I mentioned before that the past several weeks I've been waking early. Like 3 a.m. early! Its been crazy, but with both the kiddos home and a pending move upon us, I really felt it was the only option to get quality work done. I didn't think I could do it at first, but I started making myself go to sleep and then rewarding myself with the perfect latte in the morning made with espresso from a local little indie roaster and I actually started looking forward to these quiet mornings.
I've had a number of photography & design projects that I'm completing. Along with closing down the shirt shop for now…its been busy. This week, however I am waking at 4 a.m. (sleeping in an extra hour) annnnd I'm back to blogging. I have things to share that is going on with our family! Some big news I want to make sure I keep record of. I'm not taking any more design work on or possibly printing again until mid November, early December. When that point comes, I'll re-evaluate. I am going to start sharing photoshop actions again (I've made a few new favorites that I really love, and have been using them in all of my editing, its so fun).
This month when I flipped the calendar page I saw the word "Prepare". How perfect, as this is the theme of our month. We were preparing without any knowledge of where we were moving, what we are doing which impacted so much! School for the kids, housing, and a lot of other things were up in the air. We now have more insight into all of that which is helping us to move forward with some of the still unknowns. Its all been sorta flying by the seat of our pants with lots of talks together.
Stay tuned as I share more about where we are moving and what we are doing… we are on a new path, an exciting adventure!

|awaking to the glow February 2007
She is still awaking, sleep still in her vision. Clinging to anything soft and comforting, an old handmade blanket, a threadbare teddy bear with stuffing coming out of its paws, a thin pillow smelling of lavender and night sweat. She is trying to go back to sleep afraid that fear will stun her once again. So my waking is slow. I am watching these dear dreams float into my heart once again on rays of sunlight between the drapes. I am stretching out of bed like my canine friends, shifting this soul that has been in deep well, remembering how to believe anew.
Yes, my voice is still trembling.
So I will begin here at a whisper.
I will begin right here.
Waking up late.

Hi :) I'm ELF, Sungmin and Kyuhyun biased. Hope we can be friends! ♥
After reading @GaemGyu 's interview I feel that 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun' gives him happiness, from the stage experience and also because it enables him to review the past years though his previous musicals since he debuted on stage with 'The Three Musketeers' and realize his progression since then, I feel very happy for him.
He also could guide younger artists like Seohyun after being guided himself by senior musical actors, which is proof of another archievment, being able to guide as well as being guided.
I wish I could see him perform one day but I'm sure his acting is convincing enough because he surely made progress since he debuted and benefited from the guidance of elders. People who watched TMTETS and not only ELF seemed to be happy by his overall performance after all. We can hardly compare him to Kim Soohyun because musical and drama are not similar. Each of them portrayed their own interpretation of Lee Hwon I guess.
And yes, the clothes suit him very very well! Maybe he was made to be king during Joseon dynasty…cute and handsome king.
As for the emotions being conveyed through songs, his heavenly voice alone conveys so much, hence I am sure feelings are always felt when seeing him perform.
I'm glad he found in musicals a way to prove how talented he is in many aspects and I know many opportunities awaits for 27 year old talented singer and musical actor Cho Kyuhyun!

What the movie points to is worth following until you're left with an enormous map that you spend the rest of the drive trying to refold.
Carruth's visual approach, saved from abstraction by his own rapid, forward-leaping editing, is extremely assured. Seimetz is a fine and expressively haunted actress. I look forward to the enigmas in Carruth's next picture.
Should you see Upstream Color? A better question may be: How many times should you see it?
The most visually imaginative American film since David Lynch's Eraserhead.
A cerebral, mournful mystery that resonates like a tuning fork struck on a far-off star.
The remarkable Amy Seimetz is as central to the film as women in Krzysztof Kieslowski's late films, like Ir�ne Jacob in "Three Colors: Red" and "The Double Life of V�ronique" or Juliette Binoche in "Three Colors: Blue."
No amount of concentrated analysis can really explain the level of deep emotion that Upstream Color effortlessly evokes.
Upstream Color is a trippy and enjoyable exploration of connections both direct and indirect.
It's evocative, but beneath the stylised direction and the mesmerising soundtrack, perhaps a little cold, like a concept album without a fully formed idea to drive it.
The miracle of Upstream Color is that a film so carefully and exquisitely composed can yield so many moments of open-ended cinematic rapture.
However you watch it, it's a movie that will mean more for you if you don't worry about what's happening minute-by-minute and, instead, just let your mind wander as its muted images and snippets of dreamy poetry flow.
Clearly, the film is intended as a tactile experience of poetic ideas, of modern disconnection and biophysical insecurity and existential doubt, and the clarity of these anxieties is bruising and stunning.
Carruth deserves kudos for trying to stretch the language of film, and Kris and Jeff have some interesting moments of self-discovery, but the fragments never add up to much.
Iit's a film that I'd like to go back and look at again and give it a second go.
It's not that it's not intriguing, but Carruth has withheld any sense of glue or cohesion or even a clue as to what he's getting at.
You have to work a bit harder to put the pieces together and you're responsible for the answers, but the effort is paid back with an exhalation, a single expression on Kris' face and the recognition of it in your own.
By abandoning the need for specific interpretation, Carruth nails the fundamental inscrutability of the universe while remaining in awe of it the whole way through.
Thematically rich, layered and hypnotic, Upstream Color is a maddeningly abstract and romantic examination of love, who we are as lovers, what our love does to one another, and how that's connected to the nature of all things.
In a world where there are music stores that sell CDs of worm music, telepathically connected worm people and pigs commune on a farm and plot their revenge against a mad scientist. Well, not really, but sort of.
Audience Reviews for Upstream Color
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
"Upstream Color" is striking in many ways, most prominently in how astoundingly precise it is. There isn't a single wasted frame in the film, and every shot is composed for maximum informational density. Our introduction to Kris and the particulars of her life and the way the thief methodically strips it of all monetary value is enthralling. There is no expository dialogue explaining how the thief's chemical hypnosis process works, but understanding is reached gradually through meticulously assembled imagery. The film demands careful attention and ardently resists passive consumption, but it isn't arduous to sit through. Its photography is so hauntingly beautiful and its sound design is so involving that watching the film is a sensory experience.
Because the film has such lush nature photography and ethereal soundtrack, it occasionally evokes the work of Terrence Malick. But "Upstream Color" has none of Malick's aimlessness. It's a film explicated on very specific ideas and there is a sense of fine craftsmanship that Malick's films, especially his later ones, do not share. In many was it's closer to the cerebral and focused films of Steven Soderbergh, but that comparison also feels off, because the film is far more experiential than anything Soderbergh has made. It's not that the film doesn't have antecedents but whatever influences Carruth is drawing from are almost totally sublimated into his finished work.
Carruth has said in interviews that the editing process of "Upstream Color" only took weeks, but it plays leaner and stronger than films that have been worked over for years. There is little dialogue in the film but what there is very well rendered. The thief's hypnotic instructions to Kris have the clarity and precision of a well-rehearsed albeit very strange speech, and the sequence where Kris and Jeff slowly realize their memories are no longer as singular as they once were feels as fraught and messy as everyday conversation. That mixture of unsettling and mundane permeates the whole film and the effect is beguiling.
Like a practiced magician, Carruth carries the audience through each scenario masterfully. Many scenes in the film start off unsettlingly obscure before slowly revealing context. A man explains that his head is made of the same material as the sun. A woman is instinctively drawn to a farmer who blares his recording into the ground. A chemical within a decaying carcass bonds and turns a white orchid blue. All of these things are connected and all of these things make sense within the film's spiraling narrative though not immediately. It's that temporary gulf between presentation and understanding that separates and elevates "Upstream Color" from everything else in theaters.

