The treatment was wonderfully relaxing.
I was unable to have the treatment I planned because I am undergoing treatment for cancer but the alternative offered was wonderfully relaxing. My friend also had a wonderful massage.

The facial and the Darwin products
The ladies who work there were lovely. The lady didn't really know how to give the massage and she didnt do my front legs or stomach. The same lady gave me a facial which was good.

Michaux Trail Cup - Pennsylvania
Written by: Karen Potter
Looking for an early season endurance race in the Northeast?
Then test out your winter training at the Michaux Trail Cup in Michaux State
Forest, Pennsylvania, on April 15th. Riders have their choice of suffering, err
smiling, with 25, 50, 75 or 100 mile options. The race will also test your
technical skills with Michaux being well known for its super, rocky, technical
singletrack. Although race director Zachary Adams of Fast Forward Racing
Productions says he is going for more of a �festive feel� but still hopes to
inspire racers to accomplish a hard and challenging course.
The 50-miler version is also part of the Mid-Atlantic Super
Series as MASS Endurance Race #2. And, for those National Ultra Endurance Series (NUE) followers, it is
also conveniently scheduled two weeks prior to the first NUE series race - the Cohutta 100.
The Michaux Trail Cup is intended to have more of a 12-hour race
vibe with the loops each passing through the start/finish area of the main
venue. Each 25-mile loop is distinct. The course will contain a mix of
singletrack, fire road and double track, with over 10,000 feet of climbing for
the 100 miler. The 100 milers start at 7AM, 75 milers start at 9AM, 50 milers
start at 11AM following with the 25 milers at 1PM. There is something at the race
for every level of rider.
Race entry includes free camping at the venue, which for those
opting to do the longer distances, should help in ease of access to food and
supplies coming through for each lap. Racers are encouraged to bring spare
tubes and boot tires with them out on the trail, as well as other appropriate
parts at the start/finish area. There will also be a neutral feed zone at the
start/finish area stocked with all the usual stuff.
The race will be followed up with a food and beer garden. Get
your ride on at this celebration of early season racing.

The third wave of feminism > Manifestations
Third wavers inherited a foothold of institutional power created by second wavers, including women's studies programs at universities, long-standing feminist organizations, and well-established publishing outlets such as Ms. magazine and several academic journals. These outlets became a less important part of the culture of the third wave than they had been for the second wave.
In expressing their concerns, third-wave feminists actively subverted, co-opted, and played on seemingly sexist images and symbols. This was evident in the double entendre and irony of the language commonly adopted by people in their self-presentations. Slang used derogatorily in most earlier contexts became proud and defiant labels. The spirit and intent of the third wave shone through the raw honesty, humour, and horror of Eve Ensler's play (and later book) The Vagina Monologues, an exploration of women's feelings about sexuality that included vagina-centred topics as diverse as orgasm, birth, and rape; the righteous anger of punk rock's riot grrrls movement; and the playfulness, seriousness, and subversion of the Guerrilla Girls, a group of women artists who donned gorilla masks in an effort to expose female stereotypes and fight discrimination against female artists.
The third wave was much more inclusive of women and girls of colour than the first or second waves had been. In reaction and opposition to stereotypical images of women as passive, weak, virginal, and faithful, or alternatively as domineering, demanding, slutty, and emasculating, the third wave redefined women and girls as assertive, powerful, and in control of their own sexuality. In popular culture this redefinition gave rise to icons of powerful women that included the singers Madonna, Queen Latifah, and Mary J. Blige, among others, and the women depicted in television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (19972003), Sex and the City (19982004), and Girlfriends (200008). Media programming for children increasingly depicted smart, independent girls and women in lead roles, including Disney heroines such as Mulan (1998) and Helen Parr and her daughter, Violet (The Incredibles, 2006), and television characters such as Dora (Dora the Explorer, 19992006), Carly and Sam (iCarly, 2006 ), and Sesame Street's first female lead, Abby Cadabby, who debuted in 2006. The sassy self-expression of Girl Power merchandise also proved popular.
The increasing ease of publishing on the Internet meant that e-zines (electronic magazines) and blogs became ubiquitous. Many serious independent writers, not to mention organizations, found that the Internet offered a forum for the exchange of information and the publication of essays and videos that made their point to a potentially huge audience. The Internet radically democratized the content of the feminist movement with respect to participants, aesthetics, and issues.

