Thayne and Travis, along with Louie and Joey Fountain had started in Moscow, Idaho and pedaled their Bike Car almost 700 miles to Mount Hood. The weather had been treating them pretty well until they arrived on Mount Hood, where they were promptly dusted with a healthy helping of heavy Oregon spring powder. Conditions were great for snowboarding, and poor for pedaling a four-person pedal powered car.
The Bike Car movie crew was stranded at Meadows, where they were–in typical high budget snowboard movie form–crashing out on the kitchen floor of someone's office space. As cabin fever set in, Thayne and Travis decided to escape around the side of the mountain in search of some alternative accommodations. Namely to a geodesic dome that my brother Kyler and I had erected on the top of Tom Dick Peak, just above the top of Mount Hood Ski Bowl.
This dome is actually the same structure that housed Airblaster at the SIA trade show, and the same dome that High Cascade Snowboard Camp set up at Nationals. It is a 12 by 18 foot geodesic dome made by a company called Nomadospheres. It is basically a portable log cabin without the logs. Well, also it's also not at all cabin shaped, but more space…ship…shaped.
Anyway, Thayne and Travis had made their way from the stranded Bike Car over to Government Camp. After a nice calorie filled dinner at Charlie's Mountain View, we headed up to Ski Bowl to shred some night powder under the lights.At the end of the session, we caught last chair up, cruised over to the dome, sparked up our heater, and snuggled into our sleeping bags for a night on top of the mountain. Needless to say we should have bought a bigger heater, but that's what friends are for after all. A little man warmth goes a long way.
In the morning, we were greeted with more fresh snow and some typical Oregon sunshiny fog. We whipped up a gourmet breakfast of coffee and cheddar filled sausage and eggs, and hit the slopes to thrash up some powder snow. All in all, it was a pretty sweet time.

Not half bad. Not half good, either.
Miraculously, every seam of every block came together nicely, so I didn't end up with some sort of wonky, ease-stitched monstrosity, as I had assumed I would. If I were to present this at, say, a quilt guild meeting, there would probably be mass fainting and my membership would be revoked, and I would henceforth be known as The Quilter Who Must Not Be Named — but to the untrained eye, it probably looks pretty fucking brilliant. Hell, I'm impressed, and I know how poorly it was actually put together.
My wonderful readers had lots of great advice for why everything was turning out so funky in my piecing. Unfortunately, I was already doing many of the things they suggested I try (except the freezer paper thing - which I'm going to try on another project). I think that the black fabric I used was pretty crappy and seemed to distort just by breathing on it. Yeah, that's it. It was the fabric. And the humidity. And aliens.
And as for yesterday's announcement, I decided to ping the managing editor over at Quilter's Home yesterday to say, "What's up? Are you printing the stuff I sent you?" And she wrote back to say that she was no longer working at the magazine but that she knew one piece had been accepted and slated for the October issue. Now I've emailed Mark and another editor to say, "What's up? Let's do some business." And of course, I've had no response. Sigh.
Now I need to get back to work on this quilt. I don't know why I abandoned it, and now it seems like a lot more fun than what I've been doing the last few weeks. Let's just hope the humidity lets up. And the aliens.

Thank you! I am a 30-something ex-professional, stay-at-home mom who started quilting after I had my first kid. I love your blog! I sometimes feel like a lone ranger. I am the youngest in my quilt guild, and I feel like I have to constantly temper my attitude/opinions, so I am so glad that your blog exists! Every time I've read it, I have laughed out loud. Keep it up!

I hate to tell you this, but the only way I know of to improve your quiltmaking skills, is to make quilts. Each one better that the last. Besides that you can always quilt the lumps flat (theoretically anyway.)

Ugh... never did like Noto playing male characters ever since FMP. Repeat failure in F/Sn, and no surprises she ain't doing well here as well. At least Kawasumi is making it bearable.
That said, I like this show better than the other show with a shota main character (mamoru-kun something or other). Dunno if that means a lot, though, since there's very little shown so far that would keep me interested.
Oh well, obligatory 3 eps for me.

There are people saying (I actually agree...) that the only way to enjoy this show is to shut off the screen only listening to the voices and sounds and pretend it to be a yuri-love drama.
And Kawasumi x Noto does make it a nice yuri-love combo....

as this show is under the "MFI Production", dont mention any "group names", its a forbidden word unless the show is NOT "MFI Production"
with that said, im glad a "certain group" is willing to do this show regarding how ecchi its going to get. This will be one i will be following.
and thanks Kaoru Chujo for the reference to the wallpaper. looks very ...exotic
edit: thanks for heads up Slice of Life.

Be careful with quotes. Now the powers that be will have to edit two posts ...
Hmmm. The fruit of nonconsensual sex between Rosario to Vampire and Spice and Wolf?
The show surely takes no prisoners on the ecchi front. Every now and then such a show appeals to me but this is none of those. It's on top of my drop list so far, even before the two Gonzo shows. The shotakon element is really a turn-off.

Well, although I am not a big fan of this series... I have to point out that Chizuru is not a Shotakon. She loves Kouta because of his smell...

Just as soon as Kimiaru finishes up we have a nice piece of ecchi to thankfully fill in...And all I can say to that is bring it on.
I'm sure alot of people won't care for the show, but I sure did have fun watching it...The "romance" was abit abrupt, but I think both VA's did an extremely good job of making each others emotions felt by the end(Mamiko ).
I fully dont expect any kind of real plot to develop and aslong as they keep being ballsy about what they show and not wussing out ill be perfectly content to watch 11 more episodes like the first one.

