Earnest Byner On "Everybody Fumbles"
Browns' and Redskins' great Earnest Byner joined me today to talk "Concussion," Johnny Football in a wig, ND's Jaylon Smith and life after the NFL:
HH: I've got to tell you, there are days when everything comes together. And today is one of those days where there are four football stories. There's the movie, Concussion. There is the terrible injury to Jalen Smith, the Notre Dame linebacker. He's had to have reconstructive knee surgery. There is the Cleveland Browns in utter disarray hiring Paul Depodesta from the Mets to come in from baseball and straighten them out. Johnny Football is caught in Las Vegas in a blond wig, and everything comes together in my favorite Christmas present, which arrived unannounced at my post office box from one of my heroes, Ernest Byner, who is for 14 years one of the great running backs of my lifetime in the NFL. And Ernest Byner did me the great honor of sending me a copy of Everybody Fumbles, and I immediately emailed him, and I said Ernest Byner, come on the Hugh Hewitt Show, and he said yes. Ernest Byner, welcome, it's great to talk to you.
EB: Oh, thanks for having me, man. Gosh almighty, how does this all come together, though? Johnny Football in a wig? No, you've got to be kidding me now.
HH: No, there are days when a guest just shows up, and it's a divine appointment, because I was reading Everybody Fumbles, and by the way, it's a terrific book. I don't know when you wrote it, but it made me laugh, and I want to give it to every young man I know out there who runs into tough stuff. But let's start at the beginning.
EB: Right.
HH: I want to start with Concussion.
EB: Yeah.
HH: Because I saw the movie two nights ago after I had gotten Everybody Fumbles, and I thought to myself, now Ernest Byner has written this terrific book, had 14 years of running.
EB: Yeah.
HH: No, what do you think of that movie? And what do you think of that controversy?
EB: Well, I think the movie is really great. I went to see it. It does break out some things that we didn't know as players during the time, because you know, I actually played in a few games. I had a concussion. I had concussions and also went back in the game and continued to play, and I had a number, I can't tell you how many dings of when my bell was rung in practice and in games. And you know, getting a view of Concussion really helped me to understand some of the issues that I'm dealing with today, that I started dealing with shortly after I finished playing the game. But the issues are continually popping up, for different reasons.
HH: Now expand on that, because you played 14 years.
EB: Yeah.
HH: You've got a Super Bowl ring. You gained 8,000-plus yards, so I don't know how many times you got hit hard. It's got to be 15-20,000 hard hits. How does it impact your life on a daily basis?
EB: Well, it just did, the different issues come up at different times. My sleep patterns are terrible. I don't sleep. I sleep very intermittently, and that's because of some of the mind stuff. But also, because of some of the other injuries that I had over my career. The concussions come up with my different emotions that come about with me. My short temperedness, my irritability, my forgetfulness, I mean, it's just so many different ways that it pops up, and it takes me probably hours to do things that it generally would take someone 15-20 minutes to do. And the stuff that I know, sometimes my stuttering, my speech is not good. Tonight, I'm good. I'm rolling tonight.
HH: You are rolling.
EB: I'm rolling tonight.
HH: It's all a surprise to me.
EB: There are times where I can't hardly get words out. You know, little stuff that I know that I know, that I know that I should know, I don't know. I mean, just little math problem, I mean, it's just so many things.
HH: It's interesting, Ernest Byner, because you know, I'm 59, so I'm older than you.
EB: Yeah.
HH: And that happens to me anyway, and I didn't play a down of even high school football. Actually, I did, but it didn't count, because I didn't get in. But let me ask you about this. Knowing all you know, would you do it again?
EB: I love the game.
HH: Yeah.
EB: I love the game, Hugh. I'd play again.
HH: See, well, you had such a career.
EB: The safety, and the other aspects that were so good for me….
HH: Now I want you to talk to a young man like, I hope, we're going to post this interview.
EB: Okay.
HH: And I hope Jalen Smith wakes up from his surgery, and this is the story that breaks your heart. He was going to be a top five.
EB: Yeah.
HH: You were drafted in the tenth round, right?
EB: Yeah, right.
HH: And you've become a superstar. He has got everything in front of him, and he gets injured. What would you say to that young man when he wakes up tomorrow and you know, his life is different?
EB: The first thing I would say is that if you have that dream, keep that dream. One of the other things that I would give to him is to make sure that you keep the focus on what you desire, not what you have gone through. Everything, and the other thing that I would tell him is everything that you have gone through up to this point has prepared you to move forward. So when you wake up tomorrow morning, I'm telling you right now, when you wake up tomorrow morning, you get ready to go be what you desire to be, and have that in mind every day that you go through rehab, every day that you're going through healing. Have what you desire in your mind.
HH: You know, the same thing happened to Brian Hoyer when he was having that terrific year three years ago…
EB: Yeah.
HH: …and then he went down, and my heart just broke for him…
EB: Yeah.
HH: …because he finally had his shot, and how he's back in the playoffs making a run.
EB: Yeah, yeah.
HH: I don't know if he's going to get a ring like you did, but you can come back.
EB: Yeah.
