Welcome to SmithvilleChurch.orgA WEBSITE DESIGNED TO BE A RESOURCE OF CHURCH BULLETIN ARTICLES
Nurturing people in the image of God since 1868. POB 397/520 Dry Creek Rd./Smithville, TN
A Well Placed Truth
Rio De Janeiro contains the world's largest soccer stadium with a capacity of 200,000. It is an awesome spectacle when it is full. it can also be very dangerous.
On Sunday, July 19, 1992, Maracana Stadium was filled to the brim for the national soccer championship game. On one of the upper levels of the stadium a large number of people were crowded against a guardrail that was the only thing separating them from a lengthy plunge into the stands below. Due to a lack of maintenance and some rusty bolts, that guardrail collapsed under the pressure of human flesh and 87 people plummeted a distance of about two stories into the seats below them. Eighteen of those people were seriously injured. There were no immediate fatalities, however two people would later die as a result of injuries from the fall.
The whole incident happened to have been caught by the television cameras. As the video footage was shown repeatedly on the news programs for the next several days, it made one's heart race to see those bodies falling through space. If only they had not trusted in something so flimsy! Yet, no one knew that the guardrail was so untrustworthy! Would things have been different if the fans had known?
Spiritually, we are always being tempted to place our trust and comfort in areas where they don't belong! In self. In riches. Etc.
Yet, God's word tells us, WARNS US, that these are not worthy of our trust. Proverbs 11:28 says that whoever trusts in his riches will fall (rather sobering terms in light of the above incident). A later verse (28:26) says that he who trusts in himself is a fool!
I believe that the situation in Maracana on July 19, 1992, would have been very different if the fans had known of the guardrail's fragile condition beforehand. The advantage we have in the spiritual realm is that the Bible has already told us where to put our trust, along with the consequences of trying to trust in something else.
"Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. " (Proverbs 3:5).
For His Cause,Tim Woodward

The Rise School has the highest expectations of, and aspirations for, all its pupils. Each pupil should have equal opportunities to achieve the best possible life chances, irrespective of socio economic background and to ensure that not a single pupil gets left behind.
We make every effort to ensure that disadvantaged pupils receive outstanding support and believe our core business is to ensure our pupils make outstanding progress as a result of outstanding teaching and learning.
The aim of the Pupil Premium Grant (PPg) is to support schools in raising the attainment levels of the most disadvantaged pupils and to 'close' or 'narrow' the gap' that exists. To this end, the Department for Education (DfE) provides additional PPG to all schools based on the pupils:
- who are currently eligible for Ever 6 Free School Meals (FSM)
- who are Looked After Children (LACs/CLAs)
- who are Ever 6 Service Child (children of Armed Forces Personnel within the last 6 years)
As a school, we recognise that it is not the funding itself that will improve achievement and attainment, but how it is used. The Department for Education (DfE) expects us to use PPG appropriately and to be accountable for the decisions we make. The school governors/trustees – who are judged by Ofsted as part of its assessment of the Leadership and Management of the school – must ensure that rigorous monitoring of PPG is in place and that it is managed efficiently and that staff and resources are deployed effectively in order to benefit all groups of pupils.
Our Pupil Premium Policy states that PPG must be used to support those pupils for whom the grant is eligible. However, it is difficult to spend PPG on the improvement of teaching and learning without benefits impacting on other pupils. Additionally, it is morally difficult to exclude a child who is not on FSM from accessing any initiatives if they could clearly benefit from them. However, we are also clear in the way that interventions are targeted to ensure FSM pupils benefit from PPG. Research published by the DfE suggests that nationally, 14% of families entitled to FSM are not claiming them and this figure rises to 25% in the South East. Recent correspondence to schools from Her Majesty's Inspectorate (HMI) advises that as long as schools can show they have narrowed the gap between eligible pupils and others and that PPF has contributed to this, then the PPF may also have an impact on non-eligible pupils.

Hi shuga loves😛(lol i have the weirdest names). Happy Thursday too. So today i was so bored and i saw my mum rearranging her jewelry box and threw out some pearls(i love pearls) and i just thought they shouldn't go to waste. Plus i had seen a couple of things you could make out of them so i decided to re make my favorite, Pearl Rings.
Lets get started
What you need :
plier,a wire, pearls(a big & small one) and super glue.
Step 1:Form a ring with the wire around the finger(s) you want to make the ring(s) for.
Step 2:Put the big pearl in the wire first, add super glue so it stays. Like so
Step 3:Add the little Pearl to the other end, just as you've done with the big one.
And you're DONE!
Pardon my terrible photography talent😭😭
Hopefully it'll get better 💙

AT&T U-verse is a unique DSL powered service that provides high-end broadband service that also delivers high-end digital television and telephone (VoIP) services. With a high end DSL platform capable of over 20 MPbs, AT&T U-verse is one of the fastest and most capable networks in the country and leverages that reliable speed to provide a wide range of entertainment options. Consumers can save a great deal by shopping for AT&T U-verse deals online and by bundling internet and tv packages.
AT&T U-verse Deals
Why Having Everything On One Wire is Great
Modern DSL technology is so fast that internet and phone packages with HD TV can all share the same data stream. This eliminates multiple bills to multiple companies and that consolidation saves consumers money. The ability to deliver HD TV with internet connection speeds not suffering is critical, but AT&T has a network that is up to it.
Why We Like AT&T Uverse
ATT U-verse takes full advantage of the fact that all these digital services are bundled. You can get caller ID on the TV set to decide what is and is not worth getting off the sofa for, and you can pause and resume at any time and in any room. That last feature is one that a number of other vendors have been trying to copy, but AT&T has had it for years and worked out all the bugs. Nothing peeves us off more than stopping an episode of an exciting show only to find that the we cannot resume it and have to re-record it when/if it comes on again.
The AT&T Uverse deals are great too. The Phone and internet bundles are good, but TV, home phone, and Internet together create a massive amount of savings and that is something that we wholeheartedly approve of. The U Verse channels are logically laid out and easy to upgrade.
Save Money on AT&T U-verse
Just because U-Verse is amazing does not mean that it is expensive. The service is quite competitive and savvy consumers will take advantage of great AT&T U-verse deals to save even more.

