saints grabbed a two-touchdown lead. He sent cornerbacks Randall Gay and Malcolm Jenkins on a pair of corner fires - named Chucky blitzes in honor of former Bucs coach Jon Gruden -- on the Falcons' first drive and got burned. Atlanta's protection picked up both blitzes. On the second, Redman hit Michael Jenkins for a 50-yard touchdown pass. Jenkins beat Darren Sharper in single coverage for the easy score and got the Falcons back into the game. However, the corner fire worked beautiful in the Saints' advantage later in the game. New Orleans has just taken a 26-23 advantage when Atlanta came out in the Wildcat formation for their first down play at the Falcons 36. Gay blitzed unblocked off the edge and wisely stayed at home on the play to tackle Ellis Weems for a 12-yard loss. That was a huge play because Vilma made the big interception one player later. Credit Williams for having the confidence to call the Chucky after he'd been burned by it earlier in the game.
DIDYA NOTICE?: The Saints nearly lost a pair of fumbles. Pierre Thomas almost lost the handle on the ball on his first reception, a 24-yard gain on a screen pass down the left sideline. Falcons linebacker Stephen Nicholas stabbed the ball loose from Thomas as he made a cut downfield and the Saints back was lucky to corral it as he was tackled. In a much more conspicuous play, Bush nearly lost the ball in the backfield when John Abraham poked it free shortly after the handoff. Bush made an athletic play to alertly pounce on the loose ball or else the Falcons might have had a free run at a touchdown return. There were three Falcons ready to pounce on the ball if Bush failed to come up with it and there were no other Saints players in the vicinity.
FIRST QUARTER: It looked like Chevis Jackson arrived a hair early to break-up Brees' third down pass to Jeremy Shockey on the Saints' opening drive. Officials might have ruled Jackson was making a play on the ball but he clearly hit Shockey just before he was attempting to make the catch, which would have given the Saints a first down inside the Falcons' 10-yard line. ... Troy Evans' inexperience at linebacker showed early when he failed to read a reverse to Eric Weems, overpursued the toss sweep to Jerious Norwood and abandoned his backside responsibility. This allowed Weems to take the reverse pitch from Norwood, find a seam where Evans should have been and ramble 31 yards downfield into Saints territory. Only a nice play by safety Roman Harper prevented Weems from going the distance. ... Rookie Jonathan Casillas made his first appearance in a while at linebacker, blitzing quarterback Chris Redman on third down and assisting Sedrick Ellis on the tackle for a key third-down stop. Casillas was pressed into duty with strong-side linebackers Scott Fujita and Jo-Lonn Dunbar sidelined with injuries. ... Zach Strief turned "enforcer" at the end of the Saints' second kickoff return. He took offense to Kroy Biermann's rough stuff at the end of a tackle on Courtney Roby and came to his teammate's defense, igniting a brief skirmish involving several players at the end of the play.
SECOND QUARTER: It was a tough start for left tackle Jermon Bushrod. He was beaten by John Abraham for a tackle on Lynell Hamilton for no gain on the final play of the first quarter then he was whistled for a false start on the first play of the second quarter. ... Jon Stinchcomb was injured on the second play of the quarter when Falcons defensive end Jammal Anderson submarined his right knee. ... The Saints used personnel to burn the Falcons for a big play and set up their first touchdown. Employing a three-tight end set on third-and-four, Brees hit his single receiver, Robert Meachem, for a 42-yard gain. The play isolated Meachem in single coverage against corner Christopher Owens, a 5-9 rookie from San Jose State. Meachem made Owens sit on the out route for the first down then slipped inside his coverage and beat him deep on the go route. ... Bush beat linebacker Mike Peterson like a drum in single coverage and made a nice catch on a bullet from Brees in the right flat to score the Saints' first touchdown. Bush crossed up Peterson on his route, making him think he was going over the middle then broke outside and made a nice catch and run for the score. ... The Falcons blew a golden opportunity when Redman failed to connect on a long pass to Michael Jenkins, after he had beaten safety Darren Sharper with a double move on a dig-and-go route. Redman's pass was just out of Jenkins' reach or it could have been a touchdown because Sharper had gambled on the play and was beaten. ... The Saints defense had a really weird formation on a third-and-8 play midway through the period. They only had two down linemen, Anthony Hargrove and Bobby McCray, and had end Jeff Charleston lined up as a middle linebacker. Those three rushed and the Saints dropped eight into coverage. The alignment appeared to confuse Redman, who unloaded an incompletion into double coverage downfield. ... Bush set up a nice 23-yard return on his first and only punt by setting up the coverage with a couple of steps to the right, then reversing field to the left and allowing his wall of blockers to pick off defenders along the sideline. It was Bush's longest return of the season and he showed exceptional acceleration to get to the edge on the return. ... A very athletic play by Drew Brees allowed him to complete a pass to Jeremy Shockey on second-and-16. He was able to avoid a sack on a Falcons blitz with his quick feet, scramble right and make a difficult but highly accurate throw on the run to a well-covered Shockey for 12 yards. Most quarterbacks would have been sacked or forced to throw an incompletion. With Brees, it's an 11-yard gain. More important, it helped keep the Saints' drive alive and eventually led to a touchdown. ... Randall Gay got away with a hold on Marty Booker during the Falcons' two-minute drive before halftime. ... Sean Payton pulled and chewed out Charles Grant after a late personal foul penalty gave the Falcons a first down at the Saints' 14-yard line inside the final minute.
THIRD QUARTER: Pierre Thomas appeared to tweak his right ankle at the end of tackle on the first play of the half. He was engaged with a defender when Jonathan Babineaux rolled into him from behind, catching Thomas' right leg beneath him. Thomas sat out the rest of the series. ... Reggie Bush made something out of nothing on a key third-and-1 play to start the second half. He broke a tackle by Babineaux in the backfield and raced around left end for 19 yards to convert the first down and keep the drive alive. Babineaux tried to tackle the ball rather than Bush on the play. ... Another excellent and underrated decision by Drew Brees on a key third-and-10 on the Saints' opening drive. The Falcons blitzed and Brees beat it with a quick thrown to Meachem, who was on a go route in single coverage against Brent Grimes. Grimes made a nice diving interception but officials called him for pass interference, giving the Saints a first down at the Falcons 12. It was a tough call against Grimes, who played Meachem well. But, again, a great decision by Brees to avoid the pressure and make something out of nothing. The Saints scored a touchdown three plays later. ... Troy Evans made a nice read on a right sweep to Norwood and forced a holding call on right tackle Quinn Ojinnaka. ... The Saints went into another funky defensive formation on third down in an effort to try to confuse the Falcons. On third-and-5, only nose tackle DeMario Pressley lined up with his hand down. Ends Charleston and Bobby McCray rushed from stand-up positions. This time, the Falcons weren't fooled, and Redman hit Finneran for a 19-yard gain to convert the third down.
FOURTH QUARTER: Falcons left tackle Sam Baker and left guard Justin Blalock overpowered Anthony Hargrove at the point of attack to easily clear room for Snelling to covert a third-and-1 play on the quarter's first play from scrimmage. ... Sedrick Ellis appeared to injure his left knee on Snelling's 4-yard touchdown run. On Monday, Sean Payton called the injury a bruise but it appeared Ellis twisted his knee awkwardly while being blocked by Blalock. He immediately reached down to grab his left knee and limped off the field. Ellis missed time earlier this season with a sprained right knee. ... The Saints got a huge break on the spot of a second-down reception by Marques Colston. Colston was well short of the Falcons' 48-yard and he needed to reach the 47 for the first down. Yet officials spotted the ball a full yard farther downfield, giving the Saints a first down. I'm surprised Falcons coach Mike Smith did not challenge the call. ...Fullback Marcus Mailei made his debut in the regular offense on the Saints' seventh play of the quarter. He served as a decoy blocker on a misdirection pitch to Bush for a 2-yard gain. ... The Saints used a pick play to defeat an unusual coverage by the Falcons and convert a third-and-4. Defensive end Lawrence Sidbury and linebacker Stephen Nicholas were assigned to Bush out of the backfield. Colston, who was lined up wide right, took out Nicholas with a shallow crossing route, leaving Sidbury on Bush in the right flat. Brees immediately recognized the mismatch and lofted an easy pass over his head for an 8-yard gain. ... Some major confusion led to an intentional grounding call against Brees when he was forced to unload a hurried throw under pressure from Abraham. It appeared Shockey was confused with his assignment and might have had the responsibility of picking up Abraham, who was unblocked on the play. During pre-snap, Brees had to direct Shockey to his proper spot in the backfield and could be seen calling out the protection to Shockey before the snap. Regardless, someone blew an assignment because Abraham was unblocked. As a result, the Saints were penalized 10 yards, lost a down and were forced to settle for a field goal.
PERSONNEL PACKAGES: Payton did not use any four-receiver sets in this game. That will change next week when Lance Moore returns to action. Moore will help ease the workload of the receiving corps, as well. Colston (60 snaps), Henderson (54) and Meachem (44) saw season-high reps because of the heavy rotation of multiple-receiver sets.With Bush back at full strength, he re-introduced the two-back alignments to the attack. He called four plays with both Bush and Pierre Thomas on the field. Each play came from a different personnel formation and alignment.
Here's the breakdown of the reps at each skill position: WR - Colston 60; Henderson 54; Meachem 44. TE - Shockey 49; D. Thomas 30; Dinkins 9; Zach Strief 5. RB - Pierre Thomas 35; Bush 29; Hamilton 5.
Here's a look at the Saints' personnel packages on their 67 offensive snaps:
3WR/1TE/1RB - 26 out of 67
2WR/2TE/1RB - 17 out of 67
2WR/1TE/1RB/1FB - 10 out of 67 plays
1WR/2TE/1RB/1FB - 4 out of 67
3WR/1RB/1FB - 3 out of 67
1WR/1TE/2RB/1FB - 1 out of 67
1WR/2TE/2RB - 1 out of 67
2WR/1TE/2RB - 1 out of 67
3WR/2RB - 1 out of 67
2TE/1RB/1FB/1S - 2 out of 67
FG personnel - 1 out of 67