HH: Second question, Johnny Football, you know, I'm on WHK, 1420 in Cleveland. I'm on 1260 WRC in Washington, D.C. I'm on in Vegas. I'm all over. I don't know where he is today. What's your advice to that young man, Ernest Byner? You're the consummate football professional.
EB: Well, the thing that I would say to Johnny, and I don't know if it would matter, is that learn to appreciate the smaller things in life, the things that really make a difference. The opportunity that you have to influence young kids and other guys that are around you, the opportunity that you have at this point, will not be there long. So you've got to, you've got to go through, you've got to get through this window while it's open. Eventually, that will close, and you will be missing out on something very special.
HH: Well said again. Now Ernest Byner, I'm going to go all Cleveland on you for a moment, and my, the rest of my national audience just has to appreciate this. You are a Cleveland legend. Are the Browns fans the best fans in the world? I put you on the spot, because I've got Redskins fans listening as well.
EB: Well, you know, you know the Redskins fans, they were great to me. The most loyal fans have been, and they have shown this through Facebook, Twitter, the number of appearances that I have done for the Browns, for the Browns backers, has been way more than any other team. I have not had the opportunity to be engaged with fans after my career like I've had with the Browns fans.
HH: Well, you just ratified. Now tell us, you've been a coach for so long, many years after you retired from playing. You've coached a number of different teams. But you're a young man. So what do you do with the next 25 to 40 years that Ernest Byner has? You've got Everybody Fumbles. I put your website up, by the way. It's www.ernestbyner21.com, America.
EB: Okay, okay.
HH: What are you going to do?
EB: Well, it just depends. I'm doing a lot of praying right now for direction. I'm asking God to direct my path, asking the Spirit to come in and make it clear for me as far as what He desires. I know what I desire. I desire to help people. I desire to keep teaching. I desire to go out and speak when people, as a matter of fact, I got a couple of speaking engagements this off season, so I want to share and I want to teach as much as I can about the different levels of winning, and the different ways that you can win in the game, athletically, but also in life.
HH: Well, I love your book, because it obviously refers to the infamous fumble, Everybody Fumbles.
EB: Right.
HH: And I love that you advertise that.
EB: Right.
HH: And you just say everybody fumbles.
EB: Right.
HH: And I think that takes courage, and it must make for a great speech. But I, did you hesitate to name your book that?
EB: No, not at all. Not at all, because you know, the realities of it is everybody does make mistakes on some level, not at the level that I made, that I fumbled on. It's not at that same level, but in somebody's life, there is a play or a situation, I say play, but there is a situation that happens that's very significant to them, and it matters, and it matters how they come out of that. It matters to me how people use the energy that they're given, the failure or success. It matters to me how they transfer that into moving forward.
HH: And then you come back and you win the Super Bowl.
EB: Absolutely.
HH: That's the message, isn't it?
EB: Absolutely. And that's the blessing. Now you know, obviously, you know, everybody's not going to come out and be a champion, but they can be a champion in their life on whatever level that they want to be a champion on. But I did have the opportunity to go to another team, another team that really kind of gave me a little bit, you know, to me, you know, we talk about redemption, but you know, it's really just living out the life that you're blessed to live. And I was blessed enough to be on the team that had a lot of good people, a good coach, and gave me an opportunity to kind of almost start over again and refresh myself.
HH: Well, Ernest Byner, you are a generous man. Thank you for sending me your book and for making time for me today. And I would say to anyone out there who has any kind of a need for an inspirational speaker, go to www.ernestbyner21.com, and look up this man and get him to come to your town, because this is a real uplift. And Ernest, have a great 2016, my friend.
EB: You, too, Hugh, and tell Steve we did get together, because he said y'all, you know, Steve Forest, who's with CNN…
HH: Yup.
EB: …and people don't know that, but tell him I said hello, and thanks for making the connection between you and I.
HH: I'm so happy about that. He gives me such grief about the Browns, but now I owe him.
EB: (laughing) He told me.
HH: Ernest Byner, a pleasure, what an All-Pro. Great to talk to you. Everybody Fumbles is linked over at Hughhewitt.com, America.
End of interview.

Manheim 3D/Motion NADA Video
The awesome people at Sweeney and Sons Production brought me in, as part of the team, to help build out a large video for Manheim for the NADA Tradeshow.
They set me in charge of designing a few style frames and building out a lot of 3D assets and animation.
I've broken out the sections below along with some raw renders that were used for previewing animation and some crazy physics problems that I encountered during some rigging episodes.
A couple of initial style frames
The client wanted a bit of a tech look, so I pulled out my old friend Illustrator and build out some tech elements, arcs and type treatments to go over an earlier plate.
My animations
The client wanted the 3D portions to have this matte white look, a pretty simple look, without a lot of complexity. The didn't want reality and gave us a few references to pull from.
Rigging vehicles
Here are some rigging tests done for a car and a 18-wheeler. In the end I wasn't able to use my rigs due to some weird circumstances, but they were super fun to create and worked quite well.
Bloopers and Pieces that didn't make the cut
Below are some of the crazy physics that provided some laughter and a few other assets that didn't fit the bill.

He was such a good sport about watching Tyler kiss on his sister, but he's probably used to it by now, since they've been together for a few years. Carly happened to see Kitt's photos, and fell in love with her farm (who wouldn't, right?). So she asked if we could shoot a session of her & her bo, as well as capture a few images of her brother. We had a delightful time, and just before the rain came down! Please enjoy their photos.

