ATHENS – In the first half of the Kentucky game this past Saturday, Malcolm Mitchell fielded a kickoff eight yards deep in his end zone. He took off to bring it out before Georgia's Kyle Karempelis jumped in front with an emphatic stop sign at the goal line. Mitchell slammed on the brakes, then gave Karempelis a disgusted wave of contempt before taking a reluctant knee.
"I apologized later," Mitchell said with a laugh. "I told Kyle, no matter what I say, do what you have to do and, if I try to run out of there, just tackle me right there in the end zone."
Such is Mitchell's mentality. He rarely fields a punt or a kick or takes a handoff or catches a pass he doesn't think he can take "to the house." That confidence coupled with Mitchell's unique set of athletic gifts has made him into one of the league's most dynamic play-makers. It also makes him one of the most unpredictable.
"Any time you touch the ball it means opportunity," Mitchell said. "It means a chance to make plays."
Mitchell got back to the business of making plays in earnest against the Wildcats, and he hope it continues against No. 2 Florida this weekend in Jacksonville. The sophomore from Valdosta, who spent the first third of the season playing defensive back, is now back to playing wide receiver full time and has also become the Bulldogs primary kick returner.
Against Kentucky, Mitchell accounted 164 all-purpose yards, including 103 yards receiving on a career-best nine receptions. His all-purpose total was robbed of a 33-yard run on a fake punt that was nullified due to an illegal formation penalty.
"There's no better feeling than having the ball in your hand," Mitchell said. "You want to make a play. People around me are really good about telling me, 'Look, you can't make a play every play. Sometimes you just have to do the right thing and wait for it to come.' But it just feels good to be out there contributing."
It's not like he wasn't before now. Mitchell started the first four games of the season at cornerback as the Bulldogs negotiated the suspensions of two defensive backs. He had 12 tackles and three pass break-ups on defense.
The original plan was for Mitchell to eventually play both ways. But since the return of free safety Bacarri Rambo in Game 5, Mitchell has been full time on offense and special teams.
Along with three kickoff returns for 64 yards and the nullified fake-punt run Mitchell touched the ball 14 times against Kentucky. Georgia coaches hope he gets it at least that much every game the rest of the year, including Saturday against the Gators. Mitchell is thrilled with the developments.
"I didn't realize I got it that much," he said. "That's good. It feels natural to me. Now it's just a matter of getting back in that groove."
Mitchell's role is starting to resemble the one the Bulldogs envisioned for him after last season. He finished with 702 all-purpose yards in just 11 games to earn Freshman All-SEC honors last year.
"Malcolm loves football, obviously," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "He loves offense, defense and special teams. He loves to play, and he wants to make plays and be significant every time he's in the game. We think that he has a lot of bravery and speed and agility to be a good kick return man. You have to have some nerve back there. He's starting to become much more productive as a wide receiver and getting more opportunities and getting more comfortable. So, I hope he continues to improve in all areas because he's a very talented guy."
Mitchell's confidence has gotten him into trouble from time to time, too. He fielded a bouncing punt in a crowd against Missouri and ended up fumbling the ball away and had difficulty making decisions overall as a punt returner, generally choosing to field it no matter the situation. As a result, he had to relinquish those duties to junior Rhett McGowan, who's less of a play-maker but a better decision-maker.
"That's OK," Mitchell said. "If the coaches think Rhett's the best guy for the job, I'm all for it. I'm over there on the sideline rooting for him harder than anybody."
Of course, special teams play will be crucial against Florida, which is ranked among the nation's best in both coverage and returns. The Gators created two special teams turnovers in a 44-11 win over South Carolina last week in Gainesville.
It should come as no surprise that Mitchell is not at all intimidated. In fact, he's particularly pumped because he was unable to play in this game last year due to a hamstring injury. Mitchell is nicknamed "Tampa" because he lived there from age 2 to 12 before moving back to Valdosta.
"They run hard, so we've got to block hard," Mitchell said. "They've got a lot of good players on their kickoff team, but we've got a lot of good people on our kick return team. We've just got to execute and take care of that like we do in any phase of the game."

Good luck "Tampa" Mitchell from down here in Florida. It looks like its going to be windy so we have to be able to run the ball but still take a few shots through the air.
October 25th, 2012
1:45 pm
Better hold on to the ball this Sat. Gators will try to stripe it on kickoffs and punt returns.They do it on every return.Other teams turnovers are the key to them winning.HOLD ON TO THE BALL!!

Any word from the coaches regarding Kevin Butler's suggestion of putting 2 men back deep for punts?
I'd like to see McGowan and Mitchell back on punts together so they only have to worry about half the field. And they could help each other make decisions. Also, we could run a Rhett to Mitchell reverse on a punt return… You might have to practice that one.
Richt is too worried about losing practice time for offense and defense to commit practice time to special teams. Special teams is 1/3 of the game. It should get 1/3 of the practice time.
Coach Richt always cites NCAA rules about the restrictions on practice time and # of coaches as an excuse for poor execution in the special teams. You don't hear muschamp complaining about these problems. He realizes special teams play can be more important than offense and defense. It's also great conditioning in practice running the length of the field to cover kicks.
Florida QB Jeff Driskol, 'We work on special teams all the time. Players take pride in making it onto the special teams units.'
We need this same mentality.

I cringe everytime Mitchell handles a kickoff or punt. He has made bad decisions earlier this season and I fear he will royally screw something up before the season ends.

