Illuminate your space with both
When interior or exterior lighting is planned and installed properly, it can enhance design and create an exciting vibrant space. Lighting plans often are so complex that designers work with architects, builders and customers to create the perfect ambiance. Find out whether you need lamp light or overhead light for your space.
Lighting choices. All areas in the home can benefit from a variety of lighting sources. Ceiling mounted or recessed lights work well for general lighting purposes, and floor or table lamps are great for task lighting in the living areas and bedrooms. Under-cabinet lights and additional track or recessed lights are important for task lighting in work areas like the kitchen.
Brightness. Dimmer switches on overhead lights allow users to customize brightnesses based on the activities and desired mood of the room. Dimmer switches also help save energy by using only the desired amount of light and energy. Also, using energy-efficient bulbs like compact fluorescent and LED bulbs are great energy and money savers. They come in many levels of brightness and can be warm toned or bright.
Lamp light uses. Lamp light is generally considered a task light. This means that lamp light can focus warm, soft light in a small area without illuminating the rest of the room. A bedside table is the perfect spot for a lamp, which restricts light to a small area while others sleep. Lamp light also is useful in the family room. Watching television doesn�t require a bright light, but if someone else in the room would like to read the newspaper, a lamp will offer the task light for that individual.
Overhead light uses. Overhead light is excellent overall room lighting. It brightens the entire space to one level of light. This type of light is often employed in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and dining rooms. These rooms often benefit from a whole-room lighting solution. The addition of the dimmer switch is particularly useful in a dining room when the mood of dining is more intimate.

Goodale or bust!
The Columbus Dispatch - June 06, 2013 02:32 PM
Tom Sines / Dispatch
With this blog post the Dispatch librarians welcome our summer library intern, Corinne Smith. Corinne will be working with us here in the library - and writing blog posts for your reading enjoyment. I'd say she's off to a smashing start this post on Goodale Park. We're glad she's here. Enjoy!
In this photo published in The Dispatch in the summer of 1982, the bust of Dr. Lincoln Goodale,
Goodale Park's namesake, gets a ride on the back of a pickup truck driven by a Columbus Parks
Department employee. The bust was on its way to be re-cemented back on its pedestal after being
knocked down by vandals the previous winter.
Today, Goodale's bust is back in place and when he's not adorned with a tie-dyed shirt in honor of Comfest, he stoically welcomes visitors to the metropolitan oasis he preserved over 150 years ago. The bust was sculpted by the well-known Ohio sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward and was erected in 1888 at one of the park's main entrances.
In 1851, Dr. Lincoln Goodale sold the 40 acres of land to the City of Columbus for only $1.00.
The catch?
Goodale insisted the land forever be kept and preserved as a public park for free use by Columbus inhabitants – or else the land would revert back to the ownership of Goodale's heirs. With a good balance of natural landscape and man-made structures, the park became a model for many other urban retreats including New York City's Central Park.

Hey there,
in theory the intro to black and white class is going to start in november and end in late december or early january. I was hoping at the end of the course the class could curate a show of the work they did for the gallery.
Can i sign up for that?
Whatever the closest available week is to the theoretical end.
Thanks <3

A friend at church recently loaned me the New York Times bestseller Same Kind of Different as Me, which tells the story of how a wealthy art dealer named Ron Hall and a homeless man named Denver Moore struck up a friendship that changed both their lives. I'm only half way through it, but it's already instructive on several levels that connect to the work of Acton.
Denver grew up as an illiterate sharecropper in Louisiana, an orphan who loses a series of guardian relatives while growing up and eventually finds himself in a class a notch below sharecropper—the field laborer who isn't entitled to a share of the crops he works but simply works dawn to dusk for the food, clothing and minimal shelter he's given on credit. In Denver's case, since he couldn't read, write, or do arithmetic, he couldn't determine how much he owed, what the interest was, what his labor was worth, or even that he'd been denied his right to an education.
Economic conservatives talk a lot about the morality of the free economy, and the power of the markets to better the lives of the poor. It's stories like Denver Moore's that underscore why Acton spends so much time talking about a free and virtuous society, about the importance of ordered liberty. You see, in the book, at no point did anyone put a gun to Denver's head and make him pick cotton dawn till dusk. At a superficial level, he was a participant in an un-coerced labor market (slavery had been abolished generations ago, after all). But any thoughtful look at Denver's extraordinary story of struggle, despair, and escape will register the fact that Denver's liberty had been violated in a host of subtle and not-so-subtle ways during his youth. These were like the strands of a spider web: individually they are of little consequence and hard to see, but taken together they have the power to bind. (more…)

Contains mold-derived ingredient
Verified Purchase
Contains mold-derived ingredient
This is almost a great product except for the fact that it contains Choline Citrate. Any vitamin or mineral that includes the term "citrate" is a derivative of citric acid. Now you might think of citrus fruits when you hear of citric acid, fruits like lemons, oranges and limes. But citric acid is not made from citrus fruits. It is made from "aspergillus niger," otherwise known as "black mold." If you don't believe me, just google "citric acid industrial production" and you will see how it is made. It's not some nice mom in her kitchen squeezing lemons one at a time to make your citric acid - it's huge steel vats of black fungus. So any product that claims to contain citrate and to also be yeast free is not entirely truthful, especially if you're someone who is either sensitive to molds or has a less than perfect immune system. And if your immune system were perfect, you wouldn't be taking supplements in the first place. Unlike some reviewers, I don't care whether you click the Yes button or not. I'm not writing this to get your vote or your money. I'm writing it to help you avoid making the same mistake as me and to encourage Thorne, who usually make great products, to consider removing citrates.
Great product for "raw food" for cats
Posted by 5467584317179514742 on Oct 16, 2016
This is a product that was recommended to me for use in home preparing "raw" cat food, and it seems to work. It has a low odour and low flavour and the cats don't seem to mind the food. It is "cat use friendly". I have tried other brands and the animals turn up their noses at the food, so it isn't well received. But there is no issues with the Thorne Brand. Dishes are licked up clean. I have used it for about 7 years and would highly recommend it to other cat owners who are preparing their own raw food feeding.
Fantastic balanced products

I believe in Thornes credibility and I will keep buying this but I must say i felt no obvious difference except maybe after first couple of days of using it, I felt extra energy, but later on not so much...

I would love to send out more $5.00 gift certificates. What I would love even more is a way to put that on my personal website so my visitors can simply put their email address in and hit "submit", and viola, they get a $5.00 gift certificate that qualifies me for points, and earns them a bit of tea on the house. It also will likely earn adagio a few more customers in the process!
The idea is for a little box type widget I can just stick on my website, and or you could simply make an API through which I attach my member ID or some such, and it goes along with the certificate, so that when that certificate # is used, it's registered to my user account. I'm sure the system you currently have in place would take minimal if any re-working to add this feature. You'd merely need to expose a way to allow a remote site to send you an email address, an existing member ID ( or some other unique 'key' ). It's very likely that the framework that your current form uses inside your account page would be nearly perfect.
Anyway, this is just an idea I had. I plan to add a few tea reviews to my website, and it would be great if I could include a "Try this tea with $5.00 from Adagio, and Me!" widget for visitors to use.
Comments? Suggestions? Criticisms? All are welcome, just keep it constructive please.