Package pysqlite2-py27-2.6.3-1
|Extension module for the SQLite database (2.6.3-1)
pysqlite is a DB-API 2.0-compliant database interface for SQLite. SQLite is a relational database management system contained in a relatively small C library. It is a public domain project created by D. Richard Hipp. Unlike the usual client-server paradigm, the SQLite engine is not a standalone process with which the program communicates, but is linked in and thus becomes an integral part of the program. The library implements most of SQL-92 standard, including transactions, triggers and most of complex queries. pysqlite makes this powerful embedded SQL engine available to Python programmers. It stays compatible with the Python database API specification 2.0 as much as possible, but also exposes most of SQLite's native API, so that it is for example possible to create user-defined SQL functions and aggregates in Python. If you need a relational database for your applications, or even small tools or helper scripts, pysqlite is often a good fit. It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and does not depend on any other Python libraries or platform libraries, except SQLite. SQLite itself is ported to most platforms you'd ever care about.
|Usage Hints:
Trac will use pysqlite2 in preference to pysqlite. If you install pysqlite2 after creating a pysqlite trac database, you will need to update your trac database: $ mv trac.db trac2.db $ sqlite trac2.db .dump | sqlite3 trac.db http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/PySqlite Consider using sqlite3 from the main python25 package over pysqlite2 or use this just as a fallback: try: import sqlite3 except: from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite3

Oconomowoc Rotary Club invites you to drink for a good cause at Brewfest on Feb. 9
City of Oconomowoc - For the price of the $40 admission, the Oconomowoc Rotary Brewfest may offer just the elixir you're looking for to help cure those wintertime blues.
As the holidays pass and the long days of winter stretch ahead in a seemingly endless manner, the annual Oconomowoc Rotary Brewfest held on Saturday, Feb. 9, at Olympia Resort, offers a great opportunity to make a difference in the community and the world, while enjoying an evening with friends.
Now in its seventh year, the evening assures you won't go hungry. It includes hors de oeuvres, a choice of two meal stations, a chocolate fountain dessert station and a snack station.
In addition, it hosts two dozen vendors who provide a wide variety of beers, wines, vodkas and handcrafted sodas to sample throughout the night.
"The exotic beers seem to be the most popular. People enjoy the opportunity to try something really different from what they usually have," explained organizer Mike Herro.
"It is nice to be able to sample lots of different flavors without having to purchase any one beer," he added.
The event not only exposes participants to a variety of beverages, it also serves an important charitable purpose as well.
Half of the proceeds from the event will benefit local causes, while the balance will go toward the organization's international effort to eradicate polio.
And that goal is near.
According to the Rotary website, in 1988, Rotarians worldwide raised $247 million for PolioPlus, more than double their fundraising goal of $120 million.
The World Health Assembly passed a resolution to eradicate polio, setting up the launch of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
At that time more than 125 countries were polio-endemic. Now, just three countries remain polio endemic: Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria.
"Besides great beer and wine, good food and a chocolate fountain, here's another reason to go to Brewfest: When polio gets wiped from the map, you can be one of the 'cool kids' who helped defeat it," explained organizer Megan Welsh.
"It's beer - with purpose," she added.
Welsh said they are expecting 400 people to attend the event this year.
"If the weather is good we should be close to that. Last year we had 363 at Brewfest," she noted.
Vendors attending the annual event are coming from the Milwaukee, Madison and New Glarus areas to offer samples of their libations.
"There are always some new ones," Welsh said.
Tickets can be purchased online at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick& hosted_button_id=D9NRPX4C 45JR2.

