While business success might sometimes seem as mysterious as alchemy, turning your efforts into gold can be a simple matter of the right routine. In our experience, there are a number of good habits that feature in the daily patterns of successful real estate agents. Read on to find out how making small changes to your everyday life can have a genuinely positive effect on your business.
Planning your activities for each day, and week, will help you prioritise your tasks. A good rule to follow when doing this is that if it's most important to your customers, it should be most important to you. Blocking out portions of time in your diary will help you map out tasks and keep a clear view of how your time is allocated. A shared email calendar will indicate to you and others when you are and aren't available. Label your time as 'busy' or 'do not disturb' to help you stay committed to the things you planned.
Keep your inbox clear
A high percentage of successful people, whether real estate agents or in other areas of business, say they begin their day by checking their emails. Get this, often unappealing, job done early and efficiently. Clear out unwanted messages, get all your responses drafted and make notes on any follow up actions. You might even choose to start your working day with this already out of the way, perhaps doing it over breakfast or on your commute to the office.
Text leads right away
A top tip from successful estate agents is to text, call or email any leads right away. There's no such thing as being too keen in this business. When you wake up, check for overnight leads and set a reminder to text them as soon as the working day begins. If you're out on a job though, do keep your phone on silent. Texting one client while you're meeting another can be as detrimental as texting on a dinner date!
Be active on social media
These days it certainly pays to be au fait with social media and business people who have honed this skill have a huge head start on lead generation. Social media is an easy way to show off your brand and expertise and, if you reach people and give them advice for free, you'll inspire confidence in them before you even meet. Liking and sharing others' content is another effective way to get your business noticed. Also try to reply to every comment on your social media accounts to show potential customers that you value what they have to say.
Give advice freely
Offering advice allows you to demonstrate your expertise and, as there's an excess of information on the internet, people may not want to pay for yours right away. A blog is an ideal platform for you to give tips, answer questions or simply share your insight into a subject. You can also show your personality while engaging with your clients, all before you've even arranged a face-to-face.

kiteboarding alone
i'm just wondering how many of you out there kiteboard alone? I was told it's dangerous going out there alone. i'm a noob who just barely able to stand on a board. i just need some tips on riding solo. it seems kinda hard to find a friend to go with these days.

Re: kiteboarding alone
I think it depends on your experience to be sure. Although there is always some risk, seasoned riders are adept and self launching and landing, can judge conditions well and are fine to go out and ride. Variables include location - some spots carry more risk than others. Knowledge of typical patterns and conditions is key also. Your ability is key. But my advice would be to be realistic about your skill level and experience, the time of year and where you are riding. Don't put yourself in a risky situation. So, at your level, might be best to ride, or at least be in the company of others...
Re: kiteboarding alone
I remember being a noob and launching at Crissy alone... went out lost my board instantly and came back in. This of course was in 06 when kiting was still kinda a secret. The locals were actually all watching me from the beach drinking beer prob saying "look at this dumbass"..... I was trying to catch a late day session in September. All on 04 fuels

All the time. I stay a little closer in but won't miss a session cause I'm alone.
Re: kiteboarding alone
same here.
I always give a call to my girlfriend or to a friend to let them know where I am and a time I should contact them when I'm out of the water.
I remember an epic session at third this passed winter.
Riding the front of a storm all by myself early on a monday.
Was getting out of the water every 30 minutes to call bruce.

Pekelharing family
Pekelharing, a Dutch Mennonite family. Dirk Jelisz Pekelharing (1729-64), living at Zaandam, North Holland, married to Maartje Cornelis Kalf, who made sails for ships and windmills and also compasses, may have been a Mennonite; it is certain that his wife and his descendants belonged to the Mennonite church. His son Cornelis Pekelharing (1760-1800), a sailmaker at Zaandam, belonged to the Oostzijde Mennonite congregation and is said to have been the only adherent of the Orangist party in his congregation, all other members being Patriots. Cornelis' son Dirk Pekelharing (1783-1857) and his grandson Cornelis Pekelharing (1811-73) were both physicians, Dirk practicing at 's-Graveland and his son Cornelis practicing at Zaandam. Another son of Dirk, Klaas Rutger Pekelharing (1825-85), was a Mennonite minister, serving at Middelburg and Vlissingen 1849-84. He wrote an important paper, "Bijdragen voor de Geschiedenis der Hervorming in Zeeland," which was published in Archief VI (1866) of the "Zeeuwsch Genootschap," and also the Levens-Bericht of S. de Wind (Middelburg, n.d.). Dirk Pekelharing (1839-1908), a son of Cornelis, was a pastor of the Mennonite Surhuisterveen congregation 1864-1908. Other sons of Cornelis were Baltus Hendrik Pekelharing (1841-?), professor at the technical University at Delft, and Adrianus Cornelis Pekelharing (1848-?), professor in the medical school of the University of Utrecht. Many members of the Pekelharing family served the Zaandam-Oostzijde congregation as deacons, as for example Willem Jan Pekelharing (1851-1933), a merchant who was also for many years a treasurer of the Zaansche Fonds for the pensioning of retired and disabled ministers.

Collection kicks off
The number of hungry families in Catawba County is growing, but a new grass roots relief organization is bringing families additional assistance by using a food donation method as simple as its name.
PORCH (People Offering Relief from Community Hunger) is a non-profit food assistance program designed to help those that are not fully served by existing relief organizations.
According to information provided by the Catawba County Department of Social Services, Catawba County had a 485 percent increase (from 4,956 to 28,970) in food assistance recipients between 2000 and 2012.
Even more alarming is the fact that 44.6 percent of those individuals are 20 years old or younger.
There are schools in the area where more than 95 percent of the children are on some type of food assistance program.
To read more of this story, pick up the Tuesday edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.

Just can't get my ipod loud enough
And then the radio is so loud it scares me half to death! My family got this for me to listen to podcasts, presentations, books, etc. during commute but I struggle with the volume level from any of my devices.
Pros: Changing colors is fun and can be a giant mood ring! Hands free works well. Bluetooth has paired easily with multiple devices. We have bought multiple radios/players from Crutchfield and they always are easy to choose by catalog or website are a great value, and arrive promptly.
Cons: As others have said not very intuitive. I still have to cycle thru a few settings each time because I can't remember how to set channels. Nothing I can't live with if I could just get the whole sound thing figured out.

All told, how much music did you record for the film? CS: I think it was around 70 minutes. You'd have to ask Doug Fake at Intrada Records who is re-mastering the entire score for a Fall release.

