Small Spaces
Ironically, now that I have effectively doubled, almost tripled, my living space, I am lately obsessed with small spaces. Maybe I am yearning for the days when cleaning the entire house took 30 minutes. But more than that, I am puzzled by the constant battle against material possessions. How is it possible that purging feels so good to me… but so does a shopping spree at Target? Ah… the mysteries of life.
Luckily I have an ultra-minimalist fiance to keep me on track (hence our weekend plans for a Goodwill drop).
While I find our new home to be quite roomy at the moment, I've already had folks mention how we will quickly grow out of this space when our family expands. I take that as a challenge. I think we can be quite content here for as long as this house makes us happy. I have no doubts that many families have lived in this house, and that would be pre-attic conversion, to boot!
So with petite spaces in mind, I'm sharing some articles and blog posts that have recently inspired me to think small. Click on the photos to see the full articles.
This is a great article about how our material possessions can start to run our lives.
Did I mention that I want to paint our entire house white now?
Check out their headboard…
One of my favorite blogs is Reading My Tea Leaves… among other things, she focuses on small living tips. Check out the article about this couple in the NY Post.
Where would I keep my portable beach house? That's certainly a dilemma, but I'd figure something out…
This Old House
Brandon and I are now proud owners of a 1938 bungalow in Decatur. We find ourselves amidst a sea of strollers, recycling bins, narrow driveways and froyo shops. Yes, we are living the American dream.
True to form, we have adjusted into our new home-ownership roles. I come home with new Target accessories daily and Brandon is obsessed with the thermostat.
That first day we walked into our home, with keys in hand, I didn't feel the way I had expected. It was dark, it was empty, it was dirty. I couldn't see past the cracks in the wall, the crappy water heater, the crumbs in the cabinets and the endless supply of (obviously unused) cleaning supplies left behind.
But as the days have passed, the expletives, ouches and general tantrums are slowly being replaced with praises, high fives and moments of relaxation. I am falling in love with our little house.
I can't wait to show you the "Before" and "After" photos. Stay tuned!
Me: "The hot water ran out during my shower."
Brandon: "Well maybe you should learn to take short military-style showers."
Me: … "Negative."
My Valentine
…gives the best back rubs
…holds my hand while he drives
…eats the bruised apples so that I don't have to
…cleans the dishes every night
…is very ticklish
…thinks my scrambled eggs are the best
…brings me york peppermint patties from the grocery store
…looks handsome with a scruffy face
…has a great smile
He's a good egg. I'm so glad he agreed to be mine.

The Patriot Club is the booster organization for The University of Texas at Tyler athletics program. Membership consists of individuals, organizations and businesses that are willing to make a financial commitment to the future of UT Tyler's Patriot Athletics program.
Why is the Patriot Club necessary? The State of Texas does not provide direct support for intercollegiate athletics programs. Institutions, such as UT Tyler, must rely on student athletics fees, gate receipts, advertising revenues and private contributions to help fund athletic programs.
How are funds donated to the Patriot Club used? Funds donated to the Patriot Club are used to support such activities as recruiting, travel, promotions and student-athlete recognition awards.

Leave the current honor system the way it is, where everyone in the map gets a certain amount of honor points, then on top of that, add in a "bonus" honor system, which encourages pvp and player interaction.
For instance:
Increase the honor givin by killing enemy players. And take away the deminishing returns - this is an epic battle and deaths should be a frequent occurance. You should get honor for killing your enemy in a Battle Ground, even if you have done in 4 times over. This would encourage PVP in AV while at the same time making people more involved. To help healers and support classes, you could recieve honor by being in the immediate area of the action. Yes, you could go afk in this area too I suppose, but at least the AFK people near the battle may serve as a meat sheild for those playing.
Another idea I have is for a corpse looting system where every player drops an item that can be turned in for honor points. This item would remain on the corpse for everyone in the area to loot it. But, you have to manually loot it. This way everyone can get extra honor points by looting fallen enemies so that both healers and DPS can get honor for killing the enemy, but people who are AFK will not.
Just some thoughts. If you notice, most of my ideas focus around having players kill each other..,. this requires interaction and insures that you at least have to be near a pvp battle to recieve the bonus honor.

