I am so grateful to have such wonderful and diverse clients.
Here are testimonials from some of them!
I joined Tough Love Coaching over two years ago as I needed help getting back into shape following the birth of my two children. I had been a fairly active person but I wasn't seeing any results. However, after a very short time with Michelle, the transformation was obvious. I dropped the few … Continue reading Amanda Molony – January 19, 2017
Michelle Furlotte is an awesome trainer. She is the perfect combination of tough ("Michelle, you are KILLING me!") and love ("Bel, you're getting so strong!"), and she works with the whole person; mentally, nutritionally, emotionally and physically. I've recommended her to a lot of friends and they all keep coming back for more!
I've trained with others coaches in the past, but Michelle is by far the best, both in terms of seeing tangible results and making the training enjoyable. Each session with Michelle is different, and the variety means it never gets boring, and in her true 'tough love' style I'm always being challenged to become fitter … Continue reading Christie Loustau – Jan 10, 2017
"Being a cyclist, Michelle tailors my sessions toward my upcoming competition and events. I also love that no training session is ever the same. Michelle takes into account any injury's or reflections on how I might feel when I train, whether is a hard day in the office or pushing me out of my comfort … Continue reading Efim Elski – February 16, 2017
"I have trained with Michelle for more than 10 years. Over this time I have seen some amazing gains and, despite seeing her twice a week for so many years, she still manages to surprise me with new exercises. We have fun and get the results I want!"

Sailboat accident kills three Boy Scouts on Lake O' The Pines
Texas Game Wardens are investigating a fatal boating accident that occurred Saturday afternoon, Aug. 5, on Lake O' The Pines involving three East Texas teens on a Boy Scout outing. Preliminary investigations and observations indicate the vessel, a catamaran sailboat, collided with an overhead transmission power line and those onboard may have been electrocuted as a result.
The three occupants of the vessel, ages 11, 16 and 18, were members of Boy Scout Troop 620 from Hallsville, Texas, between Marshall and Longview, just off I-20. All three were wearing personal flotation devices at the time of the accident.
Game wardens arrived at the Alley Creek area of Lake O' The Pines near Avinger, Texas, shortly before 2 p.m. Saturday to find a Hobiecat Catamaran on fire with the sails up about 300 yards north of the power lines. Wardens discovered an 18-year-old male onboard and a 16-year-old in the water a short distance away. Both victims suffered severe bodily injuries and were deceased. A third unresponsive 11-year-old victim was located in a boat nearby and was being provided CPR. He was transported to LSU Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The accident is being investigated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's statewide boating accident reconstruction and mapping team.

brunel broderers
Like my discovery of Russian textiles this years Textile Festival also lead me to discover a collaboration of textile artists called the Brunel Broderers. They had an intriguing exhibition called Curious Drawers and both myself and the children were captivated. I love it when interaction is encouraged and here gloves were provided, enticing the visitor to touch the exhibits, open the drawers and to discover what lay inside.
One artist (sorry, I'm scant on detail as I had children with me) had made a collection of these incredibly delicate draws out of tissue paper stitched together and filled with Victorian-esque (made up word) paraphernalia, they were absolutely beautiful,
and look at the gorgeous labels. I'm wanting to dig the tissue paper and sewing machine out as I write!
My little girl's favourite was this tiny cabinet with lots of draws and doors to open, and she was especially pleased to be given the magnifying glass with which to examine the contents. Butterflies, beetles and bugs lived within and all were subjected to much scrutiny.
I really liked this simple seaside piece. I love the way the textiles have been created to suggest all manner of beach findings. The foam of a wave, or shingle, the shapes made in the sand by tiny sea creatures. But what I also liked about this was that it could very easily become the basis for a child's project. When we're at the sea we love to collect all sorts of things that we find lying around and I think to make it into some kind of memorabilia is a great idea.
Then finally there were these Jars of Joy. They weren't actually part of the exhibition, just for sale. But again I love the idea of collections with memories and I thought (if I knew where to get hold of such jars) it would be lovely to catalogue trips or holidays with one's own jars created and collected over time. Again, potentially, another great project for the kids.

Calling me lazy in front of the whole world? That hurts. :-) I'd comment on the van but I've only been in the pilot seat for about 5 minutes. No, I really like it a lot and I love the color. We hope to enjoy many fun trips as a family in this new van.

I came across and issue where we needed to have an auto response sent every time users sent an email to a specific distribution list. In our case since the distribution list already existed a shared mailbox was created. This shared mailbox was then added to the DL. From there a rule was created where the shared mailbox would send an auto reply.
Only problem, when an email was sent to the DL the sender would not receive an auto reply. Emailing the shared mailbox directly did produce the desired result which verified that the rule which was created did in fact work.
Turns out by default distribution lists do not pass auto responses – in order to configure this you need to enable the following parameter: SendOofMessageToOriginatorEnabled
By default this parameter is set to false – once set to true auto responses were received when emailing the distribution list.
Example: Set-DistributionGroup -Identity <identity info> -Name <Group Name> -SendOofMessageToOriginatorEnabled $true