Anyone else been to the new Wildflower Grill in Edmonton?
- EdiblePrairieJennifer Feb 27, 2008 10:11 PM
Hi all,
I was at the new Wildflower Grill recently. It's the new restaurant in the newly re-opened / re-branded Matrix Hotel (formerly Inn on 7th) across from Il Portico in Edmonton. I had a fairly good experience, though I'm not sure about the logic of the incredibly over-sized plates dotted with the radically small portions. I had the "hot vichysoisse" with butternut squash. It was a nice, velvety potato soup. It was about 4 spoonfuls. What can I say?! Then I had the tomato and buffalo mozzerella salad, which unfortunately lacked ripe tomatoes! My friend, however, had the squash ravioli and asparagus, and it was very good. We were both taken with the lovely roasted/grilled squash that was finely sliced lengthwise and twirled into a flower. It sounds hokey as I write it, but it was a lovely garnish and vegetable. The bill for lunch was kind of steep $25 per person before tip for two courses, no booze. Loved the cutlery and the prompt lunch service though.
Has anyone else been here? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Frankly, I was too wrapped up in visiting with my friend to be paying too close attention to the details.
I was having lunch at L'Azia yesterday and thought to myself that I should have taken a bit of a longer stroll and tried Wildflower. Depending upon what the balance of the week has in store for me I might try it out today or tomorrow and will post my thoughts.
Just a thought but I wouldn't expect much from a tomato-heavy salad in the middle of winter. The tomatoes at the market have improved a bit in the past few weeks but they're still not like the summer ones.
I'm thinking the radically small portions looked comically small on their oversized plates. I find that at the average QSR the portions are huge, enough for two or three people really, and at some "fine dining" places they're so small it's ridiculous... as though you should pay a premium for the priviledge of being at the table, nevermind the food. Geesh. I'm glad to hear that at least the service was good even if the serving size wasn't.
re: maplesugar
"tomatoes at the market"? I assume you aren't talking about farmer's market here, because i haven't seen tomatoes there yet this year.
Wildflower is on my ever-expanding list of places to try...
re: garkim
Ha, I always go for the dishes like the tomato buffalo salad in the middle of winter...specifically because there's NO WAY anyone should have that on a menu in the middle of winter, unless they are buying from a good local greenhouse like Gull Valley or Hotchkiss. Too bad that Whisky Creek Greenhouse is no more!! But yes, sadly, I did the test and the tasteless tomatoes on my plate told me plenty.
That said, the other dishes we had were very well executed, and the flavours were lovely. They also have some interesting BC / Okanagan wines which is nice, in keeping with their "Canadiana theme". I think it's overall a good addition to the city's restaurant scene. The menu is unique to the restaurant (which is becoming more of a rarity!) and if they can tune in a bit more to the seasonally available ingredients we have here, instead of bland imported tomatoes...it'll be all that more notable. The space is nice and contemporary. The kitchen obviously has talent. They just need to follow their tastebuds to what is good and local, in a seasonal context. My two cents, at least.
re: EdiblePrairieJennifer
Went Friday afternoon for lunch.
Verdict. Will definitely be going back for dinner.
NIce room. Clean finishes. Wood. Built in wine cabinets with bottom lighting to show off the decanters and some, not surprisingly, wildflower paintings to add some colour.
One side is long and rectangular leading back to the open kitchen. The L continues to the right of the front door into a small but serviceable working bar rather than a holding bar. Just the two seats with tables for another 10 or so adjacent. 3 or 4 smaller tables for 2, most for 4 or pulled together to accomodate larger groups.
As EPJ observed lovely flatware, big plates, nice stemware, interesting placemats.
Nice touches. When one customer requested some salt. A tray was presented with three small bowls of different salts, French with herbs, Australian and I forget the third.
I had the sea bass served over an orzo risotto with a lobster beurre blanc sauce topped with a couple of prawns, roast butternut squash, red peppers. I know the sustainable fishery folks out there will cringe about me eating Patagonian toothfish but it was beautifully cooked. Crisp exterior with a melt in ones mouth interior. Not a huge piece but it was all I wanted as it was rich indeed.
Expensive lunch. Soups I think were in the $10 range, salads $16 to $18, another appetizer at $22 was several warm appetizers served together that I might try another time when I wanted to linger with some wine.
My sea bass was $22. Also saw another table have the ravioli that EPJ commented on, their "take" on a club and a steak sandwhich. From the exclaims the 3 ladies were enjoying their food.
Decent wine list. As EPJ also remarked, several Canadian wines from both the Niagara as well as Okanagan regions. I enjoyed some Sandhill Pinot Gris with my fish. Sommelier Cory will be sprucing up the list as time goes on.
Chef Yoshi was making the rounds, checking out customer responses to his food.
This is a very nice addition to the Edmonton dining scene.
re: EdiblePrairieJennifer
I know this will sound like heresy, but I bought a container of roma tomatoes two days ago at Costco and they were deliciously ripe and redolent with the smell of the vine. I ate them just out of the box, waiting only to let them warm up to room temperature.
Dinner for 6 last night. No complaints. Quality tableware & glassware & Frette linens. Efficient but friendly service. Serving brioche as the bread is a nice touch and had our table oohing and ahhing. Appetizer sampler ($22) was split between 2 people and as other posters have said, the portions were a little on the small side. I'd appreciate a different sparkling water choice than something imported all the way from Norway. Horrible use of the planet's resources considering we live in the most water-abundant country on earth. Passed on dessert but the mignardises that were offered were deliciously rich. (Personally, I really wanted to try dessert after seeing that they had a dedicated pastry chef but nobody else at my table had room so I didn't want to be the only one...)
