Art Yard Sale part 2
August 24, 2010 - Emily Dimov-Gottshall
I had my Art Yard Sale last Saturday and it was a great success! I sold a painting (always a good thing) and got my art out there to be viewed by the public. One thing I did notice was, I need to be more prepared (as in the night before...or a few days before) and not run out of energy by 8 am. lol It helps to plan these events out and not be so frazzled.
The painting with the yellow swirls sold. I'll most likely have more art created once the kids are in school. I'll be listing things on my eBay site if you're interested, as well, and can't make it to the Art Yard Sale. You can find me at my website at edgegal.com
Take a look at the pics and you'll get an idea of what it was like. We did a joint art as well as yard sale goodies. I'm going to do this again this Saturday (August 28th) and only have art and more tables to display lots of smaller works. I figure I had better have one last one for the summer and then wait till next year when it's warm again.
If you're planning an art show/sale let me know and I can share it here.

Sometimes, the urge to have Italian food strikes, and nothing satisfies until you get it. When that happens, count on 10Best to point you in the direction of Minneapolis's best Italian restaurants. We understand the desire to have a great meal, and we work hard to bring you the top places to eat in Minneapolis. We vet restaurants carefully for quality, and when we recommend popular eateries like al Vento or tell you that Zelo gets good reader feedback, you can believe it. We'll make sure you get - and eat - what's best.
Just a few minutes southwest of Minneapolis, this snazzy Italian restaurant specializes in outstanding pastas, salads, pizzas, and poultry. Catch a glimpse of the chefs at work in the open kitchen as they prepare balsamic-glazed short ribs and spaghetti, braised lamb shank and spit-roasted chicken with risotto. To finish off, make sure you sample the Italian cookie platter or the chocolate truffle cake. The dining area features elaborate, hand-painted, faux-finished walls. (952-941-6868)
Il Gato
Il Gatto, one of Minneapolis's trendier restaurants, is just the place to brush shoulders with a well-heeled crowd. Famous for its hand-spun pizzas, oak-grilled steaks and fresh pastas, Il Gatto promises incredible, rustic fare. They also stock plenty of wine, and their prices are among the best in town. The best tables are located in the rear near the fireplace. (612-822-1688)
Ciao Bella
Sister restaurant of Zelo, Ciao Bella is a trendy, smartly decorated eatery that's quite popular at lunch and dinner with the business crowd. The moody restaurant features sensous curves, exposed brick, wrought iron, and bold design elements, including a funky bar. Pizza is king at lunch, but at dinner you'll want to sample excellent pasta dishes – fusilli with grilled chicken is not to be missed. Fresh fish, steaks, and chicken also prove delicious. Reservations are suggested. (952-841-1000)
Zelo successfully brings the scintillating atmosphere, tastes, and aromas of Northern Italy to downtown Minneapolis. The sophisticated restaurant's rich, dramatic interior is marked by bold bronze and black tones, intimate booths, and a trendy bar scene. The menu includes pastas, pizzas, wood-grilled pork and steaks, fresh fish, veal scallopine, and even an ahi tuna burger. Complete a meal with molten chocolate cake, artisan cheeses, or a tripartite gelato sampler. (612-333-7000)
Buca di Beppo
If you're in the mood for family-style Italian food, hit Loring Park's Buca di Beppo. Inside, colorful dining areas feature a wide range of eccentric statues and paintings. For dinner, try a homemade, Italian sausage and pepperoni-topped Supremo Italiano pizza, or if you're looking for something a little different, go for the chicken saltimbocca. Dessert lovers NEED the Dolce Platter (one each of tiramisu, double dark chocolate cake, cheesecake and apple crostata). (612-288-0138)
al Vento
Hearty southern Italian cuisine comes to South Minneapolis in this cozy restaurant. Yellow-gold paint and whimsical decorative touches create an intimate, welcoming space. Octopus with saffron potato and citronette makes for an unexpected starter, while updated classics like spaghetti with tomato and veal meatballs and gorgonzola-crusted steak with wild mushroom ragu populate the entrees menu. Arrive early on weeknights to sip half-price bottles of wine between 4:30pm and 5:30pm. (612-724-3009)
Whether you're looking for an on-the-go sandwich for lunch or a leisurely, first-date dinner, Prima is a wise choice. Locals rave about the deli sandwiches, piled high with choice meats and accompaniments like brie and spinach. Pastas take center stage at dinner – five-cheese tortellini and spaghetti vongole are dished up in generous, savory portions. Agnolotti, small pasta stuffed with a puree of red peppers and goat cheese, is not to be missed. With several dishes geared towards vegetarians and a kid-friendly atmosphere, there's something for everyone at this favorite neighborhood bistro. (612-827-7376)
Loring Pasta Bar
You'll marvel at the Loring Pasta Bar Restaurant in Minneapolis as soon as you walk through the doors. With unique, beautiful artwork and décor throughout, this stunning restaurant is as much a feast for the eyes as the mouth. Offering both traditional Italian dishes, as well as their own signature entrées, Loring offers a little bit of everything. Start off with an order of the pan-fried potstickers or the delicious artichoke ramekin. For a unique Louisiana Creole dish, try the Loring Shrimp Jambalaya or stick with an Italian specialty like spinach and cream cheese raviolis with braised lamb shank. Let your taste buds go crazy at Loring Pasta Bar. (612-378-4849)
Broders' Pasta Bar
Pasta, as an art form? It certainly is that way at Broders' Pasta Bar. The 21 varieties of pasta and risotto are made fresh, daily. Not only that, each dish is prepared with individually sautéed herbs and garlic. The atmosphere is casual and friendly - diners seated at the bar get a view of the chefs as they cook, and there are always daily specials to mix up the standard favorites. (612-925-9202)
Trattoria Tosca
The lustrous, dark walls and high, warmly lit ceilings project an unbeatable romantic ambiance in Trattoria Tosca. Even better, the rustic wooden tables draw all the attention where it should be - to the artfully presented seasonal Italian fare. The concise menu allows for frequent rotation, although perennial favorites have included ravioli with foie gras, chicken and cream, as well as a rack of lamb served with polenta, English shell peas and roasted garlic.

