DeKALB — An upcoming production by the Northern Illinois University School of Theatre and Dance explores how politics can become intimately intertwined with individual values and personal judgment.
Playwright Tony Kushner's "A Bright Room Called Day," based on Bertolt Brecht's 1938 play "The Private Life of the Master Race," will run Jan. 31 through Feb. 3 and Feb. 7 through 10 in the Stevens Building Players Theatre on the NIU campus.
"A Bright Room Called Day" opens on conversations between a middle-aged German actress and her artistic friends in the early 1930s. As they witness the fall of democracy and Adolf Hitler's rise to power, they realize they must face challenges to their lifestyles and beliefs.
A subplot is introduced when Zillah, a 1990s New Yorker, interrupts the 1930s scenes to offer her perspective on the happenings in 1930s Germany. As she draws comparisons between Hitler and President Ronald Reagan, she ultimately flees to Germany to escape what she believes is an increasingly dangerous American government. When she arrives in Germany, the lines between past and present blur.
"A Bright Room Called Day" is directed by Alexander Gelman, who said the point of the play is not to compare Reagan and Hitler, but to ask questions about individual limits in society and politics.
"I don't think plays are there to give us answers," Gelman said. "I don't think it's that simple."
He said a quote from the play – "If someone is 25 percent Nazi, is that a Nazi?" – sums up the theme. As people move their analysis away from the Hitler extreme, at what point does behavior and ideology stop being evil?
"It really has to do with personal choices that are affected by and, in turn, affect political realities," Gelman said. "Where's my personal line that I will not cross? We all have different places where that line is drawn, and usually we don't actually discover it until we're there, and that's how we know who we are."
Tickets are available online at www.niu.edu/theatre or by contacting the School of Theatre and Dance box office, open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and noon to 2 p.m. Friday.

The Sinner's Garden
02.10.14 | |
A novel by William Sirls
The Sinner's Garden begins with a prologue which introduces the main characters of the story, each facing difficult times. When the actual story begins, it is years later. Uncle Rip has just been released from prison, where he served time for drug dealing. In actuality, all the characters are imprisoned, by their memories and the consequences of that earlier day. Judi, Rip's sister, is raising her son Andy, who hides away from life because of the scars on his face; Heather, police officer and formerly Rip's girlfriend, is trying to live up to her father's reputation, but she's afraid to fire a gun. When the beautiful gardens suddenly appear, the group questions why. And another mystery is affecting life in their small town – a burglar is breaking into homes and leaving cash behind. Heather's boss insists she must catch this burglar but no one wants to tell what they know.
While the gardens are a little surreal, the lives of the four people in the story are not. The gardens seem to be a sign from God, and one by one, each of the people involved find healing as Truth shines its light in their lives.
I'm not usually a fan of the "fantasy fiction" genre, but I did enjoy and could relate to the message of this book. Author Sirls has used fictional characters to realistically describe how sin and lies impact each of us and how God brings healing. And the mysterious burglar? That one's identity kept me guessing till the end!
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my fair and honest review.

Area Rugs: Machine Made RugsThe machine-made rug industry in the United States began in 1791 when William Sprague started the first woven rug mill in Philadelphia. Others opened during the early 1800s in New England. Included in that area was Beattie Manufacturing Company in Little Falls, New Jersey, a company that operated until 1979.
In 1839, Erastus Bigelow permanently reshaped the industry with the invention of the power loom for weaving rugs. Bigelow's loom, which doubled rug production the first year after its creation and tripled it by 1850, is now part of the Smithsonian Institution's collections. He continued to devote his life to innovation -- 35 separate patents were issued to him between 1839 and 1876. Bigelow introduced the first broadloom carpet in 1877.
Industrialist / retailer Marshall Field had a traditional Axminster weaving loom modified to create what no one else had ever created -- a machine-made rug woven through the back, just like a handmade Oriental, featuring intricate designs and virtually unlimited color variety. Karastan's rug mill was established in 1926, and introduced the first Karastan rugs to the public in 1928.
There are many manufacturers today producing both simulations of antique designs and updated "oriental" type rugs by both weaving and tufting processes.

