My interest in the classical guitar was first as a player, but the challenge of working with wood lured me away from my career in physics and engineering to study instrument making full time. I studied Musical Instrument Technology at the London Guildhall University (formerly the London College of Furniture) under David Whiteman, and then specialised in classical guitar making at Newark College with Roy Courtnall and Tony Johnson.
Many of the skills acquired from my previous career are of equal importance in building handmade classical guitars, such as precision measurements and attention to detail. A scientific approach can be useful, although in making a fine guitar, I believe there are limits to how far this can be taken. Ultimately there is no substitute for the experience, feel and ear of a good maker.
I also teach classical guitar making two days a week at Newark College in Nottinghamshire.
My principal aim as is to build guitars that are sensitive to the touch, to allow the player to express their own musicality, and not be dominated by the character of the guitar or the luthier. The tone of the best classical guitars is determined by the player as well as the guitar itself. I always aim to make guitars that I would be happy to own and play myself.
Built mainly in the Spanish tradition, most of my guitars are made to a consistent design based on a 1938 Hauser, but incorporating my own aesthetic ideas, and a slightly modified strutting pattern.
The guitars are light and responsive, with good clarity and separation. My aim is for good balance across the strings, and a warm sound, but to allow the player to produce a brighter tone when required. The guitars also have a good balance between the fundamental note and the overtones, producing a sustain with a smooth decay.
Ease of playing is an important consideration, and is achieved by attention to detail in shaping the neck, finishing the fingerboard and frets, and accurate setting of the action, which can be set to meet the particular needs of the player.
The visual aspect of my guitars is relatively simple, allowing the grain and colour of the particular woods used to determine the visual impact of the guitar. Traditional finishes are used, either French polish or oil finish, which enhance the natural beauty of the wood, without compromising the tone.
Top quality European spruce is used for the front, and normally Indian rosewood for the back and sides. Alternative tonewoods available include maple (flamed or Bird's eye), Ziricote, Walnut, Honduran rosewood, Macassar Ebony and Brazilian rosewood. Spanish cedar (Cedrilla) or mahogany can be specified for the neck, Indian or Brazilian rosewood for the bridge, and ebony for the fingerboard.
My bridges now use a twelve hole tie-block as standard, although 6- or 18-hole tie blocks are an option. All of my guitars now incorporate as standard a graphite-epoxy re-inforcing bar to improve the stability of the neck, without adding any weight, or changing the external appearance.
Soundports, 20th frets, and pickup/pre-amp systems can now be specified on any of my guitars. I am also working on an adjustable neck design, which I can now offer as an option.
I also make handmade flamenco guitars, normally based on those of Santos Hernandez. Cypress is used for the back and sides, although rosewood is an option. Traditional peg tuners can be fitted if required (ebony or rosewood), and transparent golpeador plates are fitted to protect the top. These guitars are very light and responsive, and have a lower action, and lower string height at the bridge. My aim with the flamenco guitars is to produce an instrument which is easy to play, and which has a fast attack, but less sustain. Visit Gallery 4 for images of a cypress flamenco guitar, with ebony peg tuners and Danish oil finish.

Environmentalists applaud President Barack Obama for including the fight on climate change in his State of the Union address Tuesday, but most wanted stronger, bolder plans.
Citing the president's own scientists' announcement last week the fourth hottest year on record was 2013, while predicting the average global temperature could rise by 10 degrees by 2100, causing devastating impacts on biodiversity and mankind.
"The climate crisis warrants courage and visionary boldness that transcends the politics of the day," said Kierán Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity. "President Obama has to leave his comfort zone and take action against the planet-warming pollution spewing from our tailpipes and smokestacks. He must set a national cap for carbon pollution, toughen power plant rules to achieve meaningful emission reductions, and reject dangerous Arctic drilling and the dirty Keystone pipeline."
Obama gave climate change a brief mention in his speech:
"But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact. (Applause.) And when our children's children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say yes, we did. (Cheers, applause.)"
But Michael Brune, Sierra Club Executive Director, claimed Obama was trying to have it both ways on climate and energy when he talked about the success of his "All the above" plan, by pointing out that natural gas is "the bridge fuel that can power our economy with less of the carbon pollution that causes climate change." He also said, "I'll use my authority to protect more of our pristine federal lands for future generations."
The president can't drill and frack the nation's way out of "the climate hole we're in," said Brune, while acknowledging the president's progress on solar energy and smaller steps he's taken to curb carbon pollution through the Environmental Protection Agency.
However, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) was more optimistic about Obama's SOTUS speech, which she applauded in her statement for his call to raise the minimum wage, attention to education and immigration reform.
"The American people are expecting their elected officials to work together to tackle these issues, and many more, over the coming months and years," said Murray. "I am ready to keep working to build on the bipartisan budget deal, and I hope Republicans are ready to join me at the table."
"Unless President Obama changes course, he will help usher in an era of climate chaos," said Suckling. "The president must confront the big polluters mortgaging our children's future by contaminating our atmosphere with carbon emissions, racking up a climate debt that will impose horrific costs on future generations."
The Center listed the top five actions Obama could take to implement a stronger plan on climate change:
1. Create a national cap on carbon pollution
2. Strengthen Power Plant Pollution Rules
3. Push to end subsidies for oil companies
4. Reject the Keystone XL pipeline and other dangerous energy projects
5. Ban fracking and end fossil fuel development on public lands

