Rug Showrooms Expand, Move for Las Vegas Market
July 17, 2012,
NEW YORK-For the upcoming Las Vegas Market, less than two weeks away, several rug manufacturers have either moved or expanded their showrooms, and will debut the new spaces at the show.
Two rug companies are relocating to Building A. Jaunty will be in A455 in a new 3,000-square-foot showroom. It's a "better move," said Kami Navid, executive vice president, and conveniently located across from the escalators. In addition, the new showroom is near floral and lighting showrooms, and Navid liked the mix, as the company targets retailers that use rugs as accessories.
Jaipur will move to a new building, Building B, for its new space B424. At 8,500 square feet, the new showroom is larger than the previous one of 5,000 square feet. The new showroom will be near more accessories companies, such as lighting and home decor, which makes for a good mix of products, said Josh Roberts, vice president, sales and marketing. In addition, "the Western U.S. is our fastest growing market."
As previously announced, Loloi Rugs has expanded its showroom space in Las Vegas Market, growing it to 21,500 square feet, the company's largest trade show space in the U.S. The company will show in Building B, B480.
Also previously announced, Harounian Rugs has expanded its showroom in Building B, B420.
The Las Vegas Market begins July 30.

Author has written 89 stories for True Blood, Deadwood, Lovejoy, Battlestar Galactica: 2003, Major Crimes, Firefly, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, and Kings.
I'm a long-time reader of fanfiction and in 2011, I discovered HBO's Deadwood. Some niggling observations about Season 3 of Deadwood that I couldn't find addressed in any fanifc led me to make my first attempt at writing some of my own, and things went from there. I also like Battlestar Galactica 2003, True Blood, Firefly, Chuck, Pillars of the Earth, The Closer, Major Crimes, Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, Upstairs, Downstairs, Forever, Game of Thrones, The Americans, Sons of Anarchy and Justified, and continue to look for entertainment before it's cancelled by network execs.
In my Deadwood fanfic (and New in Town, to a lesser degree), there is a lot of historical detail, and these details have been researched thoroughly before they go in my fic. Any artistic license is noted in the author's notes. Almost everything after February 2012 has been beta'd twice,; once for content/characterization, and once for detailed SPAG. When and if I stray from canon (which is one of the things I love about AUs) I strive to give the characters a solid foundation for what they do.
I welcome any and all reviews; if you fav or follow me or my fic, I'd really appreciate even a short review of the fic that caught your eye. Even a "I liked this" will be welcomed with open arms, I promise! Concrit is always welcome, as are observations about the story, the show, the characters, etc.
Update: As the words come slower these days, reviews become even more critical for encouragement. No obligation, but know that even the shortest ones give me that little extra push towards the keyboard.
Review Pledge
I promise to reivew every fanfic I read whether it be fantastic, useless or anywhere in between. I make this pledge because I know how frustrating it as an author to have hundreds (or thousands) of hits and only a handful of reviews. Copy and paste this onto your profile if you promise to do the same
Okay, shameless attention-whoring over--back to scribbling!
Update 08-2011: I'm working on a series of stories as a prequel to Deadwood, starting around 1860 and going through the life and times of the Deadwood characters until HBO's "Deadwood" begins. Headings and summaries will include enough(I hope) info so it's easy to see when, in the timeline, the story was set. My goals are to offer some explanation for why the characters do as they do in the show (entirely out of my imagination based on what was going on in that era and things said on the show). Although the project is continuing, stories that have completed their own arc will be marked "complete".
If a story doesn't have "prequel" in the summary, it is meant to be part of my other project, creating the imaginary "season 4" that I and other writers are working on to make up for the shabby treatment of fans by HBO in their premature cancellation of Deadwood in mid-stream.
Please feel free to let me know if labels, summaries and the like are confusing or misleading. As always, concrit, reviews, feedback, etc. are very welcome.
Update 9-2011: Although there is no separate fandom for "Lovejoy" (since it's been off the air for almost 17 years),I've started a multi-chapter story about Lovejoy and his complicated BFF, the married Lady Jane (married at the time of this story). Thanks to all Downton Abbey fans, who pointed me towards Mrs. Hughes, whereby I learned that she is played by Phyllis Logan, which led me on to Lovejoy. Which, by the by, is still a delight to watch, even if everybody dresses "1990's" funny.
Update: 6-2012: I'm working on two longfics: "New in Town", a crossover of "Deadwood" and Battlestar Galactica 2003: Bill and Laura end up stranded in Deadwood, circa 1879. The setting and timeframe is a year after the events seen in the last episode of "Deadwood", and in the BSG 'verse, the timeframe is shortly after the New Caprican settlers are rescued by Galactica, and prior to Gaius' trial.
2nd up is "One Wild Ride", which started as a BSG drabble with a prompt of "Adama/Roslin, AU". This AU is flavored with "Sons of Anarchy" themes but is not a crossover. There is quite a bit of "Caprica" here, as well, particularly featuring references to Sam Adama and his world of Ha'la'tha enforcement. In this 'verse, Bill and Laura's story begins when she is eighteen and Bill is a young veteran of the Cylon war. As with BSG canon, theirs is a rocky road as they try to figure out how they do or don't fit in each other's lives.
Update 05-2015: Everything posted is complete, whether it be one-shots or long, long sagas. While I might re-visit a favorite 'verse, it will be as a stand-alone story. And this doesn't mean I can't be talked into writing a "what happened next" fic, because I totally can :-)