Used 1929 Ford Model A Delivery for Sale
Very nice original Model A, would make a great delivery or promotional vehicle!
This Model A Delivery recently benefitted from a nut and bolt frame off restoration and appears to be painted in Niagara Blue Light, which was one of the cars original four color options. Complementing that blue is traditional gloss black Model A fenders and black body trim that has been traced with light blue pin stripes. The cars upper rear panels and side window frames are finished in a subdued teal blue and feature the words "Harbor Delivery", "Gig Harbor Wa." and "Est. 1929" in black with "Harbor" being outlined by the same light blue pin stripes as the cars black trim. Fully detailed and expertly finished, the cars body is free of ripples and the blue and black on blue paint looks period correct and very classy. Up front, a stainless radiator cowl with a stainless radiator cap and correct "Ford" stamped headlights with stainless wire looms display a nice patina that looks appropriate given the cars original purpose, but does not detract from its show worthy restoration. Hanging below the headlights on the gloss black headlight bar is a correct Ford Model A horn that sounds just as good as it looks. In front of the gloss black fenders, a correct chrome plated steel spring bumper features black brackets and a cool "Ford" emblem that complements the cars pristine radiator cowl emblem. Just behind the stainless radiator cowl, a four piece hinged hood is in excellent shape and along with the cowl mounted fuel tank, which features a stainless fuel cap, displays no chips or imperfections. Above the cowl mounted fuel tank, a new windshield sits under the cars single wiper and holds two correct rear view mirrors that are finished in gloss black and trimmed in chrome. Above the windshield, a correct Colonial Grain vinyl visor flows into a correct Colonial Grain vinyl top that is in excellent shape and shows no signs of fade or wear. The classic profile of the car is interrupted only by correct body matched bear claw door hinges and correct chrome door handles that display the same patina as the radiator and headlights. At the rear of the car, a third door is held on by three more correct bear claw hinges, secured by a matching chrome handle and houses glass presents as new. Below the rear door, two more chrome plated spring bumpers are held on with black brackets, and a correct chrome duo tail lamp with red lenses occupies the driver's side of the car serving double duty as a tag bracket and tag light.
Fold open the blue steel hood or remove its louvered sides and you'll find a correct 40 horsepower L-head four cylinder that measures 201 cubic inches. Painted olive green, this motor might be slow but it was an exceptionally reliable workhorse that would eventually be supplanted by Ford's flathead V8. On the passenger's side of the engine, stainless fuel lines gravity feed fuel from the cowl mounted fuel tank through a black sediment bowl into a correct one barrel Zenith carburetor. Directly above the motor, a gloss black coil is bolted to the dark blue firewall and runs power to a correct Model A distributor which sends fire to four Champion spark plugs. Exhaust is piped out of a correct exhaust manifold that sits above a correct intake manifold, to a baffled muffler just behind the engine. At the front of the engine bay, a correct 2 blade pulley mounted fan is driven by a crank turned V belt that appears to be in good shape while correct hoses and tubing run from the radiator to the block and are secured by correct clamps. The engine compartment is finished in the same dark blue as the body and features the Delivery's original body plate on the passenger's side firewall. Above the engine, the four piece hood is covered in dark blue and finished to the same standards as the rest of the body.
The bottom of this Delivery is very clean with its black fenders and body braces still retaining significant gloss. Everything has been professionally restored and every part is correct to how the pickup rolled out of its Ford assembly plant. A 3-speed sliding gear manual transmission sends power to a correct gloss black rear end that provides motivation for the rear wheels. At the front of the car a gloss black oil pan perfectly matches gloss black suspension, and an original style exhaust pipe runs through a correctly baffled muffler into a tail pipe that stops just short of the rear axle. Mechanical drum brakes sit on each side of correct transversely mounted leaf springs to provide acceptable riding and stopping. The entire chassis is bolted together with stainless hardware and includes a driver's side floor mounted battery tray for easy battery access and charging. This Delivery rolls on correct 21 inch wire spoke wheels that are painted black to match the fenders and wear traditional size 4.50/4.75-21 Firestone white walls. On the outside of those wheels you'll find aluminum covered valve stems and in the middle of those wheels you'll find correct "Ford" stamped chrome center caps and silver lug nuts.
Inside the cab, this Delivery features a traditionally simple and appealing Model A interior. The arched dash is painted in gray and houses a nicely aged center gauge pod that includes the ignition switch, an amps gauge, a cool round speedometer with an incorporated odometer and a floating fuel gauge for the cowl mounted fuel tank. Above the dash, hardware for the tilt window is in great shape and an interior light and its switch are incorporated into the panel above the windshield. Below the dash a simple metal shifter and vertical emergency brake complement a stainless choke for the Zenith carburetor, and correct black floor pedals spring up from a black rubber floor mat. At each side of the floor mat, correct "Ford" stamped sill plates welcome you to the interior and sit below pristine vinyl door panels. Those door panels are topped by gray trim that matches the dash and feature chrome window cranks, chrome door handles and chrome door locks. Two bucket seats are covered in the same reddish brown vinyl as the door panels and feel firm to the touch. Behind the seats, the sides of the car are covered in reddish brown vinyl panels from the tight, matching headliner all the way to the wooden cargo floor. That cargo floor has been stained black to match the cars gloss black fenders, gloss black floor hardware and the cars correct black steering wheel.