When free agency opens on March 11, the Colts will have almost $38 million in cap space, per OverTheCap.com. That amount could climb to about $42 million if they release Samson Satele, who, as we all know, isn't very good. Since the coaching staff was strangely reluctant to use 2013 fourth round pick Khaled Holmes last year, general manager Ryan Grigson is widely expected to scour the free agent market for a center.
In this, the first in a three-part series examining centers Grigson might pursue, I'm taking a look at the best one on the market, Cleveland's Alex Mack.
First things first: unlike Satele, Mack is quite good. Pro Football Focus ranked him fourth in the league in 2013 (subscription required), placing him fifth in both pass and run blocking. Satele was 31st overall, 18th in pass blocking and 35th, or dead last, in run blocking. I don't trust PFF unconditionally (they like Gosder Cherilus way more than I do), but their numbers are a good starting point for measuring quality.
Per Spotrac, most top centers will carry cap hits around $6-7 million next year, with Carolina's Ryan Kalil and the Giants' David Baas topping the charts at $10.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively. Mack will likely be looking for a four- or five-year deal for about $7-8 million per year.
The Colts already have Gosder Cherilus and Donald Thomas making hefty sums for the next several seasons, and Anthony Castonzo will be due for a new contract next year. Forking over another big deal for a guy who will turn 29 in November will be a tough pill to swallow, particularly because Andrew Luck's sweetheart rookie deal only runs for two more years, after which the team's salary structure will change dramatically.
In other words, Mack had better be pretty damn good.
To find out whether he really is that good, I took to my trusty block charting system. I charted three of Mack's games, all against teams the Colts also played: week 4 vs. Cincinnati, week 8 vs. Kansas City and week 13 vs. Jacksonville. I picked those three because PFF had the Cincinnati game as one of his best of the year, the Kansas City game as one of his worst and the Jacksonville game somewhere in the middle. It's a small sample, but I was able to get a decent feel for his game.
The results are below. First, a few words about my terminology and system:
RBC, RBA and RB% mean run blocks completed, run blocks attempted and run block percentage.
PuBC, PuBA and PuB% refer to pull blocks, or blocks on which the linemen step back and move across the field into a different gap. These usually happen on running plays, though they are also used on screen passes and play fakes.
2BC, 2BA and 2B% refer to second-level blocks, on which the linemen move past the defensive line to engage linebackers or, occasionally, defensive backs. These almost always happen during running plays.
PBC, PBA and PB% refer to pass blocks.
Pr, H and Sa are pressures, hits and sacks, respectively, and PB/Pr, PB/H and PB/Sa mean pass blocks per pressure, hit and sack.
TBC, TBA and TB% refer to total blocks.
DISCLAIMER: Grading offensive line play is inevitably subjective, since it's impossible to know assignments and how the linemen are coached. These scores are based on whether the lineman appeared to succeed in his assignments, based on his apparent targets and how the plays developed. I assign all blocks a grade of '+' (good block), '-' (bad block) or '/' (not involved, usually meaning the lineman couldn't find anyone to block); '/' plays are not scored.
Here are Mack's numbers from the three games I charted:
And here's Satele's season table from my season review piece:
Though my sample happened to include two of Mack's three worst run blocking performances of the season, per PFF, he still graded out a whopping 13% higher than Satele. The Jacksonville game, which PFF graded as Mack's worst run blocking performance, would have been above average for Satele. Mack is also a much better pass blocker.
In fact, in all three games I charted, Mack performed better in both run and pass blocking than Satele did against the same opponents. He's simply a much, much better center. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out, but it was startling to see how different a line can look with a real talent in the middle. Mack consistently leverages his man out of the way in the running game, and he's quick and alert in pass protection. He combines Hugh Thornton's aggression with Castonzo's awareness of what's going on around him. He helps teammates in trouble, adjusts well to stunts and always finishes his blocks. He even goes looking for blocks downfield after he's done his job, something you'll never see from Satele. The one weakness I saw was that he doesn't offer a lot when asked to pull or block at the second level. He has good mobility, but he doesn't track defenders well in space. Still, that's a fairly minor drawback for a center.
Here are a few notable plays from my review of Mack.
First, a good old fashioned pancake block of Bengals tackle Brandon Thompson:
Here's a reminder of how delightfully unlike Satele Mack is. He's on the left of the screen, finishing a quality block of the Chiefs' Allen Bailey. Jason Campbell is about to scramble.
A few seconds later, you can just see Mack on the bottom left of the screen, his arm still on Bailey.
At this point, assuming he had made the initial block, Satele would pat himself on the back for a job well done and swagger down the field feeling good about himself.
But not Mack. He carefully avoids blocking Bailey in the back, then busts his ass upfield to get between him and Campbell:
Campbell gets tackled around the same time anyway, but Mack is categorically unwilling to let Bailey chase his quarterback down:
Here's the overhead view, to give you an idea of how far Mack chases Bailey. The moment Bailey starts getting up to chase Campbell:
And the moment Mack re-blocks him:
Mack has moved five yards down the field and gone from behind the defender to in front of him. It's not a vital block, but I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see a center make this sort of hustle play after watching Satele lope through 15 games.
It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows with Mack. Kansas City's Dontari Poe beat him cleanly a couple times for pressures:
Nobody's perfect, after all. On the bright side, both misses were results of Poe making a good move and beating him, rather than eye-popping inattentiveness, like a certain other center.
And finally, here is his finest moment in the three games I watched. The Jaguars send six rushers, including three through the two A gaps that Mack is helping protect. The right guard takes one of them, and Mack is left with Paul Posluszny and Tyson Alualu. He calmly puts one hand on each of them and steers them both to his left, using Alualu's thick frame and the presence of Sen'Derrick Marks on his right to keep Posluszny behind Alualu. It's a subtle but brilliant move that gives Brandon Weeden just enough time to uncork a trademark Brandon Weeden incompletion.
If signed, Mack would immediately become the Colts' best run blocker. He'd also do wonders for their interior pass protection. I want to get a good look at a couple targets before I go all-in on Mack. Still, at the moment, I think he'd be worth the hefty contract he'd command.

What a year of boxing!
2013 had it's share of ups, a few downs and tons of compelling fights and storylines.
This past weekend's fights may be over, but we're just beginning to break down all the fallout from Adrien Broner's stunning defeat, his post-fight antics and his future in the sport.
On the other hand, Marcos Maidana suddenly has a very bright future in a talent-rich welterweight division. We assess his options going forward after the biggest win of his career.
All that, plus the overall state of the sport and, particularly, the state of the HBO-Showtime rivalry.
These are the hottest boxing storylines for the coming week!

Has anybody been to the IMAX theater to see operation Red Flag?
I know it is all about fighter planes, but was awesome to say the least.
My Q is this, there is a military plane with a huge radar deal on top of it. What kind of plane was that? I don't have the slightest clue about military aircraft, but to keep it on the commercial aviation side of things, was it at one time a commercial plane? Like the KC-10 was.

All five starters scored in double figures for the University of Hawaii basketball team on Saturday in an 83-80 road victory over Cal State Fullerton.
Isaac Fotu scored 24 points for the Rainbow Warriors (18-7, 7-4 Big West), who rallied from a four-point halftime deficit to win their third straight game overall, and fourth in a row on the road. Brandon Spearman added 14 points for UH, Garrett Nevels had 12, Keith Shamburger had 11 and Chase Standhardinger finished with 10.
Alex Harris scored 29 points for the Titans (8-16, 3-7), but missed a 3-point attempt with two seconds left that could have tied the score.
Hawaii will play at home against UC Irvine on Thursday.

