Do you think Charlie Strong is a good choice for U of L's coach?
(WHAS11) – WHAS11 News has confirmed that Charlie Strong will be named the next head football coach at the University of Louisville.
Sources say it is a "done deal". Charlie Strong will be introduced as the Cardinals' head football coach Wednesday.
The Athletic Association Personnel Board will meet at 3:30 to approve the terms of strong's contract, with a news conference to follow as early as 4 p.m. WHAS11.com will stream that news conference live on our website.
Sources tell us the university was trying to fly Strong into town ahead of the bad weather forecasted Tuesday night and Wednesday. Strong was in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was a finalist for the assistant football coach of the year, but did not win.
In a sign of how tightly controlled this information is, WHAS11's Joe Arnold called one of the athletic association members Tuesday. That member did not know about the Wednesday meeting when asked about it.
This member says though the personnel board needs to vote to approve the contract, they have already entrusted Athletic Director Tom Jurich with that responsibility.
WHAS11 has also learned of a possible bidding war for Charlie Strong. U of L officials were made aware that the University of Florida was preparing to offer Strong a higher title in the athletic department, perhaps a vice-presidency and more money.
Strong would be leaving his position of defensive coordinator at the University of Florida where he's credited with building one of the top defenses in all of college football.
Strong makes approximately $300,000 per year at Florida but could earn better than $1 million per year at U of L once you factor in his radio and TV contracts as well as other incentives.
Previous reporting has indicated that Strong might accept less money if he believes that the job offer is the right fit and opportunity as a head coach.
Louisville fired football coach Steve Kragthorpe after finishing the year at 4-8, the school's worst season in more than a decade.
After the announcement of Kragthorpe's firing, Athletic director Tom Jurich said a national search would begin immediately. The list of candidates included Houston coach Kevin Sumlin, Charlie Strong and former Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer.
Louisville completed its season Friday with a 34-14 loss to Rutgers. Kragthorpe went 15-21 in three seasons after replacing Bobby Petrino in January 2007. He had two years remaining on a contract that paid him about $1.1 annually.
Louisville failed to make a bowl game in any of Kragthorpe's three years. The Cardinals went 5-16 in the Big East during his stay while fan support eroded.
Do you think Charlie Strong a good fit for Louisville? Tell us what you think and vote in our poll to the right.

Can Teens Be Trusted Online?
While technological advancements have their benefits, I'm beginning to wonder if it's doing my kids more harm than good.
Bruce Sallan: Sexting, texting, e-mail, Twitter, MySpace, Netflix, Facebook, formspring (not a mattress company), "smart" phones, iPads, iPods, laptops, etc. That's the world our kids live in. And it's moving faster every day!
For me, it was a library card and a book, on roller skates, which my friends and I would use to go down the hill where we lived. Oh, we also played a made-up game we called "Mongoose," in which we hit a ping-pong ball back and forth with two books, the object being to do it as long as possible. We had a phone, but its use was limited. TV was only on weekends, and there were just three networks and not much else.
That just ain't the world no more! With the recent spate of texting-related violent incidents, I'm beginning to question what boundaries we parents should consider for our kids, especially our teens, with these social-media devices. My 16-year-old got into a mess of peer trouble with an impolitic Facebook post. It was stupid, but not that big a deal. At my urging, he even publicly apologized (and in a well-written, not too self-deprecating fashion -- I was impressed).
Yet the "controversy" continued and almost threatened his truly terrific relationship with his girlfriend of seven months (a lifetime for sophomores in high school), as every one of their friends got involved and it escalated to silly levels. He's a big boy, confident, and there's been nothing more to it for now, but the whole incident, along with the more tragic stories we've been hearing recently, makes me question our parental responsibility in allowing our kids unlimited access to social media.
I trust my boys. But the older one is 16 -- can any 16-year-old really be trusted? Even my 13-year-old is attached to his cell phone. Giving them cell phones makes my life easier, but is that reason enough? I'm beginning to question all of this and wonder if we should pull back. But heck, what do I know? I'm just a guy.

While the hype for the episode is not as strong as the company would like, Dixie Carter continues to promote the event as a new beginning for TNA. There are surprises being planned, including the possible arrival of Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards.
Rumors are spreading that Angelina Love could be making a surprise return at the Genesis edition of Impact Wrestling tonight, as the former TNA knockout was spotted on a plane with Samoa Joe, who is heading to Huntsville to perform at the show.
Another interesting name that is being thrown around as a candidate to join Jeff Jarrett in his new wrestling promotion is Alex Shelley, who has been making a name for himself in New Japan over the last year. The two worked together in TNA, and Shelley might be enticed to return to work in the USA.
Alex Shelley revealed how close he is to AJ Styles, whom he calls an older brother, by revealing that the Phenomenal One helped him out tremendously with his career.
Pictures surfaced online of TNA stars Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin smoking pot at a party.

Waffles from Mixes
Homemade waffles are a delicious, satisfying way to start the school day. They can be simple to make, too, using store-bought cake or muffin mix.
Corn, bran and blueberry muffin mixes are not as sweet as cake mixes. Waffles made from muffin mixes will be a cross between coffee cake and the cap of a muffin--the crusty lid that's so desirable, cookware stores now sell shallow muffin tins for tops-only muffins.
To turn the muffin mix into a waffle mix, follow the package directions but add an extra 1/3 to 1/2 cup of milk or water. The batter should flow slowly, like a thick pancake batter.
For a 16-ounce box of muffin mix, add an extra 1/2 cup of liquid; for a 12- to 14-ounce box, add an extra 1/3 cup; and for a 20-ounce box, add just under 3/4 cup.
You may have to add more liquid if there are nuts, blueberries or diced apples in the mix. Add an egg and oil if the package instructions give you theOne thing before you start: Are you sure you remember how to use your waffle iron?
Whether you are new to the appliance or are dusting off one that's been in the back of the cabinet for years, here are some reminders:
• New waffle makers should be wiped down with a damp cloth. A sealant on the grids will smoke the first time the new machine is used, so discard the first few waffles you make on it.
• If you already own a machine but haven't used it for a while, moisten three layers of paper towels, close them inside the heated waffle iron and remove them as soon as the steam stops.
• Always apply a light coat of nonstick vegetable spray to the grids before applying the batter.
• I use only a 1/4-cup measure of batter when making a waffle because it spreads once the lid is closed. You'll have to experiment with the amount of batter you use and how runny you make it.
• A waffle is done when the steam has stopped escaping from the sides of the machine. Use a fork to lift a corner. If the bottom is not yet crisp and golden brown, close the cover.
• Remember that waffles made with fats such as butter, oil and eggs will be crisper and will brown more than waffles without these ingredients.
• Waffles containing chocolate or cocoa also tend to burn faster, so take care not to overcook them.
• When the waffle is done, slide a metal spatula under the waffle and remove it from the appliance.
• If you plan to eat them right away, preheat the oven to 225 degrees and place waffles in an ovenproof serving dish on the center rack until you are ready to eat them.option for waffles that are crisp, golden and easy to remove from the iron.