Just went for Mother's Day dinner. Perhaps one of the most disappointing and unappetizing meals I have ever had. From the service to the wine selection, nothing about this restaurant lives up to the reputation it's been given. Firstly, the wine selection was depleted of all affordable wines. As a party of 6, we do not want to be drinking $125-$160 bottles. The sommalier could only offer a $75 bottle that was 'off his list'. This restaurant should seriously consider a more accessible wine selection.
The appetizers were average. It is obvious that the chef, being Japanese, is extremely skilled at Japanese cuisine as the sushi trio appetizer was by far the best thing of the night. I ordered the sirloin steak and for $48 you'd think it'd be amazing. Mine however came with mediocre sides–a cheesy quiche, small bundle of vegetables–and an undercooked, flavourless piece of meat that had a strong butane flavour. Two others had the chilean sea bass with little complaint; two had the rack of lamb which while big in portion was served warm and undercooked (rare instead of med rare). Both were sent back to the kitchen. The last member of our group ordered the salmon which was spoiled.
The chef came out and asked how our food was. When we told him about the disappointments, the chef was defensive and implied that something was wrong with us. Even the table next to us complained about their vegetables tasting like gas.
For a meal that totalled over $500, THIS WAS INEXCUSABLE!
I am adamant about not recommending this restaurant to anyone with taste buds.
- unjustifiably expensive
- slow and unattentive service
- inexperienced kitchen ridden with problems.
re: chark
Sounds like an unmitigated disaster. Too bad. I had high hopes for this spot after my lunch there some weeks ago. Have not been back for dinner but despite the poor bad experience will do so to judge for myself.
I am curious about the winelist. I am acquainted with the sommelier/general manager and I knew that he would be revamping his list but are you saying that there were no wines available under $125 apart from the $75 "off list" option? The L'Azia group does price their wines a tad more expensive than the competitition but usually there are a few more options. I think I drank the Sandhill Pinot Gris by the glass when I was there for lunch.
Yes, Chef Yoshi is very good. In my limited experience both with Japanese as well as other fare. Spoiled salmon? That is something I would not have expected in a kitchen he operates. I know I did not sense an inexperienced kitchen when I ate [I had the sea bass] but again, I ate during a relatively busy Friday lunch rather than an "event" like Mother's Day which I usually avoid like the proverbial "plague"..i.e. Mother's Day, Valentines, New Years and the like.
Oh well, I guess you will not be going back. Cannot say I "blame" you given what you have described.
Anyone else been more recently than me?
re: Bob Mac
My parents and a couple visiting from Germany went to the Wildflower the other night. My dad says it was "fine", but that it wasn't a busy night. He's been there a few times for business lunches as he works in the area, and he says it's not a bad place but he finds it a tad pricey.
The best Restaurant in Edmonton. Food colorfuland beautiful. Amazing tasts. No wonder chef Yochi has won 42 awards.
Visited last night. 7:15pm reservation, which was great as so many places seem to require either 6-6:30 or 8-8:30 timeslots, neither of which I like very much. Food was great, from amuse to mignardises. Place was steadily busy. Wine selections veered towards the expensive (overpriced?).
I was also there on Friday night and had a mediocre experience.
I had made my reservation on thursday and was thrilled that they were able to accomodate me on such short notice on a night that I am sure was very busy. My reservation was at 915 and I was happy to see that I was not the only late table.
We were a little disappointed in the wine selection. All of the wines by the bottle were quite expensive but having been there before I had expected that. We decided to go with wines by the glass but were a little put off when after three of us made our three different orders we were each told that they didnt have that selection and the waiter tried to upsell all of us the 18$ per glass selection.
When we went to order out appatizer I took a quick pause to get the wording right for the order and the server assumed that I was going to order the appatizer tasting - which happen to be the most expesive appatizer on the menu. It did look fantastic but I did not appreciate the level of upselling that was being pushed on us.
Our appy was amazing but for some of us the entree left a bit of a bad taste in our mouths. The Steak & Lobster had a bit of a weird taste to it - not off but different. It was like the meat was cryovacked with some kind of flavour that penetrated the meat all the way through. It was good but overbearing after a few bites.
The rest of the dinner was great and while I will be back - I am anxiouse try the Sunday Brunch - I did not appreciate the server trying to sell me the most expensive item at every level of the meal. I do understand that is their job but sometimes it just comes across as pushy.
re: Bellavino
You have every right to be upset with "blatant" upselling.
I mentioned the wine prices to the person who was then, has apparently since left, the manager and he was going to revise it.
Does not sound like he did.
re: Bob Mac
is the problem that the wines are too expensive for what they are (as in marked up way too much) or that they only offer expensive wines (but ones that warrant the price)?
I just looked at their website and there isn't a wine list. But the menu seems odd - some stuff at OK prices, then $48 for a striploin! That is one of the most expensive in town I think (not sure, as I seldom pay attention to steaks in restaurants, as it is one thing I do really well myself)
re: Bellavino
Sorry to hear about the aggessive upselling. I can't stand it either, and fortunately didn't have any issues with that on my visit.
For the record, I think the appetizer sampler at $22 is not quite enough food for two people. I say 'not quite' because the actual amount of food is probably OK but they way it's divided the two guests really each have to pick 2 of the 4 items each vs. trying all 4. Or for 1 person it would be a pretty expensive appetizer.
re: egon61
I am thinking that the upselling was just the style of my waiters service and not a reflection of the restaurant itself.