I look forwrd to see middleLB play like Odell Thurman or Tony Gilbert and a safety like Thomas Davis! is this too much to ask for
I agree with William's comment! we are soft

2:38 pm
Thanks Gator Bait… we're pretty much used to tropical stuff around here this time of year. i plan on watching the game with my mon & dad at the beach cottage in Nags Head. It will probably be blowing pretty good outside and raining for sure. I'm thinking Black Bean Chili, Steamed Oysters, collards, and cornbread….and prolly some cold beer. Dad will want to know if Richt is ever gonna win the big game, and I will be on the edge of my seat hoping its a Dawg gone good day.
Rain is the great equalizer… However, I fear what advantage Florida will gain if the field is sloppy in Jax. Edge always goes to trenches in a sloppy field game. Gotta get Gurley some blocks up front, and Murray some time.
October 25th, 2012
2:41 pm
Mitchell believes he can take it to the house every time he touches it and sooner than later it will happen, he is due. I like his wreckless abandonment attitude…just win. Go Dawgs, Sic'em!

October 25th, 2012

Mitchell's enthusiasm for returning kicks while not protecting the ball or taking a knee when he should will not work vs FL's ST's. They're real good at creating TO's, and the dawgs have the dubious record of obliging them. If the dawgs lose I hope its not because they gave the game away on TO's.
October 25th, 2012

Please stop it with the CMR bashing….he is a great coach and his record stacks up againt anybody's. Can't all of you see this constant Coach bashing is hurting recruiting….

Aww, how sweet Gator Bait and Outer Banks.

Mitchell's one of the few chances Georgia has for winning the game, hopefully he'll have his head on straight. Of course it won't matter if Murray continues his trend of lackluster big game performances.
October 25th, 2012

Good to see one of our former Cats getting some shine…this kid is special. I think the fact that he thinks he can take it the house everytime….scared money don't make none!!!

I think Murray will be fine and I'd love to see Mitchell have a monster game. Like many of said it will come down to coaching and just based on the last two games UGA is in trouble.

Funny how jerks don't understand gentlemen————but I can assure you there will be nothing gentle about the beatin ya'll get this weekend.
October 25th, 2012
3:41 pm
Guys – I am rooting for you this weekend. However, I just do not see it happening.
1. Richt and UGA have not had a WIN against a top flight team since 2007.
2. UGA's record is a product of a very easy schedule – and basically plays 2 ranked teams this year: USCe and FLorida.
USCe is overrated – as LSU and Florida beat them down.
USCe was beating UGA 35-0 with a minute left in the game.
3. The O-Line is perpetualy under rebuild – not reload.
4. The Defenses – with all of it's talent – is abysmal – Kentucky ran over 200 yards on UGA's abysmal excuse for a defense and except for Vandy – has not been good at all this year.
Florida is going to to undress UGA and it is going to be ugly.
Kudos to Muschamp – he is bringing intensity to the program – and they play with conviction and a sense of urgency. Florida has improved as the season has evolved – UGA is the same team as they were in August.
Guys – UGA has been at times – and should be one of college footballs crown jewels.
UGA has not beaten an elite team in 5 years.
Look at last year – the 4 decent teams UGA played – they lost.
So what are you going to do after Saturdays beat down?????
And I need to warn you – if this team starts feeling sorry for itself – Ole Miss is capable of beating UGA – so upsert alert next weekend after the Florida game.
So here UGA goes again – could finish the season 10-2 or 9-3.
And yet- they are only beating the bottom half of teams in the college football.
Come on UGA fans – since when is mediocrity acceptable between the hedges!
Richt is a great great man – caring, does so much for others – but he las lead the UGA football program to being an average team.
October 25th, 2012
3:42 pm
Is it me or should Gurley or even Marshall be returning KO'S and Punts this weekend. Rhett makes good decisions but Gurley didn't look to bad back there in the first game….. we need an explosion on returns and one of them should be doing it!
Go Dawgs – Bleed Swag!
October 25th, 2012
3:44 pm
Tide they still give us chances to change the history you always throw up so at some point you're going to cash in….
October 25th, 2012
3:53 pm
Malcome – I like your attitude and appreciate that you want to "take it to the house" on every play. Kudos for you!!! but…you've got to learn to be smarter and realize you are part of a team and running it out of the end zone on a kickoff may not be the smartest play. Let your teammates help you be a "complete" player. GATA!!!!
October 25th, 2012
3:55 pm
Haha. I hope the dawgs come to play.
October 25th, 2012
4:03 pm
Heard this the other day.
Mark Richt is the Dale, JR of the SEC.
– runs with the top half – but never wins the race.- yet the fans love him!
Again my UGA friends – since when is being mediocre acceptable between the hedges.
What has UGA done in the last 5 years.
UGA is in front of the bell curve of average teams – but way behind the elites .
After the beatdown this weekend – maybe more UGA fans will realize that if UGA wants to run with the teams in the front of the pack – you are going to have to make a change.
Alabama understands that it is not about just being competitive and beating the bottom teams – it is about winning the big games – and titles included.
Hey, Ohio State let John Cooper go – the guy was a lot like Richt. A great human being – but could not win the big game – and never beat Michigan. Florida owns UGA – and that will be proven again this Saturday ….. and it will get ugly as Florida will totally own both lines come 4Q.
I hate it for Richt and Bobo – but if mediocrity is acceptable to UGA – then be happy being perpetually the 5th, 6th or 7th best team in the SEC.
Here is my SEC ranking:
2. Florida
4. MIss State
5. USCe
6. Texas A&M
7-8 (tie). UGA/ARK (if ARK and UGA played tomorrow – my money is on ARK as they are now playing well .)
9. Ole Miss
10. Vandy
11. Tennessee
12. Mizzou