The Walking Dead fans should expect to watch more characters bite the dust, if spoilers are accurate. Apparently no one is safe from either zombies or human foes on this popular AMC series. Although earlier Walking Dead spoilers and preview videos indicate Daryl Dixon makes it out of Woodbury alive, he won't necessarily stay that way.
Daryl has emerged as a fan favorite and might continue to dodge zombie bites for the rest of Season 3, but nothing appears to be written in concrete for any character on this unpredictable series.
Showrunner Greg Nicotero had this to say about The Walking Dead during an interview with Hypable:
"We've established a certain scenario on our show where nobody is safe and certainly in the back-half of our season, it doesn't get easy for anybody. We have the whole Woodbury community with the Governor and our principal cast. We'll probably end our season minus a cast member of two."
Nicotero also recently noted that a character that fans probably didn't think they would ever see again will resurface during Season 3 Part 2, Examiner notes. The Walking Dead spoilers indicate that Morgan is the mystery man that Rick and the group will stumble across. Morgan was the man Rick met after leaving the hospital in the first episode of the series.
Morgan and his son were supposed to meet up with Rick after they took care of some pending matters. Morgan's wife became a "walker" and he wanted to put her out of her misery, but he just hadn't been capable of pulling the trigger. Rick was shown trying to reach Morgan on his dying radio during several episodes in Season 1.
The Walking Dead returns on February 10. Who do you think will die before the end of the season?

What are shocks capturing in DSGE modelling? Structure versus misspecification
Recent tendency in academic work and at central banks is to develop and estimate large DSGE models for policy analysis and forecasting. These models typically have many shocks (e.g. Smets and Wouters, 2003 and Adolfson, Laseen, Linde and Villani, 2005). On the other hand, empirical studies suggest that few large shocks are sufficient to capture the covariance structure of macro data (Giannone, Reichlin and Sala, 2003 and 2005, Uhlig, 2004, Stock and Watson, 2005). This paper explores the hypothesis that many shocks in DSGE modeling are needed to fit the data in presence of misspecification and measurement problems. We consider an alternative approach which models explicitly the statistical agency along the lines of Sargent (1989). We show that, once we allow for measuring error, only few structural shocks remain significant in standard DSGE models.

If Bikepath Country Vice President Richie O'Keefe is to be believed, he'll need to install more than 100 signs with advertising along the 11-mile-long Putnam Trailway to deliver the income he promised Putnam County legislators on Monday.
To make O'Keefe's predicted income, he'd need to install a double-sided sign every 200 yards – four times as many as O'Keefe has said his company will erect.
That's the bottom-line from O'Keefe's appearance Monday at the Putnam County Legislature, in preparation for Tuesday's vote on a yet-to-be disclosed agreement.
The vote comes as cyclists and pedestrians opposed to the trailway ads have launched an online petition to oppose the plan. The proposal to have the for-profit company sell advertising on trailway signs moves forward in Putnam after Westchester County Parks Department decided to halt the proposal before signing a contract with the county to put them up.
The growing controversy surrounding the Putnam Trailway ads program may have had an impact on the market for their outdoor advertising in the woods. When I first interviewed former Carmel Town Councilman O'Keefe and Bikepath Country President President Ivan Bellotto in May, they told me they planned to sell ads for between $200 and $400 a month, placed every half-mile along the former railroad right-of-way.
On Monday, the sponsorships were to be sold, on a sliding scale, up to $50 a month. But selling every ad, every month, each of 44 mile-markers would only bring gross revenue of $26,400. Then Bikepath Country would get to deduct its expenses for the manufacture and installation of the signs before splitting net profits 50-50 with the county.
There are also a few larger signs planned for intersections, with the maps and trail regulations.
At that rate, Bikepath Country would need four times as many signs to reach O'Keefe's prediction on Monday that the county would reap $40,000 to $50,000 a year.
After the meeting, I approached O'Keefe to discuss the discrepancy. But he walked away, refusing to explain how his numbers worked.
O'Keefe's update comes as the Legislature meets Tuesday to vote on a yet-to-be disclosed agreement between Putnam County and Bikepath Country. The legislators are still waiting to see the contract.
"What are we voting on?" asked Legislator Dini LoBue, R-Mahopac. "It's a bunch of nonsense. What's the hurry? Where is the fire? Where is the agreement?"
Calls to Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell were not returned.
Legislator Carl Albano, R-Carmel, though, thinks it's time to move forward to allow the company to put up the signs, and sell the advertising.
"It's the right thing to do on the path," he said. "People who like to have a map and mile markers. It's another set of eyes on the trails. If we make money, that's a bonus. If they aqre willing to take a shot on it, let's let them do it. I like having somebody else do it. And if doesn't work, pull the signs out and go home."
Keefe's decision to cut the rates for the sponsorships has undermined the rationale for installing the advertising along 11 miles of paved trail, along the right-of-way of the Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad. In May, O'Keefe and Bikepath Country President Ivan Bellotto, the owner of Camp Kiwi in Mahopac, predicted the advertising would help cover maintenance costs for the trailway, which at the time, were estimated by county officials at $100,000 a year.
Now that estimate has risen to $140,000, according to Highway Commissioner Fred Pena.
The new rationale for the signs is concern over public safety on the pathway through the woods, as expressed by the public-safety officials who hold sway in Putnam County government circles. They want GPS coordinates on the signs in the woods, so they'll be able to more quickly find someone who falls off their bike.
But cyclists wonder if the signs might become a distraction to those experiencing the woods on two wheels.
"We are already inundated with too much advertising," wrote Victor Chase, of Yorktown, on the online petition. "Additionally, signage on the bike path would be a distraction to riders and, therefore, a safety hazard."
Bikepath Country, meanwhile, received good news from Pinnellas County, Fl., where parks officials have finalized an agreement that would allow the company to sell ads on the Fred Marquis Trail. Under the agreement, Bikepath Country would receive 70 percent of the income, after expenses, said Paul Cozzie, of Pinellas County parks department.
Ads would comprise about 20 percent of the sign's surface area, according to the sign design. In Putnam, Bikepath Country's ads would comprise up to 10 percent of a sign's area. The company has yet to show Putnam legislators what such a sign would look like. The examples shown so far have all provided much more space for ads.

