Believing the idea of what ought to be in the face of reality is the cause of all suffering.
Cut the chatter Red 2.
Charles never progressed past "freshman in college" thoughts.
"Without an idea, a counter thought, a concept of how things ought to be, you can not love this world we live and die in."
This is absolutely, utterly, completely incorrect. The earliest primitive religions were universally affirming of existence, despite existence at that time being particularly nasty and unpleasant. What could early humans do, aside from accepting and embracing their short, bloody lives?
It was only with the emergence of Jainism and life-negating mythology, as well as the mutability of Zoroastrianism, that societies storytellers attempted to resist or repair the world around them.
Star Wars sucks. It's not like it was as big as The Breakfast Club or anything.
believing in "Star Wars", Dungeons and Dragons, Britney Spears, Christianity it is all fantasy and manipulating you in some demented way.
"free yourself and the rest will follow"
"free yourself and the rest will follow"
Uh. No.
The kingdom of heaven is within, spud.
Yeah! More Mudede, philosophy, and Star Wars. These are my favorite posts.
I agree. Just like the idea of the Death Star turned out to be far superior to the reality. Cool, you think to yourself, a massive space station that can destroy planets. But then you have to spend crazy money building it, you have to isolate the designers inside the Maw so they don't spill their secrets, you have to hire like a million guys to staff and run the thing, and of course every time you actually blow away a planet the debris dings the shit out of the hull. Oh, and then a bunch of fucking teenagers in these tiny-ass little fighters just slip by all the defenses and drop a proton torpedo down one of the exhaust ports, blowing up the whole station. Christ.
The proliferation of Star Wars in our culture is owed entirely the age of its demographic more that any other factor.
#1, don't forget it's also the cause of inspiration.
Love it.
I was just thinking it's been a while since we had a Mudede/Star Wars philosophy post.
Stay on target!
Luke, I am your foster brother's stepfather's roommate's best friend ...
I think it's time for a Wookie post.
"Without an idea, a counter thought, a concept of how things ought to be, you cannot love this world we live and die in."
is childish, then I want to be a child.
StarWars did give us the Force, with which we can fight L. Ron Hubbardism. That's a good thing.
It's funny, I said almost the exact same thing about Highlander to a friend the other night. I absolutely love it as a whole series, a whole idea, but if you really look at anything in particular very closely, you're going to find something to complain about, something not to like. And I can see how that's like life somehow. Good job.

This tasty turrón is a blend of whole freshly roasted almonds and local honey. The traditional candy is a crunchy treat that has been served for centuries in Spain. Each bar is packed with 60% whole almonds, making it one of the healthiest candies in the world. Our turrón is made in the province of Alicante, which is the source of its name.
Each piece of Alicante turrón is covered with a crispy edible wafer, making it easy to eat by hand. Serve with a cup of fresh Spanish coffee as a breakfast treat or healthy dessert.
Turrón candy is a classic part of Spanish Christmas, when families present a platter of turrón to share with their guests. We love it so much that we offer it all year!

For the fourth time in 10 months, Philadelphia police are steeling themselves to relive the murder of one of their own.
On Monday, prosecution and defense lawyers will begin selecting a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court jury for the trial of the accused shooter of Officer John Pawlowski, 25, the last city police officer killed in the line of duty, on Feb. 13, 2009, after just five years on the force.
The life of Rasheed Scrugs, 35, is on the line. A parolee from West Philadelphia, he has a decade-long record of arrests for theft, robbery, and gun crimes.
Scrugs is accused of initiating the fatal shoot-out with police at Broad Street and Olney Avenue, outside the SEPTA transit station. They were responding to a 911 call from a cabdriver who said Scrugs was threatening him.

