Depression; you never know when it is going to hit, or how deep it is going to take you. Like the photo above it seems everything is dark with only some light around it. You may hear something said or an action is done that takes you on the ugly spiral downward. Only you don't know how to stop and the pit gets darker and deeper.
Sometimes you try to talk to someone about something that was said but the conversation goes the wrong direction or is taken wrong; they don't see that it caused you to open that door once again to enter a place that is dark and lonely. You try to explain but they just get angry and you aren't saying things maybe the best way, so they hang up on you and you feel worse that now you have upset someone else. It is not that I am trying to drag someone into my despair, I am trying to prevent another accordance; they don't understand.
You may be in a crowd of people, or even with loved ones – yet something triggers it. A word, a phase, a joke or something that takes you back to a darker time that started all of it to begin with.
People who have never suffered from it do not understand, your mom tells you to "just get over it", or to "forget it". Yet, you can't. You have no control over it. You continue to keep moving forward, you could be watching TV but your mind goes elsewhere and you don't see or hear what is even on the screen. You can lay in a dark room or sit outside – yet it persist – the downfall.
I have come to realize that it just has to play itself out. Take my meds and wait, or wait did I take my meds? You don't remember if you done simple things that you thought you did. My mind is alert yet the shadows cover it. No violence but silence impedes your mind, I crawl into myself and don't let anyone in.
I have to say I am much better than I used to be when my depression presses down on me. I use to want to run away, leave, just get out of Dodge; I no longer do that. I do not sit and cry, although shortly after it hits I feel the tears come but I don't let them fall.
The Lord is my strength and he will help me overcome this. He always has before and he will again. I walk in his grace and know that he knows my heart and what is going on. He loves me and will bring the light back.

"Mac Ride has really expanded the range of our rides. Now we have an option to all ride together, far beyond when a child's legs run out of pedaling power. Robbie loves it. He is always asking me to find little jumps and corners to hit. I think it helps him to see what he can do when he's on his own bike too." ~ @mattyhunter

Last week I had a go at making the beautiful Egyptian coils which are 3000 years old and were used by the ancient Egyptians to make necklaces, bracelets and other decorative pieces. There are quite a few free online tutorials ; I liked the one at www.pampreslar.com which displays good pictures and clear instructions.

Here are a few things to keep in mind for the chat:
1. Make sure to mark all your questions and comments with #VAapp. You can address them to @richellemead, but without the hash tag, no one else will be able to find them and read them.
2. If you've been to my past chats, you know I'm never able to answer everyone's questions. Things get crazy! So, if I don't answer yours, please don't be offended! I'll type as fast as I can. Follow the hash tag because if something is asked multiple times, I'll only answer it once. You might find your question was already answered. I also tend not to answer things that give away big book secrets ("Will so-and-so get together?"). :) And sometimes, questions start flooding in so rapidly that I unfortunately lose some of them.
3. If my answers are short, don't be offended either! Remember Twitter is only 140 characters (less with the hash tag). So, I'll have to keep it brief or possibly refer you to my website or FAQ, if there's an answer there.
4. The chat is to celebrate the app, but you can ask other things. If you do have app questions, though, this is a great time to ask because Penguin people will be around and tweeting to help with those.
UPDATED: @PenguinTeen will be around to answer a lot of app questions and also to give away three ARCs of The Golden Lily! They'll explain how to win when the time comes, and it's an international contest.
Also, remember: Click and follow along with hash tag #VAapp. Otherwise, you may not see my comments and other people's questions. Also mark your own tweets with #VAapp.

Fun book about our Missouri president. It was a nice little glimpse into the lives of Harry and Bess. Funny to imagine they really thought they could just hop in the car and drive across the country unnoticed. It also put me in the mood for a road trip!
Quirky and lots of fun to read. Harry Truman was a truly decent man (but not above some sly digs at his enemies)

Conversion Rate Optimization
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is a useful tool in online marketing. CRO is at the crossroads of A/B Testing and Web design/development. With CRO, we scientifically test users' actions on a website. We gather specific data points and then use that data to optimize the website and increase the conversion rate, thus increasing revenue.
How does CRO work?
Once a user has found your website, they can view the home page or further peruse your website going deeper into other pages. What we do is direct them into completing an action you want. This can be signing up user, joining the mailing list, spending longer on your website or purchasing a product. Basically, your end goal becomes the target for every user. We optimize the website to ensure this goal is met, thus converting every hit on the website, into a useful lead.
We do this by first optimizing the landing page. Then we try to funnel the user into going to the specific page, to complete the preferred action. We can then measure all of these actions to find out whether our strategies work.
CRO maximizes your marketing expenditure. It is no good just getting hits to a website if that doesnt somehow provide value. CRO fuses your business goals with your website content. You can increase your revenue with the same amount of traffic because each user is more likely to be of higher value with the optimization.
The CRO process is always ongoing and is never finished. You can constantly view users actions and enhance your website to intuitively create value from users. We constantly monitor and measure the performance of your website's pages, ensuring each one is achieving its maximum and increasing roi.
By evaluating user behaviour and scientifically defining usability we aim to enhance the performance of your website and maximize ROI. We shape the user experience to match your goals.
We dont just identity how users convert but we try to comprehend why they convert and why dont. Our approach consists of user behaviour analysis, heatmap analysis and attribution modelling to define the usability of your key pages. We then strategize, experiment, develop and redevelop through A/B testing to craft the best optimized user experience.
CRO enables your SEO, PPC and all other marketing efforts to become immediately more profitable. It is not enough to just send users to your website, it is vital to then convert those users to real value.