RAPID CITY, SD (KOTA TV) Meteorologist Colleen Hurley headed downtown Rapid City to see who was going to travel to see the upcoming total solar eclipse. She also showed the proper eyewear you need if you're going to try and look at the eclipse at any point.
The total solar eclipse is on August 21, 2017. It will cover the entire United State and you'll be able to see 100% coverage if you're in the path, which happens to be traveling through parts of Wyoming and Nebraska. It's called the path of totality and it's about 60 miles wide. In that path the sun will be 100% covered by the moon, creating a sense of total darkness.
A number of people Hurley spoke to around downtown are planning to travel to see this astronomical event. Hotels around Wyoming and Nebraska are already booked, if you plan to travel to see the eclipse, plan on driving down early or camping.
You will experience a 96% eclipse in Rapid City, so you don't have to travel to experience the event. Eclipse glasses must be ISO certified, you can buy them in local stores, or online. The glass certification is the same as welders glasses.

Founded in 1985 in Greensboro, NC by Stan Gingerich, Dutch Barns was born out of the belief that high quality storage buildings at a fair price were in demand. Stan was raised in a Mennonite home and began working with wood at a very early age. During his teens he worked with his father's carpentry crews building homes, where he would often hear his dad say, "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right." Today these values still live on at Dutch Barns.
Although our products and services have expanded to include gazebos, garages, sunrooms, room additions, renovations, workshops, studios, garden rooms, playhouses and home improvement, our employees are committed to providing the same level of quality that Dutch Barns has become so well known for. Now operating out of Greensboro, NC serving Central North Carolina.
If asked what really makes Dutch Barns different, one may think the response would be "quality", or "heritage", or "an old-fashioned work ethic". And while those attributes are important and certainly are pillars of Dutch Barns' history in the Triad, above all else, we strive for one thing: providing EXACTLY what the customer wants.

"Much appreciation for the building crew! At the end of the one day of construction (!!!) my yard was as tidy as the day before - as if the beautiful gazebo had appeared by magic. WOW! The construction and detail of the gazebo itself still continue to amaze me - at a price that fit so nicely in my budget."

Sony's LCD TVs haven't shone as radiantly as we might have expected of late. But that's about to change, because the Sony KDL-32W4000 is as bright a star as the company has yet produced.
It sports an unusually swanky design that combines a black bezel with a transparent panel along its bottom edge, while a long narrow speaker bar holds on to the translucent section for dear life.
Picture Frame mode
Connections include three v1.3 HDMIs and a USB port you can use to get digital photographs onto the TV's screen.
A Picture Frame mode allows the TV to effectively become a painting when you're not watching it from a selection of artworks that are preloaded into its built-in memory. You can even download your favourite images to the TV's memory if you don't want to leave a storage device permanently attached to the USB port.
While this TV-as-artwork idea makes sense for people wall-mounting their sets, leaving a set on permanently, albeit at much reduced power, as happens in Picture Frame Mode, won't endear the TV to environmentalists.
Of the 32W4000's other features, the most important is Sony's new Bravia Engine 2 image processing, with its elements aimed at boosting contrast, colours and sharpness. But this is aided and abetted by a 24fps True Cinema mode that's designed to optimise the TV's performance when watching Blu-ray movies.
Dazzling pictures
Feed it some decent high-definition video and it's immediately apparent that the 32W4000 is easily Sony's best 32in set to date.
Colours are dazzlingly vibrant and totally natural in tone and blends are produced without the slightest trace of striping. They're also counterpointed by some superb black levels that are both deep and packed with shadow detail.
The single most striking attribute of the picture, though, is its clarity. The sharpness and detail of its HD pictures is mesmerising, proving that having a full HD resolution in a 32in LCD TV can make a genuinely noticeable difference.
Powerful audio
The only aspect that really could be improved with the HD picture quality is its motion handling, as a lack of 100Hz means there's a touch of blur from time to time.
There's room for improvement, too, with the Sony KDL-32W4000's standard-def performance, which suffers with slightly more video noise than we're entirely comfortable with.
Happily, we can end on another high, though, with the Sony's sound, which possesses levels of power, range and clarity that beggars belief given how innocuous the set's speaker 'bar' looks.

