Miami came into the national title game riding a 29-game winning streak, but the Hurricanes hadn't seen anything like what Bill Oliver had cooked up for them.
TUSCALOOSA | The game plan had its genesis in Chattanooga. It was shaped in Clemson and Memphis and perfected in New Orleans.
Bill Oliver, the University of Alabama's secondary coach, was the architect of the defensive scheme that humbled top-ranked Miami's high-powered offense in the Sugar Bowl and captured the 1992 national championship for the Crimson Tide. The Crimson Tide defense, ranked No. 1 in the nation in every major NCAA statistical category, dominated the Hurricanes and Alabama cruised to a 34-13 national championship victory on Jan. 1, 1993.
Defending national champion Miami came into the national title game riding a 29-game winning streak, having scored 35 or more points in six of its 11 games. Quarterback Gino Toretta had won the Heisman Trophy and was finishing off his second 3,000-yard passing season in a row.
Alabama's defense was the best in all of college football — and many still contend the best of all time — but hadn't been tested by an offense like Miami's.
No matter: The Hurricanes hadn't seen anything like what Oliver had cooked up for them.
"We never ran anything that was like a normal defensive grouping, not one snap in that ballgame," Oliver said, looking back two decades laster.
While he was head coach at Tennessee-Chattanooga, Oliver had schemed up a defense that employed six and seven defensive backs to upset a superior Appalachian State team. In stops as defensive coordinator at Clemson and with the Memphis Showboats of the now-defunct United States Football League, he toyed with the same idea.
For Miami, an 8 1/2-point favorite, he ramped it up.
Alabama utilized schemes with three and four defensive linemen, one or two linebackers and from five to seven defensive backs. Oliver stacked the deck by often having the Crimson Tide defense line up with all 11 players within a couple of feet of the line of scrimmage.
The message to Toretta was clear: We dare you.
"Usually I wanted to disguise our intentions," Oliver said. "I wanted to disguise when we were going to blitz or drop back in coverage.
"Our objective in this game was to show them our intentions. We didn't want to disguise it. We wanted to make (Toretta) nervous."
Mission accomplished.
"We knew early that they were confused," Alabama safety George Teague said. "You always try to glare into the quarterback's eyes."
Teague recalls doing just that and having one thought: "Oh, we've got them now."
Toretta passed for 278 yards without a touchdown and was intercepted three times, with one returned by Teague for a touchdown. Toretta completed just 24 of 56 attempts.
Alabama's coverage enveloped Miami's spread formation, at times double-covering all three receivers with a safety on the tight end and a linebacker covering the running back out of the backfield.
And with all 11 defenders lining up within a foot or two of the line of scrimmage, Miami had no way to read who was going to do what on any particular play.
But as well as Oliver's master scheme worked out, it was designed to be utilized as an adjustment rather than as a primary plan of attack. Alabama scored a quick field goal, which Miami matched. Oliver, concerned that the Hurricanes would get into an offensive rhythm, made an on-the-spot decision that turned the game.
"My plan was to use it for a second-half thing," Oliver said. "Miami went down there and kicked that field goal and I just said, 'Hell, let's go with it.' And we went with it."
Alabama defenders were anxious to show what they could do after a buildup to the game that saw Miami players scoff at UA's use of zone defense, saying the Crimson Tide wasn't man enough to cover their accomplished wideouts man-to-man.
"They were doing a lot of talking," cornerback Antonio Langham said.
Langham sat with ESPN's Chris Fowler as the television analyst read examples of Miami's smack talk to him. UA head coach Gene Stallings had warned his team to let the Hurricanes do the talking and instructed them to not provide Miami with bulletin-board material, but Langham couldn't take it anymore.
"My blood was boiling and I was thinking, 'Give me more, give me more.' But finally I just lost it right in front of the camera and I said, 'Sometimes people's mouths write a check that their behinds can't cash.' That was it," Langham said.
Langham was mildly scolded by Stallings at a team meeting, but got a different reaction when Oliver had the defense together behind closed doors.
"Just between us in this room, what (Langham) said, I feel the same way," Oliver told them. "We're going to give them everything we've got."
Alabama's defense couldn't wait for the call to go with a defensive set called 31-Up. It came for the first time on a third down in the first quarter.
"That particular play, Coach Oliver, out of nowhere, just said forget it and said there was no need in waiting," cornerback Antonio Langham said. "He just threw that defense out there, and we went into that coverage and we had all 11 men on the line of scrimmage.
"And to line up man-to-man? Because they said we weren't real men because we didn't play man-to-man. ... Man, (Oliver) opened up that game plan and we took it to them."
Oliver told Langham before the game that he would be covering Miami's Horace Copeland, a deep threat with 47 catches for an average of better than 16 yards per reception.
"I don't want him to catch one pass," Oliver told Langham.
Copeland finished with two receptions for 21 yards, emblematic of the clamp Alabama put on the Hurricanes' passing game.
The Crimson Tide defense handled the Hurricanes, but it was a special teams play that got Alabama's offense on track. David Palmer, wearing No. 2 and known as "The Deuce," returned a punt 38 yards to the Miami 24-yard line to set up a field goal that gave Alabama a quick 3-0 lead. It was just the second time all season that an opponent had scored first on the Hurricanes.
"I was actually out there on that punt return," said Teague. "Our slogan was always wanting to say, 'The Deuce is Loose.' It was such a burst for our team and our fans. It sparked us."
Alabama's offensive line had motivation of its own from Miami's verbal assaults leading into the game. Miami linebacker Rohan "Rat" Marley, the son of late reggae musician Bob Marley, encountered tackle Roosevelt Patterson in the French Quarter a few days before the game.
"You must be a lineman, you fat, sloppy (expletive)," Marley called out.
Marley's taunt couldn't have played better into Alabama's offensive game plan. If Miami was all flash, the Crimson Tide was all smash. While quarterback Jay Barker went just 4-for-13 for 18 yards passing with two interceptions, Alabama's ground game pounded out 267 yards on 60 carries, with Derrick Lassic earning most valuable player honors with 135 yards and two touchdowns on 28 attempts.
All those yards came against a defense designed by a man who would later go against Alabama as head coach at rival Auburn.
"We trapped them a lot," Oliver said. "What they did defensively, that was Tommy Tuberville. They were upfield, upfield, they were easy to trap."
More important than the yards were the minutes that UA was able to keep Toretta and the Miami offense watching from the sidelines.
"One thing that I think that helped was our offense stayed on the field maybe 13 minutes than their offense," said Mal Moore, an Alabama offensive assistant at the time and now UA's athletic director. "That was very important in the game. Our strength was we could run the ball, and that helped run the clock and kept us on the field."
As Alabama took control, running out to a 27-6 lead on Teague's 31-yard interception return for a touchdown with just under 10 minutes to go in the third quarter, the Superdome began to resemble a Crimson Tide home game, with deafening reverberations from cheering fans.
"It was just electrifying," Moore said. "I think everybody stood the entire game. It was that kind of excitement as the game unfolded."
Dabo Swinney, a senior split end at the time and now head coach at Clemson, marveled as he watched it all unfold.
"That night it all came together," Swinney said. "To experience that, you can't even put it into words."
Only two words mattered that night for Alabama: national champions.