Cold Hard Football Facts' Comeback King (@CaptainComeback)
If you were hoping for your team to deliver the gift of a fourth-quarter comeback win for Christmas, then you are surely disappointed this holiday season. Doubly disappointed if you are a fan of the Steelers, Giants, 49ers, Cowboys or Texans.
After last week's lone comeback by Dallas, Week 16 featured zero as the season of marquee blowouts continued. There were seven games with a comeback opportunity, and three road teams did deliver game-winning drives, but we were comeback-less again like Week 10. It is the first time since 2008 (weeks 7 and 12) that a season had no comeback wins in multiple weeks.
The Cowboys did nearly pull off another shocker, while Ben Roethlisberger just did something shockingly awful for the second straight week. Andrew Luck broke more records, while another rookie came up short on his final drive.
Season ReportFourth quarter comebacks: 65Game-winning drives: 78Games with 4QC opportunity: 132/240 (55.0 percent)10+ point comebacks wins (any point in the game): 37
Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh SteelersWinner: Cincinnati (13-10)Type: GWDQuarterback: Andy Dalton (5-9 at 4QC, 7-9 overall 4Q/OT record - table)
This was a do-or-die playoff game for the Steelers, and it went about as bad as some past home playoff games have gone for them.
It was time for the Cincinnati Bengals to stop being the "Bungles" and take care of a reeling Pittsburgh team. Early on, things looked good as the Bengals used a pick six of Ben Roethlisberger to take a 7-0 lead, then after the Steelers botched a 24-yard field goal, the Bengals went up 10-0.
But the Steelers have been down by 10 points in eight different games this season, so it was nothing new for them. They responded quickly in the no-huddle with a 60-yard touchdown to Antonio Brown, who ate up Pacman Jones on the double move.
The defense intercepted Andy Dalton on the first play of the second half, but as a common theme of the day, the offense could do nothing with it, going three and out. For a defense that only has 16 takeaways, you have to take advantage of them, especially when you get three.
It was an all-around bad mix for Todd Haley's offense. Too many runs that did not work, poor pass protection, and poor throws and decisions by Roethlisberger. The offense was just 2/14 on third down.
Cincinnati had their own struggles as they rushed 16 times for 14 yards while Dalton was sacked six times. Dalton almost came up with a big throw to A.J. Green on 4th and 22 (that really did happen), which was part of the wild coaching decisions this one had in it.
Pittsburgh gained some momentum with the stop, but three negative plays led to a 40-yard field goal that tied the game. Cincinnati was driving as the fourth quarter began, but Green fumbled at the PIT 30; the first lost fumble of his career.
But the Steelers went three and out again, and David DeCastro allowed another sack in his second career start. On 3rd and 17, Dalton's pass was tipped to stay in bounds and intercepted by Cortez Allen. It was basically a punt.
Another Pittsburgh drive stalled after a few dangerous, contested passes from Roethlisberger. The Bengals drove and chewed up clock, but eventually Marvin Lewis settled for a 56-yard field goal attempt. Now Lewis has been to Heinz Field many times and should be well aware of the difficulty of making a 50+ yard field goal.
Josh Brown was short, giving the Steelers great field position at their own 46. Some runs moved the ball into shaky field goal territory, but Rashard Mendenhall lost two yards, setting up a big 3rd and 8 at the CIN 40 with 2:00 left. To make matters worse, Heath Miller injured his knee and had to leave the game before this play.
This is at least the fifth time this year the Steelers have been in this situation, where one completion could be the difference in a game-winning field goal (Eagles/Ravens) and not winning (Titans/Cowboys).
But Haley's play-call was awful with the top two receivers (Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown) not even running routes for a first down, and getting zero separation. Roethlisberger scrambled, but looked slow and only gained four yards.
Mike Tomlin also apparently forgot about Heinz Field, and Shaun Suisham attempted a 53-yard field goal. As CBS pointed out, kickers are just 5/22 (22.7 percent) on field goals of 50+ yards in the regular season and postseason at Heinz Field.
Suisham's kick was straight enough, but too short. The Bengals took over with 1:47 to play. Dalton threw a bad bomb on 3rd and 1, and they went three and out. Just more bad play-calling.
The Steelers had 0:44 left at their own 11 with two timeouts in their pocket. Since each coach now remembers the field-goal range, this was going to be a tough situation. You are probably looking at gaining at least 59 yards to give yourself a 47-yard attempt.
From our one-minute drills, just one team (1987 Patriots over Raiders) went 59+ yards in the last 0:50 to kick a field goal since 1981. Even that drive included a 40-yard pass play to start it, and the Patriots blew the field goal before getting another shot (Raiders were offsides). These just do not happen, which is why you get overtime.
But that's where the Steelers blew it last week in Dallas after Roethlisberger's interception down the right sideline. This time he threw a 13-yard dump pass to Isaac Redman, and the clock was stopped for a delay of game penalty on the Bengals. Roethlisberger then had a pass tipped at the line which dangerously hung in the air for a bit. At this point you had to get nervous, and only 0:24 remained.
Then the dagger came.
Trying to make a play on a scramble to his right like he's been doing since 2004, Roethlisberger overthrew Wallace and Reggie Nelson was there for the interception. Nelson returned it to the PIT 46.
With a timeout left, one good completion from Dalton should do it. He delivered, and Green got out of bounds for 21 yards at the PIT 25. Brown, Seattle's kicker from Super Bowl XL, came out and calmly drilled the 43-yard field goal, knocking the Steelers out of the playoffs for some revenge.
Pittsburgh got the ball back with just three seconds left, and Redman had a fitting last play: at midfield he pitched the ball right to a Bengal for another giveaway to end the game.
To end the season for that matter. Once again the Steelers fail to three-peat in the postseason (missed in 2003, 2006 and 2009).
What caused it this time? A lot of the same problems in those past years: bad coaching and player mistakes from top to bottom. The Steelers' 2012 season was almost an entire series of one-score games that could have easily turned on one big play. But far too often the big play went the other team's way (4-7 at fourth quarter/overtime wins this year).
The late-season losses will fall back on Roethlisberger's shoulders with three critical interceptions in the last two weeks; two coming to basically end the game. That is very uncharacteristic of him.
Ben Roethlisberger's Clutch-Situation Interceptions (Losses)
at JAX
at SD
at RAI
3rd-7 (Pick 6)
at CRD
4th-5 (Hail Mary)
at HOU
2nd-10 (Hail Mary)
at DEN
2nd-10 (Pick 6)
at DAL
Make that 13 career interceptions in clutch situations (fourth quarter/overtime, tied or down 1-8 points) for Roethlisberger in losses. Five of them came in that troubled 2006 season. But there are three this season, which is more than the two he had that weren't Hail Mary's in the previous four seasons combined (2007-11).
Sunday's may have been the worst yet given the situation. Some of these past interceptions were not in severe moments of desperation that required a Hail Mary. Sunday's situation should not have been desperate at all in a tied game with such little time left.
You expect your future Hall of Fame quarterback to win a critical game when the team allows 13 points. Seven of those points are all on him for the pick six, while the last three are also heavily on his mistake.
Before Sunday, the Steelers were 55-3 (.948) when allowing 13 points or less since 2004. One of those losses was to Baltimore without Roethlisberger this year.
At home, Roethlisberger was a perfect 40-0 when the Steelers allowed 17 points or less in his career.
That record is 45-2 at home when the Steelers allow 20 points or less. Both losses are to the Bengals, including a critical 18-12 loss in 2009 on what was another off day by Roethlisberger.