This Ford Model A Delivery is a very cool car that has been professionally restored to have just as much character as it did back in 1929. It's a very traditional, period correct piece that will be a nice conversation starter wherever you go. Specialty Model As that haven't been chopped up or modified into something that loses all of its inherent charm are becoming increasingly hard to find

I see her everywhere. I see her in windows, glass doors, water, mirrors; I see her in my reflection. Memories of our childhood haunt me every time I get a glimpse of my face, a face almost indistinguishable from hers. We used to share everything, Kara and I, but now that our connection has been severed, I feel lost, faceless. Kara was always a better version of me: extroverted whilst I was introverted, confident whilst I was shy, popular whilst I was unpopular, intelligent whilst I was average. Yet we were inseparable as children. Sometimes we could just look at each other and know exactly what the other was thinking - a telepathic connection wired by our matching genes.
When I was in primary school I accidently threw a ball through a classroom window, shattering the glass and nearly breaking a teacher's nose. The classmates who had witnessed it ran to tell on me, whilst I ran crying to the bathroom. Kara found me there, and as I explained the situation, her face lit up. "Give me your jacket and skirt," she ordered. I did as she said, accepting the clothes she shoved at me in exchange. When we had dressed, I followed her, bewildered, to the teacher. "It was me, miss. I'm really sorry," she said, staring levelly, as always, in the face of authority. As she was ushered to the headteacher's office, she turned around and flashed a 'thank me later' smile before turning the corner.
I used to feel both inexplicably lucky and cursed for being Kara's twin. When we were alone, we treated each other as equals, sharing secrets and playing games that no one else understood. But at school it was different – she was with the popular group whilst I had only two close friends. She often ignored me at school, passing by me at lunch without even a wave. It wasn't particularly important that I was her twin, but when people realised that she was mine, their eyes would widen in awe and confusion that someone as remarkable as her was related to someone as unremarkable as me.
One day, when I was fifteen, a new student joined our school, arriving in the middle of a maths class. "Do you mind if I sit here?" she asked, motioning to the chair next to mine.
"Sure," I smiled, moving my bag and shifting over. She leaned over to look at my book, and having seen my name, paused and said "Oh, you're Kara's sister," with a wistful look in her eye. Rage raced through my veins and it took all my strength to supress the urge to scream and cry at the same time. The girl cocked her head in confusion. "Aren't you?" Before I knew what I was doing, I had slapped her hard across the face and was running out of the classroom. I climbed over the school gates and ran all the way home, sobbing. I can still remember the icy pain in my lungs from running in the early winter air, and the strange feeling of freedom from crying publicly, unashamed.
I will always be 'Kara's twin'. Over the years I've started to resent her for this, blaming her for my lack of identity. That's why I started to separate myself from her, blocking her out of my life. I dyed my hair, began acting differently – I even contemplated getting a tattoo. But still I see her in myself; her ghostly image follows me like a shadow. I used to cover all the mirrors at home, trying to free myself from her, but it didn't work. That's why I sought help, why I'm here now. She's all I've ever known – I have always existed in the context of Kara, so who am I without her?

Spaces in Transition at Hanmi Gallery
I didn't take Hanmi Gallery's claims about 'Spaces in Transition' seriously enough. I read the disclaimer they attached to the exhibition literature lightly – the forewarning that this exhibition was being held in the midst of the gallery's major renovation project. I took it as a side note – a self-deprecating remark on the gallery's part to excuse itself from harsh criticism from guests who would find the crumbling walls and creaking floors unprofessional.
But, since when has shabby-chic not been accepted in the contemporary art world? Hirst and pal's start-up exhibition Freeze, was held in a disused London Port Authority buildings in the docklands, and the talk of last summer – The Tanks at Tate – were a series of pieces performed in a cave-like structures that had been dug into the side of the Turbine Hall (hardly a glamorous building itself). That was the art-world being edgy (and all its try-hard connotations). This isn't.
It's such a neat collection of high definition, sharply-focused photographs of desolate stretches, derelict power plants and deserted dwellings. So while the setting – the gallery – comes as an extension of the works, there remains a pleasing contrast established between the neglected scenes (inside and outside of photo's edge) and the photographer's eye which attends to it in an adoring manner. It's just the fortuitous circumstances (so I believe) of the gallery's very own space in transition.
One of the photographers, Fernando Perez Fraile, spoke to me of this desire specifically – to look for beauty in the details – but all four of the photographs identify scenes of considerable natural beauty (a term that takes on new meaning in this exhibition). The gallery itself provides concrete evidence that in any environment there are snapshots of beauty. Once we are able to appreciate the subtly of natural beauty in the photographs, the gallery no longer appears a space which is simply apt, but is charming, characterful and no longer obtrusive on the eye.
