Over the first two games of the regular season, the Miami Dolphins look like a team that has made significant strides in all three phases of the game from just a year ago.
And the results have been tangible, as Miami sits at 2-0 for the first time since 2010 as they prepare for this weekend's home opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
Needless to say, Dolphins Head Coach Joe Philbin is pleased with where his ball club stands heading into week three.
"It was a great team win," Philbin said of Miami's win in Indianapolis during his weekly show with The Finsiders. "A lot of different players contributed to the success. I thought all three units had a play in it, and I give a lot of credit to our staff. I thought we had our players ready to go."
Ryan Tannehill had another stellar outing, completing 23 of 34 attempts for 319 yards and one touchdown. However, one of the more notable improvements was that of the running game. After hardly being able to muster up any ounce of yardage against the Cleveland Browns, Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas combined to produce 99 yards on 24 carries against the Colts.
Philbin, who will always point to the big picture when you ask him about a specific facet of the game, credited the Dolphins' offensive line for the ground production's turnaround.
"When you look at the film, there was less penetration," he said, "so that enabled our backs to really get on course more than they had the prior week. We covered up the color of the opposition much, much better."
Philbin added Miller and Thomas also did a good job hitting holes and picking up yards after contact, both of which are good signs for Miami's offense moving forward.
But while the play of Tannehill and the running backs were encouraging for the Dolphins, there were also aspects of Sunday's game that might go unnoticed by many, but carried just as much weight in the equation of the final outcome.
One of those phases was that of penalties. For just the sixth time in franchise history, the Dolphins did not commit a single penalty throughout the entire 60 minutes of the contest.
"We talked to the guys and one of the things we said was that got to go out there and play clean and we have to play fast, and play with discipline.' We're on the road, we're potentially in a very loud environment. Our communication has to be good and we just have to play football by the rules," Philbin said of the feat. "And there's a lot of good pictures in the tape of guys where we could have taken a quarterback to the ground, we got our hands on them, we kind of let up a little bit. I think they took the coaching to heed and did a nice job in that area."
The other phase was the strong finishing of the halves, which has long been a point of emphasis for Philbin as Miami's head coach.
After allowing a touchdown with less than two minutes to go in the first half, Tannehill and the offense went to work with just 1:26 on the clock. And they did so quickly and efficiently, moving the ball 44-yards on seven plays to set up Caleb Sturgis with a 54-yard field goal attempt.
The rookie kicker nailed it twice, showing unwavering focus despite Colts head coach Chuck Pagano's attempt to ice him.
"We had talked all week about we have to play better at the half," Philbin said.
"We kicked the field goal, he did it twice," he continued. "He absolutely drilled that second one. I mean, just a huge play in the football game. I told the team at halftime, 'Remember those three points. It's going to be big.'"
Looking ahead, Philbin and the Dolphins will be looking to build off their hot start with a tough test this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons. The New Orleans Saints loom the following week, as Miami will head to the Superdome for a Monday night showdown. The Dolphins then return home for a meeting with the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Baltimore Ravens, before finally catching a break with a bye week.
"We have to do a better job on offense," Philbin said when asked where he would like to see improvement. "Our ball security—the ball was on the ground too much. There's no question about that. And we still have pass protection, we have to show some consistency in the run game and shore up our pass protection."
Philbin also mentioned cutting down on the amount of explosive passing plays allowed by Miami's defense. The first instance that comes to mind was Colts quarterback Andrew Luck hitting a streaking T.Y. Hilton over the head of Brent Grimes for a 47-yard gain in the first half of Sunday's game.
And with Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Roddy White coming to town next weekend, limiting explosive pass plays will definitely be a focus for the Dolphins' defense throughout the week.

Whoa. Check the stats. I believe "Ryan Tannehill had another stellar outing, completing 23 of 34 attempts". Not 23 of 24 attempts – that would be a much bigger story.
Lets go Phins, we got this

No penalties in the entire game? That is a streak that needs to continue.

Summerside, PEI, May 4, 2012 - The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of National Revenue, today announced administrative improvements to the Foreign Convention and Tour Incentive Program (FCTIP) as part of the Harper Government's commitment to Canada's Federal Tourism Strategy. These changes will further secure Canada's place as a destination of choice for group travel.
"Canada's Federal Tourism Strategy sets out a new approach to strengthening Canada's tourism sector, so that the tourism industry can continue to make a significant contribution to creating jobs and growth," said Minister Shea.
The FCTIP provides Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) rebates on certain property and services used during conventions held in Canada, and on the accommodation portion of tour packages for non-residents. The administrative improvements announced today respond to requests from the tourism industry by launching a GST/HST rulings service to inform tour operators in advance about whether their tour packages will be eligible for a rebate; streamlining the processing of FCTIP rebate claims; creating and distributing a multilingual information pamphlet on the program; and making information on the FCTIP easier to find on the CRA website.
"In making it easier for tour operators to get their rebates, the improvements to the Foreign Convention and Tour Incentive Program will help generate sales for our members," said Mr. Anthony Pollard, President and CEO of the Hotel Association of Canada. "We have a shared interest with the Government of Canada in ensuring that the program acts as an incentive in bringing visitors to Canada."
"We are pleased that the Canada Revenue Agency is working with the tourism industry to improve the effectiveness of the Foreign Convention and Tour Incentive Program," said David Goldstein, President and CEO of the Tourism Industry Association of Canada. "The administrative changes to the FCTIP are positive steps that will make this program work better for international tour operators and tourism businesses in Canada."