By combining our threat data and analysis capabilities, our larger research team will have a broader detection network and, as a result, more data from which to identify threats and develop countermeasures.â€
Mike Cote, president and CEO of SecureWorks, will serve as President and CEO of the combined companies, while LURHQ founder and CEO Tony Prince will be Executive Vice President. Prince will be responsible for guiding strategy for the combined company. The remaining leadership positions in the company will be filled with a blend of LURHQ and SecureWorks executives.

Comstock Holding Co. Inc Stock Upgraded (CHCI)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- CHCI's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 25.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 193.7%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 142.85% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 71.91% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- COMSTOCK HOLDING COS INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has not demonstrated a clear trend in earnings over the past two years, making it difficult to accurately predict earnings for the coming year. During the past fiscal year, COMSTOCK HOLDING COS INC swung to a loss, reporting -$0.47 versus $0.10 in the prior year.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 3.43 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Household Durables industry and the overall market, COMSTOCK HOLDING COS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Hello from Oklahoma. Long day of traveling.
I got an e-mail earlier today asking why the AJC hasn't done a position-by-position breakdown of the Bulldogs going into the season. Actually, we did. It ran in the newspaper in last Sunday's college football preview section. But I'm glad you asked, and I thought it'd be appropriate to post it here on the night before the opener. . . .
Scouting report: Joe Cox has won the past 32 games he has started at quarterback. Problem is, only one of them has been in the past four years. Cox went 31-0 as the starter at Independence High School in Charlotte and won the only game he has started for Georgia (at Ole Miss in 2006). The fifth-year senior, who will graduate in December, gets one season as UGA's starter before moving on to a planned coaching career. He doesn't have Matthew Stafford's big arm — or big bank account — but Georgia expects him to complete a high percentage of his passes and to provide steady management of the offense. Georgia also is expected to be creative in getting dual-threat backup QB Logan Gray into games. Promising freshmen Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger are still finding their way. "I'm pleased with all the quarterbacks, quite frankly," coach Mark Richt said. "I think we've got some outstanding quarterbacks at Georgia right now."
What must go right: Basically, Cox has to be the player on Saturdays that teammates and coaches say he has been on the practice field for years: an accurate passer, good decision-maker and consummate leader who thrives under pressure.
What could go wrong: Face it, Cox has thrown only 58 passes in games in the past four years – only 15 last season. He remains an unknown commodity on Saturdays.
Scouting report: Georgia appears set on Richard Samuel — a 6-foot-2, 224-pound, 18-year-old, sophomore tailback from Cartersville — as the starter at Knowshon Moreno's old spot. Samuel is a physical runner who might be able to carry a heavy load, but other tailbacks also figure to find roles as Georgia tries to replace Moreno's 1,400 rushing yards and 392 receiving yards. The 5-foot-7 Carlton Thomas and (when healthy) the former Gwinnett County prep star Caleb King likely will be part of the equation, and freshman Washaun Ealey might still work his way into it, too. While tailback remains a work-in-progress, there is clarity at fullback, where junior Shaun Chapas, a powerful blocker, is entrenched. "He makes coaching that position very easy," running backs coach Bryan McClendon said.
What must go right: Clearly, the Bulldogs have to run the ball effectively. They are 37-3 in the Richt era in games in which they have a 100-yard rusher.
What could go wrong: The coaches' main concern about Samuel has been that he has a bit of a reputation for fumbling. If that recurs, he'll be on the sidelines.
Scouting report: A young, injury-ravaged line held up reasonably well last season, and a healthier, more experienced line is expected to be a pillar of this year's team. The best news for this group is that Trinton Sturdivant, a starter as a freshman in 2007, is back at left tackle after missing last season because of knee surgery. Other projected starters are: left guard Chris Davis, who started every game last season at three different spots on the line; center Ben Jones and right guard Cordy Glenn, both of whom made the All-SEC freshman team last year; and right tackle Clint Boling, a junior who started 12 games last season at three positions. Justin Anderson and Vince Vance, both former starters, are among the backups. "We've got some experience coming back at O line, but we don't have five guys who have played the same position next to each other," offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. "I know everybody thinks we're going to be awesome on the offensive line, but we've got to find some continuity."
What must go right: With the loss of so many playmakers from last year's offense — Stafford, Moreno, Massaquoi — the line is being counted on to smooth the transition with stellar play.
What could go wrong: Injuries, old or new, remain a worry. Will Sturdivant's reconstructed knee hold up all season? Will Jones be 100 percent for the opening game after a preseason ankle injury? Will Vance, who also had knee surgery, regain his form of early last season?
Scouting report: A.J. Green caught 56 passes for 963 yards as a freshman last year while playing, he admitted later, with a groin injury that bothered him all season and without full grasp of the playbook. Makes you wonder how much better he could be this year, healthy and well-versed. "I'll be the 100 percent A.J., whatever that is," Green said. A key to his season — and certainly to the team's — will be whether other receivers can complement him nearly as well as Mohamed Massaquoi did last season. Fifth-year senior Michael Moore is being counted on for a lot of catches, but beyond him Georgia will need production from inexperienced receivers like redshirt freshman Tavares King and highly touted true freshmen Marlon Brown and Rantavious Wooten. Also, expect the Dogs to throw to the tight end much more than a year ago, with freshman Orson Charles, a prolific pass-catcher in high school, a fascinating addition there. Aron White, likely the season-opening starter at TE, also can be a threat.