Causes for a Tie Rod Breaking
Posted - 10/26/2011
Tie rods are steering components that connect the rack and pinion mechanism to the steering knuckles. Because of their location, these components tend to see the most abuse in ordinary driving. Metal fatigue from ordinary wear and tear and rust formation can cause a tie rod to break. Spent tire rubber from other vehicles, rocks, and other debris can strike the tie rod and cause it to break. If you suspect you have a broken tie rod, do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Instead, have a professional towing service tow the vehicle to the nearest repair shop for service.

Reduce, Reuse, Rhombus
An innovative downtown recycling project will soon be implemented on a trial-basis in downtown Grand Forks.
Aaron Hendricks, co-owner and operator of Rhombus Guys Pizza in downtown Grand Forks, alongside Leah Rae Amundson, Public Works Service Coordinator for the City of Grand Forks Public Works Department, and the city contractor, Waste Management, Inc., have joined forces to organize a public recycling project that is rumored to kick-off early this fall.
The downtown recycling project is one that has been in talks for quite sometime, having been a prominent focus area of the Greater Grand Forks Environmental Resource Committee's Green Initiative- a comprehensive effort put together by the mayor to make Downtown environmentally sustainable, competitive and attractive. It operates on the evaluation of environmental issues based on criteria involving increased efficiency; cutting costs/saving money; and cleaning the environment.
The project began as a meeting organized through the efforts of Hendricks, in conjunction with LeahRae Amundson.
Hendricks, who requested each business on the 300 block of Kittson to participate in an organized recycling effort, received interested responses from each of the businesses he spoke with.
"Initially I decided to look into recycling as an option for my business because I was intrigued by the scientific aspects of global climate change. As I started to notice more and more reports, I read more and more, and watched more and more about global climate change on television. I learned that as each new report came along and as more and more data was being collected, the prognosis became worse and I wanted to start doing my part to help.
Rhombus Guys Pizza looks like just that, a pizza joint located at 312 Kittson Avenue, looming in the dark shadows of the Plain Brown Wrapper in downtown Grand Forks.
Hendricks, however, attests that Rhombus encompasses an entire green lifestyle.
"We have come to a point in time when we need, to take measures to ensure that the human race can live on happily and healthily in posterity. Recycling is a virtually effortless way that each of us can be doing our part to ensure the future for others."
The City of Grand Forks is currently receiving quotations for a specialized lid design for a cardboard recycling receptacle, which will be placed in a central location on the 300 block of Kittson Avenue—the block on which Rhombus is located.
The lid design will encourage users to break down their cardboard boxes, while also helping to prevent illegal dumping. The lid of the receptacle will open automatically only as it's being collected by the front-load style truck, preventing the use of the receptacle for anything other than recyclable cardboard.
"There are certain challenges associated with pioneering a recycling program downtown, the largest of them regarding area. Because the downtown area is so compact, finding a place for people to recycle and do it effectively poses a bit of a challenge. We are hoping to lock down the recycling effort downtown and use it as a model for moving forward," said Todd Feland, Public Works Director for the City of Grand Forks.
To help the effort along, the City of Grand Forks Sanitation Department will co-locate a standard refuse container for putrescible (food, restroom, household) waste.
Following placement and evaluation of cardboard-only recycling on the 300 Block of Kittson, the City will explore additional recycling opportunities, including the feasibility of single-stream style recycling options—plastics, aluminum, and glass recycling, as well as opportunities for expansion of recycling receptacles to other downtown areas.
"I think there is a common misconception that only people that take a particular interest in the environment should or can be involved in a project or an effort such as the recycling initiative, but really all people should be concerned about the environment—recycling encompasses all people, from those who may take an interest because of the actual environmental reason, to those who may choose to be involved for economical reasons," said Hendricks.
"The great thing about this project is that it is driven by grassroots, and hopefully the individuals that expressed interest in recycling options downtown, will help police it. Having people develop the idea and want to see it implemented is a plus over having to force something onto people who don't want it," added Feland, the Public Works Director.
Single stream recycling and customized containers will help ensure the sustainability of the pilot program in the downtown trial area. The project will be monitored over the coming months, and modifications and improvements will be made as necessary.

