Sail Away Home
It's clearly no secret that I love nautical. If you look in my closet, I have an unhealthy obsession with stripes. If you look around my house, you will definitely see hints of coastal cottage in every room. It's just something that makes me feel like I'm tucked away in a cozy cottage along the beaches of Cape Cod that gets me every time. When I saw this Longitude and Latitude art on Pinterest, I just couldn't resist.
Longitude & Latitude Framed Art
Skill Level: < T-ball Skill level
Time: approx. 15 minutes (and that's being generous)
Cost: $8 total (less if you have an old frame laying around)
Materials Bought: Frame & Mat, both from Michael's
I bought the frame and the mat at Michael's Craft Store for approximately $8 total.
I was surprised to find out that the mat was two different layers. I ended up using both layers of mat, but I could have saved one for another project and saved some cash.
I had a 5×7″ opening to work with. That is where my latitude and longitude art would go.
This is a picture of the Microsoft Word Document that I created to fit into that 5×7″ opening. I chose to use the coordinates of our new hometown, which I found by googling the name of our town. Now all you sailors out there can figure out how to navigate your way into our neck of the woods. #yikes
Press print and lay your document under the mat to identify how much paper you will need to trim.
Trace the excess paper.
Cut along these traced lines. The best part about using a mat is that your cuts do not have to be anywhere near perfect, as they will be completely hidden by the mat.
I taped my document in place just to be sure it would stand the test of time. But if you're an all-star with the scissors, you can cut your document to fit perfectly into the frame and you won't have to bother with tape.
My favorite part…. enjoying my
hard work. (If you can even call that work)
I am absolutely love, love, loving this nautical ode to our new hometown! Every time I glance at it, I get that feeling of breezing along the coast of Connecticut on a gorgeous sailboat, and instantly, my love for all things nautical grows a little deeper.

vacation 12 days post-op?
- kkre
- Last updated: 4 years ago
I'm scheduled for a BR (yay!) on July 27th. My husband surprised me with a 5 day trip soon after - departing August 8th. We are going to Vieques, Puerto Rico where the main things to do are relax, lay on the beach, and snorkel. I know I can't get in the water for 6-8 weeks so snorkeling and swimming are out. I'm debating about rescheduling the trip for after I can do those things, BUT that means I'd be back at work by then (I'm a teacher). Taking a few days off is no problem for me because I have several saved up, but I'm torn between my options: 1. BR on July 27th, vacation on August 8th and not snorkel or swim. 2. Go on vacation as planned on August 8th, but postpone my BR until after I get back which means I'd have to take time off of work. I teach junior high so I would easily be able to mostly sit and talk for a few days after I return to work. If this is the best option, how few days do you think I can get away with taking off? 3. Have the BR as planned on July 27th; postpone the vacation. This is probably the best option, but I'm not sure we can change the tickets. If we can't, this option is out. Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom you can offer me!

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Oops, Obama ad mocks McCain's inability to send e-mail. Trouble is, he can't due to tortured fingers | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times
Obama's latest attack mentions that McCain:
"He admits he doesn't know how to use a computer, can't send an e-mail."
but we see that;
"McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan -- Ted Williams is his hero -- but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball."

Barriers and drivers of new public-private infrastructure: sewer mining
CRC Construction Innovation (2006) Barriers and drivers of new public-private infrastructure: sewer mining. CRC for Construction Innovation, Brisbane.
|Published Version (PDF 1MB)
The rate of water reform in Australia is gathering pace with Federal and State initiatives promoting a more integrated approach to water management. This approach encompasses a more competitive environment and a greater role for the private sector. There is a growing recognition of the importance of water recycling in these initiatives and the need to provide opportunities for its development. In March 2008 the Productivity Commission published its discussion paper on urban water reform (Productivity Commission, 2008). The paper cited inadequate institutional arrangements for the management of Australian urban water resources and noted the benefits to be gained from a comprehensive public review of urban water management. This development can be supported through the promotion of a sewer mining industry. This industry, offers flexible and innovative solutions to water recycling demands in a variety of situations and structures. In addition it has the capability of satisfying government competition and private sector policy initiatives.

I have an 05 STi, i have prettymuch everything done it it i want except suspension(after the turbo). So Rigt now i am sitting at 305whp and 317TQ. I want to get her around 400whp, and more with TQ. I was looking at the garrett GT3076R Turbo. I have heard nothing but good from garrett. Is this a solid turbo i cant seem to find many reviews, if not what would be a good turbo to get me around 400
A 3076 should get you to your goal and is a good turbo. You need to decide what if you are staying with stock location or going to a rotated kit. Either way you will need to get bigger injectors and a bigger TMIC/FMIC to keep up with the flow from that turbo. If you can tell me whether you are going rotated or not I can point out some options for you.

Everyone knows that uncooked spaghetti starts off aligned and ordered in the box but changes into a tangled mass of pasta once boiled in water. Imagine how difficult it would be to try to realign the spaghetti noodles.
Researchers in the chemistry laboratory of assistant professor J.D. Tovar at Johns Hopkins University have been making self-assembling nanowires made up of short peptide molecules with engineered electronic functions that have the potential for direct electronic interfacing with cells. The problem was, Tovar's nanowire production method favored the fibers to form randomly jumbled networks, much like cooked spaghetti noodles on a plate. In that disordered arrangement, it would be difficult to control their alignment or allow them to interface with cells.
So Tovar and his PhD student, Brian Wall, turned to postdoctoral fellow Shuming Zhang from the lab of associate professor Hai-Quan Mao in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the Whiting School of Engineering. Wall, who is lead author on the paper recently published online in Advanced Materials, worked closely with Zhang and Stephen Diegelmann, one of Tovar's former PhD students.
Together, the team created noodle-like arrays made up of self-assembling nanowires that all line up in the same direction to form thicker bundles with electrically conductive properties. Polarized optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to confirm that individual nanowires were nearly perfectly aligned within each noodle bundle.
With the help of PhD student Thomas Dawidczyk from the laboratory of the Howard Katz, professor and chair of Materials Science and Engineering, the team demonstrated that better alignment increases the fiber bundle's ability to conduct electricity, Tovar said. The nanowire bundles "resemble a large electrical cable made up of individual wires," Tovar added.
The long-term goal of the project is to use the nanowire noodles to forge electronic bridges with living cells or energy-relevant proteins. Tovar said improved nanowire alignment also is important to developing applications in tissue engineering. The aligned structure and peptide nature of these scaffold materials make it easier to functionalize these materials to guide cell growth.
The noodle fabrication technique involves the injection of a solution of peptide precursor molecules into another solution that facilitates the assembly of individual molecules into nanowires that are collectively aligned within the resulting noodle.
"It's a method of making molecules into macro structures in one simple step," Tovar said. The resulting noodle assemblies are up to a millimeter in diameter and several centimeters long. The next step, said Wall, will be finding ways to mass-produce and automate conductive noodle fabrication and develop them into functional devices.
Funding for this work was provided by a seed grant from Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology, the Department of Energy Office of Basic Energy Sciences, the National Science Foundation and the Maryland State Stem Cell Research Fund. The paper, "Aligned Macroscopic Domains of Optoelectronic Nanostructures Prepared via Shear-Flow Assembly of Peptide Hydrogels," appears online prior to print in the journal Advanced Materials. Diegelmann was a Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship fellow. Additional authors on this research include William Wilson, formerly of the Johns Hopkins Integrated Imaging Center, who used confocal microscopy to explore the unusual electronic properties of the noodle assemblies.