Nioh Update Adds New Sub Missions, Smithing Texts, and the Ability to Pause
The Journey Continues.
Look out Nioh players the new 1.06 update is looking to bring some new content for those who have reached the end game. This extra content focuses mainly around new sub missions that will be only available after players finish the actual game. While no number has been specified, players will be rewarded with new Smithing Texts and Titles for completing these high level challenges. There's no word if these missions will include new enemies or gear for users to obtain, but it will be nice to have some post game challenges to finish.
The other big addition will be the ability to actually pause your game, a key feature that was previously missing from the core game. Players will now be able to simply hit the Options button on their controller to freeze time and take a much needed break from slaughtering hordes of Yokai. Developer Team Ninja have also made some other minor tweaks to Nioh's balance including increasing the attack power of Tailsmans, the amount of Ki used for certain weapon moves, and some camera adjustments.
There were also a number of bug changes, all of which can be found on the official Nioh Facebook page here. The 1.06 patch has officially been released, so you wont need to wait if you're looking to jump back into this game.

Most tweens are busy learning about independence and responsibility while still enjoying the carefree lifestyle of a child, so their preferences and interests may change consistently as they grow into their teenage years. This can make it difficult to come up with exciting gifts they'll appreciate when a special event or holiday comes around. If your tween is on the artistic side, the following fun gift ideas may be right up their alley:
Dance Lessons
Dancing is a great form of exercise, provides an outlet for emotions, and is always fun to practice. Consider gifting your tween with a year's worth of dance lessons so that they can express their artistic nature. Choose a different type of dance for each quarter of the year so your tween has a chance to experience four different styles and decide which they like the best. Include a new dance outfit for each type of dance they'll be practicing with their gift. You can find a free certificate template online, print it and fill it out, and present it to your tween with the outfits.
Summer Acting Camp
If your artistic tween has a flair for acting, why not gift them with a summer of fun at an acting camp? They will learn lots of skills they can use in their everyday life while exploring the possibilities of embarking on an acting career in high school, college, and beyond. If your tween is apprehensive about leaving home for a long period of time, consider going the day-camp route instead. You can make evenings between camp sessions fun by hosting movie nights, slumber parties, and craft parties for them and their friends.
A Trip to New York
New York is an excellent place for an artistic tween to spend time because of all the plays, Broadway shows, museums, fairs, and art exhibits that are scattered throughout the city. Surprising your tween with a trip to the Big Apple is sure to put a smile on their face and provide them with memories that will last a lifetime. Spend the week before your trip planning an itinerary with your tween. It's a good idea to put together a list of options so you can maintain full control over the trip while giving your tween some say-so about how the trip plays out.
These gift ideas are sure to be a hit on their own, but there is no reason why you can't mix and match them to create an ultimate gift pack that your tween will be appreciative of for many years to come.

10 Minute Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce. How to make Creamy Vegan Queso Dip. For Nachos, salads, tacos and more. Vegan Nut-free Recipe. Jump to Recipe
This Creamy 10 Minute Cheese Sauce is flavorful and works amazingly for Nachos, Tacos, Mexican style bowls and everything! Some bell pepper, individual spices so that you can adjust the flavor profile rather than depend on a pre-mixed chili powder, nutritional yeast for cheesiness and jalapeno make this a fabulous queso. I also like it in quesadillas or sandwiches instead of cheese and with chipotle pepper spiced baked sweet potato fries. So good!
I have another Nacho Cheese Sauce recipe using chickpea flour which is also nut-free. Both work really well. This is a doubled up portion of the cheese sauce used with Bell pepper Nachos that I posted recently. For a Cashew based sauce see this deeply flavorful Nacho Mac Casserole.
Easy, Flavorful and Ready in 10!
Use it on regular Nachos, bell pepper and cauliflower taco "meat" nachos, dress tacos or wraps and add to quesadillas!
If you make this cheese sauce, let me know how it turned out!.
10 Minute Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce. How to make Creamy Vegan Queso Dip. For Nachos, salads, tacos and more. Vegan Nut-free Recipe.
- 1.5 tbsp oil , olive oil or organic safflower
- 2 cloves garlic , finely chopped
- 2 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper , finely chopped
- 3.5 tbsp flour , unbleached all purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp each of cumin ,garlic powder, dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp chipotle pepper powder or 1/2 tsp adobo sauce
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp ground mustard optional
- 1 3/4 cup unsweetened non dairy milk , such as almond milk or soy milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast , less or more to preference
- 1 tsp soy sauce optional
- 2 tbsp salsa
- 2 tbsp chopped pickled jalapeno for garnish
- cilantro for garnish, lemon for tang
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook for 2 minutes.. Add flour and mix in. Cook the flour in oil for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in the bell pepper and cook for half a minute. Mix in the spices and cook for a few seconds.
Mix in about half the non dairy milk and all of the nutritional yeast. Whisk frequently to mix in the lumps. Add the rest of the non dairy milk and bring to a boil. Cook until thickened. Taste carefully and adjust salt and flavor. Add more cumin or smoked paprika for smokier, chipotle for heat). Add a pinch of turmeric for color if you like and mix in.
At this point, you can cool the mixture slightly and blend it to make it more creamier and smoother (optional). Mix in the salsa if using. Garnish with pickled jalapeno, cilantro and lemon if needed. Some chopped roasted pimiento or red bell pepper also is a great option to mix in. Serve over nachos, tacos, with chips, quesadillas and more.
To make this Oil-free: Toast the flour on a dry skillet for 3 minutes until it starts to smell toasty. Remove from the skillet. Add onion and garlic and saute in broth. Add bell pepper and toasted flour and mix in. Add the spices and continue to cook for a minute. Add all of the non dairy milk and nutritional yeast and continue from step 2. The flour takes longer to mix in well and thicken. So whisk really well and cook a minute longer.
To make this gluten-free: Use 1 tbsp rice flour and 2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch instead of flour and tamari instead of soy sauce. Or use my chickpea flour Nacho sauce.
Nutrition is 1 of 4 serves.