LOL, you just mentioned the 'Nets'.... You mean the Islanders of the NBA??
Whats the big debate for today, me and dezz vs Pappy on the Hip Hop vs Rock debate??
Dude, Nets are going to be the next big thing. Even if it takes them a few years to get on their feet talent-wise...the move to BK, and with the amount of "hype men" giving them exposure....
Sounds corny, but Jay-Z gives the team a little bit of life that they've lacked. And gives the team just a liiiiittle bit more influence when it comes to signing new players, imo...
might not work out, but never know...</p>[/quote]LOL, the Nets may get some attention, but they're NEVER gonna over take the Knicks as the #1 basketball team in town. The Mets, Islanders, Devils, and even Jets had years where they were the 'hot item in town' but they never overtook the Yanks, Rangers, and Giants as the #1 teams in their sports in the Tri-State Area
They will have the hype and such next season when they play their 1st season in BK, but soon enough everyone will realize they're the same ol NJ Nets they just play in Downtown BK

Deputies: Teen intruders beat man with rifle, vase
ATLANTIC, CARTERET COUNTY - Deputies said teens forced their way into a man's home and beat the victim with a rifle, all in retaliation to claims that the victim had assaulted one of the suspects' mother earlier.
According to Carteret County deputies, 20-year-old Raymond Winchester drove 17-year-old Mark Lester and 16-year-old Caleb Mendoza to the home of 59-year-old Charles Morgan, on Seashore Drive in Atlantic, at about 11 p.m. on July 19.
Investigators said Mendoza and Lester forced their way into Morgan's home, then jumped and assaulted the victim with a Ruger .223 caliber rifle. The suspects repeatedly beat Morgan in the face with the butt of the gun, struck him with their fists, and hit him in the head with a vase, deputies said.
Morgan suffered numerous facial fractures and was taken to Carteret General Hospital, where he was treated and released.
Mendoza's uncle told NewsChannel 12 what he heard about the alleged attack after his nephew's first court appearance Monday morning.
"[Mendoza] was upset. He went and got two of his friends, they went to the guy's house," said Thomas Mendoza. "From my understanding, they kicked the door down and they beat him up."
According to investigators, the assault on Morgan was an act of revenge. Mendoza's mother had told the boys she was attacked by Morgan earlier in the day, deputies said. Morgan has been charged with assault on a female and communicating threats.
Meanwhile, Mendoza has been charged with first-degree burglary, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, and assault inflicting serious bodily injury. Lester has been charged with first-degree burglary and assault inflicting serious bodily injury. Winchester has been charged with aiding and abetting for each charge of first-degree burglary, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, and assault inflicting serious bodily injury.
Thomas Mendoza reacted to the charges against his nephew.
"He's 16. I don't think he really knows what he's really done. I think he knows he assaulted someone. [But] he doesn't know the consequences of the crime," Thomas Mendoza told NewsChannel 12.
All three suspects were being held in the Carteret County Jail under a $30,000.00 bond.

Paramore visited MTV to premiere the video for their latest single, "Now," from their self-titled album which is due on April 9. The clip shows frontwoman Hayley Williams singing while walking through a brutal battleground filled with fiery explosions and hand-to-hand combat. During the premiere, the trio spoke to MTV about what the new, self-titled album means to them."[The album] said so much to us as we were making it; it was this whole rediscovery of who we are as people, as artists, as a collective unit. It really taught us a lot about ourselves as a band, and that was so fun," said Williams. "It felt like the same feeling I got when we were kids, playing in Taylor's basement or Jeremy's living room. Every morning I would wake up and we'd go into the studio, and it was like 'I don't know anything; I'm just going in and we're going to make music.' It was nice to not know everything, and not feel like we're in a pattern, we're in a routine, we know what's coming next. Every day was something new and exciting."The band also talked about the length of the record, which is quite hefty at 17 songs. The tracklist features three musical interludes, which Paramore said played a key part in the album coming together."We had writer's block pretty badly one time, and these interludes just happened," guitarist Taylor York explained. "They're really different... [they've got] ukulele, [they're] really just weird for us, but it felt like we had to write those to continue writing the record. So I feel like they tell some sort of story; they're more like mini songs than interludes."As previously reported, Paramore will hit the road for a U.S. tour beginning April 25 in Houston and running through May 21 in Atlanta. The opening act for the trek will be alt-rock group Kitten, who are currently finishing up their full length debut for Elektra Records.

My question is, has anyone out there tried a hand crank extractor either with 9 or 18 frames before and if so, is it feasible? Or, is it just too much extractor to turn?

Very pretty. More or less quilting is up to you.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Very pretty. More or less quilting is up to you.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
Less is more - great job!
looks good as it is, but more quilting will not make it look overdone
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
I love your quilt...but I would add more quilting, it will pop your applique
It looks nice as it is but if you wanted to add more quilting, I would put in a stipple to match the background fabric. White thread would blend in and would add quilting but not take away from the design.
Thanks Tartan, like your idea. I keep looking at the quilt and think I will give that a try.
I think just a bit more quilting in the plaid would do it you have time. I don't think it would sag with what you have done, but over time, it might, if it were hanging.
Very pretty, I am always amazed at people who can applique so beautifully...not my cup of tea!
One more material Girl~
I think it's perfect as it is! Less is definitely more and this is such a pretty quilt!

Run for Mercy
'What love is about'
Pastor is on the receiving end as college organizes fund-raiser for daughter's medical bills.
When Kevin Doyle's daughter was 2 years old, she was spry and energetic, but in the space of a week, she went from jumping and skipping to not being able to roll over in her crib without help.
Doctors believed it was a virus that would pass, Doyle said, but now at 7 years old, Mercy Doyle is struggling with the same symptoms.
She suffers from tremors in her feet and deteriorated muscle coordination. She is unable to walk or crawl.
"We've been through four different chemotherapy treatments and some other similar-style stuff that people use for very strong arthritis," Doyle said. "We've had a great collaboration of doctors … and they just cannot seem to come up with any type of way to move forward."
Her parents have traveled anywhere they can for medical treatment; and neurological specialists from across the country have consulted on Mercy's case.
"Basically, they said they know it's an autoimmune thing, but she's unique to herself," Doyle said. "There's just no diagnosis for her."
Kevin and Camie Doyle both graduated from Vanguard University, the private Christian college in Costa Mesa, in 1999.
In mid December, Kevin got a call from Vanguard staff. They wanted to help raise money for Mercy.
"I do know some people there, but it still comes out of left field for me," Doyle said. He and his family live in Las Vegas, where he's a pastor.
During this weekend's homecoming, Vanguard will host a 5K run with all proceeds going to Mercy's medical expenses, which have so far topped $500,000, Doyle said.
Organizers say about 120 people have signed up to run at 9 a.m. Saturday.
Doyle said encouragement he's received even from strangers have helped sustain his family through Mercy's treatment.
"We do have a great church family," Doyle said. "We have a support system that has really surrou
nded us."
He said he's not sure how he'll react Saturday. The school has asked him to watch the proceedings instead of run in them.
"I think I'll feel supported. And I think our family will just feel loved," Doyle said. "We are typical as people in ministry. We typically giv
e. And we love to give. But to be on the receiving side is very humbling. I feel like it's really what love is about."
The 5K is open to the public. Anyone interested in running can register for $10 at vanguard.edu/RunForMercy.