What must go right: Simply put, the players who are given open opportunities when opponents double-team Green must make plays.
What could go wrong: The freshmen could struggle, as freshmen not named A.J. Green often do.
Scouting report: The defensive front should be a strength of the team and maybe one of the best in college football, with Jeff Owens returning from knee surgery to join Geno Atkins and Kade Weston in giving the Bulldogs three highly regarded seniors at the two tackle spots. "We want to set the tempo," Atkins said. The starters, Owens and Atkins, have a combined 44 games of UGA starting experience. Owens had 24 starts before a torn ACL ended his 2008 season in the first quarter of the first game, and his return restores a vocal leader to the defense. Sophomore DeAngelo Tyson, a Parade All-American in high school, is the fourth DT – a testament to the strength of the position.
What must go right: The interior D-line should provide a powerful push up the middle and stifle the run. And it would help if Atkins matches his 2007 sacks total (7.5) instead of his 2008 total (0) – a discrepancy probably attributable to opponents being able to focus on him more when Owens was out.
What could go wrong: Health is probably the biggest concern with this group. In addition to Owens' ACL tear, Weston had knee problems last year.
Scouting report: This was an injury-ravaged and unproductive position last season, when the D-ends accounted for only 9.5 sacks (2.5 in SEC games). There have been some mildly encouraging developments since then. Junior Demarcus Dobbs has had an impressive preseason, and senior Rod Battle is healthy after struggling with neck and shoulder injuries last season. Redshirt sophomore Justin Houston showed much promise in spring practice, but won't play until the third game because of a suspension for violating team rules. Coaches tried to reinforce the position by moving Kiante Tripp from the offensive line in the spring and fifth-year senior Marcus Washington from linebacker this month; freshman Montez Robinson could play, too. Somewhere in all of that, Georgia hopes there is basis for improvement. "We're going to hold up our end of the deal," Dobbs vowed.
What must go right: More pass rush from the ends is essential, and a healthy season from Battle and breakthrough seasons from Dobbs and (after the second game) Houston are probably the keys to accomplishing it.
What could go wrong: A continuation of last season.
Scouting report: There weren't many bright spots on Georgia's defense last season, but one shining light was Rennie Curran. He was named first-team All-SEC by the league's coaches, and his 115 tackles were second most in the league. The junior from Snellville again will start at weakside linebacker and will be joined in the opening-day lineup by junior Darryl Gamble at middle linebacker and senior Darius Dewberry at strongside. All have impressed in preseason practices. Akeem Dent and Marcus Dowtin also will play a lot. Curran thinks the linebacker group can be exceptional if it stays focused and disciplined. "We realize leadership and the team concept are going to be what makes us successful and sets us apart," he said.
What must go right: Curran needs to have at least as good a season as he had last year, and Gamble needs to make the type of big plays — interceptions, fumble recoveries — he has become known for on the practice field.
What could go wrong: Gamble and Dewberry battled injuries last season, as did Dewberry and Dent this preseason, although all are expected to be healthy for the opener.
Scouting report: There are two new starters in the secondary — sophomore Brandon Boykin replacing Asher Allen, who left early for the NFL, at one corner and senior Bryan Evans, a converted corner, replacing the graduated CJ Byrd at free safety. (Ask players who'll have a breakout season, and you often hear Boykin's name.)The other starters are senior corner Prince Miller and junior safety Reshad Jones. Keep an eye, too, on three promising redshirt freshmen — Bacarri Rambo, Makiri Pugh and Sanders Commings — and one true freshman, Branden Smith. Last year, remarkably, only one Georgia defensive back had an interception — Jones with five. Improving that performance has been a major point of emphasis this summer. "We've done a lot of ball drills," Evans said. "We haven't dropped many picks. We've got better judgment on the ball in the air."
What must go right: More interceptions. Better open-field tackling. Fewer penalties.
What could go wrong: Evans, who is being counted on at safety, struggled mightily in coverage while at cornerback early last season. And Jones' missed tackles against Georgia Tech last year remain a scary thought for Georgia fans.
Scouting report: Blair Walsh retains the placekicker job after an up-and-down freshman season in which he made 10 of his first 12 field-goal attempts but only five of his next 11. He has been battling junior-college transfer Brandon Bogotay for kickoff duties after struggling in that area last season. At punter, Drew Butler takes over for the graduated Brian Mimbs. After fretting about Butler's inconsistency in the spring, coach Mark Richt recently described himself as "very encouraged" and "very pleased" by his punter's progress. Elsewhere, Richt said Prince Miller likely will handle the bulk of the punt returns and said several candidates — Richard Samuel, Brandon Boykin, Bryan Evans and freshman Branden Smith — remain in the running to return kickoffs.
What must go right: With the offense in transition, reliability from Walsh on field goals is essential. Similarly, the defense needs all the field-position help it can get from Butler's punting and from Bogotay/Walsh's kickoffs.
What could go wrong: The kickoff strategy and execution will be closely watched after Walsh had eight of 75 go out of bounds, including two against Georgia Tech, and only four go for touchbacks last season.