He has won this team a lot of games, but the tough wins just have not come as often since Super Bowl XLIII. But it would be fitting for the Steelers to throw their season away, a season in which they lost to Oakland, Tennessee, Cleveland and San Diego.
The Bengals are not a very threatening team, but the defense has been legit, and they are in the playoffs for the second straight year. They finally took down one of the big boys in the AFC North.
New Orleans Saints at Dallas CowboysWinner: New Orleans (34-31 OT)Type: GWDQuarterback: Drew Brees (20-37 at 4QC, 31-43 overall 4Q/OT record - table)
Not a must-win game, but still an important one for Dallas as they look to win the NFC East or at least earn a Wild Card spot. But while the Saints were eliminated, Drew Brees has been on fire lately, and we would enjoy one of the finer passing clinics in NFL history between him and Tony Romo.
Think of this as the anti-Steelers/Browns. Both quarterbacks passed for at least 416 yards, seven combined touchdowns, and no interceptions in a 65-point display of offense.
It was all New Orleans early, but a missed 36-yard field goal kept the door open for Dallas to tie it with a 58-yard touchdown to Dez Bryant. Back and forth the teams went before DeMarco Murray fumbled late in the third quarter, setting up Brees at the DAL 5. He of course finished the drive with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Thomas.
The Saints were driving again in the fourth quarter, and that's when Marques Colston made a 60-yard gain on 3rd and 8. One play later Brees had his third touchdown pass of the day to complete a 98-yard touchdown drive. The Saints led 31-17.
Romo was playing well, but would need a lot of help to make this comeback. It did not help when Miles Austin and Murray dropped passes to start the drive. But Bryant was good again for 26 yards on 3rd and 10. Austin again had issues with his hands and Romo was sacked on a blitz.
The Saints did a decent job on the clock, but Romo would get it back with 4:45 left, and needing to go 80 yards. Bryant was open on a deep ball for 41 yards. Three plays later it was a 16-yard touchdown to Dwayne Harris on the back-shoulder throw with 3:35 to play.
New Orleans gained one first down, but came up a yard short. Rather than go for it on 4th and 1 at their own 35, they punted. Romo had 1:29 to go 64 yards without a touchdown. These drives are tough to come by, but Dallas has been on a roll in crunch time.
Murray was left alone, made two tacklers miss and gained 22 yards. After a 4-yard gain to Bryant, Romo went to his favorite target, Jason Witten, for 19 yards. After a spike just 0:32 remained at the NO 19. Under pressure, Romo's pass went out of bounds. He overthrew Witten in double coverage in the end zone.
Coming down to a 4th and 10, Romo remained patient in the pocket, pumped, and found Austin open and going down to his knees in the right side of the end zone for the touchdown with 0:15 left. The Cowboys erased a 14-point deficit in the final 4:45.
But not all was finished. Brees took a knee and the Cowboys would win the overtime coin toss. The fans cheered, but the Captain groaned, because you knew what to expect.
For as great as Brees was, as great as the Cowboys had been on the last two drives, is it not easier to go 40-50 yards and kick a field goal than to go 80 for another touchdown?
Like clockwork, Dallas got the ball at their own 20, and Witten had a catch for 11 yards. He would then break Tony Gonzalez's record for most catches by a tight end in a season. Witten has 103 receptions now.
That's all fine and dandy, but it was 3rd and 5 and Romo's slant to Bryant was incomplete. Dallas had to punt after gaining 16 yards. Brees started at his own 26, and it only took one play for Jimmy Graham to gain 26 yards into Dallas territory.
Three plays later it was Graham for seven more yards to convert a 3rd and 3. Two plays later, Brees threw to Colston, who fumbled, and with the ball loose, it was eventually recovered by Graham at the DAL 2. It took replay a while to sort things out, but it appeared they got everything right.
With the ball at the DAL 2, the decision was simple. Garrett Hartley came out and drilled the 20-yard field goal to end it. Saints win 34-31.
It was a great comeback attempt by Dallas again this season, but not one they were able to finish. The overtime was over quickly, and it just doesn't look like the right move to receive anymore. Years of sudden-death overtime has drilled it into coaches' brains to receive, but you almost have to look at it more like the college game where you go on defense and see what you need.
You cannot be afraid to get Tebow'd. Dallas was rolling along at the time, but asking for a third consecutive long touchdown drive is asking for a lot, even against a defense like New Orleans.
Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City ChiefsWinner: Indianapolis (20-13)Type: GWDQuarterback: Andrew Luck (4-2 at 4QC, 7-2 overall 4Q/OT record - table)
It has been a season of improbable victories for the now 10-5, playoff-bound Indianapolis Colts, but Sunday in Kansas City was something to behold. Andrew Luck's record-tying seventh game-winning drive in one regular season came after some unusual circumstances.
Despite 352 rushing yards, the Kansas City Chiefs managed to lose the game 20-13. That is the most rushing yards in NFL history for a losing team, breaking the mark of 320 yards by the 1944 Cleveland Rams against the Washington Redskins.
Since 1940 only eight teams have rushed for over 300 yards and lost. We are talking a record of 122-6 (.953) for teams with 300+ yards rushing since 1950. You just do not lose with that kind of ground production.
Maybe even more impressive is that the Colts were outrushed by 262 yards, which also breaks the record for the 1944 Redskins (258 yards) for highest rushing margin overcome in a win.
The Colts are just the sixth team since 1940 to be outrushed by over 200 yards and win the game. It takes something really special to lose this game, and a duo like Brady Quinn and Romeo Crennel leading the 2-13 Kansas City Chiefs were up to the task.
Kansas City had three giveaways, including a pick six by Quinn on the Chiefs' opening drive. He later had a red zone interception, and Jamaal Charles had a red zone fumble. It was a rare blemish in Charles' 226-yard day. Ryan Succop missed a 43-yard field goal as well.
Meanwhile the Colts had zero giveaways, and held the Chiefs to 2/10 on third down. Once again, the Colts made the plays when they had to.
Tied 13-13 in the fourth quarter, Kansas City was looking for their first lead. Peyton Hillis, who also rushed for 101 yards, got the carry on 3rd and 1 at the IND 27, but was stopped for no gain. The Chiefs went for it on 4th and 1.
But rather than Charles or Hillis, Quinn got the call on the usually deadly quarterback sneak. Even with trying the quick snap, the Colts defended it well, and Robert Mathis got the drive-ending tackle, stopping Quinn short.
With Luck on his coldest of cold streaks this season, completing 1-of-13 passes at one point, it was go time. He converted a 3rd and 4 to T.Y. Hilton for 11 yards, and that got things moving. Luck would hit his final six passes on the drive on a day in which he broke Cam Newton's rookie record for passing yards.
After a trick play failed miserably in the red zone, the Colts called time out to set up 3rd and goal. A key play, Luck found Reggie Wayne wide open in the back of the end zone for the 7-yard touchdown with 4:08 to play.
Down 20-13, the Chiefs went ultra conservative with runs on both second and third down in long situations. Hillis lost two yards on a 3rd-and-8 run, and the Chiefs punted. With 2:30 left, it was four-minute offense time for the Colts, and Vick Ballard ran twice for no net gain to set up 3rd and 10.
With the Chiefs expecting pass, Ballard got the carry out of the shotgun and gained 13 yards to ice it. Luck took three knees, and the Colts are in the playoffs.
That is Luck's seventh game-winning drive, which not only completely sets the rookie record (regular season and playoffs combined), but it ties the NFL record for the regular season. When you include the playoffs, Eli Manning (2011) and Jake Delhomme (2003) still hold the record with eight game-winning drives.