Protect Kids from Lead Poisoning
Protect Kids from Lead Poisoning
Think your children are protected from lead poisoning because you live in a newer home? Think again.
Although lead poisoning is often linked with the paint of older homes, children may be exposed to lead from water pipes or the soldering on pipes, and from brass and chrome-plated brass faucets, especially when hot water is used. In fact, lead may be found in many parts of a home, including soil, food, or even the air.
So how can you protect your children from lead poisoning, no matter where you live?
First, ask your family healthcare provider or pediatrician whether your child's blood needs testing. The younger the child, the greater the risk of lead poisoning. Children at risk of lead poisoning should be tested between 9 and 12 months, again at 24 months of age, and then as often as your healthcare provider recommends. Look carefully for signs of lead poisoning, including poor appetite, vomiting, constipation, crankiness, loss of energy, or sleeping, behavioral, or learning problems. The National Institute of Mental Health says that lead may put a child at higher risk for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
To prevent lead poisoning, don't allow your child to chew on anything covered with paint. Contact a professional if your home was built before 1978 to have the paint tested for lead or to remove lead paint from your home. Also, have your home's water tested for lead. Always let tap water run for a few moments before using it and cook with cold tap water only.
Encourage your children to wash their hands before meals. Serve them foods rich in iron and calcium. This can limit the amount of lead they soak up. Good choices include eggs, lean red meat, beans, and dairy products.