After having finish watching episode 1, I must say this series is doing well for its ecchiness part, it really did things openly where Chizuru is taking the initiatives on Kouta.
I was abit confuse near the end where they talk how that building blew up but it makes sense that the beginning is just a few days/week after the incident and that the ending is just refering to how the incident happen.
This series reminds me of: Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo!. Although that show is about Beatrix powers, this one has the "Wolf and Spice" + Ecchiness-Romance in it which I find pretty amusing.
I'd give this show a go to those of you who likes the ecchi-romance-comedy genre, this episode at the end is what i find abit shocking lol i didnt expect they're going to do "it" it gives me the "omg what are they going to do after Chizuru nails Kouta down"!? idea
|2008-04-05, 21:36
|Link #89
^^^ very agree'd. This show reminds me too much of Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo! As much as i want to watch this until the end and enjoy it, i don't think i can. Unless they come up with something that can interest the audience beyond that of previously said anime.
I found Noto's voice to sometimes work. But all the times Oyamada talk to himself/thinks Noto reverts back to her old anime-voicing style, which i really don't like.
After watching the first episode, there's a few things i gotta point out. I'm not especially bad at watching visual ques, but i didn't realize that was a flashback until i read it here. Just thought they made another hole 2)shouta, hm..... can't say much about that since it's the artist's choice. personally i'd go with someone of equal hieght. 3)Sex on the first episode? awsome props for that 4) to tell the truth chizuru kinda scares me.....
BTW what does the title mean? it sounds like a pun to me, but i dunno where that pun comes from. Can anyone explain?

I skimmed episode 1 and it seems pretty weak. I used to read the manga but I'm kind of losing interest in that.
I didn't like the animation style/quality in the first episode either, I'll probably do the usual first episode drop and stay with the manga.

With this I'm Invincible!
I get massive vibes of Negi Springfield from the little kid. XD It's why I can tolerate the shotacon element here.
And the manga has more action, the art style is too saccharine for my tastes. It's like ****ing porn.

they took out the sister complex, making him instead attracted to the class rep.
they also skipped over the siblings' actual age
holey flashback, batman! only novel and manga readers can sort this out in one go
implied sex on the first episode! me like where this anime is going...is this a trend?

@Asrialys i'm gonna take a wild guess and say that in olden days, ppl use to put bells on (wild) foxes, so the farmers know when foxes were coming or the bell would scare the chicken or w/e. And the bells sounds like a cow bell and thus making the kon sound?? lol vivid imagination ftw!!
@Sin Ansem same here. All i hear is Nodoka (sp?)
Anyway i've never read the manga, but am i correct in saying that the first episode basically covered the first 2 volumes or some rediculous ammount of stuff from the manga? Cuz i felt the anime was kinda fast. Or i guess it could be chizuru coming on too fast, i can't tell

The main girl is a pretty slick talker.. in the beginning scene where she pushes Kouta into her chest, she begins to talk quite clearly.
Well you can see her mouth and it's not moving.. whoops. ^.^ I don't know about you guys.. but I personally cannot speak that clearly with my mouth wide open.

Oh, and those other characters like that sharp-haired guy, big ugly guy, and little girl, as well as the twins never made such early appearances in the manga. For some reason, the anime felt like inserting these characters in the first episode.

BT upset at Ofcom's wholesale leased-line price cap plan
Watchdog hopes it'll drive down costs for telco's rivals
BT is worried about Ofcom's plans to tighten its control of the national telco's wholesale Ethernet services prices outside of London.
The communications watchdog warned today that it had proposed to come down hard on BT charges for products using leased telecoms lines - which provide high-speed links for businesses including BT's rivals who provide superfast broadband and mobile services.
At the same time, Ofcom has also gone soft on BT by promising a "safeguard cap" on low bandwidth Ethernet lines in west, east and central London, because those are the areas where the telecoms giant faces more competition.
Ofcom proposed today that "no prices can rise over the three-year period" for each relevant Ethernet service in those parts of the capital outlined by the watchdog.
BT said in a statement to The Register:
While we note Ofcom's recognition of the costs and declining volumes across Partial Private Circuit products, we have some concerns about the proposals for wholesale Ethernet services pricing outside the London area.
We will engage with Ofcom to make our views clear. We believe regulation should allow a fair return on leased lines products in order to ensure sustainable investment in the future of the UK's telecoms infrastructure.
Ofcom clearly disagrees with BT's concerns. It said:
Ofcom expects the proposed controls will lead to real-terms price reductions for most customers of the £2bn leased lines market, such as businesses, schools, universities and libraries.
Consumer mobile and broadband operators, which use leased lines to transfer data on their networks, would also see savings which could be passed on to customers.
The regulator proposed the following for BT's prices based on retail price index (RPI) inflation:
- For BT's traditional interface services, Ofcom is proposing an overall basket cap of between RPI + 0 per cent and RPI + 6.5 per cent, with a central estimate of RPI + 3.25 per cent.
- For BT's Ethernet services, we are proposing an overall basket cap of between RPI - 8 per cent and RPI - 16 per cent, with a central estimate of RPI - 12 per cent.
Ofcom said that public consultation [PDF] on its proposals would run until 30 August. The regulator will then review the comments, consult with the European Commission and then report its findings in early 2013.
Last month, the comms watchdog confirmed it was planning to put forward proposals to regulate 1Gbps+ wholesale leased lines that exist outside of Blighty's capital.
At the same time, Ofcom made it clear in June that it wouldn't intervene on the touchy subject of BT's so-called dark fibre (unlit/unused optical fibre), which rivals had hoped the national telco would rent out on a wholesale basis.
Brussels commissioner 'Steelie' Neelie Kroes has been lobbying for years to get incumbent telcos in Europe to allow access to "unlit" fibre already laid but not used, so that rival firms can light it themselves.
Just yesterday, the EC stalled the UK's superfast broadband plans amid competition concerns that the bidding process for public funds had turned into a two-horse race between BT and Japanese company Fujitsu, which is investing around £2bn in Britain to gain put its own fibre tentacles into the country. ®