The High-Tech Effect
Hotels using technology in new ways are driving customer loyalty. Here's how some are doing it.
Friday, November 09, 2012
bookmark this
We are on Twitter
The hotel industry has never been known to be tech leaders, but more and more executives are trying to meet than exceed customer tech demands. They realize technology is quickly becoming the point of entry to appeal to guests. But fortunately some hotels are taking the technological leap even further by offering programs and services enabled by technology they hope will differentiate their hotels form the competition.
It's technological warfare of the hospitality kind and it's playing out in hotels all across the country.
Take the Chancellor Hotel on Union Square in San Francisco, for example. Their team developed its own app two years ago enabling guests to stay connected with the hotel before, during, and after their visit.
"The app gives guests that freedom to calculate their stays," says Nathaniel Ramos, director of sales and marketing at the Chancellor, a 137-room boutique property. "Business travelers' schedules are very sporadic, and they can request an early check in before they arrive if they have to go to a meeting right away. We make it as easy as possible for them. They can call and request a late checkout. We're streamlining checking in and checking out so guests can get in and out with the least possible speed bumps."
Independent hotels, hotel groups, and a variety of brands have identified that they need to anticipate guests' preferences in the technology area just as they do for other services. Technology today means Wi-Fi enabled guest rooms as well as plenty of bandwidth so guests can download videos, social media and music as well as access e-mail and attachments. And the problem is compounded because these days multiple guests per room are looking to stay connected.
Starwood's Chief Brand Officer Phil McAveety says understanding the way people work today plays a role in creating public space. "People want to be alone together," he says.
"We had to rethink our public space, and create the Link at Sheraton. It's our take on the internet café."
Three and a half to four years ago, Starwood rolled at the Link at Sheraton based on research about what guests want. "Fifty percent of all guests spend time at the Link, more than at the gym or in the restaurant. When they are traveling they feel 'I am getting a sense of the place. I am getting a sense of the people.'
People are working on weekends, working on the beaches," he says. People want to work in public spaces. "So you have to have Wi-Fi in public spaces. Look around you. This is how people are working. Work, charge, connect. Creating the access ports. You've got to do that."
Aloft hotels, another Starwood Brand, announced in September that it has added software called ICE, Interactive Consumer Experience, tailored for hotel apps, in some hotel lobbies, and plans to roll it out in the entire Aloft group.
"It's an iPad mounted on a stand attached to the table or desk" in the lobby," says Phil Schwartz, chief marketing officer of the Intelity Corporation, which created ICE.
Aloft Tallahassee Downtown, for example, features ICE Lobby software in its lobby, providing guests with digital information about the hotel and the surrounding area.
It allows them to look up flight information and print boarding passes, and to arrange for taxi and other services such as maps, directions, and local attractions, restaurants, clubs, and museums.
Tristan Dowell, director, brands, Park Hyatt & Andaz at Hyatt Corp., notes that because technology changes so quickly, technology has to be used to achieve goals.
"Technology runs at a rocket pace," he says. "It's not always the right thing for delivering to a customer. I never would say technology is the key. It's a tool to deliver service. Not technology for technology's sake," he says. "We're looking at all the technology that can enhance an experience."
The key is to differentiate a brand, "to stay ahead of the curve with customer service, to have the service element that was different," he says. "Creating customer experience is first."
Andaz, a lifestyle boutique brand launched at the end of 2007 in London, features complimentary internet access in the room, free mini bar and juices and free local calls, says Dowell.
The focus at the Andaz brand is to "remove the traditional barriers so customers can engage better with hosts, and deliver a much more personal interactive service," says Dowell. For example, at Andaz at 41st Street in Manhattan a host greets guests who check in via a handheld PC while having wine or coffee in the lounge.
Andaz has six hotels, and expects to expand to nine by the end of the year, says Dowell.
Other hotels are making technology available to guests in a different form:
Guests who check into Trump SoHo can rent a limited number of Kindle Touch e-readers pre-loaded with particular magazines and books.
As Wi-Fi continues to be one of the key tech items travelers want, some hotels are offering it as a free perk. An example is the 221-room Hampton Inn & Suites Miami
One Fine Stay gives each guest an iPhone for the duration of their stay to make free local calls. In addition, the phone is pre-loaded with One Fine Stay's app that gives information about exploring the surrounding area. The app also can be used as a hotel phone so that guests can call housekeeping or other services with the touch of a button.

Yuck! Survey Reveals Gas Pump Handles Among Dirtiest Surfaces in America
Next time you pump your own gas, you might just want to wear gloves. According to a report released by Kimberly Clark Professional, gas pump handles rank as one of the dirtiest surfaces that Americans touch on a regular basis. Yuck.

I love Mel Gibson. First, he decides to kill Christ. Then he tells Hollywood they are all a bunch of Jews responsible for wars. Now, he wants his ex baby mama to get gangbanged by the Ghana Soccer team.
His ex, Oksana Grigorieva, is being a real classy lady and releasing the audio of his racist rampage for everyone to hear in all of its honest glory.
He goes on by insisting that he has "been so nice" and that she is a real "cunt." He then goes for the home run with "I will come to burn down the house but you will blow me first!" This is my kind of guy! Supposedly, in the audio you can hear the little brat, who is the cause of all this drama, screaming in the background. I actually was secretly hoping to hear Mel yell at the baby too and call it an unfaithful mix-breed.
Where does Mel go from here? As far as I'm concerned- the sky is the limit! He clearly has no intentions of being a movie star, or for that matter, giving his old friend Danny Glover a ride to the airport anytime soon.
Hopefully, the audio will be available on iTunes and I can turn this gem into my new ringtone by the end of the weekend.