Get the Look: Isolt Collection
Isolt is the Celtic Goddess of love and fertility. She is known as a powerful force of energy, passion, love, endurance, and healing. Inspired by Isolt, we created a collection of complementary shades that create a strong and romantic look.
Our Isolt Collection includes Eternal a shimmering bronze eyeshadow, Cosmic a golden toned blue eyeshadow, and Tender Radiant Finishing Powder a sheer nude with a soft golden finish.
On Sarah, we created and alluring smokey eyed look perfect for spring nights. Here is how you can get the look.
1. Start with a sheer layer of Satin Matte Foundation applied with our most loved #25 Foundation Brush. Sarah's shade is Beige 3 Satin Matte Foundation.
2. With our #17 Blush Brush apply a very soft application of our Satin Matte Blush in Melon to the apples of your cheeks and blend lightly to your temple.
3. Work a small amount of our Radiant Finishing Powder in Tender in the bristles of our favorite multi-tasker the #23 Kitten Brush, and apply with a light hand as you would a bronzer. With the #37 Eye Blending Brush you can target the brow bone and upper cheekbone for more of a highlighting effect.
4. Now for the eyes…start by wetting the #33 Angle Liner Brush and line your upper lash line with Eternal. Applying our shadows wet will give you the maximum depth and color pay off.
5. After your liner has had a moment to dry, use the #39 Large Shadow Brush to blend Eternal up into your crease. For bolder coverage this can also be applied wet.
6. Line the bottom lash line with Eternal using our #33 Angle Liner Brush.
7. With a #37 Eye Blending Brush pop Cosmic to the center of the lids to create a burst of color. You can also use your finger to reapply for more intensity.
8. We filled in Sarah's brows with our Satin Matte Eyeshadow in Mahogany. Our #33 Angle Liner Brush is the perfect tool for the job. Sweep the shade sparingly along your brows for extra definition and face framing.
9. Next, coat your lashes with Natural Definition Mascara in Brown.
10. Our Lip Tint in Mango on the lips is the perfect finishing touch for this look.
This romantic look is lovely on all, and so simple once you follow the steps. We hope you love the look! Be inspired, be daring, be naturally gorgeous you.

Ogletree could play either though imo. JWill could *not* play MIKE or SAM with any consistency. How do you put a guy who you say is weak against the run (and I agree ... JWill is not strong against the run) at the SAM or MIKE spots?!
Not sure Arthur Brown has the size for either the WILL (kind of short compared to Ogletree) or the MLB (light). At 6'1, I'm not sure how much more weight his frame could take and still sustain his speed which is one of his strong points.
Ogletree and Brown are currently ranked really close to each other but I have a feeling Ogletree will rise while Brown will stay around a mid to late 2nd rounder (meaning Brown might be available to us where Ogletree might not).

UTSA tech support services conducts network forums
(March 24, 2005)--The UTSA Office of Technology Support Services (TSS) will conduct two forums for faculty and staff members to discuss development of the UTSA computer network.
The first session is 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., Tuesday, March 29 in Buena Vista Street Building Room 1.338 at the Downtown Campus. The second forum is 1-3 p.m., Wednesday, March 30 in the University Center Laurel Room (2.01.28) at the 1604 Campus.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

Dear Brothers and Sister in Christ Jesus,
Greetings from Japan! As Paul wrote in Philemon, I thank God for you because your love has put your generosity to work and through it good things are being done for Christ. (Philemon 1:4-7). In particular your response to the unimaginable disaster that struck Japan in early March has refreshed the hearts of many and is helping to lead even more to a knowledge and faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!

Pay it Forward: The HUB makes difference in La Pine
After-school program happily surprised with $500
LA PINE, Ore. - Lynn Buck is a familiar face to dozens of La Pine students who come to The HUB after school.
"So many schools have had to cut different programs, so we are able to add some of those enrichment activities back in such as archery, and working with van go to do art," said Buck, the community school coordinator at The HUB.
Since it opened in April 2011, The HUB has welcomed dozens of middle school and high school kids. Anywhere from 20 to 60 students every day come to work with tutors, .let out some energy and, most importantly, to learn.
"Many of our parents work in Bend, so to have a place for these kids to come that's safe to hang out after school and to know that it's going to be warm and safe and out of the snow is really good for this community," Buck said.
"My husband and I have eight kids -- five of them are adopted, and so they've been kind of a challenge for us," said parent Robin Marsh.
Marsh's kids have been a part of The HUB for the past few years. And without it, Marsh said she just can't imagine how things would be.
"The Hub has just been a blessing. They've kept my family together and kept my sanity," Marsh said.
That blessing is why Marsh wants to pay it forward.
On behalf of NewsChannel 21, Co Energy Propane and Mid Oregon Credit Union, we presented Marsh with $500 to pay it forward to The HUB.
Then we surprised the organization after school.
"It's honestly such a huge honor to be a part of this," Buck said after being surprised with the money. "And so many times, when I'm talking to my tutors or site supervisor -- if we can just help one kid, and to know we are helping multiple families -- there are no words."
Buck says the money will go toward a new woodworking program they've been trying to start for the high school students. The cost of materials has been a bit of a setback for The HUB, but not any more.
"I just appreciate everything they've done for us and the community," Marsh said.
It's the community that drives Buck and The HUB to pay it forward for the kids.
"We had a kid last year who was contemplating suicide, and now he is one of our volunteers. That makes every hard day, every frustrating moment worth it," Buck said.
If you would like to nominate someone or a group like The HUB for our Pay it Forward award, you can do so on our KTVZ.COM home page. All the information is under the Contests tab at the top of every page.