Mesa State Race Weekend Report
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Thanks once again to Addie Levinsky for providing use with the race report!
This weekend was Grand Junction's Mesa State College's race weekend. The weekend included an individual time trial hill climb and a criterium on Saturday, and a road race on Sunday. Aside from being stuck on top of Vail Pass on Friday afternoon, all the teams managed to make it up to Grand Junction in time for the ITT Saturday morning.
The ITT was organized (for lack of a better word) by first come first serve registration. Not that in an individual time trial the categories necessarily have to be split up, but it makes the average collegiate rider feel overly pressured when the pros are passing them in minutes up the hill. The climb was a 3.7 mile climb with 1,017 feet of elevation gain up Colorado National Monument. The climb was very similar to Lookout Mountain in Golden, though a little tougher with less corners, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. There is no doubt it was a painful climb, especially without adequate warm-ups. Though, it was a good way to warm-up the legs for the afternoon/evening criterium.
The criterium was hosted at the Grand Junction Motor Speedway track. Again, the categories were "organized" somewhat strangely. Men's C, Women's B, Men's B then it broke off into non-collegiate categories, which all had very few riders. Starting at 6:30 collegiate Women's A and Men's A took the field. Twilight criteriums are a fun, exciting idea. Twilight criteriums in the middle of March on an incredibly sketchy course are not such a good idea. Though, there were only a few crashes in the earlier categories due to very tight corners and a slick course, as the sun went down the prospect for more mishaps rose. The races seemed somewhat slower than a usual speed for a criterium, solely because of the course itself. Although, this changed during the Men's A race. The sun went down and the men were off, hitting top speed immediately, turning through the corners quickly, and within ten-fifteen minutes people were dropping and pulled out. Towards the last several laps, one of the two lamps went out at the most technical turn, which caused great scare for the prospectors and of course the riders. Their speed barely dropped and with two laps to go there was a break of a few men, and every pack and individual rider made a sprint for the finish; not once did they take it easy. The crit absolutely had some exciting moments, though riders were so unpleased with the course layout there were many that did not finish. Mesa may want to consider putting the course back out in Fruita where it has been in the past… but, after Saturday's Time Trial and Sunday's road race it became very apparent that Mesa likes to make their courses as difficult and/or as painful as possible.
Sunday's Road Race was held off of Hwy 50, onto Reeder's Mesa Road. The riders rolled out on the Reeder's Mesa Road and approached the first climb, which nearly decided how the race would go for each individual. The riders then began on the 11-mile lap which were straight roads, seemingly flat, though at times reached a 6% grade. The straight road became increasingly harder, even in the little chain-ring. Finally, a 9 (or so) mile descent approached us which was used for much needed recovery. Groups and individuals began catching up with some of their teammates and competitors during this period until another brutal climb approached, which riders slowly rode up until the last two miles back onto Reeder's Mesa Road. Many riders, especially those doing more than the one lap (30 miles) dropped out of the race and everyone was absolutely beat by the end of their accomplishments. This was the first road race of the season and extremely difficult, both for being so early in the spring and the course itself was a huge test of physical and mental strength.
If anything, Mesa State knows how to host a race weekend that drains all riders that participate. There could be some changes…mostly in organization and the criterium course, but overall, if riders can handle the suffering so early in the season, Mesa's race weekend is a great time to test that ability.

