Some of you may or may not know. DearMyrtle had a Kindle give away at their website. (Jumping up and down) I won! That was last Friday.
This afternoon my daughter called me at the Family History Center and said... "Mom! Your Kindle arrived! May I look at it?" I said, "Well, okay. It will be another 5 hours before I get home....don't fiddle with it!"
She didn't, but the minute I walked in the house she was at my door with the box. What excitement we were given!...
Thank you DearMyrtle for the opportunity for entering your drawing. I never in a million years thought I would win something so nice. Here are some pictures.
|It has my name on it now!... Thanks again!

text: Locus of Control refers to the extent to which individuals believe that they can control events that affect them. Individuals with a high internal locus of control believe that events result primarily from their own behaviour and actions. Those with a high external locus of control believe that powerful others, fate, or chance primarily determine events. Those with a high internal locus of control have better control of their behaviour and tend to exhibition more political behaviours than externals and are more likely to attempt to influence other people; they are more likely to assume that their efforts will be successful. They are more active in seeking information and knowledge concerning their situation than do externals. The propensity to engage in political behaviour is stronger for individuals who have a high internal locus of control than for those who have a high external locus of control.

Must-haves of the Season…
1. My jade jacquard J.Crew Collection café capris and Fair Isle turtleneck sweater that I'll wear belted.
2. I'm totally obsessed with the Dries Van Noten dragon jacket.
3. A Haider Ackermann elongated jersey knit pencil skirt with killer pointed stilettos.
4. Dannijo's metal collar necklace, which I'll pair with everything from a T-shirt to a sweater.
Must-sees, Must-dos in Hong Kong…
1. Go to Shek O, located in a sleepy beach village, for Thai food. It's a hidden gem.
2. Even Hong Kong has a surf culture. For the best wakeboarding, head to Big Wave Bay.
3. For shopping, visit the Jade Market, where you'll find great-priced pieces.
Style Mantra…
Everyone should have a signature piece. Mine is a biker or tuxedo jacket. Your forever go-to item will become the pivotal piece in your closet that you can build your wardrobe around. Style shouldn't be about making sure you have every trend of the season checked off to be deemed relevant!

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is the BEST school by far ! Teachers support their students on a one on one level and are here for the parents whenever they need them. We have been in one other school district which was NOT good & we moved to Pontotoc & she was enrolled in Pontotoc Elementary & we have never, ever seen such love between student, teachers and principal ever. They want the parents involved, the principal knows you by name, the teachers strive to make the childs schooling experience fun and educational. Thank You Pontotoc Elementary !
Because of great parents like this, we have great schools. I appreciate the compliments and the 'I think it could be better if' statements. Thanks to teachers, staff, and community we work hard together.
In 2003 my family moved to Pontotoc simply for what Pontotoc schools offered the children. Overall I have been very pleased. The teachers are really good and I can't seem to say enough wonderful things about the principle and the counselor. With the few problems that my children have had, which is to be expected throughout any child's school years. They have been handled very fast and very discretly for my child's sake as to not cause them any further problems. I also like the fact that this schools gives my child the opportunity to participate in bible classes and they don't condemn them from praying. This means so much to me and my family. Also, the music teacher is absolutely wonderful with the children. She makes music so much for everyone. I would reccommend Pontotoc Elementary to anyone. I love this school and the faculty that is there.
For the most part this school is really good. They do take away from the 'want to go to school' for kindergarten because of the discipline on talking. Children want to go to school, but get greatly discouraged over bad marks on talking. But they really teach the children advanced learning for Kingergarten.

Soak cashews in water for 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender with cinnamon and honey and blend until smooth. Season with salt and refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week. Serve with apple and/or pear slices.
The flavor is nice, but they should specify that you have to pour off the water before transferring the cashews only to a blender. I read this recipe several times before transferring the cashews and water to the blender. So, I just wasted some pricey raw cashews :(Reply

