Little is nine months old soon. Once, for two hours, he was cared for by my parents. Every other minute of his life has been spent with his mum or dad.* We haven't gone out together without him. Three times I have left him with his dad, again for all of two hours. I didn't want to leave him. He needed me. What if he got hungry? Thirsty? Upset? Tired? I was very much a mum that needs to be with her baby. I felt guilty if I wasn't with him.
Not only did I have to be with him, I had to be doing the right thing when I was with him. Was I playing enough games with him? Giving him enough independant exploration time? Reading enough? Singing enough? Socialising with other babies enough? Feeding him the right solids? Were they too lumpy or too pureed for this stage or that? Did we get enough fresh air? On it goes, doing my head in.
Then something happened. Some kind of unforseen corner was turned at the eight month mark. I needed to get away all of a sudden. I needed real me time, not a longer shower on a saturday morning, but a few hours, even half a day or an evening to myself. I needed to feel like me, Roxanne, Rocky, Roxi, Rox, not mum. It hasn't even happened yet, the half a day, but I already have pangs of guilt just for wanting it.
Add to this my impending return to work. I'm returning two days a week because we need the money. I've had a year off work, and consider myself incredibly lucky to have been able to do this, but maternity leave, long service leave and Paid Parental leave are all running out. Again the guilt builds up.
Incredibly it has often been other mums who have added to my guilt. I have been openly questioned by some on my need to return to work. Did we really need the money? Can't my partner take time off? Can we both go part time? What if Little needed me? Attitudes like 'why have a baby if you're not prepared to look after it?' Even the head of a child care centre felt the need to tell me they didn't believe mums should go back to work full time. Surely we all know that peoples circumstances differ. There isn't a one size fits all model. Soon after Little's birth my partner was made redundant. We had to consider the neccesity of me going back full time and soon. It terrified me and reduced me to tears many times. Fortunately he found a great new job, but to be judged by other mums and child care workers as less of a mum would have been the straw on this camels back. If you could and wanted to stay home for X amount of years good for you! That's two big things right there, could and want. Not many can afford that luxury. Yes people struggle to keep one partner home, and that's admiable, but some of us wouldn't struggle so much as drown. Some want to stay home everyday, some feel they are a better parent if they have time away.
What really annoys me though is my guilty reaction to all of this. I know every parent and every baby is different. Every parent does what they need to do to get through the day or night, and with only some sad exceptions, do well. I know that my son is happy, healthy and developing beautifully. So I'm going to take a step back from this whole guilt trip. I'm going to suspend any judgements I may have once had based on parenting as I thought I knew it. I'm going to remind myself that the fact I even care if Little's had enough exploration/play/books/singing makes me a good mum. This will at least get me to the frist day of child care. Lets see how I go then.
*Since I wrote this post Little's dad and I had a night out together for a friends birthday, leaving him in the very capable hands of his aunt and cousin. He didn't even know we were gone, sleeping right through the night! I was like an excited kid in a lolly shop, but also a little manic with worry. This culminated in me talking very fast at people, grasping my phone in one hand a glass of wine in the other and treating both like a lifeline. Practically running from one person to another in my excitment to be out with them and showing everyone way to many photos and videos of our Little. I both wanted to socialise, drink and eat fast and get out of there and home to him and never wanted to leave this adult world that at times I had missed. The next day Little got a cold and I felt so guilty I had gone out the night before. His big green snot candelabras taunting me, saying "we're your fault mummy, you went out". So as lovely as it was I just dont know if I can be bothered doing it again for all the guilt. So much for taking a step back from the guilt trips.
let's try that again shall we?

I won't go into too much detail about the dress today, I've already got versions 2 and 3 on the go so I'll do a separate post about the pattern in more detail when they are all done.
In other OAL news I have got to the point of joining the underarms of my Vianne without having to rip back again at all. Casting on 9 times for a single project was making me wonder if this cardigan was doomed but I'm hoping I've moved past all that now... of course now I'm knitting the fronts and back all together the potential for mistakes is much higher so I'm not counting my chickens yet!

Nazi Party History is an application that contains a variety of information about the annals or chronicle of the world. A lot of information such as ancient country or city, biography of famous people and the battle of war story is included here.The National Socialist German Workers Party (German: About this sound Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (help·info), abbreviated NSDAP), commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party (/ˈnɑːtsi/), was a political party in Germany active between 1920 and 1945 that practised Nazism. Its predecessor, the German Workers Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; DAP), existed from 1919 to 1920.
The party emerged from the German nationalist, racist and populist Freikorps paramilitary culture, which fought against the communist uprisings in post-World War I Germany.[6] The party was created as a means to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism.[7] Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric, although such aspects were later downplayed in order to gain the support of industrial entities, and in the 1930s the partys focus shifted to anti-Semitic and anti-Marxist themes.[8]
Racism was central to Nazism. The Nazis propagated the idea of a "peoples community" (Volksgemeinschaft). Their aim being one to unite "racially desirable" Germans as national comrades, whilst excluding those deemed either to be political dissidents, physically or intellectually inferior, or of a foreign race (Fremdvölkische).[9] The Nazis sought to improve the stock of the Germanic people through racial purity and eugenics, broad social welfare programs, and a collective subordination of individual rights, which could be sacrificed for the good of the Nazi state and the "Aryan master race". To maintain the supposed purity and strength of the Aryan race, the Nazis sought to exterminate Jews, Romani, and the physically and mentally handicapped. They imposed exclusionary segregation on homosexuals, Africans, Jehovahs Witnesses, and political opponents.[10] The persecution reached its climax when the party-controlled German state organized the systematic murder of approximately six million Jews and five million people from the other targeted groups, in what has become known as the Holocaust.
