Whether you're installing street signs or fences, or planting shrubs, you'll have to dig a proper hole to do the job right. And while the process is far from rocket science, it's not quite as simple as one would expect. First, you must consider the soil structure that you'll dig into, as well as the depth, diameter, and number of holes to be dug. Next, you must select the proper tools to perform the work.
Advancements in drill designs and accessories have made what was once a simple hole digger into something much more — a complete solution for any digging project. Taking the time to learn about available options prior to selection ensures the success of a project on all levels — from safety and productivity to quality and return on investment.
Hydraulic vs. mechanical drills
Engine-powered, one-man earth drills are typically available in two styles: hydraulic and mechanical. While often similar in appearance, these two styles operate differently — with distinct features and options.
Hydraulically powered drills are built rugged and powerful for the most challenging digging projects, including those in more complex soil conditions, rough and rocky terrain, and even frozen ground. They offer controlled, precise operation at a higher torque, allowing operators to drill accurately in difficult applications. Hydraulic models also incorporate a reverse auger operation function. Should the auger become lodged under an object, such as a rock or tree root, it can be removed safely and easily by running the auger in reverse.
Generally accepting of larger diameter augers, these units are ideal for single-hole projects such as sign installation. Most are compatible with smaller augers as well, making them ideal for a variety of lawn and landscape projects.
Though versatile, hydraulic drills pose one distinct drawback. The tradeoff of controlled operation at a higher torque is slower operation, so they aren't the perfect solution for projects requiring multiple holes.
If you're looking for speed, mechanical drills are transmission-powered units that offer high-speed rotation for high productivity and clean holes. Compact, lightweight, and still packing a powerful punch, they're best-suited for use with smaller diameter augers and are ideal for projects calling for several narrow holes, such as fence and deck installations and decorative plantings.
Unlike hydraulic models, mechanical units don't have a reverse feature, which can present a problem if the auger becomes caught under an obstruction. The operator has to remove the in a counter-clockwise motion.
Augers: points and blades
An auger, or drill bit, usually includes a rotating helical screw blade called a flighting that acts as a screw conveyor to remove the drilled-out material. The auger's point and blade (commonly referred to as its tip) does the actual cutting as the unit rotates, and helps protect the auger's flighting from excessive wear. As important as the tip is to drilling success, it's imperative to know the available options and in what type of soil each performs best.
A standard, general-purpose point with a side-mount cutting blade works well in most conditions, particularly in sandy, loam-type soils and softer clays. General-purpose tips are compatible with most standard augers, in varying lengths and diameters.
When drilling in more solid, dense material such as limestone, sandstone, hard clay, or frozen ground, a carbide blade provides the best performance. Rather than digging into the material, the blade cuts the clay or ground into small pieces, allowing the operator to drill much faster. The blade mounts to the bottom of most standard augers and replaces the general-purpose point and cutting blade.
If the drilling task includes challenging conditions like loose, gravely, or rocky soil, a heavy-duty auger, point, and blade combination will tackle it best. Most effective when attached to low-speed drills like hydraulic units, it features a larger, more rugged and aggressive flighting than standard augers, and incorporates a special dirt-tooth blade in addition to a heavy-duty point.

Serge Gasore ('09) | Paying it Forward
B.S. in Psychology, 2009
M.S. in Global Service, 2013
Serge Gasore, survivor of one of the most tragic days in Rwandan history, is drawing from his dark past and creating a bright future for children in his home country.
We strongly believe that we can show Jesus to these kids through service. My wife and I had seen the hand of God through people, and we are paying forward to those people by being a voice for those who cannot get their voice out.
When he was a young boy, Serge witnessed the death of his grandmother in the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. Years later, he came to ACU and left his past behind but never forgot it. Now, as a recent graduate, he and his wife are living out ACU's mission in Rwanda.
"My wife and I think that there is no reason to stay on earth except to make a difference in the lives of children who are the future of tomorrow," Gasore said.
Quest to rescue children
Serge and his wife, Esperance Gasore, have started a children's home for children who are orphaned, sick, abused and neglected. Recently, they have rescued four children: a 4-year-old girl named Niwemwungeri, a 4-year-old girl named Mukabunani Providence, a 6-year-old girl named Keza Emelyne and a 7-year-old boy named Tinyimana Fils.
"I would like to rescue vulnerable children and place them in homes in order for children to grow as if they were raised by their biological parents," Gasore said. "Our primary focus is to support children physiologically, emotionally, psychologically, physically and spiritually."
Serge and Esperance have big plans for their children's home but that is only the first step in their journey.
"In the years to come, we want to be on the ground and work with people in that community," Gasore said. "We are not going there to teach or deliver anything; instead we are going there to learn from each other and help each other. If God continues to open doors, this community one day will see many children's homes, a church to promote disciple-making, a friendship house, Christian high school and health center."
ACU's inspiration
Serge's time at ACU was instrumental in his cause as well as his motivation to change children's lives in Rwanda.
"I cannot describe well enough how ACU prepared me to do what I am trying to do in the world. ACU is not only a school where I learned cognitively and spiritually, it is also a family to me," Gasore said. "The ACU community created love and confidence in me. My adoptive parents (Vann and Susan Conwell), and other people I met during my time at ACU inspired me to do something great like this, because I have always wanted to have a loving heart like the one they have toward God and his people."
Serge is the epitome of what it means to carry out ACU's mission to educate students for Christian service and leadership throughout the world.
"We strongly believe that we can show Jesus to these kids through service," Gasore said. "My wife and I had seen the hand of God through people, and we are paying forward to those people by being a voice for those who cannot get their voice out."