The dialogue between the setting and works is one that sustains – the photographs responding to the space immediate to it. As an architect as well as photographer, Fernardo Perez Fraile fostered this conversation between canvas and context with a great degree of intention, and the results are delightful. 'Cry' pictures lava-like ash, drip as though tears down a rubble wall. The artist then aligned the cascades with a considerable crack that divided the concrete wall behind. The photograph hung to its right, '68' has the light within it enhanced by the natural light of the room, which also streams in from the right.
Like the gallery, currently being transformed – its walls bare, wood un-sanded and brickwork exposed – the works are intensely tactile. A visitor who was partially sighted, described the rare sense of depth he felt looking at 'Collisions 2'; and the shredded turquoise wallpaper of Fernando's 'Greenish' and Paul Tucker's 'Under the Surface 9' extends to the viewer.
Underpinning this textural overcoat, all the photographs have a satisfying sense of structure, whether whole rooms or a series of slacks on a door. A reminder that the core of any structure remains even while the superficial qualities of a space shift. Looking into people-less place, one realises that an inhabitant's residue rests in a space sometime after they are gone. The residue may be literally – scribbles on a wall – or found in a more abstract sense. A place, in the eyes of a beholder, is never really empty. We look for life within, either by searching for human features amongst barren places as Fernando identifies – there are tears on walls ('Cry') and mouths for ladders ('Ugly Face'), or we look inside of ourselves to find social significance to what would otherwise appear as silent.
The success of this exhibition certainly comes in the interplay of art and its context, which strengthens the conceptual impact of the works, which are independently striking images. The cohesion of the exhibition in this clumsy shabby-chic setting is pleasing, and it is only Chris King's work on the ground floor that, although aligns well with the theme of 'Spaces in Transitions,' speaks of spaces (mostly roadside shots from the USA) and transition (mostly that induced by travel rather than time) in terms which appear lost amongst the rest. Alfonso Batalla, Fernando Perez Fraile and Paul Tucker work is striking collectively because of the cohesion of their concepts. I could give a lengthy spiel of the beauty of these images individually, but that I think you should see.
For me, the adventure of discovering these works in a context you constantly feel you have intruded upon, is a picture both of the photographers who approached their subjects with intrepidation and investigative eyes, and of the viewer who has that exhilarating feeling coming to an exhibition, that they've made a discovery they won't wish to forget. This is how we ought to experience art.

Life is smoother in the air these days. The latest statistics from the Department of Transportation show that flight delays, customer complaints and mishandled baggage reports all dropped significantly in May.
The study found that more than 81 percent of flights arrived on time during the month, up from about 72 percent in May 2000. Consumer complaints to the federal government dropped from 2.5 percent to 1.6 percent of air travelers year-over-year, while 3.7 percent of passengers filed mishandled baggage reports compared with 4.8 percent last year.
"This is a dramatic improvement," says Norman Strickman, DOT's assistant director for aviation consumer protection. "We were seeing record numbers of complaints last year. The on-time performance was certainly not good and mishandled baggage claims were also not good."
But don't send flowers to your favorite airline yet.
Strickman credits the progress to a number of factors, including, "Efforts on part of the FAA, airlines improving customer service ... and consumers, who are giving themselves more time to check in and getting more flight information in advance of going to the airport."
Dial up, check-in
American Airlines AMR, +2.09% frequent fliers can now check-in over the telephone. Executive Platinum, Platinum and Gold members of its Aadvangage program can call up to three hours ahead of departure, navigate a series of prompts over the phone and head straight to the gate, where membership cards are checked. The service is available to passengers traveling domestically with an electronic ticket. They will receive 500 bonus miles each time they use the system through October 31.
Southwest pulls out
Southwest Airlines LUV, -0.52% has yanked its fares from the Orbitz travel website. The carrier, which said the Web site was displaying inaccurate information, had filed suit against Orbitz last May, alleging that its airline backers were getting preferential treatment. Orbitz is co-owned by the nation's five-biggest airlines: American, United UAL, +0.18% Delta DAL, +1.19% Northwest NWAC and Continental CAL, +1.34% Last week Southwest withdrew its flight data from the Airline Tariff Publishing Co., which supplies information to travel agents and Web sites, including Orbitz. Travelers will now have to go directly to http://www.southwest.com to get Southwest fares online.
Delta kills DC-Boston shuttle; cuts fares
The Delta Shuttle will stop flying between Boston and the nation's capital this fall. Blaming low demand, the airline said it would discontinue the route September 1. Delta's regional partner Atlantic Coast Airlines ACAI will pick-up the route, starting with four daily flights and increasing to eight flights in October. In the meantime, Delta is offering cheap off-peak fares for this route, as well as Boston-New York and New York to Washington shuttles. Get more details at http://www.delta.com.
Northwest fare sale
Northwest Airlines is running a sale for individuals and companions traveling to most destinations in the U.S., Canada, Asia and Europe through July 27. For North American flights, tickets must be purchased 14 days in advance for travel between July 26 and December 16. Trans-Atlantic travel must originate from September 8 through October 31 and be completed by November 30. The Trans-Pacific travel period is from September 9 through December 8, with travel completed by December 16. The best fares are offered for travel Monday through Thursday. More information is at http://www.nwa.com.
