May/June 2015 Films at Northwestern
EVANSTON, Ill. --- Block Cinema's continuing spring 2015 film series will screen three early shorts co-directed by and starring iconic American actor, vaudevillian, filmmaker and stunt performer Buster Keaton (1895-1966).
Presented by Northwestern University's Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Keaton's shorts -- "Neighbors," "The 'High Sign'" and "Cops" -- will be screened May 29. The program will conclude Block Cinema's "Buster on the Run" series highlighting the actor's wide range of comedic and dramatic on-screen roles. The Keaton shorts will be screened to live musical accompaniment by digital organist Jay Warren.
Other highlights will include a free May 22 screening of Chicago-based animator, performance artist and experimental filmmaker Chris Sullivan's "Consuming Spirits" (2012), a handmade independent feature animation that will be followed by a Q&A session with Sullivan.
The 11th annual "Rare Baseball Films" program June 5, once again organized by Ohio State University's Dave Filipi, Wexner Center for the Arts director of film/video, will feature archival videos of Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Jackie, Brooks and Frank Robinson.
All of the following Block Cinema events will take place in the James B. Pick and Rosalyn M. Laudati Auditorium at the Block Museum of Art, 40 Arts Circle Drive, on Northwestern's Evanston campus.
• "Buster on the Run," through May 29, is a small selection of Buster Keaton films that feature an assortment of "Busters" on the screen. There is the wealthy Keaton of "The Navigator," fleeing from a marriage proposal gone wrong; the middle-class Keaton running off to college to try and impress a girl; and the working-class Keaton dashing away from both the anarchist gangs and the cops in a selection of shorts.
• Special Programs, through June 5, features an eclectic assortment of one-night screenings, including visits from Chicago-based experimental filmmaker Chris Sullivan and a free screening of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining"; and two annual programs: Sonic Celluloid and Rare Baseball Films.
• Art on Screen, through May 7, Block Cinema's ongoing series of films about art continues with a recent documentary about the renovated Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
• "The Last Supper: Race, Class and Justice on the Screen," May 1-June 4, complements the Block Museum's May 9 through Aug. 9 "The Last Supper: 600 Plates Illustrating Final Meals of U.S. Death Row Inmates," an exhibition by contemporary artist Julie Green, who has painted images of the last meal request of death row inmates onto second-hand ceramic plates. The companion film series asks similar questions about the ambiguity of guilt, the finality of death and the role race and class play in the judicial system. The series includes documentaries on the death penalty in America and fictional films that offer different historical and cultural perspectives on the issue of capital punishment and the complexities of justice in societies struggling with inequality. It also examines how social media shapes the national discussion about race, law and the limits of police power.

Unless otherwise noted, general admission to Block Cinema is $6 for the general public or $4 for Block Museum members, Northwestern faculty, staff and students, students from other schools with valid IDs and individuals 60 and older. Quarterly passes are $20. Tickets are available one hour before show time and space is limited.