Three Atlantic disturbances emerge in late October
Whoever it was that said the tropics are slowing down must have been out of his gourd.
Umm, wait a minute. That was me.
Anyway, as of 2 p.m. on Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center was monitoring not one, not two but three disturbances, all in the Atlantic — an unlikely place for tropical development in late October.
Florida probably doesn't need to be concerned about any of them, senior hurricane specialist Jack Beven said. On the other hand, he recommends that residents monitor their progress, "just in case."
One is a low-pressure area about 1,200 miles northwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Models indicate it will aim northeast, posing a possible threat to the Azores — or Europe.
Another area is about 650 miles northeast of the Leeward Islands, a region where subtropical storms can emerge late in the season. The hurricane center gives it a 20 percent chance of developing over the next two days.
Beven said there is "very little chance" that it will threaten the Florida coastline because it already is considerably to the north and because a series of cold fronts and low-pressure troughs likely would deflect it.
The third disturbance is a strong tropical wave about 1,200 miles southeast of the Windward Islands, moving northwest at 15 to 20 mph.
Although it was given a 10 percent chance of spinning up over the next two days, some slow development is possible beyond that, forecasters said.
"It's too early to tell what, if any, threat it could be to the United States down the road," Beven said, adding that it, too, likely would have to battle through cold fronts and troughs before it could reach Florida.
How unusual is to have three disturbances in the Atlantic in late October? Beven couldn't say. But he noted that in 2005, there were two active storms in the tropics at this time of year.

Right-dominant handedness is unique and universal in Homo sapiens, suggesting that it is a highly derived trait. Our nearest living relations, chimpanzees, show lateralised hand preference when using tools, but not when otherwise manipulating objects. We report the first contrary data, that is, non-lateralised tool-use, for ant fishing as done in the Mahale Mountains of Tanzania. Unlike nut cracking, termite fishing, and fruit pounding, as seen elsewhere, in which most individuals are either significantly or wholly left- or right-biassed, ant fishers are mostly ambilateral. The clue to this exception lies in arboreality; all other patterns of chimpanzee elementary technology are done on the ground. Arboreal tool use usually requires not only that one hand be used to hold the tool, but also that the other hand gives postural support. When the supporting hand is fatigued, then it must be relieved by the other. Terrestrial tool use entails no such trading off. To test the hypothesis, we compared frequency of hand changing with the incidence of major hand support, and found them to be significantly positively correlated. The evolutionary transition from arboreality to terrestriality may have been a key enabler for the origins of human laterality.

Duration: 1hr 43min
A disturbed-looking woman named Anna enters a Paris apartment building where white-collar professionals conduct business from their homes. The concierge--whose chronic involvement in a dopey soap opera is a wink to the melodrama at work in ordinary lives--tells her that Dr. Monnier's practice is on the fifth floor. Anna takes the elevator, chooses a door and is admitted by William, whose secretary has left for the day. Obviously upset, Anna explains it's an emergency. With minimum prompting from William, she quickly reveals she's been married for four years and works in an upscale luggage boutique. Her husband is unemployed, and, although their love life was formerly quite satisfying, they haven't had sex for six months. She thinks she's going crazy. Talking seems to make Anna feel better and she spontaneously proposes a date and time for their next appointment. She then leaves without having given her name or phone number. Later, William explains his predicament to ex-wife Jeanne; the audience discovers that although he does have a couch in his office and there was a book about psychoanalysis on his desk, William is actually a financial planner specializing in tax problems. Psychiatrist Dr. Monnier, whom Anna meant to see, has an office a few doors down on the same floor. Jeanne, who's traded in the unassuming and fastidious William for outgoing hulk Luc, tells her former love that he must come clean. But although William does his level best to remedy the misunderstanding, Anna doesn't let him get a word in edgewise on her subsequent visit as she spills ever more intimate details about her private life.

I'm quite anal about form validation. So while creating a validator for a "data of birth" (DOB) field in one of my current projects for a job application form (platform/language is neutral in this context), I wanted something to prevent 'punky' inputs.
I used a date picker and restricted the max date to be XX years from the current day. XX make sense for this scenario as anyone younger shouldn't be even applying for the job.
The validation error message is: You seem too young for the job.
Then I began to get adventurous. How about?
If DOB is more than 120 years ago, message: "You cannot be that old!!!"
If DOB is in the future, message: "You must be kidding, you are not born yet!!!"
In the end, I deployed without the last 2, too cheeky for my no-nonsense client.
I would like to know how far/much would you guys go to validate DOB fields for good usability (or humor)?
Similarly for dates like, "Date of marriage", "Year of graduation" etc...
PS: As I was about to submit this post, there's a warning under the title textbox: "The question you're asking appears subjective and is likely to be closed." Fingers crossed.
To add: I'm quite surprised that some/most of the guys are not too concern about the validation. I repeat one of my comments here:
If the user entered the date wrongly (something very obvious) whether by intent or by mistake; that's one of the purposes of the validators to catch it. When data goes into the system, the site owner only know the input is wrong, he/she would not know the actual value without asking the user. If this field is highly important, it will not be a pretty scenario.

Medical waste hazards include used medical gloves, bloody bandages, used blood glucose test strips, syringes, lancets, needles and sharps or anything that has come in contact with human blood, body fluids, or human feces or what is commonly know as human waste for the digestive system.
The problem with household medical waste or medical waste from health care facilities, hospitals, medical first responders, or industrial medical waste is the way the medical waste hazards are disposed of, and to insure the medical wast is disposed of properly.
To prevent pollution and environmental waste hazards like illnesses to the general public, injury to sanitation workers, housekeepers, children, septic tanks, sewer systems, drinking water supply, fish, marine organisms, and our surrounding environment, people need to learn how to properly dispose of toxic and deadly medical waste hazards.
The improper way of handling the disposal of household medical waste is to throw used medical gloves, bloody bandages, used blood glucose test strips, syringes, lancets, needles or sharps into household garbage bags, flush down a toilet, or poured down a sink or tub drain.
The proper way to handle household medical wast hazards can be accomplished by following the the simple steps below.
1) Always place syringes, lancets, needles or sharps into a any type puncture resistant resealable, disposable household container such as a empty laundry detergent bottle, metal coffee can, or empty bleach bottle.
2) Mark (Do Not Recycle) on the container with a marker that you choose to use for these type items.
3) Do not attempt to recap, bend or break needles before putting them into the hazardous material container you made, just pick up the syringes, lancets, needles or sharps by the blunt end and drop them into the hazardous material container and replace the top by screwing the top on hand tight.
4) Once the hazardous material container you made is full,screw the top on tightly as possible, duct tape the cap and top of the bottle together, and then place the container into your regular plastic household garbage bag.
5) Place non sharp items like bloody bandages, dialysis machine filters, used blood glucose test strips,used medical gloves, or disposable sheets into a separate plastic garbage bag or a red bio-hazard bag just for these items.
Helpful Tips:
1) Make sure that all hazardous material containers are kept out of the reach of children and pets.
2) Place expired or no longer used medicines away somewhere safe or place them into the regular plastic household garbage bag in their original containers to be thrown away.
3) Never dispose of prescription medication or any other type medication by flushing it down a toilet, or pouring it down a sink or tub drain.
4) Purchase red bio-hazard bags and sharp containers or make you own.
5) Do a Google search in your area for medical waste removal companies.
6) Visit your local fire station to ask a firefighter, EMT, paramedic, or first responder how to handle household medical waste hazards.