Now, several months after Hurricane Sandy left the street underwater, the road is in worse shape, and something needs to be done to prevent more city funds from being wasted on frequent resurfacings, say two longtime Travis residents.
"Since Sandy, it's gotten worse," said lifelong neighborhood resident Nick Blanchard. He said Sandy flooded the roadway, and that whenever there's high tide, extra water is present on the street.
Blanchard said road closures occur "more and more often."
Gene Guerra, president of the Travis Civic Association, has voiced his opinions about the street in the past.
"First of all, it's a very heavily traveled road," he said, especially during morning and afternoon rush hours.
According to the city's 311 Online Service Request Map, three complaints have been filed on that section of Travis in the past three weeks regarding potholes.
Water is frequently visible, both Guerra and Blanchard said. In the winter, the water makes for icy conditions.
"The water, under normal circumstances, regardless how often it's paved, is constantly coming through. If it's paved or patched, water comes through the asphalt," said Guerra. "It's an endless headache."
Guerra noted drivers familiar with the road can swerve to avoid pot holes, but because it's only a two-lane street, that could be dangerous for other motorists.
"The driver could stay in his lane, hit the pothole and come out of his lane. It could cause accidents," he said.
The civic president added that instead of using funds to provide temporary fixes, a full-scale project to correct the problem would be the best solution, if money could be used for it.
A resolution may not be far off.
Councilman James Oddo (R-Mid-Island/Brooklyn) wrote to the city Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in September to share complaints from Travis residents about the road.
"Residents have informed my office that Travis [Avenue], between Victory Boulevard and Mulberry Avenue, constantly floods when it rains or snows," reads the letter from Sept. 18 last year. "It is my understanding that Travis Avenue, near the intersection of Victory Boulevard, floods from both sides of the road and snow and rainwater freeze in the winter creating a hazardous situation."
Oddo hoped the agency would investigate the matter and notify his office of findings so he could advise his constituents accordingly.
His office has remained in contact with agencies via email, said Oddo's spokesman, Christopher DeCicco.
"We are asking to look at all available options to deal with the water runoff problems," he said.
The city Department of Transportation (DOT), speaking for itself and the DEP, said Travis, which runs through tidal wetlands, was resurfaced in 2007 and DOT crews regularly monitor the roadway and make any necessary repairs, including rehabilitation work completed last month.
"The agency is also working with our partners to prepare a capital project, currently in the design stage, to widen and reconstruct the roadway between Draper Place and Park Drive North," said DOT spokesman Nicholas Mosquera. "Given the roadway's low elevation, the agency is also considering climate resiliency measures as the capital project planning continues such as raising the street and installing a concrete base to improve drainage and prevent ponding."
A spokeswoman for the state Department of Environmental Conservation, which oversees the street's neighboring wetlands, would need to approve permits for city design and repair concepts.

When you are a kid, all you want to do is grow up. And once you have all of those wonderful important adult responsibilities, all you want to do is go back to being a kid. While this is pretty much impossible (except in Hollywood), nostalgia is a great way to remember what it feels like to be younger, if only for a moment. Visiting your old high school, biting into a burger from the favorite place where you grew up, or going to the county fair in the summer all can have a great rejuvenating effect.
The Mahoning Valley is steeped in memories of growing up. There are tons of places, people, foods, TV shows and landmarks on which both current and former residents can reminisce, and have a common bond. For those who like to escape Responsibility Street and Student Loan Avenue and take a walk down Memory Lane, there are many resources available to help relive those glory days.
First, one can go to where everything seems to be (at least if it is more than 144 characters), Facebook. For instance, those with happy memories of local TV can join the Tom Holden Fan Club group. The legendary anchorman, who passed away in 2005, was a familiar face to anyone growing up in the Mahoning Valley. Almost every commercial break contained a news brief from Tom Holden, reminding us to watch him for more information at six. Currently, 291 Facebook users are listed as fans on the page, which has photos of Holden and discussion boards where they can share their memories.

The sign for the former Nannicola's is a familiar and nostalgic sight to those driving along U.S. Route 422 in Warren.
Food is another nostalgia trigger. Since you can not only see it, but smell it, it is doubly effective at bringing back memories. The Canfield/Trumbull County fairs are very good at this and for committing various deep-fried sins.
When you couldn't wait until summer, many area residents looked to the Red Barn. The familiar barn-shaped fast-food restaurants were scattered throughout our area, but have long since been converted to other businesses (i.e.: a hot dog joint on Mahoning Avenue in Austintown). The restaurant featured burgers, chicken and fish, personified by the "Hungries" mascots. For those wishing they had a Big Barney burger or a box of those awesome fries, there is still a restaurant in Bradford, Pa., called The Farm that serves the Red Barn food.
Red Barn memories can be shared and conjured at www.barnbuster.net, a Web site created by former franchise owners where they share collections of Red Barn memorabilia, photos of former Red Barn buildings as they are now, and recipes for the menu items. There is also a Facebook group for fans of the former franchise.
Fact Box
What I?remember about growing up in the Mahoning Valley ...
"Tom Holden! And Hills Department Store's bag of popcorn."
- Robert Leonard, Washington, D.C., formerly of Warren
"Hills popcorn! Yes! I miss Eastside Girls Softball. Those days were the best!"
- Sarah Bokone, Warren
"When Aulizio's had a teen dance club on Friday nights."
- Dana Sulonen, Tribune sports writer, Champion
"Hills popcorn! Yes! I miss Eastside Girls Softball. Those days were the best!"
- Sarah Bokone, Warren
"Don't forget about 'Reisman's, Reisman's, downtown Niles!"
- Julian Longo, Cortland
"Hills ... actually, I remember when the entire Liberty Plaza wasn't a ghost town. Phar-Mor, Hills, the pet store, Sally's, etc. But Hills with the free popcorn was by far my fave. Also, when Stan Boney used to answer weather questions on the news. Someone from my class had one answered once."
- Glenna Fitch, Hubbard
Another TV memory for anyone in Trumbull County is the Big Chuck 'n' Lil John show. Pretty much the entire weekend was run by these two guys on the Cleveland area channel, which was also received in the Youngstown-Warren area. Whether it was "Big" Chuck Schodowski and "Lil" John Rinaldi hosting old monster movies, or showing their goofy skits like "Cuyahoga Jones," the show was on pretty much this writer's entire childhood. More memorable than the very, very tall and very, very short hosts was the giant cardboard gorilla that stood in the background as the hosts told us that "The Gate" or "The Blob" would be back after these commercials. The two are still going strong, and fans can show their appreciation at several upcoming events. Big Chuck is doing a book tour in support of his autobiography (dates are at bigchuckandliljohn.com/index.html). And fans of the show's predecessor, the late, great Ghoulardi (whose son is director Paul Thomas Anderson), can attend this year's Ghouldardifest, which is Oct. 23-25 at the Mariott at the Cleveland Airport. Fans of all ages can share their memories of local television by way of Cleveland.
Whether it is one of these things that sparks your memories of growing up in the Mahoning Valley, or any other, you can be sure you aren't alone in those sentiments. So, if you decide to stroll down Memory Lane, be sure to make it back in time to pay the rent.