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has partnered with Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and Toyota in support of their "Buckle Up for Life" initiative to improve the safety of child passengers.
Studies show that Hispanic and African American children are, for a variety of reasons, significantly less likely than non-Hispanic and non-African American children to be buckled up in seat belts or car seats and, as a result are at greater risk in motor vehicle crashes.
In response, Toyota created Buckle Up for Life, or Abróchate a la Vida – a national, community-based injury prevention initiative. The program works with local hospitals and churches to address the economic, cultural and, where appropriate, language barriers to motor vehicle safety in the Hispanic and African American communities.The program is a comprehensive, culturally sensitive faith-based approach designed to raise awareness and increase use of motor vehicle restraints and to empower the African American and Hispanic communities to live safer, healthier lives.
Over a six-week period, Buckle Up for Life's medical experts and trained specialists work closely with participants of all ages to deliver vital safety information. Program participants are eligible to receive free car seats, and are matched with certified child passenger safety technicians to help install the seats and ensure that children are properly restrained.
In one pilot city, the program nearly tripled the number of children properly buckled up among the families who participated. Buckle Up for Life programs have reached Cincinnati, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Antonio and are now expanding to Houston, Las Vegas, Orange County and Philadelphia.

Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump acknowledged the disappointment of Trayvon Martin's supporters, ranking the teen alongside civil rights heroes Medgar Evers and Emmett Till in the history of the fight for equal justice. However, Crump said, "for Trayvon to rest in peace, we must all be peaceful."
Martin's family maintained the teen was not the aggressor, and prosecutors suggested Martin was scared because he was being followed by a stranger. Defense attorneys, however, said Martin knocked Zimmerman down and was slamming the older man's head against the concrete sidewalk when Zimmerman fired his gun.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Prosecutors called Zimmerman a liar and portrayed him as a "wannabe cop" vigilante who had grown frustrated by break-ins in his neighborhood committed primarily by young black men. Zimmerman assumed Martin was up to no good and took the law into his own hands, prosecutors said.
State Attorney Angela Corey said after the verdict that she believed second-degree murder was the appropriate charge because Zimmerman's mindset "fit the bill of second-degree murder."
"We charged what we believed we could prove," Corey said.
Zimmerman also had some supporters outside the courthouse, including Cindy Lenzen, 50, of Casslebury, and her brother, 52-year-old Chris Bay, who stood watching others chant slogans such as, "the whole system's guilty."
Lenzen and Bay — who are white — called the entire case "a tragedy," especially for Zimmerman.
"It's a tragedy that he's going to suffer for the rest of his life," Bay said. "No one wins either way. This is going to be a recurring nightmare in his mind every night."
Before a special prosecutor assigned to the case ordered Zimmerman's arrest, thousands of protesters had gathered in Sanford, Miami, New York and elsewhere, many wearing hoodies like the one Martin had on the night he died. They also carried Skittles and a can of iced tea, items Martin had in his pocket. Obama also had weighed in, saying that if he had a son, "he'd look like Trayvon."
Despite the racially charged nature of the case, race was barely mentioned at the trial.
"This case has never been about race or the right to bear arms," Corey said. "We believe this case all along was about boundaries, and George Zimmerman exceeded those boundaries."
One of the few mentions of race came from witness Rachel Jeantel, the Miami teen who was talking to Martin by phone moments before he was shot. She testified that he described being followed by a "creepy-ass cracker" as he walked through the neighborhood.
Jeantel gave some of the trial's most riveting testimony. She said she overheard Martin demand, "What are you following me for?" and then yell, "Get off! Get off!" before his cellphone went dead.
The jurors had to sort out clashing testimony from 56 witnesses in all, including police, neighbors, friends and family members.
Associated Press writers Tamara Lush in Sanford; Kelli Kennedy, Suzette Laboy and David Fischer in Miami; and Julie Pace in Washington contributed to this report.

OHIO -- A judge has again blocked an Ohio hospital from forcing a 10-year-old Amish girl to resume chemotherapy after her parents decided to stop the treatments.
The order comes a week after an appeals court sent the case back to the judge and told him to give more consideration to the request by Akron Children's Hospital.
The hospital wants limited guardianship of Sarah Hershberger to decide whether the Medina County girl should continue treatments for leukemia. Doctors believe Sarah will die without chemotherapy.
But Judge John Lohn said in his ruling that not allowing the parents to make medical decisions for their daughter would take away their rights, and said there is no guarantee the chemotherapy would be successful.
The girl's family stopped treatment because it was making her extremely sick.