Jimi: Bold as love
Back in our university days, on the first 20 degree day of spring, Sticky Carpet and associates had a tradition of taking the day off, buying a slab of beer and sitting around playing Jimi Hendrix's Cry of Love and Axis: Bold as Love to mark the end of hibernation.
While Jimi was known primarily for his distortion and power, those albums were all about melody and good times. Pete Townshend hit the nail on the head in a tribute in this month's Rolling Stone that placed Hendrix atop a 100 best guitarists poll when he said: "Jimi made it (the guitar) beautiful and made it OK to be beautiful."
The author of a new Hendrix coffee table book, Musician ($65.95,
Backbeat Books), by English writer Keith Shadwick, agrees. "Jimi invented
legato on the guitar because he learnt to control and sustain feedback. He was a
wonderful melodist, and that tends to be obscured by the volumes he played at,
and when you listen to it, that's where the soul came from. And that's what
Townshend is getting at - it's amazingly intense but incredibly beautiful."
Sticky thought Shadwick may be able to answer rock's big question: what would Hendrix sound like if he was alive and playing today?
"He was like a magpie. He had ears big enough to take everything in, so I feel he never would have pigeonholed himself. He would have been like Miles Davis or maybe Dylan, people who were big enough personalities to pool lots of other things in and create something of their own."
Was his burn-out inevitable?
"I interviewed (the Soft Machine's) Kevin Ayres, who knew Hendrix quite well, and he told me he was amazed that Hendrix lasted as long as he did, that he was just too intense and too bright to last any longer. But he was also desperately unlucky. He wasn't in great shape but when you look at all of the rock stars of the time, 90 per cent of them were in terrible shape. He took so many risks in his life but it's like Russian roulette - you only have to get it wrong once."
Beast bassist in hospital
Beasts of Bourbon bassist Brian Hooper is lucky to be alive after falling from a railing at Phillip Island at the weekend. Hooper, who broke his back, was airlifted to the Alfred Hospital. Doctors say his chances of walking again are good. Pat Bourke, from Dallas Crane, will fill in for him with the band at Sydney's Gaelic Club tonight. Aboriginal country music singer Jimmy Little is also in a stable condition after a kidney transplant.
Songs to live by
In his book 31 Songs, English writer Nick Hornby discussed the tunes that changed his life. A documentary series starting on SBS at 7.30pm next Wednesday called Impact: Songs that Changed the World examines songs that have made a lasting impact on "music styles, fashion, mores, culture and our society as a whole", starting out with Chuck Berry's Maybellene.
Tonight, Hoss and Peeping Tom rock Ding Dong; Missy Higgins and the Boat People play Brunswick's Cornish Arms; the Drivers Eyes and Diving Bell are at the Espy; and Even and the Morning After Girls play Fitzroy's Planet Cafe.
Tomorrow, Hugo Race (below) and True Spirit launch The Goldstreet Sessions at the Rob Roy; Riff Random and the Morning After Girls rock Cherry Bar, city; and Forte team up with Monstrous Blues at the Espy's Gershwin Room. Clare Bowditch and the Feeding Set launch their new CD at the Corner Hotel; catch Bias B at Revolver or the Moonee Valley Drifters at the Williamstown RSL.
On Sunday, Paul Williamson Hammond Combo, Joe Camilleri and Sally Ford & the Pachuco Playboys perform as part of Descarga Total at the Arts Centre Lawn Stage.
At the Cornish Arms, Renee Geyer, Ross Wilson and Monique Brumby headline the Oscar Keating Family Fund Benefit; Silver Ray continue their Sunday afternoon residency at the Rob Roy; Horse Stories and Dan Warner and Suzannah Espie (in their debut as a duo) are at the Corner Hotel; while GIT play the "family friendly" Cry Baby Sessions at the Tote from 2pm.
On Wednesday, Sodastream play the Rob Roy, the Genes are at the Cornish Arms on Thursday, and the F--- F---s, the Speed Demons and Gut celebrate the reopening of the Greyhound's band room in St Kilda.

Hero names, names chosen in honor of personal heroes or heroines outside your own family, have been a rising class of names over recent years. They offer strong meaning for parents, powerful role models for their namesakes, plus names more distinctive than the Johns and Marys often found in the family tree. Hero names we see on the rise right now connect to luminaries of the arts, sciences, commerce, and politics both past and present. Some are surnames appropriated as firsts while others are distinctive first names. Here, 12 of the hottest hero and heroine names on the charts:
Bran is the Celtic god of the underworld whose name means "raven," so it follows that Branson means "son of the raven". Branson is one of the fashionable patronymics that carries a suggestion of Virgin Airline founder Richard's adventurous and individualistic spirit.