• The Last Supper: Race, Class and Justice on Screen series, "Caché" ("Hidden"), 7 p.m. Friday, May 1. (Michael Haneke, 2005, France, Austria, Germany, Italy and United States, 35mm, 117 minutes.) The rash of videos of African-American men dying in police custody has given "Caché," a quiet thriller set in France, new cross-cultural relevance. What does it mean to witness tragedy? What responsibility comes with it? Director Michael Haneke subtly ties those questions into France's complex and suppressed history of violence against Algerians. Well-to-do Georges Laurent (Daniel Auteuil) finds a series of videotapes of the outside of his home in Paris. Quietly ominous, perhaps, the videos break no laws, and a nerve-wracked Laurent sets out to investigate them himself. They lead him back to his childhood, to a boy named Majid whose parents worked for his family, and to the disturbing and terrible ways history disappears and guilt resurfaces.
• Art on Screen series, "The New Rijksmuseum," 7 p.m. Thursday, May 7 (Oeke Hoogendijk, 2008/2013, Netherlands, DCP, 132 minutes.) A national museum usually tells a coherent story: an intertwining history of a nation's art practices and its economic and political power. Director Oeke Hoogendijk captured the fascinating fractures and breaks that occur in such a façade when the renovation of a national museum is fought over for 10 years. Cracks of all kinds appear: painting conservators and curators peer at cracks in a masterpiece by Rembrandt; the museum's director quits; the stereotype of the bicycle-loving Dutch asserts itself as activists for bicycle lanes force changes to the architects' plans; and the building itself is gutted and ripped apart before the camera. The coherent story of the old Rijksmuseum shatters before your eyes. Each little piece sings a tiny, captivating vignette about art, history and the Netherlands, as everyone from curators to construction workers scamper to build the new one. Northwestern University's Claudia Swan, associate professor art history, will make a brief introduction.
• Special Programs series, Sonic Celluloid, 8 p.m. Friday, May 8. Sonic Celluloid is a collaboration between WNUR, Northwestern University's student-run, non-commercial radio station (89.3 FM), and Block Cinema. Now in its 13th year, Sonic Celluloid is a special event that features musicians performing live with their own original compositions or improvised scores to silent and experimental films of their choosing. This year's bands include Eartheater, M. Sage and Nicholas Szcepanik.
• Special Programs series, A&O Films Presents: "The Shining," 7 p.m. Thursday, May 14, FREE (Stanley Kubrick, 1980, United States, 35mm, 144 minutes). Jack Torrance is hired to take care of the Overlook Hotel during a winter offseason. His family in tow, they travel to the isolated hotel. Jack begins to unravel as the hotel's morbid past returns. Kubrick famously departs from the literary source and relies on mood to overwhelm viewers with a sense of dread. "The Shining" stands amongst a distinguished group of auteur driven horror films. One of Kubrick's most often referenced masterpieces, spawning parodies and even an entire film of fan-theories; "The Shining" has made an indelible imprint on popular culture.
• "The Last Supper: Race, Class and Justice on the Screen," series, "The Thin Blue Line," 7 p.m. Friday, May 15 (Errol Morris, 1988, United States, BluRay, 103 minutes.) Randall Dale Adams lived through a nightmare. In 1976, someone shot and killed Dallas police officer Robert Wood. In 1977, a Texas court convicted Adams of the crime and sentenced him to death. The Supreme Court took up his case, and in March 1985, Errol Morris arrived in Texas to work on a documentary about psychiatrist known as Dr. Death for his damning testimony. Adams' case fascinated Morris, who at the time held down a day job as a private detective. Applying those investigative skills, Morris crafted "The Thin Blue Line." The movie stirred an outcry about the case and launched Morris's career. In 1989, the Texas justice system released Adams from prison. Adams died in quiet obscurity in 2010, The New York Times reporting his death some eight months after it had occurred.
• "The Last Supper: Race, Class and Justice on the Screen" series, "The People vs. Paul Crump," 7 p.m. Thursday, May 21 (William Friedkin, 1962, United States, 16mm, 60 minutes.) Before making his splash in Hollywood, 26-year-old Chicago-born director William Friedkin made a short documentary about Paul Crump (at that point the youngest death row inmate in Illinois history) to be shown on television the night of his execution. The film depicted the alleged torture by the police that Crump endured. "The People vs. Paul Crump" was not publicly screened, but Friedkin expeditiously showed it to the Illinois governor who commuted Crump's sentence. The documentary's use of reenactment anticipates Errol Morris's famous use in the similarly themed "The Thin Blue Line" (screening May 15). Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive.
Special Programs series, "Consuming Spirits" by Chris Sullivan, 7 p.m. Friday, May 22, FREE (Chris Sullivan, 2012, United States, 16mm, 136 minutes). Northwestern University's department of art theory and practice will host Chicago-based animator, performance artist and experimental filmmaker Chris Sullivan for a screening of his 2012 film, "Consuming Spirits." The handmade independent feature animation was shot frame-by-frame on 16mm film using paper cutouts, models and tracing paper cell animation. The film chronicles the lives of three characters that live in a rust belt town called Magguson and work at its local newspaper The Daily Suggester. They are: Gentian Violet 42, Victor Blue 38 and Earl Gray 64, who first appear to be acquaintances. But as the film unfolds, we find they have a long diabolical history revolving around social service intervention, foster care, romance and hatred. Each character has family secrets to hide and family secrets to discover. An auto accident one dark and alcohol-filled night causes a crack in the memory vault of these intimate strangers. By film's end all parties walk from the woods, both healed and wounded. Visit https://vimeo.com/16781367. A Q&A with filmmaker Chris Sullivan will follow the screening.
• "The Last Supper: Race, Class and Justice on the Screen" series, "When You CAN'T Shake It Off," 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, FREE. A cell phone camera captures the death of Eric Garner. White men toting assault rifles film confrontations with police officers over their right to openly carry firearms. A video of a cop lip-synching to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" goes viral. This wide-ranging conversation looks at the role and use of social media in creating a national conversation about race, law and the limits of police power. How does civil resistance operate in the Internet era? And how do citizen videos expand our definition of the moving image? Special attention will be paid to performances of resistance (such as "I Am Trayvon" and "Hands Up"), responses to the highly predicable and anticipated arrival of racial violence. Will Schmenner, Block Cinema Interim Curator, will lead a conversation with Harvey Young, Northwestern University associate professor of theatre.
• "The Last Supper: Race, Class and Justice on the Screen" series, "Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ("A Man Escaped"), 7 p.m. Thursday, May 28 (Robert Bresson, 1956, France, 35mm, 99 minutes). Bresson loosely adapted this thriller from the memoirs of André Devigny, a French resistance fighter held in a German prison during World War II. One of the masterpieces of this unrivaled director, Bresson strikingly mixes the tedium of jail with the nail-biting suspense of the preparations for escape. At every turn, this darkly Catholic film wonders aloud whether the dumb luck also needed to attain freedom comes by chance or by the grace of God. This is perhaps the only film about death row that throws away all questions of guilt and asks, what does it mean to be saved from certain death?
• "The Last Supper: Race, Class and Justice on the Screen" series, "The Passion of Joan of Arc," 7 p.m. Thursday, June 4 (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1928, France, 35mm, 82 minutes). On trial for heresy, Joan of Arc's captors use interrogation, torture and death threats to force her to sign a confession. Dreyer's 1928 restaging of the trial of Joan of Arc is famous for its exquisite cinematography, specifically its use of close-ups. It is a testament to the beauty and power of the human face. "The Passion of Joan of Arc," like other films in this series, portrays the suffering and helplessness of victims abused by power. The film itself suffered from cuts by the government and the Archbishop of France. Dreyer's original version was only available in a truncated form until the 1980s when a complete print was discovered. Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive. Live musical accompaniment by David Drazin.
• Buster Keaton series, "Early Keaton Shorts," 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, "Neighbors" (Buster Keaton and Edward F. Cline, 1920, United States, 35mm, 18 minutes); "The High Sign" (Buster Keaton and Edward F. Cline, 1921, United States, 35mm, 21 minutes); and "Cops" (Buster Keaton and Edward F. Cline, 1922, United States, 35mm, 18 minutes). Keaton began his directorial career making two-reel shorts. He filled them to the rafters with chases and gags. These three early shorts find him caught between the devil and the deep blue sea as he pings back and forth between his angry father and his enraged, potential father-in-law in "Neighbors" and runs from anarchist gangs and the police in both "The High Sign" and "Cops." Paradoxically both a star and a working-class performer, Keaton's shorts portray a blue-collar world that puts little trust in liberal reformers, revolutionaries, captains of industry or middle-class managers. The screenings will be introduced by Will Schmenner, the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art's interim film curator. The Keaton shorts will be screened to live musical accompaniment by digital organist Jay Warren. For more, visit: http://www.blockmuseum.northwestern.edu/view/cinema/buster-on-the-run.html - 3.
• Special Programs, "Rare Baseball Films," 7 p.m. Friday, June 5. Organized by Dave Filipi, Wexner Center for the Arts Director of Film/Video, Block Cinema's popular Rare Baseball Films program returns for its 11th year. Before televisions became domestic fixtures, these newsreels allowed fans to watch players from around the country in action -- and now they let viewers relive some of the best moments in the history of the game. Come out and see such greats as Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Jackie, Brooks and Frank Robinson; and baseball played by Little Leaguers, on donkeys, in canoes and more! Special thanks to the UCLA Film & Television Archive for its assistance with this program. Thanks also to Paul Gordon, Library and Archives Canada; the Dawson City Museum and Historical Society Collection; and Bill Morrison. The video screening runs approximately 120 minutes. Dave Filipi, director of film/video at the Wexner Center for the Arts, The Ohio State University, will make the introduction.
The Block Museum's galleries are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday, and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The Block is closed on Monday.

