The other day a Bulldogs fan asked me to look into my crystal ball a bit and predict whether potential Heisman Trophy candidate Todd Gurley will go down in the annals of UGA football as one of the program's greatest backs.
My answer was that, if he is 100 percent healthy this season and remains that way, he certainly would at least merit being in the conversation.
Gurley definitely is one of the most talented running backs I've ever seen playing in Athens. The only problem is we've never seen him fully healthy for an entire season. However, even at less than full-speed he's an awesome back; that last drive against Tech last year was one of the most imposing performances I've seen by a Georgia tailback.
If he has the kind of season he's capable of having in 2014, Gurley likely would be a strong contender in the Heisman voting. And as far as all-time UGA backs go, he'd certainly be jostling with Garrison Hearst for place of honor just behind Hershel Walker.
As Mark Richt told UGA fans in Savannah last week, "When Todd's healthy and Todd's in shape he's as good as anybody I've ever been around, up close. I saw film of Herschel Walker, I've seen film of other people. But to just say I've coached him or had a close-up look at the guy, he could be as good as any of them. Hopefully, he'll be healthy and if he's healthy he'll be in good condition. He loves to play in the big games. He's a good player."
It's just a shame that, unless he's hurt and misses some games, this is probably the last year the Dogs will have Gurley. Just think what kind of numbers he could put up in a four-season UGA career!
Talking about where Gurley might rank among all those great backs who've played for the Red and Black got me to thinking about a piece I wrote five years ago about picking an all-time dream Bulldogs backfield.
Back in May 2009, I wrote this:
If you could pick and choose from throughout the ages, who'd be in your all-time Bulldogs dream backfield? Would you try to get Trippi or Sinkwich in there with Herschel? Who'd play fullback? Quarterback?
Particularly at running back, there's an embarrassment of riches from which to choose. Besides the obvious No. 34, fellow Heisman winner Frank Sinkwich and his 1942 backfield mate Charley Trippi, there's Willie McClendon, Musa Smith, Hearst, Kevin McLee, Jimmy Poulos, Rodney Hampton, Lars Tate, Terrell Davis, Glynn Harrison, Robert Edwards, Tim Worley and the recently departed Knowshon Moreno, just to rattle off a few.
Stellar fullbacks available include Bill Hartman (longtime assistant coach and Bulldog Club scholarship fund namesake), Theron Sapp (the famed "Drought Breaker" and the fourth player to have his jersey number retired, along with Herschel, Sinkwich and Trippi), Ronnie "Bull" Jenkins, Brad Johnson, Keith Henderson, Mack Strong, Verron Haynes and recent Dog Brannan Southerland.
Then there are the wingbacks, flankers and others playing a position that is now more receiver but originally was one of the halfbacks, including the great Jimmy Orr, Horace King, Gene Washington, Andre Hastings, Brice Hunter, Hines Ward (who was technically a split end after playing tailback and quarterback but often lined up in the slot and still sometimes ran the ball), Terrence Edwards (who went back and forth from split end to flanker), Mohamed Massaquoi (likewise) and star flanker A.J. Green.
Quarterbacks? Again, lots to choose from, depending on whether you want primarily a running attack (a natural inclination with those tailbacks), a passing attack, or something more balanced like Richt employs. Among your many choices: Johnny Rauch, Zeke Bratkowski, Fran Tarkenton, Larry Rakestraw, Andy Johnson, Matt Robinson, Ray Goff, Buck Belue, Eric Zeier, Mike Bobo, David Greene, D.J. Shockley and Matthew Stafford.
So, who to choose?
My brother Jonathan, a true believer in the running game, said he would "run the wishbone with Herschel, Knowshon and Verron Haynes."
My other brother, Tim, who thinks outside the box, would go back to the future by running the old wing-T offense (precursor to today's "wildcat") with Sinkwich taking the snaps at tailback (technically the quarterback was mostly used for blocking in that offense), Herschel at the other running back position and Trippi or Moreno at wingback. This actually would be a pretty balanced offense since "Flatfoot Frankie" threw for 2,331 yards and rushed for 2,271 yards during his three-year career, scoring 60 touchdowns — 30 rushing and 30 passing. Tim says if he needed a blocking fullback, he'd use the junior-year Southerland, and if Sinkwich were in a passing mode, "I'd have him throw to Hines and A.J."
Tim's buddy Van would run a more traditional Dooley-style offense with Herschel at tailback, "Pulpwood" Smith at fullback and Poulos as the other running back. His QB would be Johnson, backed by Greene.
My high school classmate Johnny, who actually favors defensive players, limited his choices to those he saw play but couldn't limit himself to just four backs in his backfield. Among his choices: tailbacks Harrison ("when he was given the ball, Gliding Glynn did more with it than most other running backs at UGA") and Hearst ("work horse with results"); fullbacks Ronnie Stewart from the 1981 team ("who do you think opened up those holes?"), Henderson, Haynes and Southerland; and among his quarterbacks was his "personal favorite," Andy Johnson (one of our Athens High School classmates). Moreno, Johnny said, "left the Dawgs too early to make the dream team."
OK, now to my own dream backfield.
I'd alternate between the I-formation and more or less a pro set and, of course, Herschel would be a given at tailback. To spell him, I'd have Hearst, who ranks right behind Herschel in most of the Dogs' rushing records. Just for fun, occasionally I'd load the backfield with both of them.
My change-of-pace back would be the 5-10, 185-pound Sinkwich (especially good for halfback passes) or the 6-0, 186-pound Trippi. With the size of defensive players these days, I'd want to try to get them the ball in open space.
My fullback would be Strong, with Haynes spelling him and giving me another running threat. And I'd have Hines and Orr rotating as my flankers. I'd cheat a bit by adopting the old Dooley two-quarterback system, with Andy directing my running attack and either Tarkenton or Greene chunking the seed.
(2014 update: I might insert A.J. ahead of Orr in my flanker rotation, and Aaron Murray probably now would merit a spot in my QB rotation, too.)
I think we'd score a lot of points.
Your turn. …
Congratulations to UGA and U.S. Olympics swimming star Shannon Vreeland, chosen as the 2013-14 Southeastern Conference H. Boyd McWhorter Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Vreeland will receive a $15,000 postgraduate scholarship from AT&T and the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
Vreeland, from Overland Park, Kan., is a double-major in Economics and International Affairs and is on target to graduate in December. She currently holds a 3.83 grade point average. She's also a member of the UGA Honors Program.
And, in the pool, she placed second in the 200 freestyle, fifth in the 100 freestyle and sixth in the 500 freestyle at the NCAAs as the Lady Bulldogs won their second straight national championship. She came in second on the 800 freestyle relay, third on the 400 medley relay and fourth on the 400 freestyle relay at the NCAAs.
Vreeland, a team captain, won the 200 freestyle and placed second in the 100 and 500 freestyle at the SEC Championships as the Lady Bulldogs won their fifth straight title. She finished first on the 400 and 800 freestyle relays and second on the 400 medley relay at the SEC meet.
Oh, and she also won a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics and three gold medals at the 2013 World Championships.
"I am honored and humbled to receive this recognition," Vreeland said in a UGA news release. "I have coaches, teammates, support staff, professors, classmates and friends who have helped me grow so much during my time in Athens. You are cared for here on so many levels. I'm grateful for what we've done in the pool and equally grateful for the educational opportunity I've had. I'm pleased to accept this award on behalf of the University of Georgia and everyone associated with Georgia swimming and diving."
Shannon is what college athletics is all about!
I'm going to be off a few days, but the Blawg will be back next week. In the meantime, keep those Junkyard Mail letters coming to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Todd Gurley II is going to be the man in 2014. I have not heard him say anything about this being his last year.
May 7th, 2014
12:48 pm
Nice article about the backfield. Let's not forget that a great line makes an average back look a lot better. Not to say these backfield choices are anywhere near average.
If Gurley looks great this year it will reflect upon the line. If he doesn't it may not be a reflection upon him.
Doesn't #34 still have a year of college eligibility? If he does, do we have the line to open those holes? To me, it all starts up front.
Go, Georgia Bulldawgs.

