Previously in this space, we have expressed our awe and wonderment at the ability of Tayt Brooks, International Man of Mystery, to hold onto his position as Rasputin to Czarina Lenore Broughton, absolute ruler of the Imaginary Kingdom of Ethanallenistan (the free-market, libertarian haven known in reality as Vermont), After all, the Tayter squandered a million or so Broughton Bucks in a fruitless attempt to elevate Wendy Wilton to the Treasurership and elect a few more Republicans to the Legislature. Anyone with that kind of track record should rightfully find himself quickly unemployed, his golden parachute-pack stuffed with assorted dirty laundry.
But despite all logic, he still has a job. And since Miss Daisy is rather unlikely to follow my advice, I direct her to those other would-be purchasers of democracy, the Koch Brothers. They know what to do when an investment goes south:
Take the billionaire businessmen Charles and David Koch who are spending their 2013 figuring out why they the money they spent in 2012 was such a waste. They have already fired most of their 100 staffers at Americans for Prosperity, and they're now conducting an audit.
Yeah! Away with you, incompetent flunkies! You waste the Koch Brothers' money, you hit the bricks pronto.
Of course, when you're talking about egotistical gazillionaires, the self-examination can only go so far:
The Kochs have delayed their twice-a-year meetings with big conservative donors until they've finished their audit, Politico's Kenneth P. Vogel reports. The results of the audit will be presented at an April seminar, Vogel writes, adding, "Early indications suggest that they'll continue playing in politics but will tweak their approach to reflect 2012 lessons."
"Tweak," eh? That's the ticket. Make a multi-million dollar bet, come up snake-eyes, and then "tweak" your approach. Y'know, firing the staffers and then "tweaking" the approach is a lot like the captain of the Titanic firing the deck chairs.
In fact, the Kochs are just as clueless as Lenore Broughton; they're just meaner to their employees. And their "tweaking" isn't going to suddenly add wisdom to a political operation that has more to do with the extreme self-regard of two spoiled rich kids than with any connection to reality. (Pictured at right: the gold coin David Koch minted in honor of his 1980 candidacy for Vice President on the Libertarian ticket. I kid you not.)
The Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity has drawn particular grumbling for ads whose goal, critics say, is more about ideology than victory in November, its daily message determined, one rival SuperPAC operative jabbed, by "whatever the Koch brothers had for breakfast."
… "These fat cats are never politically informed. A good percentage of them are very politically naive – politics are not their thing," said Richard Born, a professor of political science at Vassar College, who cited the growing sophistication of political consultants at separating donors from their money.
Hey! Finally, a kind appellation for Tayt Brooks! He may be a complete political hack with no clue about winning, but he's obviously sophisticated "at separating donors from their money."

I'm signing off until the new year, but just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I hope you have a lovely holiday.
I'm signing off until the new year, but just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I hope you have a lovely holiday.
Remember that cute purse I made for my niece a few months ago? Well, I slightly modified that concept and made a knit pouch for a little girl named Sarah, and I can't wait to give it to her! Sarah is in second grade at a school back in Tulsa, and I enjoyed visiting her every week to mentor her.
The kids at this school are so precious, but they don't have a lot (some don't even have heat in the winter). My church recently did a gift drive for these kids and they all were given a Christmas present to enjoy. I really look forward to taking a trip back home this week to give her this gift and love on her.
To let you know briefly how I made it: I used a knit stitch throughout and sewed some fabric on the underside to line it. Then I put on a snap closure. Then I turned it inside out and hand-sewed the sides. I finished it with a mini fabric flower and a cute heart button.
And of course I'm stuffing it with little goodies!
So friends, as the holiday approaches, be mindful of someone you might be able to give some love and cheer to that really needs it most.
I'm really excited to share this little online curation of submitted art, products and photography to inspire your holiday season. Thank you so much to everyone that participated! Enjoy!

I would love to make an advent calendar by the time next Christmas rolls around. My baby will be two by then, and old enough to enjoy it. So, I've been on a search looking out for what I like! I really love the idea of having a special surprise, message, task, or bible reading for each day.

Oh how I love accessories! They can make any dull outfit brighter, cuter, and more interesting. Here are some of my favorites I've come across this season.
Beautiful handmade headbands from Taza (found via SeeSaw Designs). I'm also a fan of her coat that's seen in all her photos and awesome red lipstick!
These are creations from Ink and Button, a new store on etsy that's had instant success. You can see why! (Found via paper n stitch.)
I've been following Rachel from Heart of Light for a while, so when she opened an etsy store in September, I was thrilled! Her stuff is definitely on my wish list. By the way, in only 3 short months, she's had almost 400 sales. Wow!
I found this great tutorial on how to make your own large fabric flower on My Mama Made It. Sooo pretty!
Finally, I just had to share this amazing tutorial on how to make fancy velvet headbands from A Field Journal. They are just gorgeous!
So that was a few of my favs. What accessories are you really into this season?
Hi Friends! I realize that it's been a MONTH since I posted last, so I just wanted to let you know that we are still alive, we made it to OKC, and we survived the tough move here. My goal is to post a few times this week, mostly with some things that have been inspiring me lately.
The pregnancy is moving along, (12 weeks now) but this one has been so much harder than the first, leaving me very little time to unpack, let alone blog. This is the last week of my first trimester, so fingers crossed hoping it gets better from here!
I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and that you are having fun gearing up for Christmas! It's hitting me that the holiday is just around the corner so I'm grabbing time whenever I can to work on Christmas gifts.
I'll see you again here real soon, love to you all!
My baby officially turned one year old today. I reflected a lot on all the memories from this time last year. Hearing his cries for the first time, letting those little fingers clasp on to mine, meeting perfection in the form of an 8 pound, 1 ounce little boy. What a joyous year its been!
This is a little shirt I made for him using fabric paint applied with a sponge roller and freezer paper as my stencil. He wore it around all day today. So cute. Happy Birthday littlest E! I love you.
My list of things I want to make is growing, growing, growing. I've had to take somewhat of a break in the creative department though. I've been busy packing for our move to OKC, scoping out places to live, spending time with my husband who has been in and out of town a lot, and BEING PREGNANT! Yep, I'm six weeks along and I've got all the symptoms. In the meantime, I'm bookmarking my favorite projects to do as soon as stuff settles down.
Hexagon Shirt // Felt Cases // Arm Warmers // Embroidered Clock (maybe for the new baby's room?) // Stenciled Pumpkins