In another thread (that grew quite unwieldy) the question came up about exhaust venting
Robert Riversong: "the most foolish way to duct an exhaust fan is straight up through the roof"
John Brooks: "It seems to me that in a heating climate (or during the heating season)... It would be desirable to have the "passive NPP" high. This would make the house more "negative" and would reduce (or eliminate) positive pressure near the top of the enclosure."
At this time I brought up the issue with condensation, wind, and dampers & that they should be vented out through a gable end if possible, if not then the roof but never through a soffit. This was replied to with a "I did say "During the Heating Season"" so I thought maybe we should take a look at this
First, condensation is a big concern during the "Heating Season" as these fans are transporting humid warm air up & passing through a super cold area
Wind is a big issue which is one reason why chimneys have to be vented so high
The final issue is the dampers, if one was to get stuck open, you would have a nice big hole or open chimney transporting all that nice conditioned hot air straight out of the house 24x7.
So what say you???
Views: 13477
John B. - I might be blind, but I don't see where John N. said it makes the house more positive though I did catch where he said it runs 24x7 - which is not always true & bad to do in many cases
An HRV/ERV does not make a house more positive or negative as it is a balanced system (which does not mean that it will always exhaust the same amount air coming in or vice versa as other factors come into play).
Next layouts are not done that way, it is based on amount needed & optimal layout (where are the bedrooms, kitchens, baths, etc...)
Also, the pascal chart you guys are working from is only good for a lab / theoretical modeling & not indicative of real life - summer stack effect, no stack effect, wintertime stack effect, the wind all throw that model right out the door
John B,
I threw out a quick comment about changing the NPP, which you commented on. Changing does not mean reversing (making the house positive).
Disclaimer: I believe Air Sealing is more important than insulation. I believe the ASHRAE position of mechanical ventilation in every home. I also believe uncomfortable people do lots of things that are energy intensive to obtain comfort.
A 3 story home. Mine. Prior to the addition of the ERV (CZ 4) the difference between my office on level 1 and the top level where our bedroom is, would average 8 - 12° F. Usually, a significant amount for comfort and a cause of increased energy bills. After the ERV install (and change to continuous) the average difference is 2 - 4° F. We haven't had any nights below 35°F since the project finished. So actual winter conditions are not considered.
In this case it was a comfort issue, in addition to the IAQ reasoning.
At the same time; the walls were insulated, the attic went from R-11 to R-50. ACH @ 50 went from 8.1 to 5.5. My goal is 3.0; which is Dr. Joe's magic number meaning I have all the big holes. Since we finished the major work, I have some additional minor work to complete. I believe I will get 1 to 1.5 ACH at 50 reduction from those small items.
I recognize the change in the ranger of ∆T are not solely D/T the ERV, because the house is a system and other work was done. I do attribute the effects of the ERV to an ultimate reduction of energy usage and an increase in comfort.
The ERV discharges 100% of the incoming air at the top floor. It takes 100% of exhaust from the bottom level. The utility room on the bottom level according to my wife is less musty smelling since the install. The standard E/H RV install into the return and supply ducts would not result in the energy decrease I expect. Two weeks ago, we had a week of very temperate weather. Lows in the 50's and high 40's. Highs in the 70's. The heat pump was set to cool at 85 for the entire 168+ hour period. The highest temperature the house reached during the day was 74 - the lowest was 70. Without the continuous running ERV - the temperature set would have been bumped daily to kick the AC on. Musty, stuffy dead air in many homes results in Energy Intensive interventions, such as changing the 'stat set point to freshen the air; or continuous running of the blower fan, instead of the E/H RV fan. The unit is a Fan Tech 704 model.
John N.,
I agree with your disclaimer.
and thank you for the new details.
In my last post I should have said "your suggestion to make a 3 story house MORE positive".
you said:"
Using an H/E RV to put fresh air in high and exhaust low would lower the NPP and decrease the temperature difference."
This made me think that you saw an advantage to lowering the NPP ?
Since I don't know much about HRV's ... I just assumed they could be adjusted in order to make the house more or less Negative ?
In other words you could manipulate the location of the NPP by adjusting the HRV ?
During the Heating Season... why wouldn't you want almost all of your enclosure to be at a slightly negative pressure WRTO?
and thank you for trying to help me understand
Most Recovery Ventilators have a fixed capacity. You can decrease that with dampers. You may wish to use one large (ex 130 cfm) unit, a smaller size (ex 40 cfm) or several depending on the needs of the home.
You need to look seriously at the existing leakage, the proposed decrease, future efforts to decrease and apply the ASHRAE 62.2 calculations to all these numbers. Typically a 2K sf home with an ACH at 50 of 5 - 7 will not require many CFM in mechanical ventilation. Get down to 3 ACH at 50 and you will need around 30 CFM.
Then look at what is going on in the home. What comfort concerns? What activity? My first call out to a high humidity problem in a house related directly to lifestyle choices of the family.
1. She drank hot tea as I drink coffee, continuously. So Teapot on the stove and boiling; no hood, no spot ventilation.
2. She dried her husband and her son's overalls in the basement. Summer, winter, didn't matter. Discussed using a clothes line outside. Nope!
Recommendation: Install Spot ventilation in kitchen, 2 bathrooms and in the Family room with the clothes drying activity. (They had a supply side air cycler in place.)
I have not been called back to verify anything. My feeling after presenting the report was they were not happy at having their lifestyle choices pointed out as the problem and not something simple like a new furnace or more insulation to solve the problem. I don't drown horses.
John N. you said a mouth full there. "My feeling after presenting the report was they were not happy at having their lifestyle choices pointed out as the problem and not something simple like a new furnace or more insulation to solve the problem."
Finding workable solutions that improve the situation and WILL BE installed is a real challenge some times. Whether it is cost of convenience, we have to be able to convince them to do it.
I always use examples of how lifestyle choices effect energy usage. One of my favorite is if the family has 3 HS football players, they are standing at the open refrigerator most of the time, and when they are not, mom and dad have the door open reloading. compared to 3 HS cheerleaders, in the bathroom with hair dryers, curling irons etc. I did in this case and they followed that one. But the attitude changed when we moved on the humidity causes.
John N.,
were they having humidity problems in the winter, summer or both?
since the home already "had a supply side air cycler in place"....
did you measure the flow at the supply side and make sure it was calibrated?
assuming the problem was during winter......why didn't you just increase the run time of the air cycler?
please pardon my ignorance...I am just trying to learn
The home was having humidity problems summer and winter. They were getting worse. They had gone from uncomfortable and 1 dehumidifier running continuously to 2 dehumidifiers running continuously and still uncomfortable.
I would have tested the air cycler, if they had elected to proceed. I recommended it testing be done.
I have had no further contact from them.
I think you're overthinking this passive NPP issue, since it's "passive" only in strictly static conditions, changing all the time under real conditions, and far less important than almost any other design consideration. Active NPP, however, is always worth considering in ventilation system design.
Now, if you really want to "stack" the variables, consider that the outside air is dynamic, with falling high pressure ridges and rising low pressure troughs, falling air becoming warmer and rising air becoming cooler (yes, meteorologists speak of rising warm air columns), and wind dynamics....

SPRINGFIELD – Will the real Pat Quinn stand up?
One of the trademarks of the old pot-stirring Pat Quinn — the one who existed before he became governor — is you knew where he stood.
You may not have always have liked that rabble rouser's positions, but his resoluteness was admirable.
Today? Not so much.
Take a look at how Quinn handled an interview with another reporter who dared to ask about whether the governor supports keeping the "temporary" 67 percent income tax hike:
Quinn: "Well I think we have to deal with the pension reform, which is the No. 1 fiscal, financial issue."
Reporter: "But ... you campaigned on raising the income tax. Should it stay in place?"
Quinn: "I have worked very hard on pension reform. I know the committee that I proposed ..."
In journalism, that's what we call a non-answer.
Voters deserve to know where their chief executive — who is seeking re-election — stands on one of the most important issues facing the state of Illinois.
But we're left in the dark.
I liked the old Pat Quinn better.
That Pat Quinn wasn't ashamed to take a position. Apparently, that's not the case anymore. And his habits are rubbing off on the aides reporting to him.
Today, his office packs in more flip-flops than a group of college spring breakers heading to South Padre Island.
Don't believe me?
A few weeks ago, I asked all of the gubernatorial candidates where they stood on a constitutional amendment being promoted by GOP hopeful Bruce Rauner. The measure would limit the terms of state lawmakers, reduce the number of senators and slightly increase the number of House members.
Here's how a Quinn spokesman responded to my queries:
Me: "So I could say he (Quinn) opposes the amendment as currently written because it includes expanding the size of the House?"
Spokesman: "Yes."
That would seem a straightforward and unambiguous answer. You can read the full email exchange on ilnews.org.
But after my article was published, another Quinn aide started telling newspaper editors that wasn't what was said.
When I got wind of this, I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for his emails to find out just what was said.
It turns out, the administration was falsely claiming that it had never made a statement that it had.
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
After all, it's possible the original spokesman misspoke or the governor changed his position. Or perhaps there wasn't adequate communication between two spokesmen.
So I asked Quinn spokesman Abdon Pallasch to clarify where the governor stands on the amendment.
He declined.
So at the end of the day, we don't know where the governor stands on two important issues: whether the tax hike should be made permanent or a proposed constitutional amendment creating term limits for lawmakers.
The people of Illinois deserve to know where candidates stand on issues.
Without this information, voters can't make informed decisions.
When the administration chooses obfuscation, it shows contempt not only for the voters, but also for our democratic system.
Don't the people of Illinois deserve better?