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy is a treatment approach for families that helps children with symptoms of emotional disorders, including Complex Trauma and disorders of attachment.
It was originally developed by psychologist Daniel Hughes as an intervention for children whose emotional distress resulted from earlier separation from familiar caregivers. Hughes cites attachment theory and particularly the work of John Bowlby as theoretical motivations for dyadic developmental psychotherapy.
Dyadic developmental psychotherapy is based on the theory that maltreated infants not only frequently have disorganized attachments but also, as they mature, are likely to develop rigid self-reliance that becomes a compulsive need to control all aspects of their environment.
Caregivers are seen as a source of fear with the result that children endeavor to control their caregivers through manipulation, over-compliance, intimidation or role reversal in order to keep themselves safe. Such children may also suffer intrusive memories secondary to trauma and as a result may be reluctant or unwilling to participate in treatment. It is anticipated that such children will try to actively avoid the exposure involved in developing a therapeutic relationship and will resist being directed into areas of shame and trauma.
It is proposed that an attachment based treatment may be more effective for such foster and adoptive children than traditional treatment and parenting interventions.
"To be effective, the child must be engaged by the therapist at the level of pre-verbal attunement rather than in a setting of rational discussions. The therapy must also involve a great deal of physical contact between the child and the therapist and parent. During much of the most intense therapeutic work, the child is being touched or held by the therapist or parent. The intense emotions are received, accepted, and integrated into the self. Within a therapeutic atmosphere based on attunement, a child is able to begin to explore aspects of his/herself and the relationships with their parents that have previously not been accessible. The development of both the child's attachment to their parents and his/her integrated self is the primary goal of the therapist; all else is secondary." Daniel Hughesax

They call him "faggot." They call him "idiot." They call him "agitator." They call him, simply, "the most hated man in hockey."
And how does Sean Avery respond? With a shrug.
"I laugh it off...doesn't faze me," he says. "If you're going to dish it out you've got to be able to take it, right?"
Sean Avery
Signed as a free agent last July to be the toxic oomph in the Dallas Stars' Stanley Cup potion, Avery arrives as a strong, sissified contradiction. In a sport that venerates mullets and missing teeth, he is simultaneously one of the NHL's dirtiest goons and a modern metrosexual boasting good looks, a fashion fetish, homosexual friends and orchestrated ambiguity. While his macho peers spent last summer fishin' and golfin', he interned at Vogue.
Truth be told, Avery fancies Madonna over Modano.
"Other players call me faggot and homo, things like that," Avery says in Frisco's cold, dark StarCenter after a practice last week. "I've learned that people in sports are some of the most narrow-minded. But I really don't care. It's not my job to fit into their expectations. Or to be nice, really. I'm just going to be me and do what I can to help my team win. That's it."
For the record, Avery is not gay. He's dated actress Elisha Cuthbert, model Rachel Hunter and was featured in the 2007 issue of People's "Sexiest Man Alive." Very un-gay.
Chuckles Avery, "I think I have a pretty clear track record."
Not that he wouldn't mind—or even invite—some doubt. Anything to piss off the establishment and its preconceived notions, whether they be a traditional goalie like New Jersey's Martin Brodeur or a Baptist Bible-beater like Dallas pastor Robert "Gay Is Not OK" Jeffress. While playing for the New York Rangers in last year's playoffs, Avery stood the hockey world on its head by employing a legal—yet unethical—tactic of turning his back to the puck and face-guarding Brodeur with waving arms and flailing stick.
And for years, he's played with dolls.
"I always loved dressing up," Avery says without a hint of emotion. "It's a hobby. Some guys play golf. I hate golf. I love clothes."
Uh-oh. I suddenly feel inadequate, slumming as I am in jeans from modest designer Levi Strauss, Foot Locker sandals and a ratty T-shirt emblazoned with "Wimbledon '04". Avery, in contrast, is wearing—at least to the untrained eye—what looks to be run-of-the-mill jeans and a dark blue V-neck sweater. But considering how he spent his summer vacation, it's a good bet the ensemble is more Gucci than Garanimals. In the off-season, he wrote a guest column on MensVogue.com, took in the unveiling of Marc Jacobs' latest collection with Winona Rider and Martha Stewart, and sat front row at Narciso Rodriguez's runway show.
The Devil wears Prada, indeed.
Avery's personal life is so provocative that it's being made into a movie. A romantic comedy chick-flick. How'd you guess?
"I'm fascinated by women's clothing," Avery says. "Just all the possibilities with all the accessories. I just find it really interesting."
Day job be damned, Avery dreams of playing on a line with Calvin Klein. He'd rather be interviewed by Ralph Lauren than Ralph Strangis. He is nothing if not determined to give your prejudiced mug a swift fore-check to the kisser.
"At heart I'm a hockey player," he says. "Just not a typical one."
No shit.
Avery's an acquired taste, the bitter beer-face antithesis of your father's American sports hero. First of all, he's Canadian. He's more annoying than Jar Jar Binks. And as a kid, he balanced stealing the babysitter's dolls by getting kicked out of school for fighting.
He's listed at 5-foot-10, but the Texas Department of Public Safety says I'm 5-foot-8, and Avery and I see eye-to-eye physically and philosophically. In a culture dumbed down by coach-speak and pre-fabbed sound bytes, he is everything that's right with sports.
Intriguing. Candid. Genuine. Refreshing. Paradoxical. Successful.
Despite winning a Stanley Cup in Detroit and being given a four-year, $15 million contract in Dallas, Avery despises talking hockey. Despite being less than 200 pounds, he's one of the NHL's most feared players. And despite for years thriving in the center of the universe (Manhattan), he's now comfortable living in the middle of nowhere (Frisco).
For a guy who starred in an '05 movie about hockey legend Maurice Richard, is a wine aficionado and has appeared on MTV's Cribs, TRL and Punk'd, the prospect of a trip to Dave & Buster's inside Stonebriar Centre mall probably can't be too stimulating.
"It's not too bad," Avery says of his new environment. "I get to spend a lot more time in the car listening to music."
Ask him about power-play schematics and Avery mumbles. Ask about his iPod and he immediately chirps up: "Basia Bulat, she's from Canada. And Wilco. I've gotten into them lately."
Single and 28, he's begun testing Dallas' nightlife. Surprisingly, his favorite watering hole is The Balcony Club, the tiny jazz bar atop Lakewood Theater, where he took in a TV on the Radio concert two weeks ago.
But while Avery's lifestyle drifts far from hockey, he makes his living with the things he does on the ice. Nasty, deliberate, agitating things.
When we last saw the Stars they were re-kindling our hockey interest in the spring by winning two playoff series and pushing the eventual champion Red Wings in the Western Conference Finals. But for too long the Stars have been too finesse. Too European. They needed an edge. They needed general manager Brett Hull's former Detroit roommate.
"We were a little too vanilla," Hull said at the controversial signing of Avery. "He's feisty and tenacious. He'll hit and fight and find ways to score. He's fearless. We need that."
But as the Stars stumbled out of the gate 4-6-2—despite owner Tom Hicks' contention that they should compete for the Cup—fingers inevitably began pointing at Avery. Captain Brenden Morrow admitted in training camp that he was among "the 98 percent of players that hated Avery." Teammates roll their eyes when Avery's name comes up, resigned to absorbing his tactics because his skills add a valuable dimension.
After an embarrassing loss in Boston recently in which Avery and Steve Ott drew penalties for fighting, arguing with referees and yelling at fans, Modano called the actions "idiotic and stupid."
"If that's what we're going for," he said, "then they need to find me an office job."
Avery has been, well, Avery. Elbowing opponents. Strategically placing his stick in the most sensitive of areas. Trash-talking. And, most important, being productive. Through 14 games, he led the Stars in penalty minutes (58) and plus-minus (+3).