Brisbane day trips
So I'm off for my first 'off road' day trip in the new GC on Monday, going to do a run up duck creek rd with some friends. Not very challenging, but hopefully there will be some muddy ruts to test.
I thought it would be good to build a list of easy one day offroad trips in the south east with some basic info:
Duck Creek Rd - starting at Kerry Rd, south of Beaudesert and finishing at O-Reileys. Gold coin donation.
Booloumba Creek - Starting at Stoney Creek Rd just west of Woodford, north through Imbil State forest on Jimna-Bellthorpe Rd, then back toward Booloumba Creek, past the Sunday Creek education center and on to Booloumba creek camp ground.
Condamine River Rd - Starting at Spring Creek Rd, 50kms south of Boonah, lots of shallow river crossings, continues through to Warwick. (I haven't done this one yet)
Mt Mee - Starting at Laceys rd just west of Dayboro, up the Range Rd forest drive and Mt Mee forest drive to the camp grounds.
Lockyer National Park - Starting at Krugers rd north of Gatton, west along Redbank Gully rd, then north on 17 mile rd to Ravensbourne national park. Can be closed in wet weather. (Haven't done this one yet)
Teewah beach - East of Gympie, head toward Rainbow Beach, then turn right at Freshwater Rd or 5kms before that is Kings bore rd (sometimes closed off), drive up to the lighthouse, then back down to 1st Beach cutting at Teewah and on the ferry back to Tewantin. Requires a permit.
Bribie Island - Across the bridge and north toward poverty creek and along the northen access track. (I haven't done this one yet)
Feel free to add to the list.....
Re: Brisbane day trips
I drove to Five Dock today, Parramatta Road is a real bitch to navigate.
Re: Brisbane day trips
Five Dock is way too adventurous for me. I tackled the Old Windsor road for a few klms, then ran the roundabouts at Norwest. Really gets the adrenalin pumping.
Re: Brisbane day trips
LOL, Mat and Al have you two actually met each other yet? Can just imagine it after a few beers around the campfire :)

Well went up duck creek rd yesterday, a bit rougher than I was expecting, but no problems. Tried OR2 for bits of it, and heard the rear wheel slipping, then the instrument panel shows the little lock sign on the drivetrain..... cool!
Found a bit of mud off the track and had a bit of a spin through that. Had a look at doing the rock..... looks way too cut up, so gave that a miss.

Re: Brisbane day trips
With those wheels and tyres as well as thr diff it should pretty much go anywhere.
I did a course a couple of weekends ago and was very surprised how well it went without the diff and on the 20in road tyres.
Re: Brisbane day trips
'The rock' track is really dug up, not sure the GC would make the approach, and the exit track had big exposed boulders at the top, there would be some scraping of the underbelly involved breaking over the lip.
Re: Brisbane day trips
Here's the rock a week ago, @ 4:40:
We went up the same section and then another section that was even narrower however my passenger couldnt be bothered walking up.
No way I would have thought it would make it up and i even said to the instructor that I would not have attempted it without him their but the Jeep did it and with 20's on :)

Hawthorne Election Shakes up Commission, Shows Incumbents the Door
Published June 9th, 2009
According to Hawthorne's mayor, the people have spoken.
Shaken by troubles in both police and fire protection, residents decided to hand over the reins to a new, revamped commission. All three incumbents were voted out, according to city officials. TV20's Jordan Smith was in Hawthorne today, and will have a full report tonight.
Mayor Deloris Roberts says these are the final results:
Seat 1
Harry Carter - 184
John Martin - 142
Seat 3
William Carlton - 203
Michael Rutledge - 126
Seat 5

Marie-Christine Caubet
Women are such a rare sight in the auto industry's upper echelons that when Marie-Christine Caubet arrives for meetings with European auto executives, she is sometimes taken for an assistant. Big mistake: Caubet, 51, is the most senior woman in an operating position at a European car company.
And her job as Renault's senior vice-president, responsible for sales in France, is no piece of cake. France accounts for 39% of Renault's (RNSDY ) revenues and an even larger share of profits. What's more, Caubet has had to push an aging model line at a time when rival Peugeot is rolling out hits such as the popular $13,000 Peugeot 307 compact.
The unflappable Caubet, however, seems to relish the challenge. "She combines rigorous management with the ability to motivate a team," says Renault Chairman and CEO Louis Schweitzer. For example, Caubet has pushed her sales group to move the metal by designing creative packages that combine loans, insurance, and other services. Renault now offers buyers of the top-line $23,500 Espace minivan, $26,100 Avantime coupe, and $27,000 Vel Satis premium sedan a benefits package that includes a free replacement vehicle if the car is in the repair shop, plus perks such as help in obtaining hotel rooms and theater tickets. "It's a new way of owning a car," says Caubet.
Thanks to her efforts, Renault's share of its home market has climbed to 28%, from 24% last July. The company hopes to boost its share even more later this year, when it rolls out a new version of its $13,140 Megane.
Caubet comes from a family of hard-driving executives. Her brother, Philippe Bourguignon, headed Euro Disney during the Walt Disney Co. subsidiary's tough early years in France, turning it around before leaving in 1997 to take over the struggling Club Méditerranée. Caubet says she and her siblings were raised to be independent by their father, an agricultural equipment importer who moved the family around to various postings in France and northern Africa.
Caubet doesn't consider herself a "hyperfeminist." But she believes that there should be more women in senior management. "It would be a more balanced work environment," she says. It also makes good business sense. After all, in France today, one out of every three car buyers is a woman.

Charlton Heston? Really?
I have never pictured Jack Aubrey as looking even vaguely like Charlton Heston, but apparently Patrick O'Brian did. I suppose that I might be more open minded about that possibility if I hadn't seen Master and Commander before reading the first Aubrey-Maturin novel; the film obviously has its failings, but in general they concern the Maturin character (which is a completely and utterly different animal in the film than in the books), and the related issue of Aubrey being just a trifle too clever. Physically and in mannerism, though, I thought Crowe captured Aubrey almost perfectly. Even Crowe's performance in Gladiator isn't particularly Heston-esque, and his turn as Jack Aubrey just didn't remind me at all of Heston.

Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are based on the model of the residential college, where faculty support student-to-student engagement in campus housing based on an academic curriculum. Living Learning Community students create and implement their own programs and events focused on the house members, and informal learning opportunities around the house theme under the advisement of their faculty sponsor (who does not live in the house) and with the support of the Office of Residence Life staff. All students and faculty participating in Living Learning Communities self-select into the process.
Participating in a Living-Learning Community provides a unique opportunity for intellectual exploration and community leadership as students create their own learning opportunities around the house theme. Additionally, residing in a 3 person, off-campus house, promotes independence and autonomy as students assume responsibility for more elements of their day-to-day living arrangements.
To apply for membership in an LLC, see the room selection website.