|Subject: Jakarta's Thugs in
Red Berets Finally Brought to Account
Sydney Morning Herald Wednesday, February 23, 2000
Jakarta's thugs in red berets finally brought to account
By LINDSAY MURDOCH, Herald Correspondent in Jakarta
They call them Black Operations - kidnapping, killing, torturing, raping, burning and looting designed to intimidate opposition or set communities against each other. Sometimes they wear black masks, other times they pose as local thugs. Often local military officers are not told of the arrival in their towns and villages of highly trained, brutal soldiers who launch covert, state-sponsored terror campaigns.
"For decades they have been a law unto themselves," says Mr Robert Lowry, an Australian expert on Indonesia's armed forces. "They have become a force within a force that make work for themselves to justify their own existence."
But the new civilian government in Jakarta is preparing to effectively dismantle Kopassus, the country's 6,000-strong elite red beret special force that human rights investigators say is behind a swathe of terrorist acts across the archipelago over decades, including last year's violence in East Timor and atrocities in Aceh province.
The Defence Minister, Mr Juwono Sudarsono, told the Herald that he intended to cut back what he described as the "rag-tag" elite that Kopassus has become to a force of between 700 and 1,000, similar to Australia's anti-terrorist SAS group.
"My aim is to streamline the military, particularly the army and particularly Kopassus," Mr Juwono said. "I am just beginning to rein in the military to do what it does best and that is soldiering."
The move to radically cut back Kopassus and make it accountable to the new military hierarchy dominated by non-army officers appointed by the President, Mr Wahid, is certain to increase tensions between the army and the country's first democratically elected government.
A two-week stand-off between Mr Wahid and the former armed forces chief, General Wiranto, fuelled rumours of an army rebellion that subsided only when the general - accused over the East Timor violence - reluctantly agreed to step down from Cabinet.
Throughout the 1990s, Kopassus - the army's first special forces, formed in 1952 - was greatly expanded under the leadership of Lieutenant-General Prabowo Subianto, the ambitious son-in-law of the then President Soeharto.
"Kopassus was Prabowo's power base," said a retired army officer in Jakarta, who asked for anonymity. "He ruled it as his own fiefdom ... there were no checks, no balances. They were basically out of control."
General Prabowo tried to buy the unit Russian helicopters and insisted on its commandos being the best at everything, including rushing to beat Malaysian soldiers to climb Mt Everest.
But after Soeharto's downfall, General Prabowo admitted to a military tribunal that he had presided over the kidnapping of nine political activists.
He was drummed out of the military and forced into exile, one of the few times a Kopassus man has been brought to account.
At the height of the East Timor violence last year, journalists saw Kopassus soldiers change into civilian clothes and join militias attacking independence supporters.
Human rights investigators in the Territory have evidence that Kopassus covertly directed much of the violence before the September arrival of Interfet troops.
Australian soldiers with Interfet caught at least 10 Indonesians operating in militia units who carried Kopassus identity cards.
An independent commission investigating human rights abuses in Aceh over a decade concluded late last year that most of the troops responsible for countless atrocities in the province were from Kopassus.
Kopassus forces have traditionally reported to the military's senior commanders in Jakarta. Their primary role has been strategic intelligence gathering and special covert operations at home and abroad.
One of most spectacular successes of Kopassus was the storming of a hijacked Indonesian aircraft in Bangkok in 1981. Only one hijacker survived.
In 1962 its forces infiltrated Irian Jaya in support of Indonesia's liberation campaign.
When East Timor was invaded in 1975, Kopassus forces were among the first to land. For the next two decades they played a leading role in the province, hunting down the resistance leader Lobato in 1978 and in 1992 capturing his successor, Xanana Gusmao.
Over decades, Kopassus concentrated on eliminating rebel leaders and their support structures in Aceh, East Timor and Irian Jaya, now West Papua.
Some former Kopassus commanders have gone on to fill top positions in the armed forces, including General Edi Sudrajat and General Feisal Tanjung.
In 1998 Australia abandoned major military exercises with Kopassus after damaging publicity over its human rights record.
Indonesia's Parliament will summon General Wiranto to face questioning over East Timor, a senior politician, Mr Yasril Ananta Baharuddin, said yesterday.

Having been full of a cold last week I needed something nice and stodgy to help me to feel sorry for myself and beef stew was what I needed! Dumplings would have made it even better but I couldn't bring myself to ruin the diet THAT much!
Below are the basic principles, you choose what vegetables you like and adjust accordingly! Mushrooms haters just leave them out!
Beef and Red wine Stew
Serves 3 or 4 with some mash!
Preheat oven to around 160.
1 Large pack of casserole beef
2 sticks of celery chopped finely
1 large Onion roughly chopped
2 large cloves of garlic – chopped
4 Shallots – Peeled and halved – optional
A Small bowl full of root vegetables cut into cubes – I used Swede, Carrot Sweet Potato and some potato. You could even just get a stew pack from the supermarket that's ready cut.
10 Mushrooms peeled and halved
Half a bottle of Red wine ( don't use your good stuff though!) or you could use a can of stout which also makes a great stew.
1 tbsp Tomato Puree
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 Beef stock pot – or oxo cube
1 tbsp Fresh rosemary or 2 tsp dried if you don't have fresh.
1 tbsp Flour
Salt and Pepper.
Fry your beef chunks in hot oil in small batches and set aside. You just want to brown the edges, not cook it though so only about 1 minute. If you add too much at once the beef will stew and become tough and no one wants tough beef in a stew unless you are a dog.
Fry the onions, celery and shallots until going soft then add the garlic and fry for a few more minutes.
Add the chopped root vegetables and keep moving around the casserole dish until they start going soft.
Add the beef back into the pot and a heaped tablespoon of flour and salt and pepper and stir until the mixture is coated in flour.
add a beef stock pot, a tablespoon of tomato puree and half a bottle of red wine and give it a good stir making sure you scrape all the goodness off the bottom of the pan. Cook for a few minutes on a high heat then add the tinned tomatoes.
Add your fresh herbs and cook slowly in the oven until the beef is falling apart. If you sauce is not thick enough at the end take a table spoon of sauce and mix with a tablespoon of cornflour in a cup and then re add to the casserole and cook for another 10 mins. DON'T just put the cornflour in dry or it will just turn into bug lumps.
Add salt and pepper if needed
Serve in a big bowl with big wedges of bread covered in REAL salted butter ( non of this utterly butterly stuff)! or dumplings.. or with creamy mash.. or all 3 if you can handle the carbs! and eat it on your knee in front of the tv.
If you have any leftovers it tastes even better on day 2.