Fashionable Christmas gifts for her
So I know I've been a little lax in the Christmas posting – but honestly, have been up to my eyes. As well as blogging and the occasional feature writing stint, I work in production and have been doing (almost) …
So I know I've been a little lax in the Christmas posting – but honestly, have been up to my eyes. As well as blogging and the occasional feature writing stint, I work in production and have been doing (almost) five-day weeks of late, which doesn't leave an awful lot of time for le blogging. But lo! I have changed my ways, and here follow a selection of gifts for her, in a range of budgets.
First up, the designer selection – for the slightly more cash-heavy wallet and perhaps the expensive-tasted lady. (Then again, I don't really think of gifts in terms of price; if it's the right gift for the recipient, it doesn't really matter how much you spent on it.) Moralising aside, above (clockwise from top left) we have Yves Saint Laurent's Arty enamel ring, from Net-a-Porter, at £115. I love the chunky enamel paired with the turquoise – just perfect.
Next up? A necklace by Merle O'Grady, via My-Wardrobe, for €356.40. I love the idea of pairing a statement necklace with a really plain tee. My new favourite thing is to pair a very loose Cos T-shirt with a (slightly cheap but no less amazing) bejewelled necklace, jeans and Converse. So chic (yes, in 1992, I know).
Then we have this amazing waterfall Helmut Lang leather jacket – but hold on to your hats, because this costs €1,650 – from My-Wardrobe. The shearling is very right now, and this jacket will make a gorgeous addition to anyone's wardrobe. HOWEVER, it's ridiculously expensive. And shearling will go out of fashion again. But Christmas is a time for kind of pointless spending, in a way . . . so go for it, if you can afford it!
Then last up, this is kind of in the realm of ridiculous gifts but I would love it. Because I'm a label whore, yes. It's Mulberry's Macbook cover, from the Apple Store, for €433.53. I know, it's a joke, but it's only gaaaargeous. Can you imagine the envious looks you'd get, toting this around your local Starbucks?
Now we've got the high-street version, and no less gorgeous for it. I've tried, as much as possible, to stick with accessories – in general, actually – because clothing is so difficult to buy for other people. So, clockwise from top left: starting with the gorgeous Teacup necklace from Suki Tea, for £18.21. Obviously for the tea-lover in your life, but it's very sweet. Kooky? Yes. But probably not something anyone would ever buy for themselves, which kind of makes it perfect for Christmas.
Then there's Topshop's oversized straw box bag. I LOVE kooky bags, and this one fits the bill perfectly. (My only gripe is that I'm not quite sure how overseized it is; Topshop, put your bags on models, wouldja?!) It's a lovely neutral colour, kooky enough so that your recipient won't suspect you think her boring, but safe enough that it won't massively offend anyone (as, say, a purple one might – some people, you'll be shocked to hear, don't like purple).
Then there's the Priceless necklace, which kind of fills the gap for small, thoughtful gifts that might just mean something – it's wearable, and it's minimal, not usually adjectives that whet my appetite for purchasing, but this is just clean enough to make me have an unexpected grá for it.
And, last but not least? Asos's Mulberry imitation satchel, in leopard print and black leather, for £85. This reminds me of Alix something terrible, and I just love it. I toyed with purchasing it a few weeks back, and didn't – and now Christmas is upon me and I have more important people to buy for. I cry.

Amos LONDON Sr. Codicil
dated May 24th 1805
Transcription by Jack London, 25 Mar 2004 and contributed to the TNGENWEB Marshall County for Free Genealogy
To my friends and acquaintances of Surry County –
I am in the 68th year of my age and the forepart of my life was agreeable and pleasant and as on did I live in my family with utmost content and satisfaction until about twenty years ago my old woman began to incur my displeasure and she together with her friends and children, to wit, my two sons and some of the BILLS has in hundreds of ways too tedious and too delicate to describe has impaired my feelings and fretted me to distraction. I am left without consort, I am reduced to almost poverty, and in particular abused and beaten by Amos, spit upon, frowned upon by him and his family and treated in the most ungrateful manner almost unheard of by a son to his father, so much repeated illusage that my poor old gray hairs are almost brought down with sorrow to the ground
I know my friends I am _____ and always was as all men are to human frailties from impulse of passion which has been in a great manner occasioned by the illtreatment of my two sons and their mother continually joining together to disturb my peace and happiness at home, and as my intentions were always for to support of my children by my industry and labor in a decent manner and receiving nothing in turn but abuse ridicule that would irritate any man of spirit this as I before mentioned being the desires of my heart such as the great and good will known to contribute to my familys welfare and not being received with kindness and tenderness that a father has a right to expect from his sons has made such a deep impression on my heart as to crave death rather than to live in a world where I no more expect any content, I therefore bid farewell to my aquaintences and in particular to my children and their mother with a request that Amos deliver to his sister Sally SUMMERS all my moveable effects, I shall endeavor to travel to some distant part where I hope receive happiness in and thus a blessed return to Jesus Christ.

The opening of the aquarium is a major Charleston event, and Theodosia has been hired to cater tea, scones, and sandwiches for the private party to honor dignitaries and big buck donors. Things are going swimmingly, until Theodosia escapes the party for a momentary rest, only to discover the body of a man entangled in a net, drowned in one of the aquarium's state-of-the-art tanks.
To make matters worse, the victim is Theodosia's former boyfriend Parker Scully. The EMTs on the scene think Parker's drowning was an accident, but when Theodosia notices what look like defense wounds on his hands, she realizes that someone wanted Parker dead. The local police aren't keen on hearing her theory-especially because of her ties to the victim-so Theodosia knows that if she wants Parker's killer brought to justice, she'll have to jump into the deep end and start her own investigation…

"Your success is only limited by your own imagination and your hard work."
—Mark Hughes, First Distributor and Founder of Herbalife International (1956-2000)
A leading worldwide nutrition and meal replacement industry , and a much healthier alternative to obesity surgery leading to natural weight loss, is unquestionably Herbalife International. Herbalife Products dominate varieties of healthy meal replacement shakes, meal replacement bars and other healthy weight management nutrition products.
Interest in healthy weight management pervades all areas of life, whether the issue is obesity, weight management, how to get good solid nutrition, healthcare, wellness, sports nutrition, economics, business, globalization, Internet marketing, social media – as Jim Cramer would say, "Holy Cow!" In fact, Jim Cramer recently interviewed Herbalife International CEO Michael Johnson on CNBC's television show "Mad Money" on February 22, 2012 and had only encouragement and glowing remarks about Herbalife Distributors and the corporate management. If you missed the interview, I've captured it for you below so you can see for yourself, as the dream founded by Mark Hughes, lives on, through the daily consumption model:
There are so many ways to become a fixed-based Herbalife Distributor, with people coming to you in your local area. As more and more people are learning Internet marketing, it makes being a fixed-base Herbalife Distributor easy. Read some stories about how some of my distributors, like Angelica King and Althea Edwards signed up, to benefit their own health and their family's at wholesale prices. While other direct sales companies are struggling, Herbalife International keeps bringing in the numbers, and it seems that with every new news article, Herbalife has opened business in yet another country!
Hope you enjoyed watching Jim Cramer's interview of Michael Johnson on "Mad Money." An Herbalife Quick Start Program, is included in the large International Business Kit, in case you're wondering what products are in it. To become an Herbalife Distributor, feel free to cut and paste my sponsor ID: 10Y196436, give the 1st three letters of my last name, CRA and click here.