Dragon Wars (UK - BD RB)
Our Scott McKenzie thinks D-War is a D-Saster made by people in D-Nial...
When reporter Ethan Kendrick is called to investigate a suspected terrorist incident in Los Angeles, he is reminded of a day in his youth when he met an old man with magic powers who told him that one day he would play a role in saving the world from Korean monster called the Imoogi. He meets a girl called Sarah, who he suspects is the reincarnation of a girl who is reborn every five hundred years that presents the Imoogi with the opportunity to become a dragon and take over the universe. Make sense? Thought not…
Deep within the heart of Dragon Wars (also known as D-War) is a Korean legend, but somewhere along the line writer/director Shim Hyung-rae turned the story into a screenplay that makes no sense and secured enough funding to make this the most expensive Korean movie ever made. According to IMDb, the budget was just over $75 million, but there is nothing on the screen that is worth more than a Sci-Fi Channel movie of the week. In fact, it's worth a hell of a lot less than even that relatively low standard.
In order to expand on the legend and give us a bit more action on-screen, the director dreamed up additional monsters and characters. The only problem with this is that there is no explanation where they came from and the very fact that one of the monsters is equipped with rocket launchers on its back (in 1507 no less!) makes no sense whatsoever. Now, I'm not usually one to dwell on a point but just have a look at the first screenshot again. Monsters with frickin' rocket launchers! If I was seven years old, I'm sure this would be the second best movie I've ever seen (right after Transformers), but I'm not seven years old. I'm twenty-nine and I can quite confidently say this is pushing for the title at the opposite end of the scale.
To say the plot has a few holes would be an understatement. The movie opens with a flashback within a flashback that serves only to get as much exposition out of the way as quickly as possible. However, the incoherent plot is just as lost on the characters themselves as it is on the audience, with the line 'what are you talking about?' being used not once but twice by different characters early on. Throughout the movie there are lines thrown in (probably in post-production) to explain away huge gaps in continuity and logic, indicating that this has either been cut down from a three-hour epic or it was just a load of old tosh from day one and this was a last desperate attempt to salvage the story.
The only saving grace is one scene where our heroes are waiting to get picked up from the top of a building and the big bad snake crawls up to get them. That's the image on the poster and the only time when the movie even threatens to be anything more than a bad big snake movie. Immediately after that scene we get into a battle between the army and monsters with frickin' rocket launchers and for no reason our heroes disappear from the action. It seems to me that everyone got a bit carried away with the idea of helicopters versus pterodactyls and forgot what the movie was supposed to be about.
The opening narration hints at a fight between a good big snake and the bad big snake, but the goodie doesn't turn up until the final scene. It wasn't clear to me whether it was being lazy or if it wasn't supposed to turn up until something magical happened, but I'm certainly not interested in watching Dragon Wars again to find out. With the massive budget, it's a big surprise to find such a low-rent cast. Robert Forster in particular should know better, with his performance here a million miles away from his Oscar-nominated turn in Jackie Brown. However, there is something about Dragon Wars that stops me awarding it a solitary point out of ten. It's bad, but I'd rather watch it than The Marine, another recent Blu-ray stinker that I had the pleasure of reviewing. Something tells me that quote's not going to make it onto the DVD cover though.
Dragon Wars is presented in 2.40:1 (1080p /AVC) and I have to say there are no real problems with the quality of what is presented here, with a bright picture that does justice to a colourful movie. The picture is sharp and unsurprisingly there aren't any obvious artefacts so if you're a fan of the movie you should add another point or two onto my video score. However, I am compelled to assess the whole visual experience and I can't complete my assessment without mentioning the dodgy CGI. The Imoogi doesn't look too bad on its own, but everything else monster-related looks woefully out of place and random patches of dust are used to cover up where a more ambitious crew would have shown more detail in the on-screen destruction.
One thing that the TrueHD soundtrack has got going for it is that it's loud, especially when the Imoogi is smashing up Los Angeles. Unfortunately the volume seems to hide the fact that there's not as much use of directional sound as I would have expected from a big budget monster movie. Again, this goes some way to giving the impression that you're watching a TV movie, and not something that needs to be appreciated in the cinema with a state of the art sound system. The music is pretty underwhelming and while I may have plenty of problems with the quality of the lines that come out of the actors' mouths, there's nothing wrong with the way it sounds.
No Blu-ray exclusive extras here I'm afraid, and not many non-exclusive extras either. '5000 Years in the Making' is the making-of featurette that focuses heavily on interviews with the director and footage of the world premiere. It's pretty amazing that no one from the cast and crew stand in front of the crowds of eager fans and offers them their money back or at least a few words of apology. I can only assume they were swept up in the excitement of the premiere. We also get a gallery of conceptual art and a comparison between footage from the movie and storyboards, but overall this set of extras doesn't offer much to enhance the viewing experience.
If pretty people with nice hair running away from a big CGI snake (or monsters with frickin' rocket launchers) is your kind of thing, then Dragon Wars ticks all the boxes. If you're looking for a coherent plot, decent acting and convincing special effects, you may like to consider shopping around first before settling on this messy production. There are no exclusive extras here and while there are no obvious problems with the video or audio quality, you'd be hard pressed to find significant differences between this Blu-ray release and an upscaled standard DVD.