Does nothing come between Justin Bieber and his Calvins?
We will leave that question for the world's Bieliebers to ponder.
But suffice it to say, the somewhat grown-up pop singer and former Calabasas bad boy Justin Bieber is an offical Calvin Klein underwear and jeans model.
He shouted the same to his own personal rooftops via his own 21.2-million-follower Instagram account, with media outlets like the Hollywood Reporter adding to the avalanche of coverage showing pics of JB's increasingly tattooed frame sporting the latest in Calvin Klein kit.
There has been no shortage of famous faces, abs and other assorted body parts in Calvin Klein ads over the years, including — on the male side — the then-Marky Mark (and now just plain Mark) Wahlberg, and fellow actors Antonio Sabato Jr., Djimon Hounsou and Kellan Lutz.
One of the more famous Calvin Klein models is actress Brooke Sheilds. The then-15-year-old appeared in a 1980 television commercial for Calvin Klein jeans in which she uttered her now famous line, "You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing."

State Refinery Task Force
Learn about the Air District's development process for amendments to Regulation 11, Rule 10, which are part of a set of amendments that would provide revisions to existing refinery rules.
Find out about the status and anticipated timeline of the rule development process. Information on hearings, workshops, and other events is provided below, along with supporting documents and materials.
Regulation 11, Rule 10 - one of three rules referred to as the Refinery Rules package - was adopted by the Air District's Board of Directors at a public hearing on December 19, 2018:
Regulation 11, Rule 10: Hexavalent Chromium Emissions from All Cooling Towers and Total Hydrocarbon Emissions from Petroleum Refinery Cooling Towers was amended by the Air District Board of Directors in December 2015. Rule 11-10, along with other refinery rules, was challenged by three of the five Bay Area refineries in a lawsuit in 2016, Valero, et al. v. Bay Area Air Quality Management District. In March 2017, the parties to the lawsuit entered an enforcement agreement and agreement to stay litigation for these refinery rules. The agreement includes provisions for the Air District to modify implementation of the rules and subsequently develop corresponding amendments to the rules.
The Air District is developing amendments to Rule 11-10 to modify and clarify limited exemptions for smaller cooling towers and those not in petroleum refining service; modify and clarify leak monitoring, action, and reporting requirements; and remove requirements for implementation and recordkeeping of Best Modern Practices, which may conflict with other regulatory process safety requirements. These amendments are being developed along with amendments to Rule 6-5 and Rule 12-15.
The Air District released a Notice of Public Hearing and a Notice of Completion/Notice of Availability for a CEQA Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the project. The Air District accepted public comments on the proposed rule amendments, staff report, and CEQA documents.
Staff presented the final proposed documents for the amendments to Rule 11-10 and CEQA analysis to the Air District Board of Directors for consideration at a public hearing on December 19, 2018.
Regulation 11
The purpose of these amendments is to modify and clarify exemptions; modify and clarify leak monitoring, action, and reporting requirements; and remove requirements for Best Modern Practices and associated reporting.
Throughout the rule development process, we provide information on upcoming and past workshops, hearings, and other events.
The Air District held a CEQA scoping meeting on August 20, 2018, to discuss and accept comments on the scope and content described in the NOP/IS. The Air District presented the proposed final draft documents for the Refinery Rules Package (Rules 6-5, 11-10, and 12-15) to the Board of Directors for consideration at the December 19, 2018 Public Hearing.

William Erdis of Victoria Gardens was presented with a top award in May 1985.
Mr Erdis was awarded the Committee Shield in the William Keown Trust Award Scheme.
The project, masterminded by the Eastern Health and Social Services Board, was designed to bring recognition and inspiration to physically disabled people who showed particular effort, resilience and determination in overcoming their disability.
Then in his mid-50s and suffering from gross curvature of the spine due to a combination of accident and illness in his teenage years, Mr Erdis had a number of interests and had completed courses in music, art, computer studies, English language and also first aid.
He was divisional officer in the St John Ambulance Brigade, a group Scout leader and a member of a flute band.
He also gave lectures on first aid to Scouts, Girl Guides, the Girls' Brigade and the Boys' Brigade. Mr Erdis was nominated for the award by the pastor at his church.
Before the ceremony took place, Mr Erdis was asked how he rated his chances of winning an award. He said: "If I get anything, I will only be too pleased."

A small amount of Walnuts a day can slow the growth of tumours by reducing blood supply to the tumour, noticeably slowing down its growth.
Walnuts contain Omger-3 fatty acids and they can help slow the spread of cancer tumours.
Doctor Christos Mantzoros of Harvard Medical School carried out a first of its kind study to observe the impact of walnuts on micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNA), which control how genes mold to environmental factors.
'Our research demonstrates that a walnut diet causes significant changes in the expression profile of miRNAs in colorectal cancer tissue.' said Doctor Mantzoros.
Compounds in walnuts cause more Omega-3 fatty acids to assemble in tumour cells, he added.
Researchers fed a group of mice with 57gram of walnuts per day for humans and second group of mice was fed a controlled diet without walnuts.
After 25 days researchers found out that, mice with walnuts in their diet had miRNA that affects cancer cell swelling, blood supply and rapid increase.
The tumours of mice were fed with diet consisting of walnuts were found to have 10 times the amount of total Omega-3 fatty acids compared to the mouse that were fed with controlled diet with no walnuts.
However, the studies were conducted on lab animals the results may vary in the case of human subjects.
The study published in the Jouranl of Nutritional Biochemistry.
Bowel cancer or colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in the world and after lungs cancer it is the second leading cause of death in Western Countries.
In Birtian 41,581 people were identified with bowel cancer in 2011 and in the coming year 16,187 people died from the disease.
In US, the American Cancer Society estimated that there will be 132,700 new cases of bowel cancer in 2015 and it will cause 49,700 deaths.
Research has shown that 30-50 percent of bowel cancer in men and 20 percent in women can be avoided by consuming healthier diet and lifestyle.
Walnuts contain a decent amount of ALA-2.5 grams per ounce as well as a diverse amount of antioxidants, (3.7 mmol/ounce), and numerous vitamin and minerals.

Macromedia has released an update for Flash 5.0.
The update, Flash 5.0a, fixes several bugs and has been developed specifically for the Mac version of the authoring program.
It addresses an incompatibility problem with the Sound Panel and makes the export of large Flash files, such as movies containing Smart Clips, less prone to crashes.
GIF export The update also repairs a problem found in the English version of the application, in which exporting Flash-generated files in animated GIF formats could cause a crash if the command was accessed from the File menu.
Additional problems have also been fixed - moving an object using the arrow keys no longer causes a crash. Finally, drag-&-dropping a frame into a timeline layer with no blank frame in the layer's first frame will no longer cause a crash.
More information regarding the update is available from Macormedia's support page.