The Wee Cottage
Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The description of the home in the ad was very accurate. Cozy, very good location and nicely appointed. The only negatives were that we arrived, even though the place appeared to have been pretty thoroughly cleaned, there were visible cob webs throughout (on the ceiling, in the corners, on the window sills and on the stair cases. We cleaned them away immediately. Also, the heaters in the bathroom and the storage area were not working but the heaters in the kitchen and bedroom sufficed. Overall, it is a very cute "wee" house very close to the beach on a quiet street and we enjoyed our stay. Additionally, the woman I dealt with when booking, whose name is Delana I believe, made the booking experience a pleasure.

4/21/2013-When Will We Ever Learn
(April 19, 2013)
I suspect that every president will have to deal with at least one horrific terrorist event in the United States during his or her time in office. President Bill Clinton had to deal with the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, President George W. Bush in 2001 and now President Obama in 2013. Ours is a big country and the FBI has stopped many a plot, but sooner or later, one will get through.
We can hope and pray and think, but we'll have to do more than that. We'll have to do hard work, physical work, helping work, forgiving work, mending work, the work God has told us about over and over again.

Northern Michigan Forum-Share Events, Travel Ideas, Photos, Videos
You know when you're watching Food Network and Ina Garten just casually turns to her window-side garden, picks a few herbs, and continues like "Oh, no big, here's my convenient backyard produce station"? Meanwhile you're sitting there, simultaneously impressed and depressed because, welp, you just don't live on a dang farm. You've got to haul your goods from the grocery store back to your home, losing an hour of freshness just in transportation. Daily, fresh-picked herbs? Meh, more like weekly herbs, fresh-picked from aisle 9.... Or pulverized in a little shaky container. Am I right?
If you're a foodie follower on MyNorth.com, you're most likely familiar with our friend and local food blogger Kristin Celeste.
She's the self-trained creator of the farm-to-table cooking blog The Intentional Minimalist, wherein every week she features simple seasonal recipes for her readers to follow at home. But don't let the simple fool ya. While her ingredients are typically few in number, they're exploding in flavor. Like, party-in-your-mouth kind of flavor.
But the point we're making today is that Kristin does not live on a farm. She's in a minimalist, microwave-less house and just knows a lot about produce storage and preparation. She buys locally, stores smart, and creates sustainable meals all year-round. How the heck does she do it? Here's a few words of encouragement from the talented mastermind herself:
My refrigerator contents are replenished each week from my 9 Bean Rows Community Supported Agriculture farm share, from ingredients sourced from regional farms and from locally produced artisan products. Seasonal cooking sources sustainable food from your community, eliminates environmental shipping damages and supports our farmers and artisan producers by keeping your money local.
Produce Storage Tips
I use Ball glass jars, glass vases and baskets for produce storage. I enjoy seeing the endless daily inspiration of seasonal produce on display in my refrigerator for spontaneous healthy cooking.
It is possible to store your farm fresh produce without plastic for weeks on end. Some of my favorite produce storage tips are to trim herbs and store them individually in Ball glass storage jars with a little water and they will last for two-three weeks. Simply change the water a few times per week and store the jars in the side door of your refrigerator.
Store seasonal greens upright in 32 ounce Ball wide mouth glass storage jars with a sprouting lid. Do not pack the jar and shake the jar every few days to have your greens last up to two weeks in your refrigerator.
Trim the stems of kale, poc choi, chard and other stemmed greens and store in an open glass vases with a little water and they will be perky for two-three weeks in the refrigerator (remember to change the water a few times per week). Store raw nuts and seeds in the refrigerator in Ball glass jars with sealed lids for months of freshness.
Cooking with what is on hand paired with striving to create new farm-to-table recipes each week leads to creative recipes as well as reaping the benefits of good health through nutrition from eating fresh, unprocessed, seasonal and sustainable produce.