Since arriving in Detroit in November of 1997, I have fallen in love with what I believe is the greatest sports city in the United States.
Think about it, we have all four major sports, two major college sports programs and others that dip their toe in the water from time to time. On top of that, we have you. The sports fans in Detroit are second to none. My belief has always been that it is because of the deep roots you have in this community. Unlike other cities or states, people in Michigan are rooting for the same teams as their parents and grandparents. The emotions run deep and that's what sports are all about - emotion.
Before coming to Detroit, I was born, raised and worked in Washington, D.C. My family moved around the Nation's Capital before settling in Northern Virginia where I fell in love with sports. All sports. I grew up in one of those neighborhoods that I wish every kid could experience. We had 8 to 10 kids that lived on our block and we played basketball, football, baseball, whiffleball or anything else we could make up from sunrise to sunset.
My Dad wasn't a sports fan, but he fueled my love for it by taking me to all my games and practices. One of my great memories was a playoff basketball game I played in when I was 12. We were unbeaten but losing by one in the final seconds of the semifinals. For some reason, the coach designed the play to go to me instead of our best player. Well I made the shot after it bounced 36 times on the rim and fell at the buzzer, but what will always stick out was my Dad leading the charge onto the court with his arms wide open as he embraced me after the win. I wasn't even sure he knew how to keep score but he was on it that day. He would take me to Orioles games and Colts games and we had season tickets to the Redskins. Even after I moved to Detroit he would call me after Lions games to talk about what happened. Again, he wasn't a fan but he loved his son and that allowed me to follow my dream which landed me here. I lost my Dad in March of 08 but the gift he gave me was to cultivate my love of sports and it became my career. He was a smart guy and probably realized I had no other tangible skills. I miss him but owe him everything I am today.
I started in this business when I was 18. A good friend worked weekends for Mutual Radio in the sports department. They were hiring college kids to help put together their weekend sportscasts. I went in for the interview, they asked if I could edit audio tape, I lied and said yes and I was hired. I stayed there for 11 years. In 1992 I was hired at Sports Radio 570 in Washington to host their overnight talk show. That was a great experience but one that I'm glad only lasted three months. I was elevated (I guess it was a promotion) to Redskins beat reporter.
From there I hosted numerous shows on the station, learning along the way that talk radio is a grind. Fun, but a grind. In 1994 I was hired by the local Fox affiliate to help with their Redskins coverage, acting as a reporter on their Sunday morning pregame show. I do mean acting. I had no clue what I was doing but they got me through it and I guess nobody died.
I still continued with my talk show and began to do some anchoring for Fox as well. In 1995 I was hired by D.C's ABC affiliate to anchor their weekend sports reports. In August of 1997 I was contacted out of the blue by FOX in Detroit. Somebody had seen my tape and liked it. That process led to my being hired here and my family has found a home in the Motor City.
Since arriving, I've been incredibly blessed to do NFL games for 5 years for FOX and to serve as the radio voice of the Detroit Lions. Regardless of their record, I wouldn't trade that opportunity for anything. To all the people that have asked "how do you do it every week?" The answer is simple. It's an honor and a privilege to be in that booth every Sunday. It's the N-F-L. Records come and go, they move up and down, but opportunities like that don't come along very often.
I've got a great wife, four great kids, four cats and a dog that thinks you're supposed to go to the bathroom on the carpet. Add it all up and I always come back to this - I'm living a dream.

Scrapbook How To: Ink Ideas for Scrapbooking with Canvas
Scrapbook How To!
Canvas is a spectacular material for adding sturdy fabric texture to your scrapbook layouts—not only is it durable, its thick fibers soak up ink, which means you can add both texture and customized color to you layouts with minimal effort. Just take a look at the colored canvas banner strips on this scrapbook page:
Shopping in Chicago by Kim Jackson, as seen in the March/April 2012 issue of Creating Keepsakes, page 17.
Using five different color mediums, you can create a celebratory assortment of inked canvas accents for your page. Here's how to create each of the looks shown here.
|Ink Type
|How To
|Lightly spray your canvas multiple times using a shimmery spray ink, aiming the nozzle at the center of your canvas piece.
|Paint canvas with glitter paint using a wide paintbrush to ensure even coverage. Apply multiple coats for extra shimmer.
|Lay mask of your choice over your canvas strip and spray heavily with shimmery spray ink. Leave mask in place until spray ink has fully saturated the canvas and begun to dry.
|Heavily spray your canvas using chalkboard spray ink for a soft, matte finish and deep color.
|Stamp on canvas using dye ink and a background stamp of your choice. Pigment and chalk ink would also work well for this technique. If you use pigment ink, be aware that your canvas will need to dry before you can use it on a project.
|Achieve intense shimmer and gorgeous color by painting your canvas using a fine glitter paint, which has finer grit glitter than usually found in glitter paint. This medium works beautifully for creating metallic looks.
|Go bold with a heavy application of shimmery spray ink for vibrant color and a beautiful sheen. Spray canvas fully with spray ink, pressing down the pump fully with each spray. Saturate the canvas with ink, and allow it to dry.
Find more fun techniques for your scrapbooking in the March/April 2012 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine.