The best bet is the hardcover of THE STARTER, which lists the field colors of all the Tier One teams who are in the league at that time. That insert lists the turf and the color of the sideline chalk. It doesn't mention the specific plant or how it smells.
Is there any place that lists the different turf that is present in each GFL stadium?
I'd prefer knowing the color of the turf, the color of the sideline chalk. The type of plant and how it smells would be a bonus.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Did you check to see if the exhaust valve hit the piston?
Do you think the rocker failed because of a lack of lubrication? Any signs of that? Was the lifter or valve train tapping before? Does the rocker look blue or is there any small metal shavings laying around?
Did you check that the new push rod does squirt out oil when running?
Actually I am getting ahead of myself. After I typed this I continued to read and see you had already answered some of these questions.
Ok, no or little signs of oil? Is that both sides or just the one? I assume you did run the engine without the valve cover and look. Have to checked the oil pressure?
What weight of oil are you using? Did you add any STP to the oil originally when doing the longblock for breakin? If so, is it still in there? Have you changed the oil filter yet?
OK, I originally suspected that it may be a valve hit. I put the borescope down the cylinder after we poured Marvel Oil in the cylinder to see if it would leak through. (this is what the warranty tech told us to do) the marvel oil ate some of the carbon off the piston and I discovered a notch that looks manufactured and not a valve hit. It is wedge shaped and has very clean lines. None of the other cylinders has the same mark that we can tell. This worries me but the tech said they may put in different pistons. He couldn't come with a picture of one. I have never seen such a thing but I have seen valve strikes and this doesn't look like that. As I said we did a leak down compression test and there is no sign of exhaust valve not sealing. The rocker failed because the pushrod came out from underneath it. The rocker shaft was badly gouged on the bottom so I don't know what happened first.
Now we are getting great compression and a good leak down.
I only have the one rocker cover off. I can not see if the push rods are squirting any oil but the engine sounds normal. We did not use any STP for the break in. Have not checked oil pressure but no light is on and engine sounds normal . I just don't trust the no oil thing.
Different pistons? Do you believe that?
Well, so the exhaust valve isn't bent, that's good.
I don't think the oil light will come on untill it's under 1 psi, you should check the oil pressure.
I don't believe that but I also don't know what to think when we have good compression and the leak down doesn't show a bad valve or rings etc. I guess I will check the oil pressure and go from there. I was hoping someone would say "hey old man, we build tighter more efficient engines these days and they don't spray oil all over the place with the rocker cover off. Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX help.
Yeah, check that oil pressure.

I am the plant manager of a specialty steel manufacturing shop. One of our products is elevator guide rails, which are shipped directly to job sites. The machined surfaces of the rails are held to a tolerance of ±0.002 inch and must be protected from rust prior to and during construction. We currently use a thixotropic liquid rust preventative, which works well. The problem is it is messy to handle the rails with this coating and it must be removed before the elevator is put into service. This is difficult to do at the job site. We are presently searching for a dry rust preventative that would eliminate these problems. I realize this is not the usual type of coating you are associated with but from your vantage point, you may be aware of what is available. R. H.
You are correct, dry lubricants are not paints. I am familiar with the type of products you are using and they are messy. However, there is another approach to consider. Strippable coatings are a perfect solution for your problem. They have been used for many years to protect machined surfaces from corrosion and mechanical damage during shipping and handling. They have been used even longer to protect military hardware from environmental damage (for example, the acres of "mothballed" aircraft stored after WWII). The beauty of this product is it can be applied in your plant and then stripped at the job site, when desired and the residue is dry and non-messy. Suppliers of strippable coatings are listed under Coatings, strippable-plastic on page 287 and under Spray booth coatings on pages 413 and 414 of the Products Finishing 2005 Directory and Technology Guide (www.pfonline.com/suppliers.html).


text: Transformation is the process by which an organism acquires exogenous DNA. Transformation can occur in two ways: natural transformation and artificial transformation. Natural transformation describes the uptake and incorporation of naked DNA from the cell's natural environment. Artificial transformation encompasses a wide array of methods for inducing uptake of exogenous DNA. In cloning protocols, artificial transformation is used to introduce recombinant DNA into host bacteria (E. coli). The most common method of artificial transformation of bacteria involves use of divalent cations (e.g., calcium chloride) to increase the permeability of the bacterium's membrane, making them chemically competent, thereby increasing the likelihood of DNA acquisition. Another artificial method of transformation is electroporation, in which cells are shocked with an electric current, to create holes in the bacterial membrane. With a newly-compromised cell membrane, the transforming DNA is free to pass into the cytosol of the bacterium. Regardless of which method of tranformation is used, outgrowth of bacteria following transformation allows repair of the bacterial surface and selection of recombinant cells if the newly acquired DNA conveys antibiotic resistance to the transformed cells.