It's time to show off your garden filled with American Meadows products!
Show meShowing plants & seeds that grow in my area:
Canna lilies are wonderful in the garden. Growing fast, the full size selections quickly form a handsome large-leaved screen or an island of tropical-looking foliage from about 3 to 4 feet tall. Then the show begins, and goes on for weeks and weeks. Huge, iris-like flowers begin to open, and before you know it, your canna lily plants have become the undisputed center of attention in your entire yard. They're really this spectacular, and a snap to grow. They're wetland plants, and can grow in moist ground. Constant wetness isn't necessary, but water them often. Cannas are used as municipal plantings in many places like Miami. They are so good at taking care of themselves, they add great stripes of color in median strips, parks, and other places. So pick out a sunny spot in your garden or yard, and add cannas for the big show this summer.
Our good friend, Jack Scheper, the plant expert who runs Floridata.com, tells us that cannas are native to Central and South America, and many of the current hybrids also have a North American species as a parent. Jack grows cannas, and is a big enthusiast. As he says, the foliage "looks like a small banana tree without the trunk."

- More about Le Creuset
The first Le Creuset foundry opened in 1925 in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France, and specialized in cast-iron cookware. The cast-iron pieces are still made at the original factory, using the traditional techniques of hand forging and casting in individual sand molds. The brightly pigmented porcelain-enamel glaze that first set Le Creuset cookware apart from other cast-iron cookware now comes in a wide range of traditional and contemporary colors. In 2013, Le Creuset began producing innovative stainless-steel cookware in Portugal with lids that incorporate the same signature three-ring design as the company's classic cast-iron pieces. This stainless-steel collection was awarded the prestigious 2014 Red Dot Award for product design.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LeeLee from I love this casserole! I received the rose colored casserole along with the smaller square one from a bridal shower gift off my registry and I am so happy! I used it for the first time to make baked ziti and it wasn't too heavy, cooked evenly, and looked fantastic when I used it to serve on the table. Such a wonderful multi- purpose piece. I don't have to dirty more dishes to serve. I do recommend it and hope you'd be as happy as I am using it!Date published: 2018-10-05Rated 1 out of 5 by Annap1986 from It cracked in the oven!

It wobbles at even the slightest movement like a table with uneven legs. This is both disconcerting from a quality standpoint and very loud.

Using it is a magnificent experience for it cooks beautifully...and the presentation is great too because with this handsome piece of cookware you do not need a serving dish.

Mass. fire station evacuated after gas meter leak
February 20, 2013
WESTON, Mass. (AP) — A gas leak caused by ice falling off a roof has led to the evacuation of a Massachusetts fire station.
Firefighters in Weston say snow and ice slid off the station's roof and broke a gas meter outside Tuesday night.
Capt. Stephen Carter says the two firefighters at the station smelled gas and opened the windows and doors for ventilation and called utility crews. He says the building was evacuated as a precaution and no one was hurt.
The fire station isn't the town's main one and usually is staffed by two firefighters and one engine. There has been no report of emergency operations being affected by the gas leak.
Firefighters say utility crews are working to fix the broken gas meter.

The National Corn Growers Association expressed concern about the impacts on farmers of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's newly released and long-awaited endangerment finding on greenhouse gas emissions in relation to climate change.
"The release of EPA's findings is a significant development of the agency's move forward in its effort to regulate greenhouse gas emissions," NCGA President Darrin Ihnen said. "NCGA continues to have serious concerns with using the Clean Air Act to regulate GHG's and the implications this could have for America's corn farmers."
The agency's final determination comes in response to a 2007 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that ordered the agency to reconsider whether greenhouse gases are pollutants subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act. However, the court stated EPA must determine if these pollutants would threaten public health and welfare before being allowed to regulate. The six greenhouse gases subject to regulation are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride.
"The livestock industry is also particularly concerned with certain production facilities that will fall within regulatory parameters," Ihnen said. "The intended purpose of the Clean Air Act was never to regulate every farm in America as part of the overall effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions."
The finding is not expected to include any proposed regulations, but will pave the way for several pending EPA rules.

Practically Indestructible
I bought several of these rods to use as "loaners" for a college fishing club. These rods are a bit heavier than I would typically use, but to hand to students with little saltwater fishing experience, they're perfect. These rods can handle just about any fish that one might encounter under normal circumstances. The quality and appearance of these rods is very nice.

If you can sacrifice a little on the glitz of a rod wrap, this is the rod for you!! It performs well on hooked fish and is rugged, yet light. It is a perfect match to the Penn Fathom reels.