The editors of Runner's World, the foremost authorities on running on the planet, have collected the best information about weight loss on the run, answering questions such as: What are the 8 Golden Rules of Weight Loss?

Vehicle2007 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewI really like the way the outside of the car has been styled and when I got in i quickly fell in love with the way the car was put together. I like how the dash wraps around the driver making all of the controls easily accessible. the standard features of the car are awesome; moon/sunroof, power windows and locks, stereo controls on the steering wheel, and alloy wheels.
Best FeaturesI like how the car comes standard with so many features, yet there are a lot of upgrades and other things that you can do to the car, even from TRD if you wanted to go down that road. I also still love the interior and exterior style. It has a lot of motor and design, and "bang for the buck" over all.
Worst FeaturesI would like if they constructed the interior a little stronger and use a different material on the seats. It holds a large amount of dust. I wish the sound system would go a little louder, it isn't very strong. I also wish they would've to us a little stronger clear coat to protect the nice paint.

I realized today that there's a lot of people who use Gimp, but don't really know the history of it, nor even care, but if you're a Gimp freak like me, and absolutely love the software, and wanna know the history about it, or simply just wanna findout some stuff about it. Then here's 12 Things You May not Know About Gimp.
12: GIMP was originally created for UNIX systems.
10: Gimp's development originally started in 1995, but it's first public release (v0.54) was in January of 1996.
9: Gimp's acronym originally stood for "General Image Manipulation Program" until it became part of the GNU Project in 1997 changing the acronym from "General Image Manipulation Program" into "GNU Image Manipulation Program".

Even if it was tied solely to Protection, it would basically be an active version of the mastery, but with an increase to ShotR's damage instead of WoG's healing. We don't need another active CD. Not to mention it would put Prot's on-demand damage reduction above and beyond what the other tanks have available.
There's really no reason for it, other than "hey, we made a D2 ability in WoW!", and that's not good game design at all.

An Ohio family discovered last week someone had hacked into its baby monitor's camera.
Heather Schreck discovered the hack when she picked up her phone to check the Wi-Fi-connected camera and noticed it was moving without her control.
"I also heard a voice again start screaming at my daughter," she said. "He was screaming, 'Wake up baby, wake up baby,' and then just a long 'aaahhhhhh' screaming at her."
"You're basically letting strangers come into your household," said husband Adam Schreck. "One, you don't know who they are, two, you don't know where they are, and three, you don't know what they're doing with that information they got from the webcam or any devices that they have access to.
"You do feel violated in a way," he said.
Former Honolulu police detective and Internet security expert Chris Duque said this could happen to anyone, including families here in Hawaii. He said once criminals have control of your router, they also have access to whatever it's connected to, like your computer or cell phone.
"Number one thing that I tell people is, you get any kind of electronic device, especially devices that connect to the Internet, read the manual," Duque said.
Also, make sure you change the default password and user name on your router, as well as on your wireless device.
"There's nothing wrong with the technology," Duque said. "It's just that there are people out there who are going to use the technology that we use to protect ourselves and our families. They'll turn it around and use it to victimize us."
It's a scary reality that he says can quickly spiral out of control if you don't take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your family.

Arch Digest Show 2007: BDDW & Desu Design
New leather faced sideboard with spindle feet against Harroll rug
In terms of sheer, brute creativity, the prize goes again to BDDW for blowing out their booth and crossing their stylish furniture with an almost art school experimental feeling. While ridiculously expensive, these pieces are probably worth every penny. Our fave was the scuffed leather sideboard with the spindle feet. More pics below...
Desu Design hails from Los Angeles and does lovely small metalwork pieces that kill the niche. Their 1 Line Spice Rack and Symbol Coat rack proved to be even nicer in person than we'd seen in pictures. Both designs are available from their website. More pics below...