Routing and organizing documents in Cloud Workflow is easy.
Getting document processes running the way they should takes organization. Cloud Workflow's folder-based approach means process steps can be created, edited, reordered or removed in a just a few clicks.
In addition to creating folders for process steps, individual users can be given the ability to organize their own work within a particular step, or steps.
Shared Folders for team access
Kickstart workflows by giving teams access to shared, real-time document queues.
Personal Folder customization for every user
Let users create and manage their own folders inside a workflow without losing any document visibility.
Complete Control and Oversight
Use Cloud Workflow's Move and Forward capabilities to tightly control document rights and access without sacrificing process flexibility.
A Simple Workflow Problem: Expense Reimbursement
In order to be reimbursed, each member of the Sales team has to submit an expense report to the Accounting team.
Before the organization moved to Cloud Workflow, the expense reimbursement process was frustrating for everyone involved:
The sales reps rarely knew when they would be reimbursed.
The accounting teams burned too many hours moving and chasing reports.
The management team had no view into how the operation was working (or not).
A Simple Workflow Solution: Concord Cloud Fax
Cloud Workflow solves this simple workflow problem by enabling teams to quickly and efficiently route work through the process while permitting individuals to organize their own work the way they need to.
This way, expenses are reimbursed more quickly and both the sales reps and management team have the appropriate level of visibility into the process.
How Organizing and Routing Works
This is John
John works on the Accounting team. His job is to review the expense reports submitted by the sales team.
This is the Sales Team
Members of the Sales team kick-off the process when they submit expense reports. Expense reports are submitted by scanning, faxing or, uploading the documents to a shared folder.
Organizing Work
John has the option to review the expense reports directly from the "New Expense Reports" folder or move them to his own personal folders. By moving the reports to his personal folder, John can create and use his own task queues.
This process is similar to moving emails from your inbox to a specific folder.
Total Visibility
John's use of Personal Folders does not prevent the Accounting team from tracking his work. Every action John takes is captured and recorded in the report's time line. Users can also directly access John's folders, ensuring the process continues even if john is out sick.
Meet Nancy
Nancy handles expense reports once they reach the Approve or Deny stage. If the report is approved, she digitally signs the document, authorizing payment.
If the report is denied, she notifies the sales rep who may then need to resubmit.
Workflow to Workflow
Once Nancy has signed-off on an expense report she forwards it to the Payroll team for processing. The Payroll team has their own workflow.
Document Security
Nancy is not part of the Payroll team. Nancy can forward documents for the Payroll team to process but cannot access any documents in that workflow.
Forwarding enables Nancy to transition documents into workflows outside of her area of responsibility. This model provides a great deal of flexibility in the business while protecting sensitive, confidential or classified information.

The healing art of placing stones on or near Chakra centers is widely accepted in Crystal Healing, Reiki, Massage Therapies, Ayurvedic and Yoga practices all over the world.
7th or Crown Chakra
If you have issues with awareness, universal identity or belief systems, this is one to work on. Associated colors: white and/or violet. Located at the top of the head or 1 inch above top of head.
Areas Governed...
The 7th Chakra is about spirituality and self-knowledge. This Chakra can suffer a trauma from withheld information, forced religeon, when one's beliefs are unvalidated, or when the right to think or question has been removed. This Chakra is developed during and after early adulthood and helps with assimilation of knowledge and the development of wisdom.
When In Balance...
We have the ability to assimilate and analyze information, are intelligent, thoughtful and aware, will be open minded and able to question things, have a spiritual connection, and have broad understanding that provides wisdom and mastery.
When Excessive...
We may over-intellectualize, be confused or disassociate from our body.
When Deficient...
We have spiritual cynicism, have learning difficulties, hold rigid belief systems, be apathetic and create excesses in the lower chakras like materialism, greed and domination of others.
Healing the Chakra...
As in all the preceding Chakras, it is important to reconnect with our body, but we must also renew our spiritual and emotional connections. Setting new life goals, establishing a program of learning and study, meditation and self examination will help in that process.
Stones to Use:
Clear Quartz, Danburite, Herkimer Diamond, Howlite, Ametrine, Labradorite and Amethyst. Additional crystals that could be used are Celestite, Charoite, Diamond, Purple Fluorite, Iolite, White Kunzite, Opal, Pietersite, Selenite, Serpentine, Sugilite and Purple Tourmaline.
Take Note:
When using gemstones for healing, the energy should be directed through the body flowing from Earth to Sky or Sky to Earth, depending on what is to be worked on. For this Chakra, drawing from the sky and spiritual connections are very beneficial. However, drawing from Earth to Sky can also incorporate what has been learned from the lower Chakras into new wisdom. But, always keep in mind that there is no "right" or "wrong" way if the good that is brought helps you to realize your wholeness.

