As we've seen at Florida and other schools, being a five-star recruit does not always translate to a five-star career in college.
When it comes to rating college football prospects, Florida coach Will Muschamp says he does not pay any attention to the number of stars by a recruit's name. But many others do. And the reality is, the Gators have hit five-star gold over the years, signing 28 five-star prospects dating back to 2002.
But, as we've seen at Florida and other schools, being a five-star recruit coming out of high school does not always translate to a five-star career in college.
The Gators have had lots of success with five-star guys, including Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin, Carlos Dunlap, Sharrif Floyd and many others (including some on the current team).
But Florida has also had some five-star busts.
Here are five five-stars that didn't pan out at Florida:
Carl Moore, wide receiver
Based on his junior college tape, many were predicting instant stardom for Moore at Florida. Big. Fast. Athletic. Great hands. Great deep threat. At least that's what he seemed to be on tape. But it turns out the tape was deceiving. When he got to Gainesville, the coaches quickly discovered he was not quite the prospect they thought he was. Good size and hands, but Moore lacked top-end speed and never became the downfield threat the Gators thought he was going to be. He turned into a little-used possession receiver (which is shocking when you look at his JC tape).
Matt Patchan, offensive tackle
This five-star prospect and Miami legacy stunned many when he signed with UF over UM. With his size, athleticism and mean streak, Patchan was considered a can't-miss prospect, a guy who would line up at left tackle for the Gators for the next four seasons. But his UF career was wrecked by injuries. After playing in only a handful of games in four years, Patchan transferred to Boston College, where he reunited with coach Steve Addazio.
Torrey Davis, defensive tackle
His claim to fame is making two tackles on the goal-line in the Gators' national championship game victory over Oklahoma. Other than that, the big guy with the big potential did absolutely nothing in his brief two-year stay in Gainesville. His problems off the field and in the classroom led him to leave following his sophomore season.
Gary Brown, defensive tackle
This must-have defensive tackle prospect produced even less, and was around even shorter, than Davis. He went astray at a party one night, striking two girls, which led to his arrest for battery. Urban Meyer booted him off the team less than a week later.
Will Hill, safety
This five-star standout was expected to be a human highlight reel at UF. He ended up producing only one real highlight in an otherwise disappointing career — his interception and return against Georgia in overtime in the Gators' victory in 2010. Despite starting for only one season at UF (and really not doing much of anything), Hill stunned everyone when he decided to leave early for the NFL. His raunchy and tasteless posts on Twitter while he was here are another story and only add to his status as a bust.

Decorating with...Sunshine!
A San Francisco-area home is drenched with the sunny side of mother nature
No matter how outrageous the design request--feather-trimmed draperies, a painted orange ceiling with specks of gold leaf, or dining chairs upholstered in patchwork leather--custom homeowner preferences are plenty attainable.
But there is one highly coveted decorative element that has a mind of its own--and no invoice to guarantee its intensity. That element is sunlight, and in Nicole and Andrew Sheehan's home, with the way the beautiful rays elegantly stream through every room, one might think that the homeowners paid an upcharge to achieve such warm luminosity.
This former East Coast family bought their Ross, California, house in 2002, with the understanding that they would renovate extensively after living on the property for a while to see how they wanted to incorporate the light and the views of surrounding mountains. Two years later, not only did their house plans grow, but their family did, too. Nicole and Andrew each had a son from previous marriages, and with the addition of two more children, they decided to tear down their existing house and work with an architect to build a new one.
"We had specific ideas before we ever met with the architect," says Nicole. "The house needed to have an optimal floor plan for our growing family, and be able to accommodate our entertaining needs."
The couple hired architect Greg Johnson, who configured the house with functional rooms that wasted no space and included loads of windows that beckoned in sunlight. His completed structure offered an ideal canvas on which designers Samantha Lyman and Myra Hoefer could work their decorative magic.