- Review of: Fidelity Investments
- Reviewed by:
- Published on:
- Last Modified:
Fidelity is a full featured discount brokerage service that includes virtually every investment and banking service you need. The mobile app is also one of the best for trading on the go. However, the service is slow to roll out new features.
I have been a Fidelity (formally known as Fidelity Investments) customer for over five years now and thought it's time to give a review for my readers. Fidelity opened its doors in 1946, and it is literally a one-stop shopping for all of your financial services. Fidelity offers a large amount of mutual funds, provides fund distribution, discount brokerage services, retirement services, wealth management, securities execution and clearance, life insurance, investment advice services and a number of other services.
According to Wikipedia, Fidelity serves more than 23 million accounts through its retail investors and institutional investors, with more than 400 different funds, and is the second largest US mutual fund company after The Vanguard Group, with $1.24 trillion of assets under management as of July 2010. This review focuses on the retail investor side of their business since I'm not an institutional investor.
Transferring Accounts
I originally had most of my accounts with E*TRADE (see E*TRADE review), and was a customer of theirs since 1997. While I was not unhappy with their service, I was concerned about their financial viability in 2007.
To start the transfer process I went down to my local Fidelity branch. One of their service representatives was more than happy to help me transfer my accounts. It was a simple process, and within a week all accounts were transferred. I, unfortunately, lost all of the financial history I had with E*TRADE (i.e. dates stocks were bought), but this isn't an issue with Fidelity per se. Fortunately, at the time, I kept all of my financial records within Quicken, and this wasn't a concern of mine. For others though, make sure you record the purchase date of all equities before transferring to Fidelity (or to any other brokerage house for that matter).
Fidelity Investments Features

I picked Fidelity over the many other discount brokerage houses because:
- The $4.95 per trade for all equity trades.
- The 85 commission free ETFs.
- A broad range of investment choices, including stocks, ETFs, bonds, and options, more than 4,700 Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds.
- The Fidelity Investment Rewards Visa Card. I'm able to deposit my cash back rewards directly into a brokerage account.
Fidelity has all of the major features the other investment houses offer. I'm only going to highlight the features unique to Fidelity.
Fidelity Full View®
Fidelity Active Trader Pro™
Active Trader Pro is available for both Mac and Windows. Once installed, the application offers many of the features an active trader would want:
- Real-time streaming market data
- Advanced charting
- Real-time profit and loss estimates from hypothetical selling
- One-click trading
For more information on the technical and financial requirements visit Fidelity's web site.
Fidelity Mobile App for Apple iPad
Stay connected to the markets while on the go. The Apple iPad app is perfect to use with your Fidelity account. I've used the iPhone app before and did not consider it that useful for other than a quick glance at my portfolio. The iPad version offers more functionality and uses the larger screen effectively. The app has features such as:
- Real-time market quotes for logged in customers. All other investors receive 15-minute delayed quotes.
- Up to the minute news stories
- Top stock % gainers, top % losers and most actives
- Monitor your money: positions, balances, and intraday changes
- Trade stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, and options all from your iPad!
- View account history
- Compare stocks within their chart view

- Cheap Trades - Great pricing on trades, and free trades on select ETFs. The free trades are great when you are dollar cost averaging.

- Credit Options Plus Cashback - If you own a Fidelity Visa credit card your cash back is directly deposited into an account.
- Lacks Functionality - If you are an active trader (I am not), their Active Trader Pro platform may not be best suited for you.
- High Margin Rates - While they state their margin rates are low (their lowest is 3.75%), other brokerage houses like Interactive Brokers have much lower rates (0.95% APY)
- Vanguard Funds Charge Fee - Vanguard purchases are charged at their regular commission rates
In the five years I've been a customer, I've had to contact their customer service line a few times. Every time I've called I've gotten quick responses and was able to resolve my issues quickly. Here is my summary of what I think of Fidelity:
The last issue isn't a Fidelity issue as all other brokerage houses charge a commission when purchasing Vanguard funds. For the most part, the only way around this is opening an account directly with Vanguard. Bottom line with Fidelity, it's hard to find a brokerage house that offers all of the features, decent customer service, and a great price.

Video: Photos of Mammatus Clouds
Posted on May 15, 2011Accuweather shared this great photographs of mammatus clouds taken by its Facebook fans. The clouds are also known as mammatocumulus clouds. The name comes from the Latin word "mamma," which means breast or udder. The Wikipedia entry for Mammatus clouds also has another gallery of photographs. NOAA says Mammatus clouds most often "are seen hanging from the anvil of a severe thunderstorm, but do not produce severe weather."
The clouds do not mean a tornado is about the form as they are usually only seen after the most damaging part of a thunderstorm has passed. Take a look:

Where New-Wave Manufacturing Is Headed
Carl Bass of Autodesk on How 3-D Printing Will Move Far Beyond Prototypes
Many people have now heard about 3-D printing. Carl Bass has been tracking it for 25 years.
As chief executive of Autodesk Inc., a maker of design software for companies in manufacturing, construction, and media and entertainment, Mr. Bass pays close attention to manufacturing technology. So he waited eagerly during the long gestation of 3-D printing, which builds objects by depositing layers of plastic or other materials.
His company operates a workshop on San Francisco's waterfront where 150 engineers and artists experiment with 3-D printers, milling machines and other tools. In May, Mr. Bass announced plans for Autodesk to sell its own printer—its first-ever hardware product—and related software.
Journal Report
- Insights from The Experts
- Read more at WSJ.com/LeadershipReport
More in Unleashing Innovation: Manufacturing
The Wall Street Journal recently spoke with Mr. Bass about 3-D printing and other trends in manufacturing, including the emergence of new companies and ad hoc gatherings called meetups that entrepreneurs and hardware hobbyists organize on the site Meetup.com to trade ideas. Here are edited excerpts of the conversation.
The Role of 3-D
WSJ: How do you view 3-D printing?
MR. BASS: I think there's been a huge amount of press—and probably an excessive amount of press—around the idea of consumer home 3-D printers.
I think equally true is people have underappreciated the value of industrial 3-D printing. Over time, it's going to become a much more substantial tool for production manufacturing.
WSJ: In what ways?
Related Video
MR. BASS: Right now, 3-D printing is widely used for prototyping: I'm making a valve. I'm making a new phone. I drew it up in the computer, and now I just want to hold one in my hands.
Next is where you start seeing things move into low-volume, high-value applications. Things like a hearing aid. It's important that it fits my ear.
WSJ: Something customizable.
MR. BASS: Right. The third one is more mainstream, things like braces [for teeth].
Those are 3-D printed products that are just starting to cross into more of a mass market. But I don't think there's been any breakout 3-D printed product yet.
Part of it is, if it's not customizable, when you reach a certain threshold in terms of the number of units you're going to sell, there are more efficient ways to make it today. If I'm going to make 10 plastic parts, printing is a great idea. If I'm going to make a million, I'm going to build a mold and injection-mold it.
One place where people are doing really interesting new work is they are doing the 3-D printing of metal along with CNC [computer numerical control] milling. They print a quarter of an inch and then they mill it [remove material as needed to meet the product specifications], and then they do that repeatedly.
WSJ: It's one machine that's designed to do both?
MR. BASS: Yes. What you get is the efficiency of only putting down as much material as you want, while adding the precision of subtractive technology, which has been perfected over decades.
I've also seen companies that are doing printing of carbon-fiber parts. So you can get incredibly strong and lightweight parts.
WSJ: Things like heart valves seem likely.
MR. BASS: Hip replacements, knee replacements. When you talk about mass customization of medical things, it makes a huge amount of sense.
Startup Culture
WSJ: Talk a little about startups in manufacturing.
MR. BASS: You see the ability for very small companies to compete in ways that were never imaginable before.
I'll tell you about one company called Cambrian Genomics. They built a machine that 3-D prints DNA.
So if you were a scientist working in a lab and needed DNA to do your experiments, you would send them a text file with the description of the base pairs, and you would send them this description and they would send you back a vial. This is real biological printing.
This company has less than 12 employees, and has done it on raising a single-digit number of millions of dollars.
Another example is Quirky, this New York City-based company that crowdsources design.
If someone has an idea, they take it to a certain point, and then the community gets involved in designing the rest, naming it, choosing colors, helping to set the price, and then it's brought to market. One Quirky product was brought to market by General Electric.
WSJ: What other interesting examples do you see?
MR. BASS: One place to look is at these hardware meetups, literally hundreds of people getting together in all parts of the world. And every product is being reimagined.
Willing to Share
WSJ: What do people do at these events?
MR. BASS: People are fascinated with what are you making, how are you making it, what tools you're using, have you raised money? How are you going to bring it to market?
There's been a long culture of software startups or Web startups. Hardware has a different set of challenges. The worst day for a hardware startup is when some big company says, "I want you to make 10,000 of these for me," and you don't have the cash flow to support it and maybe you can take a bet on it, but if it doesn't pan out you might be out of business.
So I think there's a whole different set of problems that are common, and it's so new that people are willing to share.
WSJ: Many hardware startups are using crowdfunding.
MR. BASS: I have funded too many Kickstarter projects for sure.
With Kickstarter and these other crowdfunded places, a contributor is saying I want this thing to exist in the world. It's no different than when you come out of the subway and someone's playing music and you give them a couple dollars.
WSJ: How many would you say you've put money into?
MR. BASS: I'd say two dozen.
There's film projects. I've done a 3-D printer, a CNC machine, plants that glow in the dark, genetically engineered. I've done some stuff for building tool sets for rural economies. But it's not like a huge financial investment.

One of the biggest obstacles to feeling happier that people often point to is that they just don't feel happy. It either happens or it doesn't, sort of like the weather. That's what we tend to think, anyway. It's not clear how happiness started to be seen this way, as somehow out of our personal control, but what is clear is that science continues to prove this belief wrong. There really are small and easy ways we can increase our own happiness. And while most people can see the wisdom in things like "do something nice for yourself" or "develop a gratitude habit" most people resist the idea of what I often call Faking It 'Til You Make It--physical changes proven to bring about happier emotions. They may seem counterintuitive actions to take when you're feeling down, but they really work.

Smile! Sure, you feel like a phony if you smile when you're unhappy, but if you look at the research and see that forming a smile--genuine or not--actually boosts your feelings of well-being over time, maybe you'll feel differently. It's not just that happiness makes you smile, it's also that smiling can make you happier. People who've gotten Botox injections (to get that nice smooth, youthful look) are scientifically proven to be happier overall -- maybe in part because they can't frown like their non-Botoxed counterparts. Again, emotions create facial expressions, but it works the other way around, too. Once you realize that "turning that frown upside down" isn't just a platitude, it may inspire you to give it a try.

Straighten up. Just as our emotions come through in our facial expressions, our bodies also tend to reflect our mental state. We describe people as "downtrodden" or "carrying the weight of the world" because negative feelings affect our posture. Sadness and stress bring slumped shoulders, downcast gaze, and a tendency to make ourselves smaller overall. Research into how posture affects our emotions is pretty clear: simply sitting up or standing up straighter, with an elongated spine, more open chest position, and a raised gaze has mood-brightening results. Now that we're all spending significant portions of our day hunched over computers and smartphones, depression is on the rise. Sure, some of it may be due to more complicated factors such as replacing real-time human contact with electronic substitutes, but our bad posture alone is partially responsible for our shift in mood. If you want to feel happier, let your spine lead the way! Carry yourself straight and tall, and you'll not only look better, you'll feel better.

Just breathe. Did you know that we actually breathe differently depending on our mood? It may sound kind of woo-woo, but it's not. You already know that the way you breathe when you're stressed and panicked is different from the way you breathe when you're calm and relaxed. Well, it turns out that there's such a thing as typical happy breathing. What's more, just as you can flip around smiling and great posture to produce happier feelings, the same can be done with the way you breathe. A 2010 study showed emotional states can be created by breathing patterns, and the great news is that it's not complicated and it doesn't require incense or a gong or anything. Feeling down? Check your breathing. Deep, slow breaths--the kind that you can feel in your abdomen, rather than the kind that raise your chest--are the way to create feelings of calm and well-being. Breathe like you're already feeling good, and soon enough, you will.

The best thing about these simple ways to boost your happiness is that all of them can be done quickly and easily and you can feel their positive effects almost instantly. You can always take a deep breath, stand a little taller, or try on a smile. The more you fake it 'til you make it, the more natural it will begin to feel. And pretty soon, you'll be happier, which means you won't be faking it anymore. Pretty awesome.