Seriously? Racing your ride bike isn't supposed to be a breeze. You obviously have a long way to go in your mental game - "overly pressured" by the pro on an ITT? freaked out by a sharp turn? I suggest you take up crocheting.
And btw, it's collegiate racing, don't expect it to ever be organized. That's the joy of paying a $20 entry fee that your mom is most likely picking up the tab for anyway.
I find it entertaining to compare Caley's account of the weekend versus Addie's. Caley know's how to enjoy a good challenge.

You think that I don't
Submitted by Addie Levinsky (not verified) on
You think that I don't appreciate the suffering? It's simply supposed to be an account of what the race was like. For someone who has never raced a bicycle it's supposed to be a vivid way of describing what goes on.
Of course it's supposed to be brutal. I don't understand how you got the impression I was "whining". Everyone was destroyed by Sunday, which is a great thing. It is a physical and mental build.
That being said, if I said "This weekend completely sucked. It was too hard." and didn't take a moment to describe the course or anything about the race itself, it would be a pretty worthless article for both racers and non-racers.

Anonymous and Addie,
I appreciate Addie's account of the race. If you never feel pressured, nervous, or beat while you're racing then I suggest you take up crocheting. Your comment is naive and rude.
Being someone who raced Mesa as well, this article does give a strong description of how difficult Mesa's race weekend is. I've attended this race weekend every year for 5 years and it never ceases to kick my ass, especially for being so early in the season.
Lighten up. Isn't that what collegiate cycling is supposed to be? Isn't cycling supposed to be a communal, physically draining, passionate sport?
Addie, good article. Great job on your first season thus far and I hope you keep sticking to it!

Not getting it
Submitted by Eric Jensen (not verified) on
As I read this, I just object to the word "report" in the title. If you could come up with a word that indicated it was 98% opinion, then I wouldn't have even clicked on it to read it. Reporting is about objective fact presentation; this is purely subjective dreck. I know this is not CNN, but it would be nice if you could report on what happened, and then if you feel the dire need to rant about your personal experience, separate that from the "race report" ... so I can stop reading and move on.

Eh, this just a "Meme" of sorts that I want to do.
I literally just had the idea out of the blue (After watching somethin' on TV.) and if this Meme has been done before, I take no credit for 'creating' this.
Basically it's a "Bucket List" of things that you haven't done, wish you could do (Fantasy-like wishes are accepted too.) or whatever.
I'll start:
.I have never climbed a tree
.Never eaten honeysuckle
.I've always wanted to invent something new
.Never climbed a mountain
.Wish bubblegum cigarettes came back
.Never played a sport for more than one year
.Never had a 'life'
.Never 'Got out' as people say
.Never got into a fight that lasted very long
.Never had a driving lesson that lasted more than a minute
.Never been to Japan
.Never been to a country that was on my 'other' list
.Wish I had another Root Beer Float, I only had one
.Wish Keyblades were real...Would be an awesome weapon
.Never had my own weapon. Not even a pair of nunchaku
.Never did much in school other than work
.Wish that there was such thing as live gaming
.Never learned how to play an instrument
.Never learned a second language
.Never been to a Con
.Never had pocky
.Wish I had a hat. Not a cap, a brimmed hat, they're cool
.Wish I had a cape, capes are kinda cool too
.Wish I had never broken a bone (I would've if I hadn't worn sandals that day)
.Was never good at throwing things except for pencils
I'm drawing a bit of a blank, but that's just a start. Whatever

Decline in college enrollment rate
May 18, 2000
Of the high school graduating class of 1999, 62.9 percent were enrolled in colleges or universities in the fall. The college enrollment rate was somewhat lower than a year earlier and was well below its October 1997 record high of 67.0 percent.
Among the 2.9 million youth who graduated from high school in 1999, about 1.8 million were enrolled in college the following fall. The college enrollment rate of young women, at 64.4 percent, continued to exceed that of young men (61.4 percent).
This information is from a supplement to the October 1999 Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly nationwide survey of about 50,000 households that provides basic data on national employment and unemployment. Additional information is available from "College Enrollment and Work Activity of 1999 High School Graduates," news release USDL 00-136.