Since the new semester began at Michigan State, the Olin Health Center has gotten busier and busier.
But when you consider that H1N1 mainly impacts healthy, young adults, it's easy to see why. Students like Bo Provencher are doing everything they can to prevent getting sick and the obvious choice is the flu shot.
"Around my hometown, near Oakland, three kids died because it later became pneumonia and my parents wanted me to get one and I'm really looking for one," said the MSU sophomore.
To help, MSU is offering the shots all across campus. Unfortunately for Provencher, demand for appointments is high and Kathi Braunlich, with MSU Student Health Services, wouldn't have it any other way.
"We've had a real increase in the number of people coming in for flu shots, which is something we normally don't see," she said.
Lansing Community College is partnering with the Ingham County Health Department to open its second flu shot clinic of the season, next Friday.
"What we need to do, not only as an institution, but the public, is really understand how the flu is spread and what you can do to prevent the flu," said Margie White, Dean of LCC Health and Human Services.
Luckily, the H1N1 strain is in this year's flu vaccine, making it easily preventable.
"We know if we increase the number of people with the flu vaccine, they have a good chance of being protected from the flu this season," said Angela Minicuci, Public Information Officer for the Michigan Department of Community Health.
But when you're living and learning in close quarters, it never hurts to take extra precautions, like washing hands and not touching your face after touching things, like handrails and doorknobs.
LCC's flu shot clinic is scheduled for Friday, January 24 at the Health and Human Services building, from 9 a.m. to noon.

I began writing for the Tahoe World back in 1987 upon the request of then publisher Bill Kunerth. It seems that a readership survey was an eye opener. The survey's largest response was for a piece that dealt with fishing.
Bill and I were members in the North Lake Tahoe Kiwanis Club and he knew that I was an avid fisherman. He also knew that one of my many degree paths had taken me down through a possible English major. As it turned out, I got my degree in business administration after several other major changes.
When I began writing I used to submit my columns on typewritten hardcopy. Yes, it was before using the computer in those days. I have to say using a computer has made it much easier than in the beginning. Typing and corrections are much easier and you can submit electronically.
When the paper began publishing my photo, which is quite dated, I began to gain some notoriety. I began getting recognized around town as the "fishing guy."
In 1992 when I was on a vacation in Wyoming, a fellow even recognized me coming off the upper Snake River near Flag Ranch. My friend and I were shocked. It seems he was from Walnut Creek and subscribed to the paper and was just getting into fly-fishing.
Recently, I received a call from the publisher that my column was being pulled — apparently a result of budget cuts. The printed medium is suffering these days all over the nation. It seemed that we were somewhat insulated as a small community for some time, but these woes have caught up with us.
I have met many of you readers through the years and have appreciated all of the feedback and support. It has certainly been my good fortune to have such a solid foundation of readers.
So, I will continue to fish and enjoy the break from the weekly deadlines. I bid you all the best and thanks again for the support throughout the years. The North Lake Tahoe/Truckee area is a great community. Tight lines everyone.
— Bruce Ajari is a Truckee resident and longtime fishing columnist for the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza and other area newspapers.

While we celebrate Thomas Jefferson as an architect of American freedom, he also possessed a passion for design that he applied to ambitious projects, such as his beloved Monticello estate and the nearby University of Virginia. Jefferson's neoclassic sensibility took a sensual turn as Ambassador to France, where he was enthralled by the aesthetic splendors of Paris. Our Jefferson collection captures both the flourish of French-inspired design and the uncluttered freshness of new-world style. Curvaceous arms join teardrop balusters, inspired by the gilded iron gates surrounding the palatial Château de Versailles. Shapely bobeches recall the many fountains of Paris, while acorn finials add the classical touch so prized by the Founding Father.

Reverdy Johnson
Zachary Taylor and His Cabinet, All Seated Except President Taylor (detail),
Mathew Brady's studio, 1849.
America's First Look into the Camera: Daguerreotype Portraits and Views, 1839-1864
In this detail of President Zachary Taylor with his cabinet, Reverdy Johnson, attorney general, is seated at the far right. Click on the thumbnail for an enlargement showing the entire group portrait.
On May 21, 1796, attorney and statesman Reverdy Johnson was born in Annapolis, Maryland. Johnson represented Maryland, a slaveholding state south of the Mason-Dixon line, as a Whig, in the U.S. Senate from 1845-49 and again following the Civil War as a Democrat from 1863-68. Under President Zachary Taylor, he served as attorney general from 1849 until Taylor's death in 1850. Johnson was considered a brilliant constitutional lawyer and won an 1854 Supreme Court decision in favor of a patent for the McCormick reaper.

Although he personally opposed slavery and emancipated slaves inherited from his father, Johnson represented the slave-owning defendant in the 1857 Dred Scott case in which the U.S. Supreme Court decided that slaves could not be citizens of the United States. The court's decision intensified antislavery sentiment in the North and fed the antagonism that sparked the Civil War. In 1865, the ruling was made obsolete with the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment prohibiting slavery.
Contemporary condemnation of the Dred Scott decision can be found in the the minutes and sermon of the Second Presbyterian and Congregational Convention held in Philadelphia in 1858:
…it was Resolved, That the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Dred Scott, the evident design of which is, to degrade and rob the free people of color of civil and political rights, to perpetuate Slavery, and dishearten true philanthropy in the United States: is alike a sin against God, and a crime against humanity; and that Judges Curtis and McLean, who dissented from the infamous decision, are worthy of all praise.

The African American Odyssey
During the Civil War, Reverdy Johnson strove to keep Maryland in the Union as exemplified in a major address to a Unionist meeting in January 1861. He maintained a close relationship with the Lincoln administration by serving as a member of the failed Washington Peace Conference that met in February 1861. Two years later, he was sent by President Lincoln to New Orleans to investigate complaints about the Union occupation of the city. Lincoln's suspension of the writ of habeas corpus was supported by Johnson as evidenced in this meeting between the two in April 1861.
Johnson was moderate in his attitude toward post-Civil War reconstruction of the rebellious Southern states. When impeachment proceedings were brought against Andrew Johnson, largely for his lenient treatment of the South, Reverdy Johnson was instrumental in securing the president's acquittal.
Following a two-year appointment as minister to Great Britain from 1868-69, Johnson returned to his law practice in Annapolis where he died in 1876 as a result of a fall.