If we can forgive Terrell Owens for desecrating sports' most sacred star, surely we can pardon Avery for being chippy on the ice and eclectic off it. Right?
"It's just a matter of time until we come together," Avery says. "We're too good of a team. For me, it's just continuing to push and push, to the edge. That's how I've always played and always lived. That's what it's about for me."
Sean Avery isn't the Dallas Stars' "problem." But, if it makes you feel better, go ahead.
He's been called worse.

Fraudsters invade digital. Who has your back?
The latest numbers around fraud, this time from ANA and White Ops, are certainly disheartening: 23% of video ads served to bots. 11% of display ads. A global waste of $6.3B in 2015 if these numbers are accurate and defenses remain static.
And we have no reason to believe the numbers are false. Our own Chris Le May recently wrote that when digital and programmatic are attracting this much money, it's a cinch to expect the fraudsters will follow.
Four things are worth thinking about when these studies come out.
- Fraud sucks. But it's also an indicator of the health of a market. Fraudsters follow investment. If programmatic wasn't working, brands would shift budget elsewhere, and fraud would decline. And the opposite is happening. TV grew 4.8% according to Magna's December 2014 report (below their spring forecast of 8.6%). Digital is up 15.6%.
- Our industry is big, getting bigger and diffuse. There's a lot of finger pointing and "Not my job" in the air. That's means it's going to take a while for the scales to tip in favor of the good guys.
- One view is to give up on programmatic and say "fraud can't be fixed." That ultra-conservative approach guarantees reduced fraud, but it also guarantees low performance.
- A better approach, in our view, is to demand that your buy side partners deliver a guarantee around fraud. That way, you don't have to worry.
Yup. We do that last bit. We offer customers a 97% fraud free guarantee. Check here for details, but big picture, we're approaching this in a manner similar to how banks and credit card companies approached the phishing email and identity theft waves when online banking was invented: Give customers an assurance that they can participate fully in this new world without losing their shirts.

What to Ask When Selecting an Energy Provider
Retail energy choice gives K-12 schools the chance to access innovative products and services, and potentially lower energy costs.
But with retail choice comes the responsibility to select the provider that will best meet your needs. When researching energy providers, be sure to ask these five questions:
Question 1
How have you helped other K-12 schools and school districts like mine manage energy costs?
Why ask? Your supplier should have a track record of servicing educational facilities of your size with similar needs.
What should I listen for?
Challenges the provider helped the customer overcome
Products and services used
Specific results
See how Direct Energy Business helped one Texas School District identify thousands of dollars in savings.
Question 2
What kinds of tools do you have to help our schools navigate energy markets and control costs?
Why ask? Your supplier should empower you with information to make smart energy decisions.
What should I listen for?
Market trends and forecast reports
Historical volume data
Benchmarking data
Question 3
What products and services do you offer to help our schools lower our demand for energy—and costs?
Why ask? A provider should be committed to helping you use less energy and cut costs.
What should I listen for?
Demand Response program
Energy efficiency solutions
Alternative energy products
Question 4
What kinds of products do you offer for customers with a low tolerance for risk?
Why ask? Your provider should tailor their offerings to suit your budget goals and level of risk tolerance.
What should I listen for?
Fixed price/firm-variable price and hybrid supply products
Strategic services to help execute purchasing
Question 5
How do you structure your pricing, and how would a monthly bill break down for schools like us?
Why ask? It's vital that you understand how you'll be charged for energy.
What should I look for?
Clear indications of costs that are charged separately (e.g., capacity, line losses)
Costs charged by contracted volume vs. consumption
With due diligence, your K-12 school can find an energy supplier offering the right product mix and the expertise to help you manage your energy bills while providing the best educational environment for your students.