Cold 187um aka Big Hutch of Above the Law drops the digital download of his new album, Only God Can Judge Me on April 26th. Avoiding the G-funk debate altogether, LAHHE got Hutch to talk about his label, West World on Big Shot Music, his band and his wow.
LAHHE: So where can we pick up Only God Can Judge Me?
Big Hutch: We're releasing the digital download on iTunes [and other outlets] but it won't be in stores til mid-June because that's where technology is going. It's just another way to be a little more independent. A lot of people say they are independent but have a major telling them what to do. West World is all independent money. We like the digital release because that's "right now" money, no manufacturers, no reserves to hold 80% of your money up, just "right now."
LAHHE: Did you produce everything?
Big Hutch: Yea, everything except "Look Into My Eyes" produced by Big Dre "The Decepticon" and "F*ckin' Wit You" produced by Royal Krown, another group on my imprint.
LAHHE: You're also working on O.G. Since 1967, right?
Big Hutch: Well in mid-July we're releasing a DVD of Only God Can Judge Me that will tie all the videos we shoot for the album together into one big video. It's kind of a gangsta love story, how I look at the game. When you're hustlin' you forget about the people that love you, you on the chase. There's a twist at the end, so you gotta see it. The score is the whole album but "Rock Boy", "Look Into My Eyes", "Lord Have Mercy", "Let's Get Neked" featuring LeVert II and "Psycho Pimp" are the main ones.
O.G. Since 1967 is coming like August/September. I wrote two records at the same time. Only God Can Judge Me is more like, "I'm on my own tip, I'm doing what I want to do," a throwback record. O.G. Since 1967 is all kinds of different music, that's my "wow" like Richard Pryor, dirty comedy was his "wow." O.G. Since 1967 is my "wow," the way I look at music. I studied rock, classical, funk, blues, it's a fusion. I was raised by my father Richard Hutch and uncle Willie Hutch, they wrote for The Jacksons, Commodores, Miracles....A lot of people don't understand that music is my heritage and I studied music waaay before Above the Law. I still do the Above the Law thing as well. Above the Law is working on putting out Victim of Global Politics at the end of this year, we're still hashing everything out. It's not smart for me to not do Above the Law. I'm just trying to realize my dreams. I'm not a guy that thinks I'm going to live forever, you need to get it in!
LAHHE: Are we going to be able to see you perform soon?
Big Hutch: Probably not on tour soon but when you see what I do live, it's different, as far as gangsta. I have a 6-piece band, I take it real seriously. You might see me play (piano) and rap. Most of the music on the album I composed myself, no samples except drums and loops. We are rehearsing now and probably won't perform until late summer. Follow me on Twitter/Facebook because we are playing it by ear right now. We are still shooting the videos for the DVD and I'm directing.
LAHHE: Are you doing casting and everything?
Big Hutch: I write the scripts, casting, produce and have a film crew come out to film. We just finished "Lord Have Mercy." As the videos come out and as you learn the record you'll see the story. I learned that from Eazy, how to put a project together, trying to get that "wow." Funny thing about art is you can throw a lot of money at a bad idea and it'll be ok, a good idea only takes a little money. I remember when Ruthless was one little room with two desks and Eazy would follow tour buses in an Astro van. My whole drive is to create a new business front for urban music, not just the West Coast.
LAHHE: What other artists do you have on West World?
Big Hutch: Recently me and Hazmadic did a poetry record, ["Take U Under"] like spoken word. He wanted to do something different, cutting edge but still gangsta. Music doesn't have to be typical ever. What's typical when a man puts his heart in his music? That's extraordinary. We have Hazmadic's album about 40% done. We will start recording Dirt Bags and Royal Krown later this year (two of those guys are in my band) then LeVert II, a new RnB singer is coming this fall on Big Shot.
LAHHE: Are you producing all of their albums as well?
Big Hutch: I'm real head strong about letting artists be artists. People laugh when I say "I'm a Creative Executive." But I know when to be creative and when to be the executive. Hazmadic's album is produced by me, Royal Krown is producing themselves and Dirt Bags' album will be produced by the staff of producers at West World. My focus is to help everyone else. I really care, I love what I'm doing. When I see cats that can't get deals or don't have a game plan...the East Coast and down South have that, but Eazy is gone, Suge is gone. I only want to be an artist when I want to be an artist. I learned that from Eazy, he was like "I'm not here to tell you how to be Above the Law." I want to be the new young mogul that cares about the music.

Mike Reed, 21, did not take his talent to South Beach, but he did take his talent to the beach on the board walk at Bally's Hotel and Casino and came away with a unanimous decision over Alberto Morales. All 3 judges scored the bout 60-53. Reed was fighting for the first time away from home as a pro and said he was not the least bit nervous, "Absolutely not. Once I am in that ring, I fight the same", says Reed. What was not the same, was his opponent. Morales was tall and came into the fight almost 3 pounds over the limit of 140.
"I think he was the toughest opponent so far. He was tall and very durable and strong, so all in all, yeah, he was the toughest", admits Reed. Morales,11-4-1, was a little tentative in round 1 and Reed established his intent to pound the body as he always does. Round 2 saw Morales get more aggressive and put some pressure on Reed, but Mike took over late in round 2 and steadily worked the body. Round 3 saw Reed use more combinations from the body to the head and back to the body. Fans could see Morales slow down a little. Reed, 10-0, 6 KO's, continued to press the action by smothering Morales and showed his best defense, by slipping punches and blocking most of what Morales was throwing. In round 5, Reed rocked Morales and sent him retreating across the ring and in round 6, Reed caught Morales with a left hook from the top. Morales never saw the punch and hit the canvas with a thud.
"I followed the game plan exactly. You heard dad stay "stay off the line", which means move my head and get off of that straight line." Ring side fans could also hear his dad and trainer, Mike Pinson say the words "Chop, chop" over and over. "It means to throw the counter punch as a high hook, which is the punch that knocked Morales down. Opponents have a hard time seeing that punch", says Pinson. Morales never saw that "high hook". "That punch comes from an unusual angle and it does a lot of damage", explains Pinson, who marveled at his son's defense. "I tell him if he doesn't get hit, he can do the damage that you see he can put on his opponent". Please subscribe and keep up with the undefeated Mike Reed