In the living room, a Persian Sultanabad rug directed the palette that includes neutral walls and draperies, and furniture in pale apple green and hot pink. The chevron motif in the fireplace echoes the pattern laid on the bleached-wood floor that unifies the rooms throughout the house. "We wanted the floor to be an element that had a clear, well-thought-out design," explains Lyman. In striving for a fresher look, she explains, they selected a bleached color that was forgiving to heavy traffic by children, as well as to the never-ending dog hair of Jack, the Sheehans' golden retriever. "That was a first for me," Lyman laughs. "Finish the floor to match the pet. Apparently the tail does wag the dog!"
The dining room revels in a luminous glow made especially striking by geometric tension between the chevron-patterned floor and the boxed-beam ceiling. The edgy pairing is softened by dining chairs that are covered in champagne-colored silk velvet and an airy crystal chandelier that suits the Sheehans' traditional taste.
Another update to a design classic happened in the library, a space where Andrew could work and guests could spill into when the living room was full during parties. To accomplish a look that was relaxing and furnished like a living room but read like a library, a decorative artist painted the walls to resemble wood. The pattern is a handsome and modern interpretation of the often daunting traditional libraries, with their heavy wood and dark, tired colors.
The open kitchen and family room is where the Sheehans spend most of their time, using the room's coffee table for board games and Lego construction, and the adjoining central hallway as a makeshift runway for the 4-year-old's cars. But even with decoration that is comfortable for the family's lively activities, the room works for entertaining, too, with a green-and-white scheme that radiates elegant sophistication. The sofa, upholstered in an oversized batik-style damask motif, is complemented by coordinating striped armchairs and draperies made of floral linen. In the kitchen, the designer opted for simple white for its clean and light qualities.
Lyman and Hoefer adhered to the light and airy aesthetic for the second-floor design. Relaxation and serenity prevail in the master bedroom, outfitted with graceful accoutrements in warm white and taupe. The muted bed ensemble is regal in style, with a canopy made of solid ivory linen lined with toile, and a gold chandelier that hangs from the vaulted ceiling.
With its youthful and fresh coloring, and nod to classic shapes, the Sheehans' home is ideal for the various needs of their family. "We have so much going on," Nicole explains. "Boys and girls, younger children and teens, and passions that range from soccer to horseback riding. This house is a place where we take pride in each other's accomplishments, special talents, and personalities."

"This chair is very meaningful to me," Nicole relates, "because it has been passed down from my grandparents to my mother to me. We have such a light house. It is comforting to have a darker wood piece to rest your eyes upon."
"I can't say enough about the Rocky Mountain hardware we have throughout the house," Nicole says. "The feeling of it in your hand is spectacular, and the heft of it provides a feeling of security and stability in the house. I love the beading detail."

Mills may find little time to explore hobbies as he prepares to take on a district that has been plagued by problems.
Rick Mills may be licensed to scuba dive, but he's found little time for diving as the Chief Executive Officer of Minneapolis Public Schools.
"I haven't been able to do much of that up here," Mills said from Minnesota after the Manatee County School Board named him their choice for superintendent Wednesday.
Mills may find little time to explore hobbies as he prepares to take on a district that has been plagued by problems in finance, student achievement and public support after a major budget deficit and the resignation of former superintendent Tim McGonegal.
The retired lieutenant colonel, whose 24 years of military experience far outweighs his time spent in public education, impressed citizens search groups and school board with a record of adherence to structure and efficiency.
Mills began his career as a commander in the United States Army, and worked as a West Point assistant professor and a Deputy Chief for the United Nations, among other military positions.
His career took him to Jerusalem, Israel, and to Florida. He spent more than three years as a military advisor and international program director at the MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa.
In 2000, the former CEO of Chicago Public Schools convinced him to transition to education. He worked as the director of multiple chicago military academies before rising to area superintendent in 2009. He's been the chief executive officer of Minneapolis Public Schools since July 2011.
"I'm very transparent, and I'm very direct," Mills said by phone Friday.