Ran into a friend on the soccer field who spent her morning cleaning out her fridge and putting things in Ball jars. Her inner peace spilled out through her smile.

Tempe Police are looking for the man who grabbed a 15-year-old girl who was walking home from school on Tuesday afternoon.
About 3:30 p.m., the high school student was walking home through an apartment complex at 3730 S. Mill Ave when she was approached by an unknown male.
The victim tried to avoid the suspect but he grabbed her arm. She was able to pull free and ran home. She was not hurt, and he didn't try to follow her.
The girl later called police when her mother arrived home. Officers checked the area for the suspect, but he was not located.
The man is described as a Hispanic male, 30 to 39 years old, 5'2" tall, with short dark hair, heavy set, and wearing a dirty white T-shirt and jeans.
The suspect is facing charges of assault.
TIPLINE: Tempe Police Department at 480-350-8311

It's almost inconceivable today, but a generation ago, some of the biggest pop music events in the history of the planet came and went with no commercially available evidence left behind.
That curious fact is brought to the fore with this week's first-ever home video release of "¡Released!" -- separate DVD and CD sets highlighting performances from four-star-packed Amnesty International concerts and tours that sprang up from 1986 to 1998. Those events brought out high-profile supporters including Bruce Springsteen, Sting, U2, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Miles Davis, Sinead O'Connor, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and many more.
There was, however, a pragmatic reason behind the absence of home video versions after the concerts that raised money and awareness for Amnesty International's efforts to free political prisoners.
PHOTOS: Iconic rock guitars and their owners
The blueprint was established by Bob Geldof as he assembled Live Aid, the massive benefit for African famine relief in 1985. It would have been a nightmare of contract negotiations to get approval from varying -- and competing -- business interests representing all the participants at that mega-show, so Geldof assured all the artists that their performances would never be packaged for commercial release. It would also enhance the uniqueness of the public event.
When Amnesty officials put together the "A Conspiracy of Hope" tour in 1986, they followed the template set by Live Aid, which received an overwhelmingly positive response among the musical community and the public at large.
Flash forward a couple of decades, and new forums — YouTube and other websites — have created a situation where primitive home recordings from the original broadcasts are uploaded for public consumption, with little attention to quality and no payoff for the intended beneficiaries.
PHOTOS: Daughters of rock stars
Those realities prompted Geldof to rethink his position and, in 2004, he led the campaign that yielded a four-DVD set of "Live Aid" performance highlights aimed at generating more money for famine relief.
Likewise, net proceeds from sales of the six-DVD and two-CD "¡Released!" sets will add more to the coffers at Amnesty International. The DVD set, with 12 hours of performance footage, also promises to add more historical perspective on Amnesty's intersection with the pop music community through nearly five additional hours of supplemental features including recently conducted interviews with Springsteen, Sting, Bono, Gabriel, the Who's Pete Townshend and others.
"The release of this material now isn't just a case of better quality of what you already have. These have not been seen since the first time they aired live," said "¡Released!" project producer Martin Lewis, co-creator of the "Secret Policeman's Ball" benefit series in the 1970s and 1980s, which featured Pete Townshend, Sting, Bob Geldof and others and who instigated Amnesty's outreach to the rock community.
PHOTOS: Unexpected musical collaborations
Lewis sifted through all the concert footage and culled it down to 17 hours over six DVDs. "What jumps out for me are the collaborations: Bono with the Police, Bruce Springsteen with Sting singing 'Every Breath You Take' and Sting and Bruce doing 'The River,' " he said. "You see the camaraderie that underscores why they were doing it."
Lewis largely credits Jack Healey, director of Amnesty International USA for a dozen years, for bringing the events to reality.
"Jack Healey is one of the undersung heroes," Lewis said. "He thought up the 1986 U.S. tour with rock and pop stars on the road to benefit Amnesty. Subsequently he and I came up with the idea of the 1988 world tour over a long lunch at the Sunset Marquis. But I genuinely never thought it would happen. Imagine doing something like Live Aid for six weeks all around the world, with all those managers and heavyweight artists. But he produced that tour and made it happen."
Amnesty International staged tours in 1986 and 1988, and one-off concerts in 1990. After Healey left Amnesty in the early 1990s, the series extended with The Struggle Continues..., a concert held in Paris in 1998.
A big reason for the concerts' success is that so many members of the music community passionately supported Amnesty's mission, and lobbied their friends and colleagues to join.
"It's '86 that I got properly connected," Gabriel said in one of the interviews that is part of the DVD set, which also includes some of his home movies from that year's tour. "I'd done the 'Secret Policeman's Ball' before then, but I got the hustling call from Bono to join the 'Conspiracy of Hope' tour going around America…. I ended up getting asked to help with the '88 tour, which was to go around the world: Human Rights Now! I ended up doing Bono's hustling job, and got Sting and Youssou and eventually Springsteen to come on board."
Bono, who has described his and U2's involvement with Amnesty as "a lifetime thing," said, "What I really like about it is that simple action that can join you to somebody. I love the efficiency of just writing a single postcard. You connect yourself with another soul, another sentient being…. And in that moment there begins a really powerful relationship."