The Panic RoomPosted: May 3, 2013 Filed under: NFL, Peter King, Weekly Issue | Tags: Alec Ogletree, Draft, Les Snead, NFL draft, Peter King, Rams, Saint Louis Rams, Tevon Austin Comments Off
The Panic Room
While NFC West powerhouse teams San Francisco Forty Niners and Seattle Seahawks have made bold moves to boost their roster for the upcoming season, the Saint Louis Rams find themselves relying heavily on young raw talent, which made Day 1 of the 2013 NFL Draft crucial for the rising team. In a Sports Illustrated exclusive in this week's magazine, Senior Writer Peter King gives a behind the scenes look at how the Rams managed the franchises most important day of the year with a little gambling and a lucky golden coin.
Included in this draft day timeline is:
- The Rams desperate deal making that ensured their acquisition of the No. 8 pick in the draft and the subsequent drafting of West Virginia receiver-returner Tevon Austin, "a durable lightning bug and the most dangerous player on the board," (PAGE 50) writes King.
- The dramatic decision making process that led to the Rams trading their No. 22 overall pick in the first round for the No. 30 pick, a move that potentially put securing their favorite prospect, Alec Ogletree, in jeopardy. Ogletree's agent Pat Dye warned, "you better not get cute or you'll lose him." (PAGE 51) The Rams got him at No. 30 still.
- A breakdown of the sweat-educing stressful environment that was the climax of a nine month scouting process, an environment that "felt like Wall Street," (PAGE 54) said Les Snead, the Rams General Manager.
Is this Your Franchise QB?Posted: April 25, 2013 Filed under: NFL, Weekly Issue | Tags: 2013 NFL Draft, Flash Gordon, MOvie QB's, NFL draft, Point Break, School Ties, Sports Film, The Best of Times, The Longest Yard Comments Off
Disappointed with the quality of quarterbacks in the 2013 NFL Draft? Don't think there's enough star power amongst this year's crop? In this week's SI and on SI.com, Paul Pabst, producer of the Dan Patrick Show, ranks the Hollywood QB's you wish could be seen at Radio City Music Hall this Thursday night. Here are the top five:
- Reno Hightower, Kurt Russel in The Best of Times
- Flash Gordon, Sam J. Jones in Flash Gordon
- Paul Crewe, Burt Reynolds in The Longest Yard (1974)
- David Greene, Brendan Frasser in School Ties
- Johnny Utah, Keanu Reeves in Point Break
See Pabst's entire list of elite Hollywood QB's here. Also, watch Pabst and Andrew Perloff, from SI and the DP Show, debate the most elite quarterbacks in the world of film here. Lastly, JJ Watt of the Houston Texans describes the cinematic QB he would most like to sack here.
The New Silver and BlackPosted: April 18, 2013 Filed under: Jim Trotter, NFL, Weekly Issue | Tags: Jim Trotter, nfl, NFL draft, oakland raiders Comments Off
For nearly five decades, the Oakland Raiders, who hold the No. 3 selection in next week's draft, were one of the top organizations in the NFL under the leadership of Al Davis, the iconic owner who died at age 82 in October 2011. From 1963 until 2002, the Raiders won three Super Bowls and had a .625 winning percentage. Since 2002 however, the Raiders have lost at least 11 games in an NFL-record seven straight seasons. In this week's Sports Illustrated, senior writer Jim Trotter examines how the team's new brain trust is transforming the culture of a franchise that lost its way during Davis's final decade.
Trotter spent a year behind the scenes with Raiders owner Mark Davis, who took over after his father Al's death, and Reggie McKenzie, who was hired by the new owner as G.M. prior to the 2012 season. Trotter writes that since Al Davis' death in 2011, "the Raiders have undergone a three part healing process: the hiring of McKenzie; the firing of Davis's last major hire, promising head coach Hue Jackson; and the commitment of new owner Mark Davis to break with his father's ways and seek a long-term fix rather than a short-term solution." (PAGE 63)
McKenzie, who was a Raiders linebacker in the mid '80's and spent 12 years in the Green Bay Packers front office, most recently as the director of football operations, faced quite a challenge—he inherited a losing team that was a league-high $31 million over the salary cap. Trotter found that much of the G.M.'s energy the past 15 months has been dedicated to upgrading the scouting and personnel departments, which were not up to speed with the modern NFL. He even had to hire a full-time groundskeeper for the team's training facility, since one was never previously employed. McKenzie says:
"My mind-set coming in was, I'm gonna have to be highly organized and firm in my beliefs. Because when you've got a building that's used to certain way for so long—I knew change wouldn't be easy. I had to have a plan and a way to implement my plan." (PAGE 63)
Before last season, McKenzie fired Jackson and hired 39 year-old Dennis Allen, the former Broncos defensive coordinator, as head coach. McKenzie also released many high priced veterans. The 2012 Raiders suffered through another losing season, but the plan is a patient rebuild. Trotter notes: "As of last weekend 38 of the 53 players on the pre-McKenzie roster had been released, traded or allowed to leave as free agents." (PAGE 68)
This offseason, McKenzie released veterans Richard Seymour, Tommy Kelly, Rolando McClain, Michael Huff and Darrius Heyward-Bey. He also traded quarterback Carson Palmer to Arizona and sent two middle-round picks to Seattle for QB Matt Flynn. The plan is to be at least $50 million under the cap by 2014 and Mark Davis tells Trotter that he will be patient. The owner says:
"Reggie's my guy. He did inherit a mess, and he's still cleaning. I can be patient with him. I'm giving him the whole shot." (PAGE 68)
In Geno VeritasPosted: April 10, 2013 Filed under: Austin Murphy, NFL, Weekly Issue | Tags: Geno Smith, Mountaineers, NFL Combine, NFL draft, Scouting Report, West Virginia Comments Off
As the 2013 NFL draft draws closer, it is no surprise that the quarterback class that follows the awe-striking 2012 draft is lacking in its talent and hype. In this week's issue, SI senior writer Austin Murphy takes a deeper look at draft prospect and former West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith and his road to Radio City Music Hall on April 25th.
Smith, who in three seasons as the Mountaineer's starter threw for 11,662 yards and 98 touchdowns, is among the motley crew of underwhelming quarterbacks heading into this year's draft. Amongst Smith's greatest challenges going into the draft is disproving the relatively brutal scouting report he received in Pro Football Weekly from Nolan Nawrocki last week. The report stated that Smith had "average field vision and coverage recognition" and forced throws. The report chided him for taking "unnecessary sacks" and not feeling pressure well. "Not an elusive scrambler. Shaky lowerbody mechanics" (PAGE 52), claims that are backed up by the Mountaineers less than stellar finish of the 2012 season.
Despite the vicious knocks to Smith's playing style, the most controversial of assertions was that of Smith's commitment and character. Nawrocki believes that Smith will be unable to command respect from his teammates and is not a student of the game. There are those who completely refute such claims, however.
"Geno's the hardest practicing QB & most gifted student of the game I've coached,"(PAGE 53) tweeted Mountaineers head coach Dana Holgorson after the report was released.
"I remember leaving the offices at 1 a.m. after the Baylor game"—Smith had completed 45 of 51 passes for 656 yards and eight touchdowns with no interceptions in a 70–63 win—"and Geno was still there, sitting in a dark room, watching video," recalls Alex Hammond, West Virginia's director of football operations. (PAGE 53)
But while everybody else is debating Smith's future, he is making no excuses and focusing only on improvement.
"It's not like I'm sitting here blind," says Smith. "I know the areas I need to improve, and I know how to improve them." (PAGE 53)
The Yoda of The Yard MarkerPosted: February 5, 2013 Filed under: Andy Staples, College Football, NFL, Weekly Issue | Tags: George Whitfield, NFL draft, nfl preview, rookie nfl quarterbacks Comments Off
After independently training two consecutive No. 1 NFL draft picks, assisting Johnny Manziel in procuring the starting quarterback position at Texas A&M and working with Ben Roethlisberger through his four-game suspension in 2010, George Whitfield is gaining a reputation as a "quarterback whisperer" in the football world. In this week's SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, senior writer Andy Staples explores how this college hopping, former arena football playing quarterback coach has grown into the Jedi master to quarterback elite. Whitfield stresses that preparing QB's for real game situations is the key to success on any level.
"There's a notion with regard to training or practice that it's always pristine. The conditions are always perfect," says Whitfield. "O-lines aren't some Great Wall of China at any level. Set [QBs} up for what they're really going to walk into. You can't set them up for the streets of New York when they're really going to Guatemala." (PAGE 53)
Whitfield's small time operation in San Diego, California attracts big names from all over, and the list of aspiring students continues to grow. His teachings can cater to any QBs needs and the success rate of his trainees knows no bounds. With 2013 draft hopefuls such as Landry Jones and Johnny McEntee under Whitfield's wing, who will be his next top student? Whatever a quarterback needs to survive in today's game, Pep Hamilton (the newly appointed Colts' offensive coordinator) says, Whitfield can find a way to teach it. "He's a Jedi," (PAGE 55).
The Next Zig ThingPosted: November 28, 2012 Filed under: College Football | Tags: BYU, college football, Ghana, NFL draft Comments Off
Is a Ghanaian soccer player who dreamed of NBA glory about to conquer the NFL draft?
He grew up playing soccer in his home country of Ghana and successfully walked on to the BYU track team, but Ezekiel (Ziggy) Ansah's future in professional sports could lie in being a first-round pick in the next NFL draft, writes Jeff Benedict. He was recruited to BYU by a sophomore serving his Mormon mission in Ghana in 2007, who played pickup basketball with Ansah and thought the Ghanaian's 6′ 6″ 250-pound frame would lend itself to football. Ansah walked on to the Cougars' team in 2010, and over the final nine games of the 2012 season, was third on his team in tackles (48), second in sacks (4.5) and first in tackles for loss (13).
While he's not a star in the sport he grew up dreaming about – basketball – Ansah is drawing serious interests from NFL scouts, who are flocking to BYU to check him out. Says one scout: "The combination of his height, weight and speed is probably unmatched. Plus, he's so strong. He's got that Jason Pierre-Paul type of physical upside" (page 46).