Purge Movie Reviews
User reviews on Purge
I really enjoyed the purge a whole lot! This movie give you another look at what life would be like without laws. Pretty scary.... kinda of makes you appreciate these laws. if i had to give a rating on the purge i would give it 4 ???? stars! I also would recommend the purge to anyone over the age of 18. I can't wait for Purge 2. (hint,hint)
I'm not writing a review of this or any movie my comment is about this feature of the web page.
Fantastic is all i can say i really enjoy reading the reviews here and yup sure enuf most of them are pretty accurate, insightful and entertaining. So people keep up the good work and thanks for saving me a buck50 and 2 1/2 hours (driving time included) but mostly confirming my hunch on whether to see a movie or not, and i do watch a lot of them, sometimes just because they get panned for the very reasons that i enjoy them.
I hope they keep this feature here its a valuable part of the menu here.
I do not enjoy watching violence on the big screen or for that matter on any screen, however I was intrigued by the trailer of this film and decided to see it. I thought the film was alright and I did find the theme interesting, however there was a lot of silliness in the film that was hard for me to stomach. I did think that it was a pretty good suspenser and the tension was sustained throughout the whole move. The film was also pretty original and thought-provoking and I really liked that about this movie, also it was truly terrifying. Overall, this film is pretty fresh and interesting and I think that it is worth seeing in the theaters.
I really enjoyed watching this film and I think it is worth seeing on the big screen. I found the film to be suspenseful, thought-provoking, terrifying, and pretty original. I think my favorite thing about this film was the fact that it was clever and the way it takes some bad elements from our own time - fear of racial minorities, envy of wealth, needless aggression and gun crime - slightly exaggerates them and projects them into the near future. The film is very engaging and I was on the edge of my seat throughout entire running time and trust me, it is pretty rare. Overall, I recommend seeing this film in the theaters, you will be pleasantly surprised by how good it is.
The Purge is one of those movies that, while novel and intermittently fascinating, leaves you with a crushing sense of hopelessness for humanity. The premise is as follows: in a future, relatively utopian society, the government has come to the conclusion that the best way to curb crime is to allow the citizenry one night of utter lawlessness. All law enforcement is suspended and anyone and everyone is free to wreak whatever havoc they want to – theft, murder, rape, kidnapping, it's all allowed for a precious few 12 hours until law is restored. The rationale is to let everyone "get it out of their systems" so they can go back to being controlled for the rest of the year.
Interesting? Yes. But then the movie decides to get all claustrophobic on us by centering on the character of Ethan Hawke who plays a dutiful father and husband named James. He works in the security industry and he and his family spend this 12 hour period each year in lockdown, hiding from the marauders outside. A criminal somehow manages to get inside their home and the family has to decide what to do when a gang of mass murdering lunatics show up to reclaim their lost disciple. It's all very creepy and disquieting – and you'll be glad it's just a movie.
Compelling in parts, yes, but ultimately substantially less impressive than its premise promises early on. Strictly for Ethan Hawke's cult of diehard fans.
Great action packed suspense thriller movie. What would you do if your family and /or someone needed help was in a crisis? You would do everything in your power to protect, help, and save them. Be your own person and make a huge impact. Do the right thing. Forget others who may be greedy, evil, jealous, and selfish. Learn how to say,change, and do something. Be a leader not a follower. Go see this movie.

**Note: Update below**
The very title of this Daily Caller article is maddening. "Maryland school district outlaws hugging, homemade food, pushing kids on swings." As a mother, my head is seriously about to explode. It's bad enough a child was traumatized after an inquisition into his pop-tart art. The poor child was making a mountain for God's sake! Now this??
The public education system in Maryland has officially gone off the deep end.
The Old Line State — where kids have been suspended for making guns with their fingers and with toaster pastries — now boasts a school district that prohibits hugging and homemade food in public elementary schools for anyone except a parent's own children.
Parents must also register to enter the playground and they can't push anyone except their own kids on the swings.
Read the whole thing at The Daily Caller. My God, gone off the deep end indeed. So grateful my youngest child is a senior in September and only has one more year in the public school system.
Update #1: A Facebook friend, who happens to be a parent of a child at this same school wrote the superintendent and received this response from him. It seems there has been some exaggeration by the media, go figure. Here in the blogosphere, we don't let others define our narrative, we report the truth, so here you go.
At the March 13, 2013 Board of Education Meeting, our Executive Director of Elementary Schools and Title I, Mrs. Kelly Hall and our Director of School Safety and Security, Mr. Michael Wyant, delivered an informational report to Board Members about the results of a parent, principal and staff member study group for ways to improve our school visitation policy and regulations. During the presentation to the Board, many examples of concerns were cited and shared that were discussed in the study group. Some of the examples that were stated ranged from concerns with homemade treats and snacks to concerns about appropriate and proper interactions with children (specifically a stated parent concern was voiced regarding visitors, volunteers or strangers interacting or hugging their child). Unfortunately, these examples were sensationalized by the local, Washington and Baltimore, national, on-line media and social networks. Let me assure you, that the St. Mary's County Public Schools is not banning hugging or homemade treats. However, we are raising the awareness of safety issues and the need to provide more guidance and training to our parents and volunteers. We want to ensure that our parents and volunteers are held to the same high standard as our staff by communicating clear guidance and expectations for working and volunteering with children.
Also, we need to raise the awareness of concerns with all food provided to our children in a school setting. In this day and age, many of our children have food allergies. We want to ensure that we are aware of the ingredients contained in all food items distributed to our children so we can prevent any health concerns for students with food allergies. What this all boils down to is providing clear, consistent and common sense guidance and training designed to further keep our young people safe.
During the next several months, the information from the study group will be shared with parents in our schools. The feedback from these groups will guide the development of the policy that the Board of Education will consider, the regulations that support the implementation of the policy for the 2013-2014 school year and the additional training and communications to our parents and volunteers about this topic.
I am sorry and disappointed that the original public message was distorted and caused any concern or confusion for our parents and community. You can trust that a practical, realistic and common sense approach will occur that raises the awareness of ways to keep our children safe and secure while balancing out a positive school environment and experience that nurtures and cares for all of our children.