In an interview with the Herald-Tribune, Mills touched on his philosophy on leadership, his plans for the district and a love for Denzel Washington.
Note: Some of the answers have been edited for space.

Q. What financial plans do you have for a district that recently suffered a multi-million deficit caused by a flawed budget process? Please be as specific as possible?
A. Develop a highly competent finance leadership team that has blended experience in private, public, and audit financial management. Have CFO lead current state analysis of district financial position and finance staff for appropriate financial credentials.
Create and implement a five-year long-term financial plan based on an interactive financial model that will allow district to do "what if" analysis and flexibility stress tests.
Q. After spending time in Manatee County last week, what do you see as the particular strengths of the district?
A. Our exceptional employees clearly committed to delivering a quality education to our children. Our community is very committed to the well-being of the county and school district.
Q. As an out-of-state school administrator, how do you plan to get up-to-speed on the Florida education system?

A. Seeing my students get a quality education to enable them to realize their goals and dreams!
Q. What do you consider your weaknesses, as a person and as a school leader?
A. I tend to become bored with repetitive or detailed tasks and focus more on the overall objectives or big picture.
Q. What do you consider your strengths, as a person and as a school leader?
A. I enjoy taking charge and making decisions, accept difficult challenges, I'm hard-working, competitive and want to succeed, I take initiative, solve problems and take pride in getting things moving and done.
Q. Manatee County currently holds a "C" grade by the Florida Department of Education. How specifically do you plan to improve student achievement?
A. Writing and implementing an academic strategic plan with measurable student achievement goals aligned to the district scorecard — then writing aligned academic department plans and business plans — finally writing school strategic plans.
Q. What are your short-term and long-term goals for Manatee County?
A. Short term: Implement sound fiscal practices/systems; develop and implement a highly effective leadership team; develop and implement a highly effective organizational chart; implement effective school leadership instructional teams.

Q. Last movie you saw?
A. Flight — I am a huge Denzel Washington fan.

The founder of Reliant Engineering, Tom L. Williams had worked for the Raleigh Cycle Co. in Nottingham, where he designed a three-wheeled, two-seater car called the Safety Seven, powered by an air-cooled JAP V-Twin engine of 750cc. Despite its success in selling over 1,000 units between 1933 and 1936, Raleigh decided not to continue with the design of the car, which left Tom Williams with nothing further to do. Redundant, he left the company to start up his own business, developing his own prototype three-wheeler car in a shed at his home in Tamworth. He was assisted financially with a small loan from Barclays Bank.
Initially, the company produced a van based on a motorcycle front wheel supported on sprung forks connected to handlebars inside the cab. Power was delivered by chain drive to the leaf spring rear axle by a single-cylinder motorcycle engine and gearbox. The van had a carrying capacity of 7cwt. Later, the engine was replaced with a V-twin JAP unit that enable the payload to be increased to 10cwt.
In 1937, Tom Williams and his assistant, E.S. "Tommo" Thompson negotiated with the Austin Motor Co. to use their 747cc water cooled 4-cylinder engine, but a year later Austin stopped production of their engine, leaving Tom Williams no alternative but to produce an engine of his own. When the Second World War broke out Reliant had already delivered 1,000 vans until production was curtailed in favour of components for armaments. Van production started after the war and the first vehicle came off the production line on 13th March 1946, followed by another 2000 up to the early 1950s.
The Reliant Regal, the first passenger car came off the production line in 1953, the year of the Coronation. Unlike the earlier vans, the Regal now sported a conventional steering wheel. Three years later the ash frame and aluminium body was about to be replaced with a hand made body made from glass reinforced polyester (GRP), and the Regal Mk III made its debut, with time and cost savings for the company. Production soon rose to over 100 cars per annum, in addition to the vans, now based on a similar pattern. Perhaps there is significance in that the Reliant output was competing at that time with a 700cc vehicle of similar style from another manufacturer - BMW.