Coca-Cola: Sweet Returns in the Making Thanks to Emerging Markets
Adrian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
As I drink a cold Coke on a summer night, I can't help thinking that Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is one of the best examples of a stock that you should see as a long-term investment, rather than a trading vehicle, simply because there is no risk the company will disappear all of the sudden. You have been drinking Coca-Cola for a while, so did your parents, and most likely so will your grandchildren. Investing in such a strong and well-established brand brings safety and guaranteed value to your portfolio. However, usually these kind of investments do not provide interesting returns. They are safe and that's about it. But how about Coke? Can it also bring sweet returns to the table?
A simple business
There's an old rule in the traditional value investment world that says the simpler the business, the better the investment. And Coca-Cola is that kind of business.The company focused only on beverages, and managed to master everything there is to be known about this business. While doing so, it created a huge distribution network of more than 200 countries, one of the most popular brands in the world, and a safe business regardless of the economic environment. As a result, the stock price has jumped an amazing 5,177% since 1978!
The downside to keeping the business simple is that sometimes you miss some great investment ideas. At times, Coca-Cola was way too passive. Ironically, PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP), Coca-Cola's historical rival, recently surpassed Coca-Cola in sales, but not because PepsiCo can sell more cans of soda. Through its Frito-Lay division, PepsiCo has more than 40% of the world's salty snack market. Sure, by entering a new market in 1965, PepsiCo did take a chance, but sometimes taking a chance is the best thing to do.
Amazing dividend: Coca-Cola has more than doubled its dividend since 2002!
If you are looking for a dividend stock, Coca-Cola is your choice. About 10 years ago the dividend was only 40 cents per share (approximately 1.3% yield in 2002). That doesn't sound impressive. However, Coca-Cola kept growing its dividend. The latest quarter dividend was 28 cents. If we assume that the dividend remains the same (which is unrealistic, as Coke is always increasing its dividend), you have $1.12 in annual dividend per share, or 2.8% yield (as the current stock price is around $40 per share). And this dividend is totally safe, as in 2012, Coca-Cola's free cash flow covered dividends paid 1.71 times over.
Emerging markets can bring further growth
Many may think that a company like Coca-Cola cannot grow anymore. Well, maybe there is little room left for further growth in the U.S., but Coke still has a lot to explore in international markets. It's no secret that the company intends to invest billions during the next decade in emerging economies (BRICS), where Coke consumption per capita is still low, when compared with American standards.
Just to mention an example, according to Morningstar, the annual per capita consumption of Coca-Cola products in China is just 38 servings, versus 8 servings in 1998. Sounds like an interesting growth rate. But that's just the beginning! Americans have more than 400 servings per year, and as income increases I believe emerging markets will continue heading in that direction.
Coca-Cola has many competitors, but because their brand is among the strongest in the world and because they have the biggest global distribution network, no competitor represents a real threat. PepsiCo is probably one of the few companies that can be compared with Coca-Cola in terms of scale of network distribution and sales. Both companies have a strong free cash flow, pay high dividends and have a similar dividend payout ratio (DPR): Coca-Cola with 54.8% and PepsiCo with 55% respectively. However, keep in mind that Coca-Cola is by far the established leader in the carbonated soft drink category, and has stronger presence in many key emerging markets.
Coca-Cola's weak point is probably the energy drinks category. The company has tried hard to enter this market in the past 10 years, with modest results. On the other hand, Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST), with fewer resources, became the world's second most popular energy drink manufacturer in less than five years, and still has abundant room for growth in international markets. Many have pointed out the advantages that acquiring an early star in the energy drinks segment, like Monster Beverages before its IPO, would bring to Coca-Cola's overall business. I don't think Coca-Cola would consider buying Monster Beverages at this point, but it's good to know that with $16 billion in cash, Coke is prepared to buy any early star in this segment in the future, if necessary.
A final word on momentum
The recent earnings call came out with a slight decline in income, from 61 cents a share in the same period a year ago to 59 cents a share. This decline could be cyclical, as unusually poor weather conditions in the latest quarter combined with bad macroeconomic environment might have had a negative impact. The upside is that this makes the stock even more attractive, as I expect some bearish momentum to bring the price down for some days.