Role of Technology Increases in Classrooms [AUDIO]
Pencils and notebooks are slowly finding themselves being replaced by laptops and tablets when it comes to essential classroom supplies.
More and more schools districts in New Jersey are finding ways to get technology into the hands of students, and teachers are having no trouble finding ways to integrate it into their lesson plans.
"If you could imagine just the benefit that having that in class connection to the internet could mean in foreign language study, it's easy to see the benefit, as well as the physical sciences," says Frank Belluscio, Deputy Executive Director of the New Jersey School Board Association.
According to a Pew Research study conducted in February, 73 percent of Advanced Placement or National Writing Project teachers say students already use phones or tablets in the classrooms to complete assignments.
Undoubtedly the technology is something many students are already using in their daily lives, so the challenge is to get it into the classroom.
While some teachers are having students use their own personal devices, many districts in New Jersey are applying for funding and trying to find ways to get the hardware into the hands of students. However, Belluscio says cost is still a major barrier many districts face.
"Some districts have found leasing agreements as the most fiscally prudent way of approaching it, others have flat out purchased the equipment."
While there has been a lot of buzz of these new technologies in the classroom, some are worried about issues of cheating, access to inappropriate content, as well as financial inequalities amongst students.
Belluscio says it becomes an issue of strong policy from the district down to the teacher, namely getting over the mentality of confiscating cell phones on sight.
"First, you need very strong policies and very strong direction from the administration, and above all else, professional development for our teachers."
The commitment to technology is one that will only expand, says Belluscio, especially as the state adopts the Common Core Standards – which place a bigger emphasis on technology.
"The whole idea of having the access to computer devices, whether they be laptops or tablets, is going to be more critical than ever."

Willis will not play this season
By Justin Albers and Max McCombs
The source said Willis, who has not played this season, has not healed from a knee injury he suffered last season.
Willis has two year of eligibility remaining, but it is unclear when he will play football again.
The former Franklin Central standout and Indiana Mr. Football runner-up also dealt with injuries during his freshman season, when he rushed for 607 yards and six touchdowns. Willis had three games with more than 100 yards rushing that year, including a 152-yard, two touchdown outburst at Michigan. He was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman team following the season.
As a sophomore last season, Willis started twice more and played in the team's first four games before his knee injury ended his season.

(Freedom.news) Throughout his campaign, President-elect Trump was heavily criticized by his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, and President Obama for his desire to build a wall along the southwestern border.
But it seems like Obama has changed his mind–or, at a minimum, is engaging in stereotypical hypocrisy.
President Obama is taking a cue from Donald Trump … he's building himself a wall.
We got photos of construction at Obama's soon-to-be D.C. rental. You also see construction in the garage. As we reported, it will become an office with a bathroom.
…[T]he rental will be home until Sasha graduates so the Obamas needed the property outfitted for the Secret Service and … it needed more fortification.
Now, to be fair, it's understandable that the soon-to-be ex-president should be adequately protected. No reasonable person would deny that.
But–if walls and people with guns are required for presidential protection, why are they not acceptable as protection for the American people, along a very volatile and often dangerous border with a Mexican narco-state?
The Left sees no conflict or hypocrisy here, but that's intentional. We can't have anything interfering with the [false] narrative that Trump and his supporters are racist and xenophobic.
Meantime, it's perfectly okay for their president to be protected by a great wall and guys with guns.

Sharron Angle's days as anything other than a side show in Nevada politics are probably over.
Just for the heck of it we tested to see how Angle, less than a year removed from winning the Nevada Republican primary for Senate, would do if she changed her mind and decided to challenge Dean Heller next year. In one of the most lopsided head to head match ups in the history of PPP Heller leads Angle by 76 points at 84-8. Angle trails Heller 81-12 even with the Tea Party members who fueled her success last year.
Keep in mind Angle ran against Heller in a House primary in 2006 and lost just 36-35. Combine this poll finding with the one in January where 68% of Republicans in the state said they regretted her winning the nomination last year and it doesn't look like Angle's future political prospects are good even in a Republican primary.
Nevada Republicans generally seem to have learned their lesson after Angle's nomination quite possibly cost them a Senate seat last year. Only 17% of primary voters prefer a generic 'more conservative' alternative to Heller, compared to 69% who are content for Heller to be the nominee. It does not appear likely that Tea Party problems are in his future.
Another person who doesn't have much to worry about in terms of a primary contest is Shelley Berkley. She leads Byron Georgiou 65-8 in their possible match up. You can chalk part of that up to Berkley simply being better known and popular with a 59/13 favorability rating. But it's also a function of the fact that the Democratic voters who do know Georgiou just flat out don't like him- only 4% have a positive opinion to 23% who view him in a negative light. If Georgiou goes through with his run he's likely to be humiliated in the primary.

An easy to prepare and wonderfully delicious meat course."
2 quarts water
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
1 1/2-inch-thick boneless pork loin chops
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure ancho chile powder
Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing
In a large bowl, combine the water with the red pepper and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and stir until the salt dissolves. Add the pork chops and let brine at room temperature for 1 hour. Light a grill and create a cool zone. (For a charcoal grill, rake the coals to one side; for a gas grill, leave one side unlit.) In a bowl, mix the cocoa, sugar and ancho powder with 1 tablespoon of salt. Drain the pork chops and pat dry, removing any bits of crushed pepper. Brush generously with olive oil. Roll the pork chops in the cocoa rub and pat to help it adhere. Grill over moderately high heat for 4 minutes, turning the chops once or twice until lightly browned. Transfer the chops to the cool zone, cover and grill for about 15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the chops registers 135° for medium meat. Let the chops rest for 10 minutes before serving.

