I posted this in the Workflow forum, but thought it might have some relevance here:Does anyone have any experience with RAW Developer - a raw converter designed especially for the Mac.It has some quite interesting sharpening tools, one of which uses the R-L Deconvolution method (and no, I don't really know what that means!), which was apparently originally developed for correcting images from the Hubble telescope. I have read that it is particularly suitable for removing the effects of an AA filter in a DSLR.As I have ordered a D800, and not the "e" version, I was wondering if this might be a route to take to "claim back" some of the sharpness "lost" by the blurring effect of an AA filter? Assuming of course that RAW Developer will eventually support the D800.Anybody have any thoughts?Thanks,Chris

How can I stop my puppy from urinating when she gets excited?
The problem of submissive urination is a combination of a physical condition and a behavioral one. The physical component is a lack of tone in the sphincter of her bladder that holds the urine in. It's more common in females due to the shortness of their urethra (the connection between their bladder and the outside). This may improve with age.
The behavioral factor is a contraction of the muscles that empty the bladder when she is placed in a very submissive situation or is very excited. She is probably naturally submissive, which makes these experiences stronger stimulants to her.
There is little we can do about the physical part. There are medications which can increase the tone, but I would not recommend them for a puppy. The best control is dealing with the behavioral aspect. Maturity will lessen her submissiveness, but you must work to ensure she becomes more confident in herself.
Avoid situations where the urination occurs. When you come home, instead of greeting her at the door and making a big deal about the reunion, try to diffuse the situation by ignoring her. Just walk right by her, and let her outside before you acknowledge her. Eventually, she will learn not to become too excited about your returns.
Other situations can be dealt with the same way. When strangers approach her, give her a treat or get her attention some other way to diffuse the excitement or threat of the approach. Consult with your veterinarian on this topic as well.

Designer: Carol Catalano
For a slip of a woman, Carol Catalano's life is writ large. She founded Catalano Design in 1987 and since has produced award-winning work for a variety of clients in a range of industries, from professional knives to car and home electronics to the Capelli stool (pictured above) for Herman Miller, which won silver in both The International Furniture Design Competition Asahikawa in 1999 in Japan and the IDEA award in 2002. While she loves learning about the industries she designs for, "now the first thing I think about in any project is how I can simplify and enrich people's lives."
Her own life may not be simple, but it is certainly rich and active. She windsurfs and skate-skis (who knew?), and practices lyengar yoga. She loves cooking and good food and is about to send her 18-year-old twins off to college in the fall.
Here are 7 questions for Carol Catalano:
1. What are you working on right now?
I just finished a line of knives for people with arthritis. The knives are manufactured in Massachusetts by Dexter Russell. Before starting the design process we conducted extensive research with arthritis sufferers, which helped us really understand their needs. Currently I am working on a display for Zildjian, the cymbal manufacturer, a metronome for D'Addario and a chair for Geiger International.
I've also been collaborating with my husband, who is an architect, on a LEED for Homes addition to our house on Cape Cod. This has involved lots of research on sustainable technologies, processes, and materials. The project will include passive solar, photovoltaic panels for electricity, a solar hot water collector, a rainwater collection system for irrigation, and eventually a vertical axis wind turbine that will mount on our roof.
2. Which of your products are you most proud of?
I am very proud of the Capelli stool for Herman Miller. It came about during a time when I was working on a long, tedious, engineering focused project. By contrast the Capelli stool provided an outlet where I could focus on something creative and much more free of constraints.
3. What inspires you? Where do you go for inspiration?
For me, inspiration comes when I can be completely in the moment, and I'm able to let everything else go. For instance, I am an avid windsurfer, which can require complete concentration, and frequently this is when ideas for projects that I am working on will come to me. Observing the way nature solves problems is another source of inspiration that I draw on. I love exploring new processes and materials, and experimenting with ideas that grow from that exposure. I'm always looking for ways to cross-pollinate ideas from one industry to another.
4. What work do you most admire by another designer or artist?
I am fascinated with the work of sculptor Anish Kapoor. His experimentation with surface tension and positive and negative space forces me to think differently about our three-dimensional world. I especially enjoyed his installation "Memory" at the Guggenheim in NYC.
5. What would be your dream projects?
My dream project would involve designing a product or system that supports and improves one's health and well being, makes true advances in sustainability, is beautiful to look at and be around, and is something people would want in their lives.
6. What place in the world would you most like to visit?
Rapa Nui (one of the Easter Islands). Basically, I am interested in traveling anywhere that I can experience indigenous culture and food.
7. What one thing do you want to accomplish before you die?
To have a farm by the ocean where I could grow vegetables and raise chickens, cows and pigs. The farm would have a brick oven for making bread and pizza and a cheese cave where I could make and age my own cheese. Most importantly, it would be a place where people would gather to talk, design, share, and connect with others all while eating delicious local food.