Have you ever dreamed of autofocusing your manual focus lenses? Well, now you can. All you need is one of a selection of supported Sony Alpha E-mount cameras, a Techart Pro adapter and, depending on the lens you want to use, a Leica M-mount adapter. This is what we discovered on our rounds of Photokina 2016 today.
See the Techart Pro AF adapter mechanism in action (above)
The adapter is designed to work with selected Sony Alpha E-mount camera bodies. It natively supports Leica M-mount lenses but you can add a second intermediate adapter to mount almost any other manual focus 35mm SLR or lens and some other rangefinder camera lenses. Currently the adapter only works with the Mark 2 versions of the A7 and a7R and the A6300.
So how does it work? Fundamentally, it simply moves the lens mount forward and back, moving the whole lens with it. You can use either single action AF or continuous AF. The adapter communicates with the camera's AF system just as if it was an autofocus lens.
Sounds great? Well, yes – and no. It certainly works and the focus action is reasonably swift. It's not particularly noisy, either and the adapter is quite compact. So what's the problem? The range of flange/back adjustment for focusing is limited to 4.5mm, according to the spokesperson who demonstrated the adapter to me. This means that many lenses need to be pre-focused so that the adapter has enough focusing range to reach focus.
You can own a Techart Pro AF adapter for €310. Would you consider one? Let us know in the comment box below!

She Who Heals
Mother, sing me a song
That will ease my pain,
Mend broken bones,
Bring wholeness again.
Catch my babies
When they are born,
Sing my death song,
Teach me how to mourn.
Show me the Medicine
Of the healing herbs,
The value of spirit,
The way I can serve.
Mother, heal my heart
So that I can see
The gifts of yours
That can live through me.

How to SERVE THE TRUTH
The Cancer Moon Sister
The Cancer Moon Woman is wholly centered within the Womb of her being. She is guided by her inner compass that knows always which direction is the Medicine of the moment. She trusts, like the Sea herself, in the ebb and flow. She lives by the tides of the Moon. She IS the Moon ~ embodied in the flesh of the Goddess. She is a creature of the dark who wields the strength of all the birthing pains that have ever been and ever will be, for she is the Divine Mother. Her drum resounds the pulse that connects us all to this Great Web of Life. She is the Nurturer, the Healer, the Birther. Her tears flow freely to the Earth as her offering of power and acknowledgment that we are ALIVE.
"I AM moved by the Voice of my Womb."
4th Moon ~ Womb Wisdom - Module 4
with Christiane Anna
~ The Depths of the Wombs Voice ~
In Module 4, we begin to feel the Power of the Womb, the dynamic Life Force we call Shakti.
Deep within all of us lies a deep primordial unstoppable force. She can be chaotic, uncontrollable, overflowing with passion and mystery, darkness, and untamable life-force energy & power.
This force can be scary or threatening, and also be nurturing. Contractions cause fear and more chaos. Expanding and non~resistance will allow bliss to flow through you. To deny this primal depth of the Wombs voice within each of us can lead us to overindulge in the external world. Love will allow us to surrender to her internal dialogue. Falling into the dark depths of her feminine energy allows us to live in wild freedom and joy.
During our Live Call, you will be personally accessing your own deeper innate power to:
- Bring gifts of presence to the Womb through devotion, appreciation, adoration, and deep respect
- You will learn that the Womb does not respond to the voice of fear or judgment.
- We will open up her voice and sound down into the depths of this most precious cauldron.
- We will learn that the Womb is the creator and the voice of Divine Wisdom. A voice separate from the mind, clear and impossible to ignore.
- And by following the Wombs voice you will initiate shifts that allow you to feel guided along the path to make changes: in your life~style and the relationships that do not serve to flower your truth.
4th Moon ~ Moon Medicine & Astrological Influences
- Each Month we will be diving deep into the energies of the New and Full Moons and the various Astrological Cycles that are most significant during this time. Jessica will be guiding us to gain a deeper understanding of the Celestial and Moon energies and how we can come into greater alignment with these natural forces of Nature and harness them for the greater good within our own lives and the collective.

PARIS: French oil and gas firm Total reported better than expected fourth-quarter results on Thursday and announced further cost reductions and asset sales in 2016 to enable it to weather low oil prices.
Oil prices have fallen by 70 percent since mid-2014 due to global oversupply and slow economic growth, hitting oil and gas company profits and forcing them to cut costs, reduce capital spending, delay projects and cut jobs.
"The resilience in a downgraded environment demonstrates the effectiveness of the group's integrated model," Total's Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanne said in a statement.
Total said its net adjusted income in the last quarter of 2015 fell 26 percent to $2.1 billion year-on-year compared with the fourth quarter of 2014.
The firm's hydrocarbons output grew 5.5 percent to 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day year-on-year.
Reuters analysts had expected Total's net adjusted profit at $1.931 billion and production at 2.371 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The firm said it plans to cut capital spending to around $19 billion in 2016 and targets asset sales of about $4 billion.
Total said it took a one-time charge of $3.7 billion in the quarter.
It said it plans to pay a fourth-quarter dividend of 0.61 euros per share and shareholders will have the option of receiving the payment in cash or new discounted shares.