May 7th, 2014
1:39 pm
If Gurley stays healthy and oline is even a little above average he will be one of the best(a Heisman and he is just a notch below Walker. A NC and Heisman and he becomes equal with Walker)
All time QB…Kirby Moore!!
Let us begin the AJC Ticker countdown to kickoff!!
May 7th, 2014

To me, Gurley is probably physically 2nd best to Herschel. I think if he could just stay healthy he could be one of the best of All-Time. He's great no doubt and if he can win that Heisman trophy this year, there's no way you can't put him at least top 3 All-Time at UGA. If not top 2. But nobody will ever be greater than Herschel was. At least not in my lifetime.

Had Robert Edwards come to UGA as a fulltime RB and not jostled around at another position and not had those injuries I believe he would be 2nd or 3rd
May 7th, 2014

Unless Gurley pulls a Clowney I would rank him right there with Hearst
May 7th, 2014
4:27 pm
On second thought considering the lousy O-line play we continue to see; if Gurley doesnt pull a Clowney this season I probably will put him 2nd if he can make it to 1500 yards

Congrats Shannon!
Those are some of the best Dawg stories.
So many wonderful student-athletes and exceptional people at UGA.
Many times overshadowed by the exception, not the norm, of negative incidents by a few.

So we've never seen Gurley complete a season without getting hurt? Seems like he played every game of his freshman season. Seriously, do you even research things before you publish them?