Spectra Energy and Superior Propane have been selected as exemplar clients for the Alternative Safety Approaches (ASA) Program. Both companies will work with an assigned BCSA liaison in developing and submitting a Safety Management Plan. If the plan is accepted, the client may then operate its facility under the plan.
The BCSA selection team found that the two companies' proposals scored significantly higher on the criteria outlined in the Client Exemplar Process document. The criteria includes:
- Project is sufficiently advanced in design and/or construction to engage in meaningful development of a Safety Management Plan. While completed projects will be considered, preference will be given to impending or in progress new projects and/or new technology;
- Workforce involvement in the development of the Safety Management Plan;
- A willingness to be transparent in practices and exchange of information;
- Demonstrated ability to implement a Safety Management Plan;
- A commitment to invest time and resources to the exemplar process; and
- Proponent's agreement to work in conjunction with their industry trade association during the development of the Safety Management Plan to facilitate information transfer in their industry.
The external client exemplar process was initially limited to new bioenergy projects. However, the proposed projects from this sector were not advanced enough to achieve the objectives of the exemplar process in a timely manner. Thus, the process was opened to a larger client base.
On the two selected clients, BCSA noted the following advantages:
- Equipment and work processes are in service and will enable timely completion of the process.
- Two different market sectors are represented.
- Strong management systems are in place and capable of implementing a safety management system approach.
- For several years, Superior Propane, a leading propane supplier, has been seeking to manage its propane installations using a safety management plan to ensure safe operation and full regulatory compliance.
- Spectra Energy's proposal involves a currently classified third class plant with significant automation features built into the original design. The proposal seeks exemptions from sections of prescriptive regulations on supervision and inspection requirements for regulated pressure equipment.
For any inquiries regarding the ASA, please email email@example.com.

Summer is officially over, and, yes, winter is coming! Which means NOW is the time to get outside, enjoy the cooler temperatures and burn some major calories!
We asked Jim White, American College of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer, and exercise physiologist Tom Holland, author of Beat the Gym: Personal Trainer Secrets--Without the Personal Trainer Price Tag, to give us their top ideas for getting your butt in gear in the great outdoors this fall. And yes, roller skating is on the list!
1. Stadium stairs -
"Get over to your local football field and enjoy the amazing fall weather while blasting over 200 calories in 15 minutes of running up and down the stairs," says Holland. "Great for leg and butt toning, too!"
2. Outdoor kettlebell classes – "Blast calories fast with the simple cannonball with a handle," says Holland, adding that kettlebell classes usually last around 60 minutes. "The harder you work, the more calories you will burn!"
3. Outdoor CrossFit/Strongman workouts – Holland says, "You'll flip tires, pick up stones and sprint until your body says no more!" Since these classes involve some extremely challenging moves, Holland recommends being sure to take a class with a qualified instructor.
4. Trail fun run – "Mix simple strength moves into your trail run to add strength and toning moves to your cardio," says Holland. "Run until you come to a bench, then do a round of step-ups. Fallen log? Jump up and down on it for one minute." Holland says you can do walking lunges after a few more minutes of running, bench dips on the next bench, etc. Mix it up! 200 calories burned in 20 minutes.
5. Roller skating! - Ah, memories of junior high! According to White, roller skating is a great outdoor activity to obliterate unwanted pounds. "It's less jarring and easier on the knees and joints than running, but has all the cardiovascular benefits," he says. "A 30-minute glide through the neighborhood can burn 250 calories."
6. Obstacle course – "Design your own personal 'Spartan Race' — an obstacle course in your backyard or local park," says Holland. Use whatever equipment you have to make a fun and challenging circuit: medicine balls, kettlebells, water bottles for cones for sprints, boxes to jump over, etc. Holland says you can burn 200 calories in 20 minutes!
7. Stand-up paddleboarding – Holland says this is a great way to get your last summer fix on the water! Check out SELF's how-to here. Speaking of the water…
8. Kayaking – It's still warm enough to do a little kayaking. White says paddling for an hour is a great upper-body workout that can burn 350 calories. Not sure how to get started? Check out SELF's Beginner's Guide to Outdoor Sports!
9. Hiking – Seriously, is there any better, more beautiful time of the year to be out in nature? "If the mountains are not at your disposal, there are plenty of beautiful state parks around the country touting trails of all levels," says White, adding that in just 30 minutes, hiking can burn 200-plus calories! "The more rugged and hilly the terrain, the more calories burned," he adds.
10. Cycling – "Depending on speed and surface, biking for an hour can burn up to a whopping 800 calories," says White. (Woah!) "Biking is a great cardiovascular workout, not to mention a great way to tone the quads and calves," he says. "Ride a bike to work and you can burn a leisurely 250 calories in 30 minutes; take your bike off road and increase the burn to 400 calories in that same 30 minutes!"
Is the weekend here yet? We're ready to get outside!

In writing this post I have realised how rarely we feature sculptors here. We're always banging on about amazing painters, but the poor old sculptors never get a look in! Aww sorry guys! Major oversight. We're taking one small step to rectifying that today, with a look at the incredible work of Sydney based Dion Horstmans!
Working primarily in powder coated steel, timber, plywood and sheet metal, Dion creates abstract geometric forms which play with line, volume, light and shade. His work has been said to reference architectural forms, celestial constellations, spacecrafts and bolts of lightening! I'm totally in love with his powdercoated steel pieces, which seem at once rigid yet strangely delicate. Wallmounted seamlessly, these striking, angular shapes lend themselves so well to interior spaces – and throw the most amazing shadows!
Before pursuing his sculpture seriously, Dion spent 12 years working in the art department in the film industry. 'I worked on every big film production that came into town for 12 years, but after Superman I'd had enough' says Dion. After that, Dion gradually phased out the film work, concentrating more and more on his sculpture. He was picked up by Flinders Lane Gallery in Melbourne in 2009, and was included in Sydney's famous Sculpture by the Sea in Bondi in 2011.
There is a super excellent little film about Dion here which I highly recommend! It's only 3 mins long, and well worth a look for an entertaining and slightly more personal insight into this distinctive Sydney character!
Melbourne readers – if you're keen to see Dion's work in person, he has an incredible show entitled Voltage on at Flinders Lane Gallery this month, but it's only on until the end of TOMORROW! All info is here – get your skates on! He also has another exhibition entitled Night Rider opening next week in Sydney – all details below.
We are also SUPER chuffed to let you know that we'll be including a small number of Dion's amazing steel sculptures at The Design Files Open House in a few months time…! SO PUMPED about that. More to be revealed very soon!
Night Rider by Dion Hortsmans
Open 18 to 22 September 2013
Gallery 2010
69 Reservoir St
Surry Hills, NSW
Tell us a little about your background – what path led you to becoming a sculptural artist, and to creating the style of work you are currently making?
I was born in New Zealand, my father is from Nuie, so I grew up between New Zealand and the Cook Islands. The graphics of the tribal motifs really resonated with me, being bold with strong lines, along with the palette of black and white, with splashes of red.
I've drawn since I could hold a pencil. I started working three-dimensionally 17 years ago, after being introduced to the medium by my mate Aaron Crothers. My practice has since morphed from these organic lumpy roly-poly figures to where I'm at presently. Initially through necessity, the cost of bronze casting was crippling, so I started drawing from the imagery that had surrounded me as a child – graphic planes and lines, creating at first geometric panels drawn from tapa, stripping it back to where I am now, lineal geometric spaces.