Food Network Star Gives Up Fame to Rescue Her Family
Amy Finley is the author of "How to Eat a Small Country: A Family's Pursuit of Happiness One Meal at a Time," a memoir about the time her family spent living in France in 2008 -- a retreat they took on the heels of a marital breakdown. In 2007, Amy won the third season of "The Next Food Network Star" and was starring in her own show, "The Gourmet Next Door," on Food Network, but when her marriage crumbled, she walked away from it all to rescue her family.
momlogic: There is debate about women having it all and doing it well. Do you believe you can be a good mom (and wife) and have a career you love?
Amy: Hmm. In the time I've been trying to write an answer to this question, I've said about seven times, "Please, you guys! Can I just have five minutes? Five minutes! Then you can have your mama back..." (spring break started today). And finally, I've shooed the kids out of my bedroom (which doubles as my office), them looking backward over their shoulders at me in complete disgust as they walked out the door to go forage for their own breakfast. Can you have it all? I would say that, empirically, I do have it all: I write, I have a good marriage, generally speaking I have very happy kids. (I take their ability to be furious with me as proof of the security they feel in our relationship. Also, they're old enough to pour their own bowls of cereal.)
But at any given moment, I will tell you that I usually feel like a mild to complete failure on at least one front of my life, depending on what's currently getting short shrift so that other things can be accomplished -- deadlines being ignored so I can make a romantic dinner, kids blowing raspberries at me as I close the door behind them to turn my attention to an article I'm supposed to be writing, husband pussyfooting around me when he knows I'm at my most stressed out and likely to be irritable. I'm trying to take the long view of success now. If I'm juggling, then somebody... something... always has to be the ball that's coming down so that the others can go up. I try not to beat myself up too much about that. For me, the trick is to never outright drop one.
momlogic: But previously, you did drop one -- your career, first in cooking professionally, then in television -- to focus on your family. What's changed?
Amy: The juggling act only works if all three aspects are individually strong. Before, I was like that juggler who's spinning two ordinary balls and a razor-edged cleaver: you see that she's really, really careful about handling that cleaver. My marriage was like that for a long time: scary, because if I mishandled it, I was jeopardizing the kids. (My parents had an awful divorce: I swore I'd never put my children through such a sad ordeal.) Scary, because there was too much built up resentment, guilt, and blame, and very little open communication. (I felt lonely and isolated staying home, but I didn't trust that Greg would hear me when I said it. So I didn't. That didn't work out so well.) Scary, because the marriage we ended up with was so far from the one I'd expected we'd create together! I didn't know, or much like, the Amy and the Greg that we'd become before we left for France. I was a martyr. He was a control freak.
momlogic: Why didn't Greg want you to work?
Amy: I think you come at parenting as best you can, and informed by the way you yourself were parented. Greg's mother, who's French, gave up her career when his family moved from France to the United States for his father's medical practice, when Greg was in elementary school. Before that, in Paris, he was largely raised by his French grandmother. I never believed that Greg thought a woman should stay home, but without access to a stay-at-home grandmother, he did earnestly believe that a parent should. For him -- and he's a computer guy -- it was a logical equation: he made more money, therefore he should work. If he worked, then I should stay home. In part, it's because the argument was so impersonal that I had such a difficult time arguing against it -- it made sense. But also, it's because it was so impersonal that I had such a difficult time accepting it: I, me, how I felt, didn't seem to factor into it. I felt like I disappeared. You can't do a disappearing act inside your marriage. But disappearing also became a convenient excuse for me: if I disappeared, then that meant I could say that all of my disappointments were Greg's fault. It absolved me of any responsibility. See, a martyr. Ugh.
momLogic: But you're working now. What's different?
Amy: Thanks to our mutual dedication to making it so, our marriage is different. I speak up. He listens. He speaks up. I listen. No one gets their way 100% of the time. I don't disappear, even when it would be nice to do so. And of course, the kids are older now, too. They're 5 and 8. When you have very small children, I think it's hard to remember that their immediate limitations and needs won't define your life forever. I remember when I bought my first diaper bag, I really sort of felt like I had to pick the perfect one, because I was going to be carrying that diaper bag around with me for the rest of my life! And then, of course, you don't. The diapers eventually are in your purse, and then it's just some extra wipes, and then eventually all you have in there are two plastic toys, some mismatched socks, a spare hair band, and hand sanitizer.
momlogic: Indiana and Scarlett were ages 2 and 5 when you were living in France. What was the best part of traveling with them?
Amy: Kids have a remarkable ability to accept change without asking questions. Every hotel room we stayed in, within five minutes, that hotel room was home. They both loved to unpack, to colonize the room with their toys and blankets, kick their shoes off, spread their things around, give the beds a good test run to see which was the springiest. Peeking in and beholding the mess you would have sworn we'd lived in those rooms for days, not minutes. It made me realize how central Greg and I were to their comfortable sense of belonging in the world. Wherever we were was home. That continually reaffirmed my commitment to making our family as strong as possible for them.
momlogic: Do you have any tips for traveling with young children?
Amy: Don't be married to an agenda. For every road trip we took around France, I would create a chart. In the beginning, the chart had waking times, driving times, destinations, where we were staying, where and what I wanted us to eat (since we were seeking out local specialties and regional dishes), and daily notes about what we should do in each city. By the end, it had the addresses of the hotels and by what time we had to show up if we wanted a roof over our heads that night.
momlogic: Part of Greg's objection to your television career was that he is an extremely private person. How is he handling the attention given to you and the family because of the memoir?
Amy: We discussed this at length before I started writing the book. Surprisingly, Greg doesn't feel as exposed by the written word as he did by television. There's something about your moving, speaking likeness on a television screen that feels vulnerable. Like it's really you. On the page, even in a memoir, you're a character. You know it's a version of you. Plus, I had the ability to edit, to reveal what I chose in the way that I chose, but also to keep private what I felt should remain personal. And so for all that's in the book, there are details that remain just between us.
momlogic: After people read the memoir, what is the message you hope they walk away with?
Amy: We can't afford to become passive in our lives, but it is tempting to let circumstances overwhelm us. Building and sustaining a happy marriage and family is as daunting a task as eating a whole, giant country, so the trick is to make it smaller. Break it down into manageable pieces, don't try to succeed at everything at once. This takes two things: courage -- because it's scary when you see one of the balls coming down: what if it never goes back up again? -- and gratitude -- to focus our attention every minute on the many rich blessings in our life to begin with, come what may.
Win a copy of Amy's new memoir "How to Eat a Small Country: A Family's Pursuit of Happiness One Meal at a Time"!
Never heard of her or her show
Sounds like it will be an interesting read…..even though I have never heard of her show either!