New coaching staff gets tough on Bucs
"Finish the play, Gerald! Do not stop until the play is over! Get to the quarterback and keep on going until you bring the quarterback down!"
The face behind the booming voice is unmistakable, even if his team colors seem a bit out of place at first glance. But on a scorching Friday morning in Tampa, former three-time All-Pro linebacker Bryan Cox, dressed in all black, IS giving it to Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy like he would have given it to an AFC East opposing left guard throughout the 1990s.
The third overall selection of the 2010 NFL Draft, McCoy's been a bit of a disappointment in his first two years in the league, missing time with injuries and failing to justify his hefty price tag and high draft status. On this particular morning, Cox is zeroed in on the onetime Oklahoma star.
"We don't stop until we get to the quarterback, gentlemen! Gerald, we don't stop!" Cox shouts with a mix of fury, encouragement and disgust.
A play after being bullied to the ground by free-agent acquisition Carl Nicks, McCoy responds to Cox's pleas with a swift and powerful swim move on the former New Orleans Saints star. McCoy gets past the highest-paid offensive guard in all of football and angrily attacks a tackling dummy serving as an opposing quarterback.
Cox explodes.
"Thattaboy, Gerald! We do not stop until we get to that quarterback. We do not stop! See what happens when we don't stop?!"
Cox, who once saluted Bills fans with two middle fingers before a game in Buffalo, then hurries over to McCoy and slaps him hard on his shoulder pads. "We do not stop, gentlemen!"
Cox is clearly the voice and face during this particular drill; the "hype man" for a brand-new coaching staff in Tampa Bay that's gotten little to no hype at all this offseason.
But the former Miami Dolphins linebacker is far from the most recognizable name on the call sheet. Looming a few paces away, in a visor behind the defenseless tackling dummy, is Butch Davis — a onetime coach of the Miami Hurricanes and Cleveland Browns and, most recently, North Carolina Tar Heels. Davis, who has nearly four decades of coaching experience on his resume, is serving as an adviser in Tampa Bay this season.
Just a few feet away from Davis is Ron Turner, a former head coach at Illinois and ex-offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears. Turner, now the quarterbacks coach in Tampa Bay, is in what appears to be a deep conversation with former New York Giants quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan, now the Bucs' offensive coordinator, and Jimmy Raye, who has 34 years of NFL coaching experience.
And, yet, Greg Schiano, the man on the very top of the Bucs' new coaching org chart, walks the sideline on this 100-degree morning, a whistle in his mouth, with zero years of NFL head-coaching experience. Despite all the other decades of NFL coaching tenure on the payroll, there's no question who's the boss down in Tampa Bay this summer.
"Those few weeks are a bit of a blur," says Tampa Bay general manager Mark Dominik, watching the practice session from a tented area about 40 feet from the field. "Between the coaching search, free agency and, then, the draft — it made for several consecutive sleepless nights."
A year after shocking the league and unexpectedly winning 10 games in 2010, the Buccaneers gave up on head coach Raheem Morris and lost 10 straight games to finish the 2011 season. They didn't just quit on Morris; they quit on themselves. In the final five weeks of the year, Tampa Bay gave up 38, 41, 31, 48 and 45 points. This was worse than the badminton scandal that rocked the Olympics last week — the Bucs didn't just mail it in on one Sunday; they mailed it in for two straight months.
Dominik cleaned house and after an extended search process that included a roller-coaster ride with Oregon coach Chip Kelly, found a no-nonsense disciplinarian who would no doubt get the young Buccaneers into shape in 2012. After taking the job, Schiano brought in a star-studded cast of trusted veteran coordinators, assistants and advisers. The Buccaneers coaching staff, though not getting much pub this offseason, is a veritable "Who's Who" of NFL and college football coaching history.
Under Schiano, hardly a players' coach, things are different than they were with the previous coaching regime. The Buccaneers are all made accountable for their own mistakes. There's no special treatment whatsoever, and there's certainly no leeway. You're either with Schiano's program or you're not. And if you're not, you won't be wearing the pewter and black this season.
As Bryan Cox dug into McCoy — a player ProFootballTalk recently described as "The Ryan Leaf to Ndamukong Suh's Peyton Manning" — on Friday, the Bucs' second-round pick from that same 2010 draft was somewhere in Illinois, trying to make the Bears' roster. Brian Price, the 2009 Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year and the 35th selection of the 2010 Draft, was traded last week for a future seventh-round pick. Meanwhile, Dez Briscoe, a receiver who led the team in touchdown catches last year, was waived last week, too. Kellen Winslow was shown the door earlier this summer. Though the Bucs didn't offer any official comments on any of the three players, it's widely assumed they didn't "fit" into what Schiano's looking to do in Tampa.
Some guys who do? First-round pick Mark Barron, a punishing safety who'll be in the starting lineup, lined up next to Ronde Barber, Week One vs. the Carolina Panthers; Vincent Jackson, a 6-foot-5 wide receiver who was acquired with a five-year, $55,555,555 deal back in March; and Carl Nicks, the most dominant interior offensive lineman in the NFL. The front office loves what they have in their second first-round pick, running back Doug Martin out of Boise State. And franchise quarterback Josh Freeman is 20 pounds lighter and looking more confident than he has in any training camp before. Dallas Clark provides much needed veteran leadership, and kicker Connor Barth was locked up with a long-term deal.
Those names are obviously the big-ticket attractions, but there are other players who have the Bucs organization excited. Leonard Johnson, an undrafted rookie free agent out of Iowa State, has stood out since rookie minicamps. Dekoda Watson, a seventh-round pick out of Florida State in 2010, is working with both the linebackers and the defensive ends throughout camp. Roy Miller, a guy who's had his ups and downs in his three years with the Bucs, has made quite an impression this summer, as well. From top to bottom, there's optimism and enthusiasm in Tampa Bay this summer.
But don't let that fool you. In a division that features the Saints, Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers, any talk of division crowns or Super Bowl runs must be tempered. They're the Andy Murrays of the NFC South — a tremendously talented team that must compete with the Federer, Djokovic and Nadal of its division.
Because, as good as the Bucs are this season, they know they won't be playing January football unless they finish above .500 in their six games against their division foes. If there's one realist in the bunch, it's the man in black with the familiar voice.
"Man, it's August," Cox says when I ask him how the team's looking after Friday's practice. "August football doesn't mean a damn thing. Let's see how they look when they actually step on the field."
As for Dominik, he's just eager to see the finished product of his offseason's work. After a wait that was a bit longer than most expected, he brought in the right head coach and got the right coaching staff to come aboard. He got three of the most highly sought-after free agents — Jackson, Nicks and cornerback Eric Wright — to sign on the dotted line. His staff then hit what appear to be home runs with the first three picks of the draft (Barron, Martin, linebacker Lavonte David). The excitement in Tampa Bay is real.
Whether or not Cox wants to hear it, it's justified.
"Those were a wild few weeks for all of us," Dominik says with a laugh as he reflects upon the mad scramble that was Tampa's March and April.
He steps away to shake hands with a longtime season-ticket holder. He asks a young Bucs fan when he'll be wearing the pewter. He glides over to pat the team's mascot on the back. Dominik looks at the young Buccaneers as they practice at full speed in full pads in the 100-degree heat.
"We're definitely happy with what we've got in place right now," he says with a nod. "The fan response has been incredible, and there's good energy. Everyone's excited for Week One."
Indeed, one of the first things Schiano did after the NFL schedule was released in April was make sure the date and time of Week One's game against the Panthers was ingrained in every player's mind. They all know about Sept 9, 1 p.m. They've known about it for months.
But these aren't the 2011 Buccaneers. Some faces might be the same, but they're not the same team. The vibe has changed; the look and feel is completely different.
Everyone — from Bryan Cox to Gerald McCoy to Mark Dominik to the team mascot — is hoping the results are, too.

