Get To Know Our
Handmade Peruvian Rugs
Extraordinary craftsmanship is what makes simple design powerful. Case in point: our fab Peruvian rugs. They embody the style, craft, and joy that we've built our brand on.
And thanks to Aid to Artisans—a nonprofit with a passion for handmade traditions and innovative product development—we get to provide our expert Peruvian craftspeople with gratifying work on a daily basis.
When our craftspeople feel good about their work, we feel good about our product.
We believe that our flat weave rugs are second to none. And here's why…
We Believe In
Wool That Works
Our super resilient Peruvian llama wool is raised at high elevations in the Andes. That means higher concentrations of naturally occurring lanolin, which makes for a denser, thicker, and softer wool. The result: premium barefoot rugs, exceptionally comfortable and irresistible under foot.
We Believe In
Sustainable Chic
It's simple: Handmade products are the greener alternative. All the necessary materials for our rugs are sourced locally in Peru. And, since our rugs are made by individual artisans (rather than by a machine), each one is unique and comes with special artisanal touches. These are the marks of a high quality, superior product.
We Believe In
A Family Affair
In the beginning, Aid to Artisans introduced us to one family of expert weavers in Peru. After we showed them our patterns, our weavers taught other weavers, and soon there were multiple communities creating remarkable rugs based on traditional techniques.
This Is How We Do It
It takes a small army to make our Peruvian rugs—or more specifically, a big family. This is a multigenerational craft: exceptional skill and a history of weaving. Every member of the household contributes.
1 Dyeing The Yarn
A great deal of effort is put into matching the color of our yarn with the colors you see online. Because an in-depth knowledge of the craft and tradition of dyeing is required, the oldest women of the household typically take on this task. It's grandmother who knows just the right amount of dye, or the right angle at which to hang the yarn from the ceiling to dry.
2 The Weaving Process
Our wooden looms not only take great strength to operate, but great skill, too. That's why the strongest men of the household take on the task. Fathers and sons work together to trace the pattern made by our designers, to weave the warp and weft strands of wool, and to batten each filling yarn against the fell. Every step is carried out by hand with amazing precision, attention to detail, and passion—something a machine can't offer.
3 Quality Assurance
Our rugs must meet exacting specifications. Mother and daughter teams lay the rug on a table and inspect for flaws with a small pick. Stray strands of yarn are removed, edges are cleaned up, and the finished product is made seamless and ready for shipment to our customers.
We Believe In
Minimal Pattern, Maximal Style
"I'm a craftsperson, so I have respect for the craft."
—Jonathan Adler
An eye for style and design can take expert craftsmanship to the next level. That's where Jonathan comes in. Because of the majesty of the material, the fabulousness of the feel, and the coutureness of the construction, Jonathan chose simple patterns that let the inherently impeccable aspects of the craft speak for themselves.
A luxe artisanal tradition becomes fresh by combining modern pattern with indigenous practices. The end product has a dynamic sizzle that you can't help but walk all over.Shop Peruvian Rugs ▸ Shop All Rugs ▸
Feeling creative?
Go custom.
Create your perfect piece online, and let our Peruvian weavers do the rest. After you've clicked and carted, our design team translates your vision into a pattern for our artisans, who lay it out, trace it, and make it happen.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Marcus Stroud
Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:14 pm Former Bills and Patriots DT Marcus Stroud is considering a return to the NFL this season.
Fantasy Source Spin: After undergoing offseason surgery last year, Stroud came down with a staph infection in his shoulder, leading to his release from the Patriots. Now 33 after a year away from football, Stroud is seeking a job as a rotational lineman, likely in a 4-3 defense. Stroud estimates he's 60 percent healthy now and expects to be 100 percent by June.