This week the Redskins were able to hang on for a sixth straight win. Atlanta clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC by disposing of Detroit on Calvin Johnson's record-setting night. The Raiders resurrected Matt Leinart from the dead. Finally, Jacksonville almost came up with the upset of the year against New England.
From follies to Foles, it's always funny in Philadelphia
Philadelphia has been a comedy of errors for over two seasons now, but they came out hot with a 76-yard touchdown drive that featured two 4th-and-1 conversions by rookie Nick Foles. Washington failed on their fourth-down attempt, but the game would soon turn on – what else? – a turnover by the Eagles.
Later, an interception by London Fletcher brought boos and soon after a Washington lead that they would never give up. Washington led 27-13 in the fourth quarter, but it took a tipped ball for a rare interception for both the Eagles and Robert Griffin III this season. Now the Eagles at least had some life.
Foles completed three passes in a row before Dion Lewis scored on a 17-yard touchdown run with 8:55 left. Washington did gain two first downs, but eventually they had to punt. Foles had his chance for another big comeback with 4:15 to play at his own 15.
Working out of the no huddle, Foles used short passes and runs from the returning LeSean McCoy to work the ball into Washington territory at the two-minute warning. Four more short passes were completed before Foles scrambled for a 5-yard gain on 3rd and 4.
Foles converted a 4th and 2 with McCoy making 12 yards on the play and getting out of bounds. Now down to 0:11 and the ball at the WAS 5, this was very doable. But Evan Moore dropped the slant at the goal line, which likely would have been a touchdown.
Now with Foles looking around for a receiver, he was pressured and just flung the ball forward incomplete with 0:01 left. After a delay, Ed Hochuli crushed the ending with a flag and length explanation of an illegal forward pass (intentional grounding maybe?). That is a 10-second runoff, and that is the ballgame.
Like some other teams, the Eagles fail to convert a lot of offense (411 yards) into more points because of all the mistakes they make on a weekly basis. Washington has managed six straight wins and will play for the NFC East title in Week 17.
One has to wonder how long it will be until the Eagles are back in that position in the division they once owned in the Andy Reid era.
Calvin Johnson's hollow night
The Falcons were looking for a win and the No. 1 seed, while the Detroit Lions basically had records in mind for Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford. That's why it was no surprise when the Falcons opened up a 21-3 lead despite Johnson's big night.
But the Lions have played everyone but Arizona tough this year, and did mount a comeback. It was 21-13 as the Lions had a long drive that extended into the fourth quarter. But with 1st and goal at the ATL 6, Stafford threw a ball away, the Lions gained two yards on the ground, then Stafford's quarterback draw was stopped at the ATL 2.
Detroit kicked the 20-yard field goal with 13:26 to play. Now it's not the worst decision as they still needed to score twice to win the game, but the Atlanta offense is so good in these situations. Matt Ryan was having a great night again with four touchdowns.
Detroit had their chances, but Ryan made two plays he rarely makes. On a 3rd and 4, Ryan threw off his back foot under pressure and got the ball to Roddy White for 15 yards. Ryan later had a 16-yard scramble. You don't expect these plays, nor do you expect Michael Palmer to catch a 1-yard touchdown. Atlanta led 28-16 with 7:12 to play.
Stafford needed one more completion for Johnson to break Jerry Rice's record of 1,848 receiving yards, and he forced a terrible pass to do it. Asante Samuel made the interception, and Atlanta tacked on a field goal for the 31-16 final.
Stafford did find Johnson for 26 yards and the record, and Johnson also set new marks for 100-yard receiving games: the most in a season (11; tied with 1995 Michael Irvin) and the most consecutive (8). Johnson finished with 11 catches for 225 yards.
But the drive ended with three straight incompletions at the ATL 2. Michael Turner was tackled for a safety, which led to Detroit's Stefan Logan giving himself up on the kick return at the DET 4. What a Lion.
Just more meaningless yards to eat up, which the Lions did down to the ATL 33 as time expired. The Lions had 522 yards of offense, but just 16 points to show for it.
Stafford finished with 443 yards and no passing touchdowns, which is the highest yardage total ever for a quarterback without a touchdown pass. You are finally off the hook, Joe Montana. Stafford now has 685 pass attempts this season (record is 691 by Drew Bledsoe in 1994).
Yep, a night full of records for Detroit. Also adds on to a seven-game losing streak as the Lions have just a 4-11 record.
Matt Leinart: Better than you think (Ghost of Christmas Past Edition)
Not a whole lot going on here in a meaningless game between Oakland and Carolina. Carson Palmer was injured and replaced by Matt Leinart, who has seen little action in recent years.
Oakland trailed 14-3 to start the fourth quarter, but an interception off Cam Newton gave them great field position. Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 31-yard field goal to make it 14-6. Carolina punted after one first down, and Leinart had a chance.
Now Leinart has a 2-5 record at comebacks/game-winning drives in his career. The two wins were both against Seattle many moons ago (2006-07). But if you look at the five losses, it is actually very easy to be a Leinart apologist.
10/8/2006 vs. Kansas City: In Leinart's first career start, the Cardinals blew a 20-10 lead. Down 23-20, he drives them into range, but Neil Rackers misses a 51-yard field goal with 0:02 left.
10/16/2006 vs. Chicago: A week later we have the infamous "Crown them!" game on Monday Night Football. A 20-0 lead turns into a 24-23 deficit, then after Leinart leads the team down the field again, Rackers misses the 40-yard field goal with 0:47 left.
11/26/2006 at Minnesota: Down 31-13 in the fourth quarter, Leinart leads Arizona back into a 31-26 deficit. They recover a late onside kick, and he has 0:38 left at his own 44. His Hail Mary is intercepted to end the game, for which he passed for a then-rookie record 405 yards.
9/10/2007 at San Francisco: Down 13-10, Leinart throws a 5-yard touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin, but the 49ers later come back and get the game-winning score. With only 0:16 left to answer, Leinart is picked off.
11/29/2009 at Tennessee: Starting in place of Kurt Warner, Leinart leads a go-ahead touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter. But like in college, Vince Young outdoes him with a 99-yard drive for the winning touchdown with 0:00 left.
In just five games, that is four blown leads in the fourth quarter, two lost comebacks, and two field goal chokes. Hard for any quarterback to suffer that in five starts. Consider the two Hail Mary interceptions, and that should make you look a bit differently at Leinart's 8-10 record as a starter, or his 15 TD, 21 INT ratio.
But that was the past. In his most recent chance, Leinart did make two big completions for 30 yards. But on 3rd and 4 at the CAR 24, Rod Streater was unable to hang onto a ball after taking a hit. Leinart had a lot of time on fourth down, but his pass was batted at the line and fell incomplete.
Carolina stayed aggressive with Newton in the shotgun, and they moved it 43 yards to set up Graham Gano for a big 51-yard field goal. That made it 17-6 with 2:46 left. Oakland went four and out, and the Panthers killed the clock with three knees.
You can say with solid foundation this was Leinart's worst comeback attempt (2-6 now), but maybe the bigger story is we are still actually talking about Leinart in December 2012.
Jaguars are who we thought they were, but what are the Patriots?
It was an emotional game for the Patriots last week against San Francisco. With all the energy spent in coming back, only to fall behind again and lose, that had to take a lot out of them as they realize they may have lost a first-round bye.
But low enough to fall to the lowly 2-12 Jacksonville Jaguars in what would clearly be the upset of the year? Surely you jest.
Like they did against Houston, the Jaguars came to play behind Chad Henne, scoring an opening-drive touchdown. After two uncharacteristic interceptions by Tom Brady, Jacksonville led 13-3.
But after that point, the Jaguars showed us why they are 2-12, and now 2-13. They did not step on the throat. They punted on a 4th and 1 at midfield despite their early success at moving the ball.
New England tied the game just before halftime, took a 16-13 lead early in the third quarter, and never relinquished it. Still, Jacksonville had opportunities, even after falling behind 23-13 in the fourth quarter.
Josh Scobee kicked a 42-yard field goal with 8:42 to play to make it 23-16. The Patriots went three and out after Brady skipped a third-down pass. The Jaguars were 66 yards away from the tie, and Henne was working the no-huddle offense.
Five straight completions moved the ball inside the 10-yard line, but this is where the Jaguars would stall badly. Between a false start and a sack, it was 4th and 10 at the NE 10. Henne was hit as he threw and the pass fluttered to Patrick Chung for a big interception.
The Patriots gained one first down, Jacksonville used their final timeout, but with a chance to end it Brady was sacked on third down. Henne got the ball back with 0:54 left at his own 38, out of timeouts. Jacksonville pulled off the spectacular one-minute (one play to Cecil Shorts) drive this year against the Colts, but it would be much harder this week.
Chung was flagged for 15 yards after lighting up Shorts, who was injured on the play. Four plays later it was 4th and 10, Henne was hit again as he threw, but the pass found a diving Toney Clemons for 17 yards to keep the drive alive. Henne spiked it, then found Jordan Shipley for 18 yards down to the NE 12. Another spike, and there were 0:08 left.
Henne overthrew Clemons, bringing the game to one last play. You had to figure this was a spot for rookie Justin Blackmon, and he was indeed the target. Actually, Henne was hung one up into the back of the end zone and it was Chung making yet another interception to end the game.
Henne threw for 348 yards, but he had to put it up 51 times and had the three costly interceptions. This is why he is just 3-15 (.167) at comeback opportunities.
For a while there the Jaguars gave New England all they could handle, but in the end, the predicted outcome came true. It just did not come with the ease or shine the Patriots were expecting after a tough loss last week.
What does this say about the 2012 AFC when two of the most hyped teams, Houston and New England, struggled this much against the Jaguars?
Next week
Damn, is it already Week 17? That sure went fast. We only need three quarterbacks to be credited with some type of fourth quarter/overtime win to match 2011's regular season total of 86 entries. Andrew Luck needs a game-winning drive against Houston to tie the single-season record (8). All eyes will be on Green Bay/Minnesota and Dallas/Washington, but if this season has taught us anything, it's not to expect greatness from the big matchups.
We will begin next week with our regular-season review for all 32 teams.