L2TP - set server address
hi all,
my pfsense LAN IP is - 192.168.1.254/24
should i randomly make up a new network for my server address ie 192.168.50.254 or has it got to be in my pfsense network range ie - 192.168.1.250
also what do i make the remote address range
many thanks

VPN server address / subnet usually needs to be outside of LAN or other network you use on your firewall.

This is really all down to you and how you want to structure your network. If you want to keep your server addresses locally, then assign them an address in your local range. If you want to site them remotely, then site them remotely and give them a different class C address. A remote address range can be pretty much anything you like, so long as it's not the same as your local one and you have routing established to transmit traffic between the local and remote sites.
Ah makes sense now, so i set it to my other networks gateway ip address, i have already created a static route for my other network on my pfsense and i kmow it works because i hqve port forwarded smtp to that network to send recieve email
So my other gateway ip is 172.17.1.253
So could my l2tp server address be 172.17.1.1
Alsi my range can it be 172.17.1.2
I will test this out tonight
i attach screenshots to see if im doing anything wrong
i cant connect on my android phone, im typing everything in correctcly but it cant connect
my pfsense ip lan address is 10.10.20.254

Insight 2016 speakers 3/5. In this series of blog posts we will present the speakers of our event Insight 2016 – Inspiration from students to students. More information on event page and on Facebook.
Johannes Malkamäki is a professional mentalist and magician and knows a thing or two about how the human mind works in certain situations. In his talk at Insight 2016, he explains how to influence and guide people to the direction you want. That might sound like teaching how to manipulate people, but the core message of the talk is simply to help people make a good impression of themselves and make their presence more memorable in all kinds of situations.
Johannes fell for magic in his teen years after seeing a card trick performed. It wasn't long before he was learning to do tricks, mainly with cards. After years of doing classic card tricks, he got increasingly interested in psychology and the human mind, so he started to incorporate psychological dimensions into his magic tricks and performances. That led him to become a mentalist.
Some people argue that there is huge difference in being a magician and a mentalist. For Johannes, that's not a discussion he thinks is important. He incorporates them both in his performances and thinks that it's the entertainment value what really matters.
Today, he performs both by himself and with a crew with other mentalists. Last year his crew Huijarit (Scammers) did a video project where they scammed people. As an example, they managed to get free clothes from stores by pretending to be the head of the company. Ocean's movies were a big inspiration to the crew, including well planned and perfectly executed scams. They wanted to push their limits and see what they able to do. Even though they scammed people, they wanted to do it in good spirit, which they felt they succeeded in since most of the people they scammed reacted positively when finding out they had been scammed. The videos can be seen on the crew's Facebook page and Youtube channel. See also the blog on his page ihmetys.com.
Johannes ended up studying biotechnology at the University of Tampere and is really motivated in his studies. He would like to incorporate his interests in psychology, mentalism and human science in some way in the future. A big dream for him is to work with popularizing science in future. That would involve two things that are important to him: entertainment and science.

Learn the secrets of craft distillery and make your own gin
Have you ever considered making your own gin? Now you can.
Whether you want to discover the secrets of craft-distilling or just an absolute devoted gin fan, you can get some "ginspiration" this festive season at Inverroche Distillery's Gin School.
There's a new style and variety of gin popping up almost every week, so it's not that far fetched that many people would want to get in on the act -- without the headache of quitting their day jobs and starting a craft gin label.
Stoke your curiosity by joining the small-group, interactive classes and learn all about the art of alchemy.
Look the part with your own distillers cap as you take a journey which is part science, part personal creativity as you select and weigh your own combination of botanicals with which to infuse your gin.
It's your hand-crafted gin, so make it according to your palate or take some guidance from your Inverroche host.
Once you've fired-up your small copper pot still, you will record, taste, observe and measure the spirit as the concentrated vapours start to flow from the condenser into your spirit glass.
Put all your senses to the test to differentiate between the heads, hearts and tails.
When the last drop has emerged from your mini-still you will measure your distilled spirit using a hydrometer, break down your gin with purified water, personally bottle the liquid, name your gin and write your own limited edition label.
You will leave with your bottle of gin, distillers cap, two bottles of tonic, a G&T glass, gin booklet and your own recipe card.
But the most precious gift you take home is your new found knowledge and appreciation for small-batch, hand-crafted gin.
The Gin School is held at Inverroche Distillery's Gin Sensorium on Old Riversdale Road in Still Bay, and held from 13 December to 13 January, Monday to Saturday from 16:00 to 18:00.
The school is closed on Sundays and Christmas Day and booking is essential.
Cost is R450 per person and open to those over the age of 18.

As a born and raised California girl, I actually crave snow this time of year. Snow is something you drive to see here. You ski on it, make a few snow angels, toss a couple of snowballs and go home. Most of us dream of a White Christmas but don't live one. So when the holidays roll around I'm always drawn to those snowy Norman Rockwell type holiday scenes. This week I found lots of pretty snow to visit from my fellow bloggers. Here's a meow-out to my colder climate friends!
Over on Facebook, @fromthesoil posted some gorgeous pictures he said were of hoar frost. Having no idea what hoar frost is, I had to look it up on Wikipedia. Hoar frost "refers to the white ice crystals, loosely deposited on the ground or exposed objects, that form on cold clear nights when heat losses into the open skies cause objects to become colder than the surrounding air." Sounds really cold and horrible for the plants, but beautiful to look at nonetheless.
@indygardener's post for GBBD was less bloom and more snow. The first photo of the pine with the fluffy coating of snow reminded me of so many holiday cards I had received over the years. Each month Carol hosts a roundup of blogs participating in Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. I love pursuing the links because I can always find a new blog to follow. This month was no exception because I found the delightful Parsley Patch. After viewing the photos of the garden, I'm convinced it's maintained by faeries and elves.
And I don't think things could get more festive than @OurLittleAcre's post on the holiday Christmas walk in a local neighborhood. From the light dusting of snow on the ground to the bold all white tree in a bright green room, I was really put in the mood for Christmas. It's always fun to see how other people define Christmas in their holiday displays. I especially enjoyed getting a peak into Santa's laundry room.
Many other cold climate bloggers have started posting pieces on houseplants, online shopping and amaryllis. Trying to find something to talk about other than what's going on in their yard. I know winters are long for you and you probably get sick of snow after a short while. But for those of us on the left coast, we sort of crave those winter wonderland shots this time of year. So don't hide them behind the ficus trees and African violets. Keep those snowy post coming! At least until the new year. Then we can start talking about the coming spring.