Tim—-What's the scoop on Joe Cox's status? I'm hearing rumors on the other AJC sports blogs that Cox has the flu bug and is not necessarily fit to play . . . is this true?
September 4th, 2009

Cox has had flu symptoms the last few days, and is on medication, says the worst is over. He is in Stillwater and has said himself he expects to play tomorrow.

I hate it when people talk about a QB being a "game manager." That's just code for someone who can't make plays. Joe C. needs to be a playmaker. To have a "game manager" as a QB, you need a stout defense and a great running game, to wich UGA might have neither.
I say coming out guns a blazing in today's game. Let Joe C. ease himself into the game w/ some quick outs or screens to his WR's and RB's to move the chains. I hope we just don't give it to Samules three straight times to open the game. If we go three & out on our first possession those fans, and the Okie D will be pumped. The Okie D will load the box to begin the game to see what our passing game has. I say give it to em. Be aggressive. Let the short passing game set up the run game. Once we get the run game going then go for a long strike.
As for our D against their O, well w/o getting to specific, I say our best bet is to pray a lot.Be physical and dominate the LOS.
Sic em Dawgs!

I think both the offensive and defensive lines have to control games this year. Our DT rotation has to be the best in the country. Our DE's need to step up though. We have 7 healthy starters on the OL and they need to open holes like they did two years ago. Joe Cox will be fine. I see him having a season like DJ did after replacing Greene. It's gonna be a season of surprises but I think the BIG DAWGS will bite hard this season!

Thanks, Tim. I missed the 4:15 update article you linked.
I would hate to see Georgia have a close out-of-conference loss because Cox was suffering from a bug. I suspect we will get to see more of Logan Gray today in any event.

Critical Review by Rebecca Walker
SOURCE: "A Political Homeplace," in Ms., Vol. 1, No. 4, January-February, 1991, pp. 62-3.
In the following review, Walker asserts that "Yearning is about wanting to find health in an ailing community, and doing so through coming to voice, sharing ideas, and healing the whole community."
In these times of increased division and coalition, based on ideology and political consciousness, it is helpful to find a writer who wants to put us all together, but who does not want us to be the same. bell hooks, in her fourth collection of essays, Yearning: Race, Gender, and Cultural Politics, writes about the need for those of us engaged in what her publishers call "the politics of radical social change," to speak with true voices to one another in order to forge a healthy and spiritually dynamic community.
She proposes that criticism...