PRESCOTT VALLEY - Becoming Desert Vista's first two-time state champion Friday wasn't enough for Robbie Mathers.
So after beating Tucson Sunnyside's Lucio Murillo, a two-timer himself, Mathers took it upon himself to run a few wind sprints under the grandstand in the bowels of Tim's Toyota Center shortly after his 6-3 win ended.
"I want three and it starts now," said Mathers, who improved 39-3 on the season. "I just felt the need to keep working."
Mathers (125) won the 10th state title in school history - later bumped to 12 by Kendall Love at 135 and Alex Bambic at 215 - and it didn't come easy in the Division I bout.
Murillio nearly got the first takedown right after the opening whistle but Mathers was able to scramble out of it. The match was eventually stopped because Mathers sustained a cut on his forehead on the initial shot by Murillo.
"I was a little dazed, but it actually made me focus more," said Mathers, who gave Murillo his only two defeats of the season. "I came back with more of an edge."
Murillo eventually got a first-period takedown but Mathers escaped with nine seconds left in the first period to pull within 2-1.
Mathers deferred to start the second, and Murillo chose down. With 33 seconds left in the period, Mathers was able to lock up a tilt for a two-point near fall and a 4-2 lead.
"We've been working on his tilt and it's become a real weapon," Desert Vista coach David Gonzalez said. "It changed the match and put him in control."
He then chose down to start the third period, escaped and secured the win with a takedown with 1:26 left in the match.
"I had a lead but I didn't think about winning it until the final seconds because there was too much time left," Mathers said. "Once I won it there was a sense of relief. All of that work and time meant something."
Matthew Mathers, his freshman brother who missed placing by one match, said his big bro is an inspiration.
"I see how he works and how it paid off," said little Mathers, who finished 29-12. "He's a great role model."
Gonzalez wasn't surprised by the older Mathers' decision to get some running in shortly after getting his hand raised.
"It's an indicator of who he is and what drives him," Gonzalez said. "Winning a third one is already on his mind. That's just the way his mind works."

Andy Phillips on football vs. ski racing
Kick a few footballs, win a game and suddenly you've got FOX Sports and ESPN reporters putting a microphone in your face asking questions, you get so many text messages your phone can't handle the load and shuts down. What's a guy like Andy Phillips to do?
"I can't wrap my head around it yet," says Phillips a former member of the U.S. Ski Team who walked onto the U of Utah practice field this season, earned himself a look from the coaches and, given the opportunity, did about as much as it is possible, for the kicker, to win a football game.
Start off with a 45 yard field goal, and follow that immediately with a successful on-side kick. Add a 38 yarder at the end of the game (for a four point victory) another field goal and all the extra points and you've got the recipe for all those post game interviews.
After the on-side kick, there wasn't much that was going to bother Phillips. "I felt so calm after that, it was just let's go kick it, why not?" Near the end of the contest the coach asked him if he wanted the team to try to get the ball to the center of the field so he wouldn't have to kick at an angle. "I said naw, let's just go do it."
Two years ago there were no thoughts in Phillips head about football, other than perhaps watching some on television. Then a Thanksgiving Day family Turkey Bowl and a kicking contest with his brother convinced Phillips he had a chance to be a high caliber kicker.
I told my friend Colby (Granstrom US Ski Team member and the best man at Phillips' wedding) my goal was to make a football team. I Kind of made it my New Years Resolution. So we sent video to several schools. The Utes responded and he walked on the practice field and never looked back. "I guess the coach liked my athletic stature and ability to kick and wanted to see what I could do."
Training he says is no more difficult for football than it was for ski racing… it's just faster.
"In skiing you could go to the Center (Center of Excellence in Park City) and you have all day to accomplish what you need to. NCAA rules say you can only train so many minutes at a time, so it's a pretty fast pace."
Phillips says he never wanted to leave skiing, it was just financially unfeasible to continue. The attention he has attracted with his first game of football is another thing he says is difficult to "get the head around. It's just overwhelming for kicking a football. It's so strange. I keep thinking about it. I mean it's college, right? In skiing a Nor-Am and for sure Europa Cup is a higher level than that, but winning at that level doesn't get much attention even in Europe."
He admits the idea of an NFL career has crossed his mind, but it's not something he is hanging his hopes on. "My focus in stopping skiing to go to school and stuff was to make sure I get my degree. The primary goal is to get the degree. If it works out kicking… well fine."
Phillips says he could definitely reach a 60 yard field goal, but adds he feels comfortable from 50 yards in. Leg strength is one thing. Standing in there while the opponents are crashing toward you yelling and doing what they can to distract is quite another. Ski racing, he says, helped in overcoming that.
"I compared it a lot to being in the start gate. You get so zoned in. You are focused on whatever, a piece of the course, a particular gate. In football I'm just looking at a spot. Ok, the ball got there. Kick it. … The mentality is actually pretty much the same thing. You get so hyped up."
And then come the interviews.