When and where:
Thailand Women will take on Uganda Women in a game played in the ICC Women's World T20 Qualifier tomorrow (July 14) at VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen.
Thailand and Uganda were the best of the rest apart from the top four.
Thailand have shown cases of brilliance from time to time in this tournament, but their Achilles Heel has been their inconsistency. This has been due to inexperience and lack of exposure to international cricket. The team has the potential to do well, but they need to take more risks to garner knowledge of their team and abilities.
A similar story can be said about Uganda. Even though they're not one of the known teams in the tournament, they still managed to win games. The team has performed as a unit from time to time, but their management also has to work on getting more game time for their players in different areas of the world.

China Can't Win
People like this see China's announced carbon intensity target as "unambitious" because the business as usual scenarios from the IEA and US EIA already incorporate all of China's ambitious energy intensity and renewable energy goals. I wouldn't call those scenarios "BAU". Yes, China's carbon intensity target is probably mostly confirming their existing greenhouse policy. But why should China have to bring new measures to the table now when the US and Australia haven't even managed yet to legislate anything serious on greenhouse policy? Should we start calling the US's 17% and Australia's 25% emission reduction proposals BAU?

Digital twins are receiving a lot of attention and it's not surprising. Their applications are quite literally limitless, and the value they deliver for organisations is phenomenal. For any organisation that already uses Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins are the next step in the digital journey.
Here at Altius, we are extremely excited about the advantages that digital twins can create for our clients. We've been building and applying digital twins for over two years and we're now taking the technology way beyond its 'traditional' capabilities and limits.
In my next post, I'll share some of the exciting applications that we're currently working on, to show you what we can achieve when we combine our data science expertise with digital twin technology. Before that, let's look at what digital twins are and where they came from.
What is a digital twin?
Put simply, a digital twin is a virtual model of a physical process, product, service or system. Think of it as a bridge between the physical and digital world. Smart components that use sensors to gather real time data are integrated into the physical environment that is being monitored/analysed/assessed. The components are connected to a cloud-based system that receive and process all the data from the sensors. This pairing of the virtual and physical worlds has been around since 2002 and has traditionally been used to 'simulate' the physical world, allowing it to be analysed and understood in order to gain insights into performance, potential problems and areas of improvement.
The 'traditional' digital twin model has mainly been applied to the manufacturing, automotive and healthcare sectors. In these sectors, the technology is used to simulate processes, refine technology and monitor and predict a patient's well-being, respectively.
Where did the concept come from?
The idea of digital twins is predated by pairing technology first developed by NASA. It was designed to help in the operation, maintenance and repair of space capsules travelling in orbit, and therefore outside the range of physical monitoring. These "twin" systems made it possible for engineers and astronauts to test repairs for the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission, bringing the craft and crew back to earth safely.
The concept and term 'digital twin' really came to mainstream attention after Gartner named it as one of its top 10 strategic technology trends for 2017, stating that within three to five years "billions of things will be represented by digital twins, a dynamic software model of a physical thing or system'. In 2018, Gartner once again named digital twins as a top trend, saying that "with an estimated 21 billion connected sensors and endpoints by 2020, digital twins will exist for billions of things in the near future."
As predicted by Gartner, the proliferation of IoT has made digital twins cost effective to implement and as a result, models have begun to mature and grow in complexity. They've moved from being digital representations of single items to virtual models of systems of interconnected things. More and more businesses are using the technology as an opportunity to orchestrate people, processes and things in a sophisticated way, resulting in better business outcomes and benefits for everyone.
Like everything in the realm of IoT, data is the primary driver and the most invaluable output of digital twins. Given that we at Altius are leaders in the field of data analytics and data science, that has put us in prime position to broaden the scope of what digital twins can achieve for our clients.
We're taking the technology far beyond the traditional realms of remote simulation, analysis and monitoring by integrating artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and new technology to bring data, algorithms and business context together – and the applications and outcomes are limitless.
In part 2, we dive into how we're using digital twin technology in the retail sector.

Meet Jason Jones – Owner
Former Marine Corps Sergeant turned Custom Home Builder, Jason Jones turned his childhood passion for drawing floor plans into the real deal. NoCO Custom Homes was built from scratch using determination, dedication and passion.
Jason and his wife Dani serve as a powerhouse as they build strong relationships with each client helping to bring their dream home to fruition.
Recently, Jason Jones gave us some insight into how their business began:
- What led you to pursue a career in building custom homes?
"I've always had a passion for real estate. When I was a kid, I would draw floor plans for fun and try to understand how 3D spaces could be visualized on a piece of paper. Following my career in the Marine Corps, I dabbled in rental properties, fix-and-flips and remodeling. However, none of those sectors really satisfied my creative desire to create something special. I never really thought of building new homes until I met another builder through a friend of a friend and then it just clicked. I loved reading blueprints, figuring out how the whole project comes together and collaborating with industry professionals to create a shared vision from nothing. I knew almost instantly that this is what I was meant to do."
- What is the single biggest lesson you learned during your time serving in the Marine Corps that helps influence your current career?
"Discipline. The Marine Corps instills discipline in you from day one. Both Dani and I work incredibly hard to get our clients exactly what they want in their home and to make sure they have an awesome build experience. Without discipline in our work habits, we wouldn't be where we are today and certainly wouldn't have built the reputation that we have."
- What is your involvement in the process of building custom homes?
"I'm the first person our clients interact with whether that's a phone call, email, text message or a face-to-face meeting. I help educate and guide our clients from the very beginning all the way through design, build and warranty. I'm the main point of contact and resource to turn to with questions and needs. I am also closely involved with our superintendent on every detail of every job on a daily basis. I'm typically still on each site every day when I'm not in new client meetings or handling other affairs of the business. Our clients get a lot of face time with both Dani and I and that's what makes our business special. We love spending time with our clients to see out their vision of their dream home."
- With each new project that you tackle, where do you turn to for inspiration on the overall design of a new home?
"Dani. She has evolved from a Pediatric Nurse Manager to a Custom Home Builder-Designer seemingly overnight and has done so with such confidence and ease. She makes it look easy but I know that's only because of the endless hours and passion she pours into her work. When she's not in selection meetings with our clients, or at the computer designing each home you can likely find her in the tub scrolling through the latest Pinterest and Instagram photo's for inspiration."
- What is your greatest piece of advice that you would give someone who wants to build a custom home?
"Give yourself enough time to enjoy the process. The minimum amount of time I would recommend for the entire process is ten months – that is if the stars align and everything goes smooth. Twelve months is more realistic. We LOVE it when our clients have even greater than twelve months BUT we are not afraid of a deadline either. With enough time to plan, design and build a home, the process can be a lot of fun. We recently had a set of clients that came back to us after we built their home and told us they loved the process so much that they want to start designing their next house for the vacant lot next door."
Our mission is to help you build YOUR custom dream home. Contact us today to get started!