The motor industry during the 1950s was concentrating as much as possible on the export of as many cars as possible. The prime target was the USA. The home market was equally interested in acquiring one of the new "sports cars", but the US market was more affluent and the UK market was limited to buyers in the higher income bracket. This situation led to the creation of a small industry composed of enthusiastic engineers who offered kits to convert basic, cheap saloons into attractive sports cars by the use of GRP - the so called "Kit Car" market. This material was already being used by Reliant in a big way and was to be the mainstay of their manufacturing process right up until they ceased manufacturing.
Reliant made a decision in 1958 and an appointment in 1959 that were to change the company in a big way. First, They collaborated with the Autocars Company of Haifa in the design of an estate car. This was not the first of Reliant's endeavours, but it was significant in that it was one of the first 4-wheeled devices they had designed. They then appointed Ray Wiggin, a man with considerable foresight, as Deputy Managing Director.
The estate car project was soon followed by joint ventures in truck and saloon cars using fibreglass kits exported from Tamworth to several developing countries in Europe and Africa.
In 1960 Autocars were looking for a sports car for their home market, and for export to America. Reliant acquired the rights to the Ashley Laminates bodywork and produced a car with four wheels for Autocars called the "Sabra", named coincidentally after a species of cactus peculiar to Israel, its national emblem and used affectionately to describe young active Israeli!1. After a short but fairly successful production run and exports to Israel the link was eventually severed and Reliant decided to market the new car themselves in the UK. The name change to "Sabre" was logical and so logical that it led, of course, to the "Scimitar". This period in motoring history was also marked by the virtual demise of the Kit Car industry. Changes in UK legislation were made in the 1960s with the introduction of Value Added Tax. Kit Cars had up until then been subject to Purchase Tax and therefore exempt from taxation. VAT however became payable on Kit Cars. Some would say this was the death of the industry of the day. It was probably something that did Reliant an awful lot of good.
This new "Sabre" was initially powered by the Ford Consul four-cylinder 1703cc engine, mated to a ZF 4-speed gearbox, with reasonably competitive performance. Unfortunately, the price, handling and build quality were not and only fifty-five cars were sold over the two years of its production.
By 1961, under Ray Wiggins' guidance the three-wheeler body shell was a complete monocoque, and a new 600cc all-alloy OHV engine had been designed and put into production. This lead in 1962 to the launch of a new-style 3-wheeler called the Reliant Regal 3/25.
The success of the three-wheelers, the expansion into four-wheel vehicles for Israel and Turkey, and interest in the company and its production methods grew and in that same year the Hodge Group bought a 76% holding interest, which was to be the foundation for further expansion and influence on the production of the better known Reliant Sports cars.
By 1963 the four-cylinder Consul engine had been replaced by the straight-six cylinder 2,553cc Ford Zodiac engine and the body had been redesigned as a fixed head Coupé called the Reliant Sabre Six GT with much modified front end bodywork. Despite some intense activities in International Rallying, only seventy-seven cars were built between 1963 and 1965. However, for a small company, Reliant's rallying exploits were quite impressive, including their campaign with three Sabre Six GTs in the Monte Carlo Rally of 1963 and Class wins and places in other International Rallies of the period.
In the meantime, co-operation between Reliant and Ogle Design started and the first of some new innovative Reliant styles was seen on a Daimler SP250 chassis. Bill Boddy, the renown correspondent at Motor Sport remarked that "Reliant would have a very good product if they started with a clean sheet of paper", so perhaps this was the jolt that the company needed to look for a more elegant bodyshape. The solution came from Tom Karen at Ogle Design, who had been commissioned by the Helena Rubinastein cosmetics company to design a car for them, which was to be based on the Daimler SP250 chassis and would be known as the Ogle SX250. This car was to become the foundations for the Reliant Scimitar SE4 GT Coupé.