There is an article in today's Sydney Morning Herald about McIver Ladies Baths in Coogee. The baths were built in 1886 for the exclusive use of women, but last month a bare-chested man in board shorts demanded to be allowed to use them, on the grounds that he was having hormone therapy with the aim of becoming a woman.
The writer of the article has clearly decided to regard "baths" as singular and, as she's consistent about it, I can't criticise that (although internally I can grumble):
However, to prevent the reader's mind from boggling, punctuation needs to be accurately applied to the quoted sentence in this passage:
I also wonder if the locals aren't a bit eccentric, if they insist that dogs must only sunbathe with tops on:
and is the use of the word "mecca" in this next excerpt highly insensitive or totally culturally "appropriate"? I can't tell:

ARGENTINE CONSULATE, MIDTOWN, November 10, 2015 ~ Herman Cornejo & Luciana Paris talk about their careers, working with Julio Bocca, and dancing for American Ballet Theatre
American Ballet Theatre was founded in 1940. Decades of touring across the United States and internationally have made ABT America's National Ballet Company®.
Today ABT is led by Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie and Executive Director Kara Medoff Barnett. McKenzie celebrates his 25th anniversary with the company in 2017.
Susan Jones is Principal Ballet Mistress
International choreographer Alexei Ratmansky is Artist in Residence.
Misty Copeland is the most famous ballet dancer in America since Mikhail Baryshnikov. Her performances often sell out. Misty broke the mold of what a prima ballerina could be. She single-handedly created opportunities for an entire generation of young dancers.
Principal dancer Herman Cornejo is originally from Mercedes, San Luis, Argentina. He was trained by Julio Bocca and danced in Bocca's Ballet Argentino. In 1997, Cornejo became the youngest ever Gold Medal winner of the International Dance Competition in Moscow.
Soloist Alexandre Hammoudi is originally from Paris, France. He did his early training with Max Bozzoni of the Paris Opera Ballet.
Principal dancer Roberto Bolle is from the Piedmont region of Italy. He did his early training at the La Scala Theatre in Milan. Bolle is an international ballet superstar. Sadly for us, he spends most of the year performing in Europe. L'Arte della Danza is a 2016 documentary about Bolle.
Soloist Luciana Paris is originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She studied at the Colon Theater Ballet Company before becoming Julio Bocca's dance partner in Ballet Argentino. Paris joined ABT in 2001.
American Ballet Theatre's corps de ballet is filled with stars of the future.
Sebastian is a Latin New Yorker. He is definitely a young dancer to watch.
Giangeruso is Italian-American from Washington D.C.

"Hermeneutic theory is a member of the social subjectivist paradigm where meaning is inter–subjectively created, in contrast to the empirical universe of assumed scientific realism (Berthon et al. 2002). Other approaches within this paradigm are social phenomenology and ethnography. As part of the interpretative research family, hermeneutics focuses on the significance that an aspect of reality takes on for the people under study. Hermeneutics focuses on defining shared linguistic meaning for a representation or symbol.
In order to reach shared understanding as proposed in hermeneutic theory, subjects must have access to shared linguistic and interpretative resources (Marshall et al. 2001). However, hermeneutic theory also posits that linguistic meaning is likely open to infinite interpretation and reinterpretation due to the interpretative ambiguity coming from presuppositions, to the conditions of usage different from authorial intention, and to the evolution of words (Marshall et al. 2001).
Due to its interpretive nature, hermeneutics cannot be approached using a pre–determined set of criteria that is applied in a mechanical fashion (Klein et al. 1999). However, a meta–principal [sic], known as the hermeneutic circle, guides the hermeneutic approach where the process of understanding moves from parts of a whole to a global understanding of the whole and back to individual parts in an iterative manner (Klein et al. 1999). This meta–principal allows the development of a complex whole of shared meanings between subjects, or between researchers and their subjects (Klein et al. 1999).
Other co–existing principles that may help assure rigorous interpretive analysis involve: a) understanding the subject according to its social and historical context, b) assessing the historical social construction between the researcher and the subject, c) relating ideographic details to general theoretical concepts through abstraction and generalization, d) being sensitive to potential pre–conceptual theoretical contradictions between research design and actual findings, e) being aware of possible multiple interpretations among participants for a given sequence of events, and f) being conscious of potential biases or systematic distortions in the subject's narratives (Klein et al. 1999)."

"An intragame is a game within the game, e.g. the Pachinko machine in Duke Nukem 3D [or a Pac–Man level in Wolfenstein 3D]. Since computer games are based on simulator technology that could mix or include any other game in addition to the main game, the main game will be the only one classified."

"In a work of art, I rather like to find thus transposed, at the level of the characters, the subject of the work itself. Nothing sheds more light on the work or displays the proportions of the whole work more accurately. Thus, in paintings by Memling or Quentin Metzys, a small dark convex mirror reflects, in its turn, the interior of the room in which the action of the painting takes place. Thus, in a slightly different way, in Velasquez's Las Meninas. Finally, in literature, there is the scene in which a play is acted in Hamlet; this also happens in many other plays. In Wilhelm Meister, there are the puppet shows and the festivities in the castle. In Fall of the House of Usher, there is the piece that is read to Roderick, etc. None of these examples is absolutely accurate. What would be more accurate, and what would explain better what I'd wanted to do in my Cabiers, in Narcisse and La Tentative, would be a comparison with the device from heraldry that involves putting a second representation of the original shield 'en abyme' within it."