Fred Thompson reappears launching new public role
"FredHeads" of this website can rejoice as former Republican Presidential candidate Fred Thompson has reemerged in a new public role advocating for Conservative principles. From this day forward, he'll be blogging at Townhall.com giving his folksy opinions on a daily basis.
I know, Conservatives were hoping I'd say as a VP candidate or perhaps, the nuclear option, launching a third-party run. No dice since he's taken a seat on the straight-talk express.
Here's an excerpt from his first entry:
Spending some time on the campaign trail has confirmed a couple of thoughts I've had before I entered the Republican primary race.
First, conservatism is alive and well in America; don't let anyone tell you differently. And by conservatism, I don't mean the warmed-over "raise your hand if you believe …†kind of conservatism we see blooming every election cycle. No, I'm speaking of the conservatism grounded in principles based upon enduring truths: an understanding of the importance of human nature in the affairs of individuals and nations. Respect for the lessons of history, the importance of faith and tradition. The understanding that while man is prone to err, he is capable of great things when not subjugated by a too-powerful government. These are the principles that inspired our Founding Fathers, and resulted in a Constitution that delineated the powers of the central government, established checks and balances among the branches of government and further diffused governmental power by a system of Federalism.
Second, change – whether it "real change,†"bold change†or the "change we can believe in†variety others are selling – isn't itself an innovative policy or a particularly strong leadership stance. In fact, from Burke to Buckley, there has been an acknowledgement that change in the political arena is inevitable and necessary, and we in the U.S. tend to experience it in regular, 2, 4 and 6 year intervals, so 2008 is hardly our first rodeo. The challenge for conservatives is calibrating whether the change being proposed is consistent with our principles and our philosophy, and whether that change is appropriate.
We'll see if his column turns into a pro-McCain outlet or he becomes critical as a conservative opponent.
OK, not exactly newsworthy but it fills space. Plus, I've made it a habit of following up on the former candidates from both sides as they all have a public appeal in some form.

Remembering Jazzman Gerald Wilson | KCET
Remembering Jazzman Gerald Wilson
Bandleader Gerald Wilson used to tell his UCLA class that if he wasn't mentioned in a jazz history book, the book wasn't worth buying. As absurd and supercilious as that statement sounds, he was absolutely right. Wilson passed away earlier this month at the age of 96. He left an unparalleled legacy that stretched back to the 1930s and will likely never be rivaled in terms of influence, endurance, and sheer entertainment.
Wilson's class wasn't just for jazz majors. The attendance typically topped off at 400 and included musicians, football players, chemistry majors and everybody in between. He taught at UCLA for more than fifteen years, regaling thousands of impressionable minds with his first-hand experiences with music legends like Billie Holiday and Dizzy Gillespie before retiring at the age of 90.
Saxophonist and Cal State Fullerton professor Dr. Charles Sharp worked as his teacher's assistant for several years. "Gerald was not teaching those classes for jazz majors. He didn't want to do a seminar for experts," said Sharp. "He wanted everybody together. He enjoyed being an expert and being kind of a spokesperson, a representative of jazz to the broadest possible audience and I think a lot of his music is that way too. His music is incredibly advanced but can also be pop-oriented at the same time."
Wilson got his start as a trumpeter with the Jimmie Lunceford band in 1939. He honed his writing and arranging skills with the group, contributing infectious hits like "Yard Dog Mazurka" to the band's swinging book before setting off on his own. Though born in Shelby, Missisisippi, Wilson settled in Los Angeles in the mid 1940s and became a fixture on the Central Avenue scene.
His arrangements were unique, delving into dense, eight-part harmony that moved like the grasping mitts of a striding pianist, no fingers repeating the same note. He wrote more than a dozen arrangements for Duke Ellington and five times that for Ray Charles including a handful of riotous charts for Charles' landmark 1962 album "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music."
The 1960s were also a successful period for Wilson's solo career. He recorded several albums for the Los Angeles-based Pacific Jazz label and they are master classes in swagger and sophistication, samba and soul. His hit "Viva Tirado" became a frequent high point of his live performances through to last summer. The band El Chicano scored with their version of the tune in 1970 which helped to redefine and boost Wilson's cross-genre appeal.
Wilson's old school desire to entertain never left his side. Mid-tune he would approach the microphone and just scream with his fists raised and his abundant white hair protruding from under his baseball cap. At his best, he had the unhinged passions of an ecstatic wildman, a trait that is so rare but always hoped for from jazz stages.
Aside from the thousands of students he educated, he also employed hundreds of others in his big band over the years. Tenor saxophonist Kamasi Washington had the honor of being both a student and employee. At the age of 19, he joined Wilson's orchestra and immediately found his place as a featured soloist.
"As fiery and intense as he was, he was such a nice person," said Washington. "He always looked out for his band. I've played with so many other people since and they're looking out for themselves. Gerald would always make sure everyone else was cool and that's hard to do with a big band. He cared for people on a deep level."
Three years ago, Wilson was nominated for a Best Large Jazz Ensemble Grammy for his last studio album, "Legacy" (It was his seventh album since turning 80). He kept his big band active with regular appearances around Los Angeles including a spot headlining the Central Avenue Jazz Festival each summer. Last July, in the shadow of the Dunbar Hotel, Wilson led his band through one more romping "Viva Tirado" that was as full of energy as when it was first recorded in the early 60s. The next Central Avenue Jazz Festival will be the twentieth annual. It just won't be the same without him.