The Separation of Higher Powers
Richard Albert
Boston College - Law School; Yale University - Law School
November 4, 2011
Southern Methodist University Law Review, Vol. 65, No. 1, 2012
The very first words of the very first amendment to the United States Constitution continue to frustrate the quest for constitutional clarity. The Bill of Right's Establishment Clause commands in plain terms that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion," but the legal interpretation and political implications of the Clause remain contested today as ever before. What may government require of religion? What may religion demand of government? How much of its independence must religion cede to government? And how closely may government collaborate with religion? These enduring questions admit of no definitive answers, at least not without an organizing logic that can bring coherence and purpose to the Establishment Clause. In this Article, I suggest that the concept of the separation of powers can help do just that. Using separation of powers theory, I construct a framework for clarifying the meaning of the Establishment Clause, giving political actors guidance for crafting policy pursuant to it, and making predictable its interpretation in courts.

In her work, "Silversmiths of Lancaster, Pennsylvannia, 1730-1850," Vivian Gerstell describes Charles Hall (1742-1783) as a "prominent citizen as well as silversmith." She further remarks that he "played a prominent role in Lancaster during the Revolution. In 1774, he was a member of the Committee of Correspondence and of the Committee of Observation."

This pair of coin silver tongs measure a lengthy 6 1/4" long and weigh nearly 1.7 T. oz.
Stamped "Rockwell" along with a sheaf of wheat pseudo hallmark, this identifier is attributed to Edward Rockwell by both Louise Belden and John McGrew in their respective works on marks. He is to be distinguished from Samuel D. Rockwell with whom Edward was in partnership 1815-47, with some similarity of marks.
This item appears to date from Edward's early working years, 1803-14...

Materials Storage
The WSULS Materials Storage Operation was created in order to house and provide access to materials held by the library but rarely used by its patrons. In the age of the modern library where the buildup of unused print materials causes a great limitation of space, Materials Storage alleviates the strain by housing materials while providing access through a convenient request service.
Storage houses material held from many different libraries and collections. Briefly stated, Storage retains older journals from the Purdy/Kresge and Science/Engineering libraries, various law documents including Michigan Supreme Court Records and Briefs, Closed Master's Thesis, Library of Congress materials as well as a wide array of monographic titles.
To see how Materials Storage holdings are listed in the catalog, click here.
Our mission is to serve the storage and retrieval needs of the WSU Library System, its users and related administrative offices with zero product loss and 100% on-time retrieval services.
Service Goals
Our goal is to satisfy both the needs of internal and external customers by:
- Housing library materials in a safe and stable environment
- Provide access to materials retained in our collection by through multiple methods of requesting material, a convenient online form or fax request.
- Preservation of the physical integrity of materials for long-term use
- Maintain accurate holdings of Storage material in the online catalog.
The Storage Operation is located in the basement of the WSU Undergraduate Library and currently holds over 800,000 volumes of material including books, journals, phonographs, government documents, wall-maps, slides and filmstrips – all which can be requested online or through fax from any computer or checkout desk in the WSU Library System.
Although physical access to the Storage Operation is granted only by appointment, all Storage requests are delivered to on-campus locations weekdays. Deliveries times are not guaranteed, but typically arrive to most locations by 11am and 5pm. Requests received by Storage within one hour of the scheduled delivery time will wait for the next batch delivery. No deliveries are made past 5:00pm or weekends. Deliveries are made within eight (8) business hours to non-campus WSU locations.
Delivery Schedule
All requests are delivered Mon.- Fri. from 10:00am - 4:30pm for main and medical campus delivery. Requests received after 3pm in some cases may require waiting until the next day for delivery. Requests to be delivered to our Oakland or Macomb Extension centers can take up 24-48 hours to arrive. No deliveries are made past 5:00pm or on weekends.
In case your request has not been provided please check your email for an irretrievable request memo from Storage prior to calling our office.
All irretrievable request memos explain why the material is not available with suggestions for your next course of action.
The Library System reserves the right to limit choice of delivery location and delivery times based on the format, type or condition of the materials requested (e.g. rare or fragile material). Patrons should provide accurate contact information in case special arrangements must be made.
In order for us to meet our service goal, all citations available must be given for journal, periodical, and government document requests. Please give your contact information in case we are unable to complete your request.
* Notes: In order for us to meet our service goal, call numbers and/or all citations available must be given for monograph, journal and government document requests.
Please give your contact information in case we are unable to complete your request. In case of irretrievable requests, Storage will send an e-mail or fax response to you with an explanation. If possible, we will also include alternative method of accessing the material.
Sometimes fragile and brittle items require extra processing to ensure their safety through circulation processes and make take longer to deliver than expected.