Is it too much to ask to let Mitchell get the ball 12 yards DOWN the field instead of 5 yards BEHIND the line of scrimmage. last time I checked we had plenty of good, capable running backs behind Aaron Murray ready and willing to tote the rock.
October 25th, 2012
5:22 pm
Wx for Saturday – I live in Jax, and I've heard everything from 10 to 80% chance of rain. The Gator Bowl ll is where like in Gainesville "Only Gators get out alive"..As for Malcolm Mitchell – have you even looked at UF's kicking game and special team coverage. Maybe CMR is afraid to show you that film.
October 25th, 2012
5:43 pm
Swamp thing
you guys are 7-0, look pretty good and beat a few good teams. You're far from world beaters. Don't let that false sense of entitlement #2 ranking go to your head. The season ain't over with yet
October 25th, 2012
5:54 pm
Sounds great- but we hear this all the time…all of a sudden everyone wants to do everything…excited to get ball in his hand? was he excited to show something last week???? This team has had what? 7 weeks to show something…..and wa la this is the week the light buld goes on??????? bottom line- 6-1 is a crap record when 6 have been losers…..and 1 was the good team…AND we have looked like crap against all of the 6 losers except vandy….time to shut up and prove it on the field….like REAL teams do
October 25th, 2012
6:08 pm
UGA AD McQuackity is mad at Matt and Chernoff of 680 the fan. Seems Richt is very upset with some things they stated after the pounding at the hands of South Carolina and McQuackity is running around trying to press 680 the fan.
McQuackity — please focus on the reason for such statements by media and fans – No one at UGA seems to be ACCOUNTABLE OR DISPLAYING LEADERSHIP IN BUTTS MEHRE, most of us felt you would bring a more direct approach demanding ACCOUNTABILITY AND LEADERSHIP but you don't even demand it of yourself. You have proven to be lazier than Richt and spew more excuses than anyone before you as AD. Your grade as the AD at UGA is an F. With such a strong arm tactic for head women sports coaches maybe you should be at an all girl school. STEP UP or you will find yourself looking for a job very soon.
October 25th, 2012
6:45 pm
CMR pads his record with wins over below average teams, 6 wins this year, the 6 teams that the DAWGS have beat this season is 12-31, not very good? CMR will have 10 wins again this season! I hope the DAWGS beat the Gators, but my heart tells me no!
October 25th, 2012

UGA 28 Fla. 24… Romney 53 Obama 47… go Dawgs… go Mitt !!!
October 25th, 2012
6:54 pm
CMR can't win the big game, and Sat at JAX is a BIG game! DAWGS have the talent to win, because CMR is a great recruiter, but CMR is a poor motivator, and a very poor coach! Maybe the ole ball coach was right, UGA gets all that talent, but I don't know what happens to them when they get there!
October 25th, 2012
6:56 pm
I just don't get, McGarity spent 20 years with the #1 AD in the country at UF-I couldn't believe the contract extention after last year, just don't get it. UGA has great player and Richt does nothing with them——truely sad. Just take a look at what Muschamp has done at UF, change does work ifr you are smart.

This is a poor digital photograph of the oil-on-wood painting of the crater Goldschmidt. To my surprise, it turned out pretty well, but it was certainly not a pleasant evening.
As I have thought about the evening in late May, I still remember the pain of the night. The Holy Spirit reminded me of this scripture in John 16: "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Compared to catastrophe or serious illness, trouble with a painting is nothing. But the trouble was enough to teach the lesson. We have learned this lesson a few times in our lives. We will probably continue to learn it. In Christ, the believer's troubles have a larger context that is more real than the trouble at hand. Do you know that kind of big picture perspective in your life? It is meant for us to know Him that way. The older we get and the more troubles we see around us or experience, the more we remember His overcoming power.
We really are not living for here and this temporary life. Something much bigger is going on. If you are a believer, take heart. If you are not a believer, call on Him. Choose to turn from your ways to Him and let Him do that extra-ordinary thing: save your soul.
His overcoming power is meant to be place of reckoning--where we choose to put trust in His accomplishment on the cross: He overcame this messy world for us. How great a love He has for those who believe in Him!

Interweb Cookery: Robert Rodriguez's Video Cooking School
I don't have a TV, so I rely on the internet for whenever I want to indulge in a cooking show fix. There's a lot of great stuff out there, which I hope to share with you in the coming weeks. We'll be starting with two of my favorites from filmmaker Robert Rodriguez: "Puerco Pibil" and "Sin City Breakfast Tacos".
These two 6 minute videos were developed for the DVD versions of his films Once Upon a Time in Mexico and Sin City. Rodriguez's style is sexy, edgy and playful, in a tough-guy kind of way. He actually manages to give some real instruction among all those crazy camera angles and cool sound effects. You'll learn how to make your own tortillas, for example, or how to grind your own spices. And of course, there's the set up for his famous (and accurate) comment on cooking: 'Not knowing how to cook is like not knowing how to...'
8 Comments
Did I miss a question?
I totally love these videos. I am usually driven nuts by "tough guys" turned cooks, but this one is actually pretty easy to watch.
very cool! I remember seeing this awhile back.
There is also a pretty famous one with Christopher Walken roasting a chicken at his folks' place.
I'm practicing my own style of cooking video production. I have a long way to go. I have to figure out how to make the videos shorter.
Here's one on tamales I made recently:
you could actually use the Rodriguez' pork recipe as a filling for tamales.
Oh man, I remember the first time I saw the Sin City breakfast tacos video. That was definitely the intersection of sexy and food.
I couldn't handle his " 'tough guys' turned cooks" personality. I watched a cooking video that was an extra on the Once Upon a Time in Mexico DVD (I think), and I thought it was terribly crass, not at all sexy.
Dana, your posts are not translating well to the RSS feed - specifically the punctuation. Are you writing elsewhere and then pasting? Something's not working.
I had no idea these were out there! Thanks!
I love these videos! I've been meaning to make his Puerco Pibil recipe, except I can't seem to procure pork butt and banana leaves at the same time, only one or the other.
I would love to see the Christopher Walken one.
Looks like this is Christopher Walken video:

The Rangers solidified their defensive corps for the upcoming season by agreeing to terms on a new contract with free agent blueliner Steve Eminger Monday morning. The new deal means that Eminger will return for his third season on Broadway.
"It's great news because obviously I wanted to come back here," Eminger told BlueshirtsUnited.com exclusively on Monday afternoon. "This is where I wanted to be. It's a great team and a great organization, so I had no thoughts of going anywhere else. I remained patient, and it was just a matter of time before we got this done."
Eminger was playing some of the best hockey of his nine-year career last season when he first suffered a separated shoulder in a game against Phoenix on December 17th and then badly sprained his ankle on March 15th against Pittsburgh. Limited to just 42 games played, Eminger finished the 2011-12 campaign with two goals, five points, 28 penalty minutes, 63 hits, and 53 blocked shots.
The 28 year-old Eminger has appeared in 453 National Hockey League games with the Rangers, Anaheim Ducks, Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Philadelphia Flyers, and Washington Capitals. He has scored 17 goals, recorded 96 points and totaled 351 penalty minutes.
In 107 games played with the Rangers in 2010-11 and 2011-12 Eminger has become well-respected for his gritty physical play and willingness to block shots on a regular basis.
"I am excited to be back and am looking forward to get going."
Share your thoughts below on Steve Eminger's return to the Rangers.

A four word summary of the book: Become a f___ing vegan. It's a worthwhile read to become aware of disturbing practices of CAFOs, but otherwise the arguments for becoming a vegan were weak. For and interesting contrast, read this and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver.

Mykolayiv gang rape, burn victim Oksana Makar dies in hospital (VIDEOS)
What punishment is fitting for the three men who on March 8 allegedly gang raped and attempted to burn to death Oksana Makar, an 18-year-old Mykolayiv woman?