The partys leader since 1921, Adolf Hitler, was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg in 1933. Hitler rapidly established a totalitarian regime[11][12][13][14] known as the Third Reich. Following the defeat of the Third Reich at the conclusion of World War II in Europe, the party was "declared to be illegal" by the Allied powers,[15] who performed denazification in the years after the war.
Hopefully, with this application Nazi Party History, we can have more insight and news update. We will continue to add information about this application. So you must still install the application well. thank you.

Phnom Penh Post
Lon Rith, the son of former Cambodian president Lon Nol, has announced his intention to contest next year's commune elections at the head of the Khmer Republican Party, claiming a support base of more than 100,000 members.
Speaking to reporters at the party's headquarters yesterday, Lon Rith, who lives in California, said his party is restructuring itself in advance of the 2012 poll.
Lon Rith said the KRP, which undertook a largely unsuccessful national election campaign in 2008, would aim to support the work of the ruling Cambodian People's Party, and would run on a platform of preserving natural resources safeguarding Cambodia's territorial integrity.
The KRP's overriding objective, he said, was to encourage development.
"I have a principle to arrange the country to be as progressive as other countries," he said, adding that he would aim to empower grassroots organisations at the commune level.
In March 1970, Lon Rith's father Lon Nol overthrew then-Prince Norodom Sihanouk in a coup, ushering in a five-year experiment with republican government.
Lon Nol's regime, which was overthrown by the communist Khmer Rouge in April 1975, was marked by its close alignment with the United States, which provided backing for the civil war effort.
It also broke with centuries of tradition by abolishing the Cambodian monarchy, which was not restored until 1993.
Speaking yesterday, Lon Rith played down his party's link to the Khmer Republic, saying he had not intention to reproduce its anti-monarchist stance.
"The Khmer Republican Party respects our constitution. We will not do anything contrary to the constitution," he said.
Lon Rith previously returned to Cambodia prior to the 2008 national election. At the time, he told The Post that he wanted "to elevate the people, give them a voice, and give them, not just hope, but the basic needs and necessities: food, education, jobs and a higher standard of living".
In the end, the party won just 11,693 votes in nine provinces – around 0.19 percent of the popular vote.
Lon Rith noted yesterday that his 2008 campaign had been poorly funded in comparison to other parties, and said he was prepared to spend up to US$1 million in the lead up to next year's election.
Koul Panha, executive director of election monitor Comfrel, yesterday welcomed Lon Rith's return.
"It has been a long time for him, if he tries from now on he could attract votes from the grassroots for this commune election," Koul Panha said.
He noted, however, that current election procedures favour larger parties, and called for a change to the current election formula.
Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, also welcomed Lon Rith's return, but said the ruling CPP did not feel threatened by it.
"We are not scared of competing with any party. We encourage other parties to take part in the competition," he said.

My flesh is the bottle to a lightening bolt that I have on loan. Writing keeps it from escaping.
Doctors told Moms that I was too hyper active. Wanting to medicate me, my folks said, "No." Orlando, Florida is my hometown. I was born in a Sanford hospital along the St. John's river. 13 foot alligators live there. I was an accident. My two brothers are a lot older than me. Assuming I'd be a girl, my middle brother named me, Tracy. Before social media, people thought I was a white girl when they read my name. I was raised in white America. "That's a girl's name," they'd say when meeting me.
When I was good at math I didn't know I was dyslexic. My steps were right, but if I saw a 6 I'd write a 9. Double digits would get inverted. I wanted to be an astronaut. We used to go outside and watch the launching of space shuttles. You ever heard the sonic boom of a rocket ship entering Earth's atmosphere?
I grew up in suburbia in the same house until I left for college. My parents were independent tomato farmers, leasing land in Sanford. Our home was full of art, books and little light. Pops didn't want neighbors looking into our house. He wanted to keep the power bill low. He used to watch the street from a slit in the curtains. We used to go months at a time without lights, water, or telephone. I have glaucoma. Maybe it's from throwing a rock at Tony and hitting him in the eye from 30 feet away. He beat me up. My dream is to be a writer. I flunked kindergarten for not knowing my ABC's. I was told that I had SLD (Slow Learning Disability).
I'm afraid that no one likes me.
For as long as I can remember, art has been in my life. I grew up thinking that appreciating art was analogous to watching the news -everybody did it. Somewhere in the world there's a box full of photos that Pops took when he was in the Navy, stationed in Okinawa, just after World War II. He learned how to develop film.
Moms was a hair dresser, the youngest of 17 kids. I think Pops might've been a gangster.
My oldest brother Cliff took me to bike races, skateboard competitions, the movies, and art shows. My middle brother Pete introduced me to RUN DMC performing on PBS. He put Richard Wright's Native Son in my hand and told me to read it, "Its a classic," he said. I didn't know what that meant, but it was the same word that the TV used to describe Disney movies. Reading Son was the first time that I thought about writing. I don't write protest novels, but I used to write anti-… poems. Yes. Every year, Pete and Moms took me to The Winter Park Art Festival. When I was in the 3rd grade I did a watercolor painting of a fat clown high diving into a glass of water. My art teacher submitted it to a state competition and it was hung at The Festival. I used to draw cartoons and comics as a child. I used to think complaining connected you to humans. My first skateboard was a Sims. I like Florescent Black (yes, and the album). Ray Barbee made skateboarding look like break dancing.