Let me first apologize for the lack of pictures, I've come to learn people expect them nowadays on here I figured I would post anyway since there aren't that many Skybus reviews on this site.
I was excited to be flying Skybus, I always like to try new carriers and since my sister lives in Columbus I was excited to be able to fly directly there from Newburgh, I live in Danbury, CT, a little less than an hour down the highway. $86 roundtrip I couldn't beat it.
108 New York (Newburgh, NY) to Columbus, OH 8:11 PM 9:44 PM
I checked in at home the day before and was assigned boarding group 2. Group 1 is for priority boarding, I didn't want to spend extra, so I passed on it, I planned on carrying only a carry on to avoid the baggage charge as well.
I got to the airport a little before 6:30 and parked in the overflow parking lot, the shuttle driver informed he was the only one working. I think the PA will need to upgrade their shuttle system as Stewart grows and the long term parking is used more often.
I ate at Quizno's, pretty much the only dining choice at Stewart and cleared security easily. I headed to the gate, I wasn't sure what to expect, no one was camped out in the boarding groups like they sometimes do for Southwest, people were waiting patiently, a few people were chatting with the gate agent to see if the flight was full, which it wasn't.
At about 7:40 they had the boarding groups line up, the agent kept reminding us to have our boarding passes in hand and be ready, even though the inbound hadn't even landed yet. I must say when it landed they turned it around quick, the second the last people deplaned we were already boarding. Group 1 was fairly small, so I'm guessing not many people ponied up the extra $10 for boarding. As I waited to board I learned people were headed for a long weekend like myself, a couple guys were returning on business to CMH. They said if it hadn't been for a cheap flight they couldn't have gone.
We would be flying on the Virgin plane painted in Nationwide colors, which made me happy since I know they have a little more leg room. We boarded and I noticed right away they hadn't really gone gangbusters on the cleaning, the floor was trashed with litter, they got the big stuff, but lots of crumbs, wrappers, etc.
I snagged an aisle seat in row 4 and had an empty middle seat next to me for the whole flight. Boarding was very quick and we took off on time.
I had to laugh at a woman who boarded and couldn't "find her seat" on her boarding pass "oh the seats aren't assigned" she replied, I just thought it was funny she didn't realize until she was actually on the plane.
They didn't really have many meals to Buy on Board, a bagel and something else and then all the prepackaged snacks. I just got a water. They came by with the cart of products, but there was no heavy sell. FA's didn't play games or do anything extra quirky with the announcements.
One critique of Skybus is there uniforms, they had lots of T shirts with funny sayings on them, all in black and orange, they all sort of looked like half assed halloween costumes, but I guess that is one way to save money and make the flight cheaper.
The return flight
107 Columbus, OH to New York (Newburgh, NY) 6:24 PM 7:46 PM
I had Monday off from work, but decided to fly home on Sunday in case of weather problems.
Departing from Columbus was fairly routine. I was surprised that Skybus didn't have a bigger check in operation, I found it to be fairly small. I had to check in at the airport this time and wound up in boarding group 3. I also couldn't find any monitors for Skybus before security so I wasn't sure if my flight was on time or not. In fact once I did clear security I noticed some of their flights were just delayed, it never said the new time, just delayed. Mine was on time though and I waited to move down to the boarding area since there isn't anything to do down there, there are no jetways down there. Boarding was once again smooth and I was relieved to see the same plane taking us back to Newburgh. I was at the beginning of group 3 and since they board from the rear and the frontI was able to get an aisle seat in row 4 again. The way it worked they sent group one in the front of the plane, group 2 to the end of the plane, and group 3 to the front of the plane, so I got right on the plane whereas those toward the end of group 2 where still on the stairs to board.
Long story short, I don't see any advantage of the priority boarding, maybe on a longer flight I'd want the security of an exit row with the extra leg room.
This flight had more choices to Buy on Board including sandwiches and a fruit and cheese plate, but I slept on this one. They didn't bring the item cart by but did say to let the FA's know if you were interested in them. We landed on time and I actually was the first one of the plane since the people in front of me had a zillion carry-on's stowed in the rows farther back. I headed right to the curb to wait for the one and only driver to take me back to long term parking.
Overall I enjoyed the Skybus experience, you can't beat the price at all, especially on a short flight. I wish they offered connections though.

Super Mario All-Stars Review
It might be a tad overpriced at £24.99 for a ROM dump of four SNES games, but Nintendo's ever-loyal fans won't find it hard to justify dropping the cash regardless.
The Lost Levels is the true successor to Super Mario Bros. in Japan, finding its way to western shores under a different name to mask Nintendo's dirty little secret. Those with confidence in their gaming ability will lap up the challenge on offer here; The Lost Levels is easily the most hardcore offering on the disc, with some of the most dastardly displays of level design you're likely to see in a platform game.
Super Mario Bros. 3 is still the highlight, for me at least. The introduction of an overworld gave the game a much more impressive sense of scale than its predecessors, with new power-ups such as the Super Leaf and Tanooki Suit allowing Mario to take to the skies for the first time. It's a more diverse experience, too, with eight distinct worlds and memorable boss battles against the evil-yet-endearing Koopalings. It's pretty darn hard, too, but not in that overly frustrating way of The Lost Levels.
As this is Mario's 25 year anniversary in the plumbing and rescuing princesses trade, Nintendo has been kind enough to pop the game in a rather nice red box (although I expect many would have preferred a steel tin), complete with audio CD and history of Mario booklet. The CD features 20 tracks spanning the entire breadth of the series, from the original Super Mario Bros. to Mario Galaxy 2. A hefty nine of those tracks are just 3 or 4 second long sound effects, though, which feels like a bit of a con in my mind. The history book feels a little half-arsed, too; a slightly higher quality version of an instruction manual. Across its thirty pages are details on each game in the series, with concept drawings, character designs and notation from Shigeru Miyamoto himself. It's pleasant enough to flick through, but could have been padded out better with more artwork and insight from the developers. It would have been much nicer in hardback, too.
Despite these lingering wishes, Super Mario All-Stars is still a tidy little package. The games themselves are the real stars here, only really let down by lack of 60hz support. It's doubtful that the compilation will ever find its way onto the Virtual Console in this form, so now's the perfect opportunity to see what all the fuss was about if you missed out on the original All-Stars back in the day. It might be a tad overpriced at £24.99 for a ROM dump of four SNES games, but Nintendo's ever-loyal fans won't find it hard to justify dropping the cash regardless.

So.....I'll keep giving you progress updates on my ankle. I had the stiches removed this morning from the hardware removal I had two weeks ago. They also took X-rays and it all looks how it should be looking. My main goal now is to make sure I keep doing all my PT exercises to get everything stretched and loosened up so I can eventually walk without limping.
It is a mental game to make my right leg move in front of my left leg. It still feels a little awkward but not as much. I basically have to walk like I'm doing a sobriety test. Not that I've ever had to walk a sobriety test but that's how the PT described it. Heel to toe, heel to toe. That way my leg and foot do the walking and not my hip. I can walk up stairs just fine. Still have a little trouble walking down stairs. It's interesting to me to see what hurts and what doesn't. It helps me know what stretches I still need to work on. My PT would be proud of my observations, I think....as long as I continue to do something about it. Which, I am. I actually tried to jog in place yesterday. Yeah...can't do that yet but that's my goal by the end of the month.

It's true - there's always light in a city. And noise. I actually find when it's too quiet that I get more wary. And I like the quiet of the predawn hours a lot. But country quiet can be unsettling until I get used to it. Also, I've walked alone in this city (the murder capital of the country lol) at 2am a few times, but I'd never ever do that in the country. I'm uh-skared of banjo playin' - well you know.

We sailed from Ushuaia on the 13th January not knowing what to expect!!!! Various cruise reviews had described very different experiences of cruising with Hurtigruten and we sailed very much hoping for the best!!! The Fram left port later than expected and we thought ...here we go....is this a sign that the cruise will not go well!!!!
However our concerns were ill founded and the cruise delivered an experience we shall never forget.
The scenery, wildlife and the wonder of nature that unfolded before our eyes was awesome!!!!
Magnificent icebergs ,stunning glaciers , vast wilderness, fascinating penguins,frolicking whales and sleek , sleepy seals were some of the sights that we were privileged to experience. The Fram certainly delivered all we could have wished for.
I feel though that I should point out that this is an expedition voyage , catering for passengers who are keen to learn about the Antarctic environment and who are flexible , adaptable travellers. We quickly learnt that the Antarctic is unpredictable and on several occasions our itinerary was adapted, changing by the day!!!
The expedition team on board were very professional. Their in depth knowledge of Antarctica was amazing . They presented as a very dedicated team, keen to share their knowledge and their experiences. Our expeditions from the ship were well prepared and they went that extra mile in making sure that we made the most of every minute spent in Antarctica.
Life on board was informal . Sea days went quickly, relaxing, listening to briefings from the expedition team about penguins, seals, history of Antartica and it's origins, or simply watching the scenery from the many large viewing windows on board.
Mealtimes were informal with 3 set dining evenings . There was no dress code and people wore anything from casual wear to smart casual . There were many different nationalities which led to many an interesting conversation at mealtimes or when relaxing with a drink in the bar.
The food as you would expect had a distinctly Norwegian flavour. The buffet menus had plenty of choice with some interesting fish dishes !!!
The staff on board were polite and helpful. They always had a smile to share with you and gave an excellent variety show towards the end of the cruise.
Clothes wise we did bring too much!!! The ship,is very warm and one layer of thermal wear , plus waterproofs is fine for outdoors!! You are given a waterproof jacket on board and you can take this home with you. The ship also hires rubber boots for wearing on shore excursions and these were excellent, gripping the ice/snow .there is also a small shop on board so if you do forget anything it's not a problem!!
There is 24 hour tea& coffee and very yummy home made cookies available . Bring a thermal mug with a lid or buy one onboard.......very useful when the ship is lurching through Drakes passage!!!
Photo opportunities abound and the ships photographer led some very useful sessions.
At the end of the voyage we were given a CD which included the daily programme, blog and a map showing where our ship had travelled. This plus our photographs &memories will be treasured by us for years to come.
Journey to Antarctica with Hurtigruten aboard the Fram if you want to set foot &experience Antarctica's wilderness . Journey on board a large cruise ship should you wish to gaze from afar. The choice is yours. I know which I would choose ........