2016 Spéciale Dessert Wine Limited Release program.
POSTED April 4th, 2016 | 0 COMMENTS
Ask The Vintner
Can I leave Sulphites out of my wines?
The most common reason given for wanting to leave out sulphites is a worry over allergic reactions. If a true allergy is at issue, leaving out the sulphites will not render the wine sulphite free, as yeast creates sulphites during the fermentation process. If a sulphite sensitivity is the worry, know that the amount of sulphite added to these kits is far less than required for commercial production. Often reactions to drinking wine are due to other causes and not the sulphites. (For a complete discussion of this topic, see our article "Red Wine Headaches - a thing of the past with Home Vintner wine kits.")
What is it about wine, especially red wine, that makes as much as a 1/3 of humanity unable to drink it without getting a headache? Drinking just one glass can trigger immediate discomfort, raise blood pressure, or morph into a days-long migraine. Hennie van Vuuren, director of the Wine Research Centre at the University of British Columbia, is pretty sure he's figured out the problem. He himself suffers from red wine headaches.
Can I bottle my wine with used commercial bottles?
The Home Vintner sells a variety of quality wine bottles. We don't skimp on quality for style, nor do we carry lower quality options. When you are ready to bottle your wine you should be ensuring that you have the best bottles to protect your hobby and investment. We have had a recent surge in problem solving wine faults, and many have led back to bottle quality.
What kind of water should I use?
"Is water a factor in the success of my wine?"
CLEARING - Do I need to use the fining agents?
"Why is it necessary to add the fining agents (package #4) before transferring the wine must off the sediment that has built up in the carboy bottom? Wouldn't it be more efficient for package #4 to be added after the sediment has been removed?"
The longer you make wine kits, the more you're likely to notice that even if you're sure you'll never drink 30 bottles of wine, they will soon vanish anyway. Between doling them out to friends or using them at parties or other special occasions, you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll use up your wine. And sooner than you expect, you'll be dashing out to make another kit because you've run out.
To learn the weight of a wine, look at the alcohol content. Less than about 12% alcohol is light wine territory, 12.5-13.5% means medium-bodied and anything higher is full-bodied. Body in wine refers to its weight in the mouth, and is comparable to milk – light is to skim as whole is to full.When you head to the beach most want light. The lightest wines come from cooler climates or microclimates. Germany, Canada and northern France are usually good places to start when scouting lighter wine kits. And of course, certain grape varieties are naturally leaner than others.
A huge challenge in Calgary is the process of degassing wine after it has been stabilized. We have encouraged our clients to use the Vacuvin system which creates a vacuum in the carboy sucking out the CO2. Exclusive only to The Home Vintner - after years of searching for an automatic system, Paul has found an electric degassing unit. The staff have been busy testing them by degassing their own wine - Ron tested it on the weekend by degassing two wines at the same time. As with our wine filters, these units are available exclusively for our clients. Rental is $5 per 24 hour period.
Selection International French Rosé
Our seasonal release Selection International French Rosé is a crisp, off-dry rosé from Southern France. An extremely food friendly wine, the pairing possibilities run the gamut from light salads to spicy meats from the grill - definitely a wine to keep well-stocked and ready all summer. Serve chilled. Don't miss out on this great rosé, supplies are limited and they won't last long.
A wine or beer kit is a food product and should be treated as such. Would you be comfortable eating a can of peaches that was a couple of years old?
This Californian Cabernet has been my house wine for over 12 years. This is Murray's personal favorite! I will always remember coming into the NW store and watching him kick the box and say "Buy this one". Thanks Murray, you are a great friend, hope you will be able to attend this years Limited wine tasting next week. Rich fruit and complex structure dazzle from first aroma to long, refined finish.
Think about hand crafting an Innis & Gunn, Black Pilsner, Stout, or Belgian Wit to name a few. With the use of our Barons Beer kits, our add-on packs and liquid yeast, you can create any of these great beers. For any of you who were burned on a beer kit in the past, concluded that all beer kits were the same and gave up on home brewing, now is the time to give it another try. You will be impressed, we guarantee it!
Using The Home Vintner Wine Filter
Adding "polish" to a wine's appearance is the number one reason home winemakers elect to filter their wines. It adds a glassy and pure look to the wine that is simply appealing. Filtration will not make a cloudy wine become clear. That is not its purpose.
Ullage is the unfilled space in a wine bottle between the wine and the bottom of the cork. When we recommend 1-1/4 inches ullage for Nomacorcs, this is to provide sufficient space for the cork to compress air ahead of it as it enters the neck of the bottle.

Reid Seaby, Agfarm Regional Manager WA
Crop conditions throughout the state continue to improve despite the colder temperatures experienced this week. The fine weather following last week's rain has provided ideal growing conditions which is benefiting crop development. Crops are now in generally good shape having made up a little ground after the later than ideal start to the season. A large part of the Geraldton zone had between 30-60mm last week which together with the pre-seeding rain should see crops manage comfortably for the remainder of the season without having to rely on huge rainfall events. In contrast, the Esperance and eastern Albany zone had <20mm last week and will remain 'hand to mouth' until they receive a substantial soaking to form a moisture profile, which is effectively non-existent for large areas at this moment. The Kwinana zone is reasonably good and with falls of between 20-30mm last week as far east as Southern Cross, the majority of the zone is on track to achieve above average yields.
Domestic grain markets were generally lower this week with the obvious exception of barley. Malt jumped $10/MT to $320/MT FIS Kwinana and BFED1 was $7/MT higher to end at $288/MT FIS. Most of the attention has turned to new crop wheat but all old season wheat was lower, dropping between $1-6/MT week on week. 2017/18 wheat was also down slightly, falling only $2/MT to $298 FIS. The canola market remains stable for the time being with CAN hovering around the $565/MT FIS level and CAG sitting at a $30-35/MT discount.
Prices as at 12th July

As the New York Times reported, the South African National Olympic Committee called in Semenya for testing. The committee did not tell her what the tests were for, and she did not consent to gender testing; nevertheless, she soon… Read more »
Losing the Game
American professional sports have a tendency to get wrapped up in grand narratives. The N.B.A. star who was homeless in high school but now makes millions on the court. The baseball team that makes an improbable and unprecedented September run. The hat trick. The Cinderella story. The Hail Mary. Professional sports have also created the… Read more »
Domestic Abuse in the NFL
The NFL has been rocked by the recent public outcry against what appears to be a rampant rise in domestic violence cases. The issue came to the forefront public consciousness when Baltimore Ravens running back, Ray Rice, was indicted on charges of aggravated assault against his then-fiancé and now wife, Janay Palmer.