Party: Republican
Paul Bettencourt is Chief Executive Officer of Bettencourt Tax Advisors, LLC., a Radio and TV personality, former Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector from 1998 to 2008, and the current Texas Senator from District 7. At the Tax Office, he introduced "Smart Government" and developed a customer service-driven organization. His team created the first major online Property Tax Payment System and the first county tax office website with online Automotive Registration in Texas. (His motto was "Get on-line, not in-line.") His leadership in office and the community earned Paul the "Taxpayer Advocate of the Year" award from Americans for Prosperity, the "Hero of Faith" award from the Houston Area Pastors' Council, and the "Pioneer" award from the Harris County Republican Party.
Paul has also held the offices of the Texas Republican Party Treasurer, the Harris County Republican Party Vice Chair and Treasurer, a National Republican Party Alternate from Texas in 2000, a National Delegate in 2004 and 2008, and Presidential Elector in the 2012 Presidential Election from Congressional District 7.
After a decade of public service, Paul started his own business in 2009. With a focus on customer service, technology, and best business practices, Bettencourt Tax Advisors, LLC assists in reducing property tax bills for its clients and has successfully expanded to over 30 employees.
Paul ran for the Texas Senate in District 7 and won with 71.8% of the vote. As the newly elected Senator of SD 7, he was honored to be appointed to the Senate Finance Committee by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who also appointed Paul to the Senate Committees on Intergovernmental Relations (Vice Chair), Education, and Higher Education. At the conclusion of the Legislative Session, Senator Bettencourt was recognized by Capitol Inside as "Most Valuable Freshman" and by Governor Abbott as an "architect of tax relief."
In November 2015, Lieutenant Governor Patrick appointed Paul to lead the Senate Select Committee on Property Tax Reform and Relief (Chairman).

GLM: Sold-Out Gourmet Housewares Show At NYIGF Meets Exhibitor Expectations
Wednesday September 5th, 2012 - 2:53PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
The second annual Gourmet Housewares Show at the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF) sold out every available booth for the summer 2012 edition, showcasing 175 exhibitors, with a concentration of housewares and tabletop suppliers.
"Although we increased exhibit space by more than 15% for the second annual Gourmet Housewares Show, the exhibit floor was filled to capacity," said Marc Delman, Gourmet Housewares Show national sales manager. "Clearly, companies in the gourmet category recognize the value of exposure at one of the country's largest gift and lifestyle tradeshows."
The third annual edition of the Gourmet Housewares Show at NYIGF has been set to run Sunday, August 18, through Wednesday, August 21, 2013, at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
Exhibitors found that cross-category buyers responded well to the proximity of gourmet resources. According to Jesse Tawil of first-time exhibitor Lifetime Brands, "This was our NYIGF debut and it exceeded our expectations by far. We discovered some great new customers from stores not typical for us, including museum stores and design shops. In addition, we had a great response from our core kitchen customer."
In response to feedback, the Gourmet Housewares Show ran for four – rather than five – days (Sunday through Wednesday) for the summer 2012 market. Exhibitors, including Ben Hewitt of Corkcicle responded favorably to the change, "One less day of this show seemed to have generated some serious buzz and excitement. It was almost as if there was an urgency to be here. We experienced a constant, good flow of buyers."
More than 33,000 NYIGF attendees, representing all 50 states and 85 countries, attended the four-day market. Gourmet Housewares Show exhibitors recognized the quality as well as the quantity of buyers. "There was great enthusiasm at this market, apparent through large orders and solid leads that will turn into new business," said Edward Artidiello of Mepra. "For us, the quality of the customer is better. The people walking these aisles are exactly who we need to see."
In total, approximately 500 gourmet resources were offered at NYIGF, with 175 exhibitors in NYIGF's Tabletop division positioned directly adjacent to the Gourmet Housewares Show, and hundreds of additional "gourmet-relevant" exhibitors in other NYIGF divisions, including Accent on Design, Handmade Designer Maker and New York's Newest.

TOKYO (AP) - Japan's government says the country's industrial output climbed for the fourth straight month in February on strong demand for cars and machinery.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said Wednesday that factory output, a key measure of overall economic activity, rose 0.4 percent from January.
The result was better than an average market forecast of a 0.1 percent decline by the Kyodo News agency.
But the government warned that industrial production would fall sharply in the coming months due to the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, which decimated much of northern Japan, crippling production and supply chains.
The government gave no output forecast.