Source: Alex Marvez on Twitter
Thu Jul 28, 2011 10:41 am Patriots released DL Marcus Stroud.
Fantasy Source Spin: The mistake signing cost the Pats a $150,000 signing bonus. Stroud reported to training camp with a bum shoulder, likely the same one he had surgery on during the early winter. He never fit New England's defensive scheme well anyway.
Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter
Fri May 20, 2011 12:40 pm Opposing GMs assure CSN New England's Tom Curran that Patriots DL Marcus Stroud "can still play and is very professional."
Fantasy Source Spin: Stroud had some monster performances in the Bills' 4-3 defense back in 2008, but his play dropped off precipitously in the move to a 3-4 scheme. The Pats can use him as a rotational end in Bill Belichick's system, but expectations should be relatively low at age 33.
Source: CSN New England
Mon Mar 7, 2011 4:01 pm The Patriots' two-year deal with DL Marcus Stroud includes base salaries of $1.2 million (2011) and $1.7 million (2012).
Fantasy Source Spin: More telling is Stroud's meager $150,000 signing bonus -- the only portion of the contract that is guaranteed. If he's on the roster in 2011, Stroud will have collected $1.8 million for the year. Stroud won't be assured of a spot on the final 53 after struggling mightily at end in the Bills' 3-4 last season.
Source: ESPN Boston
Sun Mar 6, 2011 12:11 pm Three league sources have told the Boston Globe's Greg A. Bedard that DE Marcus Stroud is not a lock to make the Patriots this summer.
Fantasy Source Spin: If Stroud does make the team, he isn't likely to be anything more than a rotational player, and is expected to make his biggest contribution in the locker room.
Source: Boston Globe
Tue Mar 1, 2011 11:58 am Patriots signed DE Marcus Stroud to a two-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stroud, 33 in June, was a total misfit for a 3-4 defense in Buffalo, so we can't imagine the Patriots are guaranteeing him much money. Ideally, he'd pan out as a rotational player, seeing about 20-25 snaps per game. The Pats are suddenly deep at defensive end with Stroud added to a mix that also includes Ty Warren, Ron Brace, Mike Wright and Brandon Deaderick.
Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter
Thu Feb 17, 2011 11:17 am Free agent DT Marcus Stroud is recovering from postseason shoulder surgery.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stroud indicated that he plans to pursue his free agent options once he's 100 percent. Turning 33 in June, he could perhaps help a team as a situational 4-3 defensive tackle. Stroud was obviously out of his element as a 3-4 end.
Source: Buffalo News
Wed Feb 16, 2011 11:51 am Bills released DT Marcus Stroud.
Fantasy Source Spin: The move was not unexpected. The Stroud trade three years ago was a bad idea and the subsequent $20.5 million extension was even more ill-conceived. Stroud was due $4.5 million in 2011 on the heels of two straight years of poor run defense. The 32-year-old is not an ideal fit in the Bills' 3-4 scheme, and the team wanted to open up playing time for promising second-year end Alex Carrington. Expect Stroud to draw a look from 4-3 teams this offseason.
Source: Pro Football Talk on Twitter
Sat Jan 8, 2011 1:18 pm The Buffalo News expects the Bills to consider releasing DE Marcus Stroud this offseason.
Fantasy Source Spin: The suggestion is made to open playing time for 2010 third-round pick Alex Carrington. Stroud had 49 tackles and three sacks, but played poorly against the run for a second straight season. He turns 33 in June and is due a $4.5M salary. It wouldn't be surprising if Carrington is already a better option.
Source: Buffalo News
Tue Oct 26, 2010 9:59 am Bills DE Marcus Stroud left in Week 7 for a period of time with a hyperextended elbow but was able to return.
Fantasy Source Spin: He's expected to be fine for Week 8. Stroud has bounced back with strong play this season after a disappointing 2009.
Source: Buffalo News
Tue Oct 5, 2010 9:00 am Bills DE Marcus Stroud (ankle) plans to practice Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stroud didn't play in Week 4 and was still sporting a brace on his ankle Monday, but he hopes to be ready for Week 5. "That's the plan," said Stroud. "So Wednesday I'll get out there and give it a whirl and we'll see where its at."