Be More Graceful In Our Disagreements
Today is Independence Day, a day when we Americans celebrate the day the Founding Fathers shook off the shackles of English rule and declared our independence.
The Declaration of Independence is a beautiful document that argues the colonialist cause in beautiful prose. Beautiful words aside, the declaration is a written argument in favor of many of the ideals Americans have held dear since 1776.
It states nearly 30 reasons why King George III has aggrieved the colonial settlers, asserts as a matter of natural law the ability of a group of people to assume political independence while acknowledging the reasons for the group's independence must be reasonable. It then explains the colonialists' reasons for wanting to be free of England and states the colonialists' course of action – a war for independence.
Of course, we won the argument … and have been arguing ever since.
Our arguments are captured in the Federalist Papers, in 238 years of Congressional debate, riotous protests in the 20th century and now are ablaze on television and on the Internet. It has become increasingly difficult to accomplish anything positive in an age in which we intractably argue our varying points of view in full public. Our society is full of heated words that are far less beautiful and far less useful than those found in the Declaration of Independence. At times, our civil discourse devolves into simple name-calling and, at others, is downright rude.
The future of a nation was at stake in 1776. The biggest difference between 1776 and 2013 is the nature of our debate. Our early American arguments resulted in a strong nation because disagreements were resolved, a compromise reached and the disagreement set aside. Despite the varied interests of our founders, they found a way to resolve those differences in a way that forged a fledgling nation from heated words.
Those engaged in civil debate in 2013 will argue the fate of a nation is still at stake – whether the debates are social issues, tax policy, spending, social programs, the role of the United States in military actions and scores of other disagreements both large and small. Our arguments have a different result now. Rather than arrive at a conclusion most people can agree with, our arguments are unresolved. We shout past each other, two ships passing in the night, with the result the very definition of gridlock.
We have been arguing so long that we've become entirely too good at it. We'd rather argue than solve our problems. For our nation to remain strong and to regain its former prosperity, we must have arguments that mean something. We must be more graceful in our disagreement.
It's the best lesson we can all take from Independence Day.