The conspiracy hypothesis says that the disciples stole the body of Christ and continued to lie about his appearances to them. According to this account, the resurrection was a hoax.
This hypothesis is not commonly held in modern scholarship for several reasons:
- This hypothesis does not take into account that the disciples believed in the resurrection. It is highly unlikely that numerous disciples would have been willing to give up their lives defending a fabrication.
- It is unlikely that the idea of resurrection would have entered the minds of the disciples, as such an event was not connected to the Jewish idea of a Messiah. The scholar William Lane Craig writes, "If your favorite Messiah got himself crucified, then you either went home or else you got yourself a new Messiah. But the idea of stealing Jesus' corpse and saying that God has raised him from the dead is hardly one that would have entered the minds of the disciples."
- This hypothesis cannot account for the post-resurrection appearances of Christ.

Exactly three weeks after Katrina Smith disappeared, the family learns, not only did Katrina die, but she was murdered. Now, they're speaking out, looking for answers.
"I'm upset and angry that something serious and bad happened to my sister, so is the rest of the family," says Chad Kaltved, Katrina Smith's step-brother, who spoke on behalf of the entire Smith family.
They're still trying to figure out what happened. After weeks of endless search efforts, the Ogle County Sheriff's Department discovered a body floating in the Rock River Friday. Investigators later identified it as Katrina's.
"Katrina did nothing but give care, love, and show affection to anyone that was around her," Kaltved says. "She always went out of her way to do something for others and you know, without people knowing her and that that was the type of person she was and to see that outpour, to me that's kind of like the greater power."
Chad says finding Katrina's body gives the family a sense of peace. They know what happened to her. Now, they plan to give her a proper burial. Services are Friday and Saturday at Heartland Church. While the family stays strong through their faith in God, they still want answers.
"If the person that did this to my sister is watching this, I have a plea from the family to say they come forward and own up to what you did," Kaltved says. "We're a forgiving family and some people don't know how I can stand here and say that, but if you have any information, or you feel like you need to come forward, we'd ask that that person does so."
Chad says the family is working with investigators to figure out who killed Katrina. Family members hope to set up a Katrina Smith missing person's foundation. The goal would be to help other families in missing person cases find their family members, just as the community did for Katrina.

Fun game
Pretty fun little game. Gets very, very difficult very, very fast. Might be a little to hard if you haven't figured out a decent strategy. A bit to easy if you have. Was going to give it a 6/10, but the graphics were pretty good with minimal lagg, so 7/10.
[If you don't want to be snoozing through the last level/'s, don't read.]
The basic barricade strategy you want to have goes like this; get 2 tables and place them close together so you can either stand between them and be touching both of them at the same time to repair both of them constantly through the fight, OR overlap the corners and stand on both at once for basically the exact same reason. (This isn't really needed for the first 2 levels, so yeah do with whatever you want. Also don't place the tables underneath stairs, doorways, or ladders because the zombies will be able to walk on top of them straight to you. )
The basic weapons you want to get go like this; Starter pistol, SMG, assault rifle (I chose the AK,) minigun (this will be a necessity once the bigger zombies show up,) and after that just save up for the .50 cal Baretta (Takes a minute to get used to, but is pretty much necessary at end levels. It can dispatch large groups of zombies very quickly via its armor piercing, and very easily if using the barrier strategy I explained above. I was falling asleep on the last level doing this.) (Also, as a disclaimer; the shotgun and auto-grenade launcher are good fun, but due to their long-reload times are pretty useless later in the game. Same goes for the close range weapons. Fun, but not too useful later on.) Gl & have fun ;]

The Labour and Cooperative Councillors onBrightonand Hove City Council have welcomed the decision by the Green administration to listen to residents and back Labours campaign to "Save The Mobile Library"
Back in February, Labour and Cooperative Councillors found money in the budget to buy a brand new vehicle after the Green Party had decided to axe the service. Emotions ran high at public meetings, and protesters called on Labour to help them save this much loved service.
After nearly Ten months in which the Green administration have dithered and made further attempts to axe the service, a compromise has been found, and a final decision will be made at a meeting on the 15th of November.
CllrBrian Fitch, Labour and Cooperative Spokesperson for Culture said:
"I am pleased that my group have been able to stop the mobile library being axed. We should now see a brand new vehicle bought, and the much loved service continuing. Although the service will not stop at as many places as before, we must face the harsh fact that the Conservative led government are hammering us with cuts, and that compromises have to be made"