Building a business and building wealth both require careful planning and smart choices. One of the smartest choices you can make if you are growing your own company or working to grow your assets is to get legal help from an experienced attorney.
Vermillion Law Firm, LLC can provide assistance with some of the most important issues affecting business owners and affecting people who are hoping to achieve financial security for themselves and their families. Our legal team offers you advice on how to protect your company and protect your assets from all of life's uncertainties. Give us a call today at (888)-567-5745 to find out more about asset protection and business planning services we offer to clients in Dallas, Irving, Plano, and surrounding locations. You can also get answers to some general questions including:
- What do entrepreneurs need to know about business planning?
- What do you need to know about asset protection?
- How can a business planning and asset protection lawyer help you?
What Do Entrepreneurs Need to Know About Business Planning?
As you begin your business, operate your existing company, or grow your operation, there are a few primary things you need to consider. These include:
- Keeping your personal assets safe
- Protecting your interests in your investment in the business
- Making sure the business can grow and survive, even after you are gone
A good business plan can help you to accomplish all three of these goals.
You can keep personal assets safe through strategically choosing your business structure. Corporations and LLCs are among the options which allow you to operate your business as its own legal entity separate from you. By incorporating or forming an LLC instead of operating as a sole proprietorship or partnership, you can prevent a business bankruptcy from becoming a personal bankruptcy and can ensure a lawsuit against your company won't lead to the loss of personal assets.
There are a number of ways to protect your investment in the company, many of which center around avoiding problems with co-owners and creating the right legal documents. A buy/sell agreement ensures you and the other owners have agreed upon a protocol in case anyone needs to leave. You can determine in advance how a business interest will be valued, and can make sure no one gives their share of the company to someone you don't like. A partnership agreement, employment agreements, patents, trademarks, copyrights, non-compete agreements, and non-disclosure agreements are also different things you may need to use to protect your investment and help ensure business success.
Finally, to make sure your business can grow after you are no longer involved, you will need to create a comprehensive business succession plan. You should also think about your business as you make your estate plan, so you can avoid having estate taxes or high nursing home bills necessitate the sale of business interests.
What Do You Need to Know About Asset Protection?
Business owners need to protect both their personal and company assets, so asset protection is especially complicated for entrepreneurs. However, anyone with a nest egg needs to understand the risks they face and take steps to protect their wealth.
You need to consider how your wealth could be lost. Threats can include high nursing home bills; divorce; creditor claims; bankruptcy; estate taxes; and irresponsible heirs. Mismanagement of your property and investments in case of your incapacity could also result in your assets being reduced in value.
There are legal tools which can help you to address all of these concerns. Various types of trusts can protect your assets during your lifetime, as well as once those assets have been passed on to heirs. Creating a power of attorney can also help you to name someone who will be responsible for the management of your assets in case of incapacity, so the property can be controlled by someone who understands how to protect its value.
An attorney can help you to determine what the biggest threats are to your assets and how to protect your company and your wealth.
How can a Business Planning and Asset Protection Lawyer Help You?
Vermillion Law Firm, LLC provides assistance with asset planning, business planning, and taking steps to protect your company and your nest egg. If you want to ensure you can protect all you are working to build, give us a call today at (888)-567-5745 or contact us online. We provide service to clients in Dallas, Irving, Plano, and surrounding areas, so give us a call today to learn about what our legal team can do for you.

***Nominated for a BCO Award 2018***
Location: 2 Kingsway, Cardiff
Size: 663m²
When we were approached by Savills, a leader in the global commercial and high end residential property market, they were looking for us to design a fresh, new work environment for them that worked for clients, staff and visitors alike. They were relocating from their current office in Windsor Place to the top floor of 2 Kingsway in Cardiff City centre which now provides an open plan space for them with the most stunning floor to ceiling views of the castle.
Savills are driven by their rich history, customer care and passion for delivering services of a high standard so we wanted our design to take inspiration from their company brand and ethos. The scheme involves spaces that incorporate natural and industrial elements, reflecting both the agricultural and commercial sectors of the business.
They were looking for a work space where they could develop as a business and introduce agile working, all the while reflecting their international brand coupled with their local values. Through the use of pods, soft seating and living walls, we created an environment to promote informal communication and sharing of ideas. By removing cubicles and individual offices, openness and collaboration would be encouraged. By removing barriers and introducing hot desking, teams can sit out in the open and collaborate. With conference rooms and little breakaway spaces they can still have areas that allow for quiet time away from possible distraction.
Health and wellbeing is something we champion in our designs and offering staff the flexibility to work how they chose allows them to be happier and more productive in the workspace. We introduced 'Living Walls' into the space as key features which not only brought a sense of nature inside, but acted as barriers to define the individual zones. Contrasting this, concrete and steel were at the heart of the design, hardening the appearance of the soft, natural materials used in the new space.
The choice of materials such as concrete, wood and steel were chosen to reflect the construction background of the surveying community, along with living walls, wood and wool to reflect the agricultural side. Materials such as silk, walnut and the colour red were weaved through the customer facing areas to reflect the residential side of the business. All wood and fabrics were chosen from local suppliers from Wales as it was important to us to have Welsh products that are sustainable materials which is a reflection of the rich history of Savills, and Savills' new Welsh HQ in Cardiff.
We created two tea point facilities for the staff. One, being a 'drinks only' tea point and the second one being larger to accommodate the open plan working space. It acts as a breakaway for the staff from their desks - a space for informal meetings, a drink after work, to have lunch and to host. It's multifunctional and works great as a place to host an event.
As you move through the space you are taken on a journey of not only their past, but their future also. With soft materials reflecting their agricultural side and harder elements reflecting their more industrial side of the business, as you move through the space you are welcomed by complementing finishes that not only form a part of their branding guidelines but reflect the overall design. Through contemporary and practical aesthetics, 2 Kingsway was transformed into a welcoming and dynamic estate agent for both staff and visitors.
"It has had a positive impact on the way we work, in particular it has encouraged more interaction between staff in all departments which is great for business generation and cross referrals."
(Director, Savills, Cardiff)