How would you describe your work?
I'd use the words fast, strong, dynamic, spacial, dimensional. Did I mention fast?!
What can we expect to see in your new exhibition 'Night Rider' at Gallery 2010 in Sydney?
I've tried to explore this idea I have using planes that include volume, area, and folded metal. I have incorporated lineal works with sheet metal and some drawing, and have continued to explore multi faceted works, which I've been playing with a lot lately.
Can you give us a little insight into your design process – what materials do you use? Is each work pre-planned or created very intuitively? Do you work on multiple pieces at one time? And how long does each work take to complete?
I continue to move backwards and forwards with shadows and lines, firstly working one-dimensionally until I feel comfortable to move into and work in the sculptural three-dimensional space. I don't have a master plan when creating a new work, I have an intuitive understanding of space and volume so I let this guide me through the process. I know what's working and know what's not.
I use solid steel round bar for the smaller works. The gauge will vary depending on the size and scale of the of the work, but generally I use a combination of steel tube, cardboard to mock up areas, bb plywood, and sheet metal.
Depending on the size of the work, I might create a large work over a few days or a bunch of smaller works in a day. I'll then come back to them and clean them up. Although that said, I'll have several pieces going on at once over both workshops. I work very quickly, ideas happen in a nano second, but realising the idea is the nature of the work!
'Blue', 2012 by Dion Horstmans
What does a typical day at work involve for you?
Wake up at 5.00 – 5.30am, go to my studio, cast some shadows, then have breakfast with my partner and two daughters, and back to the studio via the coffee shop. Then I'll look at the shadows and work out how I'm going to put it together. Leather apron then goes on and I'll set up the studio for the day ahead.
I'll start hot burning, where metal generally flies around, it's noisy and hot, the welder flashes, metal melts – it's an assault on your senses, noise, heat, burning skin and hair. I love it. Then it's lunch and back to my studio where I tend to finish work for the day around 5.30 – 6.00pm, following this I will hit the gym or go for a run.
Dion in the workshop. Photo – Phu Tang.
Can you list for us your top resources across any media that you turn to regularly for creative inspiration?
The net is pretty good, I use Pinterest, I read, I look at art books and magazines, I love movies, I talk to people, and listen to FBi, a local Sydney radio station.
Which other local artists, designers or creative people are you most inspired by at the moment?
I'd love to drop a bunch of names of people I find inspiring, but to be honest I don't know all of their names. I see their work in magazines or online and absorb them. I look at a lot of tribal and ethnographic art, I'm drawn to the bold lines and the graphics. I look at street art and buildings, I draw from nature, it's weird nature repeats itself, it's perfectly flawed.
What is your proudest career achievement to date?
Hard to say, I was pretty stoked when Claire at Flinders Lane Gallery asked me to be a part of a group show in 2009. I was also pretty stoked to get into Sculpture by the Sea in Bondi, and be a part of a show at The Cat Street Gallery in Hong Kong earlier this year, it felt like the world was opening up. This year has been my best year to date, with bigger and more exciting commissions and international shows!
What are you looking forward to?
A cold beer, a hot shower and bed. Getting up tomorrow morning and starting on a new body of work.
Details from Dion's studio. Photo – Phu Tang.
Your favourite Sydney neighbourhood and why?
I'd have to say Bondi. I've lived on the northern beaches, I've lived in the inner eastern suburbs but Bondi is an ocean beach. It's wild, it's calm, in summer it pumps, in the winter it reverts to the village, it's diverse in culture. I can run on the beach, and I can swim the bay!
What and where was the last great meal you ate in Sydney?
The last good meal I had would have to have been at home, I had a molar pulled out of my mouth last Wednesday so I've been eating really soft foods since. I think Gracie and I prepared baked sweet potatoes, a green leaf salad with dry roasted pumpkin seeds and goats feta, Grace had barramundi and I had a barbecued medium rare beef cutlet. Yum.
Where would we find you on a typical Saturday morning?
I usually wake up at 5.30am, then take a swim at the south end of the beach, followed by a coffee at the organic café on Gould Street and a visit to my studio, where I either clean up after the week or work on a sculpture.
Sydney's best kept secret?
Not telling, it wouldn't be 'Sydney's best kept' if I told you! In truth I've been thinking about this one for the last ten days, I'm sure I know lots of little Sydney treasures, it's just hard to put my finger on one.

Joe Hart insists there will be no sense of inferiority in the Manchester City camp on Sunday even though it is 37 years since they last beat Arsenal away from home in the league.
Although the Blues knocked Arsene Wenger's men out of the Carling Cup at the Emirates last season, Tony Book was in charge the last time they tasted a top-flight victory.
But Hart does not feel the sorry statistic is anything to worry about.
"These records are made to be broken," he told Talksport. "We feel strongly that we can turn up anywhere and win.
"It has not happened at the Emirates. But it is not a case of us turning up and thinking we are going to lose.
"It is a great pitch, great atmosphere and it feels like you can go and express yourself. Hopefully that will be the case on Sunday."
City know they will be 10 points behind at kick-off if Manchester United defeat Liverpool earlier in the day, a legacy of some scrappy form which has seen them drop more points than anticipated at this stage of the campaign.
"It has been frustrating for us," he said. "We know what we are capable of but there have been occasions when a couple of us have not played great. Last year, two or three would play brilliantly and that would be enough for us to win the game.
"It has been difficult. We are fighting through it and are still feeling positive."