I'm more than pleased with the Rampage rod, it's of very sturdy construction and offers ample backbone for digging grouper and enough movement to move snapper around without feeling like a broomstick. I was debating between this and the Carnage, decided to save a little cash for bait and beer. I'm glad I did, again I'm very satisfied with this model (7'6")

The last person wanted in connection with a reported Marion County prescription pill trafficking ring was arrested last week as she tried to hide in the bathroom of an adult store in Ocala.
The last person wanted in connection with a reported Marion County prescription pill trafficking ring was arrested last week as she tried to hide in the bathroom of an adult store in Ocala.
Denise Diane Trzeciak, 46, had eluded capture since local and state law enforcement initially rounded up 35 of the 43 people wanted in connection with the pill ring last March. In the weeks and months that followed, all but Trzeciak were caught.
On April 4, Marion County sheriff's detectives received information Trzeciak would be at the Sweet Seductions adult store at 2033 N. U.S. 441. They spotted her in the store and as officers approached, she ducked into a bathroom, but was soon arrested.
Officers found 91 pills of the sedative chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride and 78 pills of the diet drug phentermine hydrochloride inside a duffel bag, which also contained clothing, personal hygiene items and Trzeciak's identification. She did not have a prescription for either drug, according to sheriff's reports.
The 11-month investigation was dubbed Operation Blue Forest because the ring was based in the Ocala National Forest area and the popular prescription painkiller oxycodone, often sold illegally, is blue.
The operation was conducted by the Unified Drug Enforcement Strike Team and the Multi-Agency Drug Enforcement Team, along with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Marion County sheriff's deputies and Ocala Police Department officers participated in the operation.
The accused ringleader of the group, Eugene "Bubba" Ryals, 54, was arrested in the initial sweep and is awaiting trial on a slew of drug-related and racketeering charges. He remains in the Marion County Jail, where he is being held without bond.
Trzeciak was booked at the jail on warrants for trafficking hydrocodone and also possession of clonazepam, alprazolam, suboxone, oxycodone and drug paraphernalia. She additionally was charged with two counts of possession of drugs without a prescription.
She was being held at the jail Monday afternoon in lieu of a $105,000 bond.

Ellis leads Dodgers past Padres
San Diego, CA – A.J. Ellis hit a two-run homer and Chad Billingsley made a successful return to the mound, as the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the San Diego Padres, 4-3, to take the middle test of a three-game series at Petco Park.
Billingsley (1-0) made his first start since Aug. 24 of last season, when he suffered a partially torn ligament in his elbow. An index finger injury in spring training put him on the disabled list to start the 2013 campaign, but the right-hander tossed an effective six innings of one-run ball, allowing just five hits.
"It definitely felt great to be back out there," said Billingsley. "(Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford) gets us a one-run lead and gave me a little cushion early."
Crawford went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a triple, while Mark Ellis, Matt Kemp, Luis Cruz and Justin Sellers each had two hits for the Dodgers. Brandon League worked around a shaky ninth inning to pick up his third save.
The Padres, who broke out of their scoring slump with a 9-3 win in the series opener, struggled offensively all game until plating two runs in the ninth. Chris Denorfia went 2-for-5 with an RBI and Will Venable drove in a run in the setback.
Former Dodger Eric Stultz (1-1) was charged with the loss. He gave up four runs on eight hits in five innings.
"It's still early, but you don't like to see this," Padres manager Bud Black said. "We're going to keep an eye on this. We need to get some length out of our starters."
League gave up a double to Nick Hundley and then after recording the second out, allowed Everth Cabrera to reach with a base hit. Venable then made it 4-2 with a single and Ellis' passed ball brought Cabrera home, but League got Yonder Alonso to fly out to end the game.
Crawford quickly provided Billingsley with some support by launching a solo homer into left to start the game. An inning later, Ellis increased the cushion to 3-0 with a a two-run blast.
Billingsley had little trouble getting through the first three innings, but a leadoff walk to Venable in the fourth came back to bite him.
Denorfia sprayed a double into the right-center field gap, and Venable came all the way around to score to get the Padres on the board. Jedd Gyorko, though, hit into a double-play two batters later and Alexi Amarista flied out to end the inning.
The Dodgers restored their three-run edge in the fifth when Crawford hit a one-out triple and scored on a base hit up the middle from Mark Ellis.
After Billingsley was taken out after six innings, Ronald Belisario and Kenley Jansen each tossed a scoreless inning of work.
Game Notes
The Dodgers were 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position, while the Padres finished 2-for-11 ... Los Angeles will send Zack Greinke to the hill to face San Diego's Jason Marquis in the rubber match on Thursday.