Tue Oct 5, 2010 9:00 am Bills DE Marcus Stroud (ankle) plans to practice Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Stroud didn't play in Week 4 and was still sporting a brace on his ankle Monday, but he hopes to be ready for Week 5. "That's the plan," said Stroud. "So Wednesday I'll get out there and give it a whirl and we'll see where its at."

Sun Oct 3, 2010 12:07 pm Bills declared DE Marcus Stroud, ILB Andra Davis, QB Levi Brown, OT Jamon Meredith, OT Ed Wang, DL John McCargo, CB Terrence McGee, and S Cary Harris inactive for Week 4 against the Jets.
Fantasy Source Spin: Without Stroud and Davis, the Bills run defense is an even more attractive matchup for Shonn Greene and LaDainian Tomlinson this week.
Wed Sep 29, 2010 2:56 pm Bills DE Marcus Stroud had a boot on his left foot at team headquarters Wednesday and is expected to miss Week 4.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Bills are getting back ILB Paul Posluszny to boost their run defense, but appear to be losing Stroud at the same time. His exact injury is undisclosed. After an awful 2009 season, Stroud had been playing the run well in 2010.
Source: Buffalo News
Thu Feb 4, 2010 4:32 pm Marcus Stroud believes he can play two-gap nose tackle in the Bills' new 3-4 defense.
Fantasy Source Spin: "As long as I can be healthy, I feel like I can do well in either system," said Stroud. "If that's the case and I have to move to nosetackle, then I'll do it." The aging Stroud is hardly the prototype nose at 6'6/310, so the Bills may take a close look at Tennessee's Dan Williams and Alabama's Terrence Cody in the draft.
Source: buffalobills.com
Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:34 pm Bills DT Marcus Stroud (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Originally slated to miss 5-7 days, he returned in just two. The Bills gave the wide-bodied nose tackle a $28M deal this spring and will again rely on him to key their run defense. They'll hope he doesn't wear down late like last year.
Source: Associated Press
Tue Apr 7, 2009 4:26 pm Bills agreed to terms with DT Marcus Stroud on a two-year extension that includes $20.5 million in "new money."
Fantasy Source Spin: Stroud is essentially getting a new four-year, $28 million contract. $12 million is guaranteed and he'll get $16M in the first two seasons. Stroud turns 31 in June, battled injuries in each of the 2006-2007 seasons, and isn't nearly the pass rusher he once was. It's pretty surprising that the Bills are extending his deal when he was already signed through 2010.
Source: Profootballtalk.com
Sat Mar 1, 2008 4:23 pm FoxSports.com reports that the Bills acquired former Jaguars DT Marcus Stroud for third- and fifth-round picks.
Fantasy Source Spin: Buffalo's run defense just got more stout. Stroud, 30, hasn't been the same since undergoing ankle surgery in 2006, but he's a premier tackle when healthy. That isn't often. Profootballtalk reports that Stroud will get more upfront money on his current deal, but won't get a significant raise from the Bills.
Source: FOXSports.com
Thu Feb 28, 2008 4:04 pm The Lions and Jaguars have talked about a possible Marcus Stroud-for-Shaun Rogers deal.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's hard to get a free agent defensive tackle, but there are plenty of solid options available on the trade market. Stroud carries serious injury concerns, but the Lions seem intent on shipping Rogers out of Detroit.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Rape isn't about uncontrollable sexual desire. You only have to listen in on a Call of Duty game to see that. When that kid crows, "I raped you!", he's not calling the other guy sexy; he's saying he defeated him, dominated him, humiliated him. That's what rape is about, and that should scare you.

All nine of Disney's first collection of animated classics on DVD are included in this set. Some of the nine titles include bonus features, and the DVD format will provide optimum sound and picture quality for the young and old collector alike. The crown jewels are Pinocchio and The Little Mermaid. The former celebrates its 60th anniversary with a brand new print, while the latter is the 1989 film that revitalized Disney's animation wing and brought new audiences to the art form. Both offer Oscar-winning songs. Two of the popular classics from the '60s are represented with 101 Dalmatians and The Jungle Book, which was the last animated feature that Walt Disney directly worked on and which saved the animation department when it was a box-office hit in 1967. Hercules and Mulan make great strides in the look of animation. The mythical figures of the former are based on the radical designs of Gerald Scarfe, and the latter makes bold advancements in computer animation in the refreshingly unknown legend of a Chinese girl. The collection rounds out with Lady and the Tramp in a grand widescreen format, the charming Peter Pan that hardly shows its age, and 1998's The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, a made-for-video sequel. Although the sequel is entertaining, it's frustrating to note the original The Lion King has been kept out of circulation completely for a few years (as Disney does with many classics), gearing towards a grand future release into theaters. --Doug Thomas

'Parent' Cells Reset the Cell Division ClockMay 8, 2014 1:38 pm | News | Comments
Melbourne researchers have overturned a 40-year-old theory on when and how cells divide, showing that 'parent' cells program a cell division time for their offspring that is different from their own. Scientists from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have shown that both phases of the cell cycle contribute to the overall change in division time rather than one staying fixed in duration as previously thought.
Stress May Naturally Make Stem Cells of Mature CellsApril 30, 2014 3:21 pm | by Cynthia Fox | Blogs | Comments
Stress can naturally prompt mammals to make "extraordinary" stem cells from certain "ordinary" mature cells by dedifferentiation. Three strong papers finding this came out within weeks of the controversial Nature "acid bath" work, which was about dedifferentiating mature cells into stem cells via the stress of acid. Confidence in the "acid" work hit a new low. But the other three studies drew some raves.

Immune System Molecule with Hidden TalentsJanuary 22, 2013 11:56 am | News | Comments
Dendritic cells perform a vital role for the immune system: They engulf pathogens, break them down into their component parts, and then display the pieces on their surface. In order to do their job, they are dependent upon the support from a class of immune system molecules, which have never before been associated with dendritic cells: antibodies.
Wind in the Willows Boosts Biofuel ProductionJanuary 21, 2013 12:58 pm | News | Comments
Willow trees cultivated for green energy can yield up to five times more biofuel if they grow diagonally, compared with those that are allowed to grow naturally up towards the sky. Researchers have identified a genetic trait that causes this effect and is activated in some trees when they sense they are at an angle, such as where they are blown sideways in windy conditions.

|07.29.11 at 1:07 pm ET
The Seahawks re-signed three of their own players Friday: linebacker Leroy Hill (according to a tweet by ESPN's Mike Sando), fullback Michael Robinson and defensive lineman Junior Siavii (according to Seahawks blogger Clare Farnsworth).
Hill played in just one game for the Seahawks in 2010, and both his playing time and his productivity had been declining steadily from 2006 to 2009. Since 2005, he has amassed 14 1/2 sacks and 277 tackles.
Siavii also missed playing time due to injury in 2010. Robinson is the Seahawks' only true fullback.