The Romans would put a cage over the persons head. The cage was fastened around the neck with a opening at the top. A very hungary rat was put in and the person was not able to hit the rat. In some cases it would take a week or more for the rat to kill the person. Death would be to quick for the men in this case.
They should face at least 20 years of imprisonment, and to pay a minimum of 3 mill Hr fine which to be given to the victim/victims family.
For murder human - deputy given 2 years probation
I can think of a few fitting punishments:
Stripped, covered in honey, and tied to a tree in the middle of a swamp during the height of bug season, and forgotten about.
Handed over to a group of radical uber-feminists who hate all men and have carte blanche (and many sharp razors, salt, lemon juice).
Medium grade sand paper to certain parts of the body until those body parts are no longer (followed by disinfecting with vodka, salt, and lemon juice, followed by the honey and swamp punishment).
As enjoyable as these and other punishments may be to see executed, it is not up to us to determine punishment. The court system exists to provide a 'cool head' that sees that fair and proper justice is served, as opposed to mob justice which would see punishments as I listed above dished out. Sadly, the court system in Ukraine has a history of not being cool when it needs to be cool, and not using its head when it needs to use its head, which has resulted in a history of unbalanced, unfair justice.
As said in another article, it is sad that, given the state of the Ukrainian justice system, so much goes unpunished, and sometimes when punishment does fall, it falls upon the victim, not the assailant.
G.K. Chesterton, a Christian philosopher and writer, wrote, though the words of Father Brown, about retribution and justice.
"I mean that we here are on the wrong side of the tapestry. The things that happen here do not seem to mean anything; they mean something somewhere else. Somewhere else retribution will come on the real offender. Here it often seems to fall on the wrong person."
As for what the punishment should be, I am of the opinion that we should let Oksana determine the punishment, as she is the victim, and the person who knows best the wrongs that have been done.
Oksana should have a say to the court and judge, what their punishment should be. Castration would be an option, just to start with.
Since she lost an arm and the use of two legs. Amputate three limbs off of the criminals and castrate them. Leave each one in a wheelchair with only one arm and castrated, locked up for their natural lives.
Oksana faces a life of torture and hell ahead of her, with no legs, one arm missing and the memory of death and pain in her soul forever.
Many victims of such crimes just commit suicide as life is too painful to go on living. Oksana needs the support of the people, perhaps even her own TV show.
Death penalty is too kind to these criminals. They need to suffer for their crimes for as long as humanely possible. Since they poured gasoline on Oksana's genitals, then part of their punishment will be to pour gasoline on these "Men" genitals and burn them off. Not a clean castration, but a burnt ember one. For that is the gasoline they poured on Oksana's genitals.
The punishment must fit the crime. Oksana is alive and suffering. These men must now face a life of torture and suffering, just as Oksana faces.
The punishment must match the crime. That is the purpose of law.
This crime is an extraordinary negative mark on our public image. There must the a comprehensive trial, a very public one, with their faces all over the media, then if they are found guilty, to be put away for the rest of their natural lives, in accordance with the law.
The images of a young Ukrainian woman burned alive and left for dead in a construction site may very well become the topic of a film in the future. We as a people cannot allow the criminal perpetrators, whether they were "drunk" or not, to go free. Using alcohol isn't an excuse for egregious criminal behaviour.
This crime will be the blacked mark on our tourism industry in decades if it is not prosecuted and the criminals taken off the streets.
Incalculable damage to Ukraine economy, morals, ethics, national image, has been done by this crime. Alcoholism is not an excuse for gang-raping, strangling, and burning a young woman alive in Ukraine.
Thank God she is alive, with at least one arm, she can write and become a writer. For surely she is a remarkable survivor.
"If you are the son or the nephew of someone with power, you can basically go around acting with total impunity. Nepotism and lack of respect for the rule of law is rife in Ukraine. If you look at Yanukovych's son [Oleksander] - he has become one of the 100 richest men in the country since his father came to power. This kind of thing doesn't happen in a normal country. This really is the borderland of Europe," a Kiev-based EU diplomat told this website.
The President's other son, Viktor junior, is an MP who rarely shows up in parliament and who has been filmed so drunk that he could not get into his own appartment. Neither issue has harmed his position.
The phenomenon of untouchable relatives has its own name in Ukraine - "mazhory" - and the list of disturbing cases is already long.
Serhiy Demishkan, the son Yanukovych associate and senior civil servant Volodymyr Demishkan, in 2007 confessed to the murder of Vasyl Kryvozub, who was force-fed vodka and thrown into a river with bits of a radiator tied to his neck. Serhiy Demishkan was set free in 2010, three months after Yanukovych came to power, on grounds that he suffers from skin cancer.
Dmytro Rud, the son of a prosecutor in the town of Dnipropetrovsk, in 2010 ran over and killed three women in his Toyota Prado then drove away. He is free on bail.
Roman Landik, the son of a pro-Yanukovych MP, last July in a restaurant in the town of Luhansk approached a young woman, Maria Korshunova, threw a drink at her, punched her repeatedly and dragged her round the floor by her hair. She ended up in hospital. He walked free on a suspended sentence.
According to our information, the government launched a special operation of terror against businesses that sympathetic nationalists. This operation is called" Sputnik "- he said.
"All the business representatives who are members or sympathizers of the" Freedom ", experiencing the most stringent repression. They now have a check from the tax, fire, sanitary station, the Security Service, Prosecutor's Office" - said the leader of "Freedom."
He said the list is taken absolutely all businesses, charities, even NGOs.
If these structures at least minimally involved in any of the opposition, particularly in the "Freedom", the structure is an unscheduled check, arrange provocations discharged fantastic fines, said Tyahnybok.
and then when they heal; soak them in Petrol & light them -BURN!!!
On Television so as to WARN other wannabee perverts!
just let them BURN off ALL their skin & then try to save them and then AFTER they heal then YOU could let them go "free".
Kanev Reservoir passed into private hands
She died today. Brave girl.
The young rich spoiled "men" need to be castrated, burned alive, but in prison and burned daily with douses of gasoline, tortured daily until they die over the course of the years.
I wouldn't be surprised if her Father or Mother put bullets through the heads of the rich, rotten, spoiled young "men", within weeks.
They need to be taken out of society - permanently.