3 Mistakes People Make When Buying a Steel Building
Steel buildings come with a number of advantages. This makes it a great choice for many people, but there are problems that arise when you don't design the building to fit your needs. Here are four mistakes people make when buying a steel building and having it built. This article will explain why they are mistakes in the first place and how to avoid making these mistakes yourself. Not Considering All Your Needs You need to consider the long-term needs of your organization relative to the building you're having designed, not just the short-term need for space.

Hassle free clothes shopping (even when there should have been hassle)
Its one of those very tired tropes that men don't like shopping, and I'm sure its nothing to do with my gender identity, but I really don't like shopping. The occasional shoe shopping (I do like a nice pair of shoes) and bi annual trip to outdoor shops to ogle at very expensive mountaineering kit I probably don't need, I'm not a one for shopping. Crowded shopping centres, getting the right size in a range of different shops and a creeping feeling that the amount of effort and the end result are severely out of kilter mean I tend to go for a combination of what's on the sale rail and a hefty … [Read More...]

Amherst is not a team used to coming from behind.
Now, it's just another thing that makes the Comets more dangerous.
Trailing, 4-2, early in the third period, Amherst sophomore Jacob Kramer scored three unanswered to give the Comets a 5-4 Baron Cup II title victory over Olmsted Falls on Feb. 11 at Brooklyn's John M. Coyne Recreation Center.
The Baron Cup is the fourth in Amherst history and comes in the second season since the Comets' return to action.
>> Photos: Check out a gallery from all three Baron Cup finals
"It's great," Kramer said. "Coming back and winning SWC and then the Baron Cup? This feels great and it shows that we have a great team effort. I'm so happy right now."
Amherst coach Steve Morris said that the comeback win showed the heart of his players.
"It was an interesting position for us," Morris said. "We didn't start off very well, whereas Friday we played really well right off the bat. They came out with more intensity and really took the game over in the first period.
"This is a good group and they didn't panic. It says a lot about them."
The game appeared to be in Olmsted Falls' favor after junior Dom Conte scored on a scramble in front of the net 32 seconds into the third period to make it a 4-2 Bulldogs' advantage.
Five minutes and a pair of Kramer goals later, it was knotted at 4-4 and this were about to get interesting.
With 7:58 to play, Olmsted Falls was called for a hand on the puck in the crease penalty.
The result?
A penalty shot for Amherst.
Kramer calmly took the shot and beat Olmsted Falls goalie Angelo Hanson to give the Comets their first lead of the game.
"That was my first one (penalty shot) this year," Kramer said. "I had in my mind that I was going to go backhand, but I just, like, panicked and went forehand because I just felt better with that. I was just able to slide it under his (Hanson) pad."
Olmsted Falls coach Zach Walczak, while not taking anything away from Amherst's comeback, said he wasn't a fan of the call.
"That's a great team and there's a reason that Steve was named the coach of the year," Walczak said. "I'm going to watch what I say here, but I hate to see the game being decided on a penalty shot. I don't think that call has been made once this year. We'll leave it at that. I hate to see the Cup come down to a penalty shot like that."
But the excitement was not done.
The Bulldogs pulled their goalie with just under a minute remaining for a man advantage, leading to the longest moments of Amherst freshman goalie Brady Grove's life.
"I was going nuts," Grove said. "I, like, just couldn't keep myself calm. I was just really nervous. But our defense is very solid, so I had to trust them and they trust me back."
The comeback victory is one that Grove said he knew his team could do.
"There's a banner in our school and it says that 2012 is the last time we've won the Cup," Grove said. "We weren't playing as a whole and were making some mistakes. I knew we could come back, so I wasn't too worried."
Prior to the third period, though, the game was all Olmsted Falls.
The Bulldogs netted a pair in the first period from freshman Brady Fitzpatrick and junior Max Kirth-Gruszczynski to take a 2-0 advantage into the first break.
Amherst made a bit of a comeback in the second period behind a pair of power play goals from Nathan Harmych. The Comets never got the lead, though, as Fitzpatrick notched his second goal of the game between the Harmych scores.