Rob and Kristen are going through a very difficult time in their life and this are trials and tribulations that we go in life. What Kristen did she made a mistake and their many reasons why we cheat and its not acceptable but its always explaination why? However, shame on the Rupert because he is a married man with children and more experience in life and it seems to me her wife is having a good time enjoying herself in the red carpet so she seems not to get affected by the cheating scandel of her husband. I see Rob and Kristen are very affected and they both are hurting very much and who are we to judge Kristen because we do mistakes but we have to learned to forgive and work things out because they love each other. They cannot let the media or other individuals interfered in their relationships they need to forgive and heal the wounds and move on. Rob and Kristen you will find your way again and wish you both the best because you are meant to be together it doesn't matter what everyone says what's important what makes you happy. I hear everyones negative comments and who are we to judge when no one in this world is perfect it doesn't matter your rich, poor we are all human.

I hope he speaks up!
Posted at 2:23 AM on August 13, 2012
I really hope Rob speaks up and says something this week about all this in defense of himself and even Kristen. Tells people to mind their own business and let them work this out on their own terms and in their own time. It's really no ones business but their own and all the cheating talk really needs to stop. He could shut that down completely by saying point blank he's never been a cheater with any of those women and their working on getting past Kristen's own indiscretion right now. That doesn't mean they'll get back together but at least they can try to forgive and move on as colleagues/friends again. I hope his team advises him that would be the best thing to do for BOTH of them right now, or if not he just does it on his own. He's always kind of done that and not followed what his handlers said to do anyway. He's been his own person. That would nip this all in the bud. Period.