City passes no smoking on job sites
By SUE WATSON
A suggestion by John Collins, general manager of the utility department, that the city pass a no smoking rule on the job site to save on insurance, was taken up by the board of aldermen last week and extended to include all city employees as well.
Collins asked to declare Holly Springs Utility Department a smoke-free environment to save 3 percent on the insurance premium, which he said would be a significant decrease to the utility in operating costs.
He said he had already talked with his employees about the possible move. There would be no smoking on any trucks or any property where utility crews are working, he said. Employees who want to smoke will be required to take their smoke breaks off the job site, he said, which in some cases would be down the street.
After the board of aldermen motioned to approve Collins' request, some aldermen suggested that while the action was being taken up, why not make the motion to include all city employees, not just HSUD.
The motion was altered and passed unanimously.
In other HSUD business before the board of aldermen, Collins took a concern from alderman Garrie Colhoun who said citizens are complaining about the manner crews cut limbs over power lines.
"I don't know who taught these guys how to cut trees," he said. "They whack 'em off and drop limbs on bushes and don't tend to the tree. There's a proper way to trim trees."
Collins said he does not guarantee a pruning service but there have been some problem with employees dropping limbs on patios.
Colhoun fussed about the limbs being left on the curb too long.
Collins said HSUD borrows the city's brush truck and goes back to pick up limbs that have been removed over power lines.
Collins also introduced one candidate for a lineman position to the board.

SEMS is a project intended to replace three legacy systems and multiple applications used to comply with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, commonly known as Superfund. The law provides federal authority to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that could hurt public health or the environment.
According to a GAO report released July 27, SEMS lacked key supporting documentation on cost estimates. EPA officials didn't document costs at sufficient level of detail, according to GAO. EPA didn't document source data, calculations and the methodologies they used to develop the estimate, and there was a lack of documentation on the source of the rationale for the inflation factor officials used, GAO found.
But Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator of Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, and Malcolm Jackson, assistant administrator and CIO of the Office of Environmental Information, disagreed with GAO.
"The Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response believes that the SEMS project has met the spirit and intent of the cost estimating guidelines," they wrote in a letter to GAO dated June 29. "However, EPA may have used different processes or documentation in order to do so."
In their letter, the two EPA officials said GAO erroneously concludes that the SEMS cost estimate increased from $39.3 million to $62 million in two years, even though officials tried to explain the changes to GAO. Stanislaus and Jackson wrote that the revision came as a direct result of a change in the duration of the operation and maintenance included in each calculation. The $39.3 million figure is an estimate until fiscal 2013. The $62 million is an estimate through fiscal 2017. They also said that the estimate was aligned with the Office of Management and Budget's Capital Planning and Investment Control process.
GAO officials disagreed, saying EPA's SEMS program documents showed the $22.7 million increase in the estimated cost. One estimate was based on information from 2009, which had costs at $39.3 million. EPA had a second estimate released in 2011 that had costs expected to reach $62 million. However, both of them were based on a 10-year lifecycle from 2007 to 2017, according to GAO.
GAO said EPA officials updated their cost estimate in 2011, two years after GAO released the guidance.
The EPA officials further argued that GAO's cost estimation guide was only that—a guide. Beyond that, SEMS "has withstood intense internal and external review," they wrote. Further, EPA was three years into SEMS' development when the guide came out. Nevertheless, GAO's guide is a useful tool for the future estimations, they wrote.
GAO officials didn't back off their review though, saying EPA lacked the detailed documentation of estimated costs, which hindered GAO from linking the estimate and other program documents, such the system's technical baseline and schedule. As a result, GAO could not determine whether EPA's estimate reflects the current program and status.