ATHENS, Ga. -- It won't take long for the Tennessee Tech
football team to get its minds back on playing for an Ohio Valley
Conference championship.
The Golden Eagles headed home from Georgia's Sanford Stadium Saturday on the short end of a 38-0 loss to the Bulldogs, and coach Watson Brown's team will quickly turn its attention toward the final two contests of the regular season and the chance to be a major factor in the OVC race.
Tech plays at Jacksonville State next Saturday, then wrap up the schedule by hosting Murray State on Saturday, Nov. 21. Despite the loss, Tech returns to Cookeville with a 5-4 overall record including a 4-2 mark in conference play.
"We played hard," said Brown. "I couldn't pick out anything that I would call positive, honestly, other than the fact that we were classy, we hung in there and we played as hard as we could play. That's a winning bunch.
"We're still in the conference race, we're going home in second place in the OVC with a chance to still win or tie for the championship," Brown said.
"We've got to get our heads up and have some competitiveness about us when we go play a tough Jacksonville State team next week. They're a very good team," Brown added.
Tech's offense never got moving Saturday against the bigger, stronger Bulldogs. Sacked six times for a total of 51 yards, the Golden Eagles finished the game with negative yards on the ground. Tech lost 13 yards in the rushing game overall, and had 55 yards in total offense after Lee Sweeney and Tre Lamb combined to go 11-for-16 for 68 passing yards.
Sweeney compared Georgia's defensive players to Tech's quickest.
"That was by far the best defensive team I've faced since I've been here," Sweeney said. "I'd say their defensive line could be out there running with Henry (Sailes) right now, speed-wise. You just have to try to take the positives away from this game and try to get that OVC championship."
It was the first time Tech has been shut out in Brown's three seasons as head coach, and the first blanking since falling 44-0 at Middle Tennessee in 2006.
"It was awesome to get a shutout," said Georgia coach Mark Richt. "It doesn't matter who you play. It's fantastic for a program. I am really happy for our players and coaches."
Georgia rushed for 304 yards and finished with 469 yards of total offense. The FBS Bulldogs improved to 5-4 overall and are within one win of becoming bowl eligible.
"We played a lot of guys today," Richt said. "It's wonderful to give those guys the opportunity to play. They work so hard, too. I was also proud that we got ourselves into position where guys could go in and have a chance. It added to the excitement of the game.
Washaun Ealey led a balanced Bulldogs ground attack, rushing for 89 yards and two touchdowns on just seven carries. He got the scoring started with a seven yard TD midway in the first quarter after the Bulldogs converted a couple of third down plays and finished off a nine-play, 69-yard touchdown drive. Ealey added a 44-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter that pushed Georgia's lead to 28-0 as the Bulldogs reached the end zone on their first four possessions.
Orson Charles grabbed a 23-yard TD pass from Joe Cox with five minutes left in the first half and Branden Smith broke away for a 52-yard touchdown run two minutes later to make it 21-0.
After Ealey's second TD run, the Golden Eagle defense stopped Georgia midway in the second quarter, forcing a 24-yard field goal from Blair Walsh for a 31-0 halftime lead.
Georgia scored on its first possession of the second half, putting together a seven-play, 67-yard drive before Cox hit Michael Moore for a six-yard TD to make it 38-0.
Cox finished the game 10-for-13 for 140 yards and two touchdowns, suffering one interception when Golden Eagle freshman Marty Jones picked off his second ball of the year in the end zone with 1:21 remaining the second quarter.
Jones led Tech's defense with nine total tackles, including six solo stops. Sophomores Jake McIntosh and Howard Griffin had seven tackles each, while Kelechi Ordu made six tackles.
Tremaine Hudson, who topped Tech's rushing game with 20 yards on 10 carries, said the team will remember this experience and get focused on next week.
"There is a big difference between FBS and FCS, especially in the offensive and defensive lines with the speed and size of the guys they've got at those positions," Hudson said. "But sometimes you just have to go play football and try to get better each game.
"We don't look on today as a bad game, we just have to go and try to get better each week. We have to go and try and catch Jacksonville and hopefully try to fight for an OVC championship," he said.
Junior offensive tackle Andrew Higgins had similar thoughts about the game at Georgia.
"It was a good opportunity for us to see where we match up," Higgins said. "It was a good experience. You just have to look at the positives."
"I thought our kids played hard, but it was total dominance," said Brown. "We played hard and didn't quit at the end and we got to play a bunch of people. These kids will never forget this. To get to come to a traditional place like this, if we get out of it alive I think we gain something. We gain confidence.
"Next week you can say 'I've played against a better guy than that, and I've played in a harsher atmosphere.' Even though it doesn't look it to everybody, you get something out of this game," Brown said.
Georgia stopped Tech on the opening possession, then marched 69 yards in nine plays for a 7-0 lead with 8:15 remaining in the first quarter. Washaun Ealey ran the final seven yards for the touchdown. The Tech defense forced the Bulldogs to convert twice on third down in the drive.
After halting the Golden Eagles on three downs, Georgia made it 14-0 as tight end Orson Charles grabbed a 23-yard touchdown pass over the middle from Joe Cox with 4:58 remaining. The drive covered 47 yards in three plays.
Branden Smith broke free around right end for a 52-yard touchdown run with 3:01 remaining, the play coming on the first snap of the possession. That made it 21-0.
Georgia built its 21-0 lead as the UGA defense held Tech without a first down in the first quarter, and sacked Lee Sweeney twice for 22 yards in losses.
Georgia added another long touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter, a 44-yard explosion by Ealey, to make it 28-0.
Following a six-yard TTU punt that sliced out of bounds, the UGA offense moved from the 46 to inside the Tech 10. However, Tech's defense held and forced a field goal by Blair Walsh to make it 31-0.
With 1:21 to play before halftime, freshman Marty Jones nabbed his second interception of the season, the pick coming in the end zone. It was Tech's 14th interception of the year.
The 'Dogs were playing to keeps late in the half, following the interception. Georgia utilized two of its timeouts hoping to hold Tech, force another punt and give the UGA offense another chance before the intermission. However, on third-and-13, Henry Sailes took a short pass from Sweeney and rambled for 13 yards and a first down.
The Golden Eagles headed to the dressing room at halftime trailing 31-0. Tech had 10 yards of total offense on 27 plays in the first half while UGA had 282 on 26 plays. Sweeney was 8-for-9 for 31 yards, but was sacked four times.
Georgia drove 67 yards in seven plays to score and make it 38-0 early in the second half. Cox passed six yards over the middle to Michael Moore for the score.
Redshirt freshman Tre Lamb, who comes from nearby Calhoun, Ga., took over at quarterback in the second half and got the offense moving with an eight-yard completion to Colin Allen for a first down. The drive suffered a penalty, however, and stalled.
After beginning the game 10-for-10, UGA quarterback Cox had his first incomplete pass as freshman Marcus Edwards put on a strong rush and nearly got a sack. The pass downfield was nearly intercepted by Taron Ryce.
Richmond Tooley broke up a pass attempt on second down and the Golden Eagle defensive line messed up a screen pass attempt, forcing Georgia to punt for the first time. Drew Butler got off a 47-yard kick that UGA downed at the Tech seven.
Lamb completed a 19-yard pass to Benford for a first down at the 47 on the first play of the fourth quarter and the Golden Eagles looked to threaten. However, a quarterback sack and a penalty put Tech in the hole, and a 10-yard completion to Benford on third-and-22 was not enough. Nick Campbell unloaded a 50-yard punt to the UGA five.
Tech's defense stopped the Bulldogs and forced a punt, which was downed at the Golden Eagle five.
Cass Barnes took over at quarterback and got a nice gain on first down, but a holding penalty brought the ball back and Tech stalled.
Once again, the Golden Eagle defense stopped the Bulldogs and Tech took over on downs at the TTU 23 with 22 seconds remaining.