After the Daimler project foundered, almost by accident it was discovered that the Ogle 2+2 coupé body fitted almost exactly on the Sabre-6 chassis. This was to be the acclaimed Reliant Scimitar GT Coupé that Reliant launched in 1964, the same year that founder Tom Williams passed away.
As a result of the good relationship between Reliant and Ogle Design the Scimitar Coupé body was used as a base for a design concept commissioned by Triplex to demonstrate heated and laminated glass in automotive applications. The innovative style of this project caught the eye of the Duke of Edinburgh who was so taken with the Triplex Ogle "estate car" style that he used it for two years as his personal transport, and was to be the first of several links with the royal family for many years to come. Indeed, her royal highness the Princess Anne was given a Reliant Scimitar by her parents for her 18th birthday, a sporting estate car model, which emerged three years later in 1968, and was exhibited at the Motor Show as the revolutionary Reliant Scimitar GTE.
In 1967 Ford dropped the three SU carb. configured straight-six engine that had powered the Coupés in favour of the 3-litre V6 "Essex" engine. Reliant followed suit by fitting this new powerful V6 engine with a single Weber carburettor to the newly launched GTE, whilst still offering the revised Coupé with the 3-litre V6 engine. Both of these models were to be greeted with much acclaim. Reliant's production capacity was stretched to the limit and around this time and into the seventies the company was employing some 2,500 local personnel in almost a quarter of a million square feet of assembly space and an annual turnover of around £12m.
1977 saw the beginnings of a period of decline. The Hodge Group had already been taken over by the Standard Chartered Bank in 1976 and when the Bank decided to review their investments Reliant motors were sold on to the Nash Industries who had a totally different philosophy. Although 182,000+ three-wheelers had been built and the company had seen good times, Nash did not see it this way and reversed all the forward thinking and expansion strategy. Ray Wiggin resigned and the company probably never recovered. Lack of development of the GTE undoubtedly contributed to its demise, particularly as the Nash management decided to pursue the small sports car market. This in itself was a wise decision because with the exception of the Morgan and a few small specialist manufacturers the British sports cars had all but disappeared.
Unfortunately, Reliant spurned design suggestions that would use an existing Reliant running gear assembly as a basis for their new car, favouring a controvercial Michelotti design on a brand new chassis. Even more strangely, the company contracted out work to sub-contractors in the UK and Germany for components that they were probably capable of making themselves, or at least using existing principles that would have made the job more simple. The design was not a happy one, the components did not assemble well together nor look natural, but did incur high costs, such that the cars were heavily criticised and sales were poor.
In 1980 Reliant launched the Scimitar GTC SE8b, a 2.8-litre Ford "Cologne" powered convertible, the Ford "Essex" 30-litre engine having been withdrawn from production. This new power plant was also fitted to the revamped GTE - now dubbed the Reliant Scimitar GTE SE6b - giving the car more torque and at the same time improving the car in general with better sound insulation and updated electrics. Both of these cars could have been well received by the motoring public, especially the GTC which was launched at the time of the demise of the Triumph Stag, but the economic slowdown caused a temporary halt to production of the cars whilst stockpiles were run down. Sadly, three years later when production restarted the factory never recovered and in 1986 the production rights to the Scimitar GTE were sold to Middlebridge and Reliant retained the rights to the GTC for the time being.
In 1989 Nash Industries sold what was left of Reliant to the Wiseoak/Belmont property development organisation, and in 1990 losses sustained on the property market as a result of Government interference forced the new owners Johnson and Turpin to put the company into receivership. The factory was never to recover. One of the major creditors with a great deal to lose was Bean Industries who had been responsible for much of the engineering work having supplied basic engine and suspension castings. Beans revived the SS1, calling their new model the Scimitar Sabre, a very much cosmetically improved car, but they too went into receivership following major losses sustained after the Leyland/Daf merger.

Rock & Roll Nightmare is the second album by Southern California's LOS INFERNOS. Legend has it that JELLO BIAFRA was so impressed upon seeing them live on various occasions in various towns that he offered them a deal. Eager to get the ball rolling, we released a single called The Outlaw/Beer Run in April 1999.