Well it most certainly is, so when I came across this beauty of a wedding from Sara Zarrella Photography with a palette that couldn't be more perfect for this festive day, I thought it was only appropriate to share it with all of you.

For all the cynics out there who question if true, lasting love really exists, I'm here to tell you it does. And we have a stack of stories to prove it.
Local media outlets KZYR, TV8 and the Vail Daily partnered with the Vilar Performing Arts Center for a "Best Date Ever" contest. The rules were simple, tell us about the best date you've ever had, and win a chance to go on a pretty kick-butt date on Tuesday night in Beaver Creek, which included dinner for two at The Metropolitan, two tickets to see Air Supply (and meet the band after) and a one-night stay at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek.
We got nearly 30 entries for the contest in all, some of which made us laugh, some made us tear up, and others were so fantastic we were frankly jealous. But the winning entry came from Shelley Gile and her and her husband Michael Sanner who got to go on their special date Tuesday night.
Gile wasn't expecting to win the contest and she hadn't told her husband she'd entered until Tuesday morning when a friend texted her to say she'd heard the winning entry read on air on KZYR Monday evening.
"I went so balistic when I heard," Gile said. "I've never won anything in my life. I was screaming and yelling and so was Michael. We were so excited."
On Tuesday night, Gile and Sanner enjoyed their date night.
"It was so fun," Gile said. "We had such a blast. I can't remember having that good of time, we rocked out and had a great dinner; it was wonderful. Thank you guys for choosing us - we enjoyed the night to the maximum."
It certainly sounds as if the couple's Tuesday night date ended a bit better than the date Gile wrote about in her contest entry.
Without further ado, here's the winning entry:
Best date ever? No contest. We were three months into our "relationship." We'd initially fallen for each other while on a September mountain biking hut trip (where he paid me the best compliment ever by telling me I had great "pluck") and things were going swimmingly. We made it through Christmas and then, uh oh, the dreaded New Year's Eve. Was he up to the task?
Oh my, yes! He planned a day of "the trifecta of winter sports" to be followed by a wildly romantic and extravagant New Year's Eve dinner at Beano's Cabin (mind you, we are locals .... Beanos is pretty out there for locals). We spent the morning skiing at Cooper, the early afternoon skate skiing at the golf course and ended this day of sunny bliss ice skating on Nottingham Lake. It was getting late, I had to get home to wash my hair, I still hadn't fully committed to an outfit and BAM!! Down I go on the ice, with my elbow hitting first, followed by the rest of me.
"Ow! Ow, Oh I'm fine, really! No really, I'm fine!"
He calmly told me I was ash grey and I wasn't going home to wash my hair. He was taking me to the ER. From 6 to 10 p.m. he sat with me while they lined up a surgeon for later that night. I begged him to go home, telling him I was fine. Silly of him to wait, really. "Go home. See you tomorrow."
He left.
He was back at my side less than an hour later and said he couldn't stand to be away from me. He stayed with me in the hospital for three days. I fell madly in love. Best date ever. That was 22 years ago. I'm still madly in love with him.
Shelley Gile, Avon

Governor creates second LINE Commission
Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter signed an executive order establishing the Leadership in Nuclear Energy Commission 2.0 during his visit to the Idaho National Laboratory on Wednesday.
Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter on Wednesday announced a new Leadership in Nuclear Energy (LINE) Commission.
Otter said the new group will be known as LINE II, and will act to insure the original commission's suggestions regarding Idaho's nuclear future are followed.
Our station asked the governor whether the pressure of the sequestration will prove a challenge for the new commission in the months and years to come?
"We asked the president to give us the flexibility," said Otter, recounting a meeting between dozens of the nation's governors and President Obama earlier in 2013.
"We can take the hit," said Otter. "A 2 and a half percent hit to the federal funds that come into the state of Idaho. We understand the reason for it, the necessity for it. But take the red tape out of it. Give us the flexibility to move that to critical mission, instead of this insane across the board cut."
Otter said lawmakers in Washington weren't prepared for across-the-board cuts because they thought they could be avoided. Now that sequestration is a reality, Otter said states like Idaho need to be able to decide where the cuts are made in respect to what's important at home.
"If we get that flexibility, we know what the critical missions are here at the lab," said Otter.
Wednesday marked an important announcement from Otter -- creation of a second Leadership In Nuclear Energy Commission. Freshman Idaho Falls GOP representative Wendy Horman said as the sequestration cuts become more clear.
"I think that's where LINE commission II comes in, where we can assess what our capacity is out there," said Horman.
Horman and fellow republican representative Jeff Thompson were at Otter's side for his announcement.
Thompson was a member of the original LINE commission and said despite the potential for cuts, he doesn't see the Idaho National Lab's primary mission changing:
"I think the funding will continually be there that they need for that research," said Thompson.
Otter has not decided how many commissioners will serve on LINE commission II.
The original LINE Commission was given a year to assess and quantify the opportunities and challenges associated with hosting the INL and a significant nuclear manufacturing and services sector that has emerged as a result of the U.S. Department of Energy site. The commission wrapped up its initial scope of work at the end of January, submitting its final report to the governor.
One of the more prominent recommendations of the original LINE Commission was that the state consider helping the federal government solve its nuclear waste storage problem.
"The men and women who served on the initial commission and its five subcommittees did a lot of heavy lifting over the past year, and I thank them for their service. They identified many things the state and INL have done right over the years, and they brought to the forefront several issues that demand continued attention – namely, the nation's failure to open a permanent used nuclear fuel and nuclear waste repository and significant budget cuts that threaten continued cleanup and research operations in Idaho," Otter said in a news release. "With other states potentially targeting the federal dollars that have so efficiently been put to use on INL's successful cleanup and research efforts, Idaho must aggressively assert its support for the site's future as the nation's lead nuclear lab. So it's critical to extend and expand the commission's duties through LINE 2.0."
In the executive order creating LINE 2.0, Otter said fiscal responsibility demands that the INL's assets be fully leveraged to carry out federal responsibilities for nuclear energy research oversight and materials management, rather than allowing tax dollars to be wasted creating redundant facilities and programs elsewhere.
"The findings of my initial LINE Commission reinforced the importance of constantly working to balance the benefits and burdens of hosting the nation's leading nuclear energy research center, and of paying attention to the kind of business environment we have for Idaho's nuclear industries sector beyond the INL," Otter said. "Idaho's safety and economic security demand a stronger public-private partnership on this issue, and creating LINE 2.0 is one of the best possible ways of achieving that."
The membership of LINE 2.0 will be drawn from state government, academia, Idaho's nuclear industries sector and the general public.
We'll have more tonight at 5 and 6 on Local News 8 and at 5:30 on KIDK Eyewitness News.