In volatile and uncertain environments, managers must encourage and enable the spurts of participatory innovation that lead to emergent processes and solutions.
Research has repeatedly demonstrated that managers contribute to a company's bottom line by enabling the emergence of work processes in constantly changing situations. But managers have received insufficient guidance about what exactly they should be doing to manage these emergent processes. The authors contend that managers must actively facilitate the confluence of participatory "spurts" of innovation.
By examining the methods of companies such as Novell, IDS Scheer AG and Entergy, the authors identify four methods successful managers employ to address an emergent environment. First, these managers structure the work so that information, assumptions and interpretations are continually being challenged. Second, they accept that changing circumstance will continually require new knowledge and skill sets. Third, they understand that emergent processes involve unpredictable inputs from suppliers, employees, customers and other stakeholders. Lastly, they understand that they alone cannot induce participatory innovation, so they have learned to create or identify existing "reputation networks."
Managers who have mastered these principles help their organizations to react so quickly to unpredictable events that the reactions often appear to have been planned and preemptive.

NAOMI IN COURT: Naomi Campbell is no stranger to court appearances, but according to British press reports she seems to be losing her appetite for litigation. London's Evening Standard said Monday that Campbell has discontinued her latest court case in London, in which she accused her former personal assistant, Vanessa Frisbee, of selling a story about her to the News of the World tabloid in 2000. According to the reports, officials at London's High Court ordered Campbell to pay 90 percent of Frisbee's legal costs after she abandoned the case, in addition to the costs she will pay to her own legal team. The case is the latest twist in Campbell's mixed history with the British legal system. In 2004, she won a case against London's Daily Mirror, after the High Court ruled the tabloid invaded her privacy by publishing pictures of her attending Narcotics Anonymous. In 2008, she was ordered to perform community service after pleading guilty to six offenses — including assaulting a police officer — on a British Airways flight at London's Heathrow Airport earlier that year.

Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker
Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart.
A hundred hearts would be too few
To carry all my love for you.
In melody divine,
My heart it beats to rapturous love,
I long to call you mine.
Valentine hearts beat more passionately than everyday hearts.
Poetry spills from the cracks of a broken heart, but flows from one which is loved.

Unwanted Guns Have a Right To Life
Tuesday, April 30th, 2013At least according to Arizona's Republican legislators and Governor Jan Brewer.
It works this way: If you have guns you can no longer provide a loving home for and sell them to a cooperating law enforcement agency that agency must re-assign them to a good home. What cannot happen (Oh, the horror!) is that they be destroyed.
Nothing, if not consistent, this is the extension of the conservative position on another right to life issue.Will NRA legislators now introduce legislation to make it illegal for a gun owner to destroy his own gun?
Good Grief!