Bill King Great story!……….I'm sure Dawg Nation is having fun with this one…………..I know I am. Me? I don't know where to start, it's like a kid in a candy store thinking of putting your "dream team" together……….I won't go on but I will comment on a couple DGDs I recall. Matt Robinson was 12 yrs old when I was 13 playing for the Buckhead Red Devils………….Mathew had an amazing arm even that young……….probably the first great "pure passer" at Georgia………Andy Johnson was the Tim Tebow of his time……….he was at least a couple years older than me, my high school played Athens High in the North Georgia playoffs……."get the picture" I was a pretty stout kid, and afraid of nothing…………..well Mr. Johnson returned a punt, the field opened like the red sea, and he and I hit head-on………..he went straight through me to the end zone, I was on the sidelines shaking the cobwebs out…………Johnson ran the ball for The New England Patriots after Georgia………..I became a salesman……………No Gurley hasn't proven himself yet………seems too much like Clowny, lazy, afraid he'll hurt himself, or take too many hits in college……….what ever happened to pinning your ears back and letting loose?……………well that's my opinion………..again, great fun Bill………….Regards, RED

Gurley is one of the best backs ever to attend UGA but will not be able to realize his true potential and worth to the program due to the questionable ability of the OL's he has so far experienced during his career..
May 8th, 2014
10:56 am
Ray Goff was the best running QB I remember…… "We never had a more effective option runner than Ray Goff. He appeared slow because of his size, but he was really pretty fast. He was a swivel-hipped runner with great leg strength."
— Vince Dooley, Georgia Bulldogs football head coach
May 8th, 2014
12:06 pm
Gurley is his own O-Line. A back with his talent makes O-lines look good. That said in my humble opinion, Gurley had been good but to date, he hasn't been great. At least enough to be mentioned with the likes of Walker, Hearst or Sink. All of that could change this year and I hope that it does. It's not been Gurley's fault. He's splitting the totes with others where the greats didn't, so much and of course he has been hurt.
May 8th, 2014
3:06 pm
Agree with Red Dog, Andy J was one heck of a runner at qb. Saw about every game HW played, and I believe that I witnessed the greatest rb of all times, at UGA and elswhere..Size,speed,strength, he had it all. A freak of nature for sure! Mr. Gurley may have most of HW's qualities, but due to injuries and such, I do not think we have seen enough of him to call him one of the greatest. I do not ever remember HW taking a play off, or let injuries bother him. How can we ever forget that Sugar Bowl, dislocated shoulder and all! The greatest by far!!
May 8th, 2014
3:21 pm
Gurley is within a whisker of Hearst at this point and if he stays healthy this year, he will surpass him as the 2nd best back in Georgia history. I realize that all the gloom patrol guys like to hop on their soap box about how underwhelming our O-line is.because it is against your religion to not take any opportunity to complain. Can't you give Gurley his due without finding someway to spin into a negative?
May 8th, 2014
3:59 pm
If (big if) Gurley stays healthy he could be unbelievable, considering that he is not behind a top-notch SEC line.
May 8th, 2014
5:57 pm
I seem to remember the O-line opening huge holes for Gurley and company last year.
His talent does allow Gurley to turn a short gain in to a long run.
If I remember correctly, the O-line blew open holds for Gurley against Tech in overtime.
Against Nebraska, the Huskers stacked the line and played quality defense in the secondary. It didn't help that receivers dropped passes in the 4th quarter that could have led to victory.
No area of a team is perfect. But the O-line performed well last year … and they helped set school records for offense!
May 8th, 2014
6:23 pm
The O-line struggled at times and that was against the top speed rushers we faced. The rushhing game was pretty good all year but took a hit when teams stopped fearing the pass when our top line receivers were out. They still pushed SC all over the field and Spurrier said so. We won the line of scrimmage against LSU as well. That game wouldn't have been as close as it was if Gurley hadn't gone down. He still almost had more yardage than Hill in only 1 and fraction quarters.
Look around and if you expect to see an O-line like Bama had in 2012 again any time soon you will be disappointed. Auburn's line was pretty good last year but they had the benefit of an offense that allowed them to pass block 4 or 5 yards down field sometimes. That allows the deception of their offense to be that much more effective.
No our line wasn't dominating but it was good and when the offense is balanced it is plenty good enough. I am sure that Bobo would like for it to be even better and we'll see what happens in the fall.

If anybody actually doubts Nick Chubb is the real deal check this out:
"Chubb won the Class AAAA shot put Thursday afternoon on his final throw of 55 feet.
The 5-foot-11, 226-pound Chubb will show off his motor today after qualifying in the 100- and 200-meter dashes and the 4×100 meter relay.
"I'm planning to medal, place in everything I do — top three in everything hopefully," he said.
He ran a 10.69 in the sectionals in the 100 and is seeded second."
Just think what kind of stiff arm he could give a would be tackler? Or should I say "some poor schlub trying to tackle him." I pity the fools. LOL

10.69 sec in the 100m, for a 226lb person, is awesome!!!

Shaq Wiggens transfer is the tip of the iceberg – there is a new sheriff in town named Jeremy Pruitt and he is going to demand that everyone is on the same page and hold everyone accountable, no matter how many stars they earned back in High School. Add this leadership style to his recruiting ability and you have HC material.