LOS INFERNOS are 5 working-class dudes from Riverside in the glorious Inland Empire. Suburbia nestled between the Mojave desert and L.A. They grew up listening to X, Black Flag, Flesheaters as well as Link Wray, the Ventures and Dick Dale. So its no wonder that musically Los Infernos meld together twang, punk, rockabilly, surf, and a touch of hillbilly & blues. They have built up quite a reputation as a hot live band. So hot, in fact, that their van once caught on fire!
Rock & Roll Nightmare carries on where their debut album Planet Kaos left off. SoCal surf, Riverside rockabilly, and hillbilly hardcore that should appeal to sweaty pompadours, Gear-heads, as well as Fat Wreck-kids.

In a recent conversation at a conference lunch, I asked my peers what one word they would use to describe Agile. There were a few suggestions such as "flexible," "disciplined," and "responsive." When someone pointed the question at me, my answer was, "Learning." By that I mean, "continuous learning."
Have we lost sight of this? Is an adherence to the "practices" of Agile getting in our way of learning? Is the Agile community learning and evolving?
Without a culture of learning, processes take over that allow us to wriggle out of responsibility a mindset encapsulated in the phrase: "I didn't fail. The Agile methods don't work." I have heard variations of this many times. However, if a specific process doesn't work, the Agile team must learn what needs to be changed to succeed and possess the collective ownership to make the change.
Let's go back to what we are really trying to do with Agile Development: delight our customers and provide business value. Mary Poppendieck, of lean-development fame, offers many keys to accomplishing this through the removal of waste. We learn what waste is in our internal processes and remove it. We learn that the sooner we look for defects, the cheaper they are to fix. Sometimes people say, "We get to done, done, done and then we do a system test." Have they learned the value of getting to done, done, done? In starting to use Agile methods, one leader's teams complained that they could not get to done, done, done in just two weeks. Her reply? "Then let's figure out how to do it in one week." And they learned how to do just that.
And here, leadership is key. I have been in the Agile community a long time. With self-organizing teams, agilistas sometimes feel leaders are not needed. I have learned this is not the case. We need leaders to help create a culture of learning, trust, and ownership. Agile relies on learning from failures, taking risks to delight customers, and understanding the value of the software to the customers and to the business.
We have learned that we don't know what we don't know. We have a 5% chance of getting it right in the beginning. Can we hope to rely on rigid processes that go on for years with no learning and without adapting? Such an approach will likely miss the goal. How can we function in this rapidly changing world? Uncertainty is the new normal as are all the risks that come with it. We have learned it is difficult to commit to anything until we have our risks in an acceptable range. We can adapt to change by learning continuous learning. And we can lead change by going out to our customers and the marketplace and learning what needs to change.
Are the consultants we use helping us to learn? Or just teaching us how to follow a practice or process?
Consultants do have a useful purpose. They help teams jumpstart their exposure to Agile methods. But coaches should also help teams become self-sufficient by teaching them how to learn and adapt.
Learning is the Agile mindset, it is the core of Agile culture and it drives clear focus on delivering value to our customers and to our business. You can "do Agile," but if you don't learn from your customers, you will fail at delighting them. A practice of Agile has been to prioritize based on business value. But when I ask teams today how many know the business value of what they are building, very few hands are raised. So, how do they know which stories will increase marketshare and differentiate their product in the marketplace, and which must be built to hold marketshare and parity with competitors? How can teams know what is needed to be just like their competition and nothing more, and what needs an innovative and creative solution? Have we learned and adjusted our processes to account for these needs?
How do you teach people to learn in an Agile context? The answer is straightforward: Really listen to what the customers say, not what you want to hear. Learn what "value" means to customers. Understand what will make them successful. Prioritize and reprioritize based on what you have learned because what "value" is tends to change as time goes by. If a competitor delivers your differentiator to the market before you do, then your previous differentiator is now parity. Don't over-engineer parity features. Don't build it better than your competitors, build it as good. Learn from your market. Learn and adapt.