Theatre Arts professor emeritus Dennis Smith has directed more than 30 plays during his 28-year career at Southern Oregon University. Currently he is directing Tony Kushner's "The Illusion," based loosely on the play "L'Illusion Comique" by the 17th-century playwright Pierre Corneille. It's the story of a father who enlists a magician to search for his long-lost son. The play is filled with visions, transformations, time shifts and twists of fate. I visited with Smith at his office in the Theatre Arts Department one afternoon.
EH: Tell me about the qualities of the adaptation.
DS: The style is very contemporary. Tony Kushner has made the characters very accessible, highly articulate and in tune with our contemporary ears.
EH: "The Illusion" is a comedy?
DS: It's a comedy that deals with serious subjects. The heart of a lot of comedy is called heightened reality, taking something that is mundane and trivial and blowing it up to huge proportions and finding a situation that makes this mundane thing become critical to the moment. The serious subjects in "The Illusion" have to do with forgiveness, redemption and the sustaining ability of love. Serious themes are dealt with in a humorous fashion, but there are some very serious moments in it.
EH: How does comedy differ from farce?
DS: A farce stuffs as much comedy into a small amount of time and space as is possible. It is all trivial to the point of silliness. And there is the delight of a farce. Farces are quite delightful, for me, anyway. I love the Marx Brothers.
EH: Aren't the Marx Brothers rather serious, too?
DS: Only if you think Freedonia is actually a real country.
EH: What attracts you to this play?
DS: It is a play about theater. It talks about what theater is all about in a very subtle way, so that the other themes (redemption, forgiveness and love) override the theme of theater.
EH: You taught a class here at SOU on acting and survival. What was it?
DS: It was partly an auditioning class. Auditioning is a rite of passage. It's a very stressful thing. There is an art to auditioning. It's something that a young actor has to come to terms with. At some point you're going to have to audition. You're not going to get away from it. If you ever end up being a Tom Hanks, you're fine; you don't need to audition anymore. Most of us will spend our lives in theater going to auditions. That was about half of the class. The other half of the class was, if I called it anything, it would have been future shock: getting out into the real world, the business of the business. There are lots of questions. If you are going to go to New York to live, what's it like in New York? How much does it cost to get into Equity or the Screen Actors Guild? How to get into them? Once you're in them, do you want to be in them? That's what the class was all about.
EH: Do thespians have character traits that are different from those of people who go into business administration or science?
DS: I think it has something to do with play, with communication, with a spirit that is willing to accept failure. The fear of failure is a very inhibiting thing.
"The Illusion" runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, May 23 through June 1, with matinees at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, June 1-2, in the Center Square Theatre at Southern Oregon University, 1250 Siskiyou Blvd., Ashland.

When the firefighters of the Marietta Fire Department decided to wear pink shirts throughout October, the goal was to raise awareness about breast cancer-a disease which has personally impacted many of the men's loved ones.
But the shirts garnered so much attention that the men decided even more could be done.
The Marietta Fire Department presented a check to the Marietta Memorial Hospital Strecker Cancer Center Friday for $1,300. The money was raised by selling the pink T-shirts, which feature a fire hose forming a ribbon, the department name and union number, and the words "Hope" and "Strength."

Marietta City Firemen Eric Moore, left, and Larry Bargeloh chat while wearing their pink breast cancer awareness shirts Friday at Station 1 of the Marietta City Fire Department. The local union raised money for Marietta Memorial Hospital's Strecker Cancer Center by selling the T-shirts.
"I had no intention of selling the tees at first," said Marietta Fire Lt. Larry Bargeloh, who led the push to get the department to wear pink in honor of his wife Betty, a breast cancer survivor.
However, the pink T-shirts sparked an interest that Bargeloh and the department had not anticipated.
"After a week of wearing the shirts on duty, we had so many nurses and family members asking for tees that we decided to go ahead and throw a quick order together," he said.

Pink T-shirts
The Marietta Fire Department donned pink T-shirts while on duty in October to raise awareness about breast cancer.
Because of interest in the shirts, the department placed a second order and sold around 200 shirts at $15 each.
The department raised $1,300 through shirt sales which they donated Friday to the Strecker Cancer Center's Emergency Fund.