Colorado………Pretty nice conversation, eh? I agree with you, I think the thing to do is when one of these fools shows his backside……….Give 'em the business hard and fast…………then get back to our enjoyable college football conversation………..Looks to me like the negative has created a "positive" coalition………….If this group sticks together, we may not always agree, but we can damn sure keep a couple "trolls" at bay……….whadaya think my friend?…………RED
May 10th, 2014
1:11 am
Bob, I believe you're right!……….and while I'm sorry to see Wiggins go, thought he would have done much better this year………..I see coach Pruitt's fingerprints all over it……….He just flat-out isn't going to take anything less than the best effort from all his players…………As I've said before: Coach Richt has never had any problem lighting up the scoreboard, it's the D that we've had problems with….maybe the tide s beginning to turn………. I'm hoping Pruitt is Richt's Erk Russell……….now wouldn't that be sweet?

Colorado……Speaking of Nick Chubb, I couldn't agree more. I remember when Gurley and Marshall were being recruited……most were drooling over Marshall and Gurley seemed an afterthought………sort of the way I see Sony Michel and Nick Chubb………..don't get me wrong, I wish all recruits well, and respect Keith Marshall……….but this Bulldog thinks Nick Chubb is going to be flat-out unstoppable…………I think if everyone stays healthy……….Nick Chubb will be sharing touches with Todd Gurley…………It sad Marshall had to get hurt, but I think he is pushing it trying to come back this year[you saw that hit]………If he would only give it one more year to heal, he would give himself some separation, and probably secure a better draft position
May 10th, 2014
1:39 am
Colorado……….I see it the same with Nick Chubb……….remember two years ago the buzz about Marshall and Gurley?………Seems like Gurley was almost an afterthought……….everyone was drooling over Marshall……….don't get me wrong, I love Keith Marshall, but Gurley turned out to be the stud……….Looks very much the same with Sony Michel and Chubb………..Sony Michel is rated higher, but I think we will see Todd Gurley sharing touches with Nick Chubb by about game four………….and if they remain healthy?………..whooooa that'll wear down any D

So many great backs from the UGA program. Gurley's story is still being written. He is one of the most violent runners I have seen. He reminds me of some of the recent Alabama backs. You can tell he has a passion for the game and gives great effort.
Some of my favorites since Dooley exited have been Hearst, Edwards, and Moreno.
I certainly hope our gameplan is to feature Gurley and the other backs, but I don't know if that is Bobo and Richt's natural inclination. Will they adapt to their personnel?

Apostille (Nebraska Secretary of State)
An apostille is an official certificate that is issued by the Secretary of State that certifies the transfer records (e.g., school transcripts, diplomas, and/or degrees) are valid. There are no transfer documents available for grades 10th -12th since they are not part of basic education; however, grades 10-12 do require an apostille.
Binational Migrant Education Program
In 1976, a group from California initiated efforts to work with Mexico on issues related to the education of students who migrate between California and Mexico. Thereafter, other border States became involved, giving birth to the Binational Migrant Education Program (BMEP). The program was initiated and supported by individual States that had a migrant student population that migrates regularly between Mexico and the United States.
College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP)
The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) assists students who are migratory or seasonal farmworkers (or children of such workers) enrolled in their first year of undergraduate studies at an IHE. The funding supports completion of the first year of studies.
Consortium for Quality and Consistency in Identification and Recruitment (ConQIR)
The Consortium for Quality and Consistency in Identification and Recruitment (ConQIR) was established to promote interstate and intrastate coordination among 12 Consortium States with the aim of quality assurance, reliability, and consistency in ID&R practices and activities. ConQIR is no longer active, but the website is still active so that individuals can have access to the resources it developed.
ESCORT, located at the State University of New York at Oneonta, is a national resource center dedicated to improving the educational opportunities for migrant children. ESCORT maintains the National Migrant Education Hotline and also conducts professional and program development activities to State Education Agencies, Local Education Agencies and schools to help improve services to migrant children and other English Language Learners. ESCORT annually sponsors a National Identification & Recruitment Forum to provide training and networking opportunities for recruiters and others concerned with the identification of migrant children.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
The Geneseo Migrant Center provides a variety of services and opportunities for migrant farmworkers and their families on a regional, statewide, and national basis to encourage and assist them in achieving their full potential.
The Harvest of Hope Foundation was established in 1997 as the only national foundation to raise funds exclusively for migrant farm worker individuals and families. The Foundation serves to support migrant farmworkers and their families with emergency aid; issue small grants to programs that assist migrant families; provide financial aid to migrant students attending college via the Paths To Scholarships Fund; heighten awareness of the plight of migrant farmworkers in the country; and coordinate with agencies assisting migrant families and their children with education, immunizations and medical needs, and social services.
High School Equivalency Program (HEP)
The HEP was created in 1967 to help migratory and seasonal farmworkers (or children of such workers), who are 16 years of age or order and not currently enrolled in school, obtain the equivalent of a high school diploma and, subsequently, gain employment or begin postsecondary education or training. The program serves more than 7,000 students annually. Services to HEP participants include outreach to eligible individuals; educational and counseling services designed to help students obtain a GED certificate; placement services in a university, college, junior college, military service, or career position; weekly stipends; residential housing; and exposure to educational and cultural activities usually not available to migrant or seasonal farmworkers.
LEARN-2-Succeed is a Migrant Education Program Consortium Incentive Grant with funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Migrant Education. Sixteen states participate in the LEARN Consortium including Arkansas, Colorado, Hawaii, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah (Lead State), Vermont, and Virginia. The focus of the consortium is to provide teachers with tools for quickly assessing and providing supplemental research-based literacy lessons to students in grades K-12 to improve their foundational literacy skills. Lessons address reading, writing, and study skills and are designed specifically for highly mobile students who are often English language learners.
Mathematics Achievement and Success Through Engagement in Resources for Migrant Students (MASTERS)
MASTERS (Mathematics Achievement and Success Through Engagement in Resources for Migrant Students) is a Migrant Education Program Consortium Incentive Grant designed in response to substantial needs identified in migrant students in the lead state of Texas and the consortium receiving states of Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Montana, New York, Washington, and Wisconsin (plus Nebraska participating as a partner state not competing for CIG funds). The goal of MASTERS is to provide services designed (based on review of scientifically based research) to improve the mathematics proficiency of migratory children whose education is interrupted.
National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH)
The National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH), established in 1975, is dedicated to improving the health status of farmworker families by providing information services and products to a network of more than 500 migrant health center service sites in the United States as well as other organizations and individuals serving the farmworker population. NCFH is a private, not-for-profit corporation located in Buda, Texas whose mission is "to improve the health status of farmworker families through appropriate application of human, technical, and information resources."
Office of Migrant Education (OME)
The Office of Migrant Education (OME) administers four grant programs that provide academic and supportive services to the children of families who migrate to find work in the agricultural, fishing, and timber industries. The programs are designed to help migrant children, who are uniquely affected by the combined effects of poverty, language and cultural barriers, and the migratory lifestyle, to meet the same challenging academic content and student academic achievement standards that are expected of all children. The Migrant Education Program is based on the premise that, with the right supportive services, migrant children can achieve at the same level as their peers.