Latest on investigation; total of 7 crew members now detainedUpdated: 2014-04-22 20:58:14 KST
And the investigation into WHY and HOW the crew got off the ferry, while hundreds of passengers were still inside, continues.
For the latest, our Laah Hyun-kyung joins us in the studio.
More crew members are now put behind bars?
Just a couple of hours ago, the Gwangju District Court issued detention warrants for the four additional crew members that were arrested yesterday -- they are not the three, including the captain, that were already taken into custody over the weekend.
So, in total, seven of the ferry's crew members are now detained.
The four crew members claim they tried to correct the ferry when it started to list but failed because there was something wrong with the navigation equipment.
Contrary to wide speculation, they also claim the captain DID issue an evacuation order.
As for the Korea Coast Guard pointing out the crew's failure to release 14 life floats, which they passed on their way to the rescue boats, they said they DID try to release the floats but failed because they were out of reach.
Each of those life floats could have carried up to 25 people.
Earlier in the day, the Coast Guard said it was about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday when the regional rescue team arrived at the accident site.
It took the team about 30 minutes to get there, which means coast guard officials were aware of the situation at 9 a.m.
An initial investigation had revealed the crew members started to escape the sinking ship at around 9:37 a.m. -- which was only about 10 minutes after the passengers were last told to stay put with their life vests on, by the crew.
As a result, most of the crew members were able to get onto the rescue boats and escape the ferry while hundreds of passengers were going down with the ship.
Investigators are also considering charging some of the crew with homicide.
Multiple factors have caused this tragic accident to happen. One of them could be the ferry's operator?
The National Tax Service launched a special probe today, into four firms that are closely related to the ferry's operator, Chonghaejin Marine Company.
The special investigation team also imposed travel bans on 30 additional personnel related to the operator.
The prosecution is also looking into whether the operator's management and the family which owns the company, evaded taxes or embezzled funds by making illegal overseas transactions.
The latest travel bans come after the president of the company Kim Han-sik and Yoo Byung-eon, former chairman of the company's parent firm, as well as his two sons, were banned from traveling this past Sunday.
The two sons are the biggest shareholders of the operator's holding company with former chairman Yoo said to be the practical owner of the firm.
The Yoo family reportedly has more than 230 million dollars worth of assets -- that's excluding debt and assets kept outside of Korea.
Reports say former chairman Yoo established 13 overseas corporate branches and used them to snowball the family's assets.
And the maritime ministry is looking into revoking the operator's business license.
Korea's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is considering revoking the ferry operator's license.
A ministry official says although the capsized ship needs to be salvaged before any conclusion is made on whether the operator INDEED contributed to the ferry's sinking, the crew's failure to evacuate the passengers is enough to revoke its license.

I don't think that many would disagree with the statement that the turnovers have been frustrating this year. Dillon Buechel is responsible for 11 of those through week 10 and Marty Mitchell added one late during the Youngstown State game. This is becoming an issue. It's not one that I expect to linger beyond this year – Buechel's going to take his lumps as a redshirt freshman, and for all of that Duquesne is 3-1 in the NEC at present. Still, I wanted to look deeper.
As I looked through the stats and game summaries, something stuck out to me. The majority of Duquesne's picks – seven of 12 – have come on third down. Of that subset, all are resulting from drives where we see a bad first down play, be it a loss or short gain or an incomplete pass. Let's take a closer look, game by game.
Vs. Dayton – 1 INT on 3rd down (1 total)
- 1st down: Ho rushes for a loss of two
- 2nd down: Incomplete pass
- 3rd down: Interception
Vs. Youngstown State – 1 INT on 3rd down (1 total, by Marty Mitchell)
- 1st down: Rush for two
- 2nd down: Rush for two
- 3rd down: Interception
Vs. WLU – 2 INT on 3rd down (3 total)
- #1
- 1st down: Rush, gain of 2
- 2nd down: Rush, gain of 4
- 3rd down: Interception
- #2
- 1st down: Rush, no gain.
- 2nd down: Rush, 3 yard loss
- 3rd down: Intercpetion
Vs. Wagner – 1 INT on 3rd down (2 total)
- 1st down: Incomplete pass (drop)
- 2nd down: Incomplete pass
- 3rd down: Interception
Vs. Bryant – 1 INT on 3rd down (3 total)
- 1st down: Rush for 5
- 2nd down: Incomplete pass
- 3rd down: Interception
Vs. St. Francis – 1 INT on 3rd down (1 total)
- 1st down: Incomplete pass
- 2nd down: Rush for no gain
- 3rd down: Incerception
It seems that interceptions are coming mostly from obvious passing situations. Whether the play is telegraphed with a young quarterback or the defense is simply looking for the pass play and has been in good position, the fact remains that choices and/or the execution of those choices on first and second down are leading to some of the more damaging turnovers of the season to this point.
The St. Francis game was the first time where Duquesne saw consistent productivity from the run-run-run series of downs, managing multiple times to get a first down from that cycle. Many other times, though – including five of the seven above – ineffective running plays on first down are leading to three and outs, or worse, that obvious passing situation where interceptions are happening. The running game simply isn't getting the yards-per-carry to give the expectation that regular use will lead to extended drives.
The other culprit is the long shot incompletion on first down, which has led to two of the interceptions later in the series and also a number of the three-and-outs, especially against SFU, WLU, and Wagner. It was a similar drive that led to the weird Aaron Fleck not-quite-a-punt play that ultimately gave St. Francis a field goal. There was an incomplete pass, a five yard run, and an incomplete pass.
I think that a lot of it comes down to a combination of play calling and execution. On the one hand, if the Dukes' offense could avoid even half of the mistakes that they make – be it turnovers, drops, or penalties – they'd be a dominant team. However, some of those situations could be avoided. The offense sometimes seems to be flying by the seat of their pants, squeaking out first downs and stalling out when there's a drive where the rushing yardage fails to approach the average. Or, they spot the other team a down by throwing an off-target 10 yard or longer pass on first down and scramble to make up for it, falling short. Why not higher percentage plays? You know by this point in the season where your strengths are.
It's worth noting that a couple of those oddball long passes have been a factor in the five interceptions that haven't taken place on third down. The pick on a 15 yard pass late in the game against RMU that led to a scoring drive and a missed extra point away from a tie is a prime example of that.
The Dukes could execute better. Passes that wideouts have a hand on should be caught at a higher clip. The line could block better for the RBs on first and second down. All of this is true.
Still, the question must also be asked: Are the offensive play calls always putting the Dukes in the best position to sustain drives? Sometimes the answer is yes, like the first quarter of the Wagner game.
Other times, an emphatic "no" glares at us through the interceptions and the three-and-outs. The Dukes offense has been the most effective when it can be methodical and really piece together solid drives, using short passes to set up the running game. Sometimes the play calling embraces that. Other times it runs as far away from it as possible.