Sai's Glam Girl Pad
Name: Sai Sankoh, Nurse and editor of Because I Am Fabulous blog
Location: Herndon, Virginia
Size: 1000 sq ft
Years lived in: 1 month, Renting
Old Hollywood glamor finds its way to the suburbs of Virginia in Sai Sankoh's glitzy apartment. Tufted velvet sofas and chairs mingle with faux animals skin rugs, leather and zebra prints. Sai proves that sometimes a little decadence can be a good thing. Especially when done on a budget. "I like to invest in quality furniture, but I love to get a great price. I'm all about negotiating a great price for something if I know it's worth it."
As the editor of a popular fashion site, Sai has an affinity for all things chic. Her home offers an eclectic mix of Hollywood glam and vintage flavor. And every room presents a shiny object: the mirrored cabinet in the dining room, the crystal chandelier and metallic balls on the table, the sparkling candles and candle stick holders. And the shoes. We can't forget the shoes.
To accommodate her ever-expanding wardrobe, Sai converted an extra bedroom into a covetable walk-in closet. The shelving in the closet was custom made with the help of family and friends, and is filled with stunning, multi-colored print dresses from an array of designers and pair after pair of shoes, displayed like rare jewels. Sitting at the top is the most prized pair: the black and gold heels by Alexander McQueen. But despite the potential an extra room would have in storing most of her wardrobe, the big draw to the apartment for Sai was actually the bathroom. The bronze wallpaper and stone countertop are both warm and elegant, and the sink bowl is a rich chocolate color that adds depth. Copper and gold accent the space, and a mirror bordered with elephants adds a whimsical touch.
Sai was able to achieve the glamorous looks she's always wanted by mixing antiques from the Golden Era of Hollywood with accents found at more contemporary stores to help round out the look. Her affinity for pops of red and love for dance come through in the vintage posters of Spanish dancers displayed throughout her living room. And the lucite dining chairs give the room an instant throwback feel. And Sai, of course, has her best accessory: her dear friend and fellow fashion maven Jean-Claude, helping to fluff pillows and secure any loose ends along the way.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
MY Style/Inspiration: Old Hollywood Glamor. Nannette Lepore's home is a mixture of glamor and femininity. Kelly Wearstler is a genius, and I wish I could have all her pieces in my home!!
Favorite Element: My couch and matching chair! I got them from this wonderful lady who used them only on special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas, so they are simply flawless. She just got married and she and her husband are getting rid of their individual furniture to buy pieces together, which is so amazing. The pieces meant so much to her that the next day, she called to find out if the couch and chair were doing well in their new home.
Biggest Challenge: I had a lot of pieces in my other place, and I just relocated and had to eliminate some of my favorite pieces, which was tough.
What Friends Say: Chic… Different…
Biggest Embarrassment: My walk-in bedroom closet is still piled with clothes that I have not sorted out yet, and no one is allowed in there!
Proudest DIY: My dining room chandelier. It's an antique from a restaurant in Texas and it's so old and I am still on the hunt for pieces for it. It blew up the first time it was installed — I had to get new wires in it and they would not fit through the hardware, so I had to use a needle and a thread and vaseline to pull them through. It was hilarious!! I love it so much and it has taken so much of my time, but I am still working on it!
Biggest Indulgence: My closet. Being a fashion blogger I am addicted to clothes, and it's just my little solace.
Best Advice: Be comfortable. I try to make sure every part of my house reflects my style and it is a comfortable place to do my work.
Dream Sources: I just joined the Gilt Groupe and I love the pieces. Also One Kings Lane is going to be my new fave place!

Father knows best. Glenn Lincoln's Westport High girls defeated son Craig Lincoln's Old Colony squad 53-23 Monday afternoon.
WESTPORT — Father knows best.
Glenn Lincoln's Westport High girls basketball team defeated son Craig Lincoln's Old Colony squad 53-23 Monday afternoon at Cariglia Gymnasium. The Wildcats (12-4, 8-1 Mayflower Large) jumped to an 8-0 lead to start the game and broke it open with an 18-2 run in the second half.
"At halftime we said the third quarter is either our killer or helps us break out," said Glenn Lincoln. "We got a stop the first trip down, got a basket on our end and we just went from there."
A fast break basket by Old Colony guard Alex Gordon cut the Westport advantage to 28-15 with five minutes left in the third quarter. Over the next three minutes, the Wildcats got a pair of 3-pointers from senior forward Layla Moran and three baskets from sophomore guard Brittany Arruda to make the score 40-15. Westport closed out the quarter with a basket and a pair of free throws from sophomore forward Sam Medeiros, giving the Wildcats a 44-15 advantage heading into the final frame.
"Layla (Moran) started hitting the outside shot," said Glenn Lincoln. "Brittany (Arruda) drove the lane and Sam (Medeiros) didn't make a basket in the first half then started getting some in the second half. It was a lot of people contributing."
The Cougars next basket didn't come until a baseline jumper by Amanda Frey with 6:44 left in the fourth quarter made the score 46-17.
"We started off very slow today," said Craig Lincoln. "We didn't have good ball rotation. We came out in the second quarter had much better ball rotation, but we weren't hitting any shots. If you're not hitting shots no matter how good you move the ball can't get back in the game."
Old Colony (8-5, 5-3 Mayflower Small) got its first basket on a Courtney Guidry jumper in the paint with 3:45 left in the opening quarter. They trailed 24-9 at the break before going on a 6-2 run early in the third quarter, cutting the Westport lead to 13 points.
Arruda led the way for the Wildcats with 20 points. Medeiros added 14 and freshman Reaghan Tripp chipped in with seven. Guidry was the Cougars' high scorer, finishing with six points.
ALL IN THE FAMILY: This was the first time that Glenn Lincoln's Wildcats swept a season series over Craig Lincoln's Cougars. Westport defeated Old Colony 37-25 on Dec. 27. The younger Lincoln took over as head coach at Old Colony in the mid-2000's.
COUGARS GEARING UP FOR POSTSEASON: Craig Lincoln hopes games against quality opponents like Westport will pay dividends should the Cougars reach the state tournament. Old Colony needs two wins in its final seven games to reach the playoffs. "We know Westport is one of the top dogs we have to face," said Craig Lincoln. "I want the girls to be ready for the tournament when we get there. This was a learning experience for my girls. If they learn something I'm okay with it."
UP NEXT: Westport hosts Bristol-Plymouth and Old Colony travels to Avon on Wednesday at 5 p.m.
Old Colony: Kaleigh DeTerra 0-1-1, Alex Gordon 2-1-5, Amanda Frey 2-0-4, Carly Ciccatelli 1-0-2, Hannah Medeiros 1-1-3, Alex Aspden 1-0-2, Courtney Guidry 3-0-6. Totals: 10-3-23.
Westport: Sam Medeiros 2-10-14, Brittany Arruda 8-2-20, Layla Moran 2-0-6, Alyssa Kochman 2-0-4, Allison Abgrab 1-0-2, Reaghan Tripp 3-1-7. Totals: 18-13-53.
Old Colony 6 3 6 8 — 23
Westport 15 9 20 9 — 53
3-point field goals: W-Arruda 2, Moran 2.

My name is Jenn and I have an 8 year old who has both CM and SM. He has gone through the first and second decompressions (18 months apart) and as of now is doing well. I do have a few questions. Does anyone who has a child with cm/sm deal with bladder and bowel issues? My little guy is on ditropan for the bladder issues, but the bm accidenta are another issue. I just got off the phone with his ped and we are going to make sure he isnt constipated. But I wonder how many other kiddos out there with cm/sm have to deal with this??
Anything you may be able to add would be greatly appreciated.
I am looking foward to "meeting" you all. It is going to be nice to have a group of people to talk to that know whats going on, and to have the understanding that you cant find with people who don't deal with cm/sm on a daily basis.
Thanks again.