Cesare Attolini Executive
Best Sartorial advice from your parents?
My grand father and my father says always: ?The elegance is something that must be whispered and not shouted??
Style icons?
If in the past, men like Duke of Windsor, Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, the Kennedy or Giovanni Agnelli set the trands in matter of elegance. The trendsetters of today are the international designers and young actors and artists. Think about the architect Rem Koolhaas, or Jeremy Irons, mixed with the street rappers. Many of them are propositional toward a new and intelligent way of dressing that needs to be elaborated and customized in the details?and go on, the new dandy people like Manfredi Della Gherardesca or the young generation from good and noble family like Raphael Abascal Medina Duke of Feria who has attitude and elegance since they were born?or people from fashion system like Mario Sorrenti.
Describe your personal style

I feel best wearing?
A Cesare Attolini suit!
The first thing I look at in another Sartorialist?s outfit …
How they match the colors and the proportion of the items they are wearing.
I always break this fashion rule.
The birth of fashion stylist and designers in the 80s and 90s had totally changed the way of thinking: Fashion shows started to set the rules, men became more ?fashionist?. It?s not like that anymore. I seem to feel embarrassed in wearing fashion clothes; I claim my own role, reviving the value of men?s clothing embellished by personal researches, never banal nor ridiculous.
I don?t want to be fashionable; I want to be admired for my style?Sartorial and customized style!
Never caught wearing?
Short white socks!
Most underrated item in menswear/womenswear?
The socks!
Dress to impress who?
Shine your own shoes?
Not often!

Want to easily send webmentions from the command line, or from bash/python scripts? @vrypan made a neat little package to do just that: github.com/vrypan/webmention-tools
pip install webmentiontools
webmention-tools urlinfo http://waterpigs.co.uk/1000
webmention-tools send source target
Testing POSSE of issue comments to Github
Brennan Novak I generally don't like paying anything for APIs or apps :) I make exceptions for things like @pagekite which are both extremely useful and also thoroughly good.
@sandeepshetty @pfefferle cweiske Something new to consider: Jeremy Keith added a webmention sending form to his journal entries to help people who's websites don't support webmention already. Being able to test and use webmention through a human visible, interactable form is a huge benefit of using HTTP form encoded data.
We can make this an even stronger case by encouraging success and error responses to be full HTML documents with helpful copy.

cweiske @pfefferle demanding strictly ordered + laid out HTML makes things easier for consumers at the expense of publishers, which is a known anti-pattern. We should optimise for ease of publishing.
Also, many implementations are already parsing the target HTML for reply-contexts (e.g. Aaron Parecki (example), @jschweinsberg (example) and myself (example)), demonstrating that parsing HTML is not a significant barrier.
@benhowdle @trailedapp congrats on the launch! Great that you're encouraging people to own their comments. Have you come across indiewebcamp.com at all, especially the work we're doing on cross-site replying, webmentions and reply-contexts? E.G. this post is a reply on my own site to one of your tweets :)
Watch out for #python dict-based string interpolation examples which look like this:
'Hello, %(name)s' % {'name': 'Otter'}
s after the brackets isn't pluralising one adorable aquatic mammal into a whole bunch of them, it's actually part of the interpolation placeholder — the equivalent of
'Hello, %s' % 'Otter'
Note also that for some reason, python lets you put spaces between the closing bracket and the type signifying character. This can cause extremely weird bugs when the string being interpolated is also being translated. For example:
_('%(customer) shared a thing') % {'customer': 'Mr. Bean'}
If not translated, this will produce this confusing but fairly easy to debug output
'Mr. Beanhared a thing'
But if 'shared' is translated into a word beginning with, for example,
d, you'll just get an exception like
TypeError: A float is required

Share the Road is a highway safety program of the American Trucking Associations (ATA). Since 1986, the Share the Road program has been teaching the public how to share the road with large trucks. Million-mile accident free professional truck drivers deliver specific life-saving safety tips to the public, the media, and our public officials through television, radio, the web and in print. News conferences are held where cars and trucks are set up in simulated highway lanes that show the common ways in which accidents happen out on the road. The program's goal is to reach as many people as possible and change driving behavior so that we can save lives.
Media and community events are held across the country, including state capitols, motorcycle and RV events, auto shows, at truck driving championships, high schools and middle schools, and in congested cities. The Share the Road tractor-trailer serves as the centerpiece for all safety and media events, and is certainly an attraction while traveling the highways. Mack Trucks generously provides a dedicated tractor to the Share the Road program. The Share the Road program works with various highway safety partners, the state trucking associations, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and industry partners.
With sponsorship from Mack Trucks and a number of supporters, ATA is able to continue this highly effective highway safety program.

I've never cracked overblow's - I can comfortably get every draw and blow bend - I understand the theory and I've got the odd overblow out of a harp.
How many people out there are playing with overblows?
I've read stuff regarding which harps overblow better - I do wonder if it has more to do with how well the harp is setup than the the harp you buy?
I did read a review of the newest very expensive Hohner that claimed it was easier to overblow out of the box?
For those guy's that are routinely using overblow's - is it something you'd strongly recommend persuing? In reality would I better in concentrating my time in becoming a better blues harpist with just the bends?
I'm not sure how many of the greats use overblow's - Sonny Boy 1 and 2 / Little Walter I can't hear overblowing in these guy's playing - I'm I just missing it because I don't know what I'm listening for?