Monday night football
Rams (0-1) at Giants (0-1)
8:30 p.m. Giants by 6, 431/2
The Giants are experienced enough to avoid panicking, even after losing by two touchdowns at the Redskins. But don't think coach Tom Coughlin has not tried to create a sense of urgency. The NFC East, per usual, is going to be a fight with the Cowboys back in the picture and the Eagles loading up on star power as if they're owned by the Steinbrenners. Eli Manning has to complete more than 56 percent of his passes. He has to be an efficient passer, and the Giants have to run the ball.
Giants 26, Rams 20
Ravens (1-0) at Titans (0-1)
1 p.m.
Ravens by 6, 38
Last season, no Buc had more than 41/2 sacks. Fire-breathing Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, above, had three last week. And when a pass rusher is that unblockable, the trickle-down effect is obvious (see safety Ed Reed's two interceptions). On offense, coordinator Cam Cameron is effectively combining Ray Rice's efficient running and Joe Flacco's accurate passing. The Titans will get some plays from receiver Kenny Britt and running back Chris Johnson; just not nearly enough.
Ravens 27, Titans 16
Cardinals (1-0) at Redskins (1-0)
1 p.m.
Redskins by 31/2, 44
Rex Grossman, above, practically made Redskins coach Mike Shanahan look like a genius for jettisoning Donovan McNabb. He threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns last week and now faces a defense that yielded 422 yards to Panthers rookie Cam Newton. Just as surprising as Grossman was the apparent improvement on defense. Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, a first-round pick, has something to do with that. And consider this stat: The Redskins held the Giants to 1-of-10 on third-down conversions.
Redskins 24, Cardinals 17
Cowboys (0-1) at 49ers (1-0)
4 p.m.
Cowboys by 3, 421/2
Loss or no loss in Week 1, the Cowboys served notice they're much improved. If quarterback Tony Romo, above, hangs onto the ball tighter and the punt team actually, you know, blocks instead of giving up a blocked punt, Dallas would've earned a sizable upset at the Jets. Instead, it faces a San Francisco team that was surprisingly impressive in its opener. Linebacker DeMarcus Ware had two sacks against New York and Dallas had six quarterback hits. Its defense is for real. Ask Jets QB Mark Sanchez.
Cowboys 28, 49ers 17
Bengals (1-0) at Broncos (0-1)
4:15 p.m.
Broncos by 31/2, 40
The Bengals look to have struck gold in the draft. Quarterback Andy Dalton, above, was solid in one half last week before getting hurt. (He's back today). And A.J. Green caught a 41-yard winning touchdown. Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton and coach John Fox are under a lot of pressure. The Mile High crowd chanted the name of a certain backup quarterback and former Gator despite Orton throwing for 304 yards. But with Denver gaining 2.9 yards per carry, perhaps fans should chant for a backup running back.
Broncos 20, Bengals 17
Texans (1-0) at Dolphins (0-1)
4:15 p.m., Ch. 10
Texans by 3, 48
We know this much about the Dolphins: Their offense can make things happen. For all the abuse Chad Henne, above, took (fans jeered him at training camp while clamoring to acquire Kyle Orton), the guy passed for 416 yards against New England. Here's the thing: The Dolphins couldn't stop the Patriots if quarterback Tom Brady had one arm tied behind his back. They'll have no such advantage today against receiver Andre Johnson. And Houston's defense is now good enough to win shootouts.
Texans 28, Dolphins 24
Eagles (1-0) at Falcons (0-1)
8:20 p.m., Ch. 8
Eagles by 2, 491/2
Not so long ago, Michael Vick regularly made opponents uncomfortable when visiting the Georgia Dome. But quarterback Matt Ryan, above, has the keys to the place now, and he doesn't like company. The Falcons were shaky in a 30-12 loss to Chicago, but it's impossible to ignore Ryan's 20-2 home record with 32 TDs and 12 interceptions. Atlanta has the talent to match up, so it's debatable whether a Falcons win would be an upset. Either way, we'll know more about both clubs by the end of the night.
Falcons 23, Eagles 21
Chargers (1-0) at Patriots (1-0)
4:15 p.m.
Patriots by 7, 531/2
Monday's 99-yard touchdown by Wes Welker, above, has been replayed countless times. Yet the remarkable thing about the Patriots offense isn't its explosiveness, but adaptability. Obviously, Tom Brady can go deep. But he also can work underneath routes to backs and medium routes to splendid tight ends such as Aaron Hernandez. And every blue moon, they dial up runs for Danny Woodhead or BenJarvus Green-Ellis. The Chargers are solid, but the Pats' 622 yards were no fluke.
Patriots 30, Chargers 23
Packers (1-0) at Panthers (0-1)
1 p.m.
Packers by 10, 46
Cam Newton, above, lost his opener for Carolina but should feel a bit vindicated after all of the questions about his ability to be a pocket passer. His 422 yards against Arizona were the most in a debut. Unfortunately for Newton, today he faces a quarterback capable of that on any given Sunday. Aaron Rodgers' masterpiece against the Saints (132.1 rating) served notice that Green Bay is capable of defending its title. Carolina might make it interesting, but it needs a few more playmakers.
Packers 31, Panthers 17
Chiefs (0-1) at Lions (1-0)
1 p.m.
Lions by 8, 45
There's no good time to lose your best defender, but the timing of safety Eric Berry's season-ending ACL injury couldn't be worse. After a 41-7 loss to the Bills, the Chiefs face a red-hot passing game. Calvin Johnson has been slowed by an ankle injury, but quarterback Matt Stafford, above, is just fine. The Bucs, despite having their best defensive back, were torched for two touchdowns by Johnson. Meanwhile, the Chiefs' performance was one of the mysteries of Week 1. Was it an aberration or reality?
Lions 27, Chiefs 17
Browns (0-1) at Colts (0-1)
1 p.m.
Browns by 2, 391/2
How many times in the past decade have you read the following words: The Colts could lose the quarterback battle. Peyton Manning's replacement, Kerry Collins, above, wasn't terrible last week against the Texans, but he led an offense that produced just seven points. That means he wasn't a difference-maker, which is what Manning is every Sunday. For Cleveland, Colt McCoy didn't have his best day in a loss to the Bengals. Is the change of offenses too much for the second-year quarterback?
Colts 20, Browns 17
Raiders (1-0) at Bills (1-0)
1 p.m.
Bills by 3, 421/2
Anyone who has scoffed at the notion of Ryan Fitzpatrick, above, as an NFL quarterback is eating crow after his four-touchdown game last week. The question for the Bills is if they can contain a potent Raiders rushing attack. (Darren McFadden had 150 yards on Monday) Oakland stopped the run against the Broncos, forcing Kyle Orton to throw 46 times. If Fitzpatrick has another efficient performance and the defense makes things interesting, Buffalo has the edge, particularly playing at home.
Bills 23, Raiders 21
Bears (1-0) at Saints (0-1)
1 p.m.
Saints by 61/2, 471/2
The name of Matt Forte, above, is rarely uttered when talk turns to the most dangerous running backs. But his versatility is just as much a key to the Bears offense as quarterback Jay Cutler. In a Week 1 blowout of the Falcons, Forte led the Bears with 68 rushing yards and was their leading receiver with five for 90 yards. The question becomes what the Bears will get from their other playmakers. We know the Saints have more than a few, and it's clear Drew Brees has little trouble finding them.
Saints 26, Bears 24
Seahawks (0-1) at Steelers (0-1)
1 p.m.
Steelers by 14, 40
There's a rumor going around that the Seahawks won the West in 2010. Though at 7-9, "winning" is a relative term. It was hard to view Seattle as a champ in a 33-17 loss to the 49ers. For that matter, the Steelers didn't look like one in a 35-7 throttling at Baltimore. If Seattle had difficulty running Marshawn Lynch last week, facing linebacker James Harrison, above, won't be a picnic. Ditto for quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, who struggled — and that was without linebacker LaMarr Woodley closing in.
Steelers 28, Seahawks 14
Jaguars (1-0) at Jets (1-0)
1 p.m., Ch. 10
Jets by 91/2, 39
The Jags began the post-David Garrard Era by beating the Titans with ex-Buc Luke McCown, above, under center. But the Jets, after their Houdini act against the Cowboys, are far better than the Titans. The secondary, led by corners Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie, is top notch. It's hard to see how Jacksonville gets near its 71 percent completion rate of a week ago. It has to go with a steady diet of Maurice Jones-Drew. Then all it must do is stop receivers Santonio Holmes and Plaxico Burress.
Jets 30, Jaguars 17