horse hair pottery
In ceramics class, students experimented with horse hair firing. After their pieces were bisqued, we fired them in the test kiln to 1115 degrees. They pulled them out at that temperature and laid down strands of horse hair to create lines, patterns, and carbon flashing. Special thanks to Mrs. Melino's horse, Nickelodeon for his donation!
Centripetal Force
Mount Everett ceramics students demonstrated throwing techniques and explained related concepts in physics to Undermountain sixth graders after an interdisciplinary art/science residency with Jane Burke of Flying Cloud Institute, thanks to a Mass Cultural Council grant.
Foundations students were asked to participate in a community service project this semester. A local organization called "The Berkshire Community Diaper Project" (BCDP) raises funds and collects diaper donations to provide diapers for parents who struggle to afford them for their children. They will be auctioning off painted adirondack chairs to benefit children in our county. Maddie Fife, Tori Gilmore, Lexi Tomascak, Mariah Broderick, Catie Nagy, Emma Stewart, and Elaina Donsbough submitted original sketches to the board of BCDP who chose the final design.

MODENA, ITALY – Japanese teenager Reira Iwabuchi won her second straight women's World Cup big air competition on Saturday, while compatriot Takeru Otsuka topped the podium in the men's event.
The 16-year-old Iwabuchi, who finished fourth in February's Pyeongchang Olympics, earned a two-jump total of 166.50 points in Italy's Modena for her second World Cup victory in as many competitions this season.
Fellow countrywoman Miyabi Onitsuka finished 1.5 points behind for silver, while Pyeongchang gold medalist Anna Gasser of Austria took bronze.
"I'm glad my third and final run went well and contributed to this result. I was able to compete with my motivation high," Iwabuchi said of her jump which featured a clean backside double-cork 1080 mute.
In the men's competition, Otsuka edged American Chris Corning to take his first World Cup gold after finishing with a total of 186.75. Finland's Kalle Jarvilehto finished third, while Japan's Ruki Tobita missed the podium in fourth.
"I'm glad I was able to ride like I always do in front of so many people. I enjoyed it," said the 17-year-old Otsuka, who finished runner-up behind Corning in September's World Cup season opener in Cardrona, New Zealand.

1-day Hands-on
Sydney, AUSTRALIA
From: 8:30 AM Tuesday, 6 November, 2018
Registration opens at 8:00 AM
To: 5:00 PM Tuesday, 6 November, 2018
This event includes information on the following topics:
The intended audience for this event includes:
The secret is in the details: Likelike CAD-CAM restorations with a human touch. Did you know that it is very easy to trick the human brain? If you show enough details, the brain can't realise what is real and what is fake. This is the secret to achieving natural looking restorations.
Course Description
Today CAD-CAM is one of the fastest growing areas in Dentistry. It is important to familiarise yourself with which areas need attention to detail to achieve outstanding restorations.
Software engineers provide amazing tooth libraries and great tools for designing a tooth, but we still need to be aware of what is possible, what is not true to nature, and what adjustments are necessary for a great outcome.
After we finalise the shape and surface morphology, the next step is the art of staining and glazing.
Ivoclar Vivadent have great CAD-CAM Stains and Glazes, but to achieve an outstanding result, it is still challenging if you do not know how to apply the material correctly. With incorrect techniques, you can ruin both your shade and morphology. The final step is manual polishing, since the lustre of natural enamel is delicate, we can only hope to reach similar results with correct manual polishing procedures. On this course, I will share my 20+ years of experience with morphology and ceramic materials.
Learning objectives
- Understanding tooth anatomy
- Choosing the right shape for the patient
- How to create margins for long-term success
- Grinding and polishing IPS e.max and other glass ceramic materials
- Shaping, how to alter a shape to get a different appearance
- Macro and micro morphology - texture and the small details
- Functional anatomy and guidance
- Staining and glazing

By Lura Jackson
The community has come forward in various ways to support the family of 18-year-old Addison Coty, who died recently in a vehicle accident. Bracelets commemorating Addison's life are available from Carson Hold and Matthew Perkins, and Bernie Yost has designed a vehicle decal with blue wings surrounding Addison's name and the years in which he lived, along with the words "Fly High" on them. The decals can be requested from Yost's page, Bernie Makes Decals, or by calling Yost at 992-3600.
"Every penny made from them is going to her," Yost said, referring to Addison's mother, Angela Demmons. "They'll be for sale however long people want to get them for."
Financial donations can be made to the family by going to GoFundMe.com and searching for "Addison Coty's Funeral Cost."