This past Friday I went with my friend, artist Brian Hitselberger, to see a retrospective exhibition of Don Cooper's artwork at the Madison Morgan Cultural Center in Madison GA.
It was a super inspiring show in a beautiful building. I really have to hand it to the Center for how perfect the galleries are for contemporary artwork, and how sophisticated the hanging was. The Center is housed in a gorgeously restored Victorian school building with incredible historical details. It's located downtown amidst restored architectural gems spanning back to the pre-Civil War era. It's well worth the visit to see the town as well, and it's only half an hour from Athens GA.
ANYWAY, I first met Don at The Hambidge Center in 2000 where we were both doing an artist residency. I saw his work in progress during the Cosmic Egg series (seen in the last image). I later happened on an opening of his in Atlanta where I saw his Bindu series (the rest of the images). This series really blew me away! He paints a bindu (or point/dot) in the center of the canvas or paper, then rings it with concentric circles that expand outward.
My favorites of these were the watercolors on rough Indian handmade paper (seen in the photo with the bench and in the next four details). His color schemes are so surprising and fresh. I like the system he's set up for this series: the centered concentric rings. It makes the color choices and the differences in spacing between the rings exciting in their variations. The works pull together as one piece with many parts. Given the lighting and the quiet in the gallery, the Bindu paintings created a spiritual, contemplative space.
The exhibition runs through mid-August.

Taken by Stéphane Guisard, an ESO engineer and world-renowned astrophotographer, from Cerro Paranal, home of ESO's Very Large Telescope, this image directly benefits from the quality of Paranal's sky, one of the best on the planet. The image shows the region spanning the sky from the constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer) to Scorpius (the Scorpion). The very colourful Rho Ophiuchi and Antares region features prominently to the right, as well as much darker areas, such as the Pipe and Snake Nebulae. The dusty lane of our Milky Way runs obliquely through the image, dotted with remarkable bright, reddish nebulae, such as the Lagoon and the Trifid Nebulae, as well as NGC 6357 and NGC 6334. This dark lane also hosts the very center of our Galaxy, where a supermassive black hole is lurking.
NASA astronomers announced Thursday they can now predict with certainty the next major cosmic event to affect our galaxy, sun, and solar system: the titanic collision of our Milky Way galaxy with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy.The Milky Way is destined to get a major makeover during the encounter, which is predicted to happen four billion years from now. It is likely the sun will be flung into a new region of our galaxy, but our Earth and solar system are in no danger of being destroyed.
NASA has created a video depicting Earth's night sky during the next four billion years, with the Milky Way on a head-on collision with Andromeda.

How To: Shop Safely Online
A few weeks ago, Zappos customers were alerted that their personal information–names, phone numbers, email addresses, billing and shipping addresses, the last four digits from credit cards and more—was likely accessed by hackers from their database. The company's suggestion was for customers to immediately login to their account and change their password. But is that enough? How do you protect yourself and your credit while shopping online?
Check your bank account and credit card activity. Take a few minutes each day or during the week to go online and check your accounts. It's better to catch fraud early than wait until you're contacted by the bank/credit card company. Just last August, Bank of America and Citi customers were issued new debit cards by their banks because their accounts were associated with "a security concern reported at a merchant or merchants where the customer used the card."
Reset your passwords frequently. This is an easy one! Instead of using the same username and password at multiple websites or merchants, use some variety. If your information is compromised at one site, it will be harder for hackers to use that information against you elsewhere. For help setting strong passwords that you'll actually remember, see Consumer Reports.
Be skeptical of emails with your personal information. After crimes like the Zappos hacking, you can now be contacted with what looks like accurate information—your name and last four digits of your credit card, for example—but be alert. Any notice from your bank or credit card company will also be found online after you login to your account. Use the security of the company's customer service department instead of communicating through your email server.
Review your FREE credit report. There is only one website where credit reports are truly free: annualcreditreport.com. You can get one report each year from each of the three credit bureaus—Experian, TransUnion and Equifax—so I mark my calendar for every four month with the name of the company so I know which one to pull. I look for any discrepancies and make sure the data matches up with what I know to be true. If you find anything that suggests identity theft, like a credit card that you know you didn't open, head to the FTC's Identity Theft website for help.