By Mark Lamport-Stokes
(Reuters) - The royal and ancient game of golf, renowned for its etiquette and self-imposed penalties, has undergone many changes to the rules over its 600-year history but few issues have triggered as much debate as the proposal to outlaw the anchoring of putters.
In a genteel sport where an inadvertent cough on a downswing can create controversy, the announcement by golf's rule-makers on Tuesday that anchoring would be banned from 2016 has sparked fiery, impassioned division.
Bottom line, the awkward looking practice of anchoring 'belly' or 'broomstick' putters to the body should never have been permitted by the Royal and Ancient (R&A) and the United States Golf Association (USGA), and a ban is long overdue.
However, the fact that it has taken more than 40 years to reach this decision is unfortunate. Generations have benefited from anchoring, and given a new lease of golfing life to many ageing players suffering from the 'yips'.
For many critics, the horse has long bolted the stable and golf's governing bodies should not now be introducing a rule which could have been implemented almost a half-century ago.
"This thing has been around way too long," twice former Masters champion Bernhard Langer told Reuters.
"If it was an advantage or illegal, then they should have made it illegal a long time ago. That's a cop-out. It doesn't make sense," added the German, who uses the technique.
American Ryder Cup player Zach Johnson, a nine-times winner on the PGA Tour, does not anchor his putter but he agreed with Langer.
"I don't see the need for it, I don't understand the rationale," he told reporters on Wednesday while preparing for his title defense at this week's Crowne Plaza Invitational in Fort Worth, Texas.
"I think in the long run it hurts the game and if it was going to be done it should have been done a long time ago. We are so far into it now that it just doesn't need to be touched."
The controversial ban was first proposed by the R&A and USGA in November, and the global golfing community was then given 90 days in which to discuss the idea.
The European Tour expressed its support for the idea but both the U.S. PGA Tour and PGA of America voiced emphatic opposition, raising the ugly specter of a possible split in the game once the dust has settled.
Neither the PGA Tour nor the PGA of America believes that anchored putting hurts golf. With no perceived advantage to the technique based on all the available evidence, it could be argued that banning the practice will damage the game's growth.
"We are disappointed with this outcome," said PGA of America President Ted Bishop, who was one of the most outspoken critics of the proposed ban, termed '14-1b', during the 90-day discussion phase.
"We do not believe 14-1b is in the best interest of recreational golfers and we are concerned about the negative impact it may have on both the enjoyment and growth of the game."
Opponents of the anchoring style have said it is not a genuine golf stroke and that hinging the putter against the body can give users an advantage to combat nervous hands, what golfers often describe as the yips.
Tiger Woods, a 14-times major champion and a brilliant exponent of the short game, has long been opposed to anchored putting.
"Anchoring should not be a part of the game," the American world number one said earlier this week. "I've always felt that in golf you should have to swing the club, control your nerves and swing all 14 clubs, not just 13."
The new rule does not ban belly or broomstick putters, only the practice of anchoring them against a player's body for the putting stroke.
Consequently, players such as American Matt Kuchar, who uses a mid-length putter hinged against his left arm and not against his chest, stomach or chin, would be permitted to continue with that technique from January 1, 2016 onwards.
Four of the last six major champions have employed the anchoring method for putting but golf's governing bodies said they were prompted to change the rule mainly because of the increasing number of youngsters swiftly adopting the style.
"The trend over the last two decades is toward remarkably increased use of anchoring, a trend that's particularly worrisome given that beginners and juniors are now being taught anchored strokes," said USGA President Glen Nager.
"The bottom line is that anchoring has generated serious division within the game and among players about whether those who anchor play the same game and face the same challenges."
Nager refuted the argument that the ban on anchored putters was being introduced far too late, saying: "We respectfully disagree.
"The notion that a rules change must be made soon after an issue is identified or else be considered forever foreclosed, regardless of negative effects on the game, is contrary to the history and the needs of the game.
"Many rules revisions have occurred only long after an issue was first identified, such as the changes related to croquet-style putting, the 14-club maximum and the stymie.
"The passage of time cannot bar us from addressing these issues if the game is to thrive, for it often takes time to refine the issues, assess potential solutions and build a consensus needed for change."
While golf's rule-makers have the game's best interests at heart, the issue of anchored putting probably comes way down the list when it comes to the biggest problems facing modern golf.
A proposal to eradicate slow play, both at professional and amateur level, would undoubtedly find universal support.

Python Anghelo, the man behind the artwork on a seemingly endless line of pinball and video arcade game classics has died. He passed on Wednesday, April 9 after a three year battle with cancer. He was 61.
Anghelo was born in Translvania, Romania and later moved to the United States in his late teens. The artist worked for Disney until making the jump to Williams Electronics in 1979, where he worked for 15 years.
His list of credits include some of the most popular pinball titles ever released by the former arcade powerhouse, including pinball machine classics such as Pin*Bot, Comet, Cyclone, High Speed, Bad Cats and Taxi as well as video game titles such as Joust, Sinistar and Bubbles.
"Every so often the world produces a undisputed genius like Einstein. In pinball and video game art and design that was Python Anghelo," said arcade champ Lonnie McDonald, a friend of Anghelo. "The world is sadder without him but his legacy of Art and design will live on."
More of Anghelo's friends remembered the man as the news made it's way around the pinball world.
"Python often referred to himself as a 'Crazy Cat' because he felt that there were two types of people, Crazy Cats and Copy Cats," remembered PInball Inc's Al Warner. "The Crazy Cats are the ones that think outside the box and create the wonderful things in the world. Python was the craziest of them all and the world will never be the same."

Roll Another Joint Lyrics
Let me run with you tonight,
I'll take you on a moonlight ride,
There's someone I used to see,
But she don't give a damn for me.
So lets get to the point,
Lets roll, another joint,
And turn the radio loud,
Im to alone to be proud,
You dont know how it feels,
no you don't know how it feels,
to be me--
People come, people go,
Some grow young,
Some grow cold,
I woke up, in between,
Memory, and a dream.
My old man, was born to rock,
And he's still trying to beat the clock,
Think of me what you will,
I've got a little, space to fill,
You don't know how it feels,
You don't know how it feels,
No you don't know how it feels,
To be me--.
*harmonica ending*

Two tragedies have kept me from the Political Blog the last couple of days, the shocking death of Holiday World co-owner Will Koch on Sunday, and the funeral of Louisville Metro Councilman George Unseld on Tuesday.
The contrasts between the two men are obvious; Unseld was 66 years old, from Louisville's working class Newburg neighborhood, black and had to overcome racial discrimination first in his athletic career, then while working within the system to combat it throughout his professional life. Koch was 48 years old, born and raised in the bucolic and rural Santa Claus, Indiana, white, and partially inherited the family business.
Unseld and Koch shared some important commonalities, however. Each had a tremendous connection and commitment to his respective community. The unassuming, humble nature of both men is a reminder for the rest of us not to let our ego or sense of self-importance surpass our duties to our families and fellow man.
Though I had met both men, I did not know either very well, only through their careers and news accounts. Being assigned to report on both of their deaths, though saddening, was truly a privilege.

First Trax :: Daily News
More Weekends to Come
Here we are, smack dab in the middle of March and the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic ski season still has LOTS of life left. We've heard from three resorts this week and all communications have been about extending the season. Ober, who we shared yesterday is having their longest season in their history, is pushing for another week. Wintergreen decided to cancel their season ending spring events due to another snow storm in the forecast, and Cataloochee has tipped their hat at April weekends. The bottom line is that there is plenty of snow on the ground just about anywhere you look.
Here's an update on Wintergreen's extended season.
Spring Operating Schedule:
Wintergreen is looking at a really good chance (80%) of 5-9" of snow starting Sunday night and going into Monday. Bryce and Massanutten should be cashing in as well. The West Virginia resorts of Snowshoe, Canaan Valley, and Timberline could see the snow start falling today and go straight through to Monday. No alerts from the National Weather Service yet, but we will keep an eye out for those to start popping up in the next 24 hours or so.
Down here in North Carolina, all but 3 runs are open at the High Country ski resorts. Appalachian is operating at 100%, with a 35-68" base, Beech has 12 of their 15 runs open with a 30-80" base, and Sugar is 100% open with a 28-78" base.
Our boy Kenny has put together a very cool time-lapse of Beech's season so far. He really outdid himself this time! Click on the image below to take a walk down memory lane.
Ah – good times. I'm starting to water up a little. And speaking of Beech, as soon as I get done putting this together I'm heading up. The last word from Kenny was that he is heading up to Appalachian today to take part in the Appal 350. If you're heading to App or Beech, be sure to track us down. Kenny will be throwing down his crazy moves at the park, while I'm sure I'll be throwing something down after lunch and beers at the 5,506.
Appalachian and Beech are still scheduled to close down Sunday, March 23 while Sugar is expecting to stay open a few more days. You know how Sugar loves being the first to open and the last to close.
As you head out today you'll experience temperatures reaching into the 50's and 60's at the Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee resorts with partly cloudy skies. You'll peak at about 40 in West Virginia before the snow moves in (hopefully). Up at Wisp you'll have 40's and a mix of precipitation throughout the day.
Take Care!