Foxconn Technology Group is having trouble keeping up with the massive demand for Apple's new iPhone 5, according to published reports.
"It's not easy to make the iPhones. We are falling short of meeting the huge demand," Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou told reporters Wednesday after a business forum in Taipei, according to a Reuters story.
"We can't really fulfill Apple's requests. Our shipments are insufficient … given the huge market demand," Gou added, according to another report from AFP.
[Related: iPhone 5 Frenzy: 10 Scenes From The Boston Launch]
Apple launched the iPhone 5 on Sept. 12. The Cupertino, Calif., company hasn't disclosed how many iPhone 5 units have been sold, but reports put that number at 5 million sold during the launch weekend. Analyst Shaw Wu of Sterne Agee, in a research note issued Thursday, predicted that Apple would sell 46.5 million iPhones in the December quarter.
Concerns that Apple may not be able to meet iPhone 5 demand have caused the value of Apple's shares to fall in recent weeks. On Oct. 25 Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said demand for the iPhone 5 continued to outpace supply, but that Apple was working to catch up.
Gou said the design of the iPhone 5 makes production difficult, but he did not elaborate, according to the AFP story. The Reuters story said he did not comment on analyst reports that Foxconn's other manufacturing unit, Foxconn International Holdings, had taken on some of the iPhone 5 manufacturing.
Foxconn manufactures Apple's wildly successful iPhone and iPad devices, as well as products for other vendors including Sony and Nokia.
But the company occasionally generates headlines companies would prefer to avoid, such as last month's report of a major strike that could hinder iPhone production, an employee riot, and the company's recent admission that it hired underage interns.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Great Value! The 2009 Mersault has aromas of exotic fruits and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, the aromas are enhanced by notes of honey. It is a powerful wine with very nice length. Always a favorite at Morrell for its quality/price ratio.
Cellar/Tasting Notes This recent effort from Vincent Girardin declares itself as a full-bodied Chardonnay. Smoky pineapple is backed up with a decidedly stony minerality. The weight and power of this white Burgundy actually sneaks up on you as racy acidity hides the lush texture of this gorgeous wine. Serve with roast..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Sexy nose combines white flowers, spices and musky lees. Fat, plush and sweet, with a firm mineral edge giving the mid-palate a more chiseled quality than the Chassagne villages. The citrus and dusty stone finish conveys an impression of grip and firmness."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A very fresh, pure and expressive nose of straw, citrus and white orchard fruit merges into detailed and energetic middle weight flavors. Very dry and crisp, it delivers good length and energy.
Cellar/Tasting Notes From one of two Montrachet villages responsible for producing some of the greatest dry whites in the world, this Puligny is both a good value and a fine wine. Exhibits delicate vanilla and oak and nut aromas. It is ample and fat in the mouth with good acidity and plenty of spice and oak flavors.
Cellar/Tasting Notes 100% Chardonnay from extremely steep vineyards. Only natural yeast is used. A smoky, toasty nose followed by rich buttery aromas. Good mouthfeel on the palate with a rich creaminess, excellent balancing acidity and a very long finish. A stylish wine.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2010 Les Benoites presents with a golden yellow color with a glittering tint. The aromatic bouquet is that of vanilla scents and creme fraiche. On the palate, the wine is round and opulent with a great crisp end.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Round and supple, with excellent cut. The apple, peach and lemon flavors start out matched to a rich texture, dovetailing to a point as the finish stretches out.."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Winemaker's Notes: "A refined wine, well appreciated in the whole world. A beautiful golden colour and a great aromatic palette: honey, linden flower ("tilleul"), hazelnut butter, sometimes even chamomile or hawthorn. On the palate, a silky roundness. Long on the aftertaste, with flavours of yellow..

SEGA have announced an HD remake of the Saturn classic (and fan-favorite) NiGHTS into Dreams. Developed by Sonic Team, NiGHTS was originally released for the SEGA Saturn sixteen years ago today, and is fondly remembered by many who played it.
"The SEGA Saturn offered many unique gaming experiences, and NiGHTS into dreams... stands out as one of the most recognizable titles that found a home on the system," said Chris Olson, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA. "We've gotten a lot of requests about this game over the years, and are very happy to be able to give both former Saturn owners and new players a chance to play it in its most beautiful form to date this [spring]."
From the press release:
This new version will bring Nightopia to vivid life with improved HD graphics and a 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as added support for leaderboards, trophies, and achievements. It will also feature an optional Saturn Mode that will let players experience the game with the original graphics intact.