Though it was late into Breast Cancer Awareness Month when the department decided to sell the shirts, they were able to sell nearly 200 shirts at $15 each.
Ginny Olff, a licensed social worker for the Strecker Cancer Center, said that $1,300 will be put into the Strecker Cancer Center's emergency fund and will be a great benefit to patients who need financial assistance while going through treatment.
"What people don't realize is that insurance may pay for someone's treatment, but there are a lot of extra costs that don't get paid for. If people are stressed about expenses and financial needs then that is going to harm them emotionally with their recovery," she said.
The emergency fund goes toward such things as gas cards for patients, many of whom drive quite a distance for radiation treatment. It can also help cover prescription costs, utility bills, or any other needs that patients bring up, said Olff.
Many of the shirts sold went to hospital staff employees and friends and family of the firefighters. However, Bargeloh said he thinks there is room to expand the shirt sales next year, as many citizens expressed an interest in them.
"I even had a family member (of a patient) come up to me during a squad run and say how much she liked the shirts and appreciated what we were doing," he said.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is wondering how to convince our boss to buy a RC Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Quadricopter.
The aforementioned device is about an 11 on a scale of 1-10 in awesomeness. If a helicopter is cool, a quadricopter is four times as cool. Throw in the fact that you can control the 'copter with your iPhone, iPad or Android device and you've got one pretty badass machine.
According to the manufacture's website (http://ardrone2.parrot.com/usa) the four-prop flyer has a built-in video camera that can record for two hours. We're thinking of trying this angle with the ol' grand pooh-bah. You see, if we can send the drone out to cover an event, it would free up another reporter to cover a different story.
Wouldn't someone still have to operate the quadricopter, making your thesis of freeing up an individual to cover another story false?
SUMMIT UP: Dang, you guys are too smart! If we knew how to spell any of the Portuguese swear words our Brazilian intern taught us Tuesday we would probably throw them out your way ...
MSUR: Easy there big fella. We're just trying to save you guys the embarrassment of looking the fool when you float an idea that hasn't been thought out.
SU: Sorry for the harsh words. We've been a little testy over here watching all our friends enjoy the long Presidents Day Weekend and the snow that accompanied it while we plodded away at our desks.
If you've got any ideas on how we could sell the quadricopter to the higher ups, by all means shoot them over to email@example.com. We can use all the inspiration you can spare.
Tenham um bom dia!

OnStyle Notebook: Jason Wu and Lindsay Degen
Jason Wu has had his ups and downs. The collection he showed on Friday was an up. For those who think of him as a designer of pretty little Chanel-crowd dresses, a heads up: Wu's outerwear (winter coats, to you) is as good as it gets. His retailers have known this for years. Take his angora pea coat — tossed over a gown in his show. Loose and blousey, his fall 2014 version is tailored luxury, understated with no scrimping. Those sharp winter coats, with their astrakhan, embroidered details, their shearing collars, their double-faced fullness, will never appear on the red carpet at the Oscars. Which just means his clients won't have to compete with Nicole Kidman for his satin, silver fox and shearling parka.
Not to get too psychoanalysis here, but one of the likely keys to Wu's fashion intelligence is his mom, who is a highly turned out lady and has imbued her son with a sense of what counts. His bias-cut dresses for fall were delicious and wearable.
Wu has been taught that fashion editors want dramatic "editorial" looks. He appears to have paid less attention to those tempting sirens this season (though the fur bags still seem a stretch – despite the fact that designers have been pushing them for more than a year) and the results suggest he's on the Ralph Lauren path to fashion success: feed the customer a fantasy, but sell them clothing they can wear anywhere.
In another fashion spectrum entirely, designer Lindsay Degen offers weird knitwear for the goofy at heart – and I mean that in a good way. To her presentation for her label Degen, she wore Croc's with platform LED-lit soles (batteries under foot's arch), so you know she thinks different. That explains the Dr. Suess-like colors and knit pants, which were oddly cuddly.
The former Central Saint Martin's and Rhode Island School of Design student — and Ohio native — offered sweaters with odd appendages and fluorescent yarns. They were appealing in the way that one really does find Big Bird huggable.

SAN JOSE -- Marc-Edouard Vlasic made an early exit Saturday night, and there's no guarantee he'll be back for Game 6.
The team's top defenseman left the ice with an undisclosed injury at 14:09 of the first period after Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll checked him into boards.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan was in no mood to elaborate on Vlasic's status after a 3-0 defeat in Game 5 at SAP Center.
"There is an obvious answer: He didn't return after the blow he took the head from Stoll,'' McLellan said coolly. "He has an upper-body injury. Call it that."
When asked if Vlasic would be OK to play Monday in Los Angeles, McLellan said simply: "I don't know."
On the fateful play, Stoll's right knee appeared to hit hard into the back of Vlasic's left leg. After that, Stoll's right forearm connects with the back of the defenseman's head.
McLellan was unfazed that the hit merited only a two-minute minor for roughing.
"The (officials) have a tough job,'' the coach said. "They can't determine extent of the injury on the spot. I don't hold them accountable."
Vlasic's absence left a big void in the defense Saturday, as the Kings outshot the Sharks 41-30.
The extra work for the five healthy defensemen clearly took its toll.
"Obviously, playing with five 'D' is not something we're used to,'' defenseman Dan Boyle said. "And when you're down 3-0, that's when it gets really difficult. Things like pushing the puck definitely gets a little difficult."
Vlasic's absence is a rarity. This was his 81st playoff game, extending his Sharks record for most postseason games by a defenseman.
He also had a consecutive games streak reach 217 games before he sat out April 11 against the Colorado Avalanche. The streak ended not because of an injury, but because the Sharks wanted him fresh for the playoffs.
Now, the question is whether he'll have to sit out a crucial postseason game.
Sharks center Joe Thornton said that the other defensemen did what they could.
"I thought that the five we had really stepped up,'' he said.
But the Sharks clearly lacked a dominant possession player, someone who could clear the zone during the Kings' many onslaughts. That's Vlasic's specialty, and he did it well enough to merit consideration for this year's Norris Trophy.
He was also off to a strong start in the playoffs. He was named first star after a Game 1 win and had an assist and a plus-2 rating in Game 3.