About Me Everyday Drinker
Comments about Green Mountain Coffee K-Cup Nantucket Blend:
This product has really decended into "off the shelf" territory - rivals the most unremarkable house brand floor sweepings. Lighter than light, this is no more than colored hot water in which the sugar and/or creme would provide the only taste sensation. This from a medium brew drinker who used to think Nantucket Blend had potential. Not after the changes Green Mountain made to the blend. Nope!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My Absolute Favorite!
By Meg P.
from Hudson, Ohio
I can be picky when it comes to my coffee. I don't want it to be too light/watered down and I don't want it so bold that it's bitter. The Nantucket Blend is my go-to! I drink it at least once each day.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
No longer the same
By Windtalker Sibes
from Sandpoint, Idaho
I am glad that I am not the only one who noticed a difference in this coffee. When I first bought my K-cup coffee maker I got a sampler package of coffees with it and the Green Mountain Breakfast Blend and Nantucket coffees were two of my favorites. Not any more. The coffee no longer tastes like it used to. It is now very weak and watered down. I actually like a light roast in the morning but this is weaker than my usual light roast breakfast blend. It's a shame you changed your blend. It was once an awesome tasting coffee. I won't purchase again.

Best Coffee So Far

Have tried several different coffees since getting our Keurig. This one is the best by far. Will now invest in the "big" box. Have not noticed any "bland, flavorless" qualities stated in other reviews. We find it quite flavorful and not at all bitter. Thanks for a great blend.

I have been a fan of Nantucket Blend K-cups since Kona was removed from the product line but no longer. The past two months the coffee has been weak and watered down. This can't be solved by using less water to brew. How terribly disappointing. I thought maybe the problem was a bad batch and temporary but it's not. Now I have two 80 count boxes to finish before I can find a new brand. What has happened? Are you trying to save money by putting less coffee in the K cup?

not the same

Nantucket blend has been my favorite for several years. But its not the same anymore. It is weak watery and has little favor. I tried to make in small cup but that didn't help. Why change a good thing? very disappointed. Now what to drink?
It's not the same!!!

This use to be an amazing, flavorful blend. Over the past couple of months every box I buy is bland, tasteless, and watered down. I've switched brands. So disappointed.
The best k-cup on the market!!!

Green Mountain Coffee...Nantucket Blend is undoubtedly the best k-cup I have ever tasted...I only wish that I could afford to drink it every time I wanted a coffee...
My favorite so far.

Researchers connect neurons to computers to decipher the enigmatic code of neuronal circuits
Machine logic is based on human logic. But although a computer processor can be dissembled and dissected in logical steps, the same is not true for the way our brains process information, says Mark Shein of Tel Aviv University's School of Electrical Engineering.
Doctoral student Shein and his supervisors, Prof. Yael Hanein of the School of Electrical Engineering and Prof. Eshel Ben-Jacob of the School of Physics and Astronomy, want to understand the brain's logic. They have developed a new kind of a lab-on-a-chip platform that may help neuroscientists understand one of the deepest mysteries of our brain –– how neuronal networks communicate and work together. The chip was recently described in an issue of the journal PLoS ONE.
Within it, Shein has applied advanced mathematical and engineering techniques to connect neurons with electronics and understand how neuronal networks communicate. Hoping to answer ultimate questions about how our neuronal circuits work, the researchers believe their tool can be also used to test new drugs. It might also advance artificial intelligence and aid scientists in rewiring artificial limbs to our brain.

Encased in this rather ornate metal pendant, is this Georgian Hand Painted Portrait of a Woman. From about 1840's.
There is a large H signed on the side of the portrait. Maybe not "Fine" Antique jewelry but it is antique. She looks better from afar, a foot away, as I don't think the artist did justice to her neck or cleavage up close, but from a foot away it looks lovely! I'm not sure who this queen or person of royalty was, but I have seen her in other portraits from that time. Can anyone out there give some insight?
The metal is thicker than tin, but I don't know what it is and I haven't tried to clean it. The back has a rather copper tint to the metal.
I love old jewelry, if nothing else to see what it has evolved into. I like this piece because it has a historical value to it with the portrait of a lady of so long ago.
The back part is made like a good frame with 8 bent pieces of metal to keep the portrait in place.
There is glass over the portrait. The pendant hangs 2 1/4" long. Pretty and in great shape. It really looks MUCH better when seeing her from a from a foot away and not magnified! Still, it amazes me that anyone could paint such small portraits.
I love the hair styles on these ladies of long ago!