Colonial Animals: One Genetic Individual and Many Bodies
Junior Biology, Geophysical Sciences major at The University of Chicago
REU Mentor: Dr. Scott Lidgard (Associate Curator, Geology)
Symposium Presentation Title: Bizarre biology: morphogenesis of the freshwater bryozoan Plumatella vaihiriae (Phylactolaemata)
Symposium Presentation Abstract: Bryozoans are a diverse phylum of aquatic small colonial invertebrates whose development, phylogenetic relationships, and reproductive biology are understudied and poorly understood compared to most other metazoan taxa. Within the same genetic individual - the colony - structural individuals called zooids are budded asexually. As zooids in some bryozoan groups are highly polymorphic, the study of these animals could shed light on the origin and evolution of polymorphism and functional specialization, the unique life histories of bryozoans, and the factors influencing colony growth and form. Morphogenesis in bryozoans is complex, potentially involving: embryonic development of a larva, catastrophic metamorphosis, iterative budding, and an asexually produced diapausal statoblast that subsequently germinates. Gene expression is a powerful tool for exploring the implications of these broad questions; we aim to construct a cDNA library for a species of phylactolaemate bryozoan, Plumatella vaihiriae, to complement an existing library for a cheilostome bryozoan, Bugula neritina. With B. neritina and then P. vaihiriae, we plan to investigate the expression of regulatory genes in bryozoans, and their role in patterning body plans in individual zooids and heterzooids, and colony morphology. In addition to this molecular work, we intend to collect a series of images and histological sections detailing the morphogenesis, budding, and sexual reproduction of P. vaihiriae as a model phylactolaemate bryozoan. Although the project is still in its initial stages, images of statoblast germination and ancestrula formation have been gathered, and techniques for rearing phylactolaemate bryozoans in the laboratory are being perfected.
Original Project Description: This project will employ collections of Bryozoa, the only wholly colonial phylum of animals, to address a fundamental biological question – how does evolution act to create new body plans? In bryozoans, sexually produced larvae with one body plan are released by a colony, settle, and undergo metamorphosis. From these larvae, asexually budded zooids together comprise the body of a single genetic individual, the colony. In many species, zooids are amazingly different morphologically (polymorphic), even though they are identical genetically. This life cycle and its polymorphism, in turn, can be seen as a laboratory to help discover how different body plans have come into being.
One part of studying this system involves microscopic imaging of zooid life stages—alive in their aqueous environment, using conventional histological techniques, and using scanning electron microscopy. The plan is to compare larval, zooid, and colony development in a few select species, some with and others without polymorphs, representing the phylogenetic breadth of the phylum. Molecular genetic and developmental protocols can now be used to compare gene regulation and patterning in feeding zooids and polymorphic zooids of colonies, as well as in earlier embryonic and larval stages. Principal goals are to relate a modern understanding of development to current bryozoan evolutionary biology and systematics; and to the broad contexts of development and diverse body plans among metazoans. This larger project, in collaboration with evolutionary developmental biologist Chris Lowe at Stanford University, is already underway with work on a highly derived polymorphic species. The summer internship will concentrate on a second, much "simpler" species representing freshwater bryozoans (Phylactolaemata, the most evolutionarily primitive group in the phylum) to begin erecting a evolutionary frame for anatomical and gene expression comparisons of the morphological genesis of genetically identical but morphologically diverse embryonic, larval, metamorphosing, and asexually budding life history stages.
Research methods and techniques: High-resolution digital images and cinematography of live freshwater bryozoan colonies (Phylactolaemata, the most evolutionarily primitive group in the phylum) will be used in the lab to document larval fission and release from the colony, settlement, metamorphosis, and zooid asexual budding. Specimens representing these different life history stages will be prepared, then analyzed using histological and SEM techniques. If time permits, the intern will assist with the use of a filter-based protocol to isolate total RNA from tissue samples of these different life stages. This is the first step in preparation of a cDNA library from which orthologs of regulatory genes can be recognized, and primers for visualization of gene expression can be constructed.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.—The Denver Broncos have signed free agent Marquice Cole to replace injured cornerback Chris Harris Jr. on their roster.
The Broncos placed Harris on IR after he tore his left ACL in Denver's 24-17 win over San Diego last weekend.
Cole was released Dec. 26 by the New England Patriots (13-4), whom the Broncos (14-3) host Sunday in the AFC championship.
A fifth-year pro with 64 games of experience, including two starts, Cole had 10 tackles, one interception and three pass breakups for New England this season.
Harris is the fifth Broncos starter lost for the season, joining Von Miller, Rahim Moore, Kevin Vickerson and Wolfe. A versatile cornerback adept at playing on either side or in the slot, Harris might just prove the toughest of Denver's injured defenders to replace, especially going against Tom Brady, who has a 10-4 career record against Peyton Manning's teams.
Harris took to Twitter after an MRI on Monday revealed a torn ACL that will require surgery and at least six months of recovery and rehab and said, "Blessed to be able to help the team get this Far, and will still do my part in meeting room to help my guys out."
Cole has played for the New York Jets (2009-11) and Patriots (2012-13), totaling 36 tackles, four interceptions, 14 pass breakups, three fumble recoveries and 51 special teams stops in his career.
In eight career playoff games, including six with the Jets, he has five tackles on defense and five on special teams.
Also Tuesday, the Broncos gave up hope of defensive end Derek Wolfe returning to the field in the playoffs after suffering seizure-like symptoms on Nov. 29. He had practiced just twice since then, on Dec. 25 and 27.
Wolfe also was placed on IR and the Broncos replaced him by promoting offensive tackle Vinston Painter, their sixth-round draft pick from Virginia Tech who spent the entire season on Denver's practice squad.