Next story: Christmas in November
Fred's Requiem
by Anthony Chase
A small-town grocer named Fred dies, inspiring a string of conversations leading up to his disorderly funeral and one final confrontation between his estranged and embittered widow, and his unloved and unloving son. That's the plot of Matthew LaChiusa's new play, Fred's Requiem, now playing at American Repertory Theater of WNY's Buffalo East space on Main Street.
The play is a delightful series of exquisitely crafted conversations between carefully wrought characters. LaChiusa guides us into a world where David Mamet meets Tracy Letts in a veritable "La Ronde" of family dysfunction—which is a compact way of saying that idiosyncratic family members (reminiscent of Tracy Letts, author of August: Osage County, which also features a funeral, and Superior Donuts, now getting a handsome outing with an excellent cast at Road Less Traveled theater) engage in deftly direct yet subtle language (for which David Mamet is known) in a narrative that travels, scene by scene, through the interrelationships of the characters (as Arthur Schnitzler did in his 1900 Viennese tale of linking sexual interludes, La Ronde).
The added "Matthew LaChiusa" touch is the playwright's fascination with local histories, which he has previously showcased in plays like Axeman's Jazz and Red Clay. Here, LaChiusa has directed a talented cast of mixed experience, headed by Joy Scime as the irascible widow and Todd Fuller as her beleaguered son.
To appreciate the play, one needs to listen to the script and admire the way the words take us through the turns of jealousy, loyalty, aspirations, and loss. The setting is a grape-farming community south of Buffalo, where small town ethics make for overblown drama. Anybody who ever said that big cities are alienating has never lived in a small town like this, where folks not only feel entitled to know your business but to be part of it, and where your lifelong enemies are expected to show up at your funeral, and probably drink beer.
In addition to Fuller, and Scime, who is marvelously engaging in her beautifully modulated performance as the horrible matriarch, the cast features Scot Kaitanowski, Alexa Kopty, Adam Yellen, David Nuijens, Patrick Caughill, Bob Bozek, Leo DiBello, Kate Germain, Jocelyn Hanson, and Michael E. Nowicki. The company expresses words clearly and confidently, and while many lack experience, they give the script an able and secure rendering.
The production is modest and unpretentious, but it is clear that something important is brewing at Buffalo East, as LaChiusa cultivates a company to perform his work. Moreover, it is thrilling to hear such a strong script with its roots so firmly embedded in our own region. LaChiusa's insights exceed the typical litany of familiar place names, to pierce the heart of what gives Western New York the sense of being a distinct and unique place.
Performances continue through December 3 at Buffalo East (1410 Main Street).

We are thrilled to revisit Toronto and offer another day of modern architecture exploration to our friends in this unique architectural community to our north.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) May 19, 2014
Modern Home Tours, LLC, is making a return visit to Ontario in June. The 2014 Toronto Modern Home Tour will give residents another opportunity to peek inside some of their city's most amazing modern homes, designed by local architects. The self-guided tour acts as a city-wide gallery of local residential architecture, giving designers a rare and unique chance to show their impressive work to the public.
So far, five homes have been accepted and confirmed for the tour, and there are more in the application process. The final line-up will consist of five to eight architecturally progressive and contemporary homes that exemplify modern living in and around the Toronto area, including:
- Artist Charles Pachter's home, studio, and galleries --Pachter Hall and Moose Factory-- in Toronto's Chinatown district. The home and studio buildings were designed by Teeple Architects and built in 2005, and have won the Ontario Association of Architects Award of Excellence, a Plachta Award, and the Design Exchange Award.
- The "Driveway House," designed by Spaces by Rohan, which is a small home in Little Portugal built entirely in a space that was previously a driveway for two cars that features radiant floors, interior walls of glass, roof-top cedar deck/patio, and 95% LED-based lighting inside.
- A new three-story, single-family house, designed by Weiss Architecture & Urbanism Limited and built on a typical long and narrow Victorian lot near Dovercourt Park, that presents a solid and stately front façade utilizing traditional Toronto red masonry, but impresses visitors with its surprisingly light and airy interior.
- A modern renovation and addition, by LineBox Studio, to an existing residence in Swansea originally built in the 1920's that focuses on maintaining a balance between old and new, while adopting a green building design in sustainable matter
- One of Toronto's "Tiny Town" mini-homes (just 566 sq. ft.), designed by LineBox Studio, that embodies a "hard loft" style with an industrial aesthetic and flexible floor plan, which creates an open and spacious feel in the home, despite the small footprint.
In addition to the homes featured on the tour, attendees can visit the tour's designated 'rest stop': the STACKLAB showroom, a Toronto-based multidisciplinary design and fabrication studio, led by Jeff Forrest. Complimentary refreshments will be served and tourgoers can browse some astounding examples of modern furniture.
Art City in St. James Town has joined the tour as the local non-profit partner. They will help staff the event and use the tour as a fundraising vehicle.
Modern Home Tours founder, James Leasure, says the excitement to return to Toronto is great: "Toronto is one of the most vibrant and progressive cities in the Americas; it was a great choice for our first international tour in 2013. We are thrilled to revisit Toronto and offer another day of modern architecture exploration to our friends in this unique architectural community to our north."
Architecture expert and Modern Home Tour consultant, Ingrid Spencer, adds: "Toronto rivals Montreal as Canada's cultural capital, and a strong economy and growing population has brought a real renaissance to the city's residential architecture. Creative modern architects are teaming with forward-thinking clients to build houses that take residential architecture and green living to the next level. It was a lot of fun to witness last year, and we are expecting another full palatte of modern design to ingest on this year's tour."
Participating homes on the 2014 Toronto Modern Home Tour will open their doors for viewing from 11 p.m.– 5 p.m., Saturday, June 7th.