I live in Tokyo, Japan with my wife, Haruki and our four-year-old daughter, Kantra. Those aren't their real names, but their fake names have lives too.
I got here a week before the 3-11-2011 earthquake. Haruki and I were supposed to get married that day. We got married three days later. Marriage is difficult. "If we were the same nationality, it would still be hard, but we're from completely different cultures. It's complicated," we both agree.
And I'm African-America. Does the American part entitle me to my opinion? You only get married once. Japan makes you weird…bout the three-year mark.
Haruki supports our family. She puts up with me. I'm difficult. She was a ballet dancer with a fat ass and a statuesque face. I'm afraid that I'm less of a man, not playing my gender role. She's smarter and stronger than me, "You think I'm crazy," she says to me. I'm a stay at home father and freelance writer.
I love my babies. Thank you for loving me. "Sometimes I want to…," she said, wrapping her hands around my neck. Rest in peace Aunt Anna-Joe. I love you and miss your laugh. Sorry you didn't meet Kantra, she would've tickled you. "If you learn nothing else in life, learn to listen," Aunt Anna-Joe used to say to my cousin and me.
This is a story…and other things. I'm terrified.

Project type: Offshore Manufacturing Setup and New Product Design
Fashion knows no boundaries, even when it comes to brushing! Who wants to look dull and unfashionable when brushing their teeth, right? With a vision to reinvent toothbrush design and to move away from the same old boring designs in the market, we were tasked to co-develop a line of ultra-slim, contemporary and personalized toothbrushes. With a wide range of designs and loaded with features, this ultra-slim toothbrush caters to any personality.
Being an ultra-slim toothbrush intended for travelers, a major engineering hurdle was to accommodate all the features and functionalities of a normal-sized toothbrush into the device. Both weight and size was critical to the design, and the tooling process proved to be exceptionally complicated. Another major challenge was also to incorporate an extended lithium polymer battery into the housing volume, so travelers need not fret even when they forget to bring the charger. Our team had to develop a fully functional marketing prototype within a highly limited time frame. Finally, the device had to be both water and drop resistant, subjected to a series of rigorous tests.
Our engineering team had to improvise at every stage, using innovative materials to compensate for the device's weight and size specifications, The gearing mechanism of the toothbrush also had to be redesigned in order to compensate for the device's size.
The design of the electronics from scratch also allowed us to configure the user settings (vibration, speed and strength) with greater effectiveness. The product currently has a fully functional website and currently about to go live on Kickstarter, and have caught the attention from a major retailer.

4 FACE THE OF Civility By Jennifer Hadley The Damiani Law Group s Criminal and Civil Defense Practice is the face of San Diego s Unpopular and Vilified Defendants. ATTORNEY OF THE MONTH 2012 Photograph by Bronson Pate. I f Lisa Damiani looks familiar, chances are that it s not because she s on the cover of this magazine. In recent weeks, Damiani has been thrust into the national spotlight as the attorney representing the family of James Holmes. Holmes has been charged with the movie theater killings in Aurora, Colorado, which left 12 dead and 58 others wounded. In Damiani s own words, the days and weeks following the crime have been nothing short of chaotic even for a 24 year veteran of criminal defense. Damiani is not, however, new to local and even statewide media attention. As a highly visible attorney in the exceedingly complex and lengthy cases stemming from conflict of interest accusations against Trustees of the San Diego City Employees Retirement System, Damiani obtained dismissals for her client, former Trustee Sharon Wilkinson, in People of the State of California v. Cathy Lexin, et al., which went to the California Supreme Court, People of the State of California v. Lawrence Grissom et al., and San Diego City Employees Retirement System v. San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre, et al. Later, she represented Wilkinson as a Plaintiff in Torres et al. v. The City of San Diego, where she recouped civil defense costs from the city. Suffice to say, Damiani has gotten to know the local media well. She acknowledges that defense work is not necessarily for the faint of heart, and quotes Clarence Darrow: To be an effective criminal defense counsel, an attorney must be prepared to be demanding, outrageous, irreverent, blasphemous, a rogue, a renegade, and a hated, isolated and lonely person... few love a spokesman and active defender for the despised and the damned. Still, Damiani was astounded by the instant, overwhelming presence of the media and outpour of contacts from around the world after she came forward as the Holmes family s attorney. Yes, I expected media coverage, she says, but I was not fully prepared for the emotional reactions the case generated. Attorney Journal Volume 109,
5 It started out as a normal morning. I had consultations scheduled, it was a regular day, she says. That all changed with a phone call. In the blink of an eye, news vans were set up outside of her gated community. The scene she greeted when arriving at the Holmes residence was unnerving. The home was swarming with media outlets as Damiani made her way into the home to consult with her clients. In spite of the commotion, relating as a mother of a young boy, she instinctively did what she s been trained to do. When I meet with my clients, I tell them Now that I am here, you can transfer all of your problems to me. That weight on your shoulders, all of those troubles, are now mine to reconcile. FIRST STEPS TOWARD THE LEGAL FIELD For Damiani, the idea that our justice system works was instilled in her from the minute she entered the world. Born to first generation Americans, Damiani credits her father with first piquing her interest in law. He brainwashed me into believing that, armed with knowledge of the law, my voice could make a difference in this world. His parents were born in Italy and he experienced a great deal of discrimination as a child gowing up in Oakfield, New York. He was proud to be American and had great respect for lawyers. He discussed many of them, including Clarence Darrow, F. Lee Bailey, Richard Racehorse Haynes, and Melvin Belli with me. We read To Kill a Mockingbird and other stories about lawyers and even watched The Paper Chase, a 1973 film