What can I do?
Ok, I hate taking meds while pregnant but I have got to get some sleep. I'm exhausted, and yet I can't sleep. I lay down and can't get comfortable, toss, turn, stare at the clock, and wind up on here all night (I know, it'd be easier to sleep if I'd turn the **** 'puter off and go to bed!) I really think it's a viscious cycle...I'm depressed and can't sleep, but the fatigue is making me more depressed. I'm so tired I'm having headaches and dizzy spells...but then I sit down or lay down and my mind is racing and I just can't sleep. I can't get in to see my MW before Monday but I did leave a message for her to call me today so I can talk to her about all of this...it's just not healthy for me to be feeling this way. I haven't been eating right either...nothing is appetizing...I stand in front of the refrigerator and stare and every time I start to eat something, it just turns my stomach. I mean, I'm a big girl so I had some reserves but I'm 34 weeks pregnant and have gained less than 20 pounds and in fact, I'm pretty sure that I've lost about 5 pounds in the past two weeks because I just can't seem to make myself eat anything. I'm pretty sure the MW's going to want to start me on anti-depressants again. I think I'm also going to ask her to send me for bloodwork because I am prone to anemia and that often makes me tired and makes me lose my appetite and could be part of the dizzy spells. What else can I do? Tonight I was bound and determined that I was going to bed and was not getting up no matter what. I laid down when DJ did a little before 9 and did finally fall asleep, but then about 10:30, he woke up crying (still don't know what was wrong with him) and it took me an hour to get him settled again and by then I was good and awake. I got up to use the restroom and wound up "checking in" here and now it's after 4 a.m....
So are there herbal remedies that are safe while I'm pregnant that might help me relax and sleep? I'm almost positive that I was told Benedryl was safe during pregnancy but I can't remember for sure...that's the same active ingredient in OTC sleeping pills so are those safe? Any other ideas for how to just turn my mind off and get some rest? Thank you!!!

Re: What can I do?
My friends MW told her to take skull cap. she told me is knocks her out fast but she still wakes up sometimes. she is like 24 weeks pregnant now. I took unisom tablets when iw as preggy with my last 2 pregnncies. My MW suggested them for me as well. I oly needed half a tablet. the meds in teh unisom tablets are differnt from the liquid gels. just FYI
ask your mw waht you can do.
As far as wt gain goes i dont know how to help you there. with m yoldest i gained 12 lbs in 40 weeks,( 7 lbs 9 oz baby) second was 7 lbs in 40 weeks 3 days, ( 6 lbs 15 oz baby)and my third was 4 lbs in 41 weeks. ( 6 lbs 5 oz baby)
With my older 2 i was told by my perinatiologist to drink protien shakes if i didnt want to eat. and to make them with ice cream and fresh fruit for extr goodness.
Good luck mama, you are down to the last weeks

Re: What can I do?
Unisom - or Benedryl (they're the same active ingredient) is safe in small doses. It's actually a great anti-nausea drug, which is why my ob recommended it to me w/dd.
I know a lot of people like drinking warm mil before bed. I've heard that it does have a sleep-inducing effect, but I don't know if that's just a wive's tale. Worth a try, though.

Re: What can I do?
I didn't get to read your whole post thoroughly, but i wanted to say that my midwife recommended taking a warm bath with some lavender eo, then taking a glass of water with some valerian tincture drops (find these at the HFS) and going straight to bed. I used to take a book and read for a few minutes before covering up, usually Birthing from within or some other inspiring birth book. She said the key is to go straight to bed after drinking the valerian because it will relax you but you can't be up doing dishes or something after you drink it. It worked for me most of the time.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Rachael Wilmoth was King College's workhorse in Wednesday's doubleheader with Northern Kentucky University after she pitched all but one-third of an inning in the team's split. After the Lady Tornado fell in game one, 4-1, Wilmoth finished what she had started to help lead King to a 6-5 win in the finale.
GAME ONE: NKU 4, King 1
A four-run fourth inning from the Norse made the difference in game one. Northern Kentucky had only one hit off of sophomore hurler Rachael Wilmoth (Morristown, Tenn.) leading into the fourth frame before they put up four runs on six hits. Kaylin Steinmetz led the inning off with a solo home run over to left before the bottom of the Norse lineup put up the remaining three runs on four singles.
The King offense struggled at the plate, striking out 15 times against starting pitcher Emily Schwaeble (7-1). The Tornado were turned aside in order each of the first six innings but spoiled the no-hitter and the shutout in the seventh. Christina Melcher (Orlando, Fla.) led the inning off with a solid single up the middle and with two out, the Tornado gave the Norse a scare when they put the tying run at the plate. Kendall Brabson (Bean Station, Tenn.) got her bat going with a single to right that scored Melcher from third on the play and Fallon Thomas drew a walk. Tiffany Harris represented the tying run at the plate but took a called third strike to end the game, 4-1.
Outside of the fourth inning, Wilmoth (4-4) allowed only two hits and five base runners in the loss.
GAME TWO: NKU 5, King 6
King survived a late scare after taking a 6-3 lead into the seventh inning when Rachael Wilmoth came out of the bullpen after starting the game. After allowing a two-out, run-scoring single to Schwaebel in the sixth inning the Tornado made the move to the bullpen where Kendall Brabson recorded the final out of the inning by forcing Dee Dee Davis to pop out to Chrissy Melcher at shortstop.
Brabson walked the first three batters of the seventh inning and with no outs, King went back to Wilmoth inside the circle to finish the deal. Jennifer Farris hit a sacrifice fly to right, allowing one run to score and put the go-ahead run at the plate. Wilmoth battled with Mandi McQueen and on a 3-2 count, painted the corner and froze her for out number two. An error in the field kept the inning alive and allowed NKU to draw within one run, but Cassie Ringstaff held down the hot corner and recorded the final out, fielding a ground ball hit down the line and stepping on the bag to end the game for a 6-5 King victory.
The Lady Tornado's bats were much more active in game two, pounding out six runs on nine hits and one NKU error. They highlighted the game with a five-run fifth inning where four of their five hits in the frame were for extra bases, including Fallon Thomas' second home run of the season.
Stephanie Rodriguez legged out a booted grounder at second base and came around to score on Chrissy Melcher's double to deep center field that rattled off the base of the wall. With two outs, King posted four straight hits, starting with Christy Kooch (Knoxville, Tenn.) matching Melcher with a RBI double to center to give the Lady Tornado a 3-2 lead. Kendall Brabson yanked a deep fly ball to left that rang off of the wall in right, scoring Kooch. Fallon Thomas (Bristol, Va.) stepped up to the plate and after fouling off three straight pitches, blasted a 3-2 delivery over the scoreboard in left center field to extend the King lead to 6-2.
Melcher extended her current hit streak to nine games after going 1-for-3 in game one and 2-for-4 in the finale. She is one game away from matching Stephanie Rodriguez's 10-game hitting streak that stands as the team season high. In game two, Christy Kooch and Kendall Brabson both notched a pair of hits while seven of the nine starters all contributed with at least one base knock. Rachael Wilmoth earned the win while striking out five Norse hitters, increasing her record this season to 5-4.
King, now 7-9 overall, will take a short break away from the King College Softball Complex with a doubleheader at Lincoln Memorial on Thursday, March 8, beginning at 2:00 p.m. They will return home for their next eight games, beginning with a doubleheader in league play against Belmont Abbey on March 17.