Hello, early risers! We have a treat for you. A little later this morning, Moda Operandi is launching a presale of the entire Proenza Schouler Spring 2013 runway accessories and shoe collections, the first full collection presale that the brand has ever done. That means that we also get an up-close look at the incredibly detailed, post-modern accessories that Proenza sent down the runway, all for your viewing pleasure.
The sale launches at 9 a.m. on the East Coast, but in the meantime, our friends at Moda were kind enough to send over the images of the bags and shoes that are up for grabs. That includes over a half dozen iterations of the Proenza Schouler Record Bag, and what's even more exciting, several of the hyper-intricate runway bags made out of patchwork photography and metal. In these shots, they're even more compelling than they were on the runway. Oh, and the shoes? They're pretty great too. Check out the full photo gallery after the jump and drop by Moda Operandi to shop the collection later this morning.

Most quarterbacks would be thrilled to be surrounded with championship-caliber talent. But in some cases, it limits their opportunities to shine individually and can result in giving them the dreaded 'game manager' label.
This year's Super Bowl matchup features two quarterbacks at very different stages of their careers, and with very different responsibilities on the field.
Peyton Manning is a coach on the field for the Denver Broncos, calling plays at the line of scrimmage based on the defensive looks he sees, and carving up defenses with his trademark precision and accuracy, as well as a receiving corps that is arguably the best in the NFL.
He is a lock to win his fifth career MVP this year and set multiple single-season passing records in his fifteenth season.
Russell Wilson, on the other hand, plays for a run-first offense in Seattle and his weapons at wide receiver are not nearly as talented. The Seahawks are known for their attacking defense and hard-hitting secondary.
Many of their most important players were undrafted or late round selections, so they play with a collective chip on their shoulder that most teams cannot compete with. Even Wilson, a third round draft pick in 2012, plays with that underdog determination, but that should not be confused with a lack of talent or ability.
Wilson is anything but a game manager, as his 100+ passer rating and 27-9 overall record as a starter will attest, both records for a player in his second year. But it is his escapability and improvisational skills as a quarterback that make him special, most evident in his numerous fourth quarter comebacks and highlight reel plays. It is clear after two seasons that he is a top ten quarterback in the NFL, and was merely overlooked in the draft due to his lack of height.
Wilson's career has started in comparable fashion with Ben Roethlisberger, who previously held the record for best record for a starting quarterback in his first two seasons. Roethlisberger also made the Super Bowl in his second year, and played very poorly in a victory over the Seahawks.
But he went on to have an outstanding career, while this list is more focused on quarterbacks who had no business ever starting in a Super Bowl, much less winning. Most of them were blessed to be on fantastic teams with spectacular defenses.
Some obviously mediocre quarterbacks like Jeff Hostetler were left off the list, as he took over an injured starter late in the season, the respectable Phil Simms who had previously been a Super Bowl MVP. But the rest just were not all that good.
Honorable Mention: Mark Rypien, Eli Manning, Earl Morrall. Rypien had the ultimate anomaly season in 1991 for the Washington Redskins, winning league MVP honors after throwing over 3,500 yards and 28 touchdowns and leading his team to a 14-2 record. He had never started a full season before that and never made the Pro Bowl after that, but he was brilliant in 1991 so not worthy of this list.
Manning had a fantastic season in 2011, but when the Giants won their first Super Bowl in 2007, he had never made the Pro Bowl or even won a playoff game, and his Giants were the biggest underdog in the playoffs before they started.
Morrall was a journeyman backup when he took over for an injured Bob Griese and led the 1972 Dolphins to their perfect 17-0 season. He also backed up Johnny Unitas in Baltimore, and even though his numbers were not impressive, he was a winner.
5. Brad Johnson, 2002 Tampa Bay Bucs - While he did start for several playoff teams prior to joining the Bucs in 2002, there is something spectacularly average about Johnson. Maybe his name or his passing style or the fact that he was a backup at Florida State for most of his college career.
Johnson had one of his best seasons in 2002, putting up 3,049 yards and 22 touchdowns to just six interceptions in thirteen games. It was his first season under quarterback guru Jon Gruden and the team was defined by its defense.
He was the perfect game manager for that team, able to move the ball downfield without making the big mistake. Their run in the playoffs was also remembered for the defensive touchdowns, but Johnson made a few plays when they needed too.
4. Jay Schroeder/Doug Williams, 1987 Washington Redskins - Schroeder is most responsible for this pair making the list. He was the starter for the Redskins for most of that season, for some reason, and had a horrendous 48 percent completion mark.
It was a different era in football, with more running and less precision passing, but that was still an awful percentage. Williams took over late in the regular season for an ineffective Schroeder and led the Redskins on their playoff run, and while his numbers were not all that impressive either, his performance in the Super Bowl was one for the ages.
3. Jim Plunkett, 1980 Oakland Raiders - While it is hard to put a two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback on this list, Plunkett was average at best in the 1980 season. It was his first full season starting for the Raiders and his completion percentage was a menial 51.6 percent.
He had 18 touchdowns compared to 16 interceptions and only 2,299 yards passing, but he was also 9-2 as a starter and led them to the playoffs, despite losing the division to the high-powered San Diego Chargers. But Plunkett played tremendously well in a road victory over the Chargers in the playoffs and led them to a Super Bowl, resurrecting his previously underachieving career.
2. Jim McMahon, 1985 Chicago Bears - The punky QB is remembered for his toughness and unique leadership for an '85 Bears team full of characters.
But his effectiveness as a quarterback was limited in the NFL, mostly by injury. He only started 11 games in 1985, and never started a full season in his career.
He played fearlessly and inspired his teammates, but also took too many hits, and was knocked out of plenty of games.
In 1985, it barely mattered, as the team had one of the most dominating defenses of all time and rolled through opponents with ease.
In the playoffs, their defense allowed 10 total points, so they didn't need much from McMahon, but he did throw for 2,392 yards and fifteen touchdowns, including one memorable comeback against the Vikings.
1. Trent Dilfer, 2000 Baltimore Ravens - The network analyst who invented the QBR statistic for ESPN may have done so to validate his own career, which was defined by mediocrity. Dilfer spent one season in Baltimore, starting off as a backup to Tony Banks, and eventually taking over a team that was winning games without scoring offensive touchdowns.
They were led by a record-setting defense featuring Ray Lewis, and a balanced rushing attack led by Jamal Lewis and Priest Holmes. Dilfer was a bust first round draft pick from Tampa Bay who had been given up on, but gave the Ravens enough of a spark to keep him as the starter.
He kept winning games and the team rolled all the way to the Super Bowl, which their defense won in a rout. Dilfer was not brought back the following season and replaced by journeyman free agent Elvis Grbac.

Topic: Is "The Rails Way" by Obie Fernandez obsolete?
I'm newish to Ruby and Rails, and well into teaching myself both. At this point I'm looking for an intermediate guide to Rails. "The Rails Way", by Obie Fernandez, seems to fit the bill, but I'm wondering if Rails has evolved so much since it was written to make it obsolete. Any informed opinions would be appreciated!

My Makeup Collection
So I finally got around to making my collection video, whew! I've gotten several requests but I was putting it off for a while. I knew that doing this video would require me making several attempts at taking pictures with my sub-standard digital camera. The BF and I were supposed to get a nice one for our anniversary…but other finances came up.
As many of you already know, I'm in the process of making a move into my first one bedroom apartment without roommates. I knew I would have to pack up all of my makeup so I decided that it would be an opportune time to take snap shots of my collection.
I will say, the pictures turned out alright. I decided to do pics by category…i.e. lipsticks, paintpots, eyeshadow palettes…because if I tried to take an aerial view of my whole collection, it just wouldn't work. My room has packing boxes all over the floor and I just don't think I'd have space to do that shot however pretty I know it would have been.
I guess I didn't realize how much makeup I have…a lot of it goes unused as well. I might be having a makeup sale once all is said and done and I finish my move. In the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy!

The goal of Italian instruction at Luther is to provide a solid introduction to the Italian language and culture. Although we currently do not offer a major or minor in Italian, two courses are offered every year: Beginning Italian 101 and 102. These courses are one way of satisfying the college language requirement.
Students interested in music, art, or travel often choose this course sequence as a requirement or elective. It is also possible to continue work in Italian by enrolling in various Directed Readings courses. Luther's affiliation with the Associated Colleges of the Midwest offers a special opportunity for students wishing to study in Italy. See a student testimonial about studying in Italy.
Please contact the Department of Modern Languages if you would like more information.

I remember Randy Johnson throwing 99 to finish a complete game. Back in their day, Nolan Ryan and Bob Feller probably did that on a regular basis (if you were to ask them). There's a lengthy list of early 20th century pitchers who pitched complete games in both ends of a doubleheader. So what's the driving force behind the pitch count craze? Are we going soft? …