The 2014 Undrafted Free Agents (UDFAs) class from the 2014 NFL Draft is being touted by some as one of the best in NFL history. While we saw some surprises in the late rounds of the draft, we also noticed some surprises when the news broke that certain UDFAs were being signed by teams. And not just any UDFAs, but extremely talented prospects that were "locks" to be taken in the middle rounds of May's NFL extravaganza.
Here's a look at a few notable names that were not called at Radio City Music Hall last weekend.
Antonio Richardson, Tackle, Tennessee
Richardson got a very strong grade from me early in the scouting process, so I was surprised to see him fall as far as he did. I was certain that he'd get picked up late in the sixth round, but he never was – leaving many to wonder if he didn't test well with individual teams. The Vikings picked up the tackle, hoping he can make a roster spot this fall.
Jackson Jeffcoat, Defensive End, Texas
Jeffcoat going undrafted is probably one of the draft's biggest surprises. He proved to be a force in college, and some saw him as a Day Two pick. Making things even more incredible (depending on who you root for), the Seattle Seahawks were able to pick up Jeffcoat to stack their defense once more. How do the Seahawks not win the Super Bowl again?
Shayne Skov, Linebacker, Stanford
This one might have puzzled me the most. I can't understand why a team wouldn't take a chance on Skov with a late-round selection. Heck, I had him graded in the late third, early fourth round. He's off to San Francisco, a team that I'd be shocked if they didn't give him a spot on the roster. His spirited on-field play and leadership should have been enough for a Day Two pick.
Other notable UDFAs include: LB Christian Jones (Florida State), CB Loucheiz Purifoy (Florida), DT Kelcy Quarles (South Carolina), S Craig Loston (LSU), LB Max Bullough (Michigan State), T James Hurst (North Carolina), and CB Rashaad Reynolds (Oregon State).

Are You In Need Of Some Vocational Soul Searching?
Posted in Career
No Comments »
By Christy Schutz
You'd be surprised how many people I come across who have already invested a decade or two in a particular line of work and are still unsure of what they want to be when they "grow up." This has been my experience with people who work in a traditional office setting as well as people who work from home. With so many different positions now offering full or partial telecommuting arrangements, it can be overwhelming to narrow the focus down to something that will meet someone's work arrangement needs while also leveraging their skills, interests and personality.
If you can relate to this statement, I would recommend you set aside some time to do some career self-assessment, or, as I call it, Vocational Soul Searching. You can dig deep and get clearer on the types of roles you should explore by completing the following four steps.
1.) Get really clear about what aspects of your current job you like or dislike.
Author and speaker Marcus Buckingham describes a process where you take the time over a week or two to be really mindful about the tasks that you are completing each day. Do they energize you, or strengthen you? Or do they weaken you? And it isn't about what you are necessarily good at or bad at. Someone can be really good at a task, but, absolutely dislike doing it. To complete this task, keep a pad of post-it notes nearby. When you feel a strong emotion, take a moment to jot down "I felt energized when…" or "I felt depleted when…" Chances are you will start to see some patterns emerge on the types of tasks you should navigate toward or away from.

Trade is the natural enemy of all violent passions. Trade loves moderation, delights in compromise, and is most careful to avoid anger. It is patient, supple, and insinuating, only resorting to extreme measures in cases of absolute necessity. Trade makes men independent of one another and gives them a high idea of their personal importance: it leads them to want to manage their own affairs and teaches them to succeed therein. Hence it makes them inclined to liberty but disinclined to revolution.
This quote is about trade.

Alexis-Charles-Henri Clrel de Tocqueville (July 29, 1805April 16, 1859) was a French political thinker and historian. His most famous works are Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes: 1835 and 1840) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). He championed liberty and democracy. Alexis de Tocqueville once observed that it is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth.

Living Kidney Donor Program
Contact Us By Phone

Contact Us Online
|Meet Dr. Mandelbrot, medical director of the kidney transplant program at UW Health, and listen as he explains the benefits of living kidney donation and the steps to take to find a donor.
Living donors and recipients talk about their experiences
About Living Kidney Donation
- Direct Donation: The living donor knows the organ recipient and wants to donate directly to that person. This is the most prevalent form of donation and consists primarily of relatives or close friends of the organ recipient. Transplants involving relatives have proven to be the most successful over time because of the blood relationship between donor and patient. Donors must be healthy and match the recipient's blood type and antigens. If they do not match each other, donors and recipients can enroll in the kidney exchange program.
- Non-Directed, Altruistic or Humanitarian Donation: The living donor does not know the organ recipient. The donor may choose to donate to the next person they match at a specific transplant center or can participate in a paired-exchange or kidney chain donation through the kidney exchange program.