about a first year Harvard law student, together. At dinner, he would hold court, when my siblings and I had an argument, and let us each present our case, she recalls fondly. His wish was for me to become a lawyer. Suffice to say, her father was less than ecstatic when she told him of her plans to pursue a career in journalism following graduation from NYU. However, happenstance put Damiani in a legal conflict with her landlord in Manhattan, where she was fighting for her right to maintain a lovely rent-controlled apartment. The landlord forced her out for higher rent. Following that experience, she was determined to learn the law for herself. I remember the day I told my father I was going to be a lawyer. He was the happiest I had ever seen him, she says. After six years as a New Yorker, living in the city that never sleeps, Damiani was eager to find NYC s antithesis. A road trip with girlfriends from Los Angeles through to San Diego and into Mexico was all it took for Damiani to be sold on law school in San Diego. There were not many female law students, let alone female attorneys at the time. California Western School of Law wanted to bring more women into the field, so it recruited her. I wanted to focus on criminal cases because I found them to be fastpaced, challenging and rewarding, she says. Upon admittance to the California Bar in 1988, Damiani launched her own firm, and began the work of building a criminal defense practice in what was then very much a male-dominated field. The styles men used in the courtroom, like Atticus Finch, did not fit me. Rather than act like them, I wanted to be myself. I wore, and continue to wear, skirts in court as testament to the power of femininity. I also learned from jury consultants that jurors like to see women in court today, she says proudly. After five years as a criminal defense attorney, Damiani was hand selected and recruited by Robert S. Brewer to join the white collar practice group at McKenna & Cuneo LLP (now McKenna, Long & Aldridge 18 Attorney Journal Volume 109, 2012
6 LLP). Damiani was enlisted on the firm s employment defense matters and immediately took to it. Although it seems to be very different from my criminal practice, the emotions between an employee and employer can be similarly explosive. We spend more time with our fellow employees than we do with our own spouse and children. The relationships we build while working can be very complex. They help to form our identities. For most people, maintaining our livelihood is as important as maintaining our liberty. Both fields fascinate me. DEVELOPING A THICK SKIN Early in her career, she had several profound experiences that helped shape her into the attorney she is today. First, she got to know Juanita Brooks and Cynthia Aaron, two phenomenal, brilliant trial lawyers who are respected and admired by the legal community. They were her mentors. The second experience was equally valuable; it was learning to develop a thick skin, even when representing those who the community at large views as despicable. In 1994, Damiani participated in a five month federal trial in the case of United States v. Jeffrey Rutgard, a marked experience comparable to climbing Mt. Everest. Unexpectedly, I was asked to assist the McKenna team in the defense s case in chief, after Racehorse Haynes, lead counsel, was relieved. The judge didn t appear to like the defendant, and as part of his defense team, didn t appear to like counsel either. I felt hatred coming from the bench, the jury box and the prosecutors, she explains. The allegations were serious against our client. This was the type of case that generated a lot of hostility in the community. On top of that, many bizarre things happened. For instance, one of the client s family members had a heart attack in the courtroom while we were in session. During direct examination of a defense witness, a patient who had good things to say about our client, the judge actually lunged at me over the bench, red-faced and spitting, ordering me to sidebar, she recalls. When you represent someone who is denigrated by the prosecution and media, people look at you the same way they look at your client. Recalling the experience, Damiani likened it to boot camp. The case was hard-fought and forced her to see that her role as a defense attorney was not always going to make her the most popular person. However, it also reinforced her belief in our judicial system as a whole. Our legal system is built for the wrongfully accused. Everyone is presumed innocent. Unless the one pointing the finger can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, we must find innocence. I m not the judge and I m not the jury. I am much more comfortable in defending than in finger-pointing, she says. COMING INTO HER OWN-CREATIVELY After seven years at McKenna & Cuneo LLP, which Damiani recalls as a wonderful experience, where I met talented defense lawyers and had abundant resources, she decided she wanted the flexibility afforded by running her own firm again. She also wanted to take on plaintiff cases. To that end, she launched the Damiani Law Group APC in 2000, and created a practice that would bring together her various areas of specialty and passion. Typically, I represent those accused of crimes and other unlawful acts, including fraud, racketeering, homicide, assault, battery, rape, hit and run, laundering, and drug offenses in state and federal courts. A majority of my matters are referred to me by other civil attorneys who are savvy enough to see criminal implications or criminal defense lawyers who need advice on the civil side. Getting me in the case early helped to keep their client s exposure limited. Past clients also refer me cases because they know how I work. Many of them have retained me in parallel criminal and civil proceedings, involving a variety of claims, like fraud, theft of trade secret and unfair business practices. I love the challenge. Most of my present civil cases involve defending and consulting with employers on labor and employment matters, she says. In order to sufficiently provide the representation that her clients deserve, Damiani has cultivated a firm which has been known to employ unconventional and creative means of discovery. From taking out ads in local newspapers encouraging readers to contact her if they ve had experience with particular expert witnesses, to printing up fliers and distributing them in neighborhoods where a home builder s ethics were questioned, Damiani is not afraid to push the envelope. She recalled opposing counsel filing for a protective order and sanctions to stop her flyer distribution, which he claimed defamed his client. The judge didn t see it that way though, allowing Damiani to carry on and even complementing her on her creativity. We think outside of the box in strategizing the case. Every move we make is designed to show our client in a different light and achieve that strategy. We don t care if it upsets our opposition. Attorney Journal Volume 109,