A Madison neighborhood unveiled new entrance signs after the original ones were damages by Hurricane Katrina.
Stone Ridge residents raised $15,000 to replace the signs which were destroyed in 2005.
One of the signs was recently completed, but the second sign was unveiled Saturday as the neighborhood celebrates its 35th anniversary.
More than 200 families live in Stone Ridge, but even former residents were invited to the event.
A man who has lived in the neighborhood for almost three decades said the new signs are just what the neighborhood needed.
"Thirty years is the life span of a lot of subdivisions. After that, they start to decline. But Stone Ridge is doing really well and I think these signs are a good indication the subdivision is doing what it needs to do to keep its value up," said Sandy Kirkindall.
Madison Mayor Troy Trulock was also there for the ribbon cutting ceremony and reception.
He said the project shows true community pride and hopes other neighborhoods will follow the lead in making improvements.

Are You Ready?
So, this is how it ends. Not with Amy Pond flirting with herself, not with the Doctor saving every last creature in the Universe from permanent annihilation but with an assassination on the bank of a lake in Utah.
Or does it?
Well apart from the obvious "no" (an odd way to end a long running series if it's a "yes") we're about to embark on a series of interesting reveals that will either confirm the genius of Steven Moffat in creating a largely cohesive and long-running narrative throughout his two series in charge (and potentially back to 2008) or will baffle and leave the audience bemused.
Thankfully the previews are very positive, so we shouldn't have too much to worry about on that score. The Doctor is bound to survive, and finding out how he manages what appears to be a pretty sound death (Amy, Rory and River even burned his corpse if you recall The Impossible Astronaut) is going to be interesting.
Speculation has been going on for months about how the Doctor might survive all of this. For those of you prone to this sort of idle fancy, the list below features some interesting thoughts:
- There are two Doctors – one a Ganger, the other "our" Time Lord. But which is which?
- There are two Doctors – one "our" Time Lord, the other a reconfigured Tessalecta judgement machine from Let's Kill Hitler.
- The timey-wimey solution reminiscent of The Big Bang…
- It's all a dream/simulation/pocket universe?
- Or the Doctor really does die. And then something crazy happens.
It's all just speculation of course, but let us not forget the photos of Amy and her baby, the voice in the TARDIS in The Pandorica Opens, not to mention the continuing questions concerning Professor River Song… we'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter, however.
The answers are coming your way this evening, on BBC One and BBC One HD from 7.05 pm and on BBC America at 9/8c.
Once you're done and the answers have become clear, head back here for our poll!
3 Responses to Are You Ready?
In the nursery rhyme/ song, "The Doctor, brave and true turned away from violence, when he understood the killing of the Silence". The real Doctor sees that his ganger/Tesalecta is showing signs of violence, (When he devises a way to kill the Silence). The real Doctor and River realize he can't go on so they have to destroy him. River sacrifices her freedom by doing it, thus ending up in the Stormcage Containment Facility.
I have to admit, this series has been lacking a little for me with some episodes. If I'm left bemused by the end of this, there is no doubt that the Universe will implode, leaving Mr Steven Moffat stranded on an asteroid. There he shall remain for all eternity, trying to figure out the logic of how he survived a Universal implosion in the first place!
If tonight's episode is a success – the Universe will hug him tight and paaaarty!! Although, a Universal hug also leads to an implosion of sorts, so we're doomed either way!
They won't answer the question about the voice that said silence will fall-I bet that will just be left/forgotten about.