Portable Assisted Study Sequence (PASS) Program
The Portable Assisted Study Sequence (PASS) Program consists of self-contained, semi-independent study courses which enable students to earn secondary-level academic credits. Participating students generally take these courses in order to make up courses, meet graduation requirements or cope with scheduling difficulties.
The Pew Hispanic Center, founded in 2001, is a nonpartisan research organization supported by The Pew Charitable Trusts. Its mission is to improve understanding of the U.S. Hispanic population and to chronicle Latinos' growing impact on the entire nation. The Center does not advocate for or take positions on policy issues. It is a project of the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan "fact tank" in Washington, DC that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world.
Strategies, Opportunities, & Services for OSY (SOSOSY)
Strategies, Opportunities, & Services for OSY (SOSOSY) is a Consortium Incentive Grant funded by the Office of Migrant Education (OME) at the United States Department of Education (USDE) to build capacity in states with a growing secondary-aged migrant out-of-school youth population.
The U.S. Department of Education launched a free Web site to help immigrants learn English. The site provides approximately 11 million adults with low levels of English proficiency with easily accessible and free English language training. The 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy documented that as many as 11 million adults in the U.S. are not literate in English. Currently, local providers are able to serve only approximately one million of those learners annually, prompting the need for a Web site of this kind.

The play seemed pretty routine. Kevin Ware goes up to try and block and three-point shot, but coming down he snapped his tibia, the bone piercing out of his skin.
"Which complicates it greatly because now you've taken a closed fracture and made it now a compound or open fracture which increases your infection rate," said Dr. Jeff Kalo from Core Orthopedics.
It was a horrific scene. His teammates crying, some close to vomiting.
Dr. Kalo says that sort of injury is typically seen in high velocity motor vehicle accidents. That's why he wonders if Ware had a weak spot in his tibia.
"Did he have a pre-existing condition, or is it purely bad luck and excessive force on one small body part? Because, he did land in a funny position when all of his body weight when on one leg."
Ware now has a rod in his tibia to stabilize it.
"There are some screws on each end that hold that rod, so it can't twist," said Dr. Kalo.
If infection stays away, Ware should be able to ride a stationary bike quite soon and begin running in six to twelve weeks.
"If his soft tissues are good and it doesn't get infected he'll be back to play for sure next year," said Dr. Kalo. "And, (he) should have a long career without this thing being much of a problem."