Remember for a moment a recent gathering with friends. Who was there? When and where did the event take place? Now imagine a future gathering with friends. Who is there? When and where does the event take place? As with mentally reliving the past, mental representations of the future include images of personal episodes taking place in specific settings.
According to cognitive psychologist Endel Tulving, Ph.D., the ability to envision specific future scenarios (called episodic future thought) may be closely related to the ability to recollect specific episodes from our past (that is, episodic memory). Indeed, evidence from neuropsychology, clinical psychology, and developmental psychology indicates that people who cannot remember specific details from their past also appear to be impaired in their ability to mentally envision personal future experiences.
Efforts to understand the relationship between memory and future thought are in their infancy. The potential payoff, however, is considerable: it will likely inform our basic understanding of human memory, as well as of brain disorders in which that most essential human ability is impaired.
Consider the patient known in the scientific literature as KC. KC, who has been studied extensively by Tulving and his colleagues at the University of Toronto,1 has global amnesia caused by diffuse brain damage that he sustained in a motorcycle accident. Many of KC's cognitive abilities are intact, but he can neither remember any single episode from his past nor project himself mentally into the future. When asked to do either, he states that his mind is "blank"; when asked to compare the kinds of blankness in the two situations, he says it is the "same kind of blankness."
DB, another brain-injured patient who has been studied by Stanley Klein, Ph.D., and his colleagues at the University of California at Santa Barbara, exhibits a similar profile. Following DB's cardiac arrest, his brain sustained damage due to lack of oxygen. DB can no longer recollect his past, nor can he project himself into the future.2 Both KC and DB have self-concepts consistent with descriptions An inability to envision a "brighter future" may contribute to sustaining depression. of their personalities given by others who know them well. Although they cannot remember specific events from their own pasts, their overall self-knowledge (for example, "I am generally comfortable in social settings") is reliable and can even be changed by new experiences. Moreover, both patients understand the concept of time: they know that there is a future and a past, they can tell time with an analog clock, and they know about their past and their future in a vague sense. What they lack is the ability to perform mental time travel.
Eleanor Maguire, Ph.D., and her colleagues at University College, London, have recently replicated what was observed with KC and DB and extended the observations in a more systematic fashion.3 Five amnesic patients were tested for their ability to form mental images of novel experiences that might take place in the future in a familiar setting, such as a possible event in their lives over the next weekend. These patients were markedly impaired in their ability to do this—their mental images were vague and highly fragmented when compared to those reported by a control group of people of the same average age and level of education but without amnesia.
Another example can be found in people with severe depression. Researchers have known for some time that such individuals have difficulty in bringing to mind personal details from their past. Mark Williams, Ph.D., and his colleagues at the University of Wales showed in 1996 that people with clinical depression are also impaired in their ability to engage in episodic future thought, a discovery that may have important implications for understanding how prolonged depressive states are maintained. For example, an inability to envision a "brighter future" may contribute to sustaining depression.

When I'm doing construction seams, stuff on the inside that no one will see, I'll use plain black, white or grey thread and save the colored thread for hand sewing and details. Since I go through so much of those three colors, I'll wind up three or four bobbins of each. When one bobbin runs out, it's simple to drop the next one in.

Don't forget that some machines will actually wind a bobbin while you sew. This normally a feature on industrial machines but make sure and check your owners manual to see if you can do it with your own machine.
BTW: The Brother you are getting does not do this just in case you where hoping.

Not sure what you mean by that but I wonder if you are talking about flocking. Flocking is what is used on Miss Piggy now. They take a raw foam form of her head and then flock that to make it look like fleece. It is a process where you spray the foam with an adhesive and then cover it in "bits" of fabric. That is the simplified version of how it is done. The process is currently being discussed in this thread.
Doh! Sorry, I didn't finish that sentence, although the link you sent me was very cool! I meant to say " Anyone know how to make the fleece that attaches to the mouthplate neater?" Whenever I hot glue it to the mouth plate it seems to always get all gross and really just makes the puppet look bad, I know it's not necessary right now, but I'd like to know it for future reference.

Polar Fleece comes in different weights, or thicknesses. Some are heavier weight, for heavy-duty outdoor gear, and some are very thin, for things like jammie pants. (If you're technical, it's micro, 100, 200, and 300 weights)
If you choose heavier weight fleeces, there's more fluff to fluff up around the seams, but the heavier it is, the less flexible it is. Lighter weight fabrics have less fluff, but are more flexible. Heavier weight fleeces cost more too, so buy the heaviest weight that works for your project.
If you look at the edge of the fabric, it's a little like a sandwich cookie. Fluff, a knit base in the middle, and more fluff on the outside. If one side is more heavily fluffy, use that side as your "right" side to maximize your fluffability.
Glad we're being helpful!