New routes
JetBlue Airways will begin daily service between Washington's Dulles International Airport and Long Beach, Calif., beginning October 8. The carrier will also launch daily service from Dulles to Oakland, Calif., and will add a third daily nonstop from New York's JFK airport to Oakland.
American Airlines will start offering five daily roundtrip flights from Dulles to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on September 5.
Northwest Airlines and its affiliate, Express Airlines I, will begin service October 1 between Savannah, Ga., and its Detroit hub with three daily nonstop flights. It will also begin offering two daily nonstops between Lake Charles, La., and its Memphis hub that same day. Northwest and its Mesaba affiliate will add another nonstop route between Detroit and Toledo, Ohio, on September 1.
Continental Express will begin twice-daily nonstop service between Lexington, Ky., and its Houston hub, effective October 1.
Delta Express is beefing up between the Northeast and Florida. The airline will add an additional two flights between New York's JFK airport and Fort Lauderdale, for a total of six daily flights, effective October 1. Delta Express will also offer an additional flight between Newark and West Palm Beach and an additional flight between Boston and Fort Myers, beginning November 1.

Virginia Republicans slam gun-control hoaxers who used photo of children's shoes at Auschwitz
A Facebook page claiming to belong to the Republican Party of Virginia Beach published a post on Sunday – riddled with spelling mistakes and accompanied by a photo of children's shoes at Auschwitz – that claimed the Holocaust could have been prevented if Europe's Jews had guns.
"To all the kids that walked out of school to protest guns. These are the shoes of Jews that gave up there (sic) firearms to Hitler. They where (sic) led into gas chambers, murdered and buried in mass graves."
The post proceeded to warn student protesters that the same fate would befall Americans if they gave up their Second Amendment rights.
While it has since been deleted, the copycat page was verified by Facebook, and went by the name "Virginia Beach Republicans." The party's real page is called "Republican Party of Virginia Beach." Reposted messages from local Republican politicians after the hoax message went viral.
Virginia Republican Senator Bill DeSteph described the post as "insensitive and offensive," while Congressman Scott Taylor urged his followers to make sure they were following the correct page.
"Some people like to stir things and love attention and/or relevancy," Taylor added. Neither politician mentioned the timing of the post – Sunday was April Fool's Day.
One reply to DeSteph's post alleges that an admin of the hoax page had previously worked as a volunteer for the senator's campaign. Another alleges that the hoax page had three times as many followers as the official Republican Party of Virginia Beach page.
This issue of gun control has dominated US media since the Parkland school shooting in Florida last February. The "March For Our Lives" campaign, organized by a group of teenage survivors of the tragedy, brought around 500,000 people to Washington DC to protest against America's gun laws last month.

Today I got to go visit the Dexter crew, and work with them for a couple hours, oh how I have missed this group! My friend needed me to cover him for a couple hours so I went. They were shooting semi close to my house which made it even better. It was just so great to see everyone. Almost the whole cast was there today as well as the crew I have grown to know so well over many years.
Here are some shots from season 7, now that they've aired I can share with you some of the scenes I was there for!

Your Horse's Quiet Place
Getting your horse to drop his head gives him a serene, quiet place to be. It's a great horse-training technique.
September 10, 2015
From AQHA Professional Horsewoman and Certified Horsemanship Association instructor Julie Goodnight.
Your horse's head is like a needle on a gauge - it can signify your horse's mental state. When his head comes up in any increment, the horse is tensing; when the head lowers, he is relaxing. When the horse is poised for flight, the head is all the way up, and when he is most relaxed, his nose is all the way to the ground. Signs of relaxation in the horse are synonymous with the signs of subordinance, because once the horse accepts your authority, he can relax and doesn't have to worry, think or make any decisions.
Dropping the nose to the ground signals a horse's willingness to accept your authority and his desire to be allowed into your herd. When you show good leadership to your horse, you should see this gesture often, and you should learn to watch for it.
We can teach the horse to drop his nose on command, giving him the same feeling of relaxation and subordinance. This cue comes in handy especially for highly nervous or irritable horses.
The Method
- With your horse in a rope halter, simply put two fingers on the fiador knot (below the horse's chin) and put light pressure on the halter. The amount of pressure you apply is equal to just putting your index and middle fingers on top of the knot. Don't try to pull the horse's head down - just apply a tiny amount of pressure and wait for the horse to give you the correct response to get the release.
- When the head drops in any increment, even just a fraction of an inch, release the pressure and praise him, then ask again, releasing the pressure immediately at the first sign of movement in the right direction.
- The first 4-6 inches of head drop are the hardest to get, but if your release is immediate, your horse will quickly understand what you want. Then, you can hold the pressure a little bit longer until you get more drop. Soon, his head will plunge all the way down with the lightest pressure.
- In the beginning of this training procedure, squat down as your horse lowers his head, praising and comforting him. But don't kneel or sit around a horse; you should always be on your feet so you can get out of the way if things go wrong.
Visit www.juliegoodnight.com to learn more about teaching your horse to drop his head, including using this technique from the saddle.

All the vision, passion and energy behind an organization would fail to yield the right results if the company fails to attract the right human capital to its fold. The use of recruitment process outsourcing, or RPO as it is popularly known, is a good choice for companies, which may not have the time or resources to build relevant recruitment skills or the right brand image in the recruitment space. An expert recruiter who provides the required services can ensure the success of the organization in reaching its goals; but the best of them also fail, if the organization does not adopt certain procedures, which we shall consider here.