2012 is Over and We Have Plans for a Fun 2013 Happy New Year to YOU
Hi! If you visited us in 2012 we thank you and hope you had fun trying out some of our recipes or crafts or just enjoying our blog. If this is your first visit to KindredLive.com we want to welcome you! We are Megan and Holly. We are a couple of teens who are LLF's (life long friends). We have known each other since we were born and we share a strong friendship. We began our blog in 2012 and for 2013 Our New Year's Resolution is that we hope to share more of our thoughts & ideas on Faith, Friends, Fashion & Fun and we hope you will want to join in on the fun too!
Click On The Links To Find A Few Of Our Fave Posts from 2012
Our Faith Is Core To Who We Are
Our Faith blog is a place to come and spend a little time with God. Join us for some God time.
God loves us and wants us to be grateful. I am learning in Church from our Pastor that God wants us to be grateful in both good and bad times. Being grateful helps us to appreciate what we have been given. When we make it a point to focus on the wonderful things we have been given, we appreciate life more. When things are tough its even more important to be grateful. Being grateful when things are difficult requires us to have faith that God has a plan for us that we cannot see. I love writing in my Gratitude Journal every night. Megan
Paul says, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
Girlfriends Are So Special
Holly and I have been girlfriends for a very long time and not just in 2012. All our lives actually. We are alike and yet we are very different! And, we each have other very special BFF's in our lives too and we can't wait to spend more time with each of them! Life without girlfriends would be no fun at all! In 2013 we hope to give you great ideas that you can share with the special girlfriends in your life too.
A KL Boredom Breaker - Gather all of your girlfriends and create a personalized pillowcase for your next sleepover. Let me show you how to make one!
Fashion Trends from 2012
We love cute clothes and are always looking for new fashion trends. Yet, we each have our own style and embrace our individuality. In 2012 we went on a shopping trip to TJ Maax and pretended we were America's Next Top Model and had so much fun! We can't wait to see where 2013 takes us shopping. We plan to give you lots of shopping tips and ideas to share with your girlfriends. Please share your tips with us too!
2012 Sharing of Crafts and Cooking
Our Fun page will find us pursuing our passions for art, cooking, music, and sports.
We had so much in 2012 and love to learn about each other's fave sport and finding fun crafts & recipes to try. Here we will share what we find with all of you. This is the kind of thing you will find on our Fun blog.
We hope you will share your ideas for fun with us too!
Thank you for visiting us here at KindredLive.com – come back soon and join in the fun!
2012 was exciting and we know 2013 will lead us to more Faith, Friends, Fashion & Fun. We hope you will join us in 2013 and we thank you for joining us in 2012. Happy New Year!

Haiti: CARE provides clean water after Hurricane Sandy
Families in Haiti are struggling to recover from Hurricane Sandy's aftermath.
Although it did not directly touch Haiti, the country received an unprecedented level of rain. The heavy downpour continued for over 72 hours and resulted in severe flooding in the lowlands of the island. The destruction is widespread: Homes and crops are damaged; livestock died. Haiti is extremely mountainous, with only two percent of its original forest cover remaining, making it highly vulnerable to flooding and landslides.
The western regions of Grande Anse and Leogane, where CARE is currently active, were badly hit. According to an initial CARE field assessments, over 6,500 homes have been flooded, damaged or destroyed, with approximately 7,500 persons having been displaced. However, a complete overview is sketchy at best as access to many areas, particularly in the Grande Anse, is difficult. The main route is inundated in places with a key bridge destroyed and other routes are impassable by vehicles. Boats and airplanes are currently the only means to transport relief items quickly. Overall in the country, the Haitian National Emergency Center reports a total of 7,627 families (approximately 38,000 individuals) have been affected. Forty-four deaths are reported and at least 19 people were gravely injured
CARE Haiti is active in the Grand Anse and Leogane and had been preparing for a possible emergency response in these areas before the hurricane hit the country. The emergency team is now planning to support affected people with clean water as in many areas, water points have been damaged. This has left the population dependent on river water for consumption, which is not only dangerous due to its high levels, but also poses risk to cholera.
CARE has already been working in Grand Anse and will assist in distributing aqua tabs to purify water, soap and jerry cans. In order to provide clean water, CARE Haiti's water and sanitation team may also install water bladders as needed. CARE will also assess current project sites and cholera treatment centres to determine the level of repair required to re-establish access to potable water and sanitation facilities.
In Leogane, especially in the areas of Saria and Bino, CARE is supporting other area organizations which have already response plans in place. In Saria and Bino, 300 families lost their homes and all possessions. CARE has more than 40 trained staff, including social mobilizers, water and sanitation experts, as well as engineers that are available to assist organizations carrying out emergency assistance.