The University of Arizona men's golf team was among a select group of collegiate programs honored with the Golf Coaches Association of America's (GCAA) Team Academic Award on Wednesday.
A total of 143 teams across all NCAA divisions, NAIA and NJCAA were recognized as having collective grade-point averages of 3.00 or higher, a new high in the five-year existence of the award.
"As a program, we've outlined goals that emphasize success in the classroom, as well as on the course," Arizona head men's golf coach Jim Anderson said. "Our team, from top to bottom, is committed to excelling in those areas. I couldn't be more proud of their body of work in the classroom over the last year."
To be eligible for GCAA All-Academic Team honors, an institution must submit GPAs for each player on its official squad list for the academic year.
Last week, rising senior Erik Oja and recently graduated Trent Redfern were honored by the GCAA as All-America Scholars. Student-athletes must carry a minimum GPA of 3.2 and meet other on and off-course requirements to garner those honors.
Both Oja and Redfern, along with rising junior Alex McMahon and rising senior Benson Liu, earned Pac-12 All-Academic honors earlier this spring in what has been a productive year in the classroom for Anderson's squad.
"Having two All-America Scholars this year is a great accomplishment, and I'm confident that we'll have more candidates in the years to come," Anderson said. "Erik and Trent led by example in the classroom this year, and that will filter down to our younger guys and really help us develop consistent academic success."The 2013-14 Arizona men's golf schedule is expected to be released in the near future. Follow @UAWildcatsGolf on Twitter for more information on the program.

Valentine's Day may be for lovers, but a group of Seventh-day Adventists from the Brooklyn South Staten Island Federation decided to mark the occasion by sharing God's love within their community.
Eager to put "love in action," the volunteers gathered at the Mamre Seventh-day Adventist Church in Brooklyn on Friday to prepare the 400 roses which were donated by the Church; Pastor Jose Cortes, Jr., the Director of Adventist Youth Ministries for the Atlantic Union Youth Conference; Dr. Simone English; and Thorly James. The roses which ranged in color from red to yellow were attached to a small card with a message of love from the Bible or a quote from an influential thinker.
In less than 30 minutes, all of the roses were distributed to passersby on Utica Avenue and Avenue H who were surprised but touched by the simple gesture which brought a smile to their faces.
This act of compassion is the first of many events, including a Stop the Hunger Walkathon the group will organize to meet the needs of their community.

On Friday The Oregonian reported the story of a 48-year-old man who stabbed a 16-year-old. The teenager had jumped his fence and was trying to steal some of the middle-aged man's pot plants. Now the man is facing charges of attempted murder, assault, possession of a firearm and unlawful manufacture of marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school.
According to the report, the man found the teenager in his backyard attempting to steal plants. They struggled and the man stabbed the teen multiple times in the chest and back. When neighbors saw the bloody teen stagger and collapse in the street, they called 911. When police arrived, the man barricaded himself in his home for hours before surrendering. The teen is now recovering at the hospital.
What's disturbing about the story is that the man, who is a registered medical marijuana patient, reportedly had more than 320 mature and 170 immature marijuana plants. As a medical marijuana patient, he's entitled legally to grow six mature and 18 immature plants.
No pot plant is ever worth another human's life. Shooting or stabbing a thief or building a booby trap to hurt someone is not only going to add serious charges if you're ever caught, your actions could hurt or kill you, like the New York man who decapitated himself earlier this month by driving his ATV through a piano wire booby trap he had set.
Of course, the real culprit here is marijuana prohibition. Under legalization this man's pot-growing business wouldn't be hidden in a residential neighborhood or defended by a paranoid guy with knives. After all, I haven't read any stories about a man stabbing a kid who was trying to steal his cases of home-brewed beer. And if anyone was sneaking in to raid the vast legal marijuana field, the farmer could just call the cops.

The Medina County Board of Elections wants to make sure it has enough workers to staff the polling places on Nov. 4.
"This is going to be a very busy election because it's the gubernatorial election, which is the second largest next to the presidential election," Elections Director Carol Lawler said. "We want to know we have a full staff of poll workers to make sure everything goes smoothly."
Poll workers earn $105 for an approximately 14-hour day — 5:45 a.m. to 8 p.m. Lawler said the pay, which works out to about $7.50 an hour, hasn't changed in several years.
Lawler said a minimum of 468 poll workers are needed to staff the county's 117 precincts.
Four people — no more than two of the same party — will be stationed at each precinct table. Duties include checking identification of voters, handing out ballots, finding voters on the registration list and directing them to where to cast their ballots.
"We have hundreds (of poll workers) in our database now, but not everyone can do it all at once because people's schedules change from year to year," Lawler said. "We can always use more poll workers."
Lawler said the board will send out assignments in mid-August to the workers in their database who then will either accept or decline.
"We try to assign people close to where they live," she said.
Lawler said the workers also will be paid $10 for a two-hour training session offered morning, afternoon and evening Sept. 10 to 18.
Standby poll workers who accept an assignment but who aren't needed on Election Day will receive $25.
Lawler said nonprofit organizations also can use the poll-working shift as a fundraising opportunity, by getting a group of members to work at the polls and donate the money they receive to their organization.
"The community service is part of what makes the $105 worth it," Lawler said.