Savannah College of Art and Design holds Commencement ceremonies in Savannah, Atlanta, Hong Kong
Nearly 2,000 graduates will participate in Savannah College of Art and Design's Commencement 2013 at the university's locations in Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia, and Hong Kong this week.
Architect, urban planner, educator, theorist and author Moshe Safdie will deliver the commencement addresses at the Savannah and Atlanta ceremonies Saturday, June 1, while Hong Kong graduates will receive their degrees on Friday, May 31.
A prolific architect for more than 50 years, Safdie is particularly well known in Georgia for his 2006 design of the state-of-the-art Jepson Center for the Arts in Savannah. He has completed a wide range of cultural, educational and civic projects including neighborhoods and public parks, mixed-use urban centers and airports, and master plans for existing communities and entirely new cities around the world.
Safdie's experimental town of stacked housing units in Montreal, known as Habitat 67, is widely considered a revolutionary design in the history of architecture and one of the most recognizable and significant buildings in Canada. The beehive-like housing complex landed Safdie on the cover of Newsweek and was classified a historic monument by the Quebec government in 2009.
Integral in the rebuilding of Jerusalem, Safdie is responsible for major segments of the Old City's restoration and reconstruction of the new city center, linking the old and new cities. Many of his firm's buildings have become beloved regional and national landmarks, including Salt Lake City Public Library, Salt Lake City, Utah; Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts; Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, California; and Toronto Pearson International Airport, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Major international projects Safdie Architects is currently constructing or has recently completed include a national museum of the Sikh people in the Punjab, India; the United States Institute of Peace Headquarters in Washington, D.C.; a high-density residential project in China; and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, for Wal-Mart heiress Alice Walton.
SCAD will honor the following individuals as 2013 valedictorians, salutatorians, excelsus laureates, presidential medalists and honorary degree recipients:
Naomi Ayelet Fox graduates with a B.F.A. in fibers. Following her older sister to SCAD, Fox quickly found her niche in the fibers department, exploring diverse mediums and fabricating layers of texture by weaving, knitting and crocheting. Her inspired work won her a host of honors and she was named a Ralph Lauren Intern Project finalist, the 2013 Cotton Incorporated Competition winner in the collaboration category, and a Karin Shier Memorial Scholarship recipient. Today, Fox is an assistant designer at the New York City office of Keeco LLC, a textile and apparel design firm.
Charlotte Catherine Kirby-O'Connell graduates with a B.F.A. in animation. At SCAD, Kirby-O'Connell quickly gravitated toward rigging, a subspecialty of animation and the perfect marriage of science and art. Using specialized technologies, Kirby-O'Connell developed a control system, or 'rig,' to sculpt facial expressions, define muscle movements and breathe life into an imagined character. Her student work was exceptional and led to six internship offers her junior year alone. In the end, she chose two: Witmer Lab, a paleontology lab in Ohio, where she researched dinosaur anatomy for her senior thesis; and Blue Sky Studio in Connecticut, where she rigged props and background characters for such animated features as "Epic" and "Rio 2," which are scheduled for release in 2014. Immediately following graduation, Kirby-O'Connell will begin a rigging internship at the Motion Picture Company in New York.
Excelsus Laureate
William Glen Penny graduates with an M.F.A. in painting. Penny joined SCAD's university community in 2006 to pursue his undergraduate degree in painting and later returned to pursue his M.F.A. Over the past few years, Penny has received impressive honors: the Dean's Fellowship, Outstanding Achievement Award in Painting, Portfolio Award, Josh Yu Painting Scholarship and International Student Scholarship, among others. He has exhibited in the United States and Canada and participated alongside international artists during the SCAD 2013 deFINE ART program. This spring, pushing his art into new dimensions, Penny received the commission for the 2013 SCAD Fashion Show set installation. After graduation, Penny plans to pursue a career in post-secondary education and to continue exploring the possibilities of painting through exhibitions, private commissions and community-oriented projects.
Presidential Medalist
Elizabeth Winnel graduates with an M.F.A. in painting. Winnel earned a B.F.A. in illustration from SCAD, through the course of which she studied at SCAD Lacoste, interned at a contemporary art communications firm and organized group exhibitions. Before returning to SCAD for graduate studies, Winnel lived in New York and worked as a painter and studio assistant. With an extensive résumé of exhibitions, awards and teaching experience, Winnel is both an accomplished painter and businesswoman, who has cultivated various artistic collaborations, most recently licensing her artworks for clothing and jewelry.
Abagael Warnars graduates with a B.F.A. in interior design. She cofounded and served as president of the Atlanta Art History Society, where she campaigned to raise awareness of art history programs. A natural leader, Warnars served as vice president of the Interior Design Organization and volunteered during university breaks, restoring homes and building community centers in disinvested communities around St. Louis, Missouri, and Chicago, Illinois. Warnars also studied at SCAD Hong Kong. An Academic Scholarship recipient and Tau Sigma Delta member, Warnars was recognized in the IIDA Best of the Best Awards. The organization created a special recognition award to honor her work in the IIDA Student Sustainability Competition. Following graduation, Warnars plans to continue to study the anthropological implications of design, with focus on the needs of nomadic cultures and how those translate into modern building arts.
Andrew B. Jordan graduates with a B.F.A. in painting. He received Artistic Merit Scholarships as well as the 2011 Glenda Knight Keyes Prize for Outstanding Talent. As a painting student at SCAD, Jordan worked intensely, fueled by years of conceptualized but incomplete artworks, even spending his breaks as a night security guard painting self-portraits using a borrowed mirror. Jordan's art explores concepts of mortality and infinity, experimenting with a variety of pigments with a laboratory-like methodology. He sees himself in the paint, as transparent as watercolor, as opaque as acrylic, as lush as oil, always changing but forever connected to the painters who came before him. After completing his studies in the fall, Jordan returned to his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, where he continues to create fine art. He has accepted a number of commissions and is working with local art patrons to increase awareness and support of the arts.
Excelsus Laureate
Ben Rollins graduates with an M.F.A. in photography. He enrolled at SCAD Atlanta in 2010 and soon began to distance himself from the digital work he mastered in his home of West Texas, returning to large format film and manually developing prints. His goal was simple: to create art with his hands. Over the past few years, Rollins has worked with such nationally lauded companies as HGTV and the Turner Broadcasting System. Long-term freelance projects have taken him to China and Belize, where he documented international humanitarian work. Most recently, Rollins' work explores the infinite connections between people and their environments, advocating that a portrait is relational and interactive, a conversation and an opportunity to engage. In the coming months, Rollins will become a father. Armed with a shining M.F.A. from SCAD, an ever-lengthening lineup of commissions, and a beautiful new family, Rollins' future is sure to be bright.
Honorary Degree Recipient
Augusten Burroughs is the celebrated author of numerous bestsellers including the memoir "Running with Scissors" and the self-help book "This Is How: Proven Aid in Overcoming Shyness, Molestation, Fatness, Spinsterhood, Grief, Disease, Lushery, Decrepitude & More. For Young and Old Alike," which was released in paperback in May.
A successful advertising copywriter for more than 17 years, Burroughs was also an alcoholic who nearly drank himself to death in 1999. Spurred by a compulsion he did not understand, Burroughs began to write a novel. Never outlining or consciously structuring the book, Burroughs wrote "as fast as I could type, to keep up." Seven days later, Burroughs had written his first book, "Sellevision," and had stopped drinking. "Sellevision" remains his only published novel and is currently in development as a feature film.
Burroughs' second book, "Running with Scissors," was a publishing phenomenon that helped to ignite a memoir fever in the publishing industry, and it ultimately was made into a movie. Released in 2001 to unanimous critical acclaim, the memoir remained on the New York Times bestseller list for more than four consecutive years, spending eight months at number one.
Burroughs has since published four additional autobiographical volumes, "Dry," "Possible Side Effects," "Magical Thinking" and "A Wolf at the Table," all of them bestsellers.

Allergies On The Rise
This year's allergy season is already shaping up to be a rough one for Georgia residents. High pollen counts can make life miserable for those who suffer from allergies, but the Atlanta Allergy Center offers many resources to pinpoint the causes and ease the symptoms of allergy victims.
The AAC website lists runny nose, watery eyes, post nasal drip, congestion and coughing as some of the common allergy symptoms people experience. To determine specifically what a patient is allergic to, the allergist may perform a skin test. This will rule out potential allergens as well as figure out what problematic reactions occur.
Treatment for allergies can come in a variety of different forms ranging from medications to immunotherapy. It is also suggested that you avoid triggers to your allergies by keeping windows closed in your home and showering after outdoor activities.
To locate a board certified allergist near you, check out the Atlanta Allergy Center list of locations and schedule an appointment today.