Watch Episodes
Kricuphix, I must have missed it. Good episode.
omfg....what the eff is wrong with people?! What has to happen to a man for him to WANT to have his dick cut off?! But then to go even further in to the sickness of mutilation and mental illness by wanting to EAT IT!??!?!?!? WHAT....THE...FFFFFUUUUUUU.............. I'm in shock! I love how much more direct this show is this season, but this one episode....Wow. I bet there's people like that out there! Can you imagine?! Getting married to and building a life with a man who wants to cut his own dick off and eat it!?!? And really? Cannibalism with consent isn't illegal?! "That CAN'T be real," I thought, so I looked it up. According the Cornell Law's website, it IS in fact legal to consume the flesh of another person, provided it is with consent and that the other person does not dies as a result. WHAT WORLD ARE WE FREAKING LIVING IN?!?!?!? Am I in Hell and just don't know it?!? I'm on, like, full scale panic now! What if my neighbor wants to eat me? What if I go to the grocery store and get kidnapped, held hostage, tortured in to giving consent and then some f*cked up freakshow decides to keep me for weeks or even MONTHS, slowly slicing off and eating pieces of me sauteed in a nice garlic, butter, and white wine reduction?!?!? Or in a souffle?! Or a stew! Or Leg-of-ME, barbecued! Omg...I'm just picturing all the ways I could be cooked. Wtf. I'm never sleeping or leaving my house again. *double checks every single lock on every door and window in my whole house and dumps the whole seasoning rack* lol jk
I dunno who keeps low-rating this show, but you obviously haven't watched it. This show is WAY better than the extremely poor ratings you are giving it. I think maybe you haven't read enough about the show prior to watching it. Look the show up and read what it is about and not in the super short description given here; I mean an actual news article about the show. Read that before watching and rating, otherwise your rating is ill-informed.