My frustrated night… just because a last episode of a drama
I know… I been so exaggerated about disappointing of Reply 1994 last episode. But pls let me relief my anger.
For me.. this drama was best drama of all time for me till last night… the last 2 episode is really make me.. mad.
Yeah.. I'm a chilbong team.
You are angry because the husband is Oppa, right?
I'm angry because they made Chilbong the most pathetic guy in this century.
even they give another girl for Chilbong [in very last minute]… it was toooooo late… Yeah Jung Yoomi is pretty, but it will be much better if they meet like 2 or 1 eps before the ending. Like Yoonjae bro in Rep1997
They gave a lot of beautiful story of cb-nj just for trolling us, and make chilbong suffer-and suffer more.. then gave a really disappointing ending for poor chilbong.
Yeah… you win Oppa team . but i just don't care. I like Oppa too, he is cute, he is kind. I know he will be the husband from the first place, but writernim should leave chilbong alone a lot episode a go.
They made the move-on-chilbong back from japan for dig his 'own grave'. They made chilbong try his last millennium chance that actually never exist.
and the continuity in this drama is sucks. The Groom got shrink. The base'ball'-rival-story got no meaning. The husband wallet change. Why chilbong naturally went to master bed room? there is a lot of why because they give a lot clue that still have a lot of question marks. AND WE REMEMBER IT ALL.
I already knew before..aa.. maybe this drama crew did not really pay attention for that detail. [So all of that detail can't be the clue.] BUT the FANS DO. They care about the detail, height, hair, gesture of the groom.
They should gave a light clue like in reply 1997 so we won't expect big.
Last but not least…
even this drama ending annoys me, But this drama did teach me a lot of value of life.
But still… i felt dumb following this drama for more than 2 months, slept late at nite waiting for new episode, re-watch again and again; because of the ending.
and I decide not watch the last 2 episodes [already watched the 20th with no sub but already heart break]. I won't re-watch it anymore. Till years maybe…
Thanks… for bein the 1st drama that mad my sat nite it a very bad mood.

Mainly, I just wish spoiler'd images didn't load until you clicked the button; it's really bad when you hit a bunch of huge images on a forum thread and have to wait a few seconds, and people posting on low-bandwidth hosting very quickly end up with 404'd images or blanks.
soon this thread will become like biowares forum, where no spoilers or post breaking sized images are allowed! how long unto we allow luncheons for moderators so that they might grow to truly stupendously huge sizes? how long until moderators start signing all their posts with ''end of line''?combat this bill, taleworlders, if you value your trolls and more importantly - FREEDOM!
That generally comes down to your browser, I think.
An alternative solution could be to add a "thumbnail" option for images. The resizing... thing when you add "width=150" on the forum is pretty solid since it automatically resizes the other dimension if it's unspecified and the one-click expand/collapse is simple and slick. If there was one tag ([tmb]?) that automatically resized to, say "width=150" then people might stop using spoilers altogether when there are only one or two images being posted.

Franz Kafka
"When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself changed into a monstrous cockroach in his bed."
"He woke to discover that he had undergone a metamorphosis and become Gregor Samsa."
In its various English incarnations (this one comes from Michael Hoffman), we all know the first line. But the second, a reverse of sorts, comes from Haruki Murakami's new story, Samsa in Love.
This comes atop Sarah Lyall's NYT article on resurrecting long-gone literary characters. It's a trend that results in the occasional disaster or sparkling success (Grendel, Wide Sargasso Sea, The Hours, etc.), but most often it's just a lot of fun and a good way to keep the classics in our contemporary imagination.

Ford is getting busy with some of its hybrid technology of late. They recently handed off their first Escape Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) to Southern California Edison. It's part of a partnership the visit our site generic viagra in india two are pursuing to generic viagra online drugstores bring PHEV vehicles into the mainstream.
Ford gave Southern California Edison 20 of its new plug-in hybrid Escapes, coming five months after the two announced a collaboration to try to commercialize plug-in technology in mainstream autos. The research hybrids are running off high voltage lithium-ion batteries and www.grantontrailers.com can reportedly get up to 120 miles per gallon after being driven for the first 30 miles following a full charge. Charging can be done through a typical household plug and takes about six to eight hours to complete.
Ford added that the vehicle does not run out of go juice after the battery depletes, rather kicking over to become a more standardized Ford Escape Hybrid. The auto maker and power company are testing the vehicles in "typical customer settings" and hope data gathered will provide information on things like safety and durability of this battery technology. It was noted the current cost of the levitra pharmacy in india advanced lithium-ion batteries make it prohibitive to http://www.asian-americans.com/levitra-free-pills do widespread vehicle development at this time.

But, Mits now has the PHEV Outlander. If fact, they can't keep up with demand. It is currently priced in germany @ $57-67k USD.
FORD had the game in their hands. What happened?
Still might be cheaper to buy a used Ford Escape hybrid(2009-2010) and add a plug in battery system to tramadol boys online it.
What a shame Ford. you almost had "it".

Chicago, Illinois
Liposuction is the most common cosmetic surgery procedure performed today. Liposuction involves making several small incisions approximately 1/5 – 1/3 of an inch long through which a thin metal tube or cannula attached to a vacuum is inserted. The vacuum literally removes the fat from under the skin.
ln general, liposuction works best for people who have one or more localized areas of "resistant" fat but are of normal weight for their body type. This is not a weight reduction method, nor will it eliminate dimpled skin commonly known as cellulite.
Liposuction's biggest plus is that the fat cells it takes away are gone forever. However, overeating or lack of exercise will still result in general weight gain.
Liposuction works best on the hips, knees, buttocks, and outer thighs ("saddle bags"), lower abdomen, waist and flank areas ("love handles"), breasts (gynecomastia in males) and the front and back of the upper legs. Fat collects in these regions and often cannot be eliminated through exercise and diet. Liposuction may also be performed on the face and neck as an adjunct to facelift or in some cases as a separate procedure.
Small areas can be safely treated in an outpatient center under local anesthesia. More extensive liposuction requires a general anesthetic and may be performed on an outpatient or inpatient basis. Postoperative care includes wearing a snug elastic garment that applies pressure to the treated area for one to three weeks. Many normal activities can be resumed within 10 -14 days and strenuous physical activity is allowed within three to six weeks.
In recent times, newer techniques have been developed utilizing the infusion of a large volume of fluid into the liposuction areas. This has been called the "tumescent" method. In some cases, a rapidly vibrating probe is used to liquify the fatty deposits. This approach is termed "ultrasonic" liposuction.
At the time of your consultation, Dr. Placik will determine the liposuction techniques which will best serve your needs and a thorough individual consultation will be held.