edit: i just tried running the trainer after i loaded up my saved game. it freezes the screen, but sounds play as if the game is still running. im forced to alt-tab out and had to go into task-manager to shut the game down. I have the original boxed ver of spore, with creepy and cute on Origin.
[Edited by typhon99, 1/10/2013 1:16:22 PM]
Sorry to bring up an old topic, but i just bought "Spore Complete" on the christmas steam sale, and the latest trainer for the steam(08.09.2011) one dont work, only about 3 options get the "activated" msg, none of the rest work, and i mean none, iv followed the troubleshooter guide, and im very computer literate so iv tried all the other things that might help, yet to no avail, anyone had the same problem but found a fix? and if not, or if a new version is out and no trainer was made, consider this a request for one xD, thanx as always.
Since you bought the "complete" version I wonder if you should not try the most recent Galactic Adventures version since the complete version would include that expansion. On a side not, Origin was giving this title away somewhere in the last year so I picked it up, and the trainer does work for me... though I really only played the game for about an hour. Hey, like I said, they were giving it away.

The operational cost of vulnerability management can be very high when security activities are managed or implemented manually or in a non-integrated manner. But you can significantly reduce this cost, while improving overall security posture, by automating and integrating vulnerability management activities with each other.
View this paper to explore the operational and economic efficiencies associated with the implementation of proactive, integrated, and automated vulnerability management compared to the inefficiencies of a reactive, manual, and fragmented security operation

Many of us are familiar with social networking websites. Some of us are even addicted to them, spending half of our lives away on online applications. Facebook is at the moment the most famous of all web-based social networks. For those unaware of the phenomenon, a little explaining may come in handy: Basically, a social network allows users to join networks that are organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profile to notify friends about themselves. Sounds fun, right?
But imagine if there was a social network that combined the fun of it all and at the same time made a positive difference in the arena of human development. Wouldn't that be great? You'd be interacting socially, and yet you would also be helping people. Does this sound too good to be true? Well it does, but it is also a reality. Ofok for Human Development, a respectable NGO based in Cairo has just launched its own proprietary "Ofok Human Network." The application is intended to get people with similar interests to solve local community problems by organizing and coming up with effecting solutions which can then be implemented on the ground. It is also the first of its kind to be in Arabic, answering local needs in a language that can be understood.
According to Ofok human development can only occur if an effective human network is in place. The equation is simple: Human development plus a resourceful human network equals community development. Ofok, like many other professional educational institutes, has long contributed to human development through its high-quality training programs in ICT and business courses. There is nothing particularly new about that. However, their human network is something quite unique. It grants young people the prospects of doing something and to turn their dreams into a reality. For example, many talented young people may want to get together to form a company or a micro-enterprise. This cannot be done alone, and so the Ofok Human Network provides the ideal opportunity for individuals to meet, start something up, and build a legacy together. It can be anything: from a web-design company, to offering translation services, to providing networking solutions. The human network will allow people to exchange information, provide access to training programs and provide employment opportunities. The possibilities are endless.
We'll have to wait and see how the Ofok Human Network will evolve as time goes by. But the possibility for micro-enterprises, SMBs, employment opportunities, and the sharing of information to take place are all a step in the right direction to strengthen the development process in Egypt, the Middle East and Africa.