About Me
Ok, I'll admit it. I'm a mistake machine.
I seem to make a new mistake everyday; by now I seem to have built up a full repertoire of blunders and slip-ups. It almost seems characteristic of me, like an asteroid perpetually hurtling toward mistake-infested doom. I might misplace my phone or wallet. I might accidentally leave an Oxford comma dangling in the wind. Or sometimes I might make the bicep too long in a figure drawing.
But there's good news.
The mistakes make us who we are. We stumble through our lives, searching for a moment of clarity, of complete nirvana and understanding. But the moment we get there (If we ever do get there), we stop learning. And I never want that to stop. With every story or art piece I complete, whether it be for the school paper or my own pleasure, I know I've made mistakes. Fortunately with mistakes comes the learning curve. And I know that next time the mistakes will be fewer. My phone remains in my pocket. One hit of a button and the Oxford comma's a dead man. A quick tip and a couple night's practice and that bicep will turn out a-okay.
Right now, at this moment, I'm right on course, headed straight for another mistake some down the road. But with every mistake, I get better. We get better.
So bring it on.
Elijah Henry-2015
I was born in West Hills, California in 1997. Since I was a little kid I showed an interest in not just art itself, but in making full-fledged illustrated picture books. I have always wanted to tell stories, whether to be through the written word or through the art I create. I was lucky to have found my passion very early on, and with it an undying drive to see my dreams through. Now I have expanded both my artistic and storytelling skills to fit an ever-changing and enigmatic world: the one we're living in. This website will hopefully document and showcase my flow of ideas, as well as works I have done that emphasize the fundamentals of art. If you have any questions or requests, don't hesitate to email me at…

Consider the universal property for the fraction field of an integer domain:
Let $R$ be a integral domain, $F(R)$, its fraction field, $K$ some field and $f:R\rightarrow K$ a injective homomorphism, i.e. $R$ is embedded via $f$ in $K$. Then there exists a unique homomorphism $g$ such that $g\circ \varepsilon =f$, where $ \varepsilon $ is the map that embeds $R$ in $F(R)$.
Now my question is: Can we drop the requirement that $f$ is injective ? If we do that, the proof I have in mind has to be modified, since in it $g$ is defined as $g(\frac{a}{b})=f(a)f(b)^{-1}$ and the fact that $f$ is injectiv implies that $f(b)$ is nonzero, which is necessary for $f(b)$ to be invertible.
Although I couldn't come up with a new proof where I define my $g$ in a different way, I also couldn't come p with a counterexample, i.e. some $R,K$ and $f$ such that for every homomorphisms $g$ we have $ g\circ \varepsilon \neq f$. And looking through the internet and books makes me think that the "injectiveness" of $f$ is necessary.
EDIT Since I didn't put enough thought to this, as the first comment shows, I'm modifying my question to consider $g$ only as a ring homomorphism.

Art on the Rivers is coming to Frontier Park in historic Saint Charles on August 27. While we're really excited to be hosting this event in conjunction with the Greenway Network and Race for the Rivers, it's out makers, artists, and crafters that make the whole thing possible for us. Shows like this give us the opportunity to talk to the public about our individual makers stories, and also to show that there are artists living and working in the community and making a living from making things by hand. We're thrilled to be working with each of these exciting artists, and look forward to introducing them all to you!
Today, we caught up with Bryan of Vivacious Lathers to chat about his work, being a maker, inspiration, and goals. Join us as we meet our makers!
How did you get into making things?
I used to have extremely dry skin that would become even more irritated after using "Big Brand Name Soaps". I thought there had to be something better! So I searched high and low for the best ingredients and oils for the skin, and came up with Vivacious Lathers, which is a 100% vegan soap bar that softens and nourishes the skin. The soap is completely plant-based, which includes the base oils, the essential oils, and even the colorants are plant-based! Since using Vivacious Lathers, I no longer have dry, itchy skin, and wanted to share this great product with the world!
Where does your making happen?
Right now, everything is made at home in the spare bedroom.
What inspires you?
The most inspiring part of making plant-based soaps is when customers tell me how great the soaps are for their skin! It makes me feel good that I can offer them a product that actually helps soothe and nourish their skin!
Why handmade?
Their is a lot of love that goes into every batch of soap, as well as in all of our other products, that you just can't get from chemical laden, commercial soaps.
Are there any materials that you have used in your products that you think may be unexpected?
All of the materials used are plant-based! The funnest parts of each soap is, of course, the essential oils and the colors we use because everyone loves to smell and look at the soaps. And by using essential oils and plant-based colorants, we are removing all of those nasty chemicals known as fragrance oils and synthetic colorants. Also, all of our packing is compostable, recyclable, or reusable!
What personality trait do you possess that you think helps you the most as a professional crafter?
I think I'm a pretty open-minded person and a good listener. I make the soaps and products that my customers want.
What do you think differentiates crafting from other types of business?
You definitely get a higher quality product with greater attention to detail when you buy handcrafted items.
What do you enjoy most about selling your handmade goods?
It makes me happy knowing that my products are great for my customer's skin. They are also great for the environment too because we strive to use minimal packing, and the packing we do use is compostable, recyclable, or reusable.
Where do you hope to be in 5 years? 10?
Spreading the lathers to more people!
You can see more of Bryan's amazing work in his online shop at www.squareup.com/store/vivacious-lathers or stop by and talk her in person at Art on the Rivers on August 27!