Opinion 9.04 - Discipline and Medicine
Incompetence, corruption, or dishonest or unethical conduct on the part of members of the medical profession is reprehensible. In addition to posing a real or potential threat to patients, such conduct undermines the public's confidence in the profession. A physician should expose, without fear or loss of favor, incompetent or corrupt, dishonest, or unethical conduct on the part of members of the profession. Questions of such conduct should be reported and reviewed in accordance with Opinion 9.031, "Reporting Impaired, Incompetent, or Unethical Colleagues."
Violation of governmental laws may subject the physician to civil or criminal liability. Expulsion from membership is the maximum penalty that may be imposed by a medical society upon a physician who violates the ethical standards involving a breach of moral duty or principle. However, medical societies have a civic and professional obligation to report to the appropriate governmental body or state board of medical examiners credible evidence that may come to their attention involving the alleged criminal conduct of any physician relating to the practice of medicine.
Although a physician charged with allegedly illegal conduct may be acquitted or exonerated in civil or criminal proceedings, this does not discharge a medical society from its obligation to initiate a disciplinary proceeding against a member with reference to the same conduct where there is credible evidence tending to establish unethical conduct.
The Council cannot pass judgment in advance on a situation that may later come before it on appeal. The Council cannot be an attorney for a society or a member thereof and later judge in the same factual situation. The local medical society has the initial obligation of determining all the facts and whether or not disciplinary action is indicated. Questions asking for a review of a proposed course of action or an evaluation of an existing factual situation should be presented to the appropriate official of the physician's local society. (II, III, VII)

So neither the one who plants or the one who waters is anything, but only God gives the growth.(1 Cor 3:7 NRSV)
Church growth has somehow come to be understood by some Christians as synonymous with the growth of Christianity. Yet, given the controversies surrounding deliberate efforts on the part of churches to grow, especially numerically, one wonders how widely accepted is this notion in all churches. Furthermore, equating the Church to the whole of Christianity or the Kingdom of God is problematic to say the least. So what is it about Church Growth and the Global Church Growth Movement that makes the hackles of some persons rise?
Expansion Of The Early Christian Movement
According to the text from 1 Cor 3:7 above, which is part of a bigger passage it would appear that the author, Paul the Apostle, was simply stating the obvious that growth is inherent to Christianity. Anyone who has done any reading into the history of Christianity would be aware of what might be called the expansion of the Early Church which is generally portrayed as the overall spread of Christianity from Jerusalem to the rest of the world.
Paul is highlighted in the New Testament as something of a "Rock Star" apostle who was instrumental in the spread of Christianity. Not to take anything away from his efforts, we still have to acknowledge that the other apostles and the new converts also contributed as well. Through their efforts the church grew, certainly in numbers if not in maturity the way Paul anticipated it.
Increase Through Early Evangelistic Efforts
Whether we want to deny the fact, the spreading of the Good News was early evangelism. In addition, the spreading of the Good News anticipated that there would be growth. Part of what it meant to be successful was in the fact that growth was accepted as a matter of fact.
The consequential increase in converts and followers arising from evangelistic efforts was the work of God. Paul, expressed the view that human beings only cooperate with God in contribute to the process of God's work on earth. The results are entirely God's business. So its obvious that some effort should be put into nurturing and tending to facilitate any increase that God will give. Basically, there is evidence of something deliberate to produce the increase in membership.
Armed with an understanding of being witnesses to the Good News of salvation, grounded in what is termed the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). The Church today continues to believe that this mandate informed the Early Christians who undertook the spreading of the Gospel with great zeal. The anticipated increase in their numbers came and they kept growing and growing. Still one has to ask if the faith and spiritual maturity of Christians back then wasn't superseded by numerical increase, just as it is today.
Numerical Or Spiritual Growth
Who says it has to be one or the other? Keeping a balance between the two, is perhaps one of the major issues of current church growth discussions. How does one keep spiritual maturity in tandem with numerical growth. While that question deserves its own treatment, I raise it here. For it seems like this too is inherent to Christianity. Was there ever a time when as a result of the off the charts increase and expansion of Christianity, that there was sufficient attention given to nurturing the development of deep mature Christian spiritual faith and commitment?
And I suppose that might be why some persons feel we need to halt this emphasis on growth for growth's sake as it appears to some. Instead, we need to focus on getting those we have to become more committed and passionate about God. This is perhaps the driving purpose of building Small Groups. It is with the hope that with the nurture possible only in small groups not a crowd that this kind of commitment might be fostered and God will allow growth to take place.