This wasn't happening already??!! Why? Money, obviously. The coroner stated even if only 10% of cases need investigating, more staff (three more MDs, some admin staff and equipment) would be needed. I'm positive this investment would be quickly returned based on the fines given to nursing homes for poor care as a result of said evals. What are they waiting for? The less than mediocre manner in which we regard elder care is revolting.
Burch said nursing home representatives are concerned that too much extra work would be generated for the facilities by the bill.
And he said nursing home officials don't like a provision that strengthens the criminal penalty for failing to report abuse and neglect of an adult.
I wonder why. Cry me a river you ingrates. Don't get me started on this one.
… the time has indeed come to make transparency of custodial interrogations the rule, rather than the exception.
Widespread implementation of the recommendation to video record interrogations in their entirety and with a camera perspective that permits a clear view of both the suspect and interrogator(s) will achieve this goal admirably.
The White Paper authors also imply that such video recordings will likely make it easier for later fact finders to detect and reject false confessions. For the sake of the innocent, all hope that this will be the case; however, anecdotal evidence and, more important, relevant psychological science suggest that it would be prudent to temper expectations in this regard. (via)
—Yeah, I keep going on about this (i know) but mandatory video taping all custodial interrogations protects the integrity of the police interrogators as well as the rights of the accused AND reduces the likelihood of a confession being thrown out on a legal technicality (for when they really are guilty). It's a win/win and there is absolutely no good reason at all why it shouldn't be the rule in every state, especially when dealing with those susceptible to psychological coercion (juveniles, ESL, psychiatric illness, etc). Further, it should be done using different camera angles to eliminate angle bias. I wouldn't trust a jury as far as I could throw them unless they had every fair resource availible…and even then, oof.
Currently, the state does not have a single full-time psychiatrist on staff to treat young offenders. Guards at the youth prisons, known as youth counselors, will be barred from physically restraining youths except when a person's physical safety is threatened or a youth is trying to escape from the institution.
N.Y. Agrees to Vast Changes in Youth Prison System - NYTimes.com
It's about time this is fixed. The situation has been horrendous for years. As bad as the state-run asylums of forty years ago.
(via mikehudack)
Long overdue bit of progress. There are some really good post-release mentoring/counseling/vocational programs (like this one I volunteered for yrs ago) and school integrated peer mentoring programs in NYC, I'm not clear on why they aren't available for juvenile populations at-risk to reach these kids before detainment. The ones I did know of were unable to get funding and were forced to shut down.
"To paraphrase Animal Farm, all people are equal, but some people are more equal than others.
A legal system cannot demand the faith and fealty of the governed when rules are seen as arbitrary and deceptive. Our leaders have led us not to an economic crisis or an immigration crisis or an environmental crisis or a civil liberties crisis. They have led us to a crisis of faith where citizens no longer believe that laws have any determinant meaning. It is politics, not the law, that appears to drive outcomes — a self-destructive trend for a nation supposedly defined by the rule of law."
Jonathan Turley, the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University
Research by the Equal Justice Initiative, which issued the 2007 report Cruel and Unusual: Sentencing 13- and 14-Year-Old Children to Die in Prison, found "73 cases where children 13 and 14 years of age have been condemned to death in prison," nearly two-thirds of them children of color. In most of the cases, "the propriety and constitutionality of their extreme sentences have never been reviewed" because the children don't have lawyers to mount such challenges. Most of the sentences were mandatory, and "the court could not give any consideration to the child's age or life history." Even among homicides, many were "offenses where older teenagers or adults were involved and primarily responsible."
Finally, as Sara Mayeux points out on her Prison Law Blog, being eligible for parole by no means guarantees that these inmates will ever actually see the light of day: "[I]nsofar as juveniles have now won a right to a parole hearing," Mayeux writes, "we might question how meaningful of a right that really is (notwithstanding the "some meaningful opportunity" language [in Kennedy's opinion]) given that in many states, parole hearings have become a sort of charade in which the prisoner can never actually win release, because the parole board routinely denies parole eligibility based solely upon the facts of the underlying crime, which is the one thing that the prisoner, of course, can never change."
In other words, for thousands of child offenders, the Supreme Court's decision today offers no hope.
"Juveniles placed in adult prisons are at heightened risk of physical and
sexual assault by older, more mature prisoners. Many adolescents suffer
horrific abuse for years when sentenced to die in prison. Children are five times
more likely to be sexually assaulted in adult prisons than in juvenile facilities."
So this is not news to anyone, and its no secret what happens in there….but what is surprising (to me at least) in a kinda related vein is re: an experimental study I did using 300 mock jurors about juveniles being tried as adults for murder. I used 3 different versions of an actual juvenile murder case and made 3 versions where the offender would be 13, 15, or 17. The participants were given a different age in the scenario and asked to read the case and decide if the juvenile should be tried as an adult where he would get life in prison, or go to a juvenile detention until he was 18, then be re-evaluated. The results showed the jurors were more likely to send the 13 and 17 year old to adult prison for life, but not the 15 year old. (Certain juror's rationale was the 15 has a chance to reform, but the 13 year old is probably damaged goods already if he is murdering at that age.) When measuring the confidence level of these mock verdicts, the older the offender the more confident they were in their verdict, which means they would send an 13 year old to adult prison, but not 100% sure if it was the right decision. Also, males were more likely than female jurors to send all of the juveniles to adult prison for life.
"…Prison officials would not allow The Times to enter the walled prison compound, which sits directly behind the police station in the heart of town. But reporters interviewed six witnesses to the disturbance as well as five others who visited the prison either immediately after the shootings or…(via)
Wow…that's pretty awesome :D
"The show is the culmination of a five-week intensive program called Shakespeare in the Courts, a nationally recognized initiative now celebrating its 10th year. Berkshire Juvenile Court Judge Judith Locke has sent these adjudicated offenders — found guilty of such adolescent crimes as fighting, drinking, stealing, and destroying property — not to lockup or conventional community service, but to four afternoons a week of acting exercises, rehearsal, and Shakespearean study."
"Pennsylvania has more than 400 inmates sentenced as juveniles to life without parole, a number more than in any other state. Why? In 1979 a referendum requiring a unanimous decision rather than a majority of the five members of the Parole Board increased the life-without-parole population. This ruling has resulted in some nonviolent inmates incarcerated for decades at a cost of millions.
It also dismisses the scientific facts shown by high tech brain scans (PET) that the pre-frontal area of the brain responsible for judgment, decision making and control of impulses is not fully developed until the mid-20s. Studies show that the majority of violent youth grow out of anti-social behavior upon maturing." (via.)
There's more…. "In contrast, New York's inmate population has decreased by 13 percent. New York officials are considering closing one or more prisons. This is attributed to alternative sentencing, intensive drug treatment, and mental health programs."
When the U.S. Supreme Court denied Charles Dean Hood's appeal last week, it was done in a one-sentence, unsigned order. Hood is a Texas death-row inmate who was convicted of murdering two people in 1990. Long after the conclusion of the trial it became clear that his trial judge and prosecutor had been secretly involved in a years-long extramarital affair. Because they were both married they denied the affair, even to Hood's death-penalty lawyers. After the clandestine relationship finally came to light, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rejected Hood's challenge in two curt sentences last September, finding that his lawyers had waited too long to raise the issue on appeal. How Hood was to have raised the conflict of interest when the existence of the affair was not conclusively established until 2008, when the judge and prosecutor were forced to admit it under oath, is not explained.