Proving that she's definitely all grown up, Kendall Jenner shared a new social snapshot revealing major skin on Thursday (May 15).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" gal enjoyed her time at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and during a break, she posted a photo revealing a peak of side boob.
In addition to the picture, Kendall wrote, "a little side boob never hurt nobody."
Later on that evening, the 18-year-old shared a bathroom shot and quoted her soon-to-be-brother-in-law Kanye West, writing, "Baby, we should hit the south of France. So you could run around without them pants."

The African American Leadership Initiative is open to anyone, but particularly to full-time African American seminary students demonstrating leadership potential who are pursuing an MDIV or MA degree. Through multiple platforms members of AALI will learn how to apply the Gospel to the unique challenges and circumstances of ministry in a multi-ethnic, urban setting.
The African American Leadership Initiative has two goals: 1) to recruit more African Americans to RTS Jackson and 2) to equip students of any race for ministry in African American, multiethnic, or urban contexts. We accomplish these goals through four platforms: 1) Mentoring, 2) Modeling, 3) Fellowship, and 4) Scholarship. These platforms are especially encouraged for those on scholarship and are open to the whole seminary community.
MentoringOne of the richest aspects of AALI comes in the form of access to accomplished professionals who are engaged in ministries in a multi-ethnic, African American, urban, or at-risk context. Once a semester, Elbert McGowan of Redeemer Church, Mac McCarty of County Line Missionary Baptist Church, Neddie Winters of Mission Mississippi and Voice of Calvary, Ronnie Crudup of New Horizon Church, or Wy Plummer of the PCA's African American Ministries will host on-campus lunches to discuss contextualization of your seminary education and Gospel ministry. Additionally, each semester one of our mentors will host a 3-hour seminar that will allow for a more in-depth discussion of an aspect of ministry.
ModelingInstead of simply hearing about all the work that could be done in multi-ethnic, urban, and African American ministry, participants in AALI will witness firsthand the work that is happening in the city. They will gain exposure to several organizations, churches, and ministries which are faithfully preaching the Gospel and that are doing work specifically geared toward addressing issues of race and poverty in an urban context. Each semester AALI will attend one ministry event as a group hosted by one of our mentors and then meet with the mentor after the event to discuss the experience.
FellowshipMembers of AALI will gain opportunities, both formal and informal, to meet, interact, and forge relationships with fellow Initiative members on campus, Reformed African Americans in the community, and others who are interested in ministry in urban and multi-ethnic settings. Fellowship opportunities include lunches together on campus, attending conferences, and other activities.
Scholarship African American students who demonstrate a heart for ministry in African American, multi-ethnic, or urban contexts may apply for the 50% AALI Scholarship. Normal Financial Aid Application and Policies apply.
Whether you're a prospective student, current student, alumnus, donor, or friend of RTS, we would love to hear from you.

Mon. January 2, 2012 | John C. Cotey | Email
ORLANDO — Mario Edwards Jr., the consensus No. 1 recruit in the country, told reporters Monday afternoon that Texas is No. 1 on his list of suitors.
What does that mean? Florida State fans are hoping nothing.
Edwards Jr., of Denton, Texas, has orally committed to FSU. Rather, make that has tenuously committed to the Seminoles as the 6-foot-4, 270-pound defensive end continues to confound as he seeks the perfect fit.
"Because I visited Texas, Texas would be tops,'' said Edwards after Monday's Under Armour All-Star Game practice at the Disney Sports Complex. "Then LSU (second), FSU (third).''
Despite looking around since September, Edwards Jr. had stated that FSU, where his father was a cornerback, was still his No. 1. Until Monday.
There was also a brief flirtation with Oklahoma, where it was even reported that he was "leaning" toward the Sooners. Now Texas is on top, after a visit that apparently went much better than his trip to Norman.
Edwards Jr. will visit FSU and LSU in the two weeks following Thursday's Under Armour game at Tropicana Field.
Good day, Dante: Lakewood's Dante Fowler Jr., playing for Team Blur, was impressive during drills, teaming with fellow FSU commitments Edwards Jr. and Chris Casher to dominate action in the one-on-ones.
"This was my best practice so far," said Fowler, wearing the same No. 6 he wore as a Spartan. "I'm still trying to play through this sprained ankle, but it was good."
All three showed great quickness off the line, and Edwards Jr. was clearly the most powerful.
During one sequence, he head faked offensive lineman and LSU commit Vadal Alexander and got around him untouched. Alexander was then told by coaches not to look at Edwards Jr.'s head, just his number, and to get back in there. The very next play, the head fake didn't work, so Edwards Jr. just powered through the 300-pounder from Georgia.
Casher, who transferred high schools last season in Alabama and as a result was not allowed to play during the fall, was also dominant at times.
"We all like to go out there and compete," Fowler said. "It's just fun. We were having a competition to see who could go out and beat the tackles the most."
Day to day for Agholor: There's still no word from Berkeley Prep star Nelson Agholor on whether he will play Thursday for Team Highlights.
Agholor has a nagging shoulder injury and watched practice in sweats. It is unlikely he will practice this week and will be a game-time decision.
Going out in style: While most of the talk this week is about college and the impact the players will have on the next level, Thursday's game will be the last one for a while for Blur quarterback Tanner Mangum.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder from Eagle, Idaho, is headed to Brigham Young, but not until 2014 when he completes a two-year mission.
Mangum won't find out where or what his mission will entail until the spring, but he's looking forward to it.
"It's a decision I made at an early, early age so I've known for a long time," said Mangum, one of the best prep players Idaho has ever produced. "It'll be nice to focus on something else and not be solely focused on football. It is a little different compared to others. But it's just a way of life for me."
According to an ESPN.com story, his father and one of his older brothers both served missions, and another brother is currently serving one in Texas.
Mangum was unknown nationally in the spring (he committed to BYU in April) but a series of strong showings at quarterback camps like the Elite 11 helped him become the first player from Idaho to earn an Under Armour invitation.
Lauded for a high football IQ, quick release and strong arm, Mangum completed 265 of 392 passes last season for 3,879 yards and 35 touchdowns.
"It's definitely a step up here," Mangum said. "The speed, the size and quickness. But I like that. It's a challenge for me, and it's helping me get better. At the same time, Idaho does have some talent. I'm proud to be from that state."
Mangum says he couldn't pick any better way to go out — albeit for just a few years — as a prep standout.
"I'm not really thinking about that too much at all," he said. "I know I have more football ahead. I'm not too emotional. I'm just trying to have fun and soak up this atmosphere This is awesome."