SVAY RIENG PROVINCE, Cambodia, June 3 (UPI) -- Instead of being happy to see a Cambodian man who had been missing for five days, his relatives and acquaintances were frightened when he finally showed up – because they were at his funeral.
Mourners at the funeral of Kong Channeang started running away when he appeared during twilight on Sunday evening, just before his cremation was about to start.
"All of us were scared and ran away immediately. We thought that we were being haunted, since it was a little bit dark at 6:30 pm when he showed up at the funeral," Orn Song, the chief of Svay Chek commune, told the Phnom Penh Post.
Channeang suffers from a hereditary mental illness and his family assumed he was dead after he went missing and a decomposing body was spotted floating in a river.
When the 32-year-old appeared, Channeang's 63-year-old father Kong Vanny said that he ran to his son while everyone else was running away.
"When I heard him call me, I just went to him and grabbed his hand," Vanny said. "I realized that he was not a ghost and I told the villagers and authorities to return to the funeral and to not be afraid of him because he was actually alive."
The body that was thought to be Channeang was returned to authorities and buried.

W3 Total Cache and CDN Sync Tool (w/ WP Super Cache) are two plugins that do a pretty good job of integrating various Content Delivery Networks (CDN's) — including Amazon S3 / CloudFront, CloudFiles, and MaxCDN (among others) — with WordPress.
But I am looking for a plugin (free or paid) that integrates Google Storage (not to be confused with Google Drive or others — see pricing) with WordPress, and so far, could find none.
Has any come across a plugin that does this, by chance?

Hope crowned four NCAA All-Americans at the Division III Track & Field Championships held May 24-26 in Oshkosh, Wisc.
Four track and field All-Americans in one season is a new Hope standard.
In the final standings, the Flying Dutch finished 21st (11.5 points) in the field of 67 women's team while the Flying Dutchmen were 42nd (5 points) among 71 men's teams. The women's finish was the best in school history.
Senior Ryan TerLouw of Pella, Ia. finished fourth in the 1,500-meter run to achieve All-America honors for a third consecutive year. The race was won by Will Leer of Pomona-Pitzer, Calif. in 3:53.13. TerLouw was timed in 3:55.77. A senior from Pella, Iowa (Pella HS), TerLouw is the first Hope male athlete to gain All-America honors three times in the same event. He finished 7th as a sophomore and was 5th a year ago. Hope athletes have excelled at nationals in the 1,500. In addition to TerLouw's trifecta, Jeff Weber was seventh in 2004 (3:53.10) and Rick Bruggers was eighth in 1968 (3:56.2)
Senior Jennifer VanderMeer of Holland, Mich. (Holland HS) became the first Hope athlete to be an NCAA Track & Field All-American four consecutive years as she finished fifth in the pole vault. And for the fourth consecutive year her height was 12 feet, 2 1/2 inches. The event was won by Meghan Voiland of Augustana, Ill. who cleared 12 feet, 10 1/4 inches. VanderMeer placed second as both a freshman and sophomore and was sixth a year ago.
Junior Lindsay Lange of Manistee, Mich. (Manistee HS) finished fourth in the rigorous seven-event heptathlon to achieve All-America honors in the event for the second year in-a-row. Leading the 18 competitors was Christian Acquaviva of SUNY-Cortland with 5,189 points. Lange finished with a school-record 4,930 points. A year ago Lange was third at nationals with 4,790 points. Lange's performances were: 100 meter hurdles, 2nd place (:14.29); high jump, 11th place (5-0 1/4); shotput, 3rd place, (39-11 1/2); 200 meter dash, 2nd place (:25.06); long jump, 15th place (15-9 3/4); javelin, 13th place (101-11) and 800 meter run, 5th place (2:23.72). Lange has now scored at nationals for three straight years. As a freshman she finished seventh in the 400-meter dash. Lange also competed in the 100-meter hurdle event, but did not advance to Saturday's finals.
Sophomore Christina Lis of Novi, Mich. (Novi HS) achieved All-America honors by tying for sixth place in the high jump. Appearing at nationals for the first time, Lis cleared 5 feet, 4 1/2 inches. Seeded 10th in the field, Lis did not miss an attempt until her final height. The event was won by Jillian Crandall of UW-River Falls at 5 feet, 7 inches.
All four athletes have been named All-Americans by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia - who we already know takes his video games seriously - has a very special, one-of-a-kind PlayStation 3. And it's one that speaks directly to my tastes.
It's wood-panelled! Pimped out like an old Telstar Classic. Sony made the console for Sabathia and emblazoned it with his number, a crown and some (fake?) rubies. Which all seems a bit much, really! The wood-panelling is so damn sweet it should have been left to just soak up all the attention on its own.