The new owners of Tribune Co. are betting that television is the key to its future.
With 23 local TV stations in 19 cities, including KTLA-TV Channel 5 in Los Angeles, and a national cable network, Tribune has an array of potentially strong properties that will be the foundation of the newly constituted company.
Its television station group has been valued at close to $3 billion. In 2011, Tribune's broadcasting operations had revenue of $1.1 billion.
"Those stations are great properties in wonderful markets," said Alan Bell, a veteran broadcast industry executive. "There is a real opportunity there if sharp management steps in and really pulls up their socks."


text: Put the Kids on Payroll January 25, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet Having children under 18 work on the family farm will save you in income taxes and in taxes on wages paid. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email Employ your children on the farm to save on taxes Here's a win-win for you: Hire your children to work on the farm. You can save on taxes while helping your children financially prepare for the future. By employing your children, you are taking money out of a parent's tax bracket and putting it into a child's lower or zero percent tax bracket, says Stephen Fiala of Fiala CPA in Mesa, Ariz. "This can provide significant tax savings." The savings come in two forms, says Larry Kopsa, a partner with Kopsa Otte in York, Neb. The first savings are in income tax. Children under age 18 can earn up to $6,100 annually tax-free. The second savings is for the parents, who don't have to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on wages paid to children under the age of 18. For example, if parents pay their child $6,100 and are in the 15% tax bracket, they will save $1,848 in federal income and payroll taxes, Fiala says. Kopsa notes that if the farm is established as a corporation, it cannot be considered a parent, even if the parent owns 100% of the corporation. In this case, the corporation can still benefit from low income tax rates for the child, similar to parents hiring children older than 18, but the wages would be subject to Social Security and Medicare withholdings. In order to deduct wages paid to a child as a business expense, the work must be legitimate and the salary reasonable. What makes a wage "reasonable" is open to interpretation, so Fiala suggests seeing what other, similar jobs are paying. Additionally, the work and salary must be documented. "The more you pay a child, the more documentation we need," Kopsa says. "If you are going to pay a kid $500, it's not a big deal. If you pay the child $5,000 or $10,000, you need documentation." Also, be sure to match the responsibility to the age of the child. Kopsa suggests using a calendar or time sheet to record hours and wages. In this same document, you can include when you pay your child, which should be done in a businesslike manner. "There is a tendency to wait until the end of the year and then cut a big check to the child. Those year-end payments could be scrutinized." Saving for the future. By employing your children, you can teach them valuable lessons about spending and saving, Fiala says. He suggests having your children place some of their earnings in a retirement account, such as a Roth IRA. "That money will grow tax-free throughout their life, and then can be taken out tax-free." Kopsa agrees. He says that children can make a great amount of money by contributing the maximum amount to a retirement account, just putting it in there and letting it cook. Checklist for Hiring Your Children To make sure the employment arrangement between you and your child is suitable with the Internal Revenue Service, Larry Kopsa, a partner with Kopsa Otte, provides these guidelines: Document the hours worked and payment rate for your child. This can be a simple time sheet or calendar. Just know that the more you pay your child, the more documentation is needed. Have a separate checking or savings account for your child, so the money goes into a separate account. Issue a W-2 tax form to your child at the end of the year, as this is an official employment situation. Pay your child throughout the year. While a lump payment on Dec. 31 is legal, it can look suspicious. Back to news

I was on the torch one day last week and as I listened to Christmas music, singing to myself, I thought to would be fun to randomly sing a Christmas Carol in the comment sections of my favorite blogs. I was going to do a whole blog post about it and turn it into one of those chain games where everyone links to a bunch of people in their blog post about it. Alas, I never got around to it, but I still think it would be fun. AND, I realized I better write about it and claim the idea as mine, mine, mine before someone else thinks of it!!
Okay, since I couldn't pull off the next best internet blog tagging game, the least I could do is a quickie tutorial for you. A week or so ago, my friend Lindsey asked for some help on jewelry gifts for her Step Mom and Mother In Law. This is the project we came up with.
It is pretty easy to make and if you have the materials, shouldn't take more then an hour or so to do.
The Grandma Bracelet
1/2in wide 20g sterling silver flat wire cut to 1 1/2in strips
20g sterling silver round wire
3in of sterling silver rolo chain
Toggle clasp
Alphabet stamps
Round nose pliers
Chain nose pliers
Nylon mallet
Metal hole punch
Liver of Sulfur
Polishing cloth
Step 1: Start by filing the sharp edges of the sterling strips where you'll be stamping names. In our example, we have a name tag for each sibling in the family and it is their children that are on the tags. (Ex: 1 tag for Lindsey's kids, 1 tag for her brother's children, 1 tag for her step brother's little ones.)
Step 2: Organize the letters you'll need to stamp names on the tags. I like to have all the letters I need right in front of me. Work from the center out, with the metal strip on your bench block. For the example shown, we stamped the "G" in Logan first. Then work your way out. Have fun and wiggle they letters, it'll drive you crazy trying to make them line up perfect. (DON'T use your good wire working hammers for this!! Grab your hubby's junky house hammer!!)
Step 3: As you are stamping the letters, give the letters a few good whacks for a clean impression, but not too hard or you'll have an extra outline from the outer edge of the stamp. The metal will start to curl as you go, don't worry about it! When you have all the letters of the names stamped, use your nylon mallet to flatten the metal back out.
Step 4: Using a metal punch, add 4 holes (one in each corner) to the center tag. On the two outside tags, put a hole in each corner on the side that will line up with the center tag, and put ONE hole in the center of the outside edge. I wrapped the tags against the handle of my hammer to get a slight arch to the links. That makes the links hug your wrist just so.
Step 5: Using round nose pliers and 4inch pieces of 20g sterling silver wire, make wire wrapped loops to link the tags together. It gets a little tricky linking the third and forth holes together, but go slow, you'll get it. I really like the chunky look of over lapping the wraps too. But you could put a bead in between or a little crystal... mix it up.
Step 6: Time to attach the clasp! I attached a toggle loop on one side with a wrapped loop. And the other side, I use a length of chain and the bar side of toggle. Adjust the length of chain to adjust the finished length you need on the bracelet.
Step 7: To finish things up, oxidize the bracelet with liver of sulfur and tumble for an hour, polish to highlight the stamping.
There ya go! You'll have to forgive any typos or weird phrasing, lol... I just threw this one together. Have fun with it.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All The Way...
OOOHHHHH, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, HAY!
Jingle Bells, Jingles Bells, Jingle All The Way!