Storage Solutions: Dresser Tops
christyy asked:
I have jewellery and other random things (like body sprays, hair ties, makeup, etc.) cluttering my dresser top right now. Do you have any cute ideas for organizing and displaying everything? I also have a mirror hung over it with lots of wall space. thanks, and keep up the awesome work on here! (:
Thanks for the great question Christyy, at first I wasn't sure how to answer this question because the terms I was searching by were coming up bupkiss. Then today it occurred to me that you need to compartmentalize your trinkets and sprays and with that it was super easy!
First off can I tell you how lucky you are that you have lots of wall space above your dresser and around your mirror. You can do things like:
Hang a series of painted drawers perfect for holding jewelry, body sprays and hair things. Source
Or keep it simple with a single drawer organizer tray painted to match your room. Source
As-easy-as-it-gets-hooks can hold near every kind of accessory you have if you look around or the right ones. (I managed to lose the source of this photo, does anyone know it's origin?)
Now that we have covered the walls, lets check out some nifty dresser top ideas:
You could pick up a couple lampshades from the thrift shop and fashion them into bowls for your hair do-dads. Source
If you sew you could make yourself a couple fabric caddies for your sprays and cosmetics. Source
I have had a love affair with these tins since January. You could easily fashion up some couture ones of your own for your make up brushes. Source
Last but not least, you could raid your mom's china stash for the perfect little dishes for your hair bits, and make up etc. Source
Also worth checking out are my jewelry storage, accessories storage and make up storage tags.
I hope this post helped you clear some of that clutter! Thanks for asking such a great question and please, don't forget to share pictures when you are done! Cheers,M.
Accessories Solutions: Beltsmadam-mustache asked:
I first want to say I LOVE your blog! It has been more than helpful on many many MANY occasions! And now I have a question for you (: I have belts. Lots and lots of belts of all shapes and sizes and I have absolutely no place to put them that is convenient when I am trying to get ready. Right now I have them shoved into a box and it's just bleh. Do you have any suggestions to help me store my belts???? Thanks for your awesome blog! (:
Well thank you so much for the sweet words! And, great question! At first I thought the options were limited but in fact I found a few great ideas!
I really like this how to from Martha Stewart, bonus if you are hanging it on a rod because then you can make it double sided. Also, Martha points out that by using matching wooden hangers you can keep your closet coordinated. But you coud also do what I do and just saunter down to your local charity shop and pick up some wooden hangers for pennies.
If you need a bigger hanger for a plethora of belts you could always adapt the Martha tutorial like Faith of DIgenY did. Just add more hangers as your belt collection increases.
There is always the clear shoe organizer just like this little bit of organization found at Charmseed Studios. Good for everything from shoes to Barbie dolls! If you fit two belts to a pocket you could store up to 48 belts!
This is perhaps my favourite option, and I think would work for you since you already keep them in a box. Add cubbies to your drawer or box with one of these drawer organizers for a sleek and organized look. Also, even if you have to tuck away your belts, you can still see a lot (min 16) at once.
This is perhaps the most fun option! An old rake head is perfect for holding belts, ties and scarves. I even asked hubby for one and he told me fat chance and to go find my own! But your local thrift shops or flea market might have a few!
All these options make me want to expand my very minimal belt collection. I hope they inspired you to find a solution that works for you! Pease do share pictures of your project! Cheers,M.
Handbag Storage Solutions
teafondknee asked:
Any advice on how to store purses and bags? I have a ton but haven't found a good way to store them!
Another fabulous question! Purse storage can be tricky much like shoes, we tend to acquire so many so quickly. And a great bag is worth holding onto until it no longer functions. I never used to be a handbag gal, I was so picky about them that I rarely found one that 'did it for me'. Now though, I can't get enough quality leather purses, granny purses, vintage beaded party bags, plus I love making clutches so storage has become an issue for me as well. That being said I have done some googling and this is what I have discovered.
First off, for storing your high end bags I recommend a shelf system with divider supports. You can use these stylish clear Acrylic Shelf Dividers or more practical metal ones. The reason I recommend a shelf system is because long term storage by hanging can eventually damage(stretch) the strap.
These hanging closet organizers are probably my favourite because they are reasonably priced and also protect against dust. I had one for shoes given to me by my mom because she was tired of wiping the clear vinyl free of dust. To clean it, I just throw it in the washing machine with towels and hang to dry.Unfortunately, I haven't the space for the sweater hanger or carousel one though. *tear* US residents can purchase the two pack of organizers here on Ebay and the carousel organizer can be purchased here on EBay.
If you are not lucky enough to have shelf space to devote to your handbags, or none at all you have other options.
These Handy Hold Alls from Simply Sarah Shaw are definitely handy. My roomate bought me one for Christmas years ago and when I had grown out of it I passed it on to my mom who loves hers. For those with a small to medium sized purse collection this is definitely an option. I like it because it doesn't have to hang on a door (Which are of short supply in lofts and studio spaces.) but is small enough to fit in closets of all sizes or on bedroom walls. You could also DIY one these easy enough with fabric and snaps/buttons/ribbons etc.
Although I haven't the door for this you might and I think it is a fabulously pratical solution. The Jokari Purse rack holds up to eight purses per strap and mounts on a door. That is a lot of purse storage for under twelve dollars.
For those of you with more space and higher budgets you can always build cubbies and store your purses like works of art like this lucky lady on Flickr.
There you go, handbag storage solutions for every budget and (hopefully) space limitations. Thanks so much for asking another great question! Cheers, M.

Canine Liver Disease and Failure – Triggers, Symptoms and Treatments
Canine liver disease is a fairly common disorder among older dogs, and is caused by several factors. This disease can occur in younger dogs as well.
The condition can be caused by a number of factors including disease, chemicals, drugs, and toxins. Certain chemicals are known to damage the liver such as insecticides and carbon tetrachloride. Toxic amounts of lead, phosphorus, selenium, arsenic, and iron can also cause damage. Excessive amounts of some medications can harm the dog's liver. Heartworm infection, Cushing's syndrome and diabetes can all lead to liver disease.
The early signs of canine liver disease are quite nonspecific. Some symptoms associated with liver disease include:
|• Vomiting
|• Loss of appetite
|• Drinking and urinating more often
|• Diarrhea
|• Swollen Lower Limbs
|• Jaundice
|• Weight loss
|• Spontaneous Bleeding
|• Ascites
Be sure to take your dog in for regular examinations by a veterinarian. If the condition is detected early enough, the liver can recover from damage and restore itself to the point where your dog has normal liver function. Keep your dog up to date with his vaccinations and provide him with a healthy diet, dog liver support supplements and consistent access to fresh water and physical activity.
One of the most common signs of liver failure is jaundice, which transpires when bile accumulates in the blood and tissues, staining the tissues yellow. The whites of your dog's eyes will appear yellow as well as the gums and tongue. Ascites is an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen—so your dog will appear swollen or bloated.
If you notice any of the symptoms of liver disease or failure in your dog, take him to the veterinarian immediately. The vet will administer blood tests, including a bile acid assay, ultrasound, and CT scan. These are incredibly helpful in determining liver problems, but the only definite test is a biopsy of the liver.
Treatment and Prevention
Treatment of liver disease varies depending on the trigger: certain medications, dietary adjustments and supplements can be useful. Dietary changes may encompass adjusting the amounts of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats and minerals that the dog consumes. Supplements such as PSCPets Herbal Liver Support for Dogs and Cats will help to support overall liver function.
Many causes of canine liver disease are not preventable. However, decreasing your dog's exposure to toxic drugs, plants, chemicals and other substances will help to protect him from it.
Some dogs are at increased risk for liver disease. For example, the disorder is more common in middle-aged to older animals.
Certain breeds are also more susceptible to developing the disease: Terriers, Keeshonds, Labrador Retrievers, Dalmatians, Doberman pinscher, Cocker Spaniel and Standard Poodle. Free roaming dogs that are exposed to chemicals, heavy metals, stagnant standing water, pesticides, poisonous plants or drugs have an increased chance for liver problems.