Michigan isnt playing.
Neither is Boston University.
And a small school from Connecticut Quinnipiac is the top seed in this years NCAA hockey tournament.
Welcome to college hockey, where tradition doesnt count for nearly as much as a good goalie.
Quinnipiac (27-7-5) comes into the tournament, which will start Friday, with perhaps the best in Eric Hartzell, a Hobey Baker finalist, who has an impressive 1.52 goals-against average this season. The Bobcats also have a No. 1 ranking for the seventh consecutive week and the fewest losses in college hockey.
But they are far from the hottest or most confident team on the ice, after going just 4-3 in March and losing 4-0 to Brown in the Eastern College Athletic Conference semifinals last weekend. They rebounded with a 3-0 shutout of Yale in the consolation game, but still there are questions about the teams finish.
Quinnipiac will play red-hot Canisius (19-18-5) in the first round of the East Regional in Providence, R.I., on Saturday. Those are two of 16 teams to qualify for the tourney. The weekend will produce four regional champions, and then the Frozen Four is April 11-13 in Pittsburgh.
Its not at all like the basketball tournament, Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said. Its not like one vs. 64. One vs. 16 is a big difference, and I think in the game of hockey, with the way goaltending is, anybody can beat anybody.
Canisius comes into the matchup with the NCAAs longest active winning streak, eight, including a 7-2 win over Mercyhurst to take the Atlantic Hockey title.
Weve been competitive with so many teams, said Golden Griffins goalie Tony Capobianco, who made 34 saves in the AHA final. So many games couldve gone the other way. We had a couple of close losses we couldve won. I feel like the guys just started clicking at the right time.
Because Quinnipiac is not, Pecknold brought his players into the film room this week, where they watched games from earlier this season, when they played 21 in a row without a loss. The idea, he said, was to show them what they did well then, what they arent doing well now, and how they can regain that earlier form.
We need to get back on track with our confidence and our level of play so that we can win a game in the NCAA Tournament, he said.
Quinnipiac isnt the only team going into the tournament looking to regain some momentum. Minnesota, the top seed in the West, lost 2-0 to Colorado College in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association tournament. The Gophers are looking for a second consecutive trip to the Frozen Four and their first national title since 2003.
St. Cloud State (WCHA), Miami (Central Collegiate Hockey Association) and Niagara (AHA), like Quinnipiac, all won regular-season conference titles this season but fell in league tournaments.
Notre Dame, the No. 1 seed in the Midwest, went through a month-long stretch when it was 2-7-1 but finished 7-0-2 in its last nine games and won the CCHA tourney title over Michigan.
Union, Wisconsin, and UMass-Lowell, the top seed in the Northeast region, all come in riding six-game winning streaks. The UMass-Lowell River Hawks, out of the Hockey East, are the only top seed to win both their regular-season and conference tournament titles.
I think theres a time where you have to say, Why not Lowell? River Hawks coach Norm Bazin said. And I think thats this year.
UMass-Lowell will play Wisconsin at 2:30 p.m. Friday in the first Northeast Regional semifinal, followed by Denver and New Hampshire at 6 p.m. Friday. The other semifinals Friday come from the West Regional: Yale vs. Minnesota at noon and North Dakota vs. Niagara at 3:30 p.m.
Defending champion Boston College (22-11-4), another favorite out of the Hockey East, has been playing the postseason without coach Jerry York, who is recovering from a detached retina. The Eagles hope to have York back behind the bench as they go for their fourth national title in six years.
They wont have to face cross-town rival Boston University this season. The Terriers, who lost to UMass-Lowell in the Hockey East tournament final, lead a class of big names who didnt make the field. Michigan, which had been to 22 consecutive tournaments, is another.
I think just about anybody in the field this year could win it, Minnesota coach Don Lucia said. College hockey has been kind of all over the map this year.

I'm the stock exchange is only just reopened today after a couple weeks and it's hardly a great situation spelling ... as many people as Iverson said the worst crisis on the island for years ...

Traders might be scanning the levels on shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA). After a recent indicator check, we have seen that Span A is currently higher than Span B. This indicator position may have traders watching for a bullish move.
Individual investors may be going to great lengths to make their hard earned money work for them in the stock market. The stock market can be a scary place for beginners with little to no experience. Studying the ins and outs of the markets can help provide a solid base for the new investor to work with. Many people will jump into the game thinking they are going to easily make large profits in the market. Although this is a possibility, many investors will learn the hard way that sustaining profits over the long-term can be a tough endeavor. Studying all the different company information can take up a lot of time and energy. Some people just don't have the time they would like to put into stock market study.
Keeping an eye on Moving Averages, the 50-day is 78.52, the 200-day is at 69.43, and the 7-day is 83.83 for Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA). Moving averages have the ability to be used as a powerful indicator for technical stock analysis. Following multiple time frames using moving averages can help investors figure out where the stock has been and help determine where it may be possibly going. The simple moving average is a mathematical calculation that takes the average price (mean) for a given amount of time.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) presently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -39.54. Typically, the CCI oscillates above and below a zero line. Normal oscillations tend to stay in the range of -100 to +100. A CCI reading of +100 may represent overbought conditions, while readings near -100 may indicate oversold territory. Although the CCI indicator was developed for commodities, it has become a popular tool for equity evaluation as well.
Sharp investors may be looking to examine the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. Developed by Larry Williams, this indicator helps spot overbought and oversold market conditions. The Williams %R shows how the current closing price compares to previous highs/lows over a specified period. Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R is sitting at -63.75. Typically, if the value heads above -20, the stock may be considered to be overbought. On the flip side, if the indicator goes under -80, this may signal that the stock is oversold.
One technical indicator that may assist in measuring the strength of market momentum is the Average Directional Index or ADX. At the time of writing, the 14-day ADX for Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) is standing at 20.98. Many chart analysts believe that an ADX reading over 25 would suggest a strong trend. A reading under 20 would suggest no trend, and a reading from 20-25 would suggest that there is no clear trend signal. The ADX was created by J. Welles Wilder to help determine how strong a trend is. In general, a rising ADX line means that an existing trend is gaining strength. The opposite would be the case for a falling ADX line.
Taking a look at other technical levels, the 3-day RSI stands at 18.06, the 7-day sits at 38.01 and the 14-day (most common) is at 49.37. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is an often employed momentum oscillator that is used to measure the speed and change of stock price movements. When charted, the RSI can serve as a visual means to monitor historical and current strength or weakness in a certain market. This measurement is based on closing prices over a specific period of time. As a momentum oscillator, the RSI operates in a set range. This range falls on a scale between 0 and 100. If the RSI is closer to 100, this may indicate a period of stronger momentum. On the flip side, an RSI near 0 may signal weaker momentum. The RSI was originally created by J. Welles Wilder which was introduced in his 1978 book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems".
Active investors are constantly weighing risk and return when trading in the stock market. Every investor has to evaluate their risk appetite at some point. The amount of risk an investor is willing to take on can have a large impact on expected future returns. Some people may be much more comfortable with riskier investments than others. This can greatly vary from one person to the next. Once the individual investor is comfortable with the amount of money on the table, they should be able to spend their energies focused on finding a winning strategy. Finding a winning strategy may involve many different aspects of stock research. Following a plan may help investors plow through downturns in the markets, and being able to change the plan when things aren't working can also be a help to longer-term portfolio health.