Seymour's hopes on the line
Just how are the Lions football and netball sides shaping up this season?CHALPAT SONTI April 9, 2014 3:56am
Concluding our look at local sides' football and netball hopes for 2014, CHALPAT SONTI previews the season for Seymour, ahead of the Lions opening clash at Kings Park on Saturday against Benalla.
It's time to step up.
That's really the message to Seymour's established and budding senior players as the Lions prepare to launch their 2014 Goulburn Valley Football League season.
The past few years have been like a yo-yo for Seymour, last year narrowly missing the finals after a fairytale run to the grand final in 2012. Prior to that there were some ''out'' years after the triple premeirship glory.
This year the Lions have a new coach in Brent Colbert, a new team surrounding him and a couple of new signings. In comparison to the world of country football, there has been relatively little movement otherwise, but the club really needs the faith it has shown in many of its players in the past few years to start to pay off.
Into the side comes the marquee signing, former Sydney Swan Brett Meredith, as well as Brent Le Cerf (Nagambie) and Ben Gleeson (Essendon district league side Greenvale). The outs are similarly few with Robbie Douglas, Brendan Liddell and Tom Robertson leaving and Gerard Liddell likely to restrict himself to reserves footy.
Seymour has had three practice games, and Colbert has been happy with the improvement shown in each one.
''Probably our first game (against Lower Plenty at Kings Park) we expected quite a scrappy one,'' he said.
''I've tweaked a few things in terms of style of play and structures and it just took a bit of getting used to against Lower Plenty but when we played our next game (at Old Ivanhoe) the improvement was evry big.
''I guess the pleasing thing for me is we're getting better in all the aspects we want to get better in.''
But the practice games have uncovered a few pleasant surprises too. Several players, including Le Cerf, Nick Clydesdale, Rhys Clarke and Hugh Robertson, have shown they have gone up another level.
The constant for Seymour in the past couple of years has been the performance of the back six and the forward line. Both have been good game-in game-out, but it is the midfield where games are won and lost and no-one is more aware of that than Colbert.
''The thing about the GV is that all the best players are in the midfield,'' he said.
''We don't have the strongest midfield going around but this year I want us to be pretty much the most disciplined and best structured midfield there is. We've been doing a lot of work on it.''
Key to that has been Glenn Cole as mids coach.
''I can't say enough about what he's done,'' Colbert said.
''The mids have been training as a group for an extra session each week and I think that's going to pay off.''
Meredith has also brought plenty to the club.
''We all know he's a fantastic player and he adds skill and class to the midfield, but it's the knowledge he's brought to the boys as well. He's actually quite a mature kid in regards to his footy brain and he's lifted the standard. Jase Cole is another who has been standing out.''
Le Cerf has been a bolter in the pre-season and has an attitude that pleases his coach.
''He does the basics well at training but doesn't stand out,'' Colbert said.
''The way he goes about his game is the same as training, he just gets the job done. I thought he might be a solid type of player with us, but he's been in the top three or four each game. He just makes the right decisions and while I don't want to put too much pressure on him, he's been a real find.''
Le Cerf is likely to feature on a wing, along with Dan Freeman. The core of the midfield will be Meredith, Cole, Adrian McCarthy, Dylan and Rory Scopel and Harry Wheeler.
McCarthy has been the most improved player at the Lions in recent seasons and Colbert wants to see that continue - not just as a tagger.
''He took some massive scalps last year playing on the best mid every week and keeping them to 10-15 touches but this year I want him to take his game to another level.
''There's too much improvement in him to be just another tagger. He's still going to be on the best mid but it won't be a full shutdown role. While he needs to eb a good stopper he also needs to get his own ball. He knows now he belongs in our midfield and is a good player and he's got that natural defensive role that a lot of midfielders don't have.''
Seymour's back six looks as good as any in the league. At full strngth it would include Colbert, Matt and Tim O'Keefe, Ash Walsh, Trent Fisher and Brandyn Grenfell at centre half back.
Grenfell's switch from ruckman is potentially exciting, and a vote of, and in, confidence.
''He's going to have the two O'Keefe's by his side guiding him,'' Colbert said.
''They're going to demand excellence and make sure he's concentrating. He's a confident kid and a lot of other kids could get lost in that role.''
Grenfell will also pinch hit as back-up ruckman with club legend Shane Schottner being the mainstay.
''Schotty's still our best ruckman and he's got a bit of an aura and presence about him where we all want to play for him,'' Colbert said.
Up front the devastating duo of Saad Saad and Paul Colbert will have Robertson - who took some giant strides last year and again in the pre-season - as a third tall and Clarke as a small in the Gerard Liddell mould. He has been another bolter through the pre-season.
''We've got a fantastic big man brigade down there and we just needed to polish it off with a small and he's put his hand up,'' Brent Colbert said.
So that's the basic structure. What about expectations?
''For me personally I always have them for myself so I've got high expectations for the team,'' Colbert said.
''If you go out and do what you want to do well, I know we'll be there at finals time. And let's be honest, no one wants Seymour making finals because no matter where we finish (in the top six) we make people nervous.
''This year we've got 28-30 blokes in the core group which means we've got depth and potentially a really strong reserves side as well and I've never seen those numbers in depth in my time here.
''The big thing is we need our 18-20 year-olds improving about 20 to 30 percent, the same with our 21-24s and if you look at the core experienced group you'd be rapt with five per cent there.
''The exciting part is I look at how guys like Dan and Tom Freeman, Trent Fisher and Jase Cole have improved and every player has shown something similar through the pre-season.
''But once the real season starts, that's the test.''
What a difference 12 months makes. At least that's the hope of everyone involved with Seymour netball this year.
Last year's promise is ready to be converted into this year's success, and no stone has been left unturned.
A-grade coach Ash Chapman has combined the top two grades into effectively an A/B squad and both sides (and the B-reserve) are brimming full of talent.
A-grade will initially see former Melbourne Vixen Kath Knott partner young gun Millie Brock in the shooters circle. New captain and reigning best-and-fairest Sarah Douglas will be joined in the midcourt by Rosie O'Sullivan and Erin Engel with former VNL player Rebecca Kelly partnering another young star Sarah Szczykulski in defence.
Which means there will also be some big names in the B-grade side. Former A-grade captain-coach Abby Misiti will be there - in a more expansive role - returning from a year off, while consistent A-grade midcourter Tegan Hansen, Grace O'Sullivan and defender Bec Bath will all be there with Ros Rutherford also returning from a two-year absence.
That means most of last year's B-grade side which made the finals will form the backbone of the B-reserve side, making that team much stronger as well.
But as Chapman said, he doesn't want the A- and B-grade sides to be seen as separate entities.
''It's about who fits best where and what combination of players works best,'' he said.
''I mean the B-grade side has been beating A-grade at times in practice games and I want them to think of themselves as one group. They're both just as good.
''I'd be looking throughout the year for many B-grade players to have played A-grade at some point and no one should hit that eligibility criteria (10 games at a higher grade means ineligible to move back down) if we share the load.''
Brock and Szczykulski have both been playing VNL and are raring to go in the GVNL. ''Millie's light years beyond where she was this time last year and her teaming with Kath is going to be hard to defend,'' Chapman said.
So far there have been two practice matches - an easy win over Broadford and a game with a difference hosting Diamond Creek on Thursday night. The visitors didn't bring as many players as they thought they would so played the first two quarters against the A-grade side and the second two aginst B-grade.
Chapman was pretty pleased overall.
''Against Broadford they committed to the structure and put the game plan out there consistently for four quarters which was a fantastic sign,'' he said.
''(Diamond Creek) was a bit different. We didn't commit to our game plan from the start and it wasn't as slick but we're going to have that. It's about how we go forward as a group, having faith in the game plan, and that's part of the learning.
''We're going to have those weeks where not everyone is going to play well, the structure is not quite coming off, the placement of the ball and execution of the skills aren't quite there but we have to learn to win ugly.''
So what are the expectations?
''We'd be expecting to make finals,'' Chapman said.
''There's no reason A- and B- shouldn't play finals, they're well-equipped teams with the right ammo and they can really put their stamp on the competition but they have to believe in themselves and the game plan.
''We started training in November, which was the first time we've started training that early, and our basic fundamental skills are much more advanced than this time last year. We're in a good place, we just need to realise we're going to have off moments... everyone can have a bad game but you can still win.
''We'll have options to shift players around the court and make changes to create shifts in momentum, which we couldn't do last year. This year we've got clearly defined options and we'll need them all to win.
''We just need to know we can execute our skills at a higher level and set the bar nice and high so we don't expect anything less.''

'Horrible Bosses' Trailer
Posted on Wednesday, May 11th, 2011 by Russ Fischer
Jason Bateman fans: today is all yours. We just saw a new theatrical trailer for The Change-Up, his body-switching comedy with Ryan Reynolds, and now here's the first trailer for Horrible Bosses. This is a comedy where three friends (Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) scheme, in seemingly moronic ways, to knock off their three bosses, played by Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston. We've had high hopes for this one, and the trailer has a few good laughs. (Many from Colin Farrell.) Check it out after the break. Read More »

I'm looking to shop DeMarco Murray, as I have three other solid RB options. I've been offered Dwayne Bowe, and am in need of a WR upgrade (I've got Stevie Johnson, Santonio, Gaffney). I could also try to swing a deal for Julio Jones. Should I obviously do the Murray for Bowe deal? One caveat is that this is a keeper league - am I going to regret not having Murray for years to come if I trade him now?