New Plan for Selling the Motorcycle
Both Dave and I tossed and turned instead of falling fast asleep like we usually do. We were mulling over the prospect of riding back to Ahmedabad to sell the motorcycle. How long would that take? A day to drive, 2, 3, 4 or more days to sell it. And then how much could we really get for it? We'd have hotel expenses and no activities on our agenda.
Then Dave joked that he would rather drive the motorcycle all the way to Mumbai Airport on our departure then leave it running in front of the departure hall as we go in. (Actually, he insisted that he is not joking.) But even if we could only get a hundred bucks for the bike, it would still be better than four hundred in Ahmedabad when considering all the wasted time.
The more days we ride, the more we've gotten into the rhythm and freedom of riding and have become somewhat desensitized to the insane Indian driving habits.
Still, I regularly get a knot in my stomach at the thought of navigating through madhouse traffic with heavily loaded bike. I do take my job of directing traffic while sitting on the back very seriously. My hand-signals stop traffic in its tracks and my choice words at any dip shit who fails to heed would make a dockworker blush. But behind all that bravado I am close to losing my last meal and breathe a sigh of relief when we hit the quieter roads on the outskirts.
With the troubling prospect of a return to Ahmedabad off our minds, and a long pleasant ride south to Ellora, Hampi, Oti, Goa, or as far as Kerala, in our thoughts, we fell fast asleep.
Getting out of Vadodara
We took advantage of the high speed internet connection at our hotel until noon.
We followed our city map and directions from the hotel manager for the best way out of town. Not any of the streets have signs. Whenever we thought we were due for another turn, we asked.
Big Mountain On the Horizon, Our Destination.
Champaner is just over 50 km from Vadodara, mostly on a toll-road. As got half way, we could see the volcanic mountain jutting up. It seems out of place in this otherwise completely flat landscape. The highway was flat to the landmark fort at Champaner, then a steep serpentine road led up the mountain.
Our hotel is in Pavagadh, halfway up that mountain from Champaner Fort. It is near a cable car lift that goes up most the way to Kalikamata Temple on the mountain's summit.
We checked into the government run guest house in Pavagadh named Champaner Hotel. Its location is convenient and views fantastic. But sadly, like many buildings in India, it appears pretty rundown with peeling paint, cracked concrete and unwashed windows.
Our room was simple but has balcony overlooking the forest to plains in the distance below. The only sounds were of the many birds. And aahhhh.....crispy clean cotton sheets, and we got a top-sheet, towels, soap and TP. Hot water buckets can be ordered between 6:30 am and 8:00 am!! We asked ours to be delivered at 8 am. We relaxed the rest of the day reserving exploration of the UNESCO World Heritage Site for the next morning.
The hotel restaurant has limited snack menu and they told us they understood our request for NON SPICY and promised to make our samosas not spicy. Of course, they were painfully spicy.
The dinner thali they made us was only mildly spicy but swimming in oil. I asked, for the next evening, to just boil vegetables, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots – no sauce, no curry, no chili – and maaay-beeee, a pinch of salt and some butter. It is frustrating sometimes but the restaurant's pleasant manager sure tried to listen and make us happy.
The restaurant looks out over a neglected flowering garden where many different birds take advantage of a leaky hose. They spatter and preen. Black hummingbirds, with blue iridescent backs, made it back and forth to one favorite flowering bush right in front of us. For us it was like sitting in an aviary. I could have watched for hours.
17 January - Visiting the UNESCO Heritage Site of Champaner & Pavagadh
- Cablecar to Kalika Mata Temple
- And Lakulish Temple (on a small lake)
- The arches Saat Kaam (meaning 7 arches) Kamana Gate
- Mosques down in the valley in Champaner:
Kevda Masjid, Jama Masjid andSahar Ki Masjid
- And Champaner ancient fort walls
Cable Car Ride to the Temples
The cable car to the top of the mountain was a 10 minute walk from our hotel. We decided to make the pilgrimage to the top the easy way this time since we had a full day planned. The cable car was Swiss made and we felt safe. On top, we hiked the remaining 1.5 km to the Kalika Mata Temple.
The entire trail to the top of the mountain was lined with a gauntlet of booths and stands, some with drinks and snacks, some with souvenirs, and some selling offerings to take into the temple.
The temple is total void of any interesting buildings or artifacts. It is an important pilgrimage site, thus very popular with Indian visitors. A small hut with a holy man giving blessings blocked the view down to the fort or archaeological structures. The view from the top over the plains was great.
1000 year old Lakulish Temple
Walking back to the lift, we almost missed the more interesting Lakulish Temple ruin near a small pond which was blocked from our view behind the trinket stalls. The ancient temple was perched on an outcrop above the small pond which was mostly dry. Later we saw a picture of the temple taken after the monsoon where it appears to be floating on a lake.
Strangely, nobody stopped there. We had the place to ourselves.
Back Down the Mountain to Champaner
We got on the motorcycle and made our way down the mountain. The road was full of switchbacks and turns. Our first stop, just a few switchbacks from our hotel, were the arches Saat Kaam (meaning 7 arches).
There were stubs of fort walls here and there on the mountain and many Indians were following a footpath that goes by them to the top of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain are the remnants of a 6 km long outer fort wall. The wall is no longer continuous. We drove by the prominent Jami Maj-id mosque and continued toward another picturesque mosque we could see in the distance and soon ran out of road.
We parked and hiked to the front opening in the fence. We shared the Kevda Maj-id ruin (a mosque and cenotaph dating to 1511) with two young Indian men, who also arrived on a motorcycle, and a gardener. No other tourists within cannon range! We practically had the place to ourselves.
Two of the Mosques at Champaner had a ticket booth where they ask foreigners to pay 250 Rs each ($5). But because Indians are charged something like 20Rs, the request for 250 Rs from us seemed like a slap in the face. We had just seen the free, similarly beautiful, mosque and so admired the two pay mosques from the distance.
We hiked up steps to the top of the fort wall and took in the view before calling it a day and rode the 12km back up the hill to our hotel.
And YES, for dinner we were each served a big plate with boiled root-vegetables; potato, beets, carrots and some cauliflower thrown in for good measure. Deliciously fresh and, because they were not camouflaged in thick sauces and spices, we could taste the natural flavors!

Cooking in the bag
Hi everyone!
I only have one Jamie book, "Jamie's Kitchen" Anyway, there are only a few recipes for cooking in the bag with fish. I was wondering if you guys know of anymore? I saw a few on his show Happy Days, but didnt get a chance to write them down. Also, if you have any tips, that would be great.
I hope you can help!