Ellen and Portia to renew wedding vows in Australia
According to reports in OK Magazine, the world's most famous lesbian, Ellen DeGeneres plans to renew her wedding vows to wife Portia De Rossi in Australia this August.
The interview in OK suggests DeGeneres and De Rossi have chosen Sydney as the location to renew their vows as they want to help the push for same-sex marriage in Australia.
"They want it to be in Sydney because the city has a big gay population, and they want to help spur the acceptance of gay marriage...[Plus] they both agree that it's time they went over to see Portia's family and friends," said the source.
It's rumoured the ceremony will take place on August 16, the couple's sixth wedding anniversary. An insider close to the duo said the pair were renewing their vows as a way to show their recommitment to one another.
Recently the couples have been plagued with rumours of a split with headlines suggesting their relationship is in trouble. According to the inside source, by renewing their vows the pair hope to quash the rumours.

The ongoing epidemic of childhood obesity is jeopardizing the health and future well-being of our children. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, it is both a national and local problem. Since the 1970s, national childhood obesity rates have tripled. In Los Angeles County, more than 1 in 5 students in the fifth, seventh, and ninth grades are now obese. A comprehensive analysis released on May 15 by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), an environmental health research and advocacy organization, found that many breakfast cereals are loaded with sugar.
The investigators analyzed 1,556 cereals, including 181 marketed for children; they found that most contain so much sugar that someone eating an average serving of a typical children's cereal would consume more than 10 pounds of sugar a year from that source alone. A typical serving of these cereals can contain as much sugar as three Chips Ahoy! or two Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies. EWG noted that their study found that children enjoy eating low-sugar cereals; however, the supermarket cereal aisle offers few such products. In addition, they found that children's cereals with cartoon characters on the box are among the most highly sweetened of all.
In addition to the new analysis, a smaller sample of 84 popular children's cereals were previously evaluated in 2011 were reanalyzed. This analysis found that while a few of manufacturers lowered the sugar content of 11 cereals in that sample, the vast majority are still too sweet to be healthy: they averaged two teaspoons per serving. One cereal added even more sugar. Not one of the 10 cereals with the highest sugar content on EWG's 2011 list had a decreased its sugar content.
The EWG notes that cereals can provide important nutrients that children need during critical times of growth and development; however, the added sugar detracts from its nutritional value. A much healthier choice would be unsweetened whole-grain hot cereals such as oatmeal with fruit on top; this breakfast meal would provide a rich source of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals without any empty calories. Unfortunately, hot cereals require additional prep time, which is a problem for busy families. The reality, however, is that hot cereals can be less convenient for busy families; however, with a little extra planning, providing healthier cereals can be shoehorned into a busy morning routine.
EWG found that on average, 34% of the calories in children's cereals come from sugar. For most of these cereals, a single serving contains more than a third of what experts recommend children consume in an entire day. For 40 cereals, a single serving exceeds 60% of the daily amount of sugar suggested by healthcare advocacy groups. Some cereals contain as many as six different types of sweeteners.
AT a casual glance, the typical supermarket cereal aisle appears to be full of choices, the analysts found that there were very few low-sugar options, particularly among cereals marketed for children. Among the 181 products examined, not one was free of added sugars. EWG also discovered that promotional labeling on cereal boxes is designed to distract consumers from focusing on the unhealthy sugar content; this is done by making claims that the product provides important nutrients, such as "Excellent Source of Vitamin D" or "Good Source of Fiber." The labels on seven of the 10 children's cereals with the highest sugar content in EWG's 2011 cereal report currently feature a marketing claim promoting their nutrient content.
Take home message:
The suggestion to feed your children health hot cereals is a good one. With some planning, it can be accomplished in a busy household. As a general rule of thumb, avoid cereals with cartoon characters. Read cereal labels thoroughly and try to ferret out the healthiest choices among the myriad of sugar-loaded junk cereals.

Hi guys, just a new LG user here. How is LG when it comes to SW update? Are the updates through OTA only or any PC or laptop application like Sony's PC Companion or Sony Update Service? And does LG carry the newest UI and apps they have on their latest phone like G3's flat UI carrying over to let's say G2 on a SW update like how Sony and Samsung are doing? Sorry really have no ideas when it comes to LG. Please bear with my noob questions.

JWC TO KATE STERLING; 22 December 1851; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18511222-JWC-KS-01; CL 26: 278-279
The Grange / Monday [22 December 1851]
Dearest Kate
It seems a great great while—beyond the memory of man—since I got your darling letter. And yet I have been here but three weeks, and certainly it wasn't in the first week, that I heard from you.
The fact is I have taken so much morphine (not at my own hand, this time, but by Dr's prescription) that I am losing all clear ideas on Time and everything else—
Yes—about the Captain1—I dare say I do know as much as you can tell me. I, for my share, found him much "saner"—perhaps, just because he was not particularly indisposed to be friends with me. There was little time to go on so we made it up quickly—but when Mr C took it into his head—out of a spirit of contradiction one might almost think—to ask "the Colonel" to dinner; I dont believe either the Colonel or I had a notion whether we should speak to one another! For me, I did as I always do, I committed myself to the impulse of the moment, whatever that might be; and my first impulses (Mazzini says[)] are always good—my second "less good—indeed—what shall I say?—bad—upon my honour."
The only subject we argued a little about was his "nieces"— Since he had made up with me why on earth go on quarrelling with you whose greatest misconduct, so far as I could make out, had been to "most undutifully" take my part—("You see—when you thought proper to quarrel with me; they took your part!! and it was exceedingly undutiful of them!!"——) Had I had time however I shouldn't have despaired of bringing him to see the right—and to do him justice— only let him once see it; and no man goes more instantaneously and determinedly a head in doing it. He is reconciled to Geraldine too— She having utterly forgotten what their quarrel was all about; he told her every particular as if it had happened the day before!—
This day week we go home. I shant be sorry; for living constantly in the presence of my fellow creatures gets to be dreadfully fatiguing to me, used as I am to solitude— My pleasantest hours are when I cut away by myself into the woods— A dreadful treason to utter against the brilliant company here assembled!— When one is young one thinks one could never tire of Poets and Artists and all that sort of thing!—but I am at a point, I find, when I would often take more satisfaction in what the old Lady used to call "a plain human cretur"— My Dear! HUMAN creturs, are the rarest creturs nowadays—and the best; depend upon it—
a kiss to Julia— Bless you my dears
Your affectionate
J W Carlyle