A perfect ski house for our extended family
This is a beautiful, well-designed, spacious house! We were so delighted when we entered--fresh flowers and homemade gingerbread on the kitchen island and plenty of space for all that we needed for meals for a week of skiing for a family of ten. It is authentically Vermont, not something designed to simulate an old Vermont farmhouse. The house has so much character, with rustic beams and old paneling throughout the downstairs, yet is bright, spacious and beautifully designed for comfort. Three bathrooms, all with showers, and one so big our toddler called it her bedroom, made for easy living. All of the bedrooms, prettily wallpapered, have their own stove heaters, so we could all adjust to our own temperature needs while sleeping. The kitchen was perfectly appointed with plenty of everything we needed and nice touches, too, e.g., napkins and paper towels were included and basic staples for cooking were on the shelves. One had the feeling that we were guests and friends of the owners, not renters. The decorating was perfect--very pretty and fresh, but not overdone. They wasn't a wrong note anywhere you cast your eye in the house. Beautiful and interesting pictures on the wall added so much interest. The linens were cozy and pretty as well. The master bedroom was beautiful and large,with a soaring ceiling and sky lights (with shades) and ample room for a cot. The dining table was big enough for all of us and situated nicely between the open kitchen and the living room. There was even a den off to the side, which was great for those who needed to catch up with work. Another corner with a desk was tucked in an area in the living room away from traffic, which was happily used by my daughter-in-law. We never heard a peep from the owners, but it was nice to know they were there. We mentioned by phone message a small problem (an ice dam, there being so much snow) and Lynn had someone out that very afternoon to fix it. Toward the end of the week, we met the owners and had a chance to chat. They are both just lovely! it was a perfect home for us. The house is located very nicely on a main road and very close to a large grocery store that had everything we needed, even fresh clams! It was 20 minutes to Stratton Mt. We will definitely rent the house again if everyone can get away! The home was perfectly clean when we arrived and easy to maintain during the busy week. I would recommend this property to anyone!
There's only one word to describe the experience we had, Magnificent! The house is such a quality home that you can tell it was built and decorated with a lot of pride and attention to detail. All the people involved with the property are very responsive to any questions or concerns and were a pleasure to work with. The only drawback was that we had to leave. Hopefully this will become a yearly tradition for our family with a longer stay in future years.
Steve Barcan
This is a lovely spacious home, very clean and bright, and perfect for our ski vacation. There were 10 people in our group. It was very convenient to Stratton and Bromley, and the shops in Londonderry. The house is very well stocked and nicely furnished. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and the instructions for the house, how to reach the caretaker and use the systems was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Marc Trestman is looking for a fresh start with the Chicago Bears.
Every coach on the offensive side of the football has been let go since the hiring of Trestman as the team's 14th head coach in its history.
Bears confirm Tice, Babich, Bates, DeBord, Drake, Holt, Spencer let go.— vaughn mcclure (@vxmcclure23) January 18, 2013
The offense was terrible for Chicago this year, at times looking lost as they were unable to put points on the board. Trestman was hired to fix that and has removed every member from that unit as a whole.
Mike Tice was brought to Chicago two years ago as the team's offensive line coach, and was promoted to offensive coordinator this season. Despite having both Tice and Tim Holt — the team's offensive line coach this year — on the sideline, that particular unit was embarrassed all year and the squad finished in the Top 10 in sacks allowed this season.
Darryl Drake, the team's wide receivers coach who has been with the organization since 2004 has also been let go. As well as tight ends coach Mike DeBord and running backs coach Tim Spencer.
The most surprising firing may have been quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates, who has a great chemistry with Jay Cutler dating back to their days together with the Denver Broncos.
Trestman in, means many others out. It will be interesting to see which coaches he chooses to fill all these holes in the Chicago Bears' coaching staff.

A live pre-show "Wizard of ODD" promises to be bananas, featuring the Tin Tran, The Scare-Ho, Glen or Glenda the Good Witch, and more. Bonus: Peaches herself playing "Peachy Gale" (aka Dorothy?) and one of the only RuPaul drag thingies I can remember the name of, Sharon Needles, as the Wicked Witch of the West. Don't ask what happens to Toto.