what books did you get for Christmas?
December 29, 2010
Do you remember calling your friends the day after Christmas and asking them what they got? That was almost as fun as getting presents of my own because I knew there would be lots of fun toys to play with at their houses the next time I went over to visit.
We got a few new books as gifts, so I thought I'd share them with you.
Ben's parents gave Juliet a few Christmas books which we will add to our growing Christmas collection:
Tasha Tudor'sThe Night Before Christmas
You can never have too many versions of this classic.
The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado
We haven't read it yet, but I love Lucado's books.
My Swiss sister in law's parents sent this for the girls:
Pitschi by Hans Fischer
The illustrations are completely enchanting. You'll probably see a post on this one someday.
And my brother's very sweet Swiss girlfriend gave these beautiful books to Juliet and Lucia:
Heidi by Johanna Spyri
Can't get more Swiss than this, can you?
A Very Naughty Rabbit: Tales of Mayhem and Mischief by Beatrix Potter
A beautiful collection--we didn't have this yet! We read the first story tonight. Can't wait to read more of it together.
The grandparents also added to her Tag collection:
LeapFrog® Tag Activity Storybook Toy Story 3: Together Again
This was the first movie Juliet ever saw in the theater.
LeapFrog Tag Activity Storybook: Rapunzel
I took Juliet to see Tangled a few days before Christmas--Have you seen it yet? It's really cute. She got the book before she saw the movie and thought it was okay, but after seeing it on the big screen, she LOVES the book. We've read it over and over again. (Actually, the Tag reader has read it to her over and over again. These things are great for long car rides!)
And although not technically a Christmas gift (got it for my birthday which is just after Christmas, so it's kind of the same thing), Ben got me this beauty that I have been wanting for awhile...
Alphabeasties: And Other Amazing Types by Sharon Werner
You'll definitely see a post on this one someday.
So what books did you or your kids get for Christmas? Any good ones to recommend?

- welcome to our wonderland said...

Um...too many to count or list...probably about 30 books! Some new, some used. Lots were Little Golden Books that were way too Christian for my sister-in-law, but perfect for us. :)

Oh Mai God :|
That melody is pretty extreme.
It reminds me a LOT of Avicii.
And it gave me quite a lot of inspiration too xD.
I might sit down today to think of a melody myself.
But like cahzmana said, the mixing needs a lot of work.
This track could be so amazing if both were good.
Try watching some tutorials for mixing and mastering and im sure you can reach heights one could only hope for.

Homes had to be evacuated as flames tore through a flat last night.
Crews from Norbury, West Norwood and Tooting were called to the blaze in the semi-detached house, which had been converted into seven flats.
Most of the people managed to get out of their own before firefighters arrived at about 6.30pm but three people on the ground floor were led to safety by the crews.
It took about 15 minutes for the crews to get the flames under control in the property in Westwell Road, Streatham.
The fire, which started in the kitchen of the studio flat, is under investigation.

This mod, Italian two-tone omega necklace is finished with a beautiful box lock designed for reversible omegas, you may click on the second image to view the lock.

The Rancangelo Collection uses a technologically advanced process that makes for a more luminescent product.
Posted by R Brewster on 26th Nov 2016
I am pleased with product I wish it had come with a certificate of authenticity for ins. Purposes.
Posted by Barbara on 24th Dec 2015
My necklace arrived quickly. The quality is amazing. This was my first Sarraf purchase. I will certainly make future orders and recommend them highly.
Posted by Linda on 11th Dec 2015
I was looking to replace my 1mm omega that broke- I wear it 24/7, showering/tennis etc. After visiting a few stores and getting sticker shock I returned to Saraf for the upgraded model. I ordered the 4mm 16 inch which I thought was beautiful but decided to go for 18 inch since this will be a lifetime purchase I hope. Free shipping is awesome too however you must pay for your own returns- something to keep in mind. Since these are not normally stocked in stocked in stores it's hard to figure out exactly what works best.
Posted by Unknown on 27th Dec 2013
This product is not widely available in stores and after viewing several web sites, I was pleased to find yours as the prices and selection were better than all others. This was a replacement for one that was lost and I decided to go with the reversible rather than just the gold. My wife was very happy with the necklace. I am sure I will be back to your site at some point and would recommend to others.