Carol Ronning Kapsner, Justice (dissenting to Rule 4.2, N.D.R. Prof. Conduct)
I dissent to the changes to the Comment to Rule 4.2, N.D.R. Prof. Conduct, which provides: "The prohibition of this Rule does not apply to contact with unrepresented former agents or employees of the represented organization." An organization such as a corporation, limited liability company and the like, whose legal status is recognized and which has the power to sue and be sued, is entitled to representation. The acts or omissions of a former agent or employee who acted in a managerial capacity for the organization concerning the matter in issue may be attributed to the organization for the purpose of establishing liability or the former agent or employee's statements may constitute an admission on the part of the organization regarding that matter. In such situations, effective representation is denied to the organization where a lawyer may contact the former agent or employee without the knowledge of the organization's lawyer.

FOXBOROUGH — If there was ever a time the Patriots were going to begin to turn around their third-quarter issues, Sunday was it.
The Dolphins had them on the ropes and in a two-touchdown hole after the first 30 minutes. New England's offense had totaled a measly 59 yards, quarterback Tom Brady already had thrown an interception, standout right tackle Sebastian Vollmer had been carted off with a broken bone in his lower right leg, and the defense had allowed Miami to gain 175 yards, go 6 for 10 on third-down conversions, and score touchdowns on both red-zone trips.
There was talk all week around Gillette Stadium about the Patriots' third-quarter woes. Entering the game, they'd yet to score a touchdown in the quarter, outscored almost five-to-one by opponents.
Whatever was said or shown or thought or felt at halftime — no one was revealing much after the game — worked for New England on Sunday, and the team rode its best third quarter of the season by far — it outscored Miami, 17-0 — to a 27-17 come-from-behind win over its division rival.
"We come in at halftime and we were not playing good football at all; the first half was not a good half of football," defensive end Rob Ninkovich said. "I don't think we played well at all. We had to start over again. The third quarter was like the first quarter — we had to play that second half like we started in another football game and just try to completely change how we were playing because it wasn't working."
The turnaround wasn't immediate: The Patriots won the toss and deferred, meaning they got the ball to open the third. They promptly went three-and-out.
And Miami continued to move the ball effectively, getting into the red zone for the third time. But Dont'a Hightower sacked Ryan Tannehill on third and short, and rookie kicker Caleb Sturgis hit the right upright on his 46-yard field goal attempt.
That's when the tide began to turn for New England.
Starting at their 36 after the missed field goal, the Patriots made short work of things, totaling more yards on their 64-yard touchdown drive than they had in the opening 30 minutes of the game.
Stevan Ridley's 23-yard carry, helped by some good blocking from Kenbrell Thompkins, started things, and a 23-yard catch by Rob Gronkowski got them inside the 20. Two plays later, Brady looked to Aaron Dobson, connecting with the rookie in the left third of the end zone even as the QB was hit by linebacker Philip Wheeler.
The Patriots finally had that elusive first third-quarter touchdown of the season, and it was their first TD in 16 possessions, dating to the second quarter of their Week 7 loss to the Jets.
That was followed closely by the second third-quarter touchdown of the year.
Rookie cornerback Logan Ryan, who did not play on defense in the first half — he denied after the game it was for disciplinary reasons, though he was fined by the NFL for grabbing his crotch during his pick-six touchdown a week earlier — blitzed Tannehill on second down, and stripped the ball from the quarterback.
Ninkovich, as he's done on numerous other occasions with the Patriots, was there to recover the ball, and the offense was just 13 yards from the end zone.
It was 3-yard carry Ridley, 8-yard catch Danny Amendola (who returned after suffering a concussion two weeks earlier), 2-yard touchdown Brandon Bolden, game tied.
The Patriots scored again before the third quarter ended, on a Stephen Gostkowski field goal, though a Gronkowski touchdown was taken off the board when Nate Solder was flagged for holding.
Still, the 17 points they scored in the third was nearly double the 9 points they'd managed in the third quarter of their first seven games — total.
"We dug a big hole for ourselves there at halftime and really haven't played good in the third quarter all year, but we did today," coach Bill Belichick said.
Said offensive lineman Logan Mankins, "We always look at things that we're not doing well and try to improve on those, and there was a lot said this week about the third quarter, how we needed to play better, from players, coaches, everyone in this building, so it was really nice to have a good quarter."
And a week after an obscure NFL rule went against the Patriots in their loss to the Jets, a less-obscure but still not-often-called one worked in their favor in the fourth quarter and played a big role in their game-sealing touchdown.
Facing second and 7 from the Dolphins' 23, Brady was strip-sacked by safety Jimmy Wilson.
Miami's Olivier Vernon went after the loose ball, and it squirted away from him. Solder finally recovered it for the Patriots, but not until the ball was near midfield.
But the officials flagged Vernon for an illegal bat, saying he deliberately knocked the ball away from a New England player. The penalty was enforced at the point of the foul, the 23-yard line, giving the Patriots 10 yards and a fresh set of downs.
"The referee made the call," Vernon said, never denying that he was trying to push the ball away. "I was trying to make a play, but the referee made that call. Just need to move forward now."
Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said, "Our stance was we thought he was trying to recover it and they said he illegally batted it."
New England ran four running plays from the 13, with Ridley getting into the end zone from 3 yards out.
There was a great deal of talk about Brady's right hand after the game, and the appendage received a great deal of air time on CBS, but he insisted that it is "perfect," though he kept the hand in his sweater pocket the entire time he was at the podium after the game, not allowing cameras to get a shot of it.
New England hits the midway point of the season at 6-2 and in control of the AFC East, with a struggling Pittsburgh club headed to Gillette next Sunday before the Patriots enjoy their bye in Week 10.
The Patriots were able to fix the third quarter for one day, but as Mankins noted, there remains work to do.
"Still haven't played 60 minutes," he lamented. "We played 30 minutes today, so once we get going with 60 minutes of good football, I think we'll be more where we want to be."Shalise Manza Young can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