Liposuction Questions
Can you have liposuction anywhere on the body?
Pretty much anywhere there's a pooling of fatty tissue liposuction can be done. Typical locations are the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, chin, and back. The decision would of course be made by your cosmetic surgeon in collaboration with you.
How long do the results of liposuction last?
They last forever in the sense that those particular fat cells will not grow back. But their neighbors could expand if you overeat. Weight gain is a matter of enlarging the fat cells by storing more and more fat in them, rather than of growing new fat cells. The number of fat cells each of us has is mostly determined during early childhood. If you stay with a sensible diet and exercise program, your liposuction results will be permanent.
What is tumescent liposuction?
It's a method of doing liposuction where the area to be treated is first injected with a fairly large amount of saline solution. There is then a waiting period while the fluid breaks down the fat cells, emulsifying the fatty tissue. This makes it liquid and easier to remove. The saline solution contains lidocaine, an anesthetic, to limit any discomfort. Tumescent means swollen.
What is ultrasonic liposuction?
It's a way of improving on the traditional liposuction method developed in the late 1980s. Ultrasound is sound that we cannot hear because it's higher than our hearing range, just as ultraviolet is a color we can't see. Sound is a type of vibration. Ultrasonic liposuction uses a cannula that vibrates in response to ultrasound. This helps to break up the fatty tissue, making it easier to remove. It can be done along with tumescent liposuction.
Is liposuction safe?
Yes, as long as you choose a fully qualified and experienced surgeon to do it. The best cosmetic surgeons will screen their patients carefully so as not to perform a procedure on a poor candidate. One of the big issues with liposuction is how to remove the fatty tissue as easily as possible without also removing an undue amount of blood or lymph. That is why the saline solution injected at the start of the procedure contains epinephrine (adrenaline) to seal off blood vessels.
The best surgeons also use the most recent equipment. The instruments used internally in the early years of liposuction had a tendency to overheat and burn. The most recent cannulas are water-cooled and the best are made of titanium which stands up well to the continual vibration of the ultrasound.
Am I a good candidate for liposuction?
You could well be, if you are concerned by excess fat on some areas of your body. Liposuction is only done after general weight loss is finished and certain areas remain that are stubbornly holding on to fat. You would also need to:
- Be over age 18
- Be within 30% of your ideal weight
- Have good muscle tone and firm, elastic skin
- Be a non-smoker
- Have no auto-immune disease or any condition that would impair your healing ability
- Have a realistic expectation and a specific goal for your liposuction procedure
Please contact us if you would like to arrange for an initial consultation. Our offices serve the entire Chicago area.

Lone protester: Job found for Jeremy
Jeremy Steinsiek's grandfather asked if someone would find a job for him. I've done it! My Uncle Sam is hiring as we speak. Great benefits and exceptional career growth. Not to mention 30 days paid vacation a year and travel opportunities also.
Visit places like China, the Bahamas and even Hawaii all with no transportation cost to you. You also will receive an outstanding retirement package complete with medical care for the rest of your life.
Jeremy, any recruiter in town would be more than happy to sit down with you and explain your options (did I mention college money). It's your move!

Throwing Coloured Dyes on Holi
Hare Krishna,
Does anyone know what Srila Prabhupada said about the Holi festival?
Also, where is the pastime of Prahlad and Holika mentioned? I don't recall reading about in Srimad Bhagavatam. Is it actually bonafide?
Thank you.

We went on deck 12 to watch the departure and waved goodbye to whomever waved at us. The scenery of the Miami port is gorgeous and the warmth was very nice for us northern people. Then was the evacuation drill then we headed back to eat. The sea became rougher by suppertime. I had an empty stomach for quite a while so what had to happen, happened and they saw me run for bathrooms. I wasn't alone, we were almost pushing one another to enter bathroom. The sea stayed that way until the next afternoon. During the evening, we could walk 3 steps on one side then 3 more on the other side. So we paid a visit in the doctor station when we learned much about dramamine and co. With pills everything grew normal. It was even nice to sleep. My daughter went sick too mainly because of the orange flavored pill that she hated. (Next time I'll bring cherry!) The day after, it was history.
Second port: St-Thomas USVI. We decided to go on our own and took a cab for Coral World (don't remember the taxi fare but the youngest didn't pay on one way) He was very talkative and so we learned a lot about the highland. Hilly road that we had to drive on low 1 on a pickup truck to descend. They made us stop at Sapphire Beach to take pictures (which is now my favorite desktop picture. Can't wait to go back there for longer times). We visited Coral World for 3 hours. Great views of the sea bottom. We had pet a shark, touch sea cucumbers, starfish, anemone. The kids loved it. We ate at their fast food, bought real neat souvenirs at their boutique and finally cross the road for Coki Beach. There were not many people. The beach is small, great for young ones (bring shovel & pail). You could do snorkeling. Even without my son had a great experience with fishes. A nice local lady gave him a dog biscuit (my husband who doesn't speak english didn't understand at first) but you should have seen son's eyes when he realized how much fishes were sneaking a piece. We even had a visit of a pelican just a few feet from us, eating the fishes. We we're really sad to go at the end of that day. We left around 3h00pm just when the crowd started to overtake the beach.
Third and last port: Sint-Maarten/St-Martin. As french-speaking, we (especially my husband!) were delighted to speak french there and headed right away to Orient Beach. Think using US dollars as they take it as equal as Euros (bring cash because they charge you Euros on you credit card and it's much more expensive!). Orient Beach is a full nudity accepted beach. We were a bit surprised but not shocked and had to explain the kids. Naturally adaptive, they didn't even bother. I asked if they wanted to do the same and I had a prude NO from my 6yo and my youngest wanted to be topless. We settled on the long beach and swam with the kids on the shallow water. There were nice waves and my son's accidentally take a sip and "fed the fish". There was a nice little island boy who played for 3 hours with my son without never talking to him. We asked him several times his name (finally answered) and responded by shaking his head that he was speaking french and english. I thought maybe that his mom (who was selling hats on the beach) had told him not to talk to stranger. Anyway, they had fun and by 1h00pm, he disappeared as he came.
We still had some good family time especially on the water slide. (Remember not to lie down down there or you'll have your nose full of salty water. Great against sinusitis ha ha ha!) Sometimes they had to close pool and slide because of the wind and sea. Too much of a splash. The ice cream machine was our favorite snack and we used it quite often that week.
The food was good. We didn't go often to the main restaurant preferring more casual outfit especially with kids. I loved the goat cheese pizza. The buffet was nice. I missed the photo time of the midnight buffet but had a bite of it.
We thought of having the kids babysitted after 10h00pm one night but were too tired. Everybody was in bed by 10-11hpm and freshly waken up by 7 or 8. We managed to do casino while they were in childcare. I saw the magical show with my son and he was thrilled.
Everybody managed to have a real good time. A family affair for sure! There was lots of french speaking person. We even met someone from home. And by the end of the cruise, I found son crying in the bathroom because he didn't want to leave.
For departure: Don't forget to go at the departure meeting and if you are french-speaking don't miss the french one. Tricks for speeding departure are said and help quickened the process. Ask for a VIP exit tag if you leave early and again take a cab. We arrived 1/2 an hour before the buses and cleared airport process very quickly (less than 20 min!) Hard to go back in snow but we have to. Think of going back on another cruise next year. Cruising is the best and secure way to see the world with kids. Hope this will help you. Good luck to yours!