Assassin's Creed 4 will 'give pirates the HBO reality treatment', isn't for kids says Ubisoft
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flags is going to tell a real, gritty and thoroughly entertaining pirate story, Ubisoft's lead content manager Carsten Myhill has said. The team is thinking along the lines of big production value and high drama, much like an HBO television series.
Speaking with MCV, Myhill set out his team's stall for Assassin's Creed 4, "We have a fantastic opportunity for pirates in video games. Certainly when Assassin's Creed III naval came out, there was a clamour from the fans for a pirate game. There's no doubt that the people want it.
"But it's not easy. It takes a very talented team, a lot of experience and great tech. It's one thing having good naval combat, but combining that with good boarding and land-based gameplay in a seamless way, is hard to do.
"We're staying away from cliches. Things like walking the plank, parrots on the shoulder and hooks for hands. We are giving pirates the HBO, reality treatment. And that allows us to redefine piracy in entertainment. No longer is it for kids."
We've already seen protagonist Edward Kenway walking away from a threesome in the Assassin's Creed 4 trailer, and engaging in plenty of violent fights, so perhaps the game will be darker than the rest of the series.
To see that trailer again, simply hit the link, and let us know what you think below:

Posted on 03/31/2014 3:06:25 PM PDT by george76
Says one progressive strategist: "This is a coming divide for the Democratic Party."
Bracing for a rough midterm-election outcome, Democrats aren't waiting until Election Day to start blaming one another for the party's problems. Anticipating the possibility that Republicans will flip the Senate, the finger-pointing game is already underway between the party's warring factions.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationaljournal.com ...
Oh good, it's about time.
But in the end, the RATS will ALWAYS stick together.
Break out the popcorn. It's always fun to watch your enemies fight among themselves.
We should be fanning the flames amongst them.
POPCORN! Getchur popcorn!
I'm waiting for the headlines....
Demorat party in Chaos!
Chasm separates Party.
Stop the politics of persona; destruction,
cry democrats to their own party...
They control the office of secretary of state in many states. It is not so important who does the voting as who does the counting.
(Whatever you do.....DON'T BLAME THE BLACK GUY!)
I'm starting to worry. It's starting to look like a setup.
I seem to recall the last campaign where Dems "shared" bogus data showing Romney ahead. We bought it.
Consider the sources.
I'm feeling this a girl fight between Obama's Machine and the Clinton Machine.
Let's hope Republicans don't peak too soon. That happened in 1970 (political historians might recall that).
Republicans are getting sick of voter fraud, Obamacare sign-up fraud, IRS fraud...
We would have done better in the 1970 midterms if they were a few months earlier?
Perhaps, but what is to be done about it? Republicans must grow a pair and get in their faces.
Going to buy some popcorn, so I can watch it.
Do you know how dems 'do' voter fraud Miss Regt?
It's NOT that they vote the dead - it's that they 'vote' the people who don't show up. The 'dead vote' is an accidental byproduct of voting those who don't vote on election day. When I was young they would take a stack of cards of people who didn't show up and hit the 'chad spot' of 50 cards at a time with an ice pick and hammer... Which is where a lot of hanging chads come from...
The advantage of the 'dead' count is it shows the extent of the cheating. I'm sure democrats would love it if we could help them purge the dead from the voter rolls - it would help them cover their tracks.
Once people know how Democrats cheat it's easy to set up systems to catch them...
Civil war within the RAT party??!! .......Nah, I don't believe it. Obama will get angry at anyone who steps outta line. That RAT person and that persons family will be threatened.
Local couple upset after receiving pre-marked voter registration card from "Covered California" (Cali O/Care)
10news | 03-29-2014 | Preston Phillips / FR Posted by Kevin in California
A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state's Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.
Watta surprise (cackle). Turns out Obamacare is a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power.....w/ a multi-billion dollar slush fund.
The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).
In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion........
....the reasons for all those O/Care delays, fixits, exemptions, waivers, extensions, etc, are becoming crystal clear.
Mmmmmmm......so true. Dems have been cautioned (threatened?) to dare not utter a discouraging word about Obamacare. Not to ever compromise the DNC loyalty oath. Dems lock-stepping party loyalty has not been seen since 1940's era Europe (cackle).
I keep thinking of the sheepish Peter Sellers saluting
smartly to der leader at the most inconvenient times.
(CACKLE) So I guess lockstepping Democrats are all wearing the uniform du jour:
<><> Debbie Wassername is lap dancing for votes at the border.
<><> Obama will fellate a latino on the Capitol steps for votes.
Yes, rats stand together. Poor black rats who prop up white liberal elite rats vote as a bloc... and the white liberal elites reward them by giving them benefits, favors, and graft.
It might be time for whites who are NOT liberal elites to vote as a bloc...
LOL - Liz I was a democrat for many years - and knew some of the people who were in on the cheating. I was told how it was done... (this was before the time of computer voting... it's been a while.)
Wow-—behind enemy lines.