You could try and hand sew your mouth plates in. Might give you a cleaner edge. You can also sew then to the head via machine wrong side out and then turn them. This works best on a puppet like you are doing now that has a softer mouth plate. I know we have said it again but with practice and patience you'll get better at this.
You are having to gather the edge of the face fabric into that of the mouth plat since it is "larger". In the sewing world this is called "easing your fabric in". It takes time and finesse. You could try running what is called a basting stitch around the mouth on the face fabric. A basting stitch is large running stitch that are easy to take out. They let you gather the fabric up on the thread so you can even out the gathers and distribute them evenly and nicely along the area you want to attach it to. So you would do this and then pin the fabric to your mouth plate making it nice and clean. Then use the ladder/henson stitch to sew it down or if you prefer you can glue it down a bit at a time. The only problem with this is that if you glue it then you may not be able to pull your basting stitch out which is what you normally do once you have it sewn down.
Hand Sewing Stitches : How to Sew Basting Stitches
Another tip when putting your mouth in is to at the very least pin it at the corners and centers at the very least before you start sewing or glueing.

Just wanted to add something about basting stitches. You can do them on the machine and when you do that you can actually run two of them right next to each other about a pressure foot width apart. Then when you draw up your basting stitches you get a really neat clean gather that can be worked into wherever you are working.

^Yeah it's important that we Europeans understand that else we get a highly distorted view. That said he is second place in the lead opposition so lhunes good god comment is definitely warranted.
P.S. To put things in perspective Santorum won Ohio with 97k votes, whereas the adult population is something close to 2.8million. So he really got 3-4% of the vote, and these are of course people who are already registered republicans. Don't get me wrong, that's still scary despite what appears to be a low percentage, but it's hardly representative of Ohio, and certainly not the entire U.S.
Bah state politics. I should really look into it more thoroughly. Having said that, does the 3-4% mean that there are a shitton of people who don't vote at all? Or that there are a shitton of other candidates and he just happens to be at the top of the list?
not like guy who is mormon, protects rich and still want to force war with iran is any better, obama is a lesser evil of all those i think..
That might be true but the ongoing elections are just to see who the republican party chooses to run in the general presidential election. That's the republican primary and only registered republicans can vote in it. The actual election hasn't started yet.
Sorry, wasn't very clear. It might be true that not many people vote, I don't know the statistic. Since the U.S. is mostly a two-party system, let's just deal with the democrats and republicans.
Since Barack Obama ran as a democrat and is the incumbent, he'll automatically represent the democratic party candidate (for the next election, the democrats will have their own primary). The republicans use the primaries to choose a candidate to run against him. So the primary election is an election to decide who runs in the election. A little confusing, but just think of it as like... the semi-finals.
The thing about primaries is that only registered republicans can vote and help decide who the republican candidate can be. As many (if not most) voters are actually independent or undecided, primaries don't get the highest turn-outs. Maybe 20-30% of eligible voters in the U.S. are registered republicans (and same for democrats). Democrat party primaries actually don't require you to be a registered democrat to vote in their primaries, but I'm sure the turn-out is still less.
So, like this (simplified)?
I find it easier to think in pictures surprisingly enough, lol.
Yeah pretty much, although the democrats have primaries too, but there's nobody running who's a serious threat to Obama.
There's also slight variations of primaries that let different groups vote. For example one may let only registered party members vote, another registered party members and independents, and another any eligible voter regardless. Sometimes caucuses are used in lieu of primaries, which as I understand it means a whole bunch of people gathered in a church or town hall derping to decide instead of a more formal vote.
Oh and depending on what state you live in the primaries/cauceses can be ignored.
and then theres super asdasghvasjda

Also I'm pretty sure independent parties don't have primaries, because nobody is going to vote for them anyway (some Democracy huh?)

Why I don't view America as a true democracy is because it is restricted by some really outdated rules and conventions (the Constitution) which basically only benefits the lobbyists and the already existing parties and its members.
"What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.
The will of the people is irrelevant when the average person isn't intelligent enough to make an educated decision.Well, if no one votes for them, that's the will of the people right?
As long as there are only 2 parties to choose from, it will never be a true Democracy.

Just imagine that suddenly, overnight, everybody simultaneously decided to vote for the party they actually want to vote for. I'm curious what the results would be then.
That's where the first part of my statement comes in lol. If people were smart and not sheep, there would probably be more than two partiesThe will of the people is irrelevant when the average person isn't intelligent enough to make an educated decision.

I think it's something that should be taught in schools, that people should question and doubt more, that we need more research and to examine all the evidence before we form beliefs. But I'm also sure there's more to it than that (no doubt some problems from the actual system itself, but beyond systematic problems). It might be something I'll research, but maybe someone else has some answers.