Art major's work selected for national graduate student art exhibition
Alfred University graduate student Colleen Keough has been selected to display her artwork at the Aegis First Biennial Graduate Student Art Exhibit at the Hite Art Institute, University of Louisville.
Keough is a first-year graduate student in the School of Art & Design majoring in electronic integrated arts. She is from Methuen, MA.
Keough's work is a single-channel video piece titled "Aggwessive," which can be viewed at her Web site — www.colleenkeough.com .
The theme for the Aegis exhibit comes from a collection of essays by artist Mary Kelly, also entitled Imaging Desire. Kelly tells of how desire has influenced the art and art history over the last four decades. Three students with work in the exhibit will be rewarded with The Aegis Award of Artistic Excellence, along with $100; winners are selected by a committee of fine arts faculty.
The Graduate Student Association of the Hite Art Institute, as well as the Commonwealth Center for the Humanities and Society, invited submissions of work from students who are currently enrolled in a graduate program.

This week's photo is of ruins at Sabratha, Libya, originally founded by the Phoenicians around 500 BC and later a Roman city. It's a World Heritage Site, and in the recent civil war Sabratha was captured and re-captured a couple of times. In the modern world there's a big divide between Europe on the north of the Mediterranean and Africa on the south. The Roman view would have been vastly different, with the major cities of the Empire being on the shores of Mediterranean and the further reaches of Europe to the north of Italy being awful places where the savages lived.
[yt video=owLSIfVQzgc]A Visit to Sabrata[/yt]
The city was re-taken by anti-Gaddafi forces in August. The speed of protection for the sites is therefore astonishing. This photo was taken on the 6th of September. Elsewhere in Libya the fight continues.

2010: A UW recruiting odyssey
Sarkisian, staff 'get serious' about courting state's top talent
Updated 10:00 pm, Friday, February 27, 2009
A handful of the state's top underclassmen lounged around the Huskies football office during a recruiting visit a couple of weeks ago. They laughed with coach Steve Sarkisian, enjoyed rapid-fire banter with defensive coordinator Nick Holt and connected with a handful of other assistants.
"The first thing I thought about them was, 'Wow, these guys know how to have fun,' " O'Dea High fullback Zach Fogerson said of that visit.
"But they know when it's time to get serious, too."
Fogerson said he knew Sarkisian was serious when he made eye contact, fixing a stare on Skyline quarterback Jake Heaps and holding the gaze of Lakes defensive lineman Sione Potoae.
"He told us he is going to put a big tent over the state of Washington so that he could keep the in-state guys here," Fogerson said. "He said it was a problem recently, and he would not have five-star guys going to Cal. That's very obviously his main focus."
Potoae gave Sarkisian his oral commitment that night. Along with Fogerson, the Huskies now have two commitments for the class of 2010.
Sarkisian, hired in early December, is charged with turning around a program fresh off an 0-12 season. Making local inroads on a recruiting class that could help define his tenure may be his biggest challenge.
"There's no question this next class will be the one that puts Sarkisian on the map, for better or worse," Scout.com Northwest recruiting analyst Chris Fetters said.
The class of 2010 is loaded with talent from the Puget Sound region. Heaps could be the nation's top-rated recruit when Web sites such as Scout.com and Rivals.com post their initial rankings.
Lakes receiver Jamaal Kearse, Olympic tailback Larry Dixon, Auburn safety Chris Young, Bellevue defensive lineman Julious Moore and Lakes linebacker Darius Waters also are highly rated.
Last February, Lakes coach Dave Miller sent two top recruits from the Class of 2008 -- tight end Kavario Middleton and receiver Jermaine Kearse, brother of Jamaal -- to the UW when Tyrone Willingham was still coach.
Former receivers coach Charlie Baggett was the lone assistant to recruit Middleton and Jermaine Kearse under Willingham. Sarkisian is doing things a bit differently.
"They will put in the effort, and they are getting all their coaches involved, not just one per school," Fetters said.
Miller immediately took to the approach, too.
"I've been really impressed with their energy and enthusiasm," he said.
Bellevue coach Butch Goncharoff also gives the staff a high grade based on first impressions.
"Probably I would give them an 'A' so far. I don't want to bash the previous staff, but I've seen more of these guys in the last couple months than I had at all," Goncharoff said. "When you call, they get back to you. They've been great. That's my experience, and that's what I hear."
Auburn coach Gordon Elliott hasn't met Sarkisian, but Holt visited the high school, and running backs coach Joel Thomas has talked at length with Elliott about Young.
"One of the good things is (Sarkisian) has some assistants that are familiar with the area. I've been involved in high school football for 28 years in the area, and there are guys that recruited here for other universities," Elliott said, adding that he has worked camps with Holt.
Young is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound rover for the Trojans, a position also played by all-state selections Kellen Kiilsgaard (Stanford) and K.C. Herren (Texas Rangers).
"He's the best we've had here," Elliott said of Young. "We've had all-state caliber players at that position, and I think Chris is better considering the whole package, and that's saying a lot."
Sarkisian is from the Los Angeles area and has spent his entire coaching career in California. He already has extended scholarship offers to no fewer than 11 players there.
Recruiting the Golden State is critical given the size of the talent pool, but keeping local athletes home is as much an on-field necessity as it is a public relations coup.
"Their knowledge base still extends more into Southern California than Washington right now," Fetters said. "So it all depends on how quickly they get up to speed on the in-state guys they want."
Sarkisian said he felt his staff made a quick impression on local coaches, though there were only two Washingtonians in his first recruiting class that signed Feb. 4.
"I think we came off very aggressive and very sincere. I think we came off that that there's a change at Washington, and we are going to be out and about, and seen," Sarkisian said. "And we are going to be in your schools recruiting your kids.
"We've gotten a pretty good head start on (2010) already, and I think that made an impression on the high school coaches."
Goncharoff agreed.
"Because (the 2010 recruits) are juniors, they can't spend much time with them, but they've done a nice job of making them feel part of the program, and they've built excitement around Huskies football," Goncharoff said.
"It is a great year in-state, and these (coaches) are making roads all over, and they believe what they're selling -- that's what I've seen."
While contact with recruits is limited by NCAA rules, Sarkisian has spoken at two clinics and will host Junior Day in March. Recruits can attend spring workouts.
The month of May -- the heart of the evaluation period -- will be vital for the new staff in terms of recruiting and continuing to develop relationships. Most scholarship offers will be made in the spring, though Sarkisian already has extended offers to at least eight in-state players.
"We'll have our own clinic (for coaches April 17-18), our spring recruiting, and we'll be getting out to all the schools in Washington," Sarkisian said. "We want to keep the top talent home; we don't want it going anywhere else."
Fogerson, whose brother Johri played safety as a true freshman last season for the Huskies, believes Sarkisian.
"I think all of us are buying it. I think all the in-state guys really do like these guys," he said. "Now, time will tell."