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed this cuticle cream because I have been using it for years! Most of all, I LOVE the lemony scent! I also adore the cute tin this comes in. I like having one of these in my purse and one on my night stand to put onto my cuticles before bed. It really works to keep them from drying out and is one of the best cuticle creams that I have tried. I saw a documentary about the woman who started the Burt's Bee's brand and it discussed how it became famous because of the all-natural ingredients. Ironically she ended up selling the line to the Clorox company! As far as I can tell though, the formulation of this cuticle cream hasn't changed! It's a great cuticle cream for the price.

Burt Bee's lemon butter cuticle cream has a nice lemon scent to it. I usually try to use this on my cuticles once or twice a day since I frequently wash my hands throughout the day. It's non-greasy, and prevents dry, cracked cuticles from ruining your manicure. There is a lot of product in the small tin that it comes in, so it should last me two years.

i have gnarled cuticles and have been in search of a cuticle cream to help me! i love this stuff! it's pretty inexpensive ($6 at Wal-Mart), smells delicious and is easy to apply.
I read some people think it's too greasy, but I haven't noticed it too much. Yes, is greasy of course, but not excessively. Whatever is left on my fingers, I rub into the palms of my hands or on my fingers (they're dry too lol)
I carry it everywhere and apply it whenever I think to.

There are reviews that state there is an artificial lemon scent. These lovely reviewers have not looked at the ingredients because that scent is actual lemon oil. There are also reviews stating this is too oily, but I question whether those reviewers massaged it into their cuticles.
I have been a cuticle picker my entire life, so my cuticles are a disaster. This balm stays in my bag always, and is massaged into my cuticles whenever I remember or have the chance. Yes, this product is oily when it melts down with your body heat, so I massage it into my fingers and then rub the extra product into my hands. I have yet to get any greasy marks on my clothing or accessories. When I use this, my hands look very nice. Sometimes I massage some Vaseline over the cuticle creme to seal in the moisture.

I don't know if I'm just not using this enough but I'm not seeing any results. It does smell great though.

I generally do not care for Burt Bees products, however, this cuticle cream is definite HG for me and I have been purchasing it for years. I am a sucker for anything that smells citrusy. However, my experience has been that many products that claim to have that type of scent, smell very manufactured and artificial. Not this one - it truly smells like you just cut open and squeezed the juice out of a fresh lemon. I also like the somewhat retro look of the cute little tin container. I keep one next to my bed and religiously apply it every night before going to sleep and because it's so small and convenient, I always have one in my purse to use when I'm on the go. My cuticles are always in great shape and look/feel healthy and nourished. It may sound silly, but if I begin to feel that sluggish mid-afternoon energy crash, one whiff of this does wonders in making me feel invigorated and wide-awake again. Love it!!!

The best part of this product has to be the smell. It's divine. It definitely makes my cuticles & nails look nice, not quite as nice as regular cuticle oil but the scent makes it worth using. It really smells like fresh lemons or lemonade, not at all like anything synthetic or chemical. I have to apply it more frequently than regular cuticle oil - I usually apply this product before bed each night. This is a great alternative to cuticle oil though, because it's a balm not a liquid, so application is much less messy and can be done anywhere.
The packaging is cute but not as functional as I'd like. As with so many other burt's bees products, this would be better in a stick than in a tin. Although the tin looks small, it will last a very long time. Definitely worth the $6, but you could never tell by just looking at the size.
I picked this up at Walgreens for about 6 bucks the other day, after reading tons of MUA reviews. Previously I had been using plain grape seed oil on my cuticles, however, while it works great, it is really greasy.
This cuticle cream comes in a cute, travel friendly round tin that opens easily but stays securely shut when not in use.
The cuticle cream is thick, and waxy, and smells like real, natural Meyer lemons, not that artificial lemon citronella smell that Lush's lemony flutter has.
a few swipes of this on my cuticles keeps them in shape and prevents hangnails, all without leaving greasy fingerprints on everything I touch.
While the tin was about 6 bucks, which could be a little steep, the amount of product you use per application, means this should last months. I'm pleased, and would purchase again.
Good cuticle cream. I definitely notice a difference after using it - my cuticles are softer and less prone to cracking in the cold winter months. A little oily and doesn't get fully absorbed right away, so good to use it at night so it can soak in overnight. The packaging is a little less than ideal - it can be hard to open and it's awkward to close with greasy fingers after you apply the cream. I have the yellow tin.

This product is great for dry cracked cuticles and dry nails. It smells nice, like lemon curd. I like to use it at night b/c it is a tad greasy but it's full of oils, what do you expect!?

webOS to Android?
Palm to Adopt Android?
They have posted an article, quoting an anonymous, unconfirmed memo that – if genuine – seems to indicate that Palm may be considering adopting Android.
The supposed memo from Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein, reads:
"While Palm is incredibly proud of our engineers who spent timeless work and effort to bring us this advanced operating system, consumers simply have not caught on. To provide a better future for ourselves and our customers, the only logical choice is to transition our hardware and software to the Android platform."
webOS currently powers Palm's Pre smartphone. Wired concludes that although the switch would be a logical move, it is also a risky one. Wired states that "in swapping to Android, Palm would be throwing out the one unique thing that it has to sell," before advising Palm to stick with WebOS – if indeed the company is considering a switch.