Less than a week after being re-elected mayor of Hialeah, Carlos Hernández announced that he will submit to the council an ordinance to prohibit naming any city property after a living person.
"This is an ordinance that has been in the works for months and has nothing to do with the elections," Hernández told El Nuevo Herald. "People have been criticizing that in Hialeah public buildings and parks are named after living elected officials."
Hernández said on Sunday that the measure is a response to criticism from Hialeah residents that adds to questioning from other communities of the abusive practice of naming city properties to promote living politicians.
The ordinance named "Historic Preservation" presented by Hernández was schedulef for first reading on Tuesday, according to the council's agenda.
In Hialeah, at least two city properties are named after living former elected officials: City Hall, named Raúl Martínez in honor of the former mayor, and the Roberto Casas Park, named after the former state senator.
Martínez said the ordinance could not be applied retroactively. However, he said both Hernández and the council have the right to approve a resolution that directly leads to removing the names on those properties.
"Laws are not applied retroactively," Martínez said. "But if they want to eliminate our names it's their decision. Hernández or the council cannot erase the history of my 28 years of service."
The City Hall building at 501 Palm Avenue was inaugurated in the late 1960s and named for Raúl Martínez in 2006 under then-mayor Julio Robaina's administration. Hernández and current Commissioner José Caragol were among the council members who voted in favor of the new name.
The controversy over naming public properties after controversial figures is not recent. In June 2012 Hernández's critics questioned his administration for naming a street in east Hialeah after Banah Sugar, whose owner and several of its executives were convicted of drug trafficking.
Casas considers Hernández's initiative an act of revenge against people who have criticized his administration.
"I think this is an abjection on the part of mayor Hernández," Casas said. "This is political retaliation against those who disagree with him."
Casas said his work had been crucial to obtaining about $800,000 from the state to pay for the park in west Hialeah. Once the work was finished, then-mayor Martínez decided in 2003 to name the park to honor Casas.
"These kinds of proposals are laughable," Casas said. "I really think it would be a big mistake for the mayor and the council to approve that ordinance. I wish the mayor success in his job, but he is wrong to plant more reprisals."
Hernández said he wasn't motivated by politics.
"There is no political revenge here. If that's how they want to interpret it, fine," Hernández said. "If their egos are going to be affected, that's their problem. People have been saying it very clearly, not only in this city but in many places in the United States."

Michael Bay is the talk of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas after he walked off stage following an embarrassing teleprompter glitch.Sky News reports the "Transformers" director appeared at the show for Samsung to promote their new curved, ultra high definition 105-inch TV set. But less than one minute into a scripted conversation with Joe Stinziano, the firm's executive vice president, Bay becomes flustered by an autocue glitch, draws a blank and walks off the stage.TMZ confirmed the teleprompter glitch.Bay has since admitted he "embarrassed himself."

Ringer - Upset
(Source: irishmush, via significaomundopramim)
We stopped watching doctor who after the end of ten. Now on to Ringer
I've been waiting a while to see the return of SMG to tv.
Did any of y'all watch Ringer with Sarah Michelle Gellar?
That was my shit!
I hate that it was cancelled!
Especially because they don't tie up the loose ends before cancelling
The bastards
(via releasedfromgravity)
Yes, Sadly the show was never renewed despite a large amount of fan effort trying to get the network to change their minds!
I miss this show very much. Ringer
Emily Owens got cancelled? oh… lol.
I mean I kinda liked it but I could've told the CW that was a flop. They should've kept Ringer because Sarah Michelle Gellar is flawless.
If you want more friends that share this fandom, like or reblog this post. Add one another.
Love it!

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
WHEN cold December
Froze to grisamber
The jangling bells on the sweet rose-trees--
Then fading slow
And furred is the snow
As the almond's sweet husk--
And smelling like musk.
The snow amygdaline
Under the eglantine
Where the bristling stars shine
Like a gilt porcupine--
The snow confesses
The little Princesses
On their small chioppines
Dance under the orpines.
See the casuistries
Of their slant fluttering eyes--
Gilt as the zodiac
(Dancing Herodiac).
Only the snow slides
Like gilded myrrh--
From the rose-branches--hides
Rose-roots that stir.