Is it not time to view continuous learning as the central mantra in all things Agile?
Pollyanna Pixtona is the cofounder of the Agile Leadership Network. She chairs several agile leadership summits a year. Pixton developed models for Collaboration and Collaborative Leadership through 35 years inside and consulting with corporations and organizations.

Carol K. from Philadelphia Area, PA says:
This is a nice little lamp and well worth the small investment. The magnifying glass is much stronger than I imagined for the price.

At 03:32 CEST on April 6, 2009, a major earthquake rocked the city of L'Aquila and the surrounding villages, in the center of Italy.
297 people were killed in those 20 seconds, more than a thousand were injured and around 70,000 were left homeless.
Many historic buildings collapsed in the centre of the city. This panorama was taken two and a half months after, at Piazza del Palazzo in front of the City Hall.
The reconstruction of the city will probably take more than a decade.

I'm getting better at the beehive! My sister took this picture below. We only have a tree because my mom is Norwegian so we do JUL for tradition's sake, but I SWEAR it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT from Christmas and that I really am a good Jew. I want to make this clear because I'd hate to get kicked out of the meetings, where I get to see my good friend Woody, the Stiller boys, Sarah Silvs, Natalie, Nimoy (or "Nimgoy," our name for him ever since he let it slip that he laughs at Whitney), the woman from your babysitting co-op, and the whole rest of the gang.
The Sound of Music is on our television set.
Did you see the post on Rookie of Spencer's mom's diaries and stuff? Here are the photos I neglected to include of just how much stuff there was. Ahhhh!
So pretty and cluttered!
I've recently come to understand, on an inarticulate level, the perfectness of Heart.
I added junk to the Twin Peaks best friend necklace I'm wearing above. A Jesus charm and a scented rosary, both from friends.
I bought this vintage jacket on Etsy, which isn't the coolest back story, but oh my GOD who cares it's so cooooool. When I was walking to school in it this old guy with a really long beard gave me a peace sign.
Some choice phrases: Not Cool, Are You For Real, Outlaw Underwear, Encourage Nudity in Flowers, Hippies Are More Fun Than People, Give Adam & Eve Another Chance, and Rembrandt Painted by the Numbers. Lots of them are from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. It's totally worth watching this clip of Goldie Hawn explaining time zones, if only for her crazy saucer eyes.
And while I have your YouTube attention span, I LOVE this video of a 13 year-old talking about slut-shaming and why it's wrong. She's so badass and smart and articulate and I'm really glad to see the video becoming popular. Of course, this means people are already calling her script plagiarized or written by her parents, discrediting and invalidating the girl's intelligence and only further proving that sexism still exists. Could people quit it with that? I don't really have to deal with it anymore now that I'm 15 and it's been a few years, but damn, I guess people are horrified by whatever they were like in their awkward phase and so they can't imagine that any 13 year-old could be well-spoken. "WHO TALKS LIKE THAT?" This girl, obviously! So do her friends, because sometimes when your friend calls someone a slut and you say that's dumb and explain how you feel, they identify with it. She and her friends all sit around and say smart things and then in the future some things will be as awful as adults say they will and some things will be better, and we'll all have her and her friends to thank for being the people who make things better. I want her to beon Ellen and stuff so more girls can be praised in our media for being smart and articulate and feminist.
We just watched Miss Representation in my women's history class (school is great when it doesn't suck) and I also recommend watching that. You can find it online free if you google it, and the trailer is below. I wish it was required watching for our whole stupid school (school sucks when it isn't great) because of that girls-ranking list that went around last year and because so many posters for our new feminism club were defaced. One was taken down by a teacher who said he was offended! Awesome. Whatever, I'm just gonna go talk to my friend Ryan about it, he totally understands.
This girl is great, too!