Though Fiedler's statistics were not impressive (he completed 58 percent of his passes for 11,040 yards with 66 touchdowns and 63 interceptions during his four-year stint with the Dolphins), he provided the team with a steady presence at the position and helped Miami win an AFC East title. 2|10 Heinz Kluetmeier/SI, Ed Nessen/Sporting News/Icon SMI Jim Kelly - Todd Collins Collins has to be considered a disappointment based on his miserable performance as the Bills' starting quarterback in 1997. Collins led Buffalo to 5-8 record, but questions about his accuracy and decision making led the team to dismiss him after the season. In fact, Collins languished on the benches of the Chiefs and Redskins for nine seasons before getting another opportunity to start. However, a string of solid performances while guiding the Redskins to a playoff appearance last season earned the veteran a nice pay day (three years, $9 million) and repaired his reputation. 3|10 John Iacono/SI, AP Joe Montana - Steve Bono While a future Hall of Famer (Steve Young) replaced Montana when he left San Francisco, the four-time Super Bowl winner was replaced by veteran Bono in Kansas City. Bono, who had served as an understudy to Montana in San Francisco and Kansas City, turned in a Pro Bowl performance while guiding the team to a 13-3 record during his first season as the Chiefs' starting quarterback. Though he only held the starting job for two seasons, Bono eased the loss of Montana and helped the Chiefs remain a playoff contender. 4|10 Damian Strohmeyer/SI, Mickey Pfleger/SI Steve Young - Jeff Garcia Although Garcia has never gotten his due, the former CFL star admirably stepped in for Young after his career was cut short due to injury. Garcia earned the first of three consecutive Pro Bowl berths during his first season as the 49ers' starting quarterback, and set team records for passing yards (4,278) in that season. Although San Francisco only finished with a 6-10 record during that first year, Garcia went on to guide the 49ers to consecutive playoff berths in subsequent years. 5|10 Brad Mangin/SI, Bob Rosato/SI Troy Aikman - Quincy Carter The Cowboys struggled for years to replace Aikman, and Carter was the first to assume the duties as a rookie starter in 2001. Although Carter gave the team a different dimension with his athleticism, his failures as a passer (completed only 51 percent of his passes while recording a 63.0 passer rating) and leader led to a revolving door at the position (Ryan Leaf, Anthony Wright, Clint Stoerner, Chad Hutchinson, Drew Henson and Drew Bledsoe) until finally discovering Tony Romo two seasons ago. 6|10 Mickey Pfleger/SI, John Biever/SI John Elway - Brian Griese Mike Shanahan surprisingly tabbed Griese over Bubby Brister as the Broncos' starting quarterback in 1999. Although Griese's numbers were respectable during that first season (completed 57 percent of his passes for 3,023 yards with 14 touchdowns and 14 interceptions), the offense never overcame the loss of Terrell Davis early in the season. However, Griese bounced back the following year to post a 102.1 passer rating and the second-best touchdown to interception ratio (19-to-4) in NFL history. 7|10 John Iacono/SI Warren Moon - Cody Carlson, Billy Joe Tolliver, Bucky Richardson | Houston; - Brad Johnson | Minnesota The nine-time Pro Bowler played for four franchises, but his stints with the Oilers and Vikings were high points of his career. However, both franchises jettisoned Moon in favor of younger quarterbacks, but the results were not favorable. In Houston, the team handed the reins to Carlson (left inset) after trading Moon to Minnesota following a 12-4 season and an AFC Central division title. Carlson failed to deliver as expected and ultimately shared the job with Tolliver and Richardson (mid-left and right insets) the following year. The Vikings fared better than the Oilers in replacing Moon, as Johnson (right inset) put together a solid season in his first campaign as the team's starter. Though he didn't match Moon's flashy numbers, he completed more than 60 percent of his passes and ranked fourth in the NFC in passing prior to suffering a season-ending injury down the stretch. 8|10 Heinz Kluetmeier/SI, Andy Hayt/SI Dan Fouts - Mark Malone After Fouts' retirement in 1987, the Chargers acquired Malone from the Steelers. Although he had all of the physical tools to be a big-time starter, injuries and inconsistent play derailed Malone's bid to replace the legendary Fouts. Interestingly, Malone was originally drafted by the Steelers to become the eventual successor to Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw, but never lived up to expectations in the Steel City. 9|10 Walter Iooss Jr./SI, Andy Hayt/SI Roger Staubach - Danny White White took over as the face of the franchise following Staubach's retirement in 1979. Although White posted solid numbers as the starter and led the Cowboys to the three consecutive NFC Championship Games, his tenure as the Cowboys' starter is viewed as a disappointment due to his inability to win a big game. However, White did appear in a Pro Bowl (1982) and his 62-32 regular season record as a starter, makes it hard to view him as a disappointment. 10|10 Next up More Sports After issuing an ultimatum to the front office about his status, 58-year old Charlie Manuel was released by the Indians. 6 Back in Time: July 11 July 11, 2008 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries NFL Notre Dame quarterback Joe Montana looks to pass against Texas on Jan. 2, 1978 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

It helps that the onus won't be on him to throw 50 times a game in a complex system, but this is a worrying pick given everything the Rams gave up to move to No. 1. Goff is good under pressure for the most part, and he's used to throwing to iffy receivers, but systemically, it could be argued that Carson Wentz, who ran a more diverse power-based offense at North Dakota State, would have been the better fit here. 31 2016 NFL Draft Grades: First-Round Picks 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More