You can go ahead and send the Money Order to someone else...... So much hassle because you want to buy my gun.... I cant take the picture so you can get some other seller,i already did the best i could do,i sent my Military ID,more pictures of me at work and picture of my wife holding my phone number,isnt that OK enough? Just get another seller and i will get another buyer also........ Have a good night.
I want to call the CID but not sure if I should start with NJ (where I live) or IL where he wants the check sent. It's too bad the locals don't want to do ANYTHING about it- I'm sure the address he wants it sent to is an abandoned home, all they would have to do is hide a trail cam or two and snap some photos of the license plate.
It's on a dead end street, if you use Google Earth and type in the address you can even see it. Here is a link that allows you to virtually "walk down" S. Russel Street:
and here is an overview of the neighborhood and a view looking down the whole street ... I can't make out any house numbers but I bet one of you folks can figure out which one is #302. You can even see one of the neighbors well enough to ID his face! It's crazy how detailed and specific you can get using free simple Internet tools! Use the link above and try to figure out which one is #302.
Ah, Also forgot this little tidbit: he gave me the name of the bank along with details (I crossed out part of it because I'm certain some other scammer will find a way to make use of this info) . I don't think I should get involved with calling the bank, do you folks? My biggest concern is that this person may have stolen the ID of 'Danielle Gamache'. I'm going to see what comes up on Facebook using that name.
Bank Name: First Bank Of Campbell Hill
Holder's Name: Danielle R. Gamache
Account Number: 35xxx
Routing Number: 0812xxxxx

Part of the reason you can't see his house is you can not "walk" in the right direction. 302 is the on the left if you did a 180 from your street view according to Google maps.

I called the local post office and the postmaster recognized the woman in the photo. I forwarded the original email with the fraudulent ID along with her photo, the address, the phone number for the post office, and her phone number to the one CID office in IL that listed an email and the CID office in NJ along with the FBI office closest to Ava, IL. I was a little disheartened that the IL CID office email bounced (as in not working) and no one picked up the phone at any of the CID offices I called- but I did leave a message.
Hopefully it will put an end to her scheming.
I'd love to call that phone number and tell her all this but putting her on alert won't help matters, and in this day and age I would probably be charged with harassment or something.
I'll fill you folks in if I have any additional info.

There is a Danielle R. Gamache in Cutler, Il. I wouldn't be surprised if she is the scammer, using her real name. It would make the process of cashing the money order a lot easier. I am work and don't have much more time, but a quick google/facebook search turned up some possible relatives and a bunch of other info. Anyone with more time then myself could have some fun with this....

Most of the time these clowns get away with it, because as an ATF agent told me, we don't have the time to set up a sting operation, and until they actualy send the gun and take the money it's all alleged. Even if picked up it's a white collar crime unless the military gets involved, they get out the same day and do it again. Non violent crimes don't get the same type of response as crimes commited with a weapon, or a robbery mugging etc. I wish you guys the best in getting the SOB, but after wasting 2 weeks on one of these, I saw that no one but me was interested in catching them. It was the same deal, a drivers license,with an 89 year old lady whose husband passed away, Meanwhile they were running so many scams that they got the gun and my name mixed up, I called local and ATF with no interest, I did speak to the agent in charge in South FL, but he said we would have to have his bosses permision to set up a sting, and he would never be bothered for a single gun.
That's why this crap still goes on, same as credit card theft, all 3 of my neighboors have had a problem in the past year. Someone in Europe was buying musical instruments with my card, which was expired and in my safe.They get them when they hack into a stores data base. But these banks don't care, they send you a form and you fill it out and we end up paying for it in bailouts and taxes.The woman on the phone could care less when I asked her why they pu through an expired card from an American in his 60's buying a horn in Germany, without checking or calling first, she said ,"call the store" in Germany, sure i'll do that.
Too bad someone doesn't live near this person, They could knock on the door, and ask if they had the gun for sale, That would shake them up good. She wouldn't know who or what was happening. Then once you id 'd her you just might get the sherriff to arrest her.

Another Scammer on Texasguntrader.com
Outstanding work uncovering these maggots. There was a wilson cqb on texasguntrader.com a few months ago where a user was running a scam. The user was aceskit. Their email address was firstname.lastname@example.com
I asked to meet them to look over the gun. They had the audacity to try to get me to send a money order and they would "ship" it. I played along and asked for their address. Below is conversation:
From me to scammer: I am ready to send money order. What is your address?
Aces Kit firstname.lastname@example.com to me:
Address for payment below,be sure to overnight it to enable me ship ASAP and send the tracking for easy follow up
Shari King 2318-C Capitan. Corpus Christi Texas 78414
from me to scammer: if this is your real address, then do you actually think I would send you a money order overnight? hahahahaha
dude, or chic...whatever you are....so many things wrong with your scam...overnight, postal money order. you really have someone send you a money order? ***? karma is a **********
Then silence from them. Imagine that.
If you see something from Aceskit, do not trust.