"In everyday interactions, the body serves as a critical site of identity performance. In conveying who we are to other people, we use our bodies to project information about ourselves.[32] This is done through movement, clothes, speech, and facial expressions. What we put forward is our best effort at what we want to say about who we are. Yet while we intend to convey one impression, our performance is not always interpreted as we might expect. Through learning to make sense of others' responses to our behavior, we can assess how well we have conveyed what we intended. We can then alter our performance accordingly. This process of performance, interpretation, and adjustment is what Erving Goffman calls impression management,[33] and is briefly discussed in the introduction to this volume. Impression management is a part of a larger process where people seek to define a situation[34] through their behavior. People seek to define social situations by using contextual cues from the environment around them. Social norms emerge out of situational definitions, as people learn to read cues from the environment and the people present to understand what is appropriate behavior.
Learning how to manage impressions is a critical social skill that is honed through experience. Over time, we learn how to make meaning out of a situation, others' reactions, and what we are projecting of ourselves. As children, we learn that actions on our part prompt reactions by adults; as we grow older, we learn to interpret these reactions and adjust our behavior. Diverse social environments help people develop these skills because they force individuals to reevaluate the signals they take for granted.
The process of learning to read social cues and react accordingly is core to being socialized into a society. While the process itself begins at home for young children, it is critical for young people to engage in broader social settings to develop these skills. Of course, how children are taught about situations and impression management varies greatly by culture,[35] but these processes are regularly seen as part of coming of age. While no one is ever a true master of impression management, the teenage years are ripe with opportunities to develop these skills.
In mediated environments, bodies are not immediately visible and the skills people need to interpret situations and manage impressions are different. As Jenny Sundén argues, people must learn to write themselves into being.[36] Doing so makes visible how much we take the body for granted. While text, images, audio, and video all provide valuable means for developing a virtual presence, the act of articulation differs from how we convey meaningful information through our bodies. This process also makes explicit the self–reflexivity that Giddens argues is necessary for identity formation, but the choices individuals make in crafting a digital body highlight the self–monitoring that Foucault describes.[37]
In some sense, people have more control online–they are able to carefully choose what information to put forward, thereby eliminating visceral reactions that might have seeped out in everyday communication. At the same time, these digital bodies are fundamentally coarser, making it far easier to misinterpret what someone is expressing. Furthermore, as Amy Bruckman shows, key information about a person's body is often present online, even when that person is trying to act deceptively; for example, people are relatively good at detecting when someone is a man even when they profess to be a woman online.[38] Yet because mediated environments reveal different signals, the mechanisms of deception differ.[39] "

text: No. 9 ASU wrestling wins back-to-back Pac-12 championships The Sun Devils successfully defended their title in Oregon on Sunday night Share Tweet Email Print Back-to-back is not a phrase that has been associated with the No. 9 ASU wrestling team the past few years — however, that stigma has officially changed. The Sun Devils won their second Pac-12 championship in a row on Sunday in Corvallis, OR. ASU posted 96.0 points to win, while Oregon State finished second with 70.0 points followed by CSU Bakersfield (52.5), Stanford (47.5) and Cal Poly (37.0). Individual champions included senior Ali Naser (133); redshirt senior Jason Tsirtsis (149); redshirt sophomores Josh Shields (157), Anthony Valencia (165) and Zahid Valencia (174); and freshman Kordell Norfleet (184). ASU has not repeated as conference champions since the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. Among the six champions, Tsirtsis might have the most interesting journey. Tsirtsis's opponent wrestled tough in the finals match, but Tsirtsis was able to work his offense and add a Pac-12 championship trophy next to his Big-10 conference trophy. Tsirtsis, who won an NCAA championship in 2014, ran out of eligibility at Northwestern, but was granted an extra year from the NCAA. Naser is another ASU senior standing on top of the podium, a wrestler who was not even in the national ranking to start the year. Naser controlled both of his matches and exhibited his tremendous improvement throughout the long season. Head coach Zeke Jones said most of Naser's improvement involved his top rides, meaning he does not give up any easy escape points. "That's what was holding him (back) at the beginning of the year," Jones said. Norfleet was not part of ASU's initial recruiting plans, but after a couple of marquee wins and a few character affirmations, Jones said he went after Norfleet hard. "I'm just happy that we won," Norfleet said. "It's a good day in the Sun Devil community." In the first place match, Norfleet had an offensive feeding frenzy that did not slow down the entire seven minutes. "He dominated that kid," Jones said after Norfleet's first place match. "He is going to be in the mix to win it in a couple of years." CHAMPS!!!For the second straight year, the Sun Devils are the Pac-12 champions, their 20th conference championship all-time and 18th in the Pac-12!#SunDevilIntensity pic.twitter.com/xpgusZH2kX— Sun Devil Wrestling (@ASUWrestling) February 26, 2018 Although ASU controlled its own destiny and earned another conference championship, the team is always looking to get better. The Sun Devils improved on some of their weaknesses since their last test against Lehigh a month ago, but Jones still isn't comfortable with his team's top game. "Our riding has to get better, and we need to fight for bonus points," Jones said. "We have to get them to do the hard things." Even though there is some room for improvement, the Sun Devils are celebrating their second conference championship under Jones. Senior Associate Athletic Director Don Bocchi believes this is just the beginning for ASU, and is proud of the work the team has put in to become a top-level program. "This means a lot because they work so hard," Bocchi said. "Next year we're going to have eight (champions)." ASU has another two weeks of rest before the NCAA tournament in Cleveland, OH. Last year, ASU earned their highest place finish since the 2011 season, and will be looking to finish higher this season. "We're never satisfied," Jones said. If this years' improvement is any kind of foreshadow, the team will surprise a tremendous amount of spectators at Quicken Loans Arena, March 15-17.

Judge grants agency more time to finish search for papers
By: Peter Marcus, The Durango Herald
November 6, 2015
A district court judge has granted the U.S. Forest Service more time to comply with a court order to release documents about the proposed Village at Wolf Creek.
Environmental groups opposed to the development argue the agency's request, filed Oct. 27, suggests the Forest Service will do whatever it takes to withhold and delay disclosure.
"Even when faced with a court order, the Forest Service still failed to allocate the necessary resources to get us the records we are legally entitled to," said Matt Sandler, an attorney for Rocky Mountain Wild, which has been leading efforts against the proposed development.
A Colorado U.S. District Court on Sept. 30 not only ordered the release of thousands of pages of documents, but also admonished the Forest Service for unjustifiably withholding the materials.
Environmental groups requested communications between the Forest Service and other agencies, developers, third-party interests and the public.
Senior Judge Wiley Y. Daniel found that the Forest Service violated the Freedom of Information Act and gave the agency until Oct. 30 to conduct a new, more complete search of documents and communications.