Bruce Arians wants to be a head coach in the National Football League.
The 60-year-old has been an assistant his entire NFL coaching career, with his most recent stops being as offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Arians replaced former Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt as the play caller in Pittsburgh, and filled in for Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano as he was dealing with leukemia.
It's the latter experience that has most directly led to Arians being a top candidate, and he said in a press conference following an interview with the Cardinals Thursday that he believes guiding the Colts to a 9-3 mark this past season not only proved to the rest of the league that he can run a team, but also proved to himself that he could do it.
"It's not as hard as it's supposed to be," Arians said of what he learned.
In truth, Arians said he learned how to delegate — which was tough for him — as well as that there is enough time for someone to not only be the head coach, but offensive play caller as well.
So, if he is hired by the Cardinals, expect Arians to call the shots offensively.
"I will have an offensive coordinator but I will call the plays," Arians said. "Until I can find someone who's going to do it better than me.
"I haven't found him yet."
The idea of the head coach calling the plays too may not sound great to some, but Arians wouldn't be the first to do it. In fact, former Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt did it when he first arrived, only ceding the role to Todd Haley late in his first year with the team.
And ultimately, it's Arians' offensive prowess that has the Cardinals interested in his services.
In truth, Arians has learned quite a bit from each of his stops in the NFL. Having coached quarterbacks like Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Andrew Luck, it's apparent he has a knack for handling the position.
That is important for the Cardinals, especially since most believe the team's issues there are directly responsible for the team's struggles.
Arians said the solution will be found via a variety of different avenues, and that if he gets the job he'll look at ways to improve things over the next few months.
Right now it would appear Arians would only need to fix one side of the ball. Because as bad as the Cardinals were on offense, they were just as good on defense.
Led by Ray Horton, who was the defensive coordinator and is now a candidate for the top job, Arizona ranked 12th in the NFL in total defense and third in the NFC for takeaways. In short, little has to change there, though there were reports Wednesday that an Arians hire would lead to a Horton departure.
"I really couldn't comment on staff," Arians said, adding it's too early in the process to make decisions like that. "I know Ray, I've got history with Ray, but all those things would be way down the road."
Indeed they would be, and at the moment Arians is just one of many candidates who the Cardinals are considering. Arizona's opening is the only one left, meaning anyone who does not get the job will end up returning to their current roles.
That's something Arians said wouldn't necessarily be so bad. Because while he has a desire to become a head coach, he said it's important he find a place that's a good fit.
"I have a pretty good job sitting back in Indianapolis, it's not a full-court press for me," he said. "Do I want to be a head coach? Definitely. But just to be one? No."

Weddings are a time to get dolled up. Though some gentlemen may be tempted to wear the suit they wear to work, a formal event necessitates something a bit more remarkable. When the weather is warm, some men may scoff at the idea of wearing a full suit or even a tuxedo. But just because a person is wearing pants and a jacket doesn't mean the suit must be dark and heavy.
Although dark colors are traditional for weddings, dark, heavy fabrics will absorb the sun's rays, making the groom and his groomsmen uncomfortable. Even when a warm-weather wedding takes place largely indoors where it is climate controlled, many couples choose to have the ceremony outdoors, where they pose for photographs as well. The groom and his groomsmen will want to be comfortable during these times, and the right suit and fabric can make all the difference.
Linen and cotton are all-natural fabrics that are made from plant fibers. They are much lighter weight than wool, and linen and cotton suits may be more comfortable. But linen and cotton are highly prone to wrinkling, and a wrinkled suit will not present well in a formal setting. Cotton and linen may be best reserved for informal weddings or those that will be taking place outdoors or beachside. Seersucker suits are made from cotton in a unique weaving pattern that lets air ventilate through the material. Seersucker suits may be most popular in the southeastern United States, but they can be worn anywhere the weather is warm. Many of these suits are manufactured in a gray, blue and brown striped pattern. Again, due to the lightweight fabric, you will feel cool. For less formal weddings, a seersucker suit may fit.
A khaki suit or a tan one may work better if the wedding is more formal. Ensure the accessories are in place to make this look work. The suit should fit well and be tailored appropriately. Sharp creases in the pants and a crisp shirt and tie can complete the look. If the groomsmen are in coordinating suits, a tan or khaki color will not look out of place. If a full suit still feels too stiff, a nice blazer paired with a complementary colored trouser may be appropriate for a less formal affair.
Some grooms want to err on the side of caution and stick with a classic suit or tuxedo. In such instances, grooms may want to investigate lighter weight wools. Such suits won't be as confining as a heavier suit. Grooms wearing a tuxedo may want to choose a white tuxedo. A white tuxedo will look pristine and fit with a formal theme. And the white will reflect the sun and be cooler without looking casual.
A groom who does not mind a midday wardrobe change can opt to wear a standard suit or tuxedo and plan to change later on for the reception. He can coordinate with his new bride and step into something more comfortable for dancing and enjoying the ensuing party. This allows for formality when the moments call for it and comfort later on in the day.
Dressing for a warm weather wedding may require a bit of ingenuity on the part of the groom. There are different fabrics and styles of suit available to present plenty of wardrobe options.
Lightweight wool may be a more comfortable option for grooms and their groomsmen at warm-weather weddings.

Many of you may have noticed how popular YouTube has become. There is a ton of content on it allowing just about anyone the ability to put up video clips on just about any topic. A quick search on the word history brought up hundreds of video clips. Many had nothing to do with historical topics but most did.
I only watched a few videos. The quality was good in two cases and poor in another. I noted there were many History Channel clips here (copyright cleared?) as well. I liked this video which shows the history of the Six-Day War from 1967. I am going to go ahead and throw it up as an example of the new ways many are accessing history. Mind you, there is no real peer review on YouTube. I imagine there is a lot of junk and propaganda at online at this site.

I'm curious, after you watched this video, does it appear to be accurate?
- M said...
As accurate as anything else from the History Channel I guess. This is actually an episode of the History Channel series Battlefield Detectives. It has a slight pro-Israeli slant but does include the Arab view.
I wonder how the History Channel feels about this episode being available at YouTube?