Mine showed up on FL gun trader, the following day she claimed to be in Detroit. I told her she needed an FFL, she said she just picked it up. I said where? it was just so poorlly done that I was surprised that anyone fell for it. But Fl gun trader is notorious for this stuff.
Try to avoid using them unless you can do an FTF. I have gotten a couple nice deals from legit folks who were just as disgusted as I was with $400.00 kimbers and Colts.If it looks too good, "you know the rest. And also you have to be careful of being robbed by these gangs. They will make you drive out to the sticks, and meet up with you and your cash, with 2 trucks full of dirtbags.
Always set your meetings in a local gun store or major chain store. Like a Home depot.
Bring a friend, with a seperate car or truck and a rifle. It's too bad we have to worry about things like this also.

I would definitely report it to CID or the FBI. It is a federal crime to counterfeit a federal ID card, and I can straight up tell you that it is a counterfeit. there are no watermarks, there is no such thing as an "OF3" in the military, and if you look at his pic, he has full-color patches or something on his uniform. The only full color patch on an Army uniform is the American Flag, and it is on the shoulder. Also, if you look at the position of his arms, he is holding the camera, which is not something the ID card office lets you do.
Either with your shield or on it.

Both on gunbroker and auction arms as well as ebay I have passed up great listings when the seller had no feedback. They might have been legit but for high dollar items guns or guitar stuff or whatever I won't take the chance when the seller has no history.
Smaller dollar items, I have bought from no feedback new sellers and so far no problem except a $7 vase on ebay one time I never got.
Oh another thing, check what items they have sold in the past if they do have feedback. One time I saw a item I wanted on ebay that was around $400 and after checking the feedback they had only been active for a couple months and all the feedback was for $1 items which didn't seem right.
There is no absolute guarantee you'll never get burned but with some caution and common sense chances are you'll score some great stuff and have a smooth transaction.
That site listing the scam, if it won't show sellers history I would never buy....

As many have said, CID or FBI. That is a fake federal ID.
A rather pathetic attempt too.

Bottom line fellas, if the price is too good to be true, it probably is.
Somebody's been doing this on the local Armslist site too, and they're always easy to spot - They're not asking retail for their used weapons. Heh heh... If not more than retail.
Never trust a fart or a politician.

The postmaster knew the woman, she's new in town, he said he doesn't deliver there anyway so she would have never got the money order.
Say what you want about Paypal, but it's getting to the point where it's the only safe way to pay for stuff except for face to face. Using a credit card on Paypal offers 2 layers of protection and the nominal fees they charge are worth it to me.
While we are on the topic, what are some of your other suggestions to complete transactions safely? I usually insist on a phone conversation and some kind of verifiable address, workplace verification, etc.
Like it's been said- these folks are getting bolder and bolder because getting caught has zero consequence. I would hope that in this case she is at least embarrassed to be pegged as a thief in a small town, but I suppose that's why she's "new in town", a condition that petty thieves probably find themselves in a whole bunch of times over the course of their lives.

Last week an officer called me and said they were pursuing her/them- great to see they actually took the time/manpower to do this!
The lesson I come away with is that it's worth it to pursue the bad guys sometimes, if we all just are too busy to bother then we all lose.