Re: Cooking in the bag
you can put whatever you want in there mate, next time you're shopping have a look round the veggies and just see what takes your fancy, i love this way of cooking when im feeling lazy and its great for getting rid of those need-to-use-today veggies that are shoved in the bottom of the fridge.
be adventurous, and be honest with yourself, if it aint good skip it next time. you'll soon have loadsa recipes of your own.

by Mark Hardesty, D.V.M.
The author is a partner in Maria Stein Animal Clinic, Maria Stein, Ohio.
Dave and I were working through a calf raising evaluation form developed by one of our drug companies. The form compared Dave's records to benchmarks at different performance levels. For example, if 80 percent of the calves have serum total proteins over 5.5, you were in the 80th percentile of calf raisers across the country.
We had most of the evaluation completed from Dave's records in an hour. He ranked in the top 80 percent overall but wasn't satisfied. Dave said, "I just went to a financial meeting where only the top 20 percent of dairy producers actually make a profit after they pay a return on their investment and a return to management and labor. We have to be excellent to thrive. Average is the best of the worst. Management is about going beyond trading time for money. It is about creating a better return by giving our employees and our animals the best tools to excel."
Room to grow
He went on, "Yes it's good to know where I rank, but really improvement needs to be compared to ourselves over time." The evaluation had an area for suggested improvements, but Dave said, "Wait, these are calves, we get a chance with each one to do everything right. We don't have to compare to what we've always done."
I agreed that calves give us that unique opportunity to start over every time. On some farms, many times a day. This differs from milk quality where a group of cows with mastitis needs to be cured faster than those with new infections. Nutrition is so very dependent upon our forage quality that we live with it for an entire year. Reproduction takes time to improve because it starts with calving cows healthy and has many variables. Cow comfort may have significant financial investments to make improvements.
Do you meet the challenge that calves give us to do things right with each one? Dave said, "Let's forget what you know about our operation. It's a new year. Let's spend some time discussing an ideal calf raising routine for the first two months."
We discussed how the first 24 hours of a calf's life are critical for its long-term productivity, but really success starts before that. Dry cow or heifer nutrition, housing - including bunk space - and vaccination programs all contribute to health of newborns.
The process of calving has major impact on calf health, and 1 in 12 calves is stillborn or dead within 24 hours of birth. This can be improved with focus and education on calving management. Let's not leave being born into a clean, dry environment be up to chance.
There are many calving pen strategies depending on the availability of labor to provide surveillance. Dave had attended our calving school last year, so we left that whole discussion for review at another time. Once our calf is born in that clean, dry environment, we need to keep it from being exposed to the bacteria and viruses shed by adult cows, especially in their manure. The path for these pathogens is through the umbilicus and the GI tract.
We disinfect the umbilicus and bottoms of the feet with 7 percent iodine and move calves within minutes of birth to a clean area. Manure on their hair transmits pathogens to their next pen, making it contaminated no matter how clean it was when you put them there.
If calves are removed from their dam, we need to stimulate their breathing and circulation and get them warm and dry. Some of our clean areas allow cows to reach in and lick off the calf while making manure contamination difficult.
One example is a round bale feeder that the calves go into and the cows reach through. Don't leave calves in this type of clean zone for too long as they have an amazing ability to find their way out.
Give them a gallon
The next step in health is feeding a gallon of clean colostrum to Holstein calves within two hours of birth. Smaller calves get proportionally less, but we offer all calves their regular diet at the next scheduled feeding.
The cleanest dairies can feed a second feeding of colostrum. Those that are less clean should feed milk replacer or pasteurized whole milk at the second feeding. The only way that you can know if you have clean colostrum harvesters is to check the standard plate count and coliform count of colostrum samples regularly. Our first day also includes a vitamin E and selenium or multimineral injection and an intranasal respiratory vaccine.
Housing, nutrition and cleanliness are the main focus of the first two months of life. When it comes to housing, it is pretty hard to beat a well-bedded, ventilated calf hutch that is protected from severe weather and well drained. Straw is the favored bedding as calves can nestle down into it to stay warm. We also put calf blankets on all calves less than 3 weeks of age when it is less than 40 degrees. Our weather is severe enough that the trend is toward calf barns that try to approximate the calf hutch environment.
This means our Holstein calves have 25 to 30 square feet of bedding in an individual pen which is the standard. Fresh air is needed to stay healthy, and many buildings have power ventilation to bring fresh air to every calf. We can debate if we want solid sides to have less scours or open sides to have less pneumonia, but the key to both is to get the bedding dry.
Many strategies have been tried to drain the moisture from bedding, but we conclude that the best way to do that is to clean the pens out every three weeks. Some dairies have now learned how to successfully raise calves in groups where the same principles apply. The main requirement of health and growth is sufficient nutrition.
The feeding programs, sometimes called "accelerated" but more accurately "sufficient," for normal growth are needed for all calves. Clean water must be offered either free choice or two or three times daily, and a handful of grain should be available by a few days of age. Calves should be eating 2-1/2 pounds of grain and have been eating a significant amount of grain for three weeks before they are weaned. Hay is not fed to rapidly growing calves until after weaning.
The most successful calf raisers are meticulous about cleaning and understand that every surface that touches milk needs to be cleaned the same way that our milking systems are. This includes a warm water rinse, a hot soapy water wash, disinfectant rinse, then drying. Failure to wash completely results in a buildup that cannot be cleaned and is a great place for bacteria to grow.
Feeding a hefty dose of bacteria to babies is a very efficient way to make them sick. Dave remarked that his dairy was getting most of this done, but there were some details that could improve. I noted that I had really just mentioned the basics, and true craftsmen or women at raising calves had more on their "to-do" list than this short column could cover.
Dave summarized the subject with, "When we know a path to excellence, we can follow it, but we have to stop defending what we have done and gotten away with before." You can certainly benefit from having this discussion with your veterinarian.