Soundness Counts
December 30, 2010
When soundness counts, concentrate on conformation, correct shoeing and proven joint therapy.
From AQHA Corporate Partner Adequan
As anyone involved in the performance-horse business knows, keeping horses sound and competitive is an ongoing challenge. Trainers, veterinarians and horse owners all agree that performance relies on the sound legs of the equine athlete.
The most important factor for soundness is the conformation of the horse. Starting with a structurally sound individual is critical.
"Nothing straightens a crooked leg," says Dr. Fred Gardner of Countryside Veterinary Clinic in Garnett, Kansas, He routinely advises clients to pass on horses that are not structurally correct. The wear and tear of the training regimen is toughest on horses with conformation issues, which may affect the way the horse travels.
The rope halter is a valuable tool, but it needs to be used correctly. In AQHA's FREE How to Tie a Rope Halter report, expert tack maker Dennis Moreland explains in simple terms how to tie a rope halter.
The stress of movement due to poor conformation adds wear to joints, but poor shoeing also can make a horse sore.
"A lot of lameness comes from poor shoeing or the horse doesn't travel correctly to begin with," Dr. Gardner says. "Soundness is easier for a structurally correct horse with feet that are in good shape. A farrier can make or break a horse. Good farriers keep feet balanced and horses traveling right, which in turn keeps joint issues to a minimum."
But, even with horses that are structurally sound and properly shod, joints still can become sore during the training regimen. That's when Dr. Gardner studies the horses' movement and administers Adequan according to the label for dysfunctional joints. The use of Adequan for treatment early is valuable in keeping horses sound and getting them to perform at the highest level of their capability.
Roll It!
If you'll be feeding your equine friends round bales of hay this winter, don't miss this video from America's Horse TV. Learn what to look for and how to properly store bales of hay.
"As you go into training with high amounts of stress on joints and get close to competition, we would implement therapeutic treatment regimens to treat even subtle changes," Dr. Gardner says.
By the time the symptoms of non-infectious degenerative joint disease appear in a horse's joints, joint damage may have already begun. That's why Dr. Gardner and other equine veterinarians recommend a treatment regimen that treats both the symptoms and causes of the disease.
Adequan is the only FDA-approved polysulfated glycosaminoglycan available for treating your horses' joints. No oral or generic forms of Adequan are sold.
Unlike corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which only ease the source of pain and decrease inflammation of the synovial membrane, or sodium hyaluronate, Adequan i.m. breaks the destructive disease cycle associated with osteoarthritis.
Befuddled by rope halters? Don't worry, there's a solution! In AQHA's FREE How to Tie a Rope Halter report, expert tack maker Dennis Moreland explains in simple terms how to tie a rope halter.
Adequan i.m. restores the natural cycle of "wear and repair" within the joint. It blocks the enzymes that damage joints and restores synovial lubrication within the joints. It protects cartilage structure, inhibits cartilage damage and stimulates the natural cartilage repair process. Adequan i.m. also decreases inflammation and relieves the pain associated with DJD.
The demands on show horses, particularly at the top performance level, require attention to details and a solid plan for maintaining soundness. Soundness programs like Dr. Gardner's are built upon structural correctness of the horse, great farrier work and Adequan to stimulate cartilage repair and restore joint health in traumatized joints.
To learn more about the causes, effects and treatments for degenerative joint disease, ask your veterinarian about the educational DVD available from Luitpold Animal Health. Or visit the Luitpold website.

A Personal Experience:
My first encounter with a Joshua tree left me captivated. The uniqueness of each individual tree decorating the south end of the Mojave Desert expressed a creative and regal shape, drawing me quickly in to their majestic splendor. The branches, some twisting and turning with a common goal to reach for the sky, showed their strength, beauty, and determination to shine, exhibiting an eagerness to debut their early spring-time blossoms.
The trees, blooming only during years when there has been good precipitation, showed off the bell-shaped creamy yellowish-white blooms, making me feel as though I was witness to a special moment in their lives.
The parks magnificent boulders changing colors as the sun changed positions in the sky; it was like watching a concert of colors performed just for me.
There is a very tranquil, peaceful and serene feel in the Joshua Tree National Park; one that truly makes you mindful, taking notice of life, self-awareness and reflection.

The ability to share what I see through the camera lens, capturing memories frame by frame, the reality of life, taking people to places they have never been, bringing loved ones together, the very essence of innocence on a child's face, or the excitement and happiness one experiences during a victorious event, has been one of my greatest passions in life. I was born in Madrid Spain to a very musically talented father, Alfonso Sainz one of the co- leaders of one of Spain's most popular bands in the 1960's and 1970's, Los Pekenikes, and a very artistic mother from Florida. I have managed to obtain their artistic abilities but express them through photography. My children have followed in my footsteps and have been an inspiration to much of what I do. Their encouragement to pursue my dream has given me the freedom to put my heart in soul into a passion I love.

The Spokane County Library District continues to provide excellent resources for people in the greater Spokane area who read ebooks on Kindles, laptops or other devices. The library's OverDrive digital collection offers ebooks and audiobooks in a wide range of genres in several popular file formats. Their fantasy collection, in particular, has something for everybody from die-hard sword and sorcery buffs to fans of paranormal romance.
"A Study in Silks" by Emma Jane Holloway is a particularly fun mashup of mystery, fantasy and steampunk set in an alternate version of Victorian England where London is controlled by local crime bosses called the Steam Barons who ruthlessly run the local utilities. They use their monopolies on practically all aspects of manufacturing to force the ruling class to conform to their wills. Magic works in Holloway's world, but it has been outlawed and people who are suspected of having arcane powers are either burned at the stake or dragged off to a secret government laboratory and never seen again.
The protagonist Evelina Cooper is a former circus acrobat who is good both at inventing clockwork devices and using magic. She is also the niece of the famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes. This makes her uniquely qualified to investigate a murder that happens at the house where she has been living with her best friend Imogen. Soon, Evelina finds herself caught up in the middle of a conspiracy to defeat the Steam Barons that involves numerous crimes that are seemingly unrelated at first.
While Evelina pokes her nose into other people's business and tries to protect herself from an evil sorcerer, she also has more mundane concerns. It is the beginning of the social season for England's nobility and one of the Steam Barons arranged to have her presented before Queen Victoria as an attempt to bribe Holmes. This causes Evelina to get caught up in some of the more familiar trappings of a period romance as she and Imogen attend functions where they are supposed to try to find husbands. Evelina is soon caught up in a mostly chaste love triangle with her old friend Niccolo, a circus performer with wild magical talents he doesn't know how to control, and Imogen's brother Tobias who shares her interest in inventing new mechanical devices.
Both Tobias and Niccolo are off limits to Evelina for different reasons. Tobias is the son and heir of a viscount, which means he could never marry her because she is an orphan without a title or a large dowry. She can't be intimate with Niccolo because their magic powers interact with each other in weird ways, such as generating colorful light shows, and their secrets might be discovered by people who wouldn't mind seeing them executed. Niccolo is invaluable to her investigation, but that isn't enough for Evelina to want to risk being with him on a permanent basis.
Toward the end of the novel, Holmes arrives on the scene and uses what Evelina was able to figure out using some of his methods to put together all the pieces she hadn't worked out yet. He also figures out several things that are inconvenient for Evelina. The last 20 percent of the story is a really fun Sir Arthur Conan Doyle pastiche as Holmes and Watson interact with Holloway's characters and try to bring all the villains to justice.
On Amazon, Kevin Hearne, the author of the exceptionally good Iron Druid urban fantasy series, said "This book has just about everything: magic, machines, mystery, mayhem, and all the danger one expects when people's loves and fears collide. I can't wait to return to the world of Evelina Cooper!"
Based on his enthusiasm, it was practically a no-brainer to download the book and give it a try. Hearne and the other fantasy authors who raved about the book were definitely onto something, because it is really fun getting immersed in Evelina's world. Male readers may be disappointed by the sheer amount of time devoted to things such as period clothing and how young ladies were expected to behave in the Victorian era, but the book really does have just about everything.
There are rousing action sequences, a plot involving art forgery on a major scale, a fun subplot about Tobias and his friends using a machine they built to disrupt a bad performance of an opera and some great stuff about magical robots with lousy attitudes. Evelina can't project streams of fire at bad guys like Harry Dresden, but she is able to use her intelligence and her supernatural talents to get herself out of jams at key points in the story instead of having to wait around for Niccolo or somebody to come rescue her.
Evelina herself is a wonderful character. She is very believable as a young woman who doesn't have much practical experience with young men as she tries to sort out how she feels about Niccolo and Tobias, but she is also strong and capable without being "plucky" or "tomboyish" or falling into any of the usual cliches. Young adult readers may appreciate the way she learns a few things about life and love along the way. Older readers will probably find her quite appealing too.
The second book in the series, "A Study in Darkness" may be more some readers' speed because it involves things like pirates with airships and an absolutely hilarious fight scene at Holmes' Baker Street apartment, but the first book is crucial because of all the background information it provides about the recurring characters and their delightful steampunk setting. Male readers may have to grin and bear it through some of the parts that are more romance-oriented, but they may be pleasantly surprised to find out that they like all that stuff about fancy dresses and dealing with unwanted suitors.
People who love both fantasy and Sherlock Holmes stories in the Spokane area would be wise to give "A Study in Silks" a try. Holloway has a good feel for her source material and she is able to portray Holmes and Watson in a way that should please Doyle fans. She is also very good at using urban fantasy elements in ways that don't feel like they have been done 50 times by other writers. People who enjoy the book have at least two sequels to look forward to, so that may add to the charm as well.