I haven't gotten the chance to do many football (or any) wallpapers this season. For those of you that care, I apologize for that. I did however have some time tonight, and I put together this Teddy Bridgewater wallpaper. Teddy is clearly a key component in the recent success of the program and he has been a great ambassador for the university. He is a class act, a fun player to watch, and my pick to build a program/franchise around. Hope you like the wallpaper. Time allowing, I'll have more football wallpapers up before I start to switch gears to basketball. Thanks for looking.

Forget Wine Charms: Use Washi Tape To Label Stemless Wine Glasses
When throwing a big party, what's the best way to keep everyone's glass straight? You could use wine charms, but those don't really help if you have stemless wine glasses. So how about this instead: use a small strip of washi tape!
Washi tape is basically very pretty masking tape, except it's thinner and often made of bamboo or hemp. You can find it in a variety of colors and patterns, which makes it just right for a party. (Labeling wine glasses with plain ol' masking tape wouldn't go over nearly as well.) Write the names of your guests on the glasses ahead of time, or leave them blank for guests to write themselves. Easy!

Perfect idea! My boyfriend and I were just wondering what to do with our stemless glasses; the closest idea we had were different coloured coasters whilst all the guests are sitting at the sofas and setting their drinks on the coffee table..
Eek... seeing people write 'ol makes me cringe. Makes me want to give a crash course in apostrophe usage. Very cute idea, though, if the tape comes off easily.
(NYC_Dana's right, of course. The general rule is to put an apostrophe where one or more letters are omitted, thus isn't for is not, rock 'n' roll for rock and roll, and ol' for old.)
This is a beautiful idea, and I wasn't aware of washi tape! How well does it stick in the face of condensation -- for cold drinks, would it need to be applied before the glasses were filled, and does it stay well on even when water starts to bead?
As much as I like this idea, I'm so tired of the "washi tape trend"... it's tape, people. It's not the best thing since sliced bread (and while we're on it, neither is "ombre", "chevron", or those "keep calm" sayings).
I can see what you mean about chevrons, KpieS, but I must be living under a rock since I didn't really know about this washi tape trend. I was just looking for a pretty way to label mason jars for storage, and now want some washi tape so badly!
I've never heard of ol' washi tape either. I don't often have parties but I am wondering now where else I may use washi tape!
I already have a washi tape addiction (I keep buying it under the excuse that I will use it for my wedding... how? Not sure yet.), and I saw this but I don't know how well it'll come off! I don't want tape marks on my pretty glasses!
Yep, call me "clueless in Chicago," because I didn't know it existed either. I DO, however, see duct tape now in designer styles all over the flipping place. Somehow I think duct tape on my stemless ware would not be in good taste.
Thanks Bibliovore and NYC_Dana. I am aware of the rule, and the misplaced apostrophe was simply a slip of the hand. I've corrected! Thanks for catching.

One final thing :(
My absolute favorite activity was LiveBinders. I could use this for myself personally or in the classroom, but also for my students and parents as well. It is a very neat tool that I knew nothing about.
I think this program is beyond satisfactory the way it is right now, I would not change a thing. Dr. Wall did an excellent job creating it and using other resources to base her information from. Everything I have learned from this experience will allow me to become a better teach. I will be able to provide more technology resources for my students and myself. Web 2.0 will constantly be changing because technology is always improving. I have found that through blogging and checking educational websites that I now follow I can keep up-to-date with the new Web 2.0 tools.
Well it has been fun everyone, I will miss blogging about my "23 things", but I am considering starting my own blog now.
Have a great rest of the summer!
Thing #23
(originally posted on Explore...Discover...Play: Learning 2.1 and used here under a Creative Commons license)
For this class I created a Power Point that introduced the ideas of Copyright and Creative Commons to my 3rd grade students in a way they could understand it. I used assignments they had created themselves as an example to explain the difference between the two.
I will greatly benefit from the Creative Commons licensing in my classroom. I will probably use someone else's work to help me teach my lesson and I do not have to worry about being arrested to do so!!
Thing #22
This is such a neat idea, something I never would have thought of. I am so baffled about how far education has progressed since I was in school. Above is the folder I created in LiveBinders for 3rd grade resources. I have the Tennessee State Standards as one of the resources, as well as an interactive website and a lesson plan. All of the items that are in my binder are something we used in this class, they were such good resources. I had to continue sharing them! The other binders I created were "Education Resources for Beginning Teachers" and "Elementary School Teachers". There were already several websites and other online things I could look through on the binder. I will be using these in my class to allow my students and teachers to look up resources we are using at school. Sometimes students do not finish all of their work at school so being able to have the website readily available at home makes it a lot easier. I could use this as an online scavenger hunt as well, but my students would have all of the resources in one central place. I would not have to worry about them wondering about the Internet. I really really like this LiveBinder stuff!

Thing #20
1. I love School House Rock
2. School House Rock videos can be educational
3. I used it to introduce my lesson in my instructional strategies class
4. Children love music and something they can watch
Though I love YouTube, I believe when you are teaching it is better to use a website known as TeacherTube. Most schools have YouTube blocked from the use of the students. My professor of instructional strategies informed me that my principal would rather see TeacherTube than YouTube on my lesson plan. YouTube can lead students to videos that are not educational. If they are on TeacherTube they cannot look up a video for Lil' Wayne or Keith Urban. LOL. Yes this website can be used in the classroom, but as I said I would definitely recommend TeacherTube over YouTube.