It looks like Maxim magazine will be attempting to set up a photo shoot with AJ Lee, so that the WWE diva can be featured on the cover of an upcoming issue. They recently conducted a poll, and she managed to beat out more known female celebrities.
"Late night YouTube watching was a bad idea. So many boys pretending to be professional wrstlers. A pair of trunks and a ring don't make you a wrestler."
- Mike Bennett bashing fans who are amateur wrestlers
Maria Kanellis is the latest professional wrestler to do a podcast show. She is doing the show with her fiancee and ROH star Mike Bennett, in order to raise their stock with wrestling fans. The couple has managed to get their show distributed through iTunes.
Mike Bennett made his official debut for ROH at Proving Ground, an event held in Boston. He worked a match against Daniel Puder, the former Tough Enough competitor and WWE star, and lost. Bennett is considered a young guy who should be with the company for the next several years.

Good morning, Bostonians, Marty Walsh will be your new mayor. For the first time in 20 years, it won't be some guy named Menino. How does it feel? Don't think about it for too long.
That's because for those of you who do business in the city of Boston, you've got a lot of homework — namely memorizing a new political playbook. Tom Menino ruled this town with an iron fist, and made plenty of friends and enemies along the way. So who's up, who's down?

Nuclear plant refueling and temporary workers

I live and work approximately ten miles from the infamous Three Mile Island nuclear plant. As many of you probably know, this facility (and I assume others around the country) is periodically shut down for refueling. From what I understand, hundreds of temporary workers are brought in to assist with this activity.
I believe the last refueling outage at TMI was back in fall 2009. Literally thousands of temp workers arrived for that one due to some other major work (installation of new steam generators. etc) that was being done at the time. I assume that many of these workers stayed at local hotels, possibly rented cars, ate at local restaurants, etc. during their time in the area.
My question has to do with how closely a small army of workers like this is checked for potential contamination before they leave a plant site everyday. In other words, what is the chance that any of these workers could inadvertently transport radioactive particles/material off-site (into the community) via their clothing, shoes, etc?
Thanks for taking the time to read

Obama's Job Now In Jeopardy?
September 02, 2011
Diana Furchtgott-Roth
A 9.1 percent unemployment rate is a serious handicap for an incumbent. But its not too late for President Obama to change course and make America a friendlier environment for job creation by changing regulations.
His cabinet secretaries control regulations that are now discouraging growth. A few examples. President Obama could ask EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to hold off on new environmental regulations until unemployment goes down. He could ask the NLRB acting general counsel to drop the charges against Boeing for opening a new plant in South Carolina. He could ask Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to speed up on drilling permits. He could ask Labor Department Secretary Hilda Solis to go slow on new dust regulations that will result in closure of coal mines, and new regulations on federal contractors for hiring veterans that will cause endless paperwork. Theres Dodd-Frank regulations too. The list goes on, its just up to the president�.

No trip to Singapore is complete without a stay at The Royal Plaza on Scotts. Excellent facilities, friendly attentive staff, exceptional food at The Carousel Restaurant and best of all "100% smoke free". If only all hotels were like this…

Interesting hotels to choose from,. Good idea too!
saw your ad on Asian Journeys web site – nice cocept, look forward to the results
We have always been more than satisfied with the standards of the Bayview hotels
We have been staying at bayview beach for years and our only complaint is that we cannot stay longer
each time I went to "bayview" in Penang, I felt at home. "My second home" we called it! The rooms big and clean, a family atmodphere, the staff always friendly and very helpful. How much I would like to be able to return this year!
Love most of these great hotels in Asia…Best hotels in the world by far…
We have been going to BayView Beach Resort Penang now for over 15years. Love it. Hotel situation and staff are just incredible.
Simply relaxing looks of Hotels
I think the sweetest thing is that the right person you are going with no matter where you stay!
All so awesome!!
Heard about this hotel , will be there to experience soon !
It's awesome !
For foodies, Singapore would be good choice, foods abundance and safe to walk around within these hotels, hassle free. Taxi is reliable.
I love seaview hotels!
All the hotels are so beautiful. I wish I could stay in each of them.
Staying at the Bayview Beach Resort in Penang is a wonderful, relaxing experience. The staff are attentive and can't do enough for you, the facilities are great, my children enjoy going to kids club , and the beautiful gardens and swimming pool are brilliant .
Tough decision to make when choosing
We have stayed at the Bayview Beach Resort, Penang, many times and thoroughly enjoyed our stays. The rooms, views, food/restaurants, staff/service, gardens and Management are all first class. We would recommend this hotel to anyone and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in Penang.
Great Hotel list and facilities offered by HC
I have stayed in many hotels through out S E A, and the service allways to be 1st rate, budget hotel, or 5 star I like the people in SEA,the food, tours and value for money, Singapore to be a very clean country and even had a dress code at night, malacca I liked very much going to the markets etc I only found out about these places at the tour desks in these hotels
Some of those I didn't vote for are just as good as the one I voted for.
good to have the voting contest. it will be easier for me to compare the hotels for my family trip to those places.
What a great survey..The world of travel and accommodation is breathtaking..I just love Malaysia..Thankyou.
Where is Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa in Penang under Best Beach Front Hotel?
they are all good & best..
It's comforting to note we have a lot of high end hotels in the region.
Like the view on top of Marina Sands, spectacular
My favourite hotel in KL is Hilton International
2 hotels i choose in singapore because 1 is everyone know about that and the other 1 is i had wonderful night stayed there…
THat's a great survey! I had stayed some of the hotels.
Why is Holiday Inn Melaka not in Malaysia's list?
No Tune Hotels in the shoestring budget category?
Like the marina bay all the hotel place.
All the hotels are unique and spacious and had beautiful setting but to me the most important is to had a spacious and comfortable bed to rest after a busy and tired day out exploring and shopping out in the day time.
Not an easy task to choose the best among the best!
Where value, comfort, services counts, the above hotels are the best to choose!
Parkroyal Singapore is the best situated hotel in asia to be close to every thing BRAVO
So many wonderful hotels makes it difficult to choose between them.
Marina Bay Sands hotel is a complete hotel with good scenic views and multiple activities for everyone.
i would prefer for a cozy ambiance.
Good luck! for winner!!
Love to stay in Singapore & Malaysia hotel!
Furama Bukit Bintang – Rooms are very clean and spacious, very
centralise and convenient location for shopping and lot of entertainments.
Shopeapore!!! Hail to all shoppaholics!!! All the hotels in Singapore that are presented to vote has each very own wonderful characters, but the enchanting Fullerton, the edgy Marina Bay Sands, the oh-so-strategic Mandarin Orchard, and the relaxing Raffles Hotel assure a happy ever after ending.
We think that the Bayview Beach hotel gets top marks in every department; going back again soon for our annual visit.
Top hotel near historic site: Hotel Fort Canning , Singapore
My favourite hotel in KL is also the Hilton International. I loved the hot Jacuzzi! Paul Zaman and I very much enjoyed our time in the Jacuzzi one starry summer night. Except a man, a woman, and their two children also joined our party!
Wow…very nice hotels for super hotel bowl events…:)