Cannon Highlights 2009-10 C-USA Women's Basketball Preseason Team
Oct. 14, 2009
Courtesy Conference USA
IRVING, Texas – The 2009-10 women's basketball season gets underway this weekend as the official first day of practice is Friday. Prior to the season tipping off, Conference USA is set to announce its Preseason All-C-USA Team and Player of the Year. This year's team highlights five of the most athletic and completive players in the league.
UCF's Emma Cannon headlines this year's team as she was voted the Preseason Player of the Year, edging out two-time C-USA Player of the Year Jareica Hughes of UTEP. Hughes joins Cannon on the preseason team as well as Houston's Courtney Taylor, Pauline Love of Southern Miss and SMU's Brittany Gilliam. Cannon and Love were unanimous selections.
Cannon had a breakout season a year ago, scoring 526 points and pulling down a UCF-record 393 rebounds, second most in the league for a single season. The junior averaged 15.5 points and a league-best 11.6 rebounds per contest. She also posted a conference best 21 double-doubles for the season. She was named to the All-C-USA first-team and took home C-USA Tournament MVP honors after leading the Knights to the title and a berth in the NCAA Championship. UCF became just the second program in league history to capture the tournament title by winning four games in four days. The Rochester, N.Y., native was named C-USA Player of the Week a league-high three times. She concluded the 2009 season ranked tied for fifth nationally in boards per game (11.6) and offensive rebounds per game (5.06). Her 173 offensive rebounds is the most by a C-USA player in league history.
Hughes repeated as the C-USA Player of the Year, making her just the third player in league history to reap multiple player of the year awards. She enters this season on pace to shatter the Miners' career point standard, while also finishing as part of the winningest class in program annals. The two-time All-C-USA first team honoree averaged a team-best 14.2 points, 5.42 assists, 2.19 steals and a 1.72 assist/turnover ratio. Hughes, a native of Southfield, Mich., toppled UTEP's career standards for assists and steals while also becoming its sixth member of the 1,000-point club.
Love, an All-C-USA first-team selection, averaged 15.6 points and 10.4 rebounds for the 20-11 Southern Miss team that reached the Conference USA championship game for the first time in its history. The Luxora, Ark., native was one of three Golden Eagles to surpass the 1,000-point milestone in 2009 and became just the second player in program history to reach this milestone in just two seasons (1,063). The 6-foot-1 forward notched a total of 20 double-doubles a year ago, second most in the league.
Taylor, a 6-0 forward from Crockett, Texas, emerged as one of the best in C-USA as one of three players that averaged a double-double with 16.7 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in 2009. She finished third in both categories as well as fourth in steals with 2.29 per game. Taylor was named to the All-C-USA first team and selected to the league's All-Defensive Team. She was named C-USA Player of the Week twice and finished the year with 16 double-doubles, third most in the league. Taylor also finished third with a team-best 2.28 steals per game, swiping 66, and fourth in blocks with 49.
Gilliam and the Mustangs have been one of the final four teams in the last two C-USA Championships, with SMU winning the tournament title in 2008 and regular season crown in 2009. The Tyler, Texas native concluded last season by scoring her 1,000th-career point in the first round of the WNIT. Gilliam led the team with an average of 14.7 points and 2.5 steals per game. She efforts were rewarded by earning All-C-USA second-team honors and was the second Mustang in as many years to win the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year award.
The 2009-10 Conference USA Championship is slated for March 8-12 in Tulsa, Okla. The University of Tulsa will host the five-day event at the Reynolds Center on campus. This will mark the second time in the last three years Tulsa has hosted the conference tournament.

Brittany Gilliam SMU 5-11 Sr. F Tyler, Texas
Pauline Love Southern Miss 6-0 Sr. F Luxora, Ark.

Harley-Davidson XL883L Sportster SuperLow
The SuperLow is billed as the easiest-to-handle, most confidence-inspiring H-D ever. Custom Michelin radial tires and rethought steering geometry give the bike benign handling. A special rear suspension provides more wheel travel than the Iron 883's with¬out causing the bucket-style seat to be any higher. A pullback handlebar and mid-mount foot controls make it easy for beginners to grab the SuperLow by the horns. Beware sharp curves, though: The down¬side to all that lowness is compromised cornering clearance. For 2014, the SuperLow gets the same brakes and other upgrades as the other Sportsters.
Price: $8,249 to $8,774
Engine type: ohv V-twin
Displacement: 883cc
Induction: EFI
Transmission speeds: 5
Final drive: belt

TUSCALOOSA, Ala . — When Alabama announced the transfer of Florida State quarterback Jake Coker, it seemed to spell the end for Blake Sims.
Sims, a converted running back, backed up AJ McCarron for two years but had never really shown in his limited game action that he had what it took to lead the Crimson Tide. Coker, meanwhile, came in with NFL scouts praising his ability and FSU coach Jimbo Fisher saying he was the most talented quarterback Nick Saban has ever had.
Fast forward to now, and those projections only look like a distant memory.
Instead, Sims grabbed hold of the starting job and the fifth-year senior hasn't looked back. He's on track to be the best passer of the Saban era and adds a new dimension to Alabama's offense with his feet.
"I always have faith in Blake," Alabama wide receiver DeAndrew White said. "I wouldn't have been surprised (to know he would be the starter) because Blake, he's a very good guy, he has an arm on him and he's getting better and better. ... I'm just glad to be playing with my teammate I came in with at quarterback and I'm at receiver. It's a privilege."
Sims' breakout game came in Alabama's fourth game of the season against Florida.
In his first SEC start, Sims put up the second-best passing performance in Alabama history with 445 yards and led the Crimson Tide to its most ever total yardage (672).
Sims' big day through the air included touchdowns of 87 and 79 yards to Kenyan Drake and Amari Cooper respectively.
Things seemed to slow down for Sims. He wasn't just running the offense, he was thriving in it.
"I said to myself 'Hey this is not as bad as I thought it could be,'" Sims said about that game. "I just try to do the best I can do. Keep coach Saban happy and keep (offensive coordinator Lane) Kiffin confident."
As the season has progressed, Kiffin and Alabama have worked more in for Sims to showcase his feet, whether on designed rollouts or more zone read.
Against Texas A&M, Sims showed his explosiveness as a runner. He shook two defenders, darting 43 yards for a touchdown. The next week at Tennessee, he had a similar 28-yard score.
It's given the Crimson Tide another way to attack defenses, maximize Sims' skills and give opposing coaches one more thing to think about.
"It's not as routine, certainly, quarterback mobility is certainly an element that you have to take into account when you prepare defense," LSU coach Les Miles said. "You look forward to preparing to formations and sets, but you always have to account for that very mobile quarterback."
Sims, though, hasn't played in a road environment like Tiger Stadium.
When he's struggled this season, it's been about lack of communication and execution before the play.
Kiffin is on the sidelines this year, the first time for an offensive coordinator under Saban. It's so he can relay play calls to his first-year quarterback right from the field.
Sims said he's been studying how McCarron handled the situation at LSU and hopes that he can have similar results this year.
"I noticed certain times in the game that he didn't have to say anything because the players can look to the sideline or they can look at each other, know the hand signals very well," Sims said. "He kept his composure very well. That was a tight game that year (2012). I think he did a great job and hopefully I can go and do the same exact thing."