How do you know which links are bymatrillnear and haiShi5ie please roguexx
I usually look for HaiShi5ei's 720p (or 1080p) Openload link first. The source is USUALLY good, though the link is often slow. But robots don't read posts, and that's why (like Titans 106) Origin 109 STILL has the same bad source linked over and over by the 'bots. Thanks to @PonderThis for http://srstop.online/index.php, where I found a good link for an Openload 720p.

I can't find any link and just wasted my time, since Tonia1 stopped posting a while ago--a sure sign that there are NO OTHER LINKS to this episode anywhere. If the sound was messed up, a corrected source could take a while. Here and now only the HaiShi5ei and matrilinear robots are re-re-...posting what looks to be a pirated Arabic source. Jason Todd will just have to wait...

so far they could easily rename this "Raven's story - with a side of Star Fire for kicks."
Sei, try this website. I've had rather good luck with it when links aren't working right or the whole show was recorded. http://srstop.online/index.php
Caan we please have a 480p, 720p or 1080p link?
Can we please have a good HD version please? Instead of posting the same shitty link over and over. Thanks
The same happened to one of the previous episodes (second I think) of Legacies. Still don't know what happened, because I can't find a recording with an entire episode, because every link is the same fucking recording, occasionaly with subtitles that start to live their own lives 5 minutes into an episode. XD I know, we should be grateful anything is posted at all, but this quality makes it really not worth watching at all.
Could someone post a link with the remaining 4 to 8 minutes of the episode? 2 minutes of ads that weren't cut out - ok, but at least you could post a video that doesn't have an entire final segment of an episode cut out. What is it with these shitty links these last few days?

Writing Outstanding College Term Papers
You will run across school scholars all around school precisely who accept without the help of online administrations like school time period structures they won't understand triumph. Then again such understudy requirement to discover one matter; that each that you might as well emerge on paper is really information, prepare plus braveness. Utilizing these some qualities individuals stay a remarkable chance to emerge as a major aspect of your forming.
Composing school time period structures is simply not brisk. Then again you'll discover person precisely who perform to some degree well all around these structures. What precisely is the key so as to victory? Indeed as attempt to investigate the reason in their prosperity we should take a gander at these two analogies. A capable sky jumper can venture out of airplane entryway in a few 500 ft from your floor without mistrust. A radiant speaker could stay in front of group of onlookers in abundance of a thousand people and give a presentation without jumping.
The vast majority of these people began the outing with a specific end goal to triumph from your particular focus. An extremely significant variable them to very nearly all were obliged to perform is really vanquish the reasons for alarm. Questions since it is really could in some cases perhaps be sensible or even nonsensical. Then again restlessness is generally private in addition to true. To get an understudy to set aside a few minutes period structures climate impervious to begin with finish dreading the educational time period report subjects them to discover. with http://www.essaypenguins.com/ you would get best work.
The majority of us strain something. Regardless of what age aggregation or even rank there is continually something which the vast majority of us stress. We then again need to focus methods to thrashing our feelings of trepidation. People does not likewise have so as to hinge on school time period structures available to be purchased relating to them so as to handle time period report forming all around school.
With the scholar to annihilation tension he or she have to essential stand up to that. Savants can update you which the best approach to adapt to tension is really by means of a mix of procedure as well as braveness. Obviously, just a couple of school learners precisely who create time period structures acknowledge triumph. Numerous individuals acknowledge victory through procedure plus buckling down.
It's additionally brilliant to associate without anyone else's input together with helpful web authors. You've run into school learners who have at this point outperformed inside the making you are terrified out of performing. Attempt and study from such school learners plus perform what they have performed. Acknowledge that ones braveness can extend together with activity. Much the same as uneasiness is frequently beaten, it could both similarly conceivably be unlearned. It's likewise helpful to know of which in a few methods strain for the most part is a help with a specific end goal to fineness. It could be strain of which enacts braveness and definately will push scholars to work hard all around his or her time period report forming.
Borax in Skincare Products
Occasionally perhaps even purely natural ingredients could very well be possibly damaging if made use of in foods as well as cosmetic products. Merely because something is actually all-natural, it does not always follow that it must be also harmless. Some skincare suppliers label their goods as being 'all-natural,' assuming that this makes the products more pleasing to clients. And this might certainly be the case, so long as those natural ingredients are additionally shown to be safe for use. One compound which is actually a naturally occurring mineral yet has raised issues relating to its safety is borax.
Borax - sodium borate - is actually a mineral which forms through the water loss round the banks of salt wetlands, and there also are borax mines within The state of california. Borax contains boron, which is essential for bone strengthening, plus immunity mechanism and neurological wellness, and that leads a lot of people to consider borax is suitable for human use, though the simple truth is, borax is banned as a foodstuffs additive by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and it also is included in the European Chemical Agency's listing of 'Substances of very high concern.'
Borax can be used for an emulsifier within complexion lotions. It allows the oil and also water content of the goods to blend with each other, plus facilitates even distributing across the epidermis. Even though it is not necessarily easily assimilated into your skin, it may possibly find the route through the skin layers when there are skin wounds or broken skin. In a number of nations, its use within cosmetic products plus skincare merchandise is actually significantly limited.
The truth is, borax is only safe in minimal amounts. It may cause itchiness on the skin and also eyes, and whenever it is breathed in, it will also inflame the actual lungs. When borax is taken in orally, it may cause digestion issues which include vomiting and nausea. Canadian in addition to European study on creatures also would seem to signal that borax may be hazardous towards the reproductive organs together with other internal organs, even if the compound isn't viewed as bio-accumulative. Which means that, as opposed to some other possibly damaging chemicals, borax is not going to build-up inside the blood stream as time passes.
A rather worrying thing is that presently there appear to be significant gaps in the data found on of borax. The chemical is not regarded as carcinogenic, despite the fact that more research is recommended. Borax is commonly employed in various household cleaning merchandise, weed killers, fungicides and also pesticides. it is additionally found in some flea remedies for cats and dogs, but some vets are counseling against the mineral's usage, because it is making dogs sick. Do you actually want this active ingredient in your skin-care products?
Just because an ingredient is actually purely natural, this doesn't ensure that it is safe for use, particularly in the long run, and when you discover a skin care product to suit your skin and attains the results you would like, it's likely that you will make use of the item for an extended time. Each of the components in Naturally Mediterranean's skin care selection are actually accredited as natural and safe to apply. We do not include anything at all which has a query mark over its essential safety, and we can state that there is no borax in any of the company's merchandise.
Try also Hair and Body Oil in the US.