7 Contact: Damiani Law Group APC 701 B Street, Suite 1110 San Diego, CA (619) Attorney Journal Volume 109, 2012 EXPERIENCE COMFORTABILITY IN HER OWN SKIN For a woman who has built a career representing clients in the face of palpable adversity, Damiani is not only comfortable with her position, but counterintuitive to what one may think about the effect such a demanding profession may have on one s spirit; Damiani is an exceedingly nice and friendly woman. More importantly, she s proud of the work she does. Somebody has to do this job, she says. You ve got to be able to be in a position where you may not look so good there is always someone who views you as despicable because of their experiences in life or they don t fully understand the case and our system. I m ok with that. Certainly her clients are grateful that Damiani is willing to take the heat, especially her employer clients, who have asked her to deliver the pink slips in lay-offs or stand up to accusations of discrimination. But the entire legal community has also recognized the hard work, success and creative tactics that Damiani utilizes to the benefit of her clients. Respect from peers has resulted in an AV Peer rating through Martindale-Hubbell every year since Since 2010 she s also earned the AV Preeminent rating, an award bestowed on less than 5% of female lawyers. For the talented attorney and rising public figure, Damiani is looking forward to a bright future, wherein she plans to continue to grow her business to fit the firm, but has no plans to expand her fields of practice. She s happy with her career, which is a fairly even mix of business, employment and criminal defense. Her professional life extends well beyond the office or the courtroom though; as an active member of local legal organizations such as the William B. Enright American Inn of Court. Damiani s leisure time is often spent in the company of colleagues and peers, including judges and fellow members of the Bar. She s also very happy to be a mother to her 9 year old son Nikolay whom she adopted from Russia in Something tells me that for all of these reasons, her father, who first shared with her his love of the law so many years ago, is very proud that Damiani is indeed using her knowledge of the law as a voice that can and does make a difference in the world. n» EDUCATION 1983 B.A. degree from New York University 1986, while in law school, formed Paper Chase Legal Clerks, assisting sole practitioners by providing them with law clerks for research, drafting and other legal assistance J.D. degree from California Western School of Law (CWSL)» ASSOCIATIONS & AWARDS Staff Writer with the CWSL Law Review Comment published in the CWSL International Law Journal 1988 Won the Richard D.

Ray Guy has been called the greatest punter ever in the National Football League.
Guy was a unanimous All-America selection in 1972 as a senior at the University of Southern Mississippi. His 46.2-yard punting average led the nation that season.
The Oakland Raiders used the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft to obtain Guy, the first time any punter was taken with the top pick. Guy was selected to the Pro Bowl seven times and led the league in punting three times. He was the punter for three Super Bowl champions.
But for all his gridiron accomplishments, Guy has yet to hear his name called for induction into the NFL Hall of Fame.
To this day, that fact still doesn't sit well with the 63-year-old Guy, who looks like he could boot a 70-yarder. He is currently USM's M-Club Director.
Guy recently finished his presentation at the Southern Mississippi Southwest Central Mississippi Alumni Club dinner when the question from the audience on why he thought he is yet to be elected to the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Guy didn't mince words.
"What bothers me the most is what (television analysts) are doing to our younger generation of specialists. They've said punters are not athletes; that they're not needed," Guy said. "It just irritates me to no end to hear somebody in those positions able to control another person'AAs destiny. If you've never done it, you don't know what you'AAre talking about."
Guy said punting does require its own form of athleticism.
"Punting takes a great deal of talent to go out there on that field with all that pressure," Guy said. "It takes a very special person to handle that situation. Without all those computers, all these so-called analysts wouldn't know how to go to the bathroom. They've got somebody doing all the legwork for them.
"Punting is probably one of the most critical jobs," he said. "It's often the difference between winning and losing. I would rather have a pressure situation (in which to punt) than a relaxed situation. Why did you get me started on this?"
Guy returned to work at USM in November 2007. He said a priority is finding all former USM athletes -- not just the star athletes -- and getting them to join the alumni association.
"As director of the M Club at Southern Miss, I do a lot of work with the alumni association. We all work together," Guy said. "The information I gather in athletics is carried over to the alumni association to be put in the computers. (The athletes) are former students, a part of the university, and we want to keep it that way. The hardest part is keeping up with them."
Guy said the M Club has expanded to include more participants.
"We're looking at trainers, coaches, managers and cheerleaders. They are part of the athletic program, but don't get seen a lot. We've gotten a lot of former Dixie Darlings (dance team)," Guy said.
USM has undergone a number of personnel changes in the last few months. Dr. Rodney Bennett is the new president, while Bill McGillis took over as athletic director last week. Todd Monken is in his first season as head football coach.
"From administration to coaches, change occurs," Guy said. "That happens in every category of life. More times than not, change is for the better. The changes we made are going to be a benefit for Southern Miss. I was impressed with Dr. Bennett when I met him for a short time. I was very impressed with Bill. He has been in athletics for 25 years and is one of those who has done it all. I think he is very dedicated. There is a lot of excitement on campus."
USM opens the 2013 football season on Aug. 31 at home against Texas State.
USM was 0-12 last season under Ellis Johnson. Guy said the players are behind the current staff.