The second week of a rebuilding season for FIU must see rebuilding within the rebuilding, specifically building back up the defense that got scorched for 576 yards and 43 points by Maryland.
Because UCF, Friday nights visitors to FIU, might be even better offensively.
Redshirt junior quarterback Blake Bortles last interception came nine days before Election Day 2012. He has thrown 16 touchdown passes since then and opened this season with his first collegiate 300-yard passing game 314 yards against Akron.
Breshad Perriman, son of former Miami Northwestern High and University of Miami star Brett Perriman, led UCF with 113 yards receiving against Akron. Among UCFs top four wide receivers, Perriman was the only one who didnt catch a pass against FIU last season.
There is experience at running back also, where former University of Miami running back Storm Johnson ran for 99 yards against Akron. But its UCFs line, which averages 303.2 pounds tackle to tackle, that most concerns FIU.
Up front, theyre very physical, FIU defensive coordinator Josh Conklin said. Their physicality is definitely something weve emphasized with our front guys, our linebackers as far as stopping the run inside. Also, on the perimeter, with some of the issues we had getting the perimeter stuff stopped last week.
At least FIU can think of it as a strength-on-strength matchup. FIUs defensive line figured to be the Panthers best unit and even in a rout that featured 251 rushing yards showed little to counter that analysis. At times, sophomore Michael Wakefield and seniors Isame Faciane and Greg Hickman overwhelmed Marylands interior.
I was really pleased with our defensive line, FIU coach Ron Turner said. They really played hard, had a tremendous attitude. They showed great leadership on the sideline. When things got bad, things got down, there wasnt any bickering, there wasnt any finger pointing. The whole defense for that matter, was encouraging everybody and being positive. That was good to see. You never know how your teams going to react when theres adversity.
And FIU gets more depth there with junior defensive end Giovani Francois and redshirt freshman defensive tackle Marques Cheeks coming back from injury. Sophomore Darrian Dyson, who didnt make the trip to Maryland, will also be in the tackle rotation.
But when Maryland quarterback C.J. Brown ran the triple option, those on the defense responsible for outside containment or the pitch man often had gone AWOL. Four option plays accounted for 133 yards of Marylands 251 yards rushing.
On the upside for FIU, Bortles works more from the pocket and runs as a way to get something from a play going nowhere.
Hes just a solid player who makes really good decisions. Anytime a guy like that can run, he causes you potential issues, Conklin said. Its almost like he throws the ball better on the run, which makes that a very difficult situation to defend at times.

Taye Drums GoKit Birch / Basswood Floor Tom Daytona Sunset Lacquer 14x11Product #H88970 Taye Drums H88970 DAE Floor Toms https://www.esnapw.com/rses/ESnapServlet?MerchantNumberSent=63655

45 day price guarantee, 45 day return policy, 100% secure shopping
An add-on floor tom designed by Taye to provide full-size sound in limited space.
The Taye GoKit Birch/Basswood Drums was conceived with the musician in mind. With a compact design, this Taye GoKit Floor Tom is ideal for small studios or drummers on the run. GoKit's 8-ply, 7mm shells are constructed from both birch and basswood giving you the brights of birch, and due to the inherent properties of basswood, the lows associated with mahogany. However, don't let the sizes fool you. A shallow drum does not reduce the tonal response of the instrument - it results in a fat yet controllable sound, making it an ideal solution for smaller venues.
Among other innovations, Taye EFS™ (Engineered For Sound) utilizes cross-lamination in the shell formation process. Cross-lamination is the method of perpendicularly alternating the direction of the wood grain within the plies, providing drums with extremely rigid shells, resulting in breathtakingly broad tuning ranges. To ensure peak resonsance and near infinite adjustment options, the mounted toms are equipped with Suspension Rings and the patented SlideTrack™ mounts so the drums can meet any sonic needs.
The snare drum features the SideLatch™ side-action release system that employs a minimum of moving parts. With a large knurled tension knob for easy snare adjustment, and the unique SlipLock feature that prevents unwanted loosening of snare tension, the SideLatch™ is strong, smooth, and flawlessly reliable. In addition, patented Studded Lug Gaskets remove any metal-to-wood contact allowing the drum to resonate more freely, delivering optimum sonic performance in all environments.
To top this drum off, Taye applied 2.3mm counterhoops to help separate them from the rest of the pack.
On the run? Recording? Practicing? Taking lessons? GoKit.

Gaylon Redwine was forced to resign from the Walker County Sheriff's Office after an internal investigation showed he violated office policy.
A Walker County, Ga., sheriff's deputy was forced to resign after an internal investigation showed he violated office policy, authorities said.
Deputy Gaylon Redwine, who was hired in July 2006, chose to resign instead of being fired, Sheriff Steve Wilson said.
The internal investigation showed Redwine, 28, had been involved in "conduct unbecoming of an officer" while he was off-duty, Wilson said.
"We are held to a higher standard, and we expect that conduct to be at that level at all times on and off duty," Wilson said.
Wilson said he wouldn't give more details until the investigation is complete, which could take several more days. Copies of the internal investigation also won't be available until the case is closed, which is standard procedure, he said.
There is no criminal case pending against Redwine, Wilson said.
No one answered the phone at Redwine's home Tuesday.
Redwine's conduct also has been reported to the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, which oversees standards and training for law officers the state, the sheriff said.
Peace Officer Standards and Training Council officials said Tuesday that no case has been opened on Redwine yet.
Redwine joined the sheriff's office in 2006 as a detention officer and, in his yearly review, he was recommend for promotion, personnel records show. When he was promoted to deputy in December 2007, he was given a raise from $10.09 an hour to $12.63 an hour, records show.
In 2009, Redwine was assigned to special operations in the office's traffic division. His personnel records show he was never disciplined in the sheriff's office.