Thing #19
*Update: I was approved about 10 hours after I posted this, way to go Dr. Wall!*
TeacherPop is such a neat website. As someone else mentioned, it is kind of like Facebook. I decided to upload a profile picture of myself. I also uploaded a school house rock video from YouTube, you can tell I love those right? :) I plan to continue my use of TeacherPop to stay updated on current trends happening that my peers and professors are posting.
While I wait for the approval on that (let's hope that is before Friday at 8 a.m., right classmates?!) I will blog about the other sites I am currently a part of. While scrolling through the list of other social networking sites I noticed I was already a member of some of them. My husband and I have a subscription to Last.fm on our Xbox gaming console. We use it a lot when we are cleaning the house :D. Also, I am also looking on IMDB if I cannot find the name of a certain movie and actor played in or maybe just looking up more info on them. I plan to look more into the education sites because through this blog I have learned there are so many educational resources right in front of us, but we have to take advantage of them while we can.
Thing #18
My Facebook Page
Now Twitter is a whole different story. I have been VERY against Twitter because I was sick of everyone talking about it all the time, but now I really like it! I was able to follow a couple of educational blogs such as PBS. There is a link to my Twitter page below.
My Twitter Page
We all need to be aware of the social networking sites that are on the web, whether we are a teacher, parent, or even a friend. Social networking sites can be helpful and fun, but can become harmful and dangerous in a split second. As future educators we can encourage our children to use such site but warn them of the precaution they need to take. As I said I did not like Twitter at first, but I have grown to love it. The PBS site I follow usually includes external links in most of its "tweets" which provide further information on educational resources. I like Facebook because I can interact with my family, friends, and colleagues, but I do not think it is too much of a child friendly site. Though Facebook has the most useful features, I believe Twitter can be more beneficial in the classroom for students. Facebook has way too many games and add-ons that are required for their applications. As I said several Twitter accounts include outside links to other pages therefore your students will be linked to the information they need.

Finite sample comparison of alternative tests on the rank of a cointegration submatrix
AbstractThis paper compares the finite sample performance of alternative tests for rank-dficiency of a submatrix of the cointegrating matrix. The paper focuses on the (implementation of the) likelihood ratio test proposed in Paruolo (2007, Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics), and compares its finite sample performance with the ones of alternative tests proposed in Saikkonen (1999, Econometric Reviews) and Kurozumi (2005, Econometric Theory). All the tests have well-documented limit distributions; their finite sample performance is analyzed in this paper through a Monte Carlo simulation study. We use the Monte Carlo design used in Lukkonen, Ripatti and Saikkonen (1999, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics). It is found that the LR and the Kurozumi test perform remarkably better than the alternatives, with a mar- ginal advantage of the LR test. The paper also investigates the properties and the numerical performance of the alternating maximization algorithm that is employed to maximize the likelihood under the null. Alternative ways to choose its starting values are also discussed. In the simulations it is found that the algorithm requires a few iterations when the null is correctly speci?ed and a rather limited number of iteration in 90% of the other cases. The choice of starting values is found to have a signi?cant e¤ect on the number of iteration required by the algorithm.

Blue Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 revealed in leaked press render
By 0 Comments|
Looks like white and brown won't be the only colors on offer for Samsung's Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 for long. Evidently set to join those variants, @evleaks recently pushed out a purported press render of the slate clad in a deep blue. Notably free of any carrier-branding, it's unlikely that this unit is the AT&T-compatible LTE model that recently traveled through the FCC. No word on when and where this version might be available, but we'll keep you posted about any developments.

The Science of Manifestation
The following is a how-to guide with an accompanying mind map that explores the science of manifestation as it relates to the mind, body and spirit.
Psychological Law of Control
The Law of Control states that we feel good about ourselves to the degree to which we feel that we are in control of our own lives. When we are physically, mentally and emotionally controlling the changes in our lives, than this naturally leads to greater achievement, emotional satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment. Uncontrolled change on the [...]
Universal Law of Magnetic Attraction
The Universal Law of Magnetic Attraction states that we attract into our lives people, things and circumstances that correspond with our dominant patterns of emotional thinking. This Universal Law has 3 sub-laws. The first is the Law of Attraction which states that our thoughts are like magnets attracting into our life corresponding circumstances [...]
Universal Law of Belief
The Universal Law of Belief states that we Do Not Believe what we see, we rather See what we have already decided to Believe. This Universal Law is a foundational law of life to the extent that without wholeheartedly "believing" that something can become a part of your reality, than consequently it will always remain out of your reach – no matter how [...]

Todays "Quote of the Day" comes to us from NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus. Drew had this to say last night on a local Miami sports extra show when asked if there is a front runner for the Miami Dolphins starting job.
Yes there is. Let me break it down for you.
The front runner is Josh McCown. Not because he is the best, but because he is the most experienced, now, of the three, John Beck is the biggest disappointment. There was all kinds of excitement about him last year, being a high 2nd rd pick, The Dolphins front office, at that time, was excited about him, I don't think Beck has had a particularly good offseason, in terms of throwing the football, in the practices. From what I hear, he has been a disappointment. Here is one other observation. Chad Henne, he has a lot of talent, the most talented Quarterback, the players can't wait until he's ready, whether he's ready this year is up in the air. McCown's the starter, John Beck's the disappointment, so far and it's early Chad Henne is the quarterback of the future.
It can be noted that Drew is not the agent for any of Miami's QB's. It can also be noted that John Beck likely never will be.

Thank you so much everyone who sent me their best wishes for a speedy recovery. I am sorry I have not responded to you individually but that is because unfortunately I am not making a speedy recovery. I am sure Rosie would tell me that my immune system is becoming less efficient due to my advanced(!) age… Never mind … Ben persuaded me to take him down to Lannacombe beach earlier and I am sure that the fresh air and wellie boot full of sea water will have done me good!
However, I have been enjoying some gentle knitting – my little bunny now has his jumper – though I haven't made an alternative fabric top for non-knitters yet – maybe tomorrow ….
As I haven't any new work to show you today, I thought I'd give you a quick sneak preview of the work I have been doing on my Rosie & Bear quilt. I have been busy mounting the embroideries in 10″ squares from a Moda Layer Cake (this one's Flora by Lauren and Jessi Jung) using reverse applique. Then I've set them into 13.5″ blocks ready to piece into the full 12-month quilt. More to follow soon … plus photos of the remaining blocks that will (at last) complete the set.