"It's not that Ian needs the competition but obviously with a new coach working with him, we wanted to make sure that Tracey gets the feel for international competition and some experience working with Ian away from home in a World Cup environment," Hodge said.
"It's important she gets some feel for what it will be like in the national team with the world championship team coming up."
Thorpe's clashes with van den Hoogenband will be a step up from the low-key affair in Melbourne where the Australian experimented with the fast and furious 50m, scraping into the final and finishing fifth.
With an extra month's training and racing in his more familiar 100m, 200m and 400m events, Thorpe will be looking to return to the winner's podium.
It will be the first time Thorpe has raced van den Hoogenband over 200m since he defeated the Olympic champion at the 2001 world championships in Japan.
Thorpe and world 200m breaststroke champion Jim Piper are the two most experienced men in the Australian team, while Tarnee White will take the lead in the women.
Hodge is taking eight men and eight women, ranging in age from 16 to 22, to the two-day meetings in Paris, Stockholm and Berlin.
He warned not to expect world records or even medals, saying they were there for race practice and big-match experience leading up to the Australian championships in March and the world championships.
"These kids are world-class kids but it would be difficult to expect Ian to be breaking world records at a meet like this," he said. "But all of our swimmers will be expected to extend themselves and push their best times as close as possible.
"If we can get a high percentage of athletes into finals and our senior athletes into medal contention, then we'd be happy with that. Three competitions and 20,000kilometres in two weeks is a pretty big effort."

Magee Fire Department
Senator Mike Nozzolio recently had the opportunity to meet with members of the Magee Fire Department to see their new fire and emergency rescue equipment. As first responders for accidents on the nearby New York State Thruway, this equipment is critical when seconds count and a person's life is at stake. Senator Nozzolio was very proud to have helped the Department to purchase this equipment. Their dedication and commitment to protect the safety of their community is truly outstanding.

Local men serve in official capacity
Besides Knoch's appearance at Heinz Field on Saturday, there was some other local flavor at the stadium.
Three local men were part of the various officiating crews.
Tarentum's Chas Simoni Jr. worked the Class A game between Clairton and Sto-Rox.
West Deer's Joe Catanese worked the Knoch game, while Plum's Nick Morea was on the crew in the Class AA game when Jeannette played Aliquippa.
Simoni and Morea are part of a rare breed to have both played in and officiated in WPIAL playoff games.
Highlands was in the postseason with Simoni at quarterback and Morea played for Kiski Area in 1975 when the Cavaliers played in the first overtime game in WPIAL history against North Allegheny at Valley High School.
New Kensington's Frank Campbell played for Valley's 1981 playoff team and has officiated previous WPIAL championship games.
Piling up points
Knoch's third-quarter touchdown enabled the Knights to set the all-time Alle-Kiski Valley team scoring record, surpassing Ford City's 467 scored in 2006.
Knoch finished the season with 476 points, an average of 36.6 points per game.
Apollo's 1927 team, however, still holds the local mark for scoring average in a season. The A-K's pioneer football school averaged 39.2 per game, augmented by a 131-0 lambasting of Plumville.
Can't beat Montour
Yesterday was the third time the Spartans defeated an A-K team in the finals.
The Spartans knocked off Arnold in 1964 and Freeport the previous year.
Montour also beat Knoch in the 2007 semifinals, Highlands in '96 and Valley in '93, both first-round games.
Knoch handed a loss to Montour in the 1992 semifinals, and Valley beat the Spartans in the '98 opening round.

Crochet Snood (Archived)
This pattern is available for free.
"Almost any kind of yarn or crochet thread will work for this pattern.
For a finer texture, use crochet cotton, Knit-Cro-Sheen, or pearl cotton, with a "3" or "B" size crochet hook.
Heavier yarns (wool, acrylic, and blends) yield a lovely, rough texture. Use a "G" sized hook with heavier yarns."
Finished size: Approximately 17" in diameter. Comes to about the nape of the neck when worn; for a longer snood, repeat Row 15 until desired diameter is achieved.
Geocities has closed, however, Reocities has made the pattern available at the link listed. Reocities is a private archiving service and access may temporarily be unavailable. Please try again in a few minutes if you encounter a site outage.

Halloween--despite its solemn Celtic roots--has become a way for Americans to transgress social norms and toy with the idea of ghosts in a family-friendly fashion. But for some, spirits from another plane have always been a very real part of life on this plane. Why were colonists so fearful of New England "witches?" How is it that progressive social reformers found a home in the Spiritualist movement of the 19th century? Why do new media technologies almost always conjure talk of the undead? Can social upheaval help explain our history with the ineffable?
The American History Guys at BackStory Radio present "American Spirit: A History of the Supernatural," a one-hour broadcast on Americans' evolving relationship with the supernatural and the ways in which witches, spirits and ghosts have haunted our history.
Guests include:
- Nate DiMeo, creator of the popular "Memory Palace" podcast, on the Fox sisters-the small-town girls who triggered the 19th-century movement known as Spiritualism.
- Ann Braude, Harvard Divinity School, on the intersection of Spiritualism with 19th-century social reform movements.
- Cara Seekings, a medium, on connecting with the spirit world today.
BackStory is a production of VFH Radio at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities.