1. My Primary domain is with www (www-mywebsite-com) I wish to keep all mapped sub sites like this.
2. It is necessary for me to keep the set up sub-directories and not the sub-domains.
Please guide through a solution.

Politicians will square off in Mosgiel this weekend, but not
as you may expect.
Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull, National Party MP Michael Woodhouse,
Labour Party MP Clare Curran and Mosgiel Taieri Community
Board member Sarah Nitis will compete in the Masport Portable
Barbecue Cook Off on Saturday.
The event, from 10.30am to 12.30pm, is being organised by the
Mosgiel Business Association.
Association chairman Blair Arthur said the public had no
reason to fear politicking or electioneering.
''They won't be talking politics,'' he said.
''We won't give them a chance.''
The four competitors would have 45 minutes to prepare a dish
using their barbecues.
Following the cook off the barbecues will be auctioned off
with the money going to the Otago Rescue Helicopter Trust.
The event will be held in the square between Blackstone Cafe
and BNZ in Gordon St.

Confirmed traveller
- This is really two tours in one, as the Jordanian and Israeli elements are completely different, with different leaders. Jordan was one big highlight! The weird, wonderful and beautiful Dead Sea was amazing, sleeping under the stars at Wadi Rum and, of course, awesome Petra. If I had to choose one thing it would be our tour leader's guided walk up to the Place of High Sacrifice in Petra and our descent 'the back way' to the site. I would never have done it without his help (not very fit and scared of heights!) but it was one of my best travel experiences, ever.
Also, walking across the border checkpoint between Jordan and Israel is an interesting experience!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Last week, being blown out by the fourth quarter, was the perfect opportunity to pull a struggling Shawn Hill, and replace him with Smith. His confidence was shot, and it was written all over his face. You make this change to save your starter from humiliation, as well as get the second QB some reps, so we know what to expect. It been a long time since Alex played, lets see if he can score, Hill was dead out there. The game was over! Until Smith shows us what we expect from him, I am skeptical too. But you never know until you get him out there. Singletary seems to have the same stubborness as Mike Nolan in this area. Why did it take this long to make O-line changes?

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5–This novel offers a close look at the harsh realities of life in a mill town during the early 20th century. The story centers on 11-year-old sisters, each envious of the other's "easy" life. Arlene, who was born with a "monster foot," is lonely tending house while Pauline works at the cotton mill with the rest of the family and other children. In alternate chapters, the twins narrate their parallel experiences. There is plenty of action as Pauline witnesses an accident in which a young coworker loses his thumb in the spindle and Arlene assists the local midwife. The story has a strong message about walking in another person's shoes. When Pauline injures her foot, she learns what it is like for her sister to live with a deformity. Arlene fills in at the mill for the injured boy and finds that there is no end to sweeping and lint. In the end, the girls recognize that their best opportunity for friendship is between themselves. An afterword discusses child labor in the United States in the early 20th century. A rather didactic novel, with good descriptions, this story is most likely to be used as a curricular tie-in.–Sharon R. Pearce, Chippewa Elementary School, Bensenville, IL