Bruce Willis | New Horizons in MOONRISE KINGDOM
In Wes Anderson's latest movie, MOONRISE KINGDOM, Bruce Willis plays the sheriff of a small island off the coast of New England circa 1965 who leads a group of townspeople (which includes Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bob Balaban, Tilda Swinton and Jason Schwartzman) in search of two 12-year-old lovebirds who've run away together. For the 57-year-old superstar actor, this is his first time inside Anderson's strange and wonderful world, but with his patented dry wit he fits in well. In fact, according to Willis, when given a choice he prefers doing comedic parts over the action and dramatic roles he's best known for. "I would do comedy all the time," he told Relevant Magazine. "It's just the most challenging thing to make someone laugh, and the most rewarding thing in entertainment. To be funny you have to commit to the truth of the story you're telling, even if it's the craziest story you've ever heard, and act like it's true. Whereas in drama, it's just on the page: 'My girlfriend took the dog and now I'm lonely.' That's easy to play. It's much harder to do comedy."
Bruce Willis | Blue-Collar Kid on Stage
Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting
The oldest of four children, Willis was born in West Germany in 1955 and grew up in Carneys Point, New Jersey, where the blur-collar environment around him – his mother worked in a bank and his father was a welder, master mechanic and factory worker – led to Willis' gruff exterior. Having a stutter growing up, he often had to gain respect through fighting those bullying him. He channeled that frustration into something more positive when he realized that participating in the drama club and performing on stage made his stutter disappear. He took jobs after high school as a security guard, truck driver and bartender; he even was a private investigator for a while (which would help in the future). But he still had a desire to act and after studying drama at Montclair State University, he moved to New York City to build his talent into a career, joining Stella Adler's acting class. "I was lucky because she liked boys," Willis told the Daily Mail. "She would be merciless on the women but she let me take the class for free… I had a blast [living in New York City] and I could stretch $20 over three days. I would live off pizza and beer." In New York, he honed his craft in off-Broadway productions, debuting in 1977 in Heaven and Earth and getting small, uncredited parts in films like Sidney Lumet's Prince of the City. In 1983, Willis gained media attention when he was cast in the Circle Repertory Company's staging of Sam Shepard's Fool For Love. After that play's run, Willis headed to Los Angeles. He unsuccessfully tried out for a part in Desperately Seeking Susan, then for a new ABC pilot. "The third audition that I went on was for Moonlighting." And that's when Willis' life changed forever.
Bruce Willis | All Action, Plus Words
Bruce Willis in Die Hard
Willis got his first taste of fame when he played the smooth-talking private detective in the hugely successful TV series Moonlighting, opposite Cybill Shepherd, from 1985 to 1989. Willis' charisma, good looks and comedic timing made him an instant star, and lead to him getting his first lead movie role in the 1987 Blake Edwards comedy Blind Date. However, his career would be defined a year later when he took on the role of NYPD officer John McClane in the blockbuster Die Hard. Mixing his charm and a bad-ass hero persona, Willis brought to the screen a different kind of action star, one who didn't need bulging muscles and steroid-fueled strength to play tough. The film became a global hit and spawned three sequels (with another one on the way), making Willis as big an action star as Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But Willis admitted once in an interview to IGN that there was some luck involved him taking this career-changing role. "I had already passed on [Die Hard] and, in all honesty, anybody who likes the film and myself owes Cybill Shepherd a big thanks because had she not gotten pregnant during the shooting of Moonlighting and had [producer] Glen Gordon Caron not decided to shut Moonlighting down for 11 weeks, I never would have been able to do Die Hard." Indeed Willis' take on the film's origin defines the wit that sets him apart. As Caryn James noted in her New York Times review, Die Hard works because of its "hero who carries with him the smirks and wisecracks that helped make 'Moonlighting a television hit." In future films, Willis refined the action hero's qualities and quips, often borrowing more from hard-boiled detective fiction than comic books. In Tony Scott's 1991 The Last Boy Scout, Willis partnered with Damon Wayans to play a down-and-out detective dealing with corruption in professional football. In Rowdy Herrington's Striking Distance, Willis is a Pittsburgh cop who's been fired for refusing to let his suspicions rest. Recently in the action romp Red, Willis played up to his persona for often comic effect, as the Denver Post's Lisa Kennedy so warmly noted, "all smirk and vulnerable charm."
Bruce Willis | A Serious Side
Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction
As the '90s rolled in, Willis had become one of the top box office draws by mixing action roles with the occasional comedy like Look Who's Talking. But around the middle of the decade he looked for a role that would show him in a different light. Not known for his dramatic work (outside of a Golden Globe-nominated performance as a Vietnam vet in Norman Jewison's In Country in 1989), Willis solidified his abilities when Quentin Tarantino cast him in his 1994 smash Pulp Fiction as Butch Coolidge, an aging boxer with a strong affection for his watch. The film went on to become one of the landmark titles of the '90s and Willis' role received rave reviews, with Rolling Stone critic Peter Travers calling Butch "his tastiest role in years." The film, as Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman explains, permits Willis to explore the tangible depth of his tough guy persona: "Willis, his emotions as exposed as his nearly shaved scalp, makes Butch a complexly sympathetic hero: now dim, now brutal, now tender, now an avenging samurai returning to hell to save the man who'd sworn to kill him." Willis' dramatic talents were further demonstrated in two very different roles. In 1995, he starred opposite Brad Pitt in Terry Gilliam's time traveling post-apocalyptic thriller 12 Monkeys. Then, four years later, Willis played a psychologist to a small boy who sees dead people in the surprise sensation The Sixth Sense. "It was a script I said yes to right away," Willis said in an episode of The Actors Studio. "Most of all because when I read the script I was fooled by it. I had no idea when I read the last couple of pages [what would happen]. Which is difficult to do because it's hard to fool people today." In his review of the film (and appreciation of the actor), the New York Observer's Andrew Sarris noted, "Bruce Willis reminds me once again that, despite his generally bad press, he is the most reliable character lead in the business, perhaps lacking Gene Hackman's range and Kevin Spacey's flash. But I have lost count of the number of Bruce Willis vehicles that would have been unwatchable if he hadn't been in them. Indeed, he reminds me of nobody so much as Robert Mitchum in his unappreciated heyday, when he was dismissed as dull and expressionless simply because he didn't tear a passion to tatters at every opportunity. With Mr. Mitchum, as with Mr. Willis, less was never more."

Anton Krupicka Looks Ahead - Page 2
"It was definitely an overuse injury. Getting ready for Rocky, I was increasing intensity without lowering volume," he says. "But there were also some issues with my biomechanics. … Like many runners, I tend to have weak abductors and really tight adductors. These things contribute to my form breaking down and pronating excessively, especially as I fatigue on a longer run."
He continues, "After a while, though, there was just a cycle of weakness and injury that was tough to break."
Later that spring, Krupicka suffered a well-publicized (and more debilitating) injury when he tripped during a run, hyperextended his knee and fractured his fibula in the same leg. While he was not excited by the prospect of being immobilized with a broken leg, he figured it would at least force him to rest his ailing shin. But to his surprise—and chagrin—the time off did little for his tendonitis.
"When I began running again in early September, within five days or so, the shin flared right back up," he says. "Being on crutches resulted in atrophy and weakness in that whole leg, even though I worked on those things with physical therapy."
Dealing with time away
Krupicka's health issues have, of course, affected his ability to race. "I've missed so many races that I would've liked to have been a part of—Western States 2011, UTMB 2011, San Francisco TNF 50 2011, Transvulcania, Zegama, etc.," he says.
Krupicka says this is by far the longest he has ever dealt with a single injury. Not surprisingly, it has not come easily for the man who typically devotes hours each day to running in the mountains.
"I don't deal with it very well," he says. "The injury has added a level of stress that has affected all areas of my life, and it has required me to look at myself and my make-up and how I make myself happy and find meaning."
In the end, the introspection, says Krupicka, has been a good thing.

FD man charged with attempted murder
A Fort Dodge man is being held on $1 million cash bond in connection with the attempted murder of a Fort Dodge woman.
Larry Darnell Crawford, 43, was arrested Saturday after Jolene Crawford, 39, 339 Loomis Ave., was discovered unconscious in her bedroom.
According to the Fort Dodge Police Department, Jolene Crawford had suffered blunt force trauma to her head. She was in critical condition Saturday evening after being flown by medical helicopter to a Des Moines hospital where she underwent surgery.
Jolene Crawford was discovered around 6:30 a.m. by police officers who had been dispatched to the home, according to Police Chief Tim Carmody.
According to Carmody, Jolene Crawford and Larry Crawford were involved in a relationship, but he did not say if they were married.
However, Iowa Courts Online records show Jolene L. Crawford was granted a divorce from Larry D. Crawford six years ago, in March 2007.
Online court records also show Larry Crawford had been cited in 2006 for violating a no-contact order.
In November 2012, online court records show a five-year no-contact order against Larry Crawford that was implemented in November 2010 was lifted.
Investigators have charged Larry Crawford with attempted murder.
Records in The Messenger's files show Larry Crawford was sentenced to seven days in jail in March 2011 for violation of a no-contact order. At that time, his address was listed as 311 First Ave. S., which is the Fort Dodge Residential Center.
Carmody said Saturday that investigators are not looking for any other suspects.
He said that in addition to his department, the incident is being investigated by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, the DCI Crime Lab and the Webster County attorney's office.
"At this early point in the investigation officers and investigators continue to process evidence, interview witnesses and search for additional information," he said.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Fort Dodge Police Detective Ryan Gruenberg at 573-1426 or Crime Stoppers at 573-1444. Tips can also be sent online at wccrimestoppers.com or by texting "LEC" and the tip to 274637.

Mauviel Copper Beating Bowl
- Summary
More than simply beautiful, copper is considered the best performing of culinary materials. Professional chefs use unlined copper bowl like this one to whip egg whites to frothy peaks. Copper is the ideal material for this task as it reacts naturally (and harmlessly) with the whites, making them more stable when beaten so they almost triple in volume.
- Handcrafted of solid unlined copper.
- Round-bottomed shape promotes vigorous, thorough mixing.
- Rolled rim is reinforced for extra strength.
- Riveted brass handle affords a good grip and doubles as a loop for hanging the bowl when it's not in use.
- Optional chromed-iron stand (sold separately) creates a stable base for whipping ingredients from any angle.
- Made in France by Mauviel, founded in 1830.
- Use & Care
- Hand wash in warm soapy water. Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Never use abrasive cleaning products or scouring pads.
- Copper will develop a rich patina over time. This will not affect the performance. To keep the exterior looking new, use a copper polish or a combination of lemon and salt.