It dawned on me that I've never really ventured deeply into Bordeaux and it might be time I did so. But where to start? The only thing I know about my tastes in red wine is that I prefer them on the "rustic" end (lots of chalky tannin and, preferably, with chocolate or leathery tones as opposed to herbs or green flavors - yuck). Which of the major areas should I be exploring? What vintages should I be looking at?
My favorite American wines, when they've avoided the green herbal treatment, have largely been Beringer reds (Private Reserve and Knights Valley).

Damaged northern Arizona highway remains closed
PAGE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Department of Transportation said a stretch of U.S. 89 in northern Arizona will remain closed indefinitely because of damage to the roadway about 25 miles south of Page.
The Arizona Department of Transportation said engineers are trying to determine what caused a 150-foot section of pavement to buckle
However, ADOT said the cause might be what it calls a "geologic event" and that major repairs will be required.
In the meantime, traffic is detouring around the closure by using U.S. 160 and State Route 98. That adds 45 miles of driving.

This is a very well made product. The packaging was almost bullet proof (triple ply corrogated cardboard) . It only took few minutes to assemble and the wrench they provided was good enough to pay money for, unlike tools usually provided in flat packs. I'm very surprised and pleased by the quality of this piece of furniture.

Color was a little darker than picture indicated but that was not a big deal. Overall the product was what I wanted and I am pleased with my purchase. I even ordered a second one. One note...the stain one the stool leg bottoms rubbed off on my light carpeting. This was a bit of a problem and needed to shampoo carpet. I cleaned bottoms of legs, applied adhesive-backed pads to the bottom and problem solved.

Ottomans serve multiple purposes in home decor. Some people use them as footstools, pairing them with armchairs, loveseats or couches. Others invest in storage ottomans with removable tops or trays beneath. In some homes, ottomans may serve as coffee tables, cocktail tables or end tables. Accessorize your ottoman to increase its functionality as well as its style. Below, you'll learn how to accessorize an ottoman.
Ottomans are fun, functional pieces of living room furniture, and they go well beyond their modest size in completing the look of your home. At its most basic, an ottoman consists of a padded cushion, usually atop a wooden frame for resting your feet. Of course, there are countless variations on the basic theme. This ottoman buying guide gives you everything you need to know about how to buy an ottoman that will reward you and your living room again and again.

You've probably worn a pair of ill-fitting shoes all day and come home to find that your feet and especially your heels are aching.