Snedeker, Potter share lead at Pebble
AT&T PEBBLE BEACH NATIONAL PRO-AM Co-leader Snedeker gets off to hot start this season
Updated 12:00 am, Saturday, February 9, 2013
Pebble Beach --
Brandt Snedeker arrived on the Monterey Peninsula on a distinctive if unsatisfying roll.
He tied for second two weeks ago at the PGA Tour event in San Diego - behind only Tiger Woods. Snedeker finished second again last week in Scottsdale, Ariz. - behind Phil Mickelson.
Good thing Jack Nicklaus isn't in the field this week.
Snedeker, undeterred, keeps planting himself in contention. He will enter the weekend tied for the lead in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, after cruising around rugged Spyglass Hill for a bogey-free 68 on Friday. That left Snedeker at 8-under-par for the tournament, tied with Ted Potter Jr.
Hunter Mahan highlights the quartet at 7-under, with Jason Day and Cal alum James Hahn among the players lurking at 6-under.
Snedeker probably finds some solace in seeing Mickelson back in the pack, at 2-under. Consider some numbers from Arizona: Snedeker blazed around TPC Scottsdale in 24-under-par, with no round worse than 66. That score would have won the tournament in each of the previous 11 years.
Not this time. Not with Mickelson posting 28-under.
"I don't think it's going to happen, but I would love for Phil to not show up one year," Snedeker said.
If those pesky all-time greats would just get out of the way, more fans might appreciate Snedeker. He's one of the most likable players on tour, partly because of his willingness to show emotion - smiling most of the time, crying when he squandered a tantalizing chance to win the 2008 Masters - and partly because of his uncommonly swift pace.
He's really good, too. Snedeker won two tournaments last year, including the Tour Championship, and also won the season points title. He seems to surface on the leaderboard nearly every week, which is good for his bank account - almost $5 million in earnings last year, already close to $1.7 million this year.
Now he just needs to secure his inaugural win of the new year. His odds are improving, in some ways, with Woods at home in Florida and Mickelson not zooming out of the gate as he did last week (60-65).
"If I play this weekend the same way I did the past two," Snedeker said, "then I'm going to have a lot of fun."
In honor of Snedeker, we will try to keep this column moving along. No need for excessive contemplation. No reason to fret about the choice of adjectives or search for the perfect adverb.
Just type and move to the next sentence - exactly the way Snedeker hits one shot and walks briskly to the next.
"I try not to think about it too much," he said. "The more I think, typically, the worse things happen. I try to keep it pretty simple. Get over the ball, have a good thought and go for it."
Now if only more tour pros played this way.
Snedeker offered an example of his customary pace on No. 7 at Spyglass, his 16th hole of Friday's round. His tee shot drifted a few feet into the right rough. Snedeker arrived at his ball, quickly surveyed the situation, pulled one club, briefly reconsidered, pulled another club, stepped over the ball and hit it.
One spectator, standing nearby, turned to his buddy and said, "He doesn't waste any time."
Snedeker repeated the no-nonsense routine with his third shot, a gorgeous wedge to 3 feet. Same with his birdie putt, which obediently disappeared into the hole. Same on the next hole, when he made another birdie - with another gorgeous approach shot - to climb into a tie for the lead.
"I obviously think we need to do a better job," Snedeker said, referring to the longtime problem of slow play on tour. "It's not fun for fans to watch a five-hour round, and it's not fun for us to play a five-hour round. It's not good for golf.
"I would love to see us play in four hours out here. I don't see it happening - not at this tournament - but it would be nice."
Snedeker has an advantage on several other contenders, with Spyglass already off his plate. Potter, for instance, still must play there Saturday - while Snedeker moves on to Pebble Beach, historically the easiest of the AT&T's three courses (especially with mostly calm conditions in the forecast).
He brings some encouraging history at Pebble, given his strong showing in the 2010 U.S. Open (tie for eighth). Snedeker also understands he doesn't need to accumulate a bucket load of birdies, unlike last week.
In this tournament, par is usually your friend.
"That's my MO - don't do anything stupid," he said.
And stay away from Tiger and Phil.