Where are the Girls?
YGGG #2 has been freezing garden produce Go-Hubby tended to all summer. It seems never ending and now she is about out of freezer space. But, it will taste good this winter. Just think of the pots of soup and chili with those frozen tomatoes and home--made salsa for the tacos. I think she should share some with me since I'm tending to our blog.
She is also still fighting the computers with various types of malfunctions. After months of her printer speaking to her in a foreign language, she finally figured out how to make it return to English. It was so foreign that she didn't have a clue about what things meant. So far she hasn't put her main computer in the dumpster or in the middle of the street or even on the sidewalk with a sign, "Take me!" I think she's getting close to that point though. Last week her mother-in-law blessed her with a couple of large albums from a genealogy aunt, all needing to be scanned. What a nice gift, especially with malfunctioning equipment and a garden that needs to be picked.
As I am preparing to go on a research trip before too long, I decided it was time to bid adieu to my old, red wheely computer bag. It has been on many trips in the US and overseas, thrown into the overhead bins of airplanes, crammed into the trunk of the car or smashed between boxes in the back seat of the car as the YGGGs head out for Salt Lake City. It has traveled around airports, up and down stairs, escalators and elevators, never complaining, but wearing out. The wheels are down to nothing and there is a hole appearing in the bottom of it. Even though wheely bag is a good friend, I am retiring it for a while to the closet and maybe eventually to the dumpster.
Today I purchased a new wheely bag. It has bigger wheels and lots of compartments. Now I am faced with the problem of knowing exactly where to put things in it. I'll be flying so need to have it light enough to lift into the overhead bins. It's black. Red wheely bag was easy to spot among all the others that are usually black. I hope that my new wheely bag doesn't elude me ... ancestors are enough.
Fall is that great time of year that the kids go back to school and life is supposed to slow down. The other day I realized that Lil' Red has taken on a new name ... Grandma's Taxi. I thought those days were over when my own children learned to drive and obtained wheels (many years ago). The rewards for this service are the smiles, hugs and togetherness I experience with my granddaughter and her friends. But sometimes I need a perk or two along the way.
Do you need a perk? How about a genealogy perk? I have been enjoying the courses at the FamilySearch Learning Center. The best part is that I don't have to be at school at a certain time, don't need to drive Lil' Red somewhere ... just allocate some time at the computer to study and learn. The courses range from one hour to 12 minutes. Even those of us who think we know everything can learn something.
Grandma's Taxi is parked in the garage today. My only garden is my basil plant which is about at the end of its 2011 summer life. I have nothing to freeze or can, so it's either learning online or learning how to pack my new wheely bag ... or both.

What brand & model is your new wheely bag?ReplyDelete
Just put the last few tomatoes in the freezer today, have a few red bell peppers yet to do, some onions to dehydrate. then some butternut squash to pick and can. Another garden year is coming to a close....thank goodness.
I want to watch a few of those Family Search learning videos too, there's always something to learn.
It's a Targus Rolling Travel Laptop Case, 17 inches. I think I'll like it, even though it's about an inch bigger all the way around than the one I had.ReplyDelete
I stencilled (sp) my initials on my bag(s) on all 6 sides in easy-to-see letters. Use a very bright paint and touch up between trips. It was invaluable when the airline lost my luggage; the lost baggage people were thrilled with me having such obvious identification.ReplyDelete

text: Conquest of Elysium 3 is an old school fantasy strategy game. You explore your surroundings conquer locations that provides the resources you need. Resources needed vary much depending on what character you are, e.g. the high priestess need places where she can gather human sacrifices, the baron needs places where tax can be collected and where iron can be mined. These resources can then be used for magic rituals and troop recruitments. The main differentiator for this game is the amount of features and special abilities that can be used. The game can be played on Windows, Linux (x86 and raspberry pi) and Mac OSX (intel and powerpc).

Residents, officials survey damage in wake of Wednesday night storms
National Weather Service crews may be headed to several communities in Illinois and Indiana to survey damage. Several reports of funnel clouds are yet to be determined whether it was a tornado or high winds that inflicted damage.
Kankakee County had three reports of tornadoes. Winfield and Lakes of the Four Seasons in Indiana are wondering too.
Richard Castro, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Romeoville, Ill., said "We are aware of pretty substantial wind damage that occurred in Winfield, Lakes of the Four Seasons and the Crown Point area." Castro said "Based on the damage, it looks like those winds could have been over 70 miles per hour."
The frame of building under construction in Merrillville visible from Interstate 65 on the west side of the interstate south of U.S. 30 was also destroyed.
Other communities reported downed trees, but the storm appears to have largely spared other areas of the damage seen in LOFS, Winfield and Crown Point.
The Indiana Department of Transportation said fallen trees and limbs caused downed power lines on Ind. 2 that forced the closure of the roadway from Interstate 65 to U.S. 231.
As of 8 a.m., NIPSCO reported 7,719 customers remained without power in the utility's northern Indiana service area, with the bulk of the impacted customers -- 2,862 -- being in Crown Point.
At the peak of the storm, more than 44,000 customers were without power.

I'm not into the "corrections" thing, but when the same post contains two errors, it's time to come clean. Yesterday, in commenting on a fine article about the Israeli elections by Meyrav Wurmser, I suggested that, with the hit the Labor party took, Israel may no longer have a two-party political system. Of course, Israel never has had a two party system. I meant to say, as Wurmser did, that Likud's victory "changed the political map from a system dominated by two large parties to a system in which only one party — Likud — monopolizes Israeli politics."
To make things worse, I went on to attribute to Rocket Man the correct prediction that Sharon would be substantially helped by the fact that the Supreme Court pulled the plug on the Prime Minister's television appearance in which he tried to address charges of corruption. Had I checked the record instead of relying on an increasingly faulty memory, I would have found that the prediction came from a reader, "Dafydd ab Hugh," who, at the time, referred to this event as the "Paul Wellstone Memorial of the Israeli elections."