The organization needs to provide a clear mandate on the parameters governing the work to the recruiter, specifying its particular requirements as well as acceptable and unacceptable attributes. If it was seeking to meet its diversity goals, such information should also be specified at the outset. The best way to ensure that these stipulations will be adhered to is to incorporate the SLAs (or Service Level Agreements) into the contract.
Setting SLAs:
Some of the usual SLAs that govern the outcomes of a recruitment contract include the following to ensure that the recruiter/service provider delivers valuable talent to the organization, with built-in penalties for any failure to do so.
Managing the RPO:
The management of the relation requires the identification of a specific point of contact within the organization to who sets a process and schedule in to interact, monitor and collaborate with the recruiter on a regular/daily basis depending on the quantum of work assigned. The various stakeholders within the organization need to be kept in the loop of developments and participate in the assessment process to measure the performance against the SLAs; and provide inputs and suggest action points to remove the process pain points and ensure improved delivery standards and impose the penalties, if required. The measure of the ultimate success of the outsourcing effort will be directly proportionate to the such investments of time and effort.
A decision perhaps linked with the need for faster progression and movement in the early stage of careers in order to get on the property ladder and start a family.

While no local outdoor track and field team took home a state title this past blistering Saturday, there was much triumph and plenty to hail for runners, jumpers and throwers from Falmouth, Freeport, Greely, North Yarmouth Academy and Yarmouth.
A year ago, the Falmouth boys' team finished in a tie with York for the top spot and for much of Saturday at the Class B state meet in Bath, it looked like there wouldn't be much separating the Yachtsmen, Wildcats and Waterville as they jockeyed for first place.
Ultimately, Waterville proved a little too strong and entering the final event of the day, the 4×400 relay, Falmouth needed to win and have the Purple Panthers finish sixth or fail to score, but that was too tall an order. Grant Burfeind, Alex Gowen, Andy Clement and Azad Jalali posted a season-best time of 3 minutes, 35.03 seconds, but that was only good for second as Waterville won in 3:33.71, taking the meet with 96 points, to the Yachstmen's 87.5 (York placed third with 66). Greely (40) came in sixth and Yarmouth (16) tied Caribou for 14th place.
Falmouth had plenty of highlights, but the biggest came in the 400 when Jacob Buhelt came from behind to nip York's Joe Vogel (51.0 seconds to 51.16).
"Coming around the first corner, I wasn't going as fast as I should have been going," Buhelt said. "Joe passed me and that helped a lot because I paced off of him. Coming around to the back corner, he wasn't pulling away and I decided to make my move. I owe the race to Joe, because I wouldn't have had the back straight without him. I was just able to outkick him at the end. It was hard for a guy like me with Danish, French and German skin. The sun kills me."
"We don't dominate anywhere, but Jacob came out of the blue and proved me wrong," Yachtsmen coach Danny Paul said. "That's Jacob. He's special."
In addition to the 1,600 relay team, Falmouth runners-up included Buhelt in the 200 (23.34), Azad Jalali in the 800 (2 minutes, .69 seconds) and the 400 relay squad (Buhelt, Burfiend, Gowen and Clement, 44.36).
Buhelt added a third-place finish in the 100 (11.53). Tony St. Angelo placed third in the high jump (5 eeet, 10 inches). Andrew Thornton placed third in the pole vault (13 feet) and was sixth in the triple jump (40-0.75). Gowen tied for fourth in the pole vault (13-0) and finished sixth in the 100 (11.74). Clement was fourth in the 300 hurdles (43.92). Bryce Murdick finished fourth in the two-mile (10:09.08). Scott Lambert was fifth in the two-mile (10:09.18). Burfeind placed fifth in the 100 (11.71) and came in sixth in the long jump (20-2.5). Andy Roukey was sixth in the racewalk (9:13.74). Shreyas Joshi finished seventh in the javelin (122-10). The 3,200 relay team (Spencer Brown, Eric Britton, Josh Simensky and Sean Soucy) was seventh (8:51.32).
"We had a great day," Paul said. "It came down to the last event. We were hoping to score about 70 and we got almost 90. We get a lot of things from a lot of places. Grant's an amazing athlete. He hasn't been healthy, but he came in and did what we thought he could do. We hadn't run (the 4×4 relay) with Grant or Alex Gowen all year. The two of them came to us and wanted to run that relay. Azad had an amazing meet. Our distance runners had solid performances. Given the conditions, I'm thrilled. I have a ton of respect for Waterville and York."
The Rangers were led by their 3,200 relay team (Dan Ray, Ryan Morrison, Nate Madeira and Liam Campbell), which was runner-up to Ellsworth in 8:29.19. James Ferrar placed third in the shot put (43-3). Nick Maynard was third in the triple jump (41-1.5) and fifth in the long jump (20-5.75). Jacob Isaacson was fourth in the 200 (23.72). Campbell finished fourth in the mile (4:35.76). Madeira came in fifth in the mile (4:35.81). Ben Giffard was seventh in the 110 hurdles (17.7). Greely's 1,600 relay team (Chris Perry, Ryder White, Ian Byron and Campbell) was fifth (3:41.47) and the 400 squad (Perry, Ferrar, Andrew Therriault and Isaacson) finished sixth (46.2).