It's that time of year again! When Central League teams face off against their Pacific League counterparts. Things will get started for the Swallows on Wednesday evening at Jingu when they face off against the defending Nippon Series Champion Hawks. The Interleague format hasn't changed over the last couple of years, and if anyone needs a refresher they can go check out our 2010 Interleague Preview which lays out the nitty gritty of the system. The only major change is that starting pitcher announcements will now be made for Interleague games. The only other difference I can see reading the old preview is how much stronger the Japanese yen has gotten in the last 2 years. (50 million yen now gets you around 626,000 USD.)
While the goal is always going to be finishing with a better record than the 11 other teams and winning Interleague, being the top Central League team would be a fine consolation if we can't top the table. Since every game ahead of a Central League rival is a game that the other team will have to make up in the Central League. In a 6 team league these games can come in handy late in the season when teams will be hitting each other and making advances up the table can be harder.
Last year the Swallows finished 6th overall with a 10-12-2 record, which was 3 games behind the Dragons who finished fourth overall with a 14-10 record. The Hawks won Interleague outright with a 18-4-2 record.
For those of you, who like me, are so Swallows-centric and don't follow the Pacific League here's s short blurb about the teams the Swallows will face and players to watch. This preview will cover the first 3 teams the Swallows will face. I'll cover the next 3 teams next week.
Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks: The defending champions have been chugging along despite losing key plays like Toshiya Sugiuchi, Tsuyoshi Wada, D.J. Houlten, and Munenori Kawasaki. Despite pre-season predictions of decline the Hawks are still in the thick of the PL race with a 19-17-2 record, which is good for 3rd in the league. The Hawks' continued success is largely related to their ability to hit the ball. Former major leaguer Wily Mo Peña leads the PL with 8 homers, with a healthy .288/.345/.545 slash line. Nobuhiro Matsuda and Seiichi Uchikawa also bring quality hitting to the line up. In terms of pitching, the only big name left in the Haws' rotation is Tadashi Settsu who is having a good season, with a 5-0 record with a 1.51 ERA in 7 starts. The last storyline worth tracking is Hiroki Kokubo gunning for 2000 career hits. With only 4 more hits left to reach the milestone, it's possible that Kokubo will reach the milestone at Jingu.
Orix Buffaloes: The Buffaloes were the trendy pick to do well this season, but so far things have been pretty glum for the Buffaloes. The addition of Korean slugger Dae-Ho Lee has been a plus, but injuries to key players like T-Okada and Chihiro Kaneko have kept the Buffaloes from fielding their optimal lineup. The result has been a fight for the PL cellar with the Seibu Lions (more on that next week). Things may be looking up for the Buffaloes as Kaneko has looked good in his 2 starts this season, and Okada has recently rejoined the team. 10 year vet and former Giant Hiroshi Kisanuki has gotten off to a fairly hot start for the Buffaloes with a 1.87 ERA over 6 starts, including 2 complete games. Last year's PL Interleague MVP, Tomotaka Sakaguchi has been showing his age with a .225/.250/.252 slash.
Chiba Lotte Marines: The Marines have rebounded nicely from the 2011 PL cellar, and currently top the PL. The Marines' resurgence can be attributed in part to a strong rotation bolstered by the addition of the glad-to-leave-the Giants Seth Greisinger and rookie phenom Takahiro Fujioka to the duo of Yoshihisa Naruse and Yuki Karakawa. While Fujioka has gotten most of the rookie attention, Naoki Masuda has also contributed big time in his first season stabilizing the Marine's bullpen. Another glad-to-leave-the Giants is Saburo who leads the team in OBP. Tadahito Iguchi is also putting up his usual solid early season numbers (.304/.367/.448). But otherwise, the Marines lineup lacks pop, and is overshadowed by their pitching.
The Swallows go into Interleague on a somewhat down note having lost 3 of their last 3 games, and seeing even more of their starters (Kawabata and Muranaka) be sent down to the farm. However, the lax Interleague scheduling will allow the team to give their pitchers plenty of rest and will hopefully give some players the chance to come back.

Arsenal hero tells Arsene Wenger: You have to do this ASAP!
FRANK MCLINTOCK reckons Arsenal need to sign at least three new players in the January transfer window.
Last season's FA Cup winners, who sit at the summit of the Premier League, are currently in the midst of a major injury crisis.
The north Londoners - who recorded a 1-0 victory over Newcastle last Saturday - are currently without the services of Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck, Tomas Rosicky, Mikel Arteta, Santi Cazorla, Alexis Sanchez and Francis Coquelin.
Last weekend, Gunners chief Arsene Wenger revealed that he plans on alleviating the squad's injury woes by making some new additions.
"There are still positions they can improve on"Frank McLintock
And McLintock - who spent seven years at Highbury - reckons the Frenchman needs to deliver on his promise.
"I'd like to see an improvement in January, especially at centre-half," the 76-year-old told talkSPORT.
"I think Per Mertesacker has been a bit fortunate. He's been a great pro and a great player for Germany, but I can't see him getting in the Bayern Munich, Barcelona or Real Madrid teams.
"That's a position that needs to be filled.
"If [Francis] Coquelin is injured there isn't a ready-made player with any height or strength who could play in that holding midfield position, and they definitely need another top class centre-forward too in case [Olivier] Giroud – who has been effective this season - gets injured.
"There are still positions they can improve on."