I want to go on record right here, right now, to quash any rumors before they start circulating. I did not have a nose job.
Don't listen to my dear friend and colleague who's telling everyone I'm MIA this week because I'm "having a little work done," followed by a swipe of her nose with a finger and then placing her hands along her hairline and stretching up her face, just for comedic flair. She's a big fat liar who lies!
Well, I did have a little procedure done yesterday, and it did involve my nose. But it was purely for functional reasons.
Aesthetically, I am perfectly happy with my nose. It is completely unobjectionable. It fits my face just right. I would never say it is my best feature, but it doesn't stand out as my worst. But behind the perfectly fine nose, it gets ugly. The thing just doesn't work well at all.
As you are reading this, I am knocked out on painkillers following sinus surgery. I really hope they are the same meds they gave me during labor that made me thank the nurse over and over and tell her how much I loved her. Those were awesome.
After the startling realization last winter that I hadn't been breathing well for years, I went through extensive allergy testing and discovered that I'm allergic to, well, the world. We've been treating the allergies hard core: shots, steroid sprays, irrigation and a staggering array of antihistamines, decongestants and other prescription and over the counter remedies.
I started feeling like my grandma with her pill bottles lined up on the bathroom counter. While the allergy symptoms were improved, I felt like I was always on about day five of a cold, stuffed up and run down.
So Dr. Allergy sent me off to get a CT scan and to see the otolaryngologist. You know I like things fancy, but we'll just call him Dr. Ear Nose Throat moving forward. His assessment: chronic sinusitis, deviated septum and inflamed turbinates.
I suddenly felt broken. I have faulty turbinates that don't contract after they clean and humidify the air as it comes in. I have sinus openings that are too small and a wonky septum that is displaced to both sides. I basically have scoliosis of the septum.
Dr. ENT prescribed a new cocktail of pills and sprays to try for a month and failing that, surgery. And here we are.
In his very matter of fact description of the surgery, he said he'd straighten out the septum, clip off the bones at the entrance of each sinus to open them up and essentially perform liposuction to my flabby turbinates. Holy cow. Ow!
Dr. ENT said the recovery is a miserable week, but assured me his patients who had these procedures were his happiest, most satisfied patients, often telling him they had no idea how much their conditions had been affecting their quality of life.
This sounded good to me. I decided I would put my nose in his capable hands. So to speak.
In the weeks leading up to the surgery, I focused on the end result, not allowing myself to think about the reality of what was to happen and that miserable week. I occasionally had glimpses of recovery through talking with others.
One girlfriend pointed out that I might not feel like eating much in the first few days. Now, I love my food, so startled and confused, I asked why.
"Well, because you've just had surgery, you know, right there where all the food goes in," she pointed out. Fortunately, I now will think of that and laugh when I don't feel like eating.
I intentionally didn't Google Doctor the procedures and recovery details for fear my overactive writer's imagination would take over. Until this past weekend. And then I got a little freaked out.
My most practical friend got me back on track, encouraging me to change my focus. Her straightforward advice: "When all sorts of weird substances are draining down your face, just think, 'Soon I won't be stuffy anymore.'" Vivid. And point taken.
So, just to clarify again, I did not have rhinoplasty. I did, however, have septoplasty, so there were some plasties involved. I don't know if my nose will look different when all is said and done. Dr. ENT said it shouldn't, but if it does, don't judge.
At least I'll be able to stop buying my Kleenex by the case at Costco.

His BABIP in June is .457.
Body. I'm not an animal. Mummy. I'm an abortion. - Sex Pistols
He's one of my two breakout candidates of the year. He's making progress but needs to cut the K's.
Okay, so what's the consensus -- is the dawn arriving? I'm having a hard time reading the tea leaves in this thread.
Sure, it's nice that Yorman has added some pop this year, and I do think that he should continue to be an everyday starter in Bakersfield, but I don't count him as a Top 10 prospect with that K:BB ratio.
Last year in 90 AB's at Bakersfield, he had 39 K's: K's as a function of AB's=.403
This year in 240 AB's at Bakersfield, he has 73 K's: K's as a function of AB's=.300
Last year: 39K's to 3 W's, or 13:1. This year: 73 to 20 or 3.65: 1.
I consider that solid progress, especially for a player who is still quite young for the level. He needs to do more and whether he can is still the question, but he seems to be trending well IMO.
I'm at least interested in the fact that his tools could make it to MLB on the coat tails of his splits vs LHP.
Good numbers here. Also a good sign that he is rebounding strongly from a poor start in Bakersfield. His resurgence has accompanied a move to the top of the order, hitting first or second.Last year in 90 AB's at Bakersfield, he had 39 K's: K's as a function of AB's=.403
This year in 240 AB's at Bakersfield, he has 73 K's: K's as a function of AB's=.300
Last year: 39K's to 3 W's, or 13:1. This year: 73 to 20 or 3.65: 1.
I consider that solid progress, especially for a player who is still quite young for the level. He needs to do more and whether he can is still the question, but he seems to be trending well IMO.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
This year, Yorman has struck out 27.7% of the time in 264 PAs in Bakerfield. This is his highest K rate for a level in which he has spent 200+ PAs (a reasonable sample size) for his entire career.
For comparison, when Yorman's stock was at an all-time high after the 2010 season, he only struck out 16.3% of the time in 184 PAs in Billings. Many thought he had made significant strides from the 31.6% K rate he had the first half of the year in Arizona.
As more time goes on, it appears less likely that Yorman is going to figure it out with the strikeouts. While the BB rate of 7.6% is more encouraging than the 4.3% he posted in Dayton last year, he still strikes out way too much for the amount he is walking.
I know Yorman has the tools and I know he is young, and he does deserve more time to prove himself, but using 94 terrible PAs in last year as a comparison period is misleading.
Especially after his performance this spring, I have the strong belief that Y Rod will perform well with a bump up to a higher level of competition. Just strikes me as a Hanley Ramirez type who gets to the bigs and his 3's get so much better than they were in the minors.
Even though the belief is strong, I acknowledge that the belief may be wrong and I have no stat I can cite to back it up.
Yorman Rodriguez swings and misses in bunches and his walk rate is solid. His strikeout rate isn't so bad that it looks impossible to improve upon to the point where it is acceptable. But it certainly needs to improve.
I take issue with Edd Roush's comment that comparing Yorman's k numbers last year at Bakersfield to his numbers this year is misleading. What better control is available than what he did at the same level from year to year--if what one is trying to assess is his progress?