The website for Pilot Mountain State Park in Pinnacle, North Carolina describes a wild, picturesque National Natural Landmark. The weathered dome atop the mountain's peak, often featured in photographs throughout the state, represents a place where one can enjoy typical outdoor recreation activities like fishing and hiking.
The North Carolina General Assembly may add another activity to Pilot Mountain's roster: car racing.
Legislation currently in the Senate clerk's office - S 38, "Amend Environmental Laws 2014" - would allow people to petition the state secretaries of Environment and Natural Resources or Agriculture and Consumer Services for waivers to the speed limits in state parks or forests, respectively. The law also allows the secretaries to impose conditions on the waiver, requires the petitioners to obtain insurance of up to $3,000,000 and prevents them from holding the departments liable for resulting problems.
The provisions, included in a longer "omnibus" bill addressing wetlands, plant takings, fertilizers, energy audits, venomous snakes and other issues, resulted from a failed effort by Shelton Vineyards co-owner Ed Shelton to apply for a convention of the Triumph Vintage Register in Surry County. The permit request for a "hill climb" up Pilot Mountain required the mountain's closure and was denied.
Shelton, one of the fundraisers for the park's purchase, then apparently pushed for the addition of the speed limit language in S 38, although, according to Shelton, "There were no political favors. This is more of a community event."
Editorials published by the Winston-Salem Journal and Charlotte Observer both denounced the legislation on Tuesday. The Observer notes that a rural road elsewhere in the county can already be used.
North Carolina Sierra Club State Director Molly Diggins said a permit granted under the bill, "Shuts the public out of their own park. And it would appear to shut them out of the process."
Convention coordinator Steve Ward disagreed, saying, "We're doing it on a weekday, not a weekend, and it's not in the summertime so we didn't think it would impact the public as much."
Harry Wilson, a cyclist who organized annual fundraising rides covering three mountains including Pilot, eventually stopped scheduling events partly because of the inability to restrict traffic. However, his comments regarding S 38 were that, "This is politics and money over rules and regulations."
An assistant environmental secretary countered criticism of the speed limit measure, saying, "We're going to expose some well-heeled people to a beautiful part of North Carolina."
Perhaps in validation of this statement, an employee of Shelton Vineyards recently placed a permit application with a $1,000 check.

Jessica Marais
Benoni, South Africa
"This industry takes a toll on your personal life, and I'm still learning a lot about how I have to balance that."
- Jessica Marais
Some of Hollywood's most beloved actresses come from Australia -- Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett and Naomi Watts, to name a few. So excuse us for being bold, when we suggest that Australia's latest ingenue Jessica Marais -- star of the popular dramedy Packed To The Rafters -- will be next in a long line of Aussie women to have their way with Tinseltown.
Jessica Marais BiographyThough Jessica Marais is an Australian actress first and foremost, the talented young star was actually born in Charlize Theron's hometown of Benoni, South Africa, and spent time in Canada and New Zealand before ultimately moving to Perth when she was 9. She had to deal with tragedy very early in life when her diplomat father died suddenly, leaving Marais, her mother and her sister to fend for themselves. She attended John XXIII College, then St. Hilda's Anglican School for Girls where she began acting at an early age.
Marais earned rave reviews for her performance as "Ichneumon Fly" in a 2002 production of The Insect Play, a performance that helped her secure a coveted spot in Sydney's National Institute of Dramatic Art whose graduates include Cate Blanchett, Mel Gibson and Emilie de Ravin.

The Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC) is a chemokine-binding protein that is expressed on erythrocytes and renal endothelial cells. DARC-mediated endothelial transcytosis of chemokines may facilitate the renal recruitment of macrophages and T cells, as has been suggested for neutrophils. We studied the role of Darc in two mouse models of prolonged renal inflammation, one that primarily involves the tubulointerstitium (unilateral ureteral obstruction), and one that requires an adaptive immune response that leads to glomerulonephritis (accelerated nephrotoxic nephritis). Renal expression of Darc and its ligands was increased in both models. Leukocytes effectively infiltrated obstructed kidneys in Darc-deficient mice with pronounced T-cell infiltration at early time points. Development of interstitial fibrosis was comparable in both genotypes. Nephrotoxic nephritis was inducible in Darc-deficient mice, with both an increased humoral immune response and functional impairment during the early phase of disease. Leukocytes efficiently infiltrated kidneys of Darc-deficient mice, with increased cell numbers at early but not late time points. Taken together, renal inflammation developed more rapidly in DARC-deficient mice, without affecting the extent of renal injury at later time points. Thus, genetic elimination of Darc in mice does not prevent the development of renal infiltrates and may even enhance such development during the early phases of interstitial and glomerular diseases in mouse models of prolonged renal inflammation.