By Hank Stuever
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, May 9, 2007
LOS ANGELES -- "The Price Is Right" without Bob Barker could mean something profound to a lard-butt nation. Either he gets a life or you do. Maybe both.
Barker is 83 now. He's essentially the longest, oldest, most continuous anything on the air. At a recent taping of the game show in the spangly-sparkly CBS studio long ago named in his honor, he is wearing one of his perfectly fitted navy blue suits and a periwinkle blue tie. His face, neck and hands are layered in stage makeup the hue of pulverized Nevada, so much that you're not sure where it ends and the man begins. His hair (hair?) is snow white; he stopped dyeing it many seasons ago in a nod to the inevitable. "What are you going to do after [you retire]?" an audience member shouts out during a commercial break.
"Well, I plan to do a little more drinking," Barker deadpans.
* * *
Rich, what's the next item up for bid?
"Bob, it's this lovely floor clock!"
Wooooo, goes the audience, and then shouts bids to the lucky four on contestants' row.
Nobody wants a grandfather clock, not really. They want the grandfather figure, who keeps five $100 bills in his left coat pocket.
Winning the stuff is not necessarily winning: A 36-year-old woman in Phoenix, according to the Arizona Republic, is trying to sell a baby grand piano she won on a February episode, because she owes between $6,000 and $12,000 in taxes on her total take (which included six nights in Puerto Vallarta and a dinette set), when really what she most wanted was to kiss Barker on the cheek before he's gone (which she did). A Lee's Summit, Mo., couple, both public school teachers, tried in vain to raise $44,000 to pay the income and sales taxes on an $86,743 Dodge Viper the wife won on the show. "It's something you love and you can't keep," she told the Kansas City Star. "It's just one of those things that came from Bob."
In the first week of June, Barker will tape his last episode of "The Price Is Right," turning over the hosting job, which has been his for 35 seasons since the show's relaunch in 1972, to an as-yet-unchosen successor. (And then what? How do you feel about Mario Lopez in the job? John O'Hurley? What about George Hamilton? Ambivalent, right?)
The network will air two nights of a prime-time Barker retrospective and fete on May 16 and 17, and is asking fans to post 15-second farewell greetings on YouTube for possible broadcast.
About 5 1/2 million viewers tune in on an average day. People wait outside for as long as 18 hours for one of 325 seats in the audience; nine of them will be picked to play. In some deviation from the science of television demographics, the most devoted fans are not merely the busloads of church-permed, AARP-aged minxes, but, more intensely, legions of college kids in flip-flops.
Unless there's an uncanny streak of new-car winners, "The Price Is Right" is relatively cheap to make. More important, it is one of the easiest, happiest things on television to watch.
Just the sound of it feels, somehow nostalgically, like being in bed with the flu. ("Come on down!" roars the announcer, Rich Fields -- who replaced the late Rod Roddy in 2003, who replaced Johnny Olson in 1986 -- as you beg some 7Up and toast to stay on down.) There is the sound of it starting at 11 a.m., over those gooey-warm CBS airwaves, just when the day is still technically young and yet already somehow wasted. It feels like skipping class again and again, the MWF 10:30 section of Lit 125: The Emerging Self.
It is the sound of human, couch-bound torpor (hospital waiting rooms; snow days!) mixed gleefully with supply-side economics. (Something d-o-o economics, voo- doo economics. Bob Barker, it should be noted with each Grocery Game, graduated summa cum laude in economics, on a basketball scholarship, from Drury College in Missouri, Class of '47.) You win by knowing the stuff that matters -- the going price of soup, of baby wipes, of pain relief. Also there is wonder, exaltation, a new pool table, his-and-hers Jet Skis, this beautiful living room set. All this can be yours. If . . .The Great American Audience
"I look at our audience as a microcosm of what America should be," says Roger Dobkowitz, 61, the show's longtime producer. "Of all the reality shows out there now, we're the most real. We enjoy our contestants being as real as they are. And what are they doing? They're doing their best. The audience really comes together and is proud of each contestant for doing the best they can. Nobody's trying to make somebody lose. It brings tears to my eyes to talk about it. . . .
"When a contestant loses a game, they're still so happy to be there. It's like something they've accomplished. It becomes this badge of honor -- they came to Mecca, they got up onstage, they met Bob Barker. They're not there for greed."
See them with blankies and plastic patio chairs, zealously staked out along the CBS compound at Fairfax and Beverly. Assistant producers come out sometime around noon and interview each ticket holder for possible contestanthood. Everyone gets that big, honey-yellow name tag with her or his name Sharpied in all caps upon it: ELISE. JACOB. RAJEAN. ANDREW. LESONYA. JOYCE. ASSAD. MELISSA.
Someone explain all the sorority girls, the Marines, the youth group missionaries, the frat rats, the stoners. (Well, the stoners we understand.) "Mom Needs a New Hot Tub," reads the pink, self-made XXL T-shirt worn by a woman whose name tag reads FLORA. She's using a cane, and so gets to wait out the last hour or so in the security lobby, with a woman pulling an oxygen tank.
"Think about it this way," Dobkowitz offers. "The median age in this country is 36 or 37, which means half the country does not know life without Bob Barker. You're young, you go out in the world and all the new things happen -- jobs, marriage. But turn on the set and Bob's doing the television show, and it's all okay."
It is no accident that, from the first season, the people who play "The Price Is Right" look exactly like the nation itself, no matter the year. They are dressed for immediate departure on Untucked Airlines. They seem like a lot of different thesis statements at once -- about diversity, about class, about consumption -- on a show that never meant to suggest any of that. Some ran on down, some skipped on down, one legendarily popped out of her tube top in the mid-'70s.
Up on that stage, they get bleary-eyed and sometimes tell Barker about being sick a lot in first grade, or about endless days spent at Meemaw's house watching TV, or they have him sign the tattoo they've gotten of his famous smiling face. Sometimes it's Bob on the shoulder, or else Bob on the calf, Bob on the biceps. It puzzles him and he does not question it.
Barker's wife, Dorothy Jo, has been dead 25 years, and he misses her greatly. They never had children. He has millions of grandchildren, though, if you broaden the definition of love and family to include being loved on television, by that sort of family. After a taping of the show earlier this year, in his dressing room, Barker considers this concept for a moment, as if it has never been suggested to him, and says yes, that's a good point, that's probably true.Change Isn't Good