The ultimate goal is to win games, but if you play in front of thousands of fans every week, you certainly want to look your best, whether it is in classic, old school uniforms or something more modern and flashy.
So which teams have the best uniforms? Here's my top five. Let the debate begin!
Arkansas Razorback fullback Kiero Small (36), head coach John L. Smith and running back Dennis Johnson (33) while waiting to take a team photo during media day at the Broyles Athletic Center.
5. The classics
The uniforms of Penn State, Alabama and Texas are simple, but that's the beauty. While a lot of schools are going way overboard on their designs (see Maryland's uniforms from last season), these schools continue to stay clean, crisp and classic.
4. Arkansas:
This might come as a surprise, but check them out and you'll see why I picked them.
The new design is modern, but not overdone. The feature I like most is probably how the numbers fade from one color to another. For example, the red jerseys have numbers that fade from white at the top to silver at the bottom. They have a new, dark gray alternate jersey and also introduced new white helmets.
3. Boise State:
I love Boise State's helmets, first and foremost. I really like the move to the full-helmet Bronco logo, although I think it would look better if they had the logo on both sides. They have a variety of combinations to choose from, which keeps their selection for each game constantly changing.
Plus, imagine if you were an opposing team, having to play Boise in its blue uniforms on its blue field. That's going to throw you off at least a little bit, right?
2. Cincinnati:
I particularly like Cincy's all-white uniforms, but the all-black ones are great too. I like the way they use the color scheme (red, black and white) and the accents, such as the thrash marks on the sides of the pants. The helmet logo is also pretty cool and the letters and numbers are in a sharp-looking font that matches it.
1. Oregon:
I'll be the first one to admit that I don't like all of Oregon's uniforms, but I love the majority of them.
The Ducks have had countless uniform combinations to play with over the last several years and like to unveil new ones almost every season. The Nike Pro Combat ones they wore in their season-opener against LSU last season are my personal favorites. I love the dark, stealthy look they have about them, and the lime green accents add just the right amount of flair.
Which uniforms are in your top five?

A driver is dead after driving in the wrong lane on Interstate 85 and Georgia Highway 316 for nearly seven miles.
A spokesperson for the Gwinnett County Police Departments tells FOX 5 News that they received a 911 call shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday saying that a vehicle was traveling north in the southbound lanes of Interstate 85 just north of the DeKalb County line.
Gwinnett DUI Task Force units attempted to intercept the vehicle at several points, but police said they were unsuccessful due to the speed and reckless driving.
The driver continued driving the wrong way, getting on Georgia Highway 316 driving east in the westbound lanes. The driver eventually struck two guard rails and broke the vehicle into two pieces.
The driver died at the scene. His name has not yet been released.
Police could not immediately say if the man was drunk and are continuing to investigate the crash.

Richard Kern
From "Guns"
Lung With Lizard by Richard Kern, 1987
X is Y (Richard Kern, 1990)
(via coitusandcarnage, 8loma)
eviscerateyoungcaptain, vicemag:
"She was photographer Spencer Tunick's girlfriend back then. I met her through him. She was real cute, real young, and was up for anything. This photo is from a time when I didn't think anything of doing something weird with my models. Right after this setup, I shot her in another archway in my apartment, hanging upside down. The ropes broke and she just bounced on her head. It freaked me out! That's when I realized that I have to watch what I do because if she broke her neck and I had the cops up here and she's all tied up and dead, naked except for combat boots, what am I going to say? 'We were just taking some photos'?"
Lydia Lunch in Richard Kern's Fingered (1986)
(via lulublanche, italiawasteland)
When I was a dawdling young whipperslapper whose ur-aesthetic somehow became Patricia Morrison in the This Corrosion video clip (the rather less vulgar Danielle Dax came a little later), I became desperately torn between wanting to be Lydia Lunch and wanting to be a Robert Palmer girl.
Or rather, wanting to look like either. Not the most compatible of aspirations, and never shall the twain meet when the only thing they seem to have in common is a penchant for zealous eyeliner application and exhibitionism, but I was an odd child who considered her first viewing of The Labyrinth some kind of paroxysmic erotic awakening.
Given that despite their smoky-eyed mousse-headed aura of fembotty and slightly castrating awesomeness - and I still love them, bless their fragmented-by-montage disjointed bodycon-clad all-girating body parts - Robert Palmer girls have very little agency of their own (to state the no-what-Joe-Eszterhas-isn't-really-feminism's-most-eager-advocate-no-really-surely-you-jest obvious), and, like crotch-shot-popping Busby Berkeley chorus girls whose fetishised identical compliant bodies can only perform together as a somewhat sinister single unit, they similarly only ever exist as a collective de-individualised image of scopophilic male fantasy par excellence, it's rather a good thing that Lydia eventually won.
…That was an exceedingly long sentence. I'm a bit of a ranting mess this week, rendered all cantankerous Angry Young Woman by this Australian election bollocks. Never mind that I'm so puerile I giggle like a schoolgirl every time the phrase "hung parliament" is used.