Pregnancy is hard on the body, but the last trimester is often considered the hardest. This is the point where the baby weighs more and uses up more of your nutrients. You can suffer back pain, struggling with aching legs and hips and may just constantly feel tired. You need to make this trimester as comfortable as possible and here are six great tips.
Slip-On, No Heeled Shoes
Avoid heels as much as you can. Not only will they quickly become uncomfortable, but they will also cause stability issues. Your centre of gravity changes during this last trimester because of the positioning of the baby. You'll also find your feet swell considerably, so having slip-on shoes is something to think about.
Comfortable Trousers
You may have been a jeans or tight trousers lover before pregnancy, but right now you want to focus on comfort.
Look out for jogging bottoms or stretchy trousers that are comfortable over the bump and on your legs. Skirts and dresses are often a great idea because they offer you the extra movement that you need.
Accept Help—Or Ask For It
There is still a lot of stuff to do in the house. You may still have baby stuff to put up, or it may just be thehousework. Whether you've taken early maternity leave or not, accepting help around the house is a great way to feel more comfortable during this time.
If the help hasn't been offered yet, call your friends and ask for it. You'll also find that the socialising will do you some good.
Pregnancy Exercises
Exercising is still important right now. The right exercises will help with easing labour and making delivery quicker. There are a range of pregnancy exercises that your health professional will be able to give you. You could also join various antenatal classes to make sure you're doing the exercises properly and safely.
Treat Yourself
You may be tired, but that doesn't mean you can't treat yourself. In fact, treating yourself can be very refreshing and help give you a boost in energy.
Book a manicure or pedicure, or take a trip to a spa—just make sure they are safe for your baby. You don't even need to spend that much on treating yourself. Sit on the couch and watch your favourite movies on your day off work.
Get A Massage
Massages are great for pregnant women. They help to ease the stress on your back that the extra weight from the baby is putting on it. However, you need to make sure the massage is safe for your baby. Book in with a pregnancy massage professional.
Invest In A Pillow
Pregnancy pillows are not a fad. They are a great investment, and can even help with breastfeeding and the first nights with your little one. The pillow supports your bump during the night, making it easier to sleep. It will also support your legs when you're on your side.

Defeating The Purpose
If I recall correctly, the entire point to the IBA was the fact that it could carry all your stuff, AND be quickly removed in case of injury, etc. Wearing the LBV directly OVER the body armor adds weight, another layer to retain heat, and most importantly, completely nullifies the quick release feature of the body armor. Way to go 1st CAV! I hope this looks good on someone's OER.
That guy
I wish decisions like this one would actually reflect on the Officers OER as a horrible decision. But that will never happen. I knew a CPT who was commended on his OER for having all of his soldiers out in the field, even the ones who were broke and had profiles that explicitly stated they could not go to the field. That is one reason I am happy I got out, many of the higher ups only care how their OER's and NCOER's look.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 3:45 PM
Agreed. Let's not forget that the entire purpose of using MOLLE was just that, to make it modular! I have trained to fight with my mags in one place but I'm in a new unit and they want my mags in another. I told them to take a long walk on a short pier.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 3:50 PM
Looks surprisingly similar to the "Marne standard"
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 3:58 PM
What is the purpose of having the equipment placement straps on the body armor if you're not even going to use them properly, or worse, not at all. Hopefully whoever created this dangerous SOP realized their mistake before someone get severely injured.
Also have to say.... 10 to 1 that's an enlisted posing for the picture instead of the Officer who came up with the SOP. But then again, I don't blame him, I wouldn't want my face on something like that either.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 4:02 PM
Dude. Uniform is NCO business. No officer put this out.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 4:03 PM
Now, i had a rack that attached w/ buckles. if i pulled my ripcord, it would have stayed attached to the front and side, but allowed the back piece to separate and free me. the FLC, thats just retarded to wear in the first place
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 4:09 PM
Cdavid (doc2.0)
I hate when someone designates which side someone has to put a grenade pouch or IFAK on for the sake of uniformity. The kit should be able to be configured to the individual as long as they have all "necessary" items, I need be able to maintain a shooting posture in the rare instance I end up shooting from my belly, need to be able to reach my Ifak with my preferred hand assuming I still have it, and need to be able to be comfortable with the configuration of my kit to achieve optimal performance.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 4:37 PM
Oh, 1st CAV! When will your shenanigans ever stop?
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 5:07 PM
The only good reason I ever saw to use the FLC was when you are in a vehicle-only position, such as the driver or the gunner in a truck, where you wouldn't necessarily need everything on you. This way you could set it aside and have more room to perform your duty. I swear, when I see or am told about SOP's like this, it seems like they only do that to justify having the FLC on your packing list.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 5:08 PM
I personally did not like putting my ammo, grenade and radio pouches directly on my IBA. A FLC of some sort distributes the weight better in my opinion. A FLC certainly does not add any more heat retention than the just the IBA, that is a bogus issue. The quick release issue is real, but it does it outweigh other considerations such as being able to wear just an IBA with no extra gear for work detail on an OP or COP? Finally, I believe in SOPs and Soldiers having their mission essential equipment carried uniformly for obvious reasons and every unit I have been in has followed that practice.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 5:38 PM
After a total of 27 months in Kunar in an infantry platoon, I will say that to a man we almost all preferred to use a FLC. Having all of that crap attached directly to the IOTV or IBA was ridiculous in terms of weight distribution. Not to mention when you did have to pull guard duty in a turret or something you now have an extra 15lbs+ of crap hanging on you.
Mandatory elbow/knee pads are retarded if you are conducting a legit foot patrol. Mandatory eye protection is pretty stupid as well, especially when soldiers are required to wear it in order to leave their hooch and walk to the pisser. Foggy eye protection = no thanks.
The whole Army is so incredibly risk averse these days its ridiculous.
As far as this being a safety issue: Why? Are that many troops really at risk of falling into a river and drowning? Or having the turret as the only route of egress from a submerged/burning vehicle? I'm sure as long as they have their PT belt on everything will be okay.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 5:49 PM
Kristian375, I understand having some standardization, IE IFAK in the same place but beyond that as an Infantry grunt I enjoyed the freedom of being able to place my equipment where I needed it. My team leaders were not lazy or incompetent so they were still able to check and ensure I had all the required equipment.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 5:57 PM
Dude is right. The Good Idea Fairy visited the CSMs for this crap.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 6:14 PM
I am in the Cav and this came down about 5 months ago and me and fellow NCOs asked our chain, " What happened to train as you fight?" My Soldiers are combat ready no parade can't have it both ways.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 6:23 PM
Clear eye protection it's not stupid. Wearing it after it becomes too damaged to be effective is. I wore commercial eye-pro on every tour and was at first surprised by how many times it blocked stuff from my eyes. I hadn't realized how often sand, trash, etc. came my way.
I did buy my own. I like the wrap-around styles that come in various tints and are inexpensive when you buy in bulk. Instead of the $75 ones we were eventually issued, I preferred and wore the $1/pair ANSI Z87.1+ rated ones. A new pair when needed and without the butt-pain associated with the system will change your mind about effectiveness.
You only get two eyes, there is no re-issue!
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 6:55 PM
Actually the IFAK being on the same place on every soldier is important. When someone is injured you use their IFAK to treat them. It's important to know where to find that IFAK on the wounded soldier so that you are not wasting time searching for it when someones life is on the line.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 7:30 PM
Marne Standard indeed... no wonder no one wants to be here.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 7:48 PM
Hell yes, this has SGM written all over it...
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 8:38 PM
The FLC doesn't add any heat. My PSG ordered us to use it in a particular way for several months until he was overruled. Most notably, the back strap was removed altogether so the FLC could be slipped on and off the neck easily. Of course you had to take your k-pod off first, but it was a great method.
Would be even better if we could use self-purchased plate carriers. We have the option of choosing any fire-resistant glove over RFI nomex flyers, but the IBA or IOTV isn't up for debate?
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 8:53 PM
Yeah, because officers never stick their retarded noses into NCO business and f***er things all up.
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 10:21 PM
Mag pouches should be where it is comfortable for the Soldier not where you are told to put it!
Posted: October 11, 2012 at 11:24 PM
That ain't an OER bullet that is some dumb fkn CSM s***. Some dumbassed COL allowed it to happen but you can be the CSM was the originator and pusher of the idea.
Posted: October 12, 2012 at 2:34 AM
I remember going out to the range with the set up I was ordered to have...pretty much mags and ifak on the left side. My E7 yelled at my little private self for taking so long to qualify. I told him if I could set up my IBA where I'm comfortable I'd qualify expert every time. He finally let me and I did. It sucks being a left handed shooter and the Army never seems to take that into account.
Posted: October 12, 2012 at 8:09 PM
My old PSG had certain guys wearing the FLC. For others it was personal choice. Gunners wore it because they didn't need all their extra crap up there in the turret, so they could just toss it to the side for the time. Anyone with a 240B wore it so if he got shot, they could (more) easily get the extra ammo and stuff off of him and get it to the guy who took over the MG. Sounded pretty reasonable to me.
As far as where on your gear everything goes? Only requirement was the IFAK so your buddy could find it faster if you were bleeding. Other than that you put your stuff were you could get to it easily.
And regarding the comment on the picture, when did the IBA have a quick release?