As absurd as it might sound but there's a fat chance one will hear the Belarusian language on the streets of Belarus. Which leads to the question: "Where to listen to Belarusian in Belarus?"
In case you wonder how such a situation has even arisen, BelarusFeed tried to explain all the turbulences that caused it in 'Why Belarusians don't speak Belarusian' piece.
To visit Belarus and won't hear its lively, melodious and beautiful 'mova' will be an impermissible omission. So, let's cut to the chase and get you to the spots where the Belarusian language lives.
Let's say, you just came to Minsk and felt a craving to immerse in the local culture, meet locals and listen to Belarusian as fast as you can.
For starters, keep looking around and you won't miss the fact that all the names of the streets look a bit odd – this might be it, authentic Belarusian łacinka is looking back at you.
Another quick and budget-friendly way is to go down the metro. Don't panic, we've got your back here too and made a guide on how to use public transport (metro included) in Minsk.
Besides fanciful inscriptions indicating the stations and directions, one will hear the announcements made in Russian, Belarusian and English, so that you don't get lost.
Just imagine how unusual it would be to watch familiar play, Don Juan by Jean-Baptiste Moliere for instance, in Belarusian. Or, on the contrary, to get acquainted with the works of Belarusian drama.
We particularly recommend two theaters: Janka Kupała National Theatre and Theater of Belarusian Drama. Here the Belarusian language will be presented in all its glory in the works of Belarusian classics and modern playwrights.
For years the Belarusian language was seen as the language of villagers and farmers, no wonder, the village now is some kind of its last bastion. Well, where to start with?
Choose a small town or better a village closest to the south-western border of the country, then pick the transport and how to get there. Once on the ground, start looking for Belarusian-speaking seniors to have a nice conversation.
Mind they highly unlikely will understand your English, so it's better to go there with a person who speaks Russian/Belarusian to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Be sure, even if you don't hear pure Belarusian speech there's a big chance someone will talk trasianka, which is a mixed form of Belarusian and Russian.
Museum lovers should go search for the Belarusian language in Minsk literary museums: Janka Kupala Museum, Jakub Kolas, and Maksim Bahdanovič Museum, just to name a few.
While you may not hear pure Belarusian, a bunch of insightful facts about Belarusian literature, culture and history is guaranteed.
More on the topic:
This Dialect Map Lets You Hear How Belarusians Speak Native Language
Belarusian Gets In List Of 25 Endangered Languages
43% Belarusians Consider Russian Native Language, Only 3% Use Belarusian
If you are more into interactive performances, the Museum of Theater and Musical Culture History may be of interest. Be sure to go watch one of the unique Batlejka puppetry shows.
Forrest Gump, Home Alone, Die Hard – want to watch some classics of world cinema such in Belarusian? Kinakong makes it possible, check their website to see what is in the movies now.
Exploring the country with the Belarusian speaking guides is doubly entertaining, isn't it? So you can either join 'Vandroŭki ŭ minulaje' free walking tours or contact local guides.
Feel like being ready to dig deeper and try yourself in learning the language?
Then check Mova Nanova school (it sticks to edutainment approach), Pramova language club to upgrade your eloquence or Movaveda informal language-courses.
Watching TV is probably the least fun thing you can do when in a foreign country but why not turn it on when getting ready for another excursion? Just tune in Belarus 3 channel or online Belsat TV.
Where else?
Locals also recommend to visit Church of Saints Simon and Helena (also known as the Red Church) in the heart of the city, get acquainted with the students of philological and historic faculties.
Drop by Lohvinaŭ Bookstore, one of the centers of the literary life in Belarus, where contemporary writers, critics, and book lovers gather to talk, share ideas and create.
Visit such Belarusian-speaking islands as "Ў" Gallery, Cech, and Art Syadziba. Concerts, lectures, creative meetings, exhibitions are usually held here in the Belarusian language.
You can also listen to Belarusian songs and even learn some (your music education or its absence doesn't matter) by joining Speŭny Shod community. Don't forget about Belarusian singers!

Hyderabad: Due to the introduction of VAT in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, many Indian workers get affected.
Former Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Mr. Talmeez Ahmed told this in Hyderabad that it will affect 70-80% Indian workers. He informed that in Saudi Arabia and UAE, there are 3 million and 2.8 million workers respectively. Many of them belong to middle-class families. With the enhancement of house rent, medical expenses, school fees, transport and other essential commodities, NRIs will face difficulties. It may also create an impact on remittances to be sent to India.
For the past two years, NRIs were already facing difficulties due to other restrictions but with the introduction of VAT, their worries may increase.

Since it's mid-September and I saw orange leaves today while I was out, what could be more fitting than a witchy story?
Halloween is coming, my friends, and the Lit Mama is all in.
The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a beautiful story about friendship and staying true to oneself set in 1687 Connecticut. When 16-year-old Kit is orphaned, she has to travel to America to live with relatives she's never met. Suspicious and unfriendly, the Puritan community in which she finds herself soon begin to whisper 'witch.' And when Kit finds a friend in Hannah Tupper, a widow known as the Witch of Blackbird Pond, things become downright dangerous.
There are so many lessons to learn from this book. And it's incredibly absorbing. Plus, autumn. Did I say that already?
The Witch of Blackbird Pond is a powerful statement about mob mentality and the hysteria of the colonial witch hunts that plagued the United States in its youth. Seriously, this is an excellent addition to a Colonial history lesson.
As such, I have lots of activities you can do to help your kiddos understand the novel better. So let's get to it.

Sgt. Jason Daniels of the Hyde County Sheriff's Department spoke to me briefly yesterday about the sexual assault case that he and the other deputies are investigating.
"We are still working on it," he said. "We don't have anyone in custody and don't have a suspect."
Jason made it clear that he can't share any details of the case in order to protect the victim. He made the decision to go public with Monday's press release because the sheriff's department is hoping someone will come forward with some information that could lead to an arrest.
If you have anything to report (the assault happened in the wee hours of Friday, June 17th) please contact the lead investigating officer, Corporal Jaren Mutro, at 252-542-0617.
Jason is confident in Jaren's investigation skills. "She's very capable," he said. "I assure you that if we need outside help, we do not hesitate to ask." The other deputies on duty on the island are Rob King and Blackburn Warner.
This was the first sexual assault case reported on Ocracoke so far in 2016.

The Editor,
Re: "Girl learning to drive smashes car into gym," the Now, March 31.
Our four boys, after turning 16, were all sent to driving school, where professional driving school instructors, with cars equipped with two steering wheels – one for the instructor – made it less likely that any of our four boys would drive into a gym, or any other stationary, or moving object.
These students are taught driving techniques in a classroom long before they are allowed to get behind the wheel. Yes, it does cost a bit more for a parent not to do the teaching – but saves a lot of stress on the nerves of the do-it-yourself parent. It could also be a life-saving decision for both child and parent.
Parents are emotionally involved with their children, while a professional driving instructor is trained to handle this job in a dispassionate manner. A professional driving instructor can teach a whole lot more than a parent, including defensive driving techniques, and accident avoidance maneuvers, that most parents never heard of, or were never taught.
There is an additional benefit, in that you are unlikely to pass on any unknown-to-you bad driving habits onto your children. There are many good and competent driving schools out there, including Young Drivers of Canada, which I highly recommend. It is a win-win decision for both parents, and their young drivers, to use a professional driving school.

Free agency is just about here, and while the Dolphins won't likely make a huge push for him, wide out T.J. Houshmandzadeh says he'd like to play for the Fins. The Miami Herald had the following on it today:
Bengals free agent T.J. Houshmandzadeh told associates he would welcome Miami interest, but a Dolphins bid would be surprising. The Dolphins have said receiver will not be a priority in free agency and seem more inclined to draft one. They spoke with several at the Combine, including North Carolina's Hakeem Nicks.