Often overlooked in favor of sofas, armchairs and ottomans, benches deserve more attention than they receive. These versatile pieces of living room furniture serve as style accents to any room and act as convenient seating surfaces. Whether indoor or outdoor, benches come in varieties to satisfy multiple decorating functions. This bench buying guide will give you some shopping points to consider when fitting benches into your existing and future home decorating.
Everywhere you look, you'll see decor spreads that replace the living room's old, faithful coffee table with one or two ottomans. This relatively straightforward substitution can toss a few curve balls at would-be decorators unless they do their homework. Take a look below to learn how to use ottomans for coffee tables.
Old, worn-out furniture often sticks around longer than preferred, creating some problems when it comes to redecorating a room. One common solution for keeping older sofas and chairs around that no longer match a living room color scheme or have too much wear and tear, is to create slipcovers using a sewing machine and new upholstery fabric. Slipcovers can be sewn for all types of furniture and if you are redecorating a room, you should attempt to update all furniture, including ottomans. If you are looking for an affordable way to keep your old ottoman around without disrupting your room's sense of style and coordination, then you might consider sewing your own ottoman slipcover.
When you add new furniture to your living room, like an ottoman or accent chair, it's important that they coordinate with your already existing furniture. Much like coordinating clothing, matching different pieces of furniture is important for creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing room. When you're matching an ottoman with a chair, it's especially important to get a piece that matches or compliments the furniture that you already have, especially since these two items will sit in such close proximity to each other. Keep reading for tips on how to match ottoman and chair.
An ottoman is a versatile piece of furniture that, when chosen and incorporated tastefully, can spruce up your living room, add function and tie various design elements together. How you coordinate an ottoman with your living room depends on factors such as your decorating taste, your living room theme, the size and style of your room, the existing furniture in your space and the personality you want the room to reflect. So, when choosing an ottoman, pick one that satisfies the criteria that matter to you the most.
Finding the perfect sofas and loveseats for your home is essential. Your living room furniture is an important part of your home decor, so making the right furniture choice is vital. When choosing new living room furniture like sofas, loveseats and ottomans you'll need to consider what kind of fabric, style and look you want for your home. Taking the time to consider all your options will help you make the best choice possible. Keep reading for more ideas about popular styles of sofas, loveseats and ottomans for your home.
A new alternative to traditional rocking chairs is are gliders. With so many new furniture fads nowadays, it's hard to keep up with what's popular as well as practical. Gliders and ottomans are a new and upcoming piece of furniture fashion that accents and compliments any room's decor. They're a useful and comfortable piece of furniture that merits some serious contemplation. Below is an introduction to gliders and ottomans that will help you decide if they are right for you.
Take a good look at your living room furniture. Sofas and loveseats are a staple when it comes to the way your living room looks. Pair your sofa with a loveseat or ottoman, and your living room is well on its way to looking its best. Although most people own living room furniture like ottomans and end tables, few realize what an impact their sofa can have on a living room. Sofas and other accompanying furniture can either tie a living room theme together or break it. Keep reading for more information about sofas.
Leather furniture is a wise investment that pays off in style, class and comfort. Leather furniture can range from leather sofas and loveseats to ottomans and recliners. Your new leather furniture will beautify your home quickly. Regrettably, if it's not maintained, leather furniture can age quickly. Your furniture can go from terrific to tacky in a matter of years if it doesn't receive the proper care. Fortunately, there are some easy tips on making leather furniture last that are simple and effective.
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.

It is a great piece. There is a flaw in the fabric that looks like a run. It not that bad so I'm not returning our of sheer drama. It is really hard and not comfortable at all ! I have wood floors and it slides like crazy ! I moved it to the carpet to keep it from sliding so much ! It shipped fast and looks great besides the small run in the fabric but overall it looks great but so stiff and hard

We use this piece as an "occasional" ottoman in our guest bedroom so that folks can rest their feet while watching TV in that room. It is the seond ottoman we have purchased from Overstock and the quality of this one is as good as the first from several years ago. The dark brown color is rich, it wipes down nicely and is very comfortable to use. It is somewhat lightweight which makes it easy to mover around from place to place but some folks may find that it moves around a tile floor/wood floor too easily when being used. We do not have that problem on our tile floors and are very satisfied with it.