The Ultimate Guide to Face Shapes
Oval, square, round or diamond? Identifying which one of the common face shapes you have will help dictate your best haircut and makeup options
Makeup dos: To soften your look as Kourtney Kardashian has done here, try "sheer, soft tones," suggests makeup artist Nick Barose who also likes a "pop of color on mouth and cheeks" to downplay strong cheekbones. And, to help even out your face, apply lip liner to only your bottom lip before applying gloss or lipstick.
Makeup don't: Steer clear of too much blush and, when you do apply it, do so in a circular motion to the apples of your cheeks. You don't want to further define your cheekbones by shadowing beneath them with your blush.

Quote: 2 Days Loss From Transfers Out Of Godaddy.com: 37,000
by Michael H. Berkens
On Thursday as you probably know by now, a poster on Reditt.com called for people to move their domain names away from Godaddy calling December 29th as the day to do so.
Yesterday Godaddy.com reversed it position in the early afternoon EST pulling its support for the SOPA Bill.
So the remaining question is how many domain names got transferred on Thursday and Friday.
We can tell you over 15,000 domain names were transferred from Godaddy.com on Thursday and over 21,000 were transferred away from Godaddy on Friday.
The numbers come from DailyChanges.com.
It should be noted that on Thursday more domains were transferred into Godaddy.com (17,000) than left the registrar.
On Friday although Godaddy.com lost 21,054 domain through transfers out to other registrars, they received 20,034 transfers into Godaddy.com from other registrars.
It should also be noted that for the three days prior to the call for the boycott on Thursday, Godaddy had this amount of transfers out:
that being Monday (8,800), Tuesday (13,000) and Wednesday (14,500).
Quote: Jamie Zoch
Also to note, these are simply numbers based on one DNS (DomainControl.com) so if a domain that was transferred in or out with a DNS other than domaincontrol.com DailyChanges wouldnt record that in the above stats.
One interesting stat that I found (based on data from Webhosting.info) is the total loss over the past 30 days
. in the tune of 1 Million domains. This data is from 11/14/2011 to 12/19/2011. 37,841,094 down to 36,884,911.
So the transfer out because of the SOPA deal really doesnt mean a ton as much as the total loss over the past 30 days IMO. If my memory servers me correctly, I have not seen a loss like this for GoDaddy.
Quote: Backing of SOPA, and resultant boycott
On December 22, 2011, a thread[102] was started on the social news website Reddit discussing the identity of supporters of the US Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which included GoDaddy. GoDaddy subsequently released additional statements supporting SOPA, causing many companies to close their GoDaddy accounts. A boycott and transfer of domains was proposed. This quickly spread across the Internet, gained support, and was followed by a proposed Boycott GoDaddy day on December 29, 2011.[103] One strong supporter of this action was Cheezburger CEO Ben Huh, who threatened that the organization would remove over 1,000 domains from GoDaddy if they continued their support of SOPA.[104] Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales also announced that all Wikipedia domains would be moved away from GoDaddy as their position on SOPA was "unacceptable",[105] and after a brief campaign on reddit, imgur owner Alan Schaaf transferred his website too.[106] On December 25, 2011 (Christmas Day), godaddy lost 16,191 domains as a result of the boycott.[107]
On December 26, 2011, a Google bomb was started against GoDaddy to remove them from the #1 place on google for the term "Domain Registration" in retaliation for supporting SOPA.[108] This was then disseminated through Hacker News.[109]
Go Daddy claimed to have pulled its support for SOPA on December 23, releasing a statement saying "Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it."[110][111] Later that day GoDaddy CEO, Warren Adelman, couldnt commit to changing its position on the record in Congress when asked about that, but said Ill take that back to our legislative guys, but I agree thats an important step.[112] when pressed, he said Were going to step back and let others take leadership roles.[112] He felt that the public statement removing their support would be sufficient for now, though further steps would be considered. (Whereas many Internet sites would be subject to shutdowns under SOPA, SOPA presenter Lamar S. Smith specifically named GoDaddy in an amendment to the bill as being excluded from penalties from the act.)[113]
The rival domain name registrar NameCheap claimed that GoDaddy was in violation of ICAAN rules by providing incomplete information in order to hinder the protest moves of domain names from GoDaddy to NameCheap,[114] an accusation which GoDaddy denied, claiming that it was following its standard business practice to prevent WHOIS abuse.[115]
AdamBomb wrote: So, what are the real consequences if SOPA goes through? Is a swat team gonna bust down little Johnny's door if he DL's the new Drake album? Do ISP have to cough up IP data?
Quote: First, this notion of creating a special United States DNS listing with blacklisted sites excised. The folly of this design cant be overstated. I feel I can say with confidence that many a security expert and network technician must have laughed aloud at this proposal. The real world equivalent, if a shop was alleged to be selling stolen goods, would be to make them take their sign down. Workarounds for a DNS blockade would be plentiful and effective and need not be described here.

Brewton-Parker student receives Cason Memorial Ministerial Award
MOUNT VERNON -- Quentin Jermaine Morris, a Brewton-Parker College student at the college's Liberty County campus in Hinesville, was awarded a $600 scholarship from the Durward V. Cason Fund and Georgia Baptist Convention for the fall semester.
Morris is a sophomore from Claxton who is majoring in ministry. He is a continuing student in the external program.
The Durward V. Cason Jr. Memorial Fund was established in 1958 equips African-American students who live in Georgia who are preparing for service as a pastor, missionary or other church-related vocations such as minister of music, education or youth, chaplain, Christian social minister or professional Christian Counselor.
The Memorial Fund honors the life of Durward V. Cason Jr., who had committed himself to prepare for service as a medical missionary in Africa until he tragically drowned in December 1957. The fund has grown from the original gift of $135 to more than $250,000.