'Before we are entirely convinced that they aren't true, we must reject the message of our wounds. It's a way of unlocking the door to Jesus. Agreements lock the door from the inside. Renouncing the agreements unlocks the doors to Him.' Captivating
Friday, May 25, 2012
As a kids I never suffered from allergies. It was quite nice and I considered myself blessed for that. It seems that reign of allergy freedom has left me. :(. Last year I had an incredibly swollen throat, and that was it. So I went to the doc and they did a strep test cause I was convinced that's what it was. (I used to get strep all the time as a kid.) Who thinks of allergies if you've never had 'em? Well the test came back negative. This year around the same time as last year (this past week to be precise) I have had the most difficulty with swallowing again because of a swollen throat. Now you would think I would jump right to the conclusion that this would be the same issue that I had last year and therefore allergies. Nope, I didn't. It wasn't until today that it dawned on me that this is indeed the same experience I had last year. All I have to do now is find some allergy meds that will actually work. Oh man, I better start getting used to thinking like someone who has allergies. Why do these things have to develop as we get older? Let's just hope I don't concoct any allergies to any of my fav foods. Then we'll be in trouble.

hello 2003 audi a4 1.8t had all my
vacuum lines canceled so i seen a
vacuum line that comes from
manifold pluged and the line from the
diverter valve also cut so.i did some
search and they said to run a new one
and i did it turned on but when i turn
engine off and tried to start again it
didnt want to until like the 3 time this
happened everytime so i put pag the
old line that had a plug and left other
hanging like before and i started it
and it still does the same doesnt start
till like the third time i try idk what to
do know does anyone know what
went wrong or why this happens?is
there extra air in manifold?
12 Answers
I don't know what you mean by all vacuum lines 'cancelled' But there should be no hoses hanging without a 'home' and extra air in manifold..no. At idle there is a lot of vacuum in intake manifold and drops with throttle.
It just occurred to me that 'extra air' is vacuum leak...click for full screen
i.had really.bad vacuum leaks about.a month ago so this mecanic plugged.the.air.lines.wich you can do.i.have.seen many.audis with put.them the only.bad thing.is.he.took the diverter valve and cut.the little hose and it was working Fine until i tried to.reconect it to.the top manifold port the little one thats on the corner thats When the car started but once i.turn ut off to.start it agaim thats when it just sounds like it wants to.start but it wont until.like the 3 try so i put.everything back.to.how.it was.before but its still not.turning on right away so now im confused when it does.turn on it doesnt idle rough or.anything it seems normal its just the starting.part
forgot to.mention that before i tried to hook this line up everything was good no rough idle
I believe you, don't get me wrong. But that's a new one on me, being able to plug all vacuum lines. You have no EVAP, no PCV, and that may be part of the trouble. Without a vacuum line your EVAP canister will not purge and that can cause problems starting.
Keep in mind everything is going to have to be put back to factory specs if you live anywhere you have to have emissions testing. It will never pass
yea thanks bud i live in mexico.haha so.they dont care here.but do you think it can be the fuel.injecters or starter?cus if.its back to.how.i.had it i dont see why the problem doesnt stop if it was running fine idk but thank you
No, not starter, it cranks over. Not injectors either because it ran fine before
But you really need PCV. that sucks the blowby out of the crankcase and will greatly shorten oil life
ok.thanks hopefully will.find a good audi.mecanic here.its kinda hard thanks for.you.help
I just had found out the reason my Audi rpm gauge was jumping was because of one of the vacuum hoses was worn out and stripped.. it made the hissing noise.. as a matter of fact I am now thinking I should switch all of the hoses.... my Audi wont even start when sitting cold for at least 8 hours. it will have a hard time to do so...
Yeah and that pcv either replace it or for under ten bucks get a new one.

The president of the NSW branch of the Returned and Services League of Australia, Don Rowe, has accused RSL clubs of exploiting the Anzac legend.
Mr Rowe claimed the clubs were more interested in making money from poker machines and cheap alcohol than serving the interests of veterans.
He has called for RSL branches to split from the clubs which no longer serve their original purpose. ''We want nothing to do with the clubs and the poker machines and the drinking,'' he said.
''Our business is a not-for-profit charity looking after the welfare of veterans and ensuring they are properly cared for.''
RSL clubs were originally set up by RSL branches in the 1950s to provide a social hub for World War II veterans.
Since opening their doors to the public in the 1970s, they have turned into big businesses, with some clubs generating millions of dollars a year in revenue from poker machines.
More than $50 million was generated from poker machines at Cabra-Vale Diggers Club in Canley Vale in south-western Sydney in 2011-12, according to its annual report. Machines at Merrylands RSL had a net clearance of more than $23 million in 2011.
Mr Rowe said veterans made up less than 5 per cent of RSL club members and did not benefit from the revenues generated by the 274 RSL clubs in NSW.
''The clubs aren't serving our members,'' he said.
''They are trading off the Anzac traditions and the Anzac legend which we look after.
''The clubs don't contribute to us or the welfare of veterans, that's for sure.''
Despite the gulf between the clubs and the branches, Mr Rowe felt it was unlikely clubs could be forced to drop the RSL name.
He called for people who wanted to support veterans to spend their money on poppies, not poker machines, this Anzac Day.
ClubsNSW chief executive Anthony Ball rejected claims of a rift between RSL clubs and their sub-branches, saying the clubs supported veterans. "RSL clubs have made and continue to make an enormous contribution to our veterans to the tune of millions of dollars each year,'' he said.
Chief executive of Merrylands RSL and chairman of the RSL and Services Clubs Association Bryn Miller said he was ''staggered'' by Mr Rowe's comments and denied that clubs were exploiting the Anzac spirit. ''There are many examples of RSL clubs assisting and helping veterans,'' he said.
He pointed out that Merrylands RSL would hold a dawn service on Thursday morning.