I read many reviews before purchasing this ottoman. It's a good value for the price, but don't expect it to look like quality leather. In addition, the color is not orange red, but a true red with a slight black marbling. The box we received the ottoman in was damaged in a few places, but the ottoman had no damage! It will work well for us and adds some fun and a pop of color to the room!!

If Ryan Tannehill becomes a top-15 NFL quarterback, the Dolphins 2012 draft will be considered a success.
The hope internally, of course, is that the quality of this group goes far deeper than Tannehill and that this rookie class eventually is regarded as the best overall since general manager Jeff Irelands arrival in 2008.
The signs, so far, are generally encouraging, with third-rounder Michael Egnew the only one among Miamis top five picks who isnt contributing.
Right tackle Jonathan Martin has allowed 13 quarterback hurries (seventh-most among tackles, according to Pro Football Focus) but just one sack, and said he has graded out well in the teams internal analysis.
Hes done a nice job, said coach Joe Philbin, who made a point to tell Martin that last week after observing him in one-on-one, pass-rush drills. From where he was in the preseason to what hes done [recently], I like the development I see. Hes a very aware player, and I think he has a chance to be a good one.
Martin, selected 42nd overall, was a left tackle at Stanford (he still speaks regularly with the Colts Andrew Luck, the quarterback he protected) and never played a single snap at right tackle until the Dolphins drafted him. The transition was rough at first, he said.
I was using muscles I wasnt using before. My balance is better now, and its close to second nature now. Ive done some good things.
Martin, who plans to attend law school at some point, already prepares like a veteran, with a bedtime routine of studying film of himself and his opponent.
Hes athletic, strong and getting better every week, left tackle Jake Long said.
Lamar Miller, picked 97th overall, has averaged 5.5 yards on 23 carries, compared with second-year running back Daniel Thomas 3.2 yards on 26 attempts. Whats more, Miller is averaging 3.4 yards after contact, fifth-best among all NFL backs.
But Philbin said he is not ready to anoint Miller or Thomas as his No. 2 running back. He said playing time will depend partly on matchups.
The Dolphins seem to trust Thomas more in pass protection, even though he gave up a sack last Sunday.
Thomas pass-protected on 10 of his 21 snaps against Arizona; Miller had that assignment on only one of his eight snaps.
A whole new level
In college, you can be patient, Miller said, comparing it to carrying the ball in the NFL. Someone will miss an assignment and a hole will open. In the NFL, people arent missing assignments.
University of Miami coach Al Golden has kept an eye on the former Hurricanes star and said: It seems like hes got his burst, and hes getting to the edge in the NFL, which is really hard to do.
Olivier Vernon, the 72nd overall pick, produced four quarterback hurries in his 34 snaps against Arizona and has six in 97 snaps overall, according to Pro Football Focus, which ranks him 27th among 59 defensive ends who play in a 4-3. He also has half a sack.
Hes getting better, defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle said. He has some lapses here and there at times, but hes competing hard.
Vernon and Miller, former teammates at UM, appreciate being able to begin their NFL journey together.
It has helped a lot, Miller said. We stay on each other, tell each other to pick it up.
Vernon said when he and Miller are together, special teams coach Darren Rizzi will say, Look, its the U boys!
Egnew struggling
Egnew, who hasnt been active for any of Miamis four games, remains the one disappointment in the group, with offensive coordinator Mike Sherman acknowledging this week that the 78th overall pick is still making rookie mistakes.
The Dolphins believe that Charles Clay is clearly ahead of Egnew as the No. 2 tight end and like using Jeron Mastrud for about a dozen plays per game because of his value as a blocker.
Egnew, whom the Dolphins envision as a potential stretch-the-field threat, wasnt asked to block a lot at Missouri.
Im way better as an in-line blocker than when I got here, he said. Ive got to be more consistent with pass catching. Jeff Ireland tells me to keep getting better. He views me as a weapon.
Egnew said hes not scarred by Sherman telling him in the preseason that he would cut Egnew if Sherman were general manager a scene that aired on HBOs Hard Knocks.
I have thick skin, Egnew said. Hes a great coach and his methods are not questionable.
But Egnew said he needed to become more private on social media after that unfortunate moment on Hard Knocks, because so many people were commenting on it.
Tannehill, Martin, Miller and Vernon arent the only rookies contributing.
Jorvorskie Lane, four years out of college but still listed as a rookie, starts at fullback.
And defensive linemen Derrick Shelby and Kheeston Randall have played 50 and 44 snaps, respectively.