Corn and soybean producers will have some new and a few updated products for weed control in 2008. Corn seems to be the major beneficiary of the new herbicides, which isn't surprising given the continued increase in corn plantings. These new products either enhance glyphosate's effectiveness or provide a different mode of action.
Postemergent corn herbicide
Bayer CropScience offers a new post-emergent corn herbicide. Laudis uses an HPPD (hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase) mode of action to control a wide range of grass and broadleaf weeds.
"In the majority of acres where Laudis will be used, probably 70 to 80%, the product is going to be in a tankmix with Roundup or glyphosate to control resistant and segregating weeds," says Jeff Springsteen, Bayer CropScience product manager for Laudis. "One pint of Roundup with 3 oz. of Laudis will be a dynamite combination."
Laudis also can be tank mixed with Liberty. "These two chemistries have never shown weed resistance anywhere in the world," Springsteen says. "We'll be positioning 2 oz. of Laudis with 32 oz. of Liberty. Growers will get outstanding contact and residual weed control."
Triple play
A new portfolio of products, called Technology for Traits, from Dow AgroSciences will bring three products for herbicide-tolerant corn and soybean production systems, specifically Roundup Ready corn and soybeans.
"We are seeing major shifts in agricultural production," says Damon Palmer, product manager for Dow AgroSciences. "With more than 90% of U.S. soybeans now being planted with the Roundup Ready trait, and corn quickly heading that way, we're developing a system that provides new weed-control tools in herbicide-tolerant crops."
Palmer says the Technology for Traits platform helps with stewardship of the glyphosate molecule by offering another weed-control option. In addition, the platform uses residual products to help maximize yields.
SureStart is a soil-applied herbicide for use in Roundup Ready corn. It provides broad-spectrum control for early emerging grasses and both small- and large-seeded broadleaf weeds for up to six weeks. It can be applied from preplant up to 11-in.-tall corn. "University research has shown that these weeds compete for moisture, sunlight and nutrients, which reduce the yield potential of corn," Palmer says. "It is designed to complement glyphosate in a Roundup Ready system."
Sonic herbicide uses two modes of action to deliver broad-spectrum broadleaf weed control in Roundup Ready soybeans.
Durango DMA herbicide contains a third-generation glyphosate salt that delivers broad-spectrum control of more than 100 broadleaf weeds and grasses. "It is tankmix-compatible with fungicides, insecticides and herbicides, particularly with phenoxy herbicides like 2,4-D," says Dave Ruen product technology specialist with Dow AgroSciences.
Wider window
Designed specifically for glyphosate-tolerant (Agrisure GT and Roundup Ready) corn hybrids, Halex GT from Syngenta is a postemergence herbicide that offers glyphosate with residual control. According to the company, this combination delivers control of weeds present at emergence and residual activity to manage multiple weed flushes, eliminating the need for additional herbicide applications.
"Halex GT offers producers a wider application window and greater flexibility," says Carroll Moseley, herbicide brand manager for Syngenta. "It delivers a more convenient, agronomic and higher-yielding alternative to any glyphosate-only, postemergence program used today."
Containing three active ingredients — mesotrione (the active ingredient in Callisto), S-metolachlor (the active ingredient in Dual Magnum) and glyphosate (the active ingredient in Touchdown HiTech) — in one easy-to-use product gives growers the "best opportunity for one-pass, postemergence weed control in glyphosate-tolerant corn," Moseley says. "We recognize that a significant segment of the market is moving to post-emergence weed control in glyphosate-tolerant corn, and Halex GT is a perfect fit for these systems."
Rates vary from 3.6 to 4.0 pints/acre, and the optimum application timing is early postemergence before weeds reach 4 in. in height.
Products for corn and soybeans
To address changing weed-control needs in glyphosate-tolerant corn and soybeans, DuPont is launching several new products for which EPA registration is pending.
According to the company, its two new postemergence corn herbicides with built-in safener technology will provide greater crop tolerance while providing better, more consistent grass and broadleaf weed control under more weather conditions and with a choice of adjuvants. The company says its two new preemergence soybean herbicides will offer contact plus residual control of annual weeds even under cool, wet conditions, allowing post application closer to crop canopy.
"Using a residual herbicide as part of a glyphosate-tolerant program is key to effective crop management," says Wayne Schumacher, DuPont corn and soybean product launch manager. "DuPont Crop Protection has corn and soybean herbicides that fit all grower programs, whether conventional or no-till, and excel at preplant, preemergence, post-emergence and post harvest grass and broadleaf weed control."
More power
Monsanto says its Roundup PowerMax is a new Roundup herbicide formulation that performs more consistently from weed to weed and field to field. It replaces Roundup Original Max. More than 1,000 growers and retailers previewed PowerMax during the 2007 growing season on more than 300,000 acres.
"Roundup PowerMax delivers outstanding consistency of weed control and crop safety," says Chad Bush, Roundup marketing manager. "It sets a new standard in Roundup performance with more powerful weed control than Roundup Original Max."
New label
Amvac Chemical has added five grass and broadleaf weeds to its Impact post-emergence corn herbicide label: green foxtail, dandelion, Powell amaranth, marestail and hairy galinsoga. Shattercane suppression has been added to the label.
In addition, rotational cropping flexibility has been increased in Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska. Under the new label, the rotation interval for soybeans is nine months throughout the three states when Impact is applied at 0.75 oz./acre. In the past, the northern portions of the three states had a nine-month soybean rotation interval at 0.5 oz./acre.
New adjuvant
Precision Laboratories is marketing Simplyx, a nonionic activator adjuvant specifically formulated to enhance the performance of glyphosate and its tankmix partners. According to James Reiss, vice president of agricultural business at Precision Laboratories, Simplyx maximizes the performance of both glyphosate and oil-soluble tankmix partners such as Select and FirstRate.
New use
EPA approval is expected for the 2008 growing season for Select Max herbicide's use as a control of Roundup Ready corn stands during replanting situations. According to Mark Kitt, spokesman for Valent, Select Max provides fast, flexible and consistent control of Roundup Ready corn hybrids.
"When a producer is in a replant situation in a Roundup Ready corn stand, Select Max at 6 oz. to the acre provides fast, effective control," he says. "A producer can then be back in the field to replant in six days."