From Booklist
Gr. 4-7. Grueling child labor provides the drama in this short, spare first novel, set a century ago and told in the alternating voices of 11-year-old twins Pauline and Arlene. The girls hate each other. Pauline works long, backbreaking hours in the mill, and she resents Arlene, "the favored one," who stays at home because she was born with a deformed foot. For her part, Arlene longs for the respect of a "real" job, even though she is responsible for the housework and helps the community's midwife. After Pauline injures her leg in a mill accident, the sisters become friends, but the real story is in the unsentimental view of families and the harsh facts of childhood at home and work, "lonely, boring, tiring, and dangerous." The sisters' plain, immediate, first-person present-tense narratives lend themselves to readers' theater, and teachers might want to pair them with the documentary images of photographers such as Lewis Hine. In a brief afterword, Boling talks about Hine--and about children around the globe who are, even today, forced into backbreaking labor. Hazel Rochman

WHAT'S DOING IN; Oaxaca
By TIM WEINER
Published: December 7, 2003
Few places in the world have the magic of Oaxaca. Its deep roots reach back 2,600 years to the settlement of Monte Albán, the Zapotec capital, about as old as the Tree of El Tule, a cypress outside town, nearly 180 feet in circumference, that is one of the largest living things on earth. The life, the art and the food of the colonial city of Oaxaca, first laid out by Spanish conquerors in 1529, draw visitors from around the world, and the power of the attraction is never stronger than when the new year nears.
Oaxacan cuisine is among Mexico's best; the city is the capital of the seven classic moles, the complex and deep-flavored sauces that take days to make. The blocks north of Oaxaca's leafy zócalo, or town square, provide sublime strolls. When morning and late-afternoon light fall on the old stone buildings, painted in sienna, umber, pale yellow and other earthy shades, the colors seem to float in the air. The city is filled with art and some of the world's great weavings, and in the warp and weft of Oaxaca is a texture in which travelers happily become lost.
The city and its nearby valleys take in thousands of travelers each winter, and spur-of-the-moment trips at Christmastime may require some work to find lodgings. There are usually good rentals in private homes available if first-class hotels are fully booked. One online site for last-minute accommodations is the Oaxaca Forum (bbs.oaxaca.com).
The Christmas season in Oaxaca begins Dec. 16, the first of nine nights of posadas, a Mexican version of caroling. In every neighborhood processions go from door to door in memory of the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. On Dec. 18, Oaxacans celebrate their patron saint, Santa María, also known as the Virgin of Solitude. They take armfuls of flowers to the Soledad Basílica, west of the zócalo, where there is dancing and revelry.
On Dec. 23, in the zócalo, is an extraordinary annual display of sculptures, both sacred and sassily secular, carved entirely out of huge radishes. Every Catholic church in town prepares a float for Christmas Eve, all converging on the Cathedral, just north of the zócalo, around 11 p.m.
Every night into the New Year is a fiesta in Oaxaca's public spaces and promenades, filled with music, dancing and celebration, including the ritual smashing of clay bowls against the side of the Cathedral, an out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new custom whose origins are lost. Among free attractions, nothing beats the concerts by Oaxaca state bands, marimba Monday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and brass on Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. in the gazebo that sits in the center of the zócalo.
Two more traditional festivals that Oaxacans celebrate with passion are Epiphany, Jan. 6, ''the 12th day of Christmas'' and the gift-giving day that ends the holiday season in Mexico; and Candlemas, Feb. 2, in which families take images of the Christ child, dressed in finery, from their home altars to be blessed in church.
Tickets go on sale after Jan. 1 at the state tourist office, Independencia 607, (52-951) 516-0123, for Oaxaca's biggest event, the Guelaguetza, a festival of folk dance usually held on the last two Mondays of July. That's a long way ahead to plan, but it's necessary: advance tickets (up to $30, at 11.5 pesos to $1) are essential for the show at the Auditorio Guelaguetza north of town. Two weeks of concerts and celebrations surround the dates.
The ancient ruins of Monte Albán, with its grand plaza and tombs spread out over roughly a square mile, are among Mexico's most impressive. At its peak, from the fourth to the eighth century, the city held about 25,000 people and controlled the countryside for miles around. It fell into ruin and abandonment sometime around A.D. 950. Admission $3.20 (free on Sunday); the site is open daily (52-951) 516-1215. A taxi from the city center costs about $7, or $20 an hour if kept longer.
Teotitlán del Valle is one of Mexico's greatest weaving centers. About 15 miles east of the city, the town offers a tremendous variety of textiles, including the kaleidoscopic works of the late Arnulfo Mendoza, a world-class master, and his followers. The centrally located Mercado de Artesanías is the best place to start; many smaller shops nearby have artisans at work. Most weavers still use natural dyes. Prices range from about $5 for a shawl to well over $1,000 for museum-quality work.
Two other important ruins lie down the highway from Teotitlán del Valle. Yagul, about 20 miles east of Oaxaca, was settled after Monte Albán began to decline around A.D. 800. The site is small, but the ball court, more than 100 feet long, is one of the biggest ever unearthed. The ruins at Mitla, about 30 miles southeast of Oaxaca, were a Zapotec religious center; they feature stonework from the 12th to 14th century. Admission at both sites is $2.50 (free on Sunday), and both are open daily.
Oaxaca has three noteworthy museums. The Rufino Tamayo Museum of Pre-Hispanic Art, Morelos 503, (52-951) 516-4750, www.oaxacaoaxaca.com/museums.htm, has 1,000 pre-Hispanic pieces. Admission $2.60, open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Some of the treasures from Monte Albán can be seen at the Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca, corner of Alacalá and Gurrión, at the former convent of Santo Domingo, (52-951) 514-1825. Admission is $3.20; open Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. www.inah .gob.mx/museos/regional/oaxreg .html. And the Contemporary Art Museum, Alcalá 202, (52-951) 514-2228 or (52-951) 514-7110, www.arts-history.mx/museos/maco, features contemporary Oaxacan artists. Admission, 90 cents; closed Tuesday.
Where to Stay
All rates are for a double room, including tax, in high season, November through January.
For a good value near the zócalo, there's the Gala de Oaxaca, Bustamante 103, (52-951) 514-2251, fax (52-951) 516-3660, www.gala.com.mx. It has 32 standard rooms ($56) and 4 suites ($74).
The Hotel de la Parra, Guerrero 117, (52-951) 514-1900, fax (52-951) 516-1558, www.hoteldelaparra.com, features 10 elegant rooms, with Internet connections, right off the zócalo. Rates: $105.
Budget: The Hotel Principal is an old favorite, at Calle 5 de Mayo 208, (52-951) 516-2535. There are 14 simple rooms with private baths; $34.