Oct 26 2012: 1
the act of subverting : the state of being subverted; especially : a systematic attempt to overthrow or undermine a government or political system by persons working secretly from within
obsolete : a cause of overthrow or destruction
You are the one who said it is good. Which depends on what side of the fence you are on . The terrorists celebrated in the streets on 9/11. I look upon subversion with a jaundiced eye. Did you really mean subversion is a good thing?
Oct 26 2012: I did. The definition I found is actually "undermine the power and authority of", which is the Mac dashboard dictionary app's definition. All forms of violence are wrong, but you can undermine something in a pacifist manner very easily. This is evidenced by Thoreau, Ghandi, Martin Luther, and Martin Luther King Junior, among many others throughout history. Human beings, by our nature, are drawn by greed. There are many theories why, from Darwinism to the religious theory that we're evil because Eve ate fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. But the fact is we are drawn by greed. Part of greed is a yearn for power. So it follows that most people in power were brought there by greed. If greed is a bad thing, which is a standpoint I can't imagine a contention for, then most people in power have their power for immoral means. Therefore, if we do not question them then there's no one to stand in the way of their greed. If we don't subvert authority then society will fall victim the greed of the few.
As far as property goes, is the status quo not developed by the greed of man? Why else would you claim ownership then for selfish gain? Then it follows that the concept of property comes from greed. So how can the concept of private property be morally good?
The terrorists on 9/11 celebrated an act of violence because they (being people who chose, for whatever reason, to give up individual, rational thought) believed that God hates America and the beliefs by which it is governed. They were (most likely) swayed by the arguments of a selfish madman. This type of subversion is very different from pacifist subversion. I, based on an ethical grounding, would never choose to harm a human being to further a cause, only to protect the life of another human being. But yet I choose to actively subvert the powers that be. Is that terrorism?

Oct 26 2012: Where did you get the term subversive pacifist from? What I'm talking about is anarcho-pacifism. Google it! It's a beautiful thing, if a tid bit idealistic. But if we're not at least a little idealistic then how can anything get any better? I haven't watched you're video yet (I will presently) but I can tell you now it's anything but infallible and if you think my argument is "crap" then it's best to present a formal argument. Otherwise, you're expecting me to adhere to doctrine, which is what the nazi's would do. I still don't understand how you can't see that subversion doesn't require violence though. I do it daily, as did the men I listed in my last post. Also, the velvet revolution ended socialism in Czechoslovakia without violence. Were they not subversive?
Oct 26 2012: How do you figure? Martin Luther King Jr. was fighting against the standardized notion that black people are inferior to whites. When you fight against standards you are being subversive. If that isn't subversive then the standpoint being presented here certainly isn't. Also, did you watch your video? The data they presented showed that the west (who are capitalist and use private property) first came to prominence and then the east (specifically China, who are communist and do not have private property) have come to prominence since then. If Private property was the reason that the west is superior then shouldn't we still be ahead since we still have private property and they still don't? Also, I approached this from an ethical standpoint, which you have yet to contest. Further, anarcho-pacifism is quite subversive as we challenge the standard notion that a government is required for society to exceed. Even by your narrow definition, anracho-pacifism is subversive as we seek to eliminate the necessity for government. In order to do this all governments would need be overthrown.