I think you are right on.
Your analysis of incompetent people being unable to detect their own incompetence has also been an empirically observed effect.
Ironically, the phenomenon of competent people underestimating their abilities has also been observed. In this case, I think you are undervaluing your conclusion.
In American schools we aren't taught how to think, we're taught what to think. It is just that simple. If school was more about skepticism and free-thinking, and less about conditioning, I think the future of the country would look very different.

No Child Left Behind rofl. The irony of cutting a school's funding when they fail to teach their students will go down in history somewhere as a hilarious footnote.

In Weeks 2 and 3 against Oakland and the Jets, respectively, the Dolphins were dominant running the football. Reggie Bush averaged a combined 6.5 yards per carry, and the Dolphins rushed for a ridiculous 448 yards in those two games. Even in the opening game against the Texans, Bush managed to run for 4.9 yards per carry against the 9th best run Defense in the league.
Weeks 4 and 5 were a different story. While the passing game was certainly more effective, the Dolphins weren't able to run the ball with nearly the same consistency or generate chunk yards like they were previously. Miami ran for a total of just 154 yards in the last two games, including just 68 yards against Cincinnati's bottom ranked run defense; that was despite running the ball 35 times, (1.9 yards per carry).
So what happened? In this blog I'll attempt to find the issue and come up with a solution (although it turns out to be pretty simple).
Given that Bush was clearly dealing with ill-effects from his knee injury against the Cardinals that he had suffered the previous week vs New York, let's focus on the Bengals game where we saw (or at least should have seen) a healthier Reggie Bush.
Also keep in mind that I am only evaluating Reggie Bush's runs...I give up on Danielle Thomas. He's awful. I'll automatically put all the blame for his lack of success on him...entirely...without hesitating.
The major reason doesn't need a lot of tape study to figure out. Arizona committed to stopping the run. The table I constructed is pretty telling. The "vs 7" indicates that the defense had 7 men in the box, and "vs 8" obviously then means they had 8 in the box. Each of the numbers below is the amount of yards Bush carried on each individual run, in order.
The Dolphins ran the ball fine against just 7 men. Outside of a poor decision by Bush on one run to cut back and a blown block by Jonathan Martin on another, the Dolphins were nearly flawless running the ball against a standard 43 defensive look.
But why run the ball when there are 8 men in the box? Not only did Tannehill not check out of the called run play, but on several of those runs he audibled TO a running play (whether it be from a passing play, or another run). The Bengals were clearly gearing towards stopping the run and forced Tannehill to beat them with his arm...which he did. But the Dolphins have to do a better job of recognizing 1 on 1 match-ups on the outside and exploiting them.
Should too much blame get put on Tannehill? Not necessarily. The coaching staff should have told him to call out of run plays at half time (or sooner). In fact, after the first half the Dolphins had just one more run play against 7 men as against 8 men (5 to 4). Considering how the ending totals came out, you are safe to assume that the Dolphins did a worse job of checking out of the run in the 2nd half. For this reason I put plenty of the blame on the coaching staff for not making an obvious adjustment.
I do want to question why the Dolphins have gone away from Lamar Miller the past two weeks. The rookie got a combined 19 carries against Oakland and New York, but just 4 against Arizona and no snaps at all against the Bengals. It's not a coincidence that you saw a decline in the run game overall.
I've beat this horse dead, removed all it's limbs, castrated it, and used it's testicles as ornaments to hang from the rearview mirror of my car...but I'm going to beat it a little more; Lamar Miller can run. Danielle Thomas cannot. It's that simple. I don't care what deficiencies Lamar has in pass protection...it's a stupid excuse to not have him out there. Leave Lane or Clay in the backfield with him to pick up blitzes...Have Lamar do what he does best. Either run the ball when he's in the game, or have him go out for a pass. You can manufacture ways to leave him out of uncomfortable situations. I'm not asking for him to be a full time starter; just 15 snaps a game (preferably all 15 coming in place of Ms. Thomas). If Miami coaches can't do that then they need to come up with a better list of excuses than just the one lame one.
Even if Lamar is caught in one bad situation while he's out there, and gives up a QB pressure, I would gladly make that sacrifice if it meant Miller touches the ball 10 more times, and Thomas 10 times less over the course of a game.
Unfortunately I'm too busy this week to give you guys a nice video break down of the run game. Those take a while to record, piece together, upload, etc. Here are a few notes from quick film study though: Richie Incognito and Jake Long are consistently declining, in both pass protection and the run game.
The excuse with Long's play in the first couple of weeks of the season was that he had just recently suffered the MCL injury...Five weeks later, and he's gotten worse every week. It hasn't gotten to the point where he's a liability, but he's certainly not a strength of this team anymore.
Incognito is a down hill, physical offensive lineman. He's not very nimble on his feet and I don't think he's fitting the new zone blocking scheme very well, which calls for smaller, athletic lineman.
I think it's very possible that Miami has two new names on the left side of the offensive line next season.
The three MVP's so far in the run game for the Dolphins from a blocking standpoint have been Mike Pouncey, who is turning into an elite center and his skill set is being maximized by this blocking scheme, John Jerry, who is improving every week (especially in pass protection), and Javorskie Lane, who is destroying people in the hole and has the athleticism to get outside the tackle and seal the edge for Bush; it's fun to watch.
While Bush was tremendous at picking and choosing his spots to take the play outside against Oakland and NY, he did a poor job of it against the Cardinals and Bengals. It was way too often that Bush attempted to bounce the play outside for a big gain when there were positive yards to be gained by keeping it in-between the tackles, and the plays resulted in a loss of yards or very minimal gains. Could it be that he's nervous about taking more hits inside because of the knee? Possible. Is it from a lack of practice? Also possible. It's impossible to tell from the outside looking in.
That's it for this week. I'll end the blog with this: I'm five for five picking games this season and am confident I'll be six for six heading into the bye week.
Miami 20
St. Louis 13