All-City Cloak of Invincibility
The All-City Cloak of Invincibility is the perfect lightweight jacket for daily use. While it can handle a light rain, it's the breathability that really stands out, allowing the wearer to ride hard without trapping too much heat. In classic black, the jacket has been deemed "unisexy" by the members of the All-City staff. It features a hood that won't blow off your head, pull tabs on the zippers, and some clever stretchy darting on the cuffs and hood. The arm length is cut for a riding position, and the fabric doesn't make noise in the wind or when you move.
- This jacket does not make you invincible
- Premium Eschler fabric: 2-way stretch, breathable, wind-repellent, water-repellent finish
- Packs into rear pocket, becomes superb camping pillow
- Features: hood, back pocket

After a sluggish first half in temperatures hovering around 90 degrees the Glenwood girls soccer team really heated up in the first two minutes of the second half with a pair of goals that has the Rams back in the state soccer tournament for the third straight season.
No. 3 ranked Glenwood got goals from Michaela Moore in the 41st minute and from Makenzie Evans a minute later in a 3-0 victory over No. 15 ranked Nodaway Valley in the Class 2A, Region 4 finals on Monday.

Jeff Howard the pony-tailed instructor in the BOOST series of videos, a major input on the AIRUSH kites and owner of his own shop in Texas ...has come up with an inexpensive board in two sizes: 120 and 130.
At 85kg, I got the 130 and my first impression was not good. First thing - I went out in light condtions and I kept pearling the nose as the kite lost power. The UG Wave Tray I broke was longer at 147 and had those great flip-tips that always looked for daylight.My second session was much better, as there was enough wind to stay fullly powered most of the time.
This time it was like kiting in Vainilla icecream - SMOOTH. In short chop there was no chatter or that skatey feeling. The WT had zero rocker between the feet, whereas the Criminal has a constant rocker throughout. Even tho' there's not much flip to the tips, I didn't have a problem when I had enough kite to edge against. The rails of this board are very soft vs. the WT - and it could be that I've only had it for a couple of hours - but, I felt the WT made for better transitions as my memory thinks there was finer edge control coming around...
There's one thing I'll stomp and praise both - the footpad/strap setup. The footpads are really comfy like the NICE one's, but there's a design flaw in the strap.
The straps have a lot of adjustment, but it's mostly useful one-way: closed. When you open the strap the inside neoprene covering stretches to accomidate your request, but pulls the strap back down as soon as you release. Where this becomes a problem hit me when I went out in booties in cold water - I simply could not get my feet in. The footpad has a lot of grabby texture and was fighting the sticky bootie soles. A disaster! I hated the board in 30seconds. The workaround was to simply stop, lay back in the water and fight your way into the straps.
I somewhat solved the problem by placing a section of foam under the strap to jam it open. So, yesterday, in bare feet, I hardly noticed?! That is - except how comfortable my feet were. Still, I don't think it a good setup for that shallow-water 'hop-on' start.
This board will not win a beauty contest in a kiteshop with all those over-decorated alternatives, and the visible screws are pretty industrial, but I trust Jeff Howard know's what works for the average kiter, as he's see everything from the first days of kiting. It needs to have a handle however...
The part that excites me is that I can hack this board easily. I'll make a winter strap setup this weekend, add a handle and strip the black printing and repaint it soon.
You can find these at: prokitesurf.com ...blowinginthewind.com (Price is actually like $320USD) ...and I'll add more comments as I get more time on it.

Here's another fun Pinterest one that has been floating around. It's really simple and has a beautiful look:
I have to admit that I LOVE this with the blonde highlights in this girl's hair!
Start the style by sectioning the hair out into 3 horizontal sections and secure each section with an elastic. *You can choose to leave some hair out like in the example which you can curl for a more formal look.
Now take each of your three ponytails and create a 3-Strand Braid out of them - securing each of your braids with an elastic at the bottom. Starting with your top braid, wrap it around it's elastic so that you form a bun and then secure the ends of your braid with bobby pins by tucking them underneath he bun.
The length of your princess's hair will determine the size of your bun. If she has shorter hair, you can keep your braids looser to give the bun a more full look. Add a flower to the side as an accent if you like and the hairstyle is complete!