"The boys did a great job today," said Greely coach John Folan. "I'm really happy. We hoped realistically for top five. We knew we'd be moderately close. The seniors stepped up. We did some good things. Points here, points there."
Yarmouth featured Ben Decker, who was second in the 800 (9:47.24). Wes Crawford placed fourth in the 800 (2:03.12). Darren Shi came in fourth in the shot put (43-0).
In the girls' meet, Waterville won its seventh straight title as its 136 points were more than double that of runner-up Lake Region (64). Greely (58.5) was fourth, 1.5 points behind Winslow. Falmouth (38) placed sixth. Yarmouth (17) came in 13th.
The Rangers saw Gwen Sawyer cap her solid high school career with a win in the shot put (38-10), carrying on Greely's unrivaled recent throwing tradition in the process.
"I'm really happy with what I got," said Sawyer, who will throw at Assumption College next year, where she'll study political science and pre-law. "It's like a state of mind. You have to be in the zone. It really helps when you have great girls with you. I've known a lot of them for four years now. Our coach, Dennis O'Brien, is fantastic and I've gotten to train with (Olympic hopeful) Becky (O'Brien) this season. She's an amazing person."
Kirstin Sandreuter was runner-up to Waterville's Bethanie Brown in both the mile (5:07.97) and the two-mile (11:25.78). Jessica Wilson came in third in the mile (5:19.69). Alyssa Cesarez finished third in the discus (102-10) and was fifth in the shot put (31-0). Hannah Keisman was fourth in the 300 hurdles (48.3). Sarah Ingraham placed fifth in the long jump (15-7). Nina Oberg tied for sixth in the pole vault (8 feet). Siana Emery was sixth in the racewalk (9:04.93). Greely's 3,200 relay (Sophia Stickney, Julia Ramseyer, Susan Badrinas and Wilson) was third (10:11.47). The 400 relay (Madison McKenney, Ingraham, Molly Fitzpatrick and Keisman) came in seventh (54.74).
"We didn't harbor any illusions of beating Waterville at this particular point," Folan said. "When it's this hot, it's crazy. It's a shell-shock. You can't count on kids in this. Some respond well, some not so well.
The Rangers will be hit hard by graduation, but will be right back in the mix in 2014.
"I have 17 senior girls and 10 senior boys, but we do have some good people coming back," Folan said.
Falmouth's top finisher was Charlotte Cutshall, runner-up in the long jump (16-7). She was also seventh in the 100 (13.38). Madeline Roberts finished third in the two-mile (11:53.53). Nevada Horne was fourth in the pole vault (8-6). Kalieigh Wimert was fifth in the racewalk (8:59.26). Vishva Nalamalapu came in sixth in the two-mile (12:03.8). Maggie Seitz finished seventh in the triple jump (31-10.5). Alta Farrell placed seventh in the mile (5:35.97)
The Yachtsmen came in third in the 400 relay (Seitz, Emma Van Wickler, Jillian Rothweiler and Cutshall, 52.59), fifth in the 3,200 relay (Cassie Darrow, Denali Nalamalapu, Roberts and Alexa Hoffman, 10:32.69) and fifth in the 1,600 (Seitz, Sarah Sparks, Rothweiler and Darrow, 4:19.35).
"The girls did well," said Paul. "It was Waterville's to lose. They've been good for so long."
Yarmouth had a pair of runners-up, Megan Smith in the pole vault (9-0) and Emma Egan in the high jump (4-10). Egan was also seventh in the long jump (15-7).
The North Yarmouth Academy boys tied Lisbon for fourth place in the Class C meet with 42 points. Foxcroft Academy won with 75. Freeport (20) tied Monmouth and Sacopee for 14th.
The Panthers got wins from Jake Burns in the 300 hurdles (40.15) and their 400 relay team (Dean Walters, Michael McIntosh, El Tayeb Dahia and Burns, 45.79).
Burns was fifth in the 110 hurdles (16.57). McIntosh came in fifth in the 100 (11.81) and the 200 (24.04). Matt Malcom was fifth in the mile (4:51.72). Walters came in sixth in the 200 (24.14). Walters, McIntosh, Dahia and Burns were second in the 1,600 relay (3:37.34).

The front of their flyer says, "Want to really help? Don't send more people to the beach. And leave the turtles alone."
Alternatively, you could make your way towards the south of Juara and put in some physical effort here in a bid to improve the health of sea turtles' population and conserve their breeding grounds.
Volunteers can stay at the sanctuary for 120RM a night, including breakfast and lunch, and partake in housekeeping and conservation activities. You'll have to do the mundane things like cutting the grass and cleaning the rooms, but you'll also participate in night time beach patrols and releasing of the baby turtles when they hatch, which would undoubtedly make for an enriching experience.
Sea turtles are at risk of extinction within 50 years and every small part counts. Even if you don't have time, a donation will help to keep this place going. Alternatively, choose to stay at Barook River View or the Juara Lagoon, just a short walk further south, where parts of the proceeds goes to funding the project.