John Brennan says waterboarding should have never been legal and will never be used under his watch if he is confirmed as the Central Intelligence Agency director.
But he stopped short several times of calling it torture despite pointed questioning Thursday by Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan.
Waterboarding simulates drowning, and critics call it a form of torture. It was used in at least three cases against terror suspects during the administration of President George W. Bush.
President Barack Obama ordered it banned shortly after taking office in 2009.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — The Storm King, Mark McLaughlin, has ascended the throne at Tahoe City's Gatekeeper's Museum and will reign for the rest of the month of August!
This Thursday, Aug. 16, McLaughlin is the featured speaker in the North Lake Tahoe Historical Society's Third Thursday series. In his talk, "Weather Thou Goest: Sierra Weather Facts and Fancy," McLaughlin will describe local weather both historically and in terms of climate change. Sierra Nevada weather historically has high drama. Climate change is impacting this region, as the entire planet. But how is it impacting? How does today's weather compare to the past? What is "normal?" He has a few surprising facts for us on all counts!
The Gatekeeper's doors open at 6 p.m. with a no-host bar, the talk begins at 6:30 p.m. This event is free for NLTHS members and a suggested donation of $10 for non-members. Anyone can join the NLTHS at any time, just call 530-583-1762 for more information.
McLaughlin returns Friday, Aug. 24, to guide the museum's third annual Historic Bus Tour. This year, McLaughlin takes the tour down Lake Tahoe's fabled West Shore. This area's history — both natural and cultural — is remarkably rich. Tour guide McLaughlin will keep everyone enthralled on the meander, stopping at times to let the landscape "paint the picture" of events that took place there. From landscape-altering landslides, to epic mansions and resorts, the tales are high drama and exciting. Planned stops include Emerald Bay, Taylor Creek and South Lake Tahoe Museum. Although there is a small amount of walking at some stops, the tour can accommodate those who do not wish to walk.
Tourists will meet at the Gatekeeper's Museum for a 9 a.m. departure; the tour will return at 2:30 p.m. A tasty boxed lunch is included in the ticket price of $60 for NLTHS members; $70 for non-members. Reservations are required. Interested parties are encouraged to call: There are fewer than six places left.
For more information, visit northtahoemuseums.org or call 530-583-1762.
The North Lake Tahoe Historical Society operates two museums in Tahoe City: Watson Cabin Museum and the Gatekeeper's Museum, featuring the Marion Steinbach Indian Basket Collection showcasing more than 800 baskets from 85 tribes west of the Mississippi River.
September speaker
On Sept. 20 at 6:30 p.m., the Gatekeeper's Museum Third Thursday summer speaker series goes out with a bang when "Breaks, Brains and Balls," author David Toll discusses the life and adventures of Mustang Ranch founder Joe Conforte. In Conforte's own words, he went from being, "a street-smart kid in New York City to owning the Mustang Ranch east of Reno, putting millions into a Swiss bank account and thumbing my nose at the IRS all the way." Toll, Conforte's biographer, will spill details of the infamous Ranch and the equally infamous Nevada businessman who started it all. Copies of Toll's book will be sold at the event and the author will be signing.

Kitchen TextilesFancy name, basic function. Kitchen textiles include things such as place mats, dish clothes, and towels. All of these tools have two functions; they help you keep your RV clean and they can add a touch of color or beauty to your surroundings.
When it comes to dish towels and clothes, you want functionality. Multi-packs are the way to go. You are bound to use several each day so you may as well buy in bulk and save. Placemats, however, are a fun way to reflect a bit of personal style. Pick colors that pop and they become accessories when you are not dining.

One Steak Dinner, One Night in LA
My husband and I packed up our lives, threw them into a budget truck, and hauled our butts all the way across the country, to make a new home in LA. California is absolutely beautiful, the weather is amazing, the views are fantastic, the people are friendly. Life is good. So is the food!

This soccer drill is an extension of the previous drill. This time attackers from both lines will go at the same time. The goal for the defender is to keep the ball carrierr to the outside and make it tough for them to make a pass to the other attacker. The attacker should be trying to cross the ball or take a shot on net.
This socer drill is focused on defenders maintaining good defensive positioning. The goal is for the defenders to force the attackers to the outside and not allow a shot from a good angle. To set up the soccer drill place two lines on each side of the net as shown. The inside line are the defenders and the outside line are attackers.
This soccer drill builds off of the previous two soccer drills. It is set up the exact same way but this time two players will be run to the circle. The defensive player will make a pass to wither player in the air. The player that receives the ball will have to gain control under pressure from the defender and either make a pass or take a shot.
This soccer drill is run the same way as the previous drill. The objective is for players to receive the ball within two touches and release a shot on net. In this variation they have to do it while under pressure from the player that made the pass.
This soccer drill is fun and competitive. Set up two nets about 30 - 40 yards apart depending on the age group. Try to use the center circle as the middle of the field or set up a circle of discs about the same size at the mid point of the nets. Each plyaer will start with a ball on the goal line at the side of their net.
This soccer drill has to be executed with precision passes. Footwork, communication, accuracy, and touch are key for this soccer drill to function. Set up the drill as shown in the diagram. Each pass should be a one touch pass except for the final pass that is around the cones. On every pass the players should call for the ball and move after they make the pass.
This soccer drill is set up the exact same way as the 1st touch box passing drill. This is just a variation geared towards advanced players. Each pass must be made in the air so the player receiving it is forced to use their chest or head to receive the ball. The goal is to receive the ball and maintain control within the discs or cones.
This is a soccer passing drill that focuses on good control when receiving the pass. A minimum of two players are required and each player is set up within a box marked by 4 discs. The objective is for the players to make accureate passes, and while receiving the passes players need to maintain control of the ball within their box.
This is a really simple soccer drill that only requires two players and 1 ball. The players should be about 10 yards apart. The player with the ball starts the soccer drill by passing to the other player. After making the pass they run towards the other player as though they are applying defensive pressure.
This soccer drill is another variation of the Argentina Circle passing drills. It requires players to be in groups of three with one soccer ball per group. In this variation, all three players start on the outside of the circle. One player starts with the ball and dribbles to the center of the circle and then makes a pass to one of the other two players.