Utes football: Utah coach Kyle Whittingham says Utes made progress in scrimmage
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Friday's scrimmage at Rice-Eccles Stadium proved to be a positive outing for the Utah Utes. They left the field somewhat satisfied as both their offense and defense found success at times in the situational gathering.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham called it a good scrimmage with a lot of positives. There were some mistakes as well, he acknowledged, before noting the bottom line.
"We saw progress," said Whittingham, who was especially pleased with the offense and how they completed drives — making very few critical mistakes as compared to last Saturday's scrimmage.
The Utes scored seven touchdowns on rushing plays and four via the air.
"The offense is really getting in sync," said Dres Anderson, who led all receivers in the scrimmage with six catches for 103 yards and a score. "We're getting our plays down; we're executing well; and we're not shooting ourselves in the foot. We've just got everything rolling right now."
The up-tempo offense, he added, is wearing the defense down.
After making noting that the starting defense did not participate in the scrimmage (mostly for precautionary reasons because of injuries), Whittingham liked the pace of the offense and the lack of drops by the receivers.
Besides Anderson, 12 others caught passes. Kenneth Scott and Lucky Radley each made four grabs.
Starting quarterback Travis Wilson completed 11 of 25 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown. Adam Schulz was 13 of 22 for 175 yards and a pair of scores, while Brandon Cox hit the mark of 7 of 10 attempts for 66 yards.
"They were extremely sharp at times," Whittingham said, before noting that Wilson and Schulz were each picked off twice. "They both had a couple of throws they wished they would have back, but the first two guys did a nice job."
Whittingham was also impressed with Cox. The true freshman had a 19-yard touchdown run and finished with 50 yards rushing on seven carries.
"He's a playmaker," Whittingham said. "He moves around the pocket well and he's got that ability to extend the play, which is something that drives defensive coordinators nuts."
The Utes had 10 players finish with positive yardage on the ground. James Poole led the way with 68 yards and three touchdowns, while Radley finished just behind Cox with 47 and a score.
"The O-line did a great job opening holes and everything was there," Poole said. "We just had to take care of the rest and hit the hole."
Wilson thought the offense got better as the scrimmage progressed and "made a big step forward." Things, he added, were a lot better this week.
Co-offensive coordinators Dennis Erickson and Brian Johnson also noted improvement.
Aside from being slow the first two drives, Erickson said the offense hit all cylinders pretty good. The negative, obviously, were the four interceptions. Even so, Erickson said Wilson and Schulz had their moments out there.
"I think we've improved since our last scrimmage," Erickson said. "That's the biggest thing."
The receivers, in particular, really stepped it up. Erickson felt it was the position group's best day of camp.
"We were able to make some big plays, which is kind of what this offense is all about," he said. "But you've always got to get better."
Johnson noted that the offense is making progress and is doing some good things.
"There's still some stuff we need to work on," he explained. "But the effort and the execution is on schedule where we need to be."
Defensive coordinator Kalani Sitake had mixed thoughts about the scrimmage. He said the defense had some tough spots, but also managed to do some good things.
"Overall I thought it was a good practice," Sitake said. "We made some big plays."
Tyron Morris-Edwards highlighted the effort with an 87-yard interception return for a touchdown. Charles Henderson picked off two passes and Quade Chappuis pulled down one.
Six defenders had pass breakups and four made tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
"I think we're playing all right," said cornerback Keith McGill, who broke up four passes. "We've just got to stop allowing big plays, be more fundamentally and technically sound, and we'll be all right."
The Utes resume spring camp Tuesday.
"We've got six practices left and we need every single one of them," Whittingham said. "We've got to keep progressing."