Obtaining a Replacement License
Why Get a Replacement License?
If your driver's license or learner's permit is lost, stolen, damaged, or mutilated, you will need to obtain a replacement. You may also choose to replace your driver's license to change your address, change organ donor status, update the photograph on your license or learner's permit, or replace your Social Security Number with a DMV-assigned customer number.
If the expiration date on your license is less than one year away, you may choose to renew your driver's license instead of replacing it.
Removing the Vision Restriction
If you must wear glasses or contact lenses when you drive, your driver's license will show a vision restriction. To have the vision restriction removed after having LASIK surgery to correct your vision, you must either:
- Visit a DMV customer service center and obtain a replacement license. You will be required to pass the vision screening without wearing glasses or contact lenses, OR
Submit the following by mail:
- A completed Driver's License and Identification Card Application (DL1P)
- A Vision Screening Report (MED 4) that has been signed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist within the last 3 months. The MED 4 must indicate that you meet the minimum visual requirements without wearing glasses or contact lenses.
- A $20 payment for the replacement license
Mail these items to:
- Department of Motor Vehicles
- Driver's License and ID Card Work Center
- P. O. Box 27412
- Richmond, VA 23269-0001
DMV will process your request and send you a replacement license by mail with the vision restriction removed.
Replacement Fee
The cost to obtain a replacement license is $20.
Obtaining a Replacement License Online
You may obtain a replacement driver's license online and save $1 UNLESS:
- Your license is expired, cancelled, suspended, or revoked.

Obtaining a Replacement License at a Customer Service Center
To obtain a replacement driver's license or learner's permit at one of our customer service centers, you must :
- Complete the application for a driver's license (DL1P). You may complete the form before or after coming to a DMV office. For your convenience, you may also apply to register to vote, change your voter registration address, or notify DMV of a change of address or name when you complete the application form.
- Present two identification documents; however, only one primary identification document is required if you are under age 19. For more information on identification requirements, refer to "Acceptable Documents for Obtaining a Driver's License or Photo ID Card" (DMV 141). .
Present one proof of legal presence unless you have previously proven
legal presence and it has not expired. The legal presence requirements are:
- You must present proof of legal presence in person.
- If your learner's permit was issued prior to 01/01/04, you are "grandfathered" and do not need to prove legal presence when obtaining your original driver's license.
- If you are replacing a valid, unexpired license issued prior to 01/01/04, you are "grandfathered" and do not need to prove legal presence.
- If you are replacing your license that has been suspended or cancelled and your record does not already indicate that legal presence has been proven (and the limited duration time has not expired), you must prove legal presence.
- If you are replacing your license that is revoked or expired for as little as one day, you must prove legal presence.
- If you are authorized to be in the U.S. temporarily and have been issued a limited duration driver's license, the license cannot be replaced. A subsequent license will be processed as an original, and proof of legal presence is required. You will not be eligible to receive a limited duration ID card, or permit if your authorized stay in the U.S. is less than 30 days from the date of your application.
- If you present a valid legal presence document without its required expiration date, you will be issued a limited duration license that is valid for one year. This does not apply to a U.S. birth document since it does not contain an expiration date.
A new photo will be required.
If you currently hold both a driver's license and a photo ID, you will be required to surrender your photo ID card before you can receive a replacement license.

I know how to mitre the corners of a quilt (by folding up binding to 45 degree angle, quarter of an inch from the end then sewing at top of next side) and they work out OK. However I've just made a table runner and the angle is wider than the standard 90 degree corner.
How do I know how much fabric to leave unsewn in order for the mitre to lie neatly when I fold it over to hand sew? Is it more than I would usually fold, or less?

Archarcharch and Nehro, who were separated by a neck in the Arkansas Derby, and narrow Toyota Blue Grass winner Brilliant Speed earned their way in the prospective Kentucky Derby 137 field Saturday.
Archarcharch, who began the week at No. 25, jumped to No. 3 on the Kentucky Derby 137 Graded Stakes Earnings List after the $600,000 Arkansas Derby first prize jumped his graded stakes earnings to $780,000. The list will likely determine the field for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands on Saturday, May 7 at Churchill Downs. Runner-up Nehro doubled his earnings to $400,000 and went from No. 22 to No. 13.
In the Blue Grass, Brilliant Speed hung a nose on Twinspired and earned $450,000, which ranked No. 10. The second-place check of $150,000 pushed Twinspired's bankroll to $197,500 and put him on the outside looking in at No. 24. Both horses needed to win to crack the Top 20, and Twinspired will need defections, which could happen.
Here's the official Kentucky Derby 137 Graded Stakes Earnings Top 30 through Saturday, April 16 (with last week's ranking on the Graded Stakes Earnings List plus graded stakes earnings, the trainer of the horse and the next race and/or travel updates):