"It's all a matter of getting the players confident," Guy said. "That was something that was missing last year. The players have learned to take the bad and turn it into a positive thing. The coaching staff is building character and confidence of these young men."

STANDARD FARE Out of Sight, Out of Town
What's in a release date? The sophomore release from Standard Fare was originally slated for 12 December release last year. A home (base) town launch on 2 December followed, it was available digitally direct or via iTunes later that month and reached number 9 in Sweeping The Nation's Top Fifty albums of 2011. But later press announcements gave a more review/consumer friendly release date of 16 January for "Out of Sight, Out of Town". Or is it 23 January? It matters little and it's probably no more than a second bite at the promotional apple, but maybe Standard Fare now have the opportunity – deservedly - of finding themselves in two years' worth of End of Year Charts?
Many songs here remain full of escape and leave-takings but "Out of Sight, Out of Town" is no musical departure from 2009's debut "The Noyelle Beat": again punchy indie-pop guitar tunes with a hint of brittle vulnerability behind their formidable feistiness and boy/girl vocals win the day. The settings maybe cafe bars, quiet parks and the dance floor but the real territory mapped out here is the space between people: infatuation, fooling around, emotional turmoil and lust. And in a neat reversal of the dalliances with younger bedfellows on 'Fifteen', here we have Emma taunting someone on their age preferences "I hear you're into older women / do you know what you're doing?". The dynamic and mood of each song is often led by the guitars: poppy and carnival-like on 'Half Sister', full of chiming regret on 'Darth Vader' or languid reflection on 'Early That Night'. But what sticks in the mind on these first listens are the majority where the guitars buzz angrily (much more angrily than on the debut?) with a serrated-edge rawness.
It's all delivered with a confident and finely buffered sheen. Many of the titles read like captions from the Jeremy Kyle Show and there's a lyrical bleakness or at best ambivalence to some songs "you can struggle all you like but we're destined to die unknown / but the future's bright, the future's dead". Last year's infectious single 'Suitcase' even relates to the Holocaust. However "Out of Sight, Out of Town" overflows with a rambunctious, sexy optimism and a paints a more substantial, detailed and deep picture of modern relationships than the cover's cartoon town illustration suggests. A power-pop pep-up for whatever winter month it was/is released.

- Favorite dress
Great quality dress. I wear it and wash it often and it's holding up quite well. I'm 5'4'' and 135lb. I bought a Medium because I didn't want it clingy. It's loose, so going down to a small would have been fine too. Next time I buy a dress from this website, I'll buy a small.
- Easy Dress to Throw On
This fits me exactly the same at the Boat Neck Dress, though it might be just a hair shorter. I am 5'10, 145 pounds, wear a 34D, and the medium is perfect. I prefer things to fit loosely and flow, so if you'd prefer a closer fit, maybe consider sizing down.
This dress is the perfect weight and is so stupidly comfortable. I'm going to live in this when spring finally comes to New England! It hits me maybe 2-3 inches above my knee, so although I'd prefer it to be a tad longer, it's probably plenty long for most people and would still be work appropriate for a more business-casual setting. Would love to see this offered in more colors!
- Perfect summer dress
Lovely dress, incredibly soft, but not too thin fabric. I got the stripes and they are flattering. Perfect summer dress, not too short, can be dressed up a little with accessories or perfect for a lazy summer day.
- Perfect summer dress
Great quality and workmanship. The fabric is thicker than most tshirts so it smooths over any bumps. The price is great for the quality you get. Size runs slightly large. I'm normally between l and XL and the l was perfect. 5'8 175.
- Dreamy as a nightgown
Soft, cozy, organic cotton. Bought the dress on sale as a nightgown. It's dreamy. Will wear it as a daytime dress too.

Housing Divided, Part 12: Renters vulnerable in disputes with landlords
December 7, 2016
Housing Divided is a 13-part series from the Summit Daily News taking an in-depth look at our regional housing crisis. We're exploring the subject from every angle, featuring stories on seasonal workers, government and nonprofit solutions, homelessness, the impact of short-term rentals, the prevalence of second-home owners and deed-restricted housing.
Part 1: Study confirms severity of Summit County housing crisis
Part 2: Summit County's most vital workers don't live here
Part 3: Seasonal workers arrive and housing disappears
Part 4: Summit County employers facing a shrinking workforce
Part 5: Summit workers and families on brink of homelessness
Part 6: Government's hand remains pronounced in housing efforts
Part 7: One Summit County landlord takes a leap of faith
Part 8: Summit County remains majority second-home owners
Part 9: Deed-restricted housing helps locals become homeowners
Editor's note: This is the twelfth in a 13-part series. Installments will appear each Thursday in the Summit Daily.
On Aug. 18, Jim McGuire and his girlfriend, Mary Rose Hills, moved into a room in a Dillon Valley house that they verbally agreed to pay $700 a month for. The place needed some work, but McGuire, recently out of a job, agreed to help out on various projects around the house rather than pay a security deposit. It wasn't a perfect arrangement, he said, but the tight housing market left him with few options.
As the weather started to get colder, the setup quickly became a nightmare. McGuire and Hills say their landlord has not turned on the heat despite repeated verbal requests and two written requests, and temperatures inside the house are now as low as 42 degrees at night.
In September, roots grew into the plumbing system, causing raw sewage to back up in the downstairs bathroom and flood several feet into the carpeted hallway.