Barker remembers the late producer Mark Goodson presenting the concept and persuading him to host. ("I think we'll get a good run out of this," Goodson said. "I do, too," replied Barker, who already had a good run hosting "Truth or Consequences.") And there the concept remained: the chunky stagflation-era typography; the low-tech lights and buzzers; the glittery sets that appear to be covered in the felty hides of genuine Muppets; that jouncy, frantic theme song.
"Every time we talked about changing the show, people would scream 'No, no,' " Barker says. "I sometimes ask the audience . . . and I don't even get the word 'change' out of my mouth."
There are the increasingly geezy commercials (the Hoveround "mobility scooter"; Wilford Brimley's diabetes kit; or the ad beckoning "attention, mesothelioma and asbestos cancer victims") which hoveround nicely with the jokes about Bob being dead, yet clearly alive. Barker's heard them all, or makes them himself: Check for strings! Look for batteries!"Did you see a coffin in his dressing room?" jokes Craig Ferguson to a guest on "The Late Late Show," which tapes in a studio down the hall. "Was it filled with the dirt of his native land?"
Barker went on Ferguson's show last year and karate-chopped the comedian's desk in half. For the last decade, an odd offshoot of the cult of Bob Barker is his promotion to the status of improbable badass. In every audience Q&A, someone (usually a college boy) raises his hand to ask about "Happy Gilmore," the 1996 Adam Sandler golf comedy in which Barker, playing himself, beats Sandler -- who taunts him with "The price is wrong, bitch!" -- to a pulp on the green.
"And that's where it really seemed to start, this 'cult' thing," Barker says. "I have to tell you, I don't understand it. I wish I knew the answer. I wish I could bottle it. Whatever it is, I'm grateful for it." Eighty-three and up and at 'em! A banana each morning does the trick, Barker says, and then some light weights and some stretching, followed by an hour on the elliptical trainer, during which time he lets his beloved rabbits (Miss Honey Bunny and Mr. Rabbit) out of their room-size cage to play. After some home office work and phone calls (he hopes to die knowing as little as possible about e-mail) and an early, light lunch, he descends yet another day into the land of Plinko, Punch a Bunch, Lucky $even and It's in the Bag. There is no chauffeured car; Barker drives himself.
For the last several years, he has renewed his million-dollar contract one season at a time. He liked the symmetry of ending it at 35 seasons--6,500-plus episodes is enough, and he's been on the air in one way or another for 50 years, more than that if you count radio.
"I'm going to miss it tremendously. I know I will," he says. "When my wife and I came to California, she produced my radio show, and so we were always talking about 'the show,' you see. Can we do this on the show? What are we going to do on the show today, tomorrow? It was the show, the show, the show."
The person who knows the least about the future of the show, it turns out, is Barker, even though he is, until he retires, the executive producer:
"They tried a nighttime 'Price Is Right,' which was a colossal flop. They had everything modern and it didn't work. It's a delicate thing we have here and if they start fooling with it, tweaking this and tweaking that, then I'll think that will be a mistake," Barker says. "But I've talked in greater detail with you right now about what happens to 'The Price Is Right' than I've talked with anybody [in charge], because they haven't asked me."It's Showtime
The crew rehearses without him, on the tacit understanding that Barker needs no rehearsal. He knows each of the 80 or so pricing games by heart and rarely, if ever, gets confused. An assistant delivers a yellow sheet of legal paper with the day's six games (eight if you include the Showcase Showdown and the Showcase itself) listed in pencil. "That will tell me if we're going to have two plugs on Games 2, 3 and 4, or something like that, and that's it," Barker says. "Away we go. Grind out another hit."
By 1 p.m., out on the stage, the crew practices wheeling cars and sofas and pricing games into place, while announcer Fields rehearses that distinctive script copy that will describe everything from "a NEW CAR!!" to a set of roasting pans.
The Barker Beauties, in hair rollers and bathrobes, are being told which spot to stand on for each reveal.
Oh, the Barker Beauties! Younger and perhaps hotter now, named Phire and Brandi and such. Thanks to the first Beauties, most sentient beings now know how to properly show off a refrigerator; that it's all in the wrist. There are as many as seven of them now and they rotate shows, to keep things fresh. (And Barker is not boinking any of them, and they are not suing him for harassment or discrimination -- that sort of unpleasantness, which at one point involved multiple lawsuits with several former Beauties, is past, thanks for your question.)
The crowd is ushered in, with the energy of sleepless speed addicts who just got a fresh fix. The sound system pumps a techno-beat version of the theme song, and they dance goonily. Names are called to "come on down" and do they ever. Those big paneled doors upstage part -- a little arthritically, as if they need to be greased or replaced -- and Barker strolls purposefully out toward them, and it is bliss, and he basks in it for a professional 10 seconds and away we go, grind out another hit:
Rich, show us the first item up for bid!
It's an above-ground pool. (Of course it is.) ELISE wins it, bidding $1,800, closest to the "actual retail price" of $2,974, goes on to play the Clock Game, and she spits out prices faster than Barker can say "higher" or "lower," and finally Barker sits down on the pink-carpeted platform and makes a hammy production of how old he's gotten. "You did great," ELISE assures him, after winning a pair of recliners and a set of dumbbells.
JACOB, a young Marine, wins a set of Igloo coolers and plays Cliff Hangers to win an Ikea kitchen. LESONYA bids $1,300 on a pool table and Hot Pockets frozen sandwiches, and the actual retail price is $1,300 exactly, so she gets $500, but sorry, LESONYA (cue the sad tuba bleat), no Pontiac Grand Prix.
KEITH, a retired military man, wins his-and-hers American Tourister luggage and then, in one of "Price's" cinchiest games (Side by Side), a Yamaha upright piano ($7,995). ANDREW, decked out in a giant white T-shirt on which he has painted Barker's signature sign-off ("reminding you to have your pets spayed and neutered"), wins a curio cabinet filled with porcelain kitties ($2,280) and then wins $10,000 cash by guessing that salsa, cat litter, cold medicine and stain remover each cost less than $8. JOYCE wins an Aquabot pool cleaner, but in playing That's Too Much, stops too early on the price of a Ford Mustang -- $20,902. (JOYCE, that's too little.)
But it's not over.
When you don't win, when Barker places his hand warmly near your lumbar and sort of half walks you, half pushes you off the edge of your fleeting fame, it's still not over, because you can hang your hopes on the Showcase Showdown.
They keep the wheel backstage. During a commercial break, several stagehands drag it into place, where it sits on a red carpet.
Reach up there and give that wheel a spin and see who gets closest to a dollar without going over. See what the fates are telling you. See what Bob says. See what America is, or was. Boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-- "I'd like to say hi to my girlfriend, Kim, and Mom and Walter, and Trina" -- boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop . . .
Boop . . . boop . . .