Publisher's Description
An Irish Christmas is a captivating story of love, deception, and secret passions, from popular and prolific author Melody Carlson.
Author Bio
Carlson writes very well. Her characters are not only three-dimensional but also amusing and realistic. Readers identify with their stresses, goals, hopes, frustrations, and ambitions. They have problems, just like normal people. Because of this, the reader is able to understand and sympathize with both the mom and son. Carlson writes the book in a very refreshing manner, shifting back and forth between Jamie and Colleens points of view in sharing one is as first person from two perspectives.
Jamie and Colleen both have secrets theyre keeping from each other. And, with the death of Hal, Jamies father and Colleens husband, the situation doesnt get any easier for either of them. Jamie decides he wants to join the Air Force, much to his mothers dismay, and Colleen eventually sells the old family business and is in the process of selling the family house, too. And, on top of all that, the stress continues to build for both of them because of the guilt they are feeling about their secrecy. Eventually, those secrets break loose, and the story takes a shocking turn of events.
An Irish Christmas is a warming story filled with human nature, faith, and understanding. There are valuable lessons to be learned from this tale about maturity, patience, and genuine love. It is a short book, and very fast-paced. And with the tension building between the two main characters and their secret confessions, the reader is sure to stay engaged and intrigued. Women will be more likely to pick up this book, but men can get a lot of enjoyment out of it too. -- Joshua Wagner, Christian Book Previews.com

MargotSouth AustraliaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Made Me Want to Experience IrelandJanuary 29, 2015MargotSouth AustraliaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I read a lot of Christmas novellas this Christmas, and this was one of the best. Slightly longer than most, it seemed to have more depth. I especially appreciated the alternating first person approach - seeing the events from the perspectives of the two main character, but really getting inside their heads to what they were thinking and feeling. The story moved along well, but still had a depth that was surprising in such a short novel. It was great to explore Ireland with Jamie and his mum, meet some Irish characters and get a feel for the Emerald Isle. I enjoyed the gentle reference to Christmas. A satisfying December story, which I highly recommend.

text: I'm attempting to turn a new page into a photo gallery, and am open to which ever way is easiest - especially when it comes to expansion with upcoming groups of photos. I have gathered the most accessible way is to go through WordPress media upload but each time it says my files are too big. How do I make them smaller? Or would it be smarter to find a plug-in instead? If so which one - there are so damn many out there!?