Memory Care
At Royalton Place, our memory care program, Kingswood Court, is unique in the Milwaukie area. We offer multiple living arrangements including private studio units as well as shared accommodations. Each resident is encouraged to bring their favorite belongings from home to make the adjustment to their new living arrangements easier, and our staff is specially trained to assist residents at all stages of the dementia disease process. Ongoing educational classes and resources are available for families who wish to learn more about the dementia, and our staff is available 24 hours a day for support. Residents who are in the early stages of the disease are often just beginning to experience issues related to memory loss. With the proper support by trained professionals, independence can still be encouraged, increasing confidence and enhancing quality of life for as long as possible.

The outdoors are invited in by the large windows looking out onto our garden and patio that surrounds the neighborhood.

Sit & stretch, trivia hour, art classes, pet therapy, card games and scenic drives are often found on our activity calendar. Our neighborhood itself is security code protected so our residents can walk and wander safely inside and out.
Memory Care Program Services
We designed our memory care services with the ever-changing needs of those who are living with Alzheimers Disease and other dementias in mind.

Miami Dolphins
Hard Rock Stadium opens for business with 'incredible' feedback
Adam Beasley's Miami Dolphins report
The field was pristine. The weather held off.
And other than the unavoidable issues that come with any game night, Hard Rock Stadium's soft launch was a success.
"The feedback's been incredible," Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel said before Thursday night's preseason game against the Titans. "It's really fun seeing the players and the coaches get here because a lot of them haven't seen it yet. And having played here or coached here in the past, they're just kind of blown away, like, 'This feels like a totally different building.'"
One with a roof -- although a bit of work remains.
Workers still need to install heat-resistant translucent panels on the west and north ends of the shade canopy, the remaining construction will be finished by the Sept. 25 regular-season opener, Garfinkel said.
But the structural work on the 17-acre canopy, which began seven months ago, wrapped up last week. Garfinkel said some 600 construction workers were on-site, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"It's really incredible when you think about the amount of steel that was lifted and the number of pieces, the number of bolts, there were 600,000 bolts that had to be bolted in and all of these pieces of steel lifted," Garfinkel said. "Again, it's because of Steve Ross' commitment, not only financially, but to be personally invested everyday, the phone calls, to driving it to conclusion."
While there was some concern that South Florida would get drenched by Hermine's outer bands Thursday night, the skies were overcast, but calm, at kickoff.
Garfinkel said the stadium's intricate drainage system handled this week's rain well.
As for the newly installed Platinum TE Paspalum turf, Garfinkel said it's "in amazing shape. ... I think it'll last longer aesthetically. The Bermuda's a fine grass but this is more durable, aesthetically better, a little softer. So the field's incredible."
San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick's choice to protest the national anthem was the story of the week in the NFL.
The Dolphins on Thursday made sure they won't be the story of next week. Miami's bench was empty when the Star-Spangled Banner was sung before the Titans game. .
So while some Dolphins players, including Arian Foster, agree with Kaepernick's criticism of some police officers' misconduct toward African-Americans, no one sat as Kaepernick has and will continue to do
If Thursday was Daniel Thomas' last game with the Dolphins, as most expect, he made it memorable. Thomas scored on a one-yard run and then forced a fumble on a punt return that John Denney recovered later in the second quarter.
Thomas is in his third go-round with the team that drafted him in the second round in 2011. Thomas never lived up to the billing, and was cut before the 2014 season, only to be brought back after Knowshon Moreno was lost for the year.
In four seasons with Miami, Thomas carried the ball 409 times for 1,480 yards and 10 touchdowns. He spent 2015 out of football after the Chicago Bears cut him late in camp.
This was a typical fourth preseason game in two ways: It was sloppy. And it was bereft of star power.
Neither team played its starting quarterback. Ryan Tannehill got the night off. So did Marcus Mariota.
But at least nine Dolphins who have a chance to start Week 1 suited up: corners Xavien Howard, safeties Isa Abdul-Quddus and Michael Thomas, linebacker Spencer Paysinger, running back Jay Ajayi, and offensive guards Jermon Bushrod, Dallas Thomas, and Billy Turner.
▪ Linebacker Mike Hull left the game in the first half with a hip injury.