Effects of Frame Design and Cab Suspension on the Ride Quality of Heavy Trucks
Patricio, Paul Stephen
MetadataShow full item record
Frame and cab suspension designs of Class 8 heavy trucks were investigated to see their effects on ride comfort. Four trucks were used in this study, each with a different frame: a factory low frame, a lightweight low frame, a factory high frame, and a lightweight high frame. There were two different frame heights and three thicknesses. Two different rear cab suspensions were also tried out on each truck. Both suspensions used two airsprings and two dampers mounted vertically to control the vertical motion. The first suspension used two horizontally mounted dampers to control the lateral motion, while the second used a panhard rod connected to a torsion spring. In addition, two different sets of airsprings and two sets of vertical shocks were tried with each suspension, giving eight suspension combinations. The trucks were shaken through the forward drive (second) axle using two 5500 lb hydraulic actuators with displacement control. The steering (first) axle was left in contact with the ground (through the tires) and the rear drive (third) axle was strapped to the truck's frame and acted solely as dead weight. The actuators were given various inputs including single frequency sinusoidal signals, step signals, and decreasing amplitude chirp signals. Both roll and heave modes of the truck were excited. The ride was measured using three accelerometers located at the B-post inside the truck cab. These accelerometers were oriented in the vertical, fore/aft (longitudinal), and lateral (left/right) directions. Numerous other accelerometers and LVDTs were used to measure frame and cab motion. This study found that there while the beaming frequency shifted downward with the lighter frames, there was only a small decrease in ride quality. The panhard suspension rod had significantly higher roll motion, but the heave amplitudes were similar to the lateral damper suspension. Switching vertical shocks had a significant effect on heave motion, but none on the cab's roll. Switching the airsprings on the cab suspension in this study had no effect.

Entrepreneur Denise Brosseau led us through two exercise on idea generation.
The first was a bit hectic, as the assignment was not totally clear to everyone. We all knew we were supposed to be talking about existing products, but many of us were coming up with new improvements/add-ons/etc for these already existing things - when we were actually supposed to be discussing other people's recent improvements to various technologies. We learned techniques that worked and several that did not. We were under an extreme time crunch, which force us to keep moving and really focus, but didn't give us any time to flesh out ideas. We also realized, too late, that our group was too large to communicate effectively. These were all the concepts she wanted to get - and we had fun in the process!
Our second exercise was to come up with new ideas for computers in 8 categories, things like globalize, futurize, and expertise. One of the women in my group quickly realized we had 16 people, so we then divided into brainstorming groups of 2. We were able to get a lot more ideas out and could each focus on a specific area without being inadvertently constrained by the other minigroup's thought branches.
This was a lot of fun & gave me a lot of ideas about thinking out of the box.

Aziz Ansari would like to help you navigate the seas of modern romance.
The "Parks and Recreation" star has signed a deal with the Penguin Press to write his first book, the publisher said Thursday.
See video: 'Parks and Rec' Star Aziz Ansari at War With Justin Bieber
The book will explore "an entire new era for singles, in which the basic issues facing a single person- whom we meet, how we meet them, and what happens next – have been radically altered by new technologies," according to Penguin. Ansari will enlist the the help of "noted academics" to explore the issue via interviews and original research, according to the publisher.
So what sort of modern dating dilemmas will Ansari explore?
Also read: Obama to Aziz Ansari: I've Got More Twitter Followers Than You Do
"You know when you text someone you're romantically interested in and you don't hear anything back and then you see them post a photo of a pizza on Instagram? That's exactly what I want this book to deal with," Ansari offered. "These are strange conundrums that no generation has ever faced before and it's a fascinating jumping off point for what I hope will be a very interesting book about modern courtship."
According to Publisher's Weekly, Anzari is raking in a rumored $3.5 million advance for the book. Which should take his mind off of whatever food pictures the object of his affection is posting.
The book is tentatively scheduled for a Sept. 2015 release.

Hello! It's Tuesday again and time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz. This week the theme is Something beginning with the letter T. This was the perfect challenge to use a turtle image by Bugaboo and of course it needed to be accented with some twine. I decided to make my card for a younger guy and use bright summery colors. To create this card I used the sketch from Stella Says Sketch (#311) at the Catch The Bug Challenge. The image was colored with Copic markers and I paper pieced the umbrella to give it a subtle pattern. All patterned papers are by Echo Park from the I Love Sunshine Collection. The sentiment was created on the computer and punched with a 1" circle punch then matted with a 1 1/4" circle punch. That's it!
There are lots of crafty possibilities using the letter T and I can't wait to see what you create. Click here for more inspiration from the design team and we hope you will play along. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
My Beach Turtle Card is entered into the following challenges:
- Incy Wincy: Summer Lovin'
- Digi Galore: Summery/Bright
- Craft for the Craic: Summer Time