And the new Wes Anderson trailer came out, but you've already seen it and posted it to your Facebook with some variation of "awtiuehfkj" and cried about how the world will never look this beautiful.
I'M SO EXCITED! And I will present any audience member who cries "hipster" with my AM I SUPPOSED TO JUST NOT LIKE ANYTHING EVER? monologue, which goes like this: AM I SUPPOSED TO JUST NOT LIKE ANYTHING EVER? AM I ONLY ALLOWED TO LIKE THE REALITY SHOW ABOUT THE STUPID PEOPLE SO I DON'T SEEM PRETENTIOUS? WHY CAN'T I LIKE THAT AND WES ANDERSON? Ugh, stereotypes are so complicated. I like "graphic novels" because I can be a member of the cultural elite without having to know any big words. I've cracked the code, suckers!
Anyway, I've already taken screencaps, analyzed each one, and cried over how easily I can see myself throwing away everything I own after seeing the movie to reconstruct it all out of sticks and then remembering how much I love the reality show about the stupid people and then I'll look around with sorrow at a room full of poorly crafted handguns and books called .'--l because sticks don't have letters on them except sometimes on accident it looks like it because of weird marks like.'--l.
THIS GIRL. Her eye makeup! Her hair color! Her kneesocks! Her collars! Her luggage! Her hand kisses! Her name is Suzy! I just know I'll try and emulate her essence for about half an hour after leaving the theater, my confidence shaken by a single fart. I'm sorry, I just refuse to believe that people like this fart. (Also, I'm obviously way into the love story as well. So glad those of us who never want to be in a position where you have to compliment or receive a compliment from the person you're dating now have a precedent for our dreams of a relationship that means just listening to records and trying not to be a dick.) (Omg, I'm such a Carrie!)
FRANCES MCDORMAND AND WARDROBE. It looks like all 60s prints and sweaters and raincoats. This is totally perfect.
THEIR WACKY ADVENTURES. I would be content with just a series of still lifes of carefully arranged pinecones, but we get a plot, too?! Enthusiastic foreign phrase I can't pull off in real life!
THE CAST. No caps for this one, but I'm really excited about all the possibilities of those two kids/Frances/Bill Murray/Jason Schwartzman/Bruce Willis/Tilda Swinton/Edward Norton interacting.
OK that is all, hope your January isn't sucking!

Tree Shading
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2010 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 08, 2010
The relationship between tree shading and summertime home energy consumption has long been a topic of interest, and has been the subject of many simulations and small-scale studies. A recent study, led by Geoffrey Donovan, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, and David Butry, confirmed what previous studies had determined: Trees shading the west and south sides of houses reduce summertime energy consumption considerably. Butry and Donovan's study is unique in that it uses real electrical billing data on a large scale. While others had monitored one house, or a few houses, Donovan and Butry monitored 460 different houses located in Sacramento, California, making this the largest, most comprehensive study on the relationship between tree shading and home energy consumption to date. The pair collected data in the summer of 2007. They used aerial photography to collect data on the trees surrounding the 460 houses based on three factors: crown size, distance from the house, and aspect relative to the house. They then collected electrical billing data from the Sacramento Municipal Utility District and water use data from the city of Sacramento. They found that trees providing shade on the west and south sides of the houses reduced summertime ...

SEC's New Network with ESPN to Debut in 2014
ATLANTA - The Southeastern Conference and ESPN have announced a 20-year agreement to operate a SEC network that is scheduled to debut in August, 2014.
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said Thursday the SEC network will produce 1,000 live events each year, including 450 televised on the network and 550 distributed digitally. Slive says the network will carry approximately 45 SEC football games "and a depth of content across all sports" each year.
No financial terms were released for the deal, which continues through 2034.
The announcement came at a news conference attended by Slive, ESPN President John Skipper, 32 SEC coaches and each of the league's 14 athletic directors.
ESPN senior vice president Justin Connolly says AT&T U-Verse has signed on as the network's first distributor.