Carolyn Boardman's family life was turned upside down when her then 11 year old son Matthew was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 2 years ago. Like most families, the diagnosis was totally unexpected and she knew nothing about this life changing autoimmune disease, for which there is no prevention and no cure. She was introduced to JDRF during her son's hospital admission and has actively fundraised for them the past 2 years by forming a walk team Matt's Mates. She is also part of the Type One Family Network group of parents, who offer each other support and most importantly support to newly diagnosed families.

Through the organization Mended Little Hearts, Emily now has the chance to give back to the community some of what helped me in those difficult times. Mended Little Hearts is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization providing hope, help and healing to heart patients and their families since 1951. Through its volunteers, the group is able to share experiences, resources, education, and compassion, as members of a nationwide peer-to-peer support network.

The Federal Communications Commission wants to encourage more foreign ownership of television and radio stations.
Currently, there is a 25% cap on a foreign company or individual when it comes to owning a stake in a broadcast property. While the cap is not being loosened per se, the FCC said on Thursday that if an investment exceeded 25%, it could still be approved.
"The ruling potentially removes obstacles to new capital investment, which will support small business, minority, and female broadcast ownership, and spur innovation," the FCC said in announcing that it was clarifying its foreign ownership policy.

The agency said the tweak "does not alter the FCC's obligation to protect the public interest, including national security, localism and media diversity, in case-by-case reviews of each transition."

First of all, thanks for your great publication. I really enjoy your work and look forward to each issue. I also appreciated the coverage of the bike-share program ("Bike-sharing program gaining wheels for those with peddling preferences," Aug. 2, Page 5) and am hoping, in the spirit of true journalistic and community discourse, you will consider printing some of my concerns.
It's my understanding that the La Jolla Visitor's Center is being considered as a place for one of the DecoBike bike rental kiosks. While I really like their overall vision of interconnected bike access across San Diego communities, I feel strongly that the enthusiasm is not being tempered with common sense about having kiosks in La Jolla Village.
Next time you're driving or walking through the Village, notice how cars are parked. Many are high-risk for backing into bikers due to the angle of the parking spot. For parallel parkers, car doors unexpectedly swinging open as people get out are a common cause for serious bike injuries, though, of course, not as tragic as a moving car hitting a biker. Thus, the safest place for bikers on the road is toward the center of the street, but that will slow down already congested traffic. That's why bike lanes are so important. I wish we had them! But, given that we don't, how can we, in good conscience, set our visitors (drivers and bikers) up for a horrible exchange? We want their memories and stories of visits to La Jolla to be good ones — not awful, or even worse, fatal.
I realize I may be in the minority, and have respect for the fact that this may happen regardless. I just think the public isn't getting the full picture from what's been represented in La Jolla Today thus far.
I don't want to be a wet blanket, but don't you think safety should be part of this dialogue?