Thank you so much ladies! Your support is needed, felt, and appreciated.
I am so grateful for this community and the support that we offer each other. I'd still rather not deal with a divorce in the middle of my pregnancy, and wish I had a magic wand to take the hurt away from my Mom, but I am feeling better after reading all of your kind words of support.

Funding Opportunities for students in the Master of Arts in Applied Geography:
Many MA applicants have questions and concerns about funding for their graduate education. At this point, the department is unable to offer any Teacher's Assistant (TA) opportunities, although graduate fellowships are available through the Graduate School (see below). We are working actively to raise funds for TA positions and hope to have better news in the future. In the mean time, there are many avenues to pursue to supplement or cover educational expenses.
Please be aware of these points:
Students may qualify for fellowships from the Graduate School. Funding is for one year and are awarded on a competitive basis. Availability depends on the university budget for each year; the amount is on the order of $3,000-$5,000 per year. These require that the department recommend you for funding. Students must submit a statement of purpose and goals - new applicants do this when answering Question 7 on the application packet Part II. You may also wish to address in your statement some specifics as to why you feel you qualify for this fellowship. Be aware that you must be fully admitted to an on-campus graduate program, and be engaged in full (5 or more credits/semester), or part-time (1 to 4 credits/semester) study to be eligible for the fellowship. If the graduate student fails to meet the credit/semester requirement, the fellowship is forfeited. If you cannot meet this criterion, do not indicate your desire to be recommended for this fellowship.
Departmental recommendations are submitted to the Graduate School by early March, new applicants must submit application materials by February 1 to be considered.
A limited number of our students receive funding from faculty members through research grants in which they are a research assistant (RA). This source of income is variable, depending on grants that individual faculty members have at any given time. Please contact whomever you think might be your advisor for information on possible research funding opportunities. Recognize that the availability of these positions varies greatly and is not guaranteed.
The department offers a Women in Geography Scholarship. This is a one-time grant awarded on a competitive basis for all women students. See your faculty mentor if you wish to apply.
There are numerous geography-related firms in Colorado Springs that hire our students. Most will be flexible with work and school schedules, some offer tuition reimbursement, and several have formal internship programs with our department. Discuss these options with the GES Graduate Director, Professor Emily Skop, or other faculty members.
Most out-of-state students can qualify for in-state tuition after one year of residence.
The Financial Aid Office will assist with student loans, work study qualifications, and potential student grant money.
Thank you for your interest in the Master of Arts in Applied Geography.

How do I end a relationship?
I no longer love my boyfriend and this has been dragging on for a few months. How do I end a relationship? This is my first one so I don't really know how to do it.
Every Thursday, your relationship questions will be answered by Fly FM's Prem and Hafiz. Tune in to the Pagi Rock Crew Fridays at 8am.
Click on the next page to find out what our 'Love Doctors' Prem and Hafiz have to say about this relationship question!
Fly FM
A first break up is the longest process, i'ts almost like a divorce. You have to be the B!TCH, if you're all nice, he would think that you still love him and there's a good chance of both of you getting back together. Explain to him that it won't work because it takes two to tango, but now you're more into shuffling which doesn't require a partner to prance. If he persists, it's time to be the ALPHA B!TCH and show him that 'first cut is indeed the deepest'!
Fly FM
As cliche as this sounds, honesty is the best policy. But sometimes being honest can also bring more trouble. For example, you can tell your soon-to-be ex-boyfriend that you don't love him anymore and want out, but it is guaranteed that he would go a questioning frenzy. Questions like, why? Am I not good enough? What did I do wrong? But i gave you everything! and trust me, these are the questions you don't wanna answer. But if you still wanna choose this way, then go to the "war" with Kevlar. The other way, is to actually tell a white lie. Note: WHITE LIE. Take the blame upon yourself. Say that you're dying of some kinda terminal illness, okay I'm joking. Not to that extreme, but you should say something that wouldn't make your soon-to-be ex-boyfriend look bad. But you must also be very careful with the white lie you tell. Don't say things like I've found someone else. That will only cause MORE TROUBLE. MEN HAVE HUGE EGOS. Fine tune your white lie and you should be just fine. If you're gonna ask me about white lies, don;t. I don't lie. Okay, that was lie, that I don't lie. I'm sure you'll be able to google white lies. All the best.

When it came to putting together her first book about creative types and the very workspaces that inspire them, Habitually Chic's Heather Clawson immediately thought of J.Crew's own Jenna Lyons and Frank Muytjens. "Even though Jenna's office has been seen online and in magazines before, it never looks the same," says Heather. "It had even changed from the time I stopped by to take scouting photos to the day I shot it for my book." She describes the assortment of subjects, which includes jewelry designer (and past J.Crew collaborator) Dana Lorenz of Fenton/Fallon and auctioneer Richard Wright, as "a chic mix of uptown and downtown, young and old, established and up-and-coming." Heather says almost all of the people she profiled have offices filled with incredible inspiration boards that offer a glimpse into the subject's head. (Clearly Jenna and Frank were no exception!)
For her first book signing in New York City, Heather wore our traditional British-inspired hacking jacket in sheer mint—one of her favorite cool-weather staples. Shop it here.
Habitually Chic.
am really looking forward...looking through this book!