Kathryn Serra, 8, puts on her helmet and pads then takes the football field on Saturdays.
Unlike most girls her age, Kathryn's favorite thing to do is get on the gridiron and block opponents aimed at her quarterback.
"My favorite thing about football is playing in the games," Kathryn said. "That's when I actually get to play hard."
Kathryn, a third grader at Key Biscayne K-8 Center who hopes to be a doctor for a professional football team, is the only girl in the Miami Xtreme Youth Football League, a football league for ages 5-14. This is her second year in the league and the first in the 90-pound level.
Her mother, Laura George, a speech pathologist, said being the only girl in a football league should help make her daughter a stronger person.
"I think it's fantastic," George said. "It gives her a lot of confidence that's going to help her with whatever she chooses to do with her life. She's not afraid of anything.''
Kathryn's father, David Serra, a nurse, talked about the decision to allow her to play the demanding sport.
"At the beginning we were a little skeptical because it is a very physical sport and we didn't want her to get hurt," Serra said. "After we talked to the coaches, we realized that the 75-pound level isn't too dangerous and with the equipment she'll have, she should be fine."
Kathryn's desire to play football came from watching her brother, Chuli, 7, play in the same league two years ago.
"She would come to his practices and watch them do their conditioning," George said. "She was inspired by it and has a strong bond with her brother, so she wanted to go out there and play herself."
Kathryn plays on the offensive line for the Key Biscayne Key Rats, who take on the Kendall Hammocks Warriors on Saturday at Devonaire Park in Kendall.
She is familiar with the football language and does not mind switching positions when her coaches ask her to.
"I play different positions on defense and my favorite is middle linebacker," Kathryn said. "The first time I played, I burst into the gaps and tackled the running back."
Kathryn's dedication to the game makes her easy to coach.
Felipe DeVarona, the league's athletic director and Kathryn's former coach, praised her dedication and competitiveness.
"I don't think she was just tough for being the only girl," DeVarona said. "She was simply one of the toughest players period."
The current coach of the team, Tony Goudie, talked about Kathryn's character and work ethic.
"She's a great teammate who never complains. I don't think she's missed a practice," Goudie said. "You can always count on her being there and always going full speed, and as a coach, it's special to see kids who are that selfless and put the team's needs in front of their own."
Along with practicing three times a week with her team, Kathryn does boot camp-style workouts with her father on the weekends.
"I think this will prepare her for later on in life," her dad said. "Football is a sport in which you learn how to be competitive, be strong and be a leader, and life is all about that."

Is the Law of Contract Seriously Defective if the Court is Unable to Award Restitutionary Damages for Breach of Contract?
It is commonly believed that the general rule is that damages for breach of contract are compensatory not restitutionary. So, the damages are measured by the loss to the plaintiff not by the gain to the defendant. However, there are many academic writings which have advocated that restitutionary damages should be available as general default rule in breach of contract, because it is able to provide adequate remedy to plaintiff when compensatory damages are inadequate. The A-G vs. Blake is the remarkable case which embodied by Hendrix case, posits the general restitutionary remedy. Blake has challenged the traditional approach of damages and signaled a trend of establishing restitutionary damages. The proponents of this point always purport 'the interests of justice' for plaintiff, however, they misunderstand the purpose of law of contract which is to balance the interests between claimant and defendant so that to maximize the social profits. Accordingly, the restitutionary damages are an objection to efficient breach in economic view because the restitution and account of profit (disgorgement) will deprive the defendant's incentive to maximize profits and the claimant's desire to minimize loss. So, the virtue of damages for breach of contract would be diminished if the general restitution relief is established.