Okay. Blogging a super late entry which I am supposed to blog about it weeks ago. I actually took all the photos. I am just a bit lazy and busy to edit them.
If you have read my previous entry about Kanebo Sales. You wouldn't have or want to miss it. The sales is crazy and this is what I call sales. Lunasol palette was like 50% cheaper. I have been wanting to own one but because of my frequent sales purchase. I really accumulate too many to buy them off shelves, hence this sales is a perfect excuse for me to buy them.
By the time we reached, there is already a small crowd there. Can u imagine that I reach at 11 plus only?
Introducing my new beauty kaki, Patricia!~ (Left) and me on the right. We still got the time the cam whore sia…
Our combined haul. Don't be mistaken, Patricia only buy a few. Most of them are mine!~
These are her small haul. She really control her buying since she is a student so she got more budget control problem than me.
My 2 bags of haul from the Kanebo sales. I do admit a bit intimidating to a lot of people. But my leechie friend bought a lot more than me. My haul look big as I bought 2 bundle of Kanebo Skincare from Impress and Blanchir Superior as I wanted to try their skincare too.
My humble haul. Not that much right? I told u all le ma. I did exercise small budget control.
Coffret D'or
I got an extra Lunasol item on the extreme right that I missed out from the Lunasol group. I bought 2 eyeshadow palette and 1 eyeliner from Coffret D'or
In case you don't know, they have left Singapore already. Hence, the last collection that they launched is the Summer 2010 collection. (Read more from: Haru's Blog)
Jewelcious Eyes (02: Pink Topaz and 04: Amber Beige)
Coffret D'or full keep gel liner (BK-30)
I initially did wanted to get the C Curve palettes. However, I find their shade not to my liking. I put them back before I went to pay.
My Kate Haul. I bought slightly more for this because they are really much cheaper. They are even cheaper than Watson sales too.
KATE Reflect Mirror Eyeshadow
Limited edition Diamond Cut Eyes Bk 2 – Dark Diamond
Magical Long Mascara N and Volume Gel Mascara
Brown Collection (BR-1 and BR-4)
Covering Concealer for Under Eyes
Lunasol Aurorized Eyes
I bought 3 palette but only after I went home, I discover that I bought 2 of the same colour. I think the lady gave me the wrong colour.
Nail Polish (EX-26). It freaking cost S$8 only, how can I miss it?
Blanchir Superior
Next Blanchir Superior skincare. I guess skincare is something I will always like to try.
The Impress set is really very pretty. I really love the white bag. It is actually more of a toilette bag.
See the small details!~ The area is very well made.
The content of the Impress set
I like the travel size. Since I just want to try this range, hence I do not want it to be full sized.
From left to Right, top to bottom: White Returnergy, White Emulsion, White Lotion and Brightening cleansing Sheet.
I will update the prices of the product again.