Pan-Fried Kingfish Recipe
If you look back at the seafood recipes I've posted, you'll see that I love deep-fried fish. Whenever fresh pieces are available at the market, I don't hesitate to cook one to golden perfection, and today I found a beautiful yellowtail kingfish. I marinated it with a lot of fresh garlic, ground fennel, soy sauce, parsley and lemon juice, then transferred it into a combination of garlic powder and flour. The whole fish was pan-fried until crispy golden and placed on quenelles of smoky, spiced eggplant mash.
I accompanied the kingfish with sautéed angel hair pasta. Making this dish is effortless and doesn't require a lot of time. Enjoy the bounty of seafood that's available at your local market!
Yields: 6 servings2 pounds yellowtail king fish
4 cloves fresh garlic, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon red chili powder
⅓ cup rice flour
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lemon, zested and freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground fennel, toasted and freshly ground
¼ cup falt-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons Bluegrass soy sauce (see tips)
¼ teaspoon white pepper, freshly cracked
1½ cups smoky, spiced eggplant mash
Ask your fishmonger to prep the fish, leaving the fish whole but removing the head. Wash and pat dry using paper towels. Place the fish in a long, shallow dish. Season with salt, red chili powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, ground fennel, 1 tablespoon parsley, white pepper and 1 clove of crushed garlic. Make sure the spices coat the fish. Spread the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of oil evenly in the dish. Marinate the fish for no more than 20-30 minutes.
Pat dry the fish one more time, removing as much moisture as possible. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, rice flour and 1 pinch chili powder. Using a fine mesh strainer, sprinkle some flour over the fish and shake off the excess flour.
In a wok, heat the oil and fry the garlic cloves until golden. Remove the fried garlic chunks and set aside. Once the oil has a nice garlic flavor, gently shake the excess flour off the fish one more time and place the fish in the oil. Jiggle the pan to make sure the fish does not stick to the bottom of the pan and is totally coated with oil. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Season with more salt and flip the fish; pan-fry the other side for another 3 minutes until crispy, lightly browned. Jiggle the pan again. Transfer to a place lined with paper towels.
To check the "doneness", gently press the fish with your finger; it should feel springy in texture. The color of the meat should be white and opaque. If it's still clear to translucent, return to the wok.
When you're ready to serve, place 4 "quenelles" of eggplant mash in the center of a serving dish: using 2 tablespoons, gather one portion of the spicy eggplant mixture in one spoon. Scrape the loose mixture from the sides using the other spoon. Repeat between the 2 spoons until the mound is tightly packed. Slide the mound onto the dish and top with the pan-fried fish. Garnish with the reserved fried garlic and parsley.
Serve immediately.
Bon appétit!
You can find rice flour in any Asian market.
I used Bourbon Barrel brand aged bluegrass soy sauce.
Dredging the kingfish in rice flour keeps the moisture in and makes a golden outer crust. Once you add the flour, pan-sear the fish immediately for optimum crispiness.Published By: on January 24, 2013.

Coltrane's A Love Supreme: Live in Amsterdam reissue from the Branford Marsalis Quartet out now and available on vinyl for the very first time Read more »
"The next new thing in jazz is hidden in the old thing."
Date: 03.18.2009
Publication: Seattle Times
Author: Andrew Gilbert
Branford Marsalis is one of the biggest names in jazz, a midcareer master who's maintained an enviable level of visibility for nearly three decades.
But the sardonic tenor and soprano saxophonist isn't much impressed by personal accolades. As a musician, he's devoted to a group concept that puts a premium on free-flowing interaction, a powerfully kinetic sound marked by breakneck tempo shifts and odd meters. It's the kind of approach that can only be developed through long hours on the bandstand — and his band has clearly put in the time.
Marsalis' quartet opens a four-night run at Jazz Alley on Thursday.
"The American ethos praises the individual," says Marsalis, 47, from his home in Durham, N.C. "In music it translates into an obsession with being a genius, inventing a style, all those things. I've always been blessed with the marvelous gift of not being too ambitious. The hard part is to get everyone to embrace the idea that the music's not about them. We're just a bunch of conduits."
Rather than self-consciously striving to break new ground, Marsalis concentrates on creating room for his band to thrive. Featuring the prodigious pianist Joey Calderazzo and supple bassist Eric Revis, the quartet marks its 10-year milestone with the release of "Metamorphosen" (Marsalis Music), a thrilling CD that came out earlier this week, with tunes contributed by every member.
The group's protean drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts isn't participating on this West Coast tour, but Marsalis is taking the opportunity to present a remarkable drum prodigy Justin Faulkner. He first heard the 17-year-old Faulkner last year while conducting a tutorial with a high-school jazz band in Philadelphia, which he did at the request of his cousin Rodney Mack, the principal trumpeter with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.
"For the most part I don't like listening to these high-school kids," Marsalis says. "I tell them, you're never going to get it if you don't listen to more music, and they get mad at me. It's the same old stuff. I could be golfing instead."
Faulkner, however, stood out. "He's just keeping time," Marsalis recalls. "But he's swinging like crazy. … He's comping with all the little hits underneath the solos, that nuance that's nonexistent today. Usually when one kid's way better there's a level of impatience, but I'm looking at his face, and he was focusing on making the music swing, no attitude at all."
In many ways, Marsalis has stepped into the shoes of the veteran players who showed him the way as a young musician. He picked up enduring values about the importance of musicianship from artists hailed as revolutionary innovators, but rather than seeking individual glory, they worked within the context of ensembles with like-minded collaborators.
"I had the benefit of those old guys being alive, Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, Walter Davis Jr., Walter Bishop," Marsalis says. "It would have been a lot easier to just dismiss them. They're from an older generation, and I'm playing the new thing. Everything old is passé, and we're always looking for the next new thing.
"The next new thing in jazz is hidden in the old thing."