That wasn't the end of their troubles. In mid-November, Hills and McGuire started turning on the oven and leaving it open to get a little bit of heat. That ran up the electric bill, they said, and their landlord, who pays the utilities, demanded they stop. But there still wasn't heat, and soon a pipe burst upstairs after freezing in the night, sending water running down the walls and stairs. McGuire said the house has flooded at least nine times.
A small patch of black mold is now visible on ceiling beams where soggy drywall had to be ripped out, and there are no fire or carbon monoxide alarms, as required by law.

"We knew it was a fixer-upper when we moved in, but the house was supposed to be well-maintained," said Hills. "These things were supposed to be fixed by now."
Their landlord, who is currently attempting to evict McGuire and Hills, declined to comment for this story. In a right of possession notice posted on Nov. 20, he cited failure to pay rent, untruthful reporting of employment status, failure to deal in good faith and failure to keep the peace due to a domestic violence incident. (According to the Public Interest Network, landlords may not evict tenants because of a domestic violence call or because a tenant is a victim of domestic violence.)
McGuire has since gained steady employment, but he and Hills are a month overdue on rent. They said they don't feel they should have to pay, given that the house isn't habitable under the law and that McGuire put in 40 hours of work on projects the landlord halted and didn't compensate him for.
When a house stops being a home
McGuire and Hills' ordeal is an extreme example of how Summit County's housing crisis, which has seen rents rising faster than local incomes, can limit people's options or make them reluctant to assert their rights as tenants.
What's more, when tenants have disputes with their landlords — whether it be over substandard living conditions, illegal entry or withholding of a security deposit, their only real recourse is litigation.
McGuire said he and Hills tried for nearly two months to resolve the disputes with their landlord amicably, but that devolved into mutual hostility and no progress was made. That's when they turned to the legal system, with McGuire spending his nights after work poring over law books and highlighting relevant passages.
Their landlord filed an eviction on Friday, and after a consultation with Colorado Legal Aid, they've decided to hire an attorney and challenge the eviction on the grounds that their unit is uninhabitable. While the wheels of the legal system turn, they remain in the lurch, unsure how much longer they'll be able to stay in substandard living conditions — or if the problems will ever get fixed.
"If you have to hire an attorney it can get expensive really fast, and if (the other party) wants to fight it, it can be time consuming and difficult," said local attorney Todd Barson.
While small claims and eviction suits usually get put on an expedited docket, that doesn't always mean a quick and cheap resolution. And for those with mouths to feed while juggling multiple jobs, leveraging the legal system can be difficult.
"It's not something you can count on as totally reliable because it can be available sporadically and there's more demand from citizens than there are lawyers doing pro bono work," Barson said. "They're pretty strapped and it can be difficult to find a day that works."
The only other option — to pick up and go — has so far been a non-starter; the couple can't find any places remotely within their price range, particularly since rents have started to tick up with the arrival of ski season.
"We've certainly seen issues with some clients that are concerning from a public health standpoint," said Tamara Drangstveit, executive director of the Family and Intercultural Resource Center (FIRC), whose organization refers clients to groups like Colorado Legal Aid that provide assistance to low-income clients.
The most common problems, Drangstveit said, are mold and bedbugs, although only a small percentage of the roughly 3,500 families FIRC sees a year have such issues at their homes.
She said that's one of the reasons her organization started offering "Ready to Rent" classes that teach people their rights — and obligations — as renters.
"In an environment where we have some supply and demand issues, we're starting to see a little more of that. But it's a small minority — most of our landlords are wonderful."
few regulations
The most fundamental right renters have is to live in a place that is deemed habitable under the law and free from environmental health hazards, such as mold and vermin. However, like in most jurisdictions, government agencies in the county aren't charged with investigating and adjudicating such grievances; that's a process carried out by lawyers, judges and mediators.
While the Environmental Health Department conducts routine inspections on food service establishments, childcare facilities and schools, it's not charged with conducting inspections at residences or responding to complaints.
The department gets occasional reports from tenants, but its response is typically to provide educational materials and point people in the direction of legal aid should the problem persist.
"We work with folks, but we don't have regulations," said environmental health manager Dan Hendershott. "Between landlords and tenants, it's very rare to have a housing code — Denver is the only one I can think of."
As far as mold goes, there is no federally or locally mandated level of unsafe exposure. That's because exposure symptoms are an allergic-type reaction that varies from person to person, and testing the air for spores can be difficult and uncertain.
"It's not natural to see visible mold and moisture in a home," Hendershott said. "Moisture can also lead to volatile organic compounds being released. If you see it, you should fix it."
Town officials are focused primarily on compliance during construction, said Frisco building inspector Greg Denckla, whose office doesn't handle environmental health issues but responds to reports of missing carbon monoxide and fire alarms in residences.
"We get a few of these (calls) this time of year every year because new people are moving in that don't know their rights as tenants and the responsibilities of their landlords," said Lake Dillon Fire public information officer Steve Lipsher. "But we generally don't get involved in disputes. … we don't have the authority to cite people or compel them to install."
Into court and out of the county
In October, Denckla responded to a report from Amy Suplee that her unit didn't have a carbon monoxide detector. Her apartment, at the Lagoon Townhomes in Frisco, was above a parking garage, and she called it in after smelling exhaust and feeling nauseous.
"The management company was very responsive, got in there and got it installed," Denckla said. "Our code requires they be installed in any dwelling unit, and you can't legally transfer a property without it. Does it get overlooked sometimes? Probably. But we rarely get calls about it."