Medina County Commissioner Stephen Hambley has rewritten history. Or he's added to it, at least.
The Brunswick resident has been working on his "Timeline of Medina County History" since the early 1990s. This week, he released his first update in three years.
The book recaps events — historical and natural — in the county, state and throughout the country from prehistoric times to modern day.
Hambley said the timeline helps history buffs "relate local events with national and state events. We're not isolated. People can see that things that happened nationally happened at the same time in Medina County."
Hambley, who has a doctorate from The University of Akron in history, said the book has been a work in progress ever since its first edition more than 15 years ago. He said he adds to the timeline as he receives more information about the county's history and as history is made.
New in this year's edition is a township table of the county's first settlers. It also includes a list of the historic statewide officeholders from Medina County.
Hambley said he's added a lot of photos and diagrams that he's come across since the book's last update.
Some of the recent history that made Hambley's timeline includes the Medina County Park District's purchase of the 360-acre site of Chippewa Lake in 2007, county voters' May 2007 approval of a 5 percent sales tax to benefit schools, and the opening of the Medina County University Center in Lafayette Township in 2008.
The 51-page book is available on the county's Web site, www.co.medina.oh.us. Hambley said some of the Medina County District Library branches have copies of it in circulation.
The book is dedicated to Hambley's late wife and former Brunswick councilwoman Sue Hambley, who died in November 2008 due to complications from muscular dystrophy.
"Her passing in late 2008 diminished our lives and community, but our futures are better for her boundless faith, courage and dedication," the dedication reads.

Rumors are flying that Channing Tatum and his wife Jenna Dewan are getting a divorce. This actor and his gorgeous wife are doing just fine though regardless of what you are hearing today. On Wednesday, Gossip Cop shared that this is a rumor and there is no truth to it at all. There is no reason for fans to believe that they are done.
The original report came out on Star magazine. They have been known more than once to make up fake stories. It is a great way to sell magazines but it doesn't get them a lot of fans. Their report says that Channing Tatum has been drinking and partying too much and that their 3 year marriage is over, but that is not true. They are still doing just fine.
Reps for Channing and Dewan are speaking out about it and saying that this is a total lie. Their marriage is fine and it is disappointing that someone would make up fake news like this about this happy couple. Fans are glad to hear this news.
Now Channing Tatum did leave his wife for a short time though. According to UP Roxx he will be on a new show that Bear Grylls has been making that will air this summer. It is called "Running Wild With Bear Grylls." Channing only left his wife for a short time to film the show.
Channing Tatum, Zac Efron, and Ben Stiller are all going to be on this show. Deion Sanders, Tom Arnold and "Today" anchor Tamron Hall will also be on the show. They go out into the woods for 48 hours and have to find a way to survive. It will start airing on July 28 on NBC. There will only be six episodes of this show unless it has a huge following and they decide to make more later on.

GR8 Water: Treasure Coast company makes water out of air
STUART, Fla. - A half-million people in Toledo, Ohio went without drinking water for days due to toxins in Lake Erie. In South Florida, there are occasional boil water advisories and problems with running water during hurricanes. A business on the Treasure Coast is being tapped by countries and communities worldwide to combat water problems and pull water out of air.
GR8 Water designs and sells machines that are what CEO Scott Tudor would call, "dehumidifiers on steroids." They use heat and moisture to pool water then purify it for drinking.
"It's almost like distilled water, there's no vitamins, there's no minerals in it, there's no fluoride, there's no chemicals, there's no chlorine. It's 99.9% pure," Tudor said.
He says the machines are now in countries around the world.
"We have machines in Mexico and some of the schools down there, and also believe it or not, in a prison environment."
The machines are used in residential, commercial, and emergency community situations.
"We have machines in Chile, South Pacific, Guam, and we have some machines now going pretty soon to Ghana," Tudor explained.
A medium-sized model creates about 800 gallons of drinkable water a day. It's enough to offer drinking water for a small village of about 1,000 people.
The smallest version resembles a water cooler one might expect to see in a business lobby. It purifies about 7 gallons of water a day. With electricity, water is about 26 cents a gallon. The machines are capable of running off a generator, which may be beneficial during hurricanes, according to Tudor.

Over the years I've taken countless wildlife photographs. I've never printed many of them, so I decided to create this book. The photographs are organized based on the location in which they were taken. Locations vary from Colorado to Maine and the Texas Gulf Coast to the plains of New Mexico. I hope you enjoy looking through this book as much as I enjoyed taking the photographs that are in it!
I grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast and moved away to College Station where I received my degree in Chemical Engineering. After graduating from college I moved to the Texas Panhandle to begin my first full-time job. Photography became a passion of mine when I began co-oping during my junior year of college. Living in a city where I knew nobody forced me to figure out different ways to entertain myself during the evenings. Photography quickly became my "go-to" hobby when I needed something to eat up extra time. I no longer have time that needs to be eaten up; however, photography is still my favorite hobby and will, likely, always be.

|thorny olive
|Elaeagnus pungens Thunb.
|Synonym(s): thorny elaeagnus, silverthorn, spotted elaeagnus
Thorny olive is a dense evergreen shrub that invades natural areas throughout the southeastern United States. The shrub is often multi-stemmed and short. Sharp shoots give it a thorny appearance. Shrubs can grow 3.3-26.3 ft. (1-8 m) tall. Shrubs are usually very dense with long shoots extending from the top. The leaves are alternate, oval to elliptical, with irregular wavy margins and silvery surfaces, 2-4 in. (5.1-10.2 cm) in length and thick. The axillary clusters of small, sweet-smelling, white to brown flowers develop in the fall. Plants rarely fruit, but fruit are small, red and dotted with small brown scales. Thorny olive closely resembles two other exotic olives, autumn olive and Russian olive. A high shade tolerance allows thorny olive to invade both in open areas and under forest canopies. The seeds are dispersed by animals, giving this plant the potential for rapid spread. Thorny olive is native to eastern Asia and was first introduced into the United States in 1830 as an ornamental.

Celebrating Pet Therapy show the process of creating a 26 foot wall mosaic wall done over 15 months by over 60 artists of the Austin Mosaic Guild. From rainy day idea to brick, mortar and glorious glass wall, see how the project evolved into a gem of Dell Children's Healing Garden.
Graphic designer and long time Delta Society pet therapy handler, I was able to combine interests in the creation of the wall and book. As a member of the Austin Mosaic Guild, I was able to tap the talent of over 60 artists. Dianne Sonnenberg, nationally acclaimed professional mosaic artist was the dream co-chair and with her we were able to produce a 26 long wall of art related to pet therapy. I hope you like this book about our project.