Microsoft's support lifecycle for every Windows version is a generous 10 years from the date it was launched. That means even those still clinging to Windows Vista can count on more than a year of security updates, until April 11, 2017, and anyone running Windows 7 can do so with confidence until January 14, 2020.
So Windows 8, which was released in October of 2012, should be supported until well into the next decade, right?
Thanks to a quirk in the support lifecycle, buy windows 8 product key Windows 8 users are about to be cut off from security updates. When the first Patch Tuesday of 2016 rolls around on January 12, it will represent the last batch of updates for Windows 8.
If you're still running Windows 8, it's time to update to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 or risk exposing your PC to unpatched security risks.
The reason for this odd state of affairs is that Microsoft is treating Windows 8.1 as a service pack to Windows 8. The rules allow you to hold off on installing that service pack,cheap windows 8 product key but only for two years. Here's the formal policy, which I've stitched together from two separate documents:
Unlike service packs that are typically just a collection of fixes, Windows 8.1 has new features and enhancements. We designed Windows 8.1 to give customers an ability to deploy this update in a manner that is similar to how customers deploy service packs, therefore we are applying the existing service pack support policy to Windows 8.1.
[For] Windows 8, support ends 24 months after the next service pack releases or at the end of the product's support lifecycle, whichever comes first.windows 8 product key If you are using software without the latest service pack you won't be offered any new security or non-security updates, although preexisting updates will continue to be offered.
And that time is now up.
The good news is that upgrading to Windows 8.1 pushes the deadline out significantly. Windows 8.1 reaches the end of its Extended Support phase on January 10, 2023, and there won't be any additional service packs to complicate that deadline.
Upgrading to Windows 10 extends the lifecycle even further, to October 14, 2025.
Windows 8 might seem like a historical footnote at this point. However, as of the end of December 2015, three analytics sources I track calculated the percentage of PCs running Windows 8 (not including 8.1) at between 2 and 3 percent of the total installed base of desktop and laptop PCs and Macs.windows 7 home premium product key That small percentage of a very large number (about 1.5 billion by most estimates) still adds up to between 30 and 40 million PCs.
The upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1 is unlike any other Windows upgrade; it requires a trip to the Windows Store rather than the normal Windows Update route. The update is free for almost all. The one exception: Any enterprise with a Windows 8 Volume License that doesn't include Software Assurance has to pay extra.
I suspect that most of the devices still running Windows 8 are consumer PCs, purchased by technically unsophisticated users who've never been to the Windows Store and ignored any prompts they might have seen to upgrade. Starting next week, windows 8 pro product key they're living very dangerously indeed.

If you are looking for a natural way to shrink and even ELIMINATE your ovarian cysts once and for all, without painful surgery or dangerous prescriptions, you can't miss this important announcement…
This All Natural Ovarian Cyst Cure Is Giving Millions Of Women Around The World A Reason To Celebrate
Now You Can See What The Buzz Is About!
If you're here, you are probably one of the millions of women who suffer from the excruciating pain caused by ovarian cysts. If you are sick and tired of ovarian cysts ruining your life, I want you to know that you can take back control and start living a normal, pain free life once again. Don't be a slave to the pain, swelling, and even potentially dangerous complications for another day – CLICK HERE to take control of your body once again!
Like you, I know the pain of ovarian cysts firsthand. For me, it started as an unusually painful period and progressed into constant back pain, dizziness, nausea, and eventually, a pain so bad that I couldn't sleep at night. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told me there was nothing he could really do other than prescribe pain medication.
The pain medicine did nothing for my pain.
Once the lack of sleep, the missed days of work, and the excruciating pain during intercourse started taking its toll on my marriage and family, I decided to see the doctor again. This time the dreaded "surgery" word came up.

Boston Business Breakfast on Sports Law this Thursday
St. John's Prep, which I'm proud to say is also the alma mater of Notre Dame head football coach Brian Kelly (Class of 1979) and Penn State head football coach Bill O'Brien (Class of 1988).
I'll be discussing breaking issues in sports law, including the Boston Marathon bombings and the impact on stadium security.
Even if you are not an alum, but are interested in sports law, I hope you consider attending ($25/person):

Engine Performance problem
1998 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 180000 miles
I'm a novice when it comes to car repair, but I seem to have a rough idle while the car is stopped in gear. I would have to change to neutral to keep the rpms steady. This happens in reverse also. But when I'm at highway speeds the car seems fine. I checked the codes and I have a small vacume leak evap and maf code. I noticed that the rubber seal between the MAF and filter is missing and dirt might have gotten in? Is the Mass Airflow sensor cleanable? I bought a MAF cleaner and am hesitant to use it? I also figure the evap code has something to do with the bypass valve and carbon canister. These seem to be common problems?
have the same problem?

As many of you know, I typically travel with a mobile Hyper-V setup using a mini-server housed in a Gigabyte Brix unit. I also have a brand new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, which I've also written about. During the recent PowerShell Summit my intent was to use this gear during my presentations and demos. Sadly, I forgot the power cord to my Brix. Fortunately, Don Jones was inspired by my setup to build one of his own so I was a able to borrow his power cord for my second demonstration. But then this roller coaster brought me back down as I couldn't get network connectivity to work using an old 4 port switch. I ended up re-working demos to do everything on my Yoga 2 Pro, which wasn't too bad since it has 8GB of RAM. But I really wanted the additional virtual machines.
When I returned home I decided the switch was the core of my problems and needed something that my laptop would recognize as a valid network device, even if it was the first device plugged in. I found a Netgear ProSafe Plus 4 port (GS105E) switch from my local Staples. Love it. I plugged my Yoga 2 Pro in, I bought a USB3 ethernet dongle, and right away Windows said I had a 1GB network connection, albeit without Internet which was fine since I don't rely on the Internet for my demos or training. I plugged in the Brix, fired it up and it just worked. That's all I ever wanted: plug it in and work.
Here's my setup, plugged in and working just as it would be at a conference or training site.
For the record, I have a USB 3 Toshiba drive plugged into the Brix that holds ISOs, backups and other large, static files. I have a USB 3 hub and another Toshiba USB 3 drive for my Yoga 2 Pro, although right now I don't need that as part of my demo/training setup. The mouse is a Logitech Bluetooth mouse that is compact and just works. I tried other Bluetooth mice with varying degrees of success. I also like that the mouse gets like an hour of run time even when charged via USB for literally one minute. Very happy to finally have a setup I can rely on. I'm looking forward to trying it out next week while I am on the road.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