I promised that I would get a free download for you for the mushrooms...I had to get the pattern finalized, and writing up the instructions and drawing the illustrations always takes longer than I anticipate. That's mostly because I am first and foremost a mother of several, and life is very full!
Anyway, here it is! You can click on the link to the right (scroll down past the list of shops) to print out your own copy. This pattern will be free here on my blog for a limited time, so don't delay!
One note...if you downloaded the pattern yesterday (January 12), or earlier today (January 13), you might want to do it again. I made some changes to the pattern pieces, and I think you'll like how these turn out a little better. Sorry for the inconvenience! It's been a work in progress:)
MAJOR OOOPS: I forgot to put the pins in!

Lila! these are adorable. I can't wait to make some, although for some reason I always have a hard time with pin cushions. But I love them so, so I keep trying. haha. btw I "accidentally" picked up some of your fabric at my local store. I didn't realize it was you until I got home and started cutting into it. It's FAB!! I'm going to have to go back for more. I had just gotten a "taste" of it for something small. love, love, love it! Thanks lady! :)

You have such fantastic fabric ranges, and after reading your profile, I cannot believe you fit it all in!! I have two small children and balancing life can be tricky at times just with them!
I have bought your Soiree fabric range in a jelly roll, and every time I look at the quilt, it uplifts me. Spring in a nutshell :)

Where on earth can I find those adorable pearlized leaf pins? I've seen them in pictures a few places. With such lively (and lovely) pincushions as these, one requires a pin of equal zest!

Hello Lila,
Thank you for your generosity in allowing to download your mushroom pattern. I am very interested in two of your bag patterns, the Snazzy Bag and the Bohemian Bag. I would like if possible to purchase both of them together, since they don't have both of them in your Etsy shop I was hoping you could help and let me know how to get them both in one purchase.
Thank you and warm hugs,

Hi Lila, I saw your link on Moda's website. I am a textile/surface designer by degree but have been out of the business and missing it greatly! I've been praying that God would direct me and show me how to some way use my talents. I stumbled onto Moda's site today and fell in love. But I need help! Did you send samples? Done in repeat? Everything I do is by hand and I have no clue as to photoshop and illustrator. I'm feeling blue and you seemed like a nice person who might be able to help me. Thanks in advance. Jeanne