ATV Safety
With the hunting season upon us, the Kaufman County Sheriffs office would like to remind Kaufman County residents about ATV safety. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, ATV driving leads to more than 700 deaths and more than 135,000 injuries annually in America, and an estimated 30% of those involve children. Texas is among the top five states for ATV deaths, along with Pennsylvania, California, West Virginia and Kentucky. The ATV is an extremely popular form of recreation, but despite all the wonderful aspects of the ATV, it is important to remember that they can also be hazardous. The use of ATVs has increased since their introduction to the U.S. and so have the associated injuries and deaths.
The following are 10 guidelines to ensure the safe use of an ATV:
Wear protective equipment.
Helmet Just like operating a motorcycle or bike, riding an ATV requires you to use a helmet. Most serious or fatal accidents occur when the rider is not wearing a helmet. Helmets may no be the most stylish accessory, but they can literally save lives. Look for a helmet with a snug fit that fastens securely. Without the protection of a helmet, the risk of severe injury greatly increases.
Goggles or face shield - You must be able to see clearly in order to ride safely. Dirt, rocks, and branches in your eyes can impair your vision while riding and can cause blindness.
Gloves and boots the use of gloves and boots will provide the operator with a better grip and protection against cuts and scratches. Wearing gloves helps to ensure operator control of the ATV. Boots help to maintain proper foot placement on the footrest. Never ride bare footed.
Never carry a passenger Most ATVs were designed to carry only the driver. Passengers impede the operators ability to shift their weight, adjust their position, and maneuver the ATV safely. Having a passenger on an ATV may also upset the balance of the ATV and cause unsafe operation.
Follow the manufacturers safety guidelines Become familiar with the ATV before operating. Thoroughly read the owners manual. Make sure all the tires have adequate air pressure, and check all controls and cables, as well as oil and fuel levels, and the chain and drive shaft chassis to ensure they are working properly.
Never use drugs or drink alcohol while riding Operating an ATV requires the full attention of the rider. Drugs and alcohol reduce the operators ability to maintain proper control and increases the likelihood of an accident.
Take a drivers safety course hands on training should be received from a qualified instructor. Never lend your ATV to someone who has not taken a safety training course.
ATVs shall not be operated from ½ hour after sunset to ½ hour before sunrise without a lighted tail light and headlight.
Remember safety first! Have a safe hunting season.

Hi, DC!
My name's Michael Hartney. I'm as big a Superman fan as you'll ever meet. I have bought Superman comics every Wednesday since I learned to read, which was nearly 30 years ago. Superman was the subject of my blog and my one-man show. My name is tattooed on my arm in Kryptonian, for Zod's sake. Oh, and I'm super-gay.
I can't and won't support the hiring of Orson Scott Card on Adventures of Superman. There's a difference between having conservative political beliefs and being an active force of bigotry and hatred. Card is the latter. So draw away, Ethan Van Sciver, you fabulous Republican! Fine with me! Orson Scott Card, however, is in an entirely different, unjust league.
If this was a holocaust denier or a white supremacist, there would be no question. Hiring that writer would be an embarrassment to your company. Well, Card is an embarrassment to your company, DC. This is the same. The LGBTQ community will no longer take this lying down. Our civil rights are no longer up for debate or discussion.
Ugh. And of all the characters Card could have been hired to write, you give him Superman? The character that taught me to lead by example? To do the right thing, even when it was hard? To keep going, even when it seemed hopeless? What an insult. Kids are killing themselves. They are killing themselves in a climate of intolerance and homophobia publicly fostered by people like Orson Scott Card. You don't have to contribute to this. You shouldn't. You mustn't.
What can you do to keep my business, and the business of other LBGTQ readers (and their straight allies) who feel utterly betrayed by this thoughtless, illogical decision? Great question, DC. Yank the story. Don't publish it. You don't have to fire Card. Pay him, thank him for his time, and run something else. Say, by Phil Jimenez, or one of the other incredible LGBTQ talents you have in your stable that have been alienated by this colossal blunder. Then, publish an It Gets Better comic. With 100% of the proceeds going to the Trevor Project. Stories starring Batwoman, Bunker, Alan Scott, and straight heroes too. I'll do you a favor: I'll write the Superman story, free of charge. I've got more than thirty years of Superman research under my belt, so I think I know him pretty well.
I wish you did too.

We stayed here for a week. The roads were narrow and people were parked everywhere. The tent section brought in numerous undesirables. There were so many tents it looked like New Orleans after Katrina. The rules were never enforced and kids were driving golf carts like idiots. The office staff and many of the campers were French Canadian and could not have been any more rude. There were a group of inner city kids taking part in a boot camp type of rehabilitation. If I wanted to camp with that element I would have stayed in an inner city. There were numerous incidents of theft from campsites and unlocked vehicles in the time I was there. I will never patronize this place again, I felt unsafe and was not comfortable with the crowd of unruly people who were staying here.

It seems that this campground has fallen into a state of disrepair. The sites needed the grass cut along with weed whacking and the site had 4X4's boxed out to back into. They were rotting and decomposed. This was a beautiful campground several years ago, I don't know what happened. I do not think that I will visit this campground again. The water lines are above ground and exposed and the sites had barely any stone on them and were all unlevel.