WWE will likely cajole Stone Cold Steve Austin into one more match at some point. Austinwill obviously have opponent approval, and I doubt he'd want to put himself at risk working against someone as physical as Brock Lesnar. Consider what Lesnar did to John Cena in their PPV bout. Brutal.
That said, I believe the real money gets made if Lesnar dominates WWE between now and 'Mania, then Austin shows up as Wyatt Earp to save the town from the outlaw. If, indeed, that is the plan – and I doubt it; it makes too much sense – here's how to get from Point A to Point B while taking into account Lesnar's limited dates and Austin's limited availability.
It involves Zack Ryder. That's right. Woo, woo, woo.
You got Paul Heyman representing Lesnar. Use Ryder to pave the path to Austin. Ryder serves as Lesnar's verbal tormentor. Lesnar cuts an in-ring promo; Ryder follows up on the Jumbotron. Lesnar destroys an opponent on RAW or PPV; Ryder follows up on the Jumbotron. Ryder taunts Lesnar, coloring his "Are you serious, bro?" rap with a bit of insanity. With a touch of Brian Pillman.
"You're tough, bro…but you're not the toughest. You're bad, bro…but you're not the baddest. You can beat up almost everybody…but there's somebody you can't beat. You scare almost everybody…but there's somebody you're scared of."
Lesnar, of course, goes ballistic. EVERY TIME. His eyes bulge, his veins pop, Lesnar goes CRAZY. But he can never get his hands on Ryder. NEVER. Ryder is always one step ahead, just a little too slick. Ryder wrestles a match. Lesnar hits the ring. But Ryder leaves through the crowd and Lesnar can't quite catch him. Ryder is "live" backstage. Brock finds a video machine on play. It's a Benny Hill chase scene. It's the roadrunner and coyote. John Laurinaitis "fires" Ryder. That makes him impossible to control. Who's the mole that keeps sneaking Ryder's promos on TV?
You could tape a lot of this in advance. You could maximize Lesnar's presence on Raw despite his limited dates.
Lesnar can never, ever lay his hands on Ryder. That's why Ryder getting "fired" is necessary. Laurinaitis can't force a match. Ryder returns as a masked guy: The Midnight Ryder. Everybody knows who it is. Lesnar destroys him. Lesnar rips off the mask, and it's not Ryder. More torture.
Everyone would fear Lesnar. He'd keep destroying every opponent while all this goes on. But Ryder's ridicule would give fans a method of ridicule. That's part of a heel's dynamic, too.
Finally, Ryder asks for his job back. Laurinaitis, anxious to finally feed Ryder to Lesnar, hires him. Ryder is in the ring, ready to face Lesnar. Lesnar comes out onstage. He's champing at the bit, jumping up and down, his adrenaline in overdrive. Lesnar charges the ring but, when he's partway down the aisle, the lights go out.

I cannot think of another time since we started this blog when I have been more absent. The end of the spring semester was a blur, and I typically go into hiding once grades are submitted. I want to push my kids on the swing, tend the garden, read fiction, and do little else. And I have done little else for the past couple weeks.
Now, with summer projects clambering for attention (a chapter on Radical Orthodoxy must be written by August), I hope to be more consistently present on TF. Let me wade back in by posting part of a brief presentation I made for our University's student awards night. The student and I had worked together on a research project on Gregory of Nyssa, so I geared my comments on divine revelation in his direction:
In the book of Job, chapters 38-41, God interrogates Job with a series of questions:" "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundations? . . . Who marked off its dimensions? . . . Who stretched a measuring line across it?" (38:4, 5); "Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place, that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? (38:12-13); "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep?" (38:16); "Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this." (38:18)
God shows Job that he has attempted to reach beyond the limits of his grasp, beyond what his knowledge is able to attain. How does Job respond? "Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things to wonderful for me to know."
Gregory of Nyssa tried to evoke a similar response from his readers in his book The Second Book Against Eunomius. Continue reading

OK, so I originally had an issue with having to hold down the gas pedal to start the vehicle and then what I thought was idling issues after the engine warmed up. That was all solved by replacing the coolant temp sensor. In the process of figuring this out I replaced the IAC, PCV Valvle, and Throttle positioning sensor. Now the vehicle is extremely sluggish when trying to accelerate between 1000-2500RPM and then shifts up too soon. When trying to accelerate from a cruising speed it will not shift down unless you push the throttle wide open. Also, when I let off the gas to decelerate the RPMS drop to 1000, where as I would usually expect to see some moderate engine braking. No issues when giving the engine gas while in park. Is this a vaccum issue? Possibly a speed sensor issue? Or is it time to invest in a new transmission.
have the same problem?