Wildernest Property Management, which oversees the Lagoon Townhomes, also sealed some holes in the fireproof layer of the walls. But Suplee says she had other problems with the company that prompted her to move out after two months and file suit against the company in small claims court; otherwise, she would have to forfeit her security deposit and the remainder of the rent due on her yearlong lease. She has also made a report with the Housing and Urban Development Authority's fair housing unit.
Suplee alleges that Wildernest misrepresented the property and entered her unit multiple times without her knowledge. She also says that repeated requests for cleaning in common areas weren't being answered, Wildernest declined to comment on the specifics of Suplee's case because she would not sign a release freeing them to do so.
Suplee said she was unable to do a walk-through of her apartment before moving in in late September, but was told in an email from Wildernest it was a "very nice, clean, awesome property. Immaculate actually" and in "ready to move in condition."
By Suplee's account, this was not the case: she took photos of dirty kitchen appliances; rusted bathroom fixtures with holes in them; a broken door latch; a broken, bent and rusted heater; a closet door falling off its hinges; and cracked tiles on the bathroom sink, on which she cut her finger while cleaning.
She said she was also reassured that the unit had two bedrooms, but that one of them was long and narrow — good for an office or guest bedroom. That room, however, isn't a bedroom under Colorado law, which requires a window and closet for that classification. (A new online listing of the property posted after Suplee moved out lists it as a one-bedroom).
A little over a week later Wildernest arranged for a contractor to replace cabinets, sink fixtures, repaint interior walls, replace bedroom blinds, fix the closet door and replace the cracked tiles.
That, however, set up the other dispute: Suplee claims that Wildernest employees and agents twice entered her apartment without her knowledge, once after she had requested that in the future she be given 24-hour notice before entry. Her claim that there were witnesses to this entry couldn't immediately be verified.
Wildernest isn't due in small claims court until March 13 of next year, and it's unclear whether or not a settlement will be reached before then.
For some, having thousands of dollars tied up in a small claims suit could make the process of moving and finding a new place all the more difficult, particularly when there aren't many options out there.
For Suplee, it wasn't worth trying to stick around looking for housing while paying an attorney's fees and with the future of her deposit and remaining rent uncertain.
"I moved out of state," she said. "There was just no more housing here — zero."

With poached eggs, spinach & peas
Of an adult's reference intake
Poached eggs can be a little tricky to get right, so use the freshest eggs you can get your hands on. You can tell whether an egg is fresh by cracking it on to a saucer. If the yolk stands up and the white isn't watery, it's fresh as a daisy. And don't worry if they look a little messy round the edges, it's all part of it!

Capital funding for multi-academy trusts (MATs)
Information for multi-academy trusts (MATs) and other groups of academies that receive a capital funding allocation.
Multi-academy trusts (MATs) and some other groups of academy trusts with at least 5 academies and more than 3,000 pupils, receive a School Condition Allocation (SCA) to deploy strategically across their estate to address their priority maintenance needs.
Academies that are not part of a qualifying MAT or opted-in chain can apply to the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF). In any given financial year, all schools eligible for capital funding will either (i) receive a formulaic allocation via their MAT or chain, or (ii) be able to bid to CIF.
MAT capital funding allocations
School capital funding allocations: 2015 to 2018 gives details of SCAs for MATs, devolved formula capital (DFC) allocations for schools and academies, and an explanatory note on the funding methodology.
Use of SCA
EFA provides funding to keep school buildings in good condition so pupils can learn in a safe and effective environment. SCA should be used to keep buildings safe and in good working order by tackling poor building condition, building compliance, energy efficiency and health and safety issues. Further advice can be found in Essential School Maintenance - a guide for schools.
As the bodies responsible for schools' sites, organisations that receive SCA need to:
- carry out their duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and comply with all relevant building regulations. This includes management of asbestos where relevant. You can read guidance about asbestos management in schools
- understand in detail the data relating to the current condition of your estate and develop a long-term asset management strategy
- maintain the estate for the long-term by renewing and modernising key building elements through preventative works and replacement when they are beyond economic repair
You can find more information on SCA and how it should be used.
Salix type loans
All MATS and their academies can apply to the latest Salix Energy Efficiency Fund.
Given the importance of achieving energy savings, MATs may also consider using their flexibility to transfer funding from their allocation across the estate to support energy saving projects in their individual academies.
MATs can return any savings achieved through capital projects (for example through energy efficiency projects) by transferring revenue funding over and above any funds retained for shared services. This could be a way of building up a sinking fund to assist investment across the estate over a longer period of time. Alternatively, MATs may choose to allow their academies to keep any savings for re-investment within the academy.
PFI academies
In most cases condition work and maintenance issues in a PFI academy should be covered by the contract with the PFI provider. For expansion projects at these academies, MATs will need to negotiate with the PFI provider about their plans, to determine the willingness of the provider to take on the project, or their willingness for a third party coming on site to complete the works for an additional standalone block or similar. The trust will need to consider the costs of any proposed development in light of the negotiations with the PFI provider and assure themselves that it represents good value for money.
MAT Capital Funding Network
The MAT Capital Funding Network was set up in 2013 by trusts receiving a capital funding allocation from EFA. Now known as The Trust Network, their website includes a discussion forum and resources such as capital plans and strategies. More than 80 MATs have registered as members of the Network.
The network is led, managed and administered by MATs, not by EFA. Its remit is 'To provide members with opportunities to explore how to develop effective, efficient and economically sustainable systems that maintain and develop building estates that enhance teaching and learning.' This objective is delivered through regular meetings and events, peer support, and sharing information and expertise.