She Talks To Angels Lyrics - The Black Crowes
Review The Song (5)
She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family
She paints her eyes as black as night now,
Pulls those shades down tight
Yes, she gives a smile when the pain comes,
The pain gonna make everything alright
Says, she talks to angels,
They call her out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name
She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy,
And the cross is someone she has not met, not yet
sponsored linksSays she talks to angels,
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name
She don't know no lover,
None that I ever seen,
And to her that ain't nothing
But to me, It means, means everything.
She paints those eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, there a smile when the pain comes,
The pain gonna make everything alright, alright yeah

The Girl With The Problem. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/11/10
In My Mind This Song Is About a young girl about 26 Or 27 Years of age & she has a drug problem.And she knows that if she doesn't get help she's going to die or go to prison. This Song is so great that I think all rock fans should listen & understand the message of the song. Thank You Roy Burton Lebanon Ohio
addiction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/9/10
The song is about addiction.It says it in the very first line.Then.. "she gives a smile when the pain comes, the pain gonna make everything alright now". The needle going into her arm is the pain. Its gonna make everything alright because she needs the drug, she'll be alright now that shes got her fix.
good song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/24/09
The song seems to be about a woman who lost a child (one of the "angels" of the title) and who now copes with her pain through the use of illegal drugs.
The song was also the inspiration for the name of an early 90s UK indie rock band called She Talks To Angels.
She talks to officers | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/24/07
To Whom It May Concern:
To me this song is about a heartbroken woman who knew the truth about something very bad and got officers to help her the only way they would listen. The officers were her angels and the woman was someone who had a son hurt by the very people who were supposed to be helping him.

Christian fears over sharia courts bill in Uganda
Country/Region: Africa, Uganda
Ugandan Christian leaders have warned that life will get worse for non-Muslims under proposed legislation that would give sharia rulings the force of law.
Ugandan Christians fear the consequences of the Muslim Personal Law bill
The Muslim Personal Law bill would give more power to Islamic Kadhi courts for Muslims on matters of marriage, divorce and inheritance. Christians fear that it could promote Islamic extremism and pave the way for a wider application of sharia in the predominantly Christian country. Muslims, who comprise around 12 per cent of the population, have been evasive on how the bill would affect those who convert from Islam; apostasy is a "crime" punishable by death under Islamic law.
Rev. Umar Mulinde, a former Muslim, now pastor of a church in Kampala, has, along with leaders of the Ugandan Joint Christian Council, been pressing the country's parliament to reject the bill when it comes to a vote, probably later this year.
He said:
Let it not be a nationally enforceable law. Life will get worse for non-Muslims.
Opponents argue that the law would create two parallel legal systems, undermining Article 21 of the Ugandan constitution, which states that all people are equal under the law in all spheres of life. But Muslim proponents of the bill point to Article 129 of the constitution, which explicitly allows for the creation of Kadhi civil courts, although their decisions are not currently legally binding. Advocates argue that failure to enact the Muslim Personal Law will prevent them from practising their religion freely and could severely harm interreligious relations.
Following pressure from Christians, the draft bill was weakened to limit the remit of Kadhi courts to marriage, divorce and inheritance. Sewaya Muhamud, chairman of the Muslim Technical Committee on the Muslim Personal Law Bill, said it did "nothing to protect Muslim family values", adding, "We want to exercise our right to worship in accordance with the principles of Islam."
Kadhi courts will operate only at the magistrate level, with appeals being handled by a secular, higher court. But the Muslim Technical Committee is pushing for their remit to extend to high-court levels.
Relations between Muslims and Christians have generally been good under President Yoweri Museveni, but conflict surrounding the bill is threatening to destabilise religious harmony. The legacy of the brutal persecution suffered by Christians under Idi Amin's dictatorship in the 1970s and the backlash against Muslims under Milton Obote still cast a shadow over the two communities.
There has been controversy and tension over the issue of Kadhi courts in neighbouring Kenya, which is also predominantly Christian. A new constitution, which retained Kadhi courts despite a court ruling that they were discriminatory, was passed in a referendum last year.

hope ≠ assume
I think that's exactly what people are assuming -- or overlooking. That HC duties are different and they sometimes change people. Many coordinators have failed as HC (and many have succeeded).
"people hope that al saunders can maintain the offense while changing it up on defense." Exactly why Gunther was promoted -- just slide on over to a different chair, all the strengths remain, all the weaknesses improve. Simple. Continuity.
I'm not assuming anything about Herm. But as others have stated here and elsewhere, it would be a blinding act of stupidity and hubris on both Herm's and Carl's part to scrap one of the league's best offenses while maintaining its worst defense.