The lifeline for many animals in our society are local rescue groups who take the initiative to save our furry friends as if on a survival mission. Far too many animals are abused, neglected and discarded in this world and the dark indifferent side of the human species is responsible. Fortunately, there are caring and compassionate people in communities throughout the country who are there to make a difference for the damaged animals they find.
Most of these groups do some very heavy lifting and a terrific job with scant resources. Government entities like Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) in Florida rely heavily on local rescue groups to help them find forever homes for many of the animals that come to them through their enforcement or shelter services. Often rescue groups are the last resort before another animal is euthanized. They are an invaluable resource, and act very much independently without the advantage of collective thought.
There are large and small non-governmental organizations whose mission it is to help animals. Often they can focus only on the very moment as they are constantly being called upon to provide their services to yet another animal in need. On January 25th, Pookie's Pet Nutrition & Bow Wow Bakery held their 6th annual RescueFest to benefit pet adoption and services throughout Central Florida. In their festival booklet, there are at least forty organizations listed dedicated to the rescue, adoption and well-being of animals.
We're sure these organizations are respectful of the work each does on their own, but what might happen if they were brought together in the same room to learn from one another and plan for the future as a binding force? Of course there may be differences of opinion and approach, but wouldn't it be fascinating to see the energy that each brings to the other to benefit animals as the ultimate goal. This is not to say these organizations don't do great work now because they do, but how much stronger would their work be on behalf of animals if there were greater communication, planning and sharing of ideas if they formed a working group committed to an agreed upon mission and goals?
We've always believed that government needs to take a greater responsibility for the animals and the people who care for and about them in their communities. Perhaps OCAS had that in mind when they recruited for a new Animal Services Program Coordinator a few months ago. Recognizing that their rescue program is growing, they are now taking steps to greater involve themselves as a governmental representative with rescue groups to help fulfill a role that has begged for greater involvement to better serve animals.
We have always believed that animal related issues and services should be on equal footing, if not more, with all other important considerations that face government daily. We need for government to put a public face on the protection and care of animals that depend on us for their survival. Say what you will, but government still rows the boat in the communities they serve.
Relationships need to be built and a working trust established that will be supported by government highlighting the needs of homeless animals and resources to get the job done. Governments and the non-profit sector need to work together!
Like many non-profit entities devoted to animals, Florida Little Dog Rescue, a 501(c)3 Charitable Organization, "rehabilitates unwanted, abused and abandoned little dogs and places them in loving and responsible homes to live out their lives as cherished family members." They are an integral part of the Central Florida rescue network, but with any group effort there needs to be a leader and a central coordination point to keep the group focused and interested in what can be accomplished working in tandem as pieces of the whole puzzle.
We believe government needs to push this effort forward in partnership with the non-profit community. Perhaps it is the time for Orange County to take initiative by forming a central coalition with surrounding governments and the non-profit community to benefit animals by calling upon each other to build a collective strength. OCAS should be represented by a coordinator who recognizes the value in establishing a meaningful working relationship with rescue and other animal related groups. Someone who is a great communicator, understands the rescue community, and is an animal lover with great compassion.
Of course, it is important to understand not to expect an immediate turnaround in existing attitudes within the animal community. There has always been a certain amount of tension between government and different rescue groups on how to conduct their business and what they can and cannot do. For that matter, there is often a certain amount of tension between different non-profit animal groups too as they each have their own philosophy of how things should be done. Perhaps that is natural for human beings who interact, as we all are flawed in one way or another, and can create a certain level of mistrust. However, the time is well overdue for us to come together and build a bridge to the greater good that will benefit the animals we serve.
Our advice to the new OCAS coordinator is to invite members of the rescue community and governments in Central Florida, and perhaps beyond, to a meeting for the purpose of organizing a coalition that will advocate unity, planning into the future, and a process in which people meet people face to face, begin to talk and start sharing each other's experience and strengths.
At first, set up reachable goals to set the stage for greater integration of philosophy, trust and potential solutions to the many issues facing our care and concern for animals every day. Recognize strength in numbers and the power of acting together to effect change in addressing the public issues of homeless animals, abuse and neglect. Caring for animals should be a front page issue in everyone's community and it is incumbent upon government and the non-profit community to act upon that together.
From our past, we remember the first time the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Animal Services Committee met to organize and plan its role in the Washington Metropolitan Region. Rodney Taylor, Director of the Animal Management Division in Prince George's County remarked at the time, "In my 18 years of experience, this was the first time I saw all that knowledge in one room. I knew something good was going to come out of this." That same "something good" can happen here in Central Florida.
We know this will be a challenging endeavor to launch and maintain interest, but one that will be worth the hard work if we help the animals we love have better lives and a chance at survival. We know that sometimes this sounds like a broken record, but still believe in the strength gained from bringing disparate efforts together where everyone is focused on the ultimate mission of saving animal lives.
Readers, if this working group comes to fruition, what should their priorities be? How can they better effect the goal of adopting animals to forever homes and protecting them from abuse and neglect? Let us hear your thoughts . . .
Dateline Sochi, Russia:
According to a recent Orlando Sentinel column by George Diaz, "On the aesthetic front, the city of Sochi has hired a pest-control company assigned to kill hundreds of homeless dogs and cats. A local activist trying to rescue some dogs estimates that 5,000 to 7,000 already have been killed." When dogs and cats lose their lives because of aesthetics fronting a sporting competition that is enough said about the Olympics being held in Russia.

Hi! I updated to the most recent version of Core (5.1). Now my website doesn't appear, and I can't login to my WP admin. I receive the following error message:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class OAuthException in /home/thevisua/public_html/www.jasonwardstudios.com/wp-content/themes/core/plugins/twitteroauth.php on line 0
I have the most recent WP, and all plugins were disabled prior to installing Core 5.1

Hello. I have a couple of problems. Can you please tell me why my home page just sticks on "loading" with unclickable navigation links?
Also, on the video page, the image appears on top of the links and doesn't allow me to navigate.Here is the site: http://songeriddle.com Here is the video page: http://songeriddle.com/?page_id=82

I just uploaded all of these files to my domain and things are good, but I can't alter the look of the home page. It still says "Core Photography". I'm assuming I click the "edit your front page" on the dashboard page, but when I click on it, it just reloads the exact same dashboard home page. I have tried in Firefox as well (I am using Explorer).
Pleas help! My site is live with somebody else's logo on it!!

Aug. 11, 2008
Opening Ceremonies were definitely memorable! According to the Chinese alphabet, we were around 140 out of more than 200 countries, so we had to wait in our "holding tank" for quite some time. Before moving into the gym to be staged for our entrance, we had the awesome opportunity to meet the President, the First Lady, and the former President [George H. Bush] of the United States. We got some great pictures with the President and some of the NBA stars. Once we were in the gym, we tried to stay cool in our blazers and long sleeved shirts, but were pretty unsuccessful. It was hot.
Walking into the stadium is one of the most amazing things you could ever do. Waving at the American flags, seeing the President in the stands, and watching my fellow athletes get excited was unbelievable. There were other athletes around me jumping around and saying, "How COOL is this?" I remembered walking in Athens and having every emotion hit me all at once - I looked like a blubbering fool.
Today [Monday] we play China, and we're excited to finally get the show on the road. The Chinese will be a tough opponent - playing at home in the opening game.
Wish us luck!