- More about Mauviel
In 1830, Ernest Mauviel established his namesake cookware company in Villedieu-les-Poêles in Normandy. The village had a long history of outstanding metalwork; the locals were considered experts in the craft. Today, much of the manufacturing is still done by hand using traditional processes passed down through generations of copper makers. True to France's rich culinary history, Mauviel 1830 is a favorite in professional kitchens, where copper's quick, even heat conductivity is essential for making delicate sauces and other French classics. Mauviel now also offers stainless-steel collections crafted with the same attention to detail as its traditional copper cookware.

The purpose of a business is to meet customer needs at a profit. If you are failing to meet customer needs at a profit, you are not a business, you are considered a charity.
Profit is not a dirty word, folks; but rather, it is "the word" that needs to gain the full attention of every business owner and every employee on the company roster. Profit is what keeps the doors open and provides opportunities for people to have jobs. Profit is what pays for expansion, growth, new equipment and better tools. Profit is what affords the ability to bring on more resources, give raises, provide benefits and possibly offer incentives or bonuses.
Profit necessitates particular attention to managing cash flow and margin; and, by the way, although margin is an extremely integral element in achieving profitability, it's equally important to remember that margin sits at the right hand of cash. It's about evaluating and delivering on a mixed blend of profitability that considers both cash flow and margin.
In my prior column, we addressed the importance of the business owner authoring a viable and executable "Written Plan" and in that process, we also addressed two fundamental beliefs:
1. The business of a business is to maximize its shareholder value by increasing its intrinsic value.
2. Maximizing value involves managing the company's short-term performance, as well as its long-term health and growth — its ability to sustain performance over time.
Your Plan must incorporate authoring your Corporate Values and Mission — the sum total of which defines your corporate culture.
The Values clearly spell out the company's expectations in its membership's day-to-day actions and behaviors, and the Mission describes everybody's job, no matter what your particular role might be within the organization. The bundled effect results in your "Corporate Culture" — the foundational cornerstone that addresses the fundamental areas every organization functions within, regardless of the nature of the enterprise: strategy, people and operations. Together they produce financial profitability.
Future-orientated companies seek viable solutions that address and measure these fundamental areas in a straightforward and clear-cut manner. The key to realizing optimum performance and maximizing shareholder Return On Investment (ROI) is ensuring the organization's processes, systems and tools are working in harmony with its people, and it all begins with establishing a corporate culture by design in lieu of a culture by default.
A corporate culture by design is achieved when an organization's roster comprises individuals whose personal integrity is in-line with the organization's philosophical approach to conduct.
I can teach a parrot to greet customers and run a cash register, if it has good enough language abilities/skills and a strong beak; but, high-performance individuals see themselves as owners of their skills, experiences, intellect and wisdom, and willing investors in what they own, as long as there is an appropriate ROI from the organization (and I don't mean just a paycheck).
If you truly want to build a winning team, you must be passionate about recruiting, hiring, training, retaining, promoting and enabling career path opportunities that allow for evolution, and fostering a cultural environment that affords personal and professional growth.
Success with shareholders requires success in the marketplace. You can never succeed in the marketplace until you first succeed in the workplace. It's all about realizing that you must first build a winning team comprised of exceptional talent and then an understanding that you must sell your culture internally, before you can ever hope to exploit and leverage your brand externally, in order to make a profit.
My mantra is this: "When you market your brand you are not selling a stick of flooring — you are selling who you are and what you're about — you are branding your culture and marketing your brand culture. You cannot possibly sell what you do not own."
It's about getting the right people on the bus, in the right seats and playing to their strengths, in lieu of wasting a colossal amount of time, energy and money trying to strengthen people's weaknesses. Finding and bringing aboard the people with the right attitude and aptitude will result in a happier and more productive workplace.
In summary:
1. Live by the universal principles of fair play, honesty and truth.
2. Practice your corporate integrity; it is the bedrock of your vision.
3. Require that your vision, values and mission guide all your strategic, structural and operational decisions, as this decision making process will serve to create the conditions necessary for achieving both personal and organizational trust.
4. Understand and appreciate that trust is the key to building winning teams, and trust unleashes true empowerment and the release of human potential.
5. Unleashing and leveraging human potential is the foundation upon which successful brands are built.
I recommend that you get your house in order with respect to the foundational elements necessary to make headway now, starting with the basics.

Hurricane Owners Raise Bar On Adventure

It may an understatement to say that Roy Pink spends a lot of time on his 2007 Hurricane SunDeck 195. In fact, he and his first mate Dixie have logged more than 700 hours so far on a boat that's barely five years old. And that's just running hours.
You can safely say the couple has explored nearly every one of the thousands of rivers, lakes, channels, estuaries, and coves surrounding their home in Mt. Dora, Florida, just northwest of Orlando. It seems that something keeps pushing them farther and farther as if the next bend will hold their own Magic Kingdom.
Growing up on Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, Roy spent his youth rowing, sailing and fishing his way through a series of boats. And some of his fondest memories were out on the water with his father, fishing offshore on their 31-footer. He knew boats would become a big part of this adult life as well. He became a commercial captain with a 100-ton master license and eventually sold everything he owned to sail for four years.
Then he met Dixie, who has quite a bit of boating experience herself and helped drive the decision to purchase their Hurricane. That's when their current journey began. And it's been a journey of challenging trips and an adventurous liveaboard lifestyle. In fact, one of the reasons they chose the Hurricane over other 19-footers is the 45-gallon fuel tank feeding their Yamaha 115 hp outboard. The couple figured that setup could get them all the way to Jacksonville — about 130 miles as the crow flies. Much longer weaving your way through a morass of mangroves.
So, off they went. Through some of the skinniest water they could find. Sometimes it's just them and the kayakers. Sometimes they find dead ends. But sometimes they find an impossible-to-find, locals-only, conch-and-beer bar were the patrons welcome them with a chuckle and a place to shower. But most of the time, it's just them and their dog, Sagi, nestled in the protective embrace of the Hurricane's full enclosure.
Whether they're trailering down to No Name Key, beaching up on Caladesi Island State Park or scalloping their way up the crystal clear Silver River (that's where they filmed the early Tarzan movies and the television show Sea Hunt), Roy says his Hurricane is a great match for their admittedly ambitious itineraries.
"Sometimes we'll come up on some really bad weather, but we can usually stay pretty close to shore, so it's not bad at all," he says. "One night around the Looe Key reef, we had some really ugly, confused seas, but we got along fine. Our boat is so wide and stable, that we never got too worried. And think about this: even when the tide goes out, the deck boat design won't lay over on its side. We're never in a hurry, so it's easy enough to just wait it out, high and dry."
When you spend as much time as Roy and Dixie cruising and living aboard a 19-foot boat, you learn a few things. Things like, not taking too much food, being considerate about living space and, perhaps most importantly, graciously making use of any facilities available at state parks, waterfront restaurants and bars along their route.
"We make the most of what we have, and I'm telling you we absolutely love this lifestyle," said Roy. "We really use our Hurricane as it was designed to be used. Other than adding the optional filler cushions in the bow and the enclosure, it's pretty much set up the way anyone would get it. By not bothering with hotels, we can get away from everything. When you love being on the water like we do, that's all the vacation you really need."