31. (30.) Ruler On Ice, $96,000, Kelly Breen (April 30 The Cliff's Edge Derby Trial)
After a string of stunning upsets in major preps (note: the average winning payoff for the four Grade I Kentucky Derby preps was $35.45), it appears that Florida Derby champ Dialed In will inherit the role as the Derby favorite. Others that figure to receive support from the betting public include winter book favorite Uncle Mo, Risen Star winner and Louisiana Derby third Mucho Macho Man, Archarcharch, Nehro, Fountain of Youth champ and Florida Derby fifth Soldat, Santa Anita Derby winner Midnight Interlude and Wood Memorial victor Toby's Corner.
The status of several horses remains in a state of flux:
- Top-ranked Uncle Mo (gastrointestinal infection), No. 18 The Factor (flipped palate) and No. 20 Jaycito (bruised foot) are recovering from recent setbacks, with the latter possibly contesting Saturday's Grade III, $200,000 Coolmore Lexington at Keeneland.
- The connections for No. 4 Comma to the Top suggested that the gelding would bypass the Kentucky Derby in advance of the Santa Anita Derby, but are now considering the race after he finished a close second.
- The status of No. 8 J P's Gusto remains unclear after back-to-back disappointing efforts at Oaklawn Park. He is booked on an Arkansas-to-Kentucky charter flight Tuesday, but the plane reservation notes that he will then be vanned to New York. On Tuesday morning, trainer Joe Petalino said the colt could go to an area farm until owner Dr. John Waken makes his final decision about the Derby, which he expected to come sometime between Thursday and Sunday. "He's still in the mix," said Petalino, who reported that the ridgling would likely go to East Coast-based trainer Mike Hushion following the Derby.
- Ireland-based No. 11 Master of Hounds, who was under consideration for the Qipco English 2000 Guineas on Kentucky Derby Day, now appears on course for the Derby as travel plans appear firm with his arrival scheduled for approximately 11 a.m. on Tuesday of Kentucky Derby Week (May 3).
- Plans for No. 16 Animal Kingdom, who has raced exclusively on turf and synthetic surfaces, won't be finalized until the colt has a workout over Churchill Downs' dirt oval Saturday.
- It was announced Monday that Astrology, who would be ranked No. 17 with $281,893, would contest Saturday's Grade II, $150,000 Jerome at Aqueduct and, in all likeliness, bypass the Kentucky Derby. "We feel that running him in the Kentucky Derby off one prep race is too much to ask of him at this point," trainer Steve Asmussen said in a news release. The colt departed for New York on Monday night, and he was removed from the list of possible contenders.
- No. 20 Santiva finished ninth in the Blue Grass as the 2-1 favorite but is considered "possible" for the Derby if he makes the field.
- There's been no word from the camp of No. 21 Watch Me Go about next-race plans following his distant sixth in the TVG Illinois Derby. After the race, trainer Kathleen O'Connell suggested the colt may not have liked the Hawthorne surface. He was made a late Triple Crown nominee after winning the Tampa Bay Derby.
- Silver Medallion, who begins the week at No. 24 with $184,334, will attempt to crack the Top 20 in Saturday's Lexington. The 1 1/16-mile race over Polytrack features a $120,000 first prize, which would jump him to No. 16. A runner-up effort, worth $40,000, would only move him up two spots ahead of No. 22 Shackleford and No. 23 Twinspired, whose connections desire to make the field.
- No. 25 Anthony's Cross, No. 26 Brethren, No. 27 Mr. Commons, No. 28 Sway Away and others appear to need several defections within the next two weeks to make the field.
Outside of Astrology, Jaycito and Silver Medallion, it does not appear that this weekend's races – the Lexington and Jerome – can produce any other Kentucky Derby 137 starters.
The final chance for those on the outside looking in to accrue coveted graded stakes money will come Opening Night at Churchill Downs under the lights in the Grade III, $200,000-added The Cliff's Edge Derby Trial. The one-turn mile race, which will feature a first prize in excess of $124,000, will be run as Race 8 in prime time at 9:39 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 30 – one week in advance of the Kentucky Derby.
The $2 million guaranteed Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (Grade I) has been restricted to 20 starters since 1975. Graded stakes earnings accumulated in races on the "Road to the Kentucky Derby" have determined the field for the 1 ¼-mile classic since 1986.
The Kentucky Derby 137 Graded Stakes Earnings List only includes active 3-year-olds that were made eligible to the Triple Crown. Also, their connections have suggested that they're considering a run in the 1 ¼-mile classic.
Twenty horses have entered the Derby every year since 2004, and 10 of the last 12 years. The 20th and final spot in the starting gate – a.k.a. "the bubble" horse – has varied year to year. Last year, it took a record $218,750 for eventual fourth-place finisher Make Music for Me to make the field. In 2009, it took only $55,500 for Nowhere to Hide to complete the 20-horse lineup. Over the last five years, the final horse to make the field has earned an average of $130,450 in graded stakes races.