Excerpt: "Before he was Eli Manning, two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback, before he was one-time Super Bowl MVP, back when he was a famous player but not nearly a great one, back when there was every reason to wonder what legacy he would leave behind, Manning shared.
It is one of his most underrated assets. As he mastered his position, he quickly realized it would do him no good if those around him, even the roster bottom-feeders, did not know what he knew.
I came from Denver, my first day of practice, know none of the plays, receiver Domenik Hixon said yesterday, recalling a day in October of 2007. I ran a route and Eli came, pulled me to the side and said This is what Im expecting. I kind of was like Wow. Im the last guy on the depth chart at receiver but just in case I ought to know what to do." Read more...

Reviews of this property
Wohnung gut ausgestattet, sehr sauber. Lage ideal für Messebesucher im ExCel Messezentrum mit Zugstopp gleich ums Eck. Gut fanden wir auch, dass ein kleiner Supermarkt im Gebäude war. Das einzig negativ zu kritisierende war das Check-in. Leider muss man den Schlüssel in einem Büro 2 Kilometer von der Wohnung entfernt abholen. Von dem Büro aus kann man dann mit einem Bus die Wohnung anfahren, jedoch mit viel Gepäck recht umständlich.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment was awsome with amazing views to the river, they also offer you a transfer service for a good price. I will recommend to everyone!!
Location is really near to the city centre.
The apartment is spacious and the beds are nice. But unfortunately these tops are in contrast to the flops: furniture is old and dirty. Kitchen misses a lot of stuff.
The bathroom is the worst thing: dirty, old, fungus, broken toilet and sink. No showercurtain in bath so everything gets completely wet.
Blankets and sheets on the beds are dirty. Broken and dangerous wall sockets.
Nice appartment and very well located.
Perfect location! And the front door was fixed immediately when I called and told them it was almost falling out of the frame. This is clearly an appartment if you don't care if things look worn down, and are not very picky about how the shower looks. In other words; To be used for sleeping and luggage storage.
Great apartment with lots of spare. Placed just 5 minutes from Undergrund Aldgate East. Tesco Express next to underground and very nice restaurant Old Moe's.
Nice and quiet area with nearly No traffic.
Checking in was easy and Illona at the office was very helpful.
We will be back for sure and give this place our best recommandations.

It was an awesome weekend in Prague and so was the appartment too!!! We got exactly that what we booked and what we saw on the pictures. The communication was kindly and we got answer within one day. I can just recommend this appartment and the team around of Katarina.
Thank you
Apartment and location were pretty good. Wifi is horrible, there are couple of stairs and specially getting the keys is very complicated. Is not that easy for someone who arrives the first time to get them in a place far from the apartment. Plus flat wasnt B21, was B12 so its kind of confusing.
The apartment was perfect! It was clean, big and very closed to the city centre and to the San Venceslao square. We were in 7 adults and there was enough space for all of us. Nothing negative to say. I will return in this apartment during my next trip in Prague.

Does anyone know of any good deals on complete AR uppers in .223?
Johnny V
AR15 Lowers & Uppers-D S Arms
JSE Surplus
if it was me wanting to build a high end ar-15 on low buck budget. i would get that $275 nitrited upper from DSA. or maybe that 1-7" twist in chrome lined. then i would order the $100 m-16 bolt& carrier and $15 charging handle form Evil black rifle girls.
but if you want a regular upper with no chrome the JSE upper is tough to beat. not as good as those with the mis-matched gas tubes. but pretty good prices non the less.
Thanks much. I knew I could count on you..... Just placed order...
Thanks again
Johnny V
a few years ago--we had JSE selling some uppers with the mis-matched gas tubes and ports. they looked a little off but i hear they ran fine. seems like they were about $270 or so with bolt carrier charging handle-and all IIRC. hell of a deal for some one to build a inexpensive shooter--
i have bought tons of stuff from JSE and EBR--they are sort of the same outfit. they ship super quick too. here is a link to EBR girls
EvilBlackRifleGirls.com - Page 2
i got this very nice m-16 bolt carrier group from them last year. very nice and the same one that is sold for $150 in other shops. chrome lined gas key and properly staked to boot.
I think that's the sound I heard as the front takedown detent pin took off for places unknown.
I was so proud of myself that I had only a couple insignificant things happen on this build that I started to get cocky when assembling the lower and then there goes the pin. Luckily the spring was easy to find, not so with the detent pin. I didn't have another detent pin, so I took a 3/32" drill bit, cut the shank, ground the ends, and put the rest of the lower together, being a bit more careful this time. I'll post some finished pictures sometime this weekend
Good thing this happened, as it reaffirmed the fact of being more careful when working with these small springs.
i have had a few of those little flea sized pins go into orbit myself.
i made a spare from the left over steel stem from a 1/8th pop-rivet.
you can make a little tool that makes installing that little pin a snap. but every time i build a new lower that little tool i made is AWOL and i end up putting in the pin the old fashioned way!:bangin:
Before I started using a 1/4" clevis pin to install the take down detent I would install it with the lower in a ziplock bag. That way you don't loose the detent should it go flying.
note: the alum pop-rivits with the alum stems are hard to find. when i find them i usually buy a small box of them. i think the last ones i found were at tractor supply co. i need to find some more as i cannot find the ones i had now. if some one finds them let us know where.

Doesn't sound like you want to eat that one............
They didn't come out up until about 8:00pm last night, but boy when they did,,,it must have been 15 of them all at one time.
This one turned out away from the pack and gave me a nice clean shot at about 80 yards,,,and that was all it took,,,,,BOOM! He hit the ground and did the horizontal dirt dance.
Ill tell ya how tuff these hogs are. As you know I'm shooting the 454 Casull bullet in my Taurus. Well, its a bullet that is 260 grains of lead that travels 1,800 feet per second, and it didn't go all the way through this time. I hit this pig in the shoulder and there was no exit wound. On most shots it goes all the way through the hog. He was still alive when we walked up on him. Now that's tuff!
My buddy hunted a new stand we put up a few weeks ago in the very back of the club, but didn't see anything. We have pictures of hogs in the area,,but they didn't show up this time.