Highly contemporary and exceptionally durable ROK metallic composite black sink featuring 1.5 bowl design. Metallic volcano black finish. Heat and stain resistant.
Highly contemporary and exceptionally durable ROK metallic composite black sink featuring 1.5 bowl design. Metallic volcano black finish. Heat and stain resistant.
"Product was as specified. Plumber had no issue with installing this unit in the worktop after removing older composite sink unit. Existing opening required no modifications. Only issue is with supplied wastes. System setup means that sink drain is noisier, and seems to drain twice - this may well be due to the half-bowl waste being open to atmosphere during main bowl draining - not a sufficient reason for rejection."
"Bought this as a replacement for an existing similar sink which had become discoloured. The quality is excellent and it looks as good as some sinks we saw at almost twice the price. With a new tap, it has transformed the kitchen! It was really easy to fit. A bit of cutting and carving of the unit was needed but, to be honest, that was to do with the way the unit was constructed rather than the sink. The instructions recommend not using a washing up bowl so, if you buy one of these sinks, you need a basket which isn't supplied. They aren't available in store, but I'm told you can get them on line (I haven't tried yet), or are readily available from other outlets. Also, if you're not fitting a washing machine or dishwasher drain directly to the waste, it's worth buying an elbow to replace the tee. They are only a pound or two from Wickes and give a bit of extra room under the sink. Overall this is a very good product. The quality is excellent, it has a 20 year guarantee, it looks fantastic when fitted, and at the price is very good for what you get. Finally, the member of staff who served us in the Lichfield store could not have been more helpful."

Step by Step: Fresh Almond Milk and Almond Flour!
My step by step instructions to make homemade fresh Almond Milk and Almond Flour at the same time. Click, read more, for pics and recipe.
Using blanched Almonds will give you a finer flour when finished but using regular almonds will give you tastier almond milk. So I chose to use both.
Cover with plenty of filtered water and soak raw almonds for at least 8 hrs or more.
Drain the almonds and put into blender. (For my 1 pound of almonds I blended separate 3 batches.)
Blend the almonds and add small amounts of water until you have reached an easily blendable paste. Blend the crap out of the paste, around 2-3 min or more until all the almonds are finely ground.
Now you can add as much water as you want to achieve the consistency you wish for your milk and blend another minute. You can also add yummy stuff while blending. I like maple syrup for a sweetener with a bit of vanilla. Using raw cocoa powder, maple syrup and cayenne pepper is great too. On a whim I tossed in the left over coffee that my roomie made and it turned out great. (I rarely drink coffee and there is much controversy over whether its good for you or not. Just follow what your body is telling you on these choices.)
Next line a stainer with cheesecloth and set over a pot or a bowl.
Pour in the blended mixture. Use a spoon to aid drainage.

This is a very good sign for both countries.
Now a days, every one will eager to know,understand, thought storming session for day today progress and for daily updates on religion, mutual co-operation,knowledge sharing, exchange of their views by available, current communication channels.
I think that, here will be a wonderful new set up will be emerged.
Good luck to both countries.
We should have some good understandings on many religious and on many ideas on several subjects for co-existence and for better sharing of cultural changes.