|Studies on coumarins of a Chinese drug "qian-hu"; VII. Structures of new coumarin-glycosides of zi-hua qian-hu and effect of coumarin-glycosides on human platelet aggregation.[Pubmed: 3725933]
|Three kinds of new coumarin-glycosides, Decuroside I ( 1), Decuroside II ( 2), Decuroside III ( 3), which were isolated from the N-butanol extracts of the crude drug Zi-Hua Qian-Hu, the root of PEUCEDANUM DECURSIVUM Maxim. (Umbelliferae), were elucidated to be nodakenetin-4′- O-β-gentiobiose, nodakenetin-4′- Oβ-isomaltose and nodakenetin-4′- O-β-maltose, respectively, by the methods of chemical and spectral analysis. These three new compounds as well as Decuroside IV ( 4), decuroside V ( 5) and nodakenin ( 6) which were also isolated from Zi-Hua Qian-Hu were tested on human platelet aggregation induced by 2 μM ADP. Among these coumarin-glycosides, 3 and 4, showed the strongest inhibiting activity against the primary and secondary wave aggregation of human platelet. 1 and 2 had a less inhibiting effect or none at all, and 5 was rather promotive against the primary wave aggregation.

Boom! Woah! Exploding Box Photo Album
Some explosions are loud and pretty. Like fireworks.
Other explosions are quiet and pretty. Like this amazing photo album that we're gonna teach you to make.
That's right! We're gonna lead you step by step through the surprisingly simple process of making an Exploding Box Photo Album!
(Don't worry, it doesn't really explode. No safety goggles needed.)
Why It's Cool
Your photos deserve to be seen. And what's more eye catching than a photo album that opens up like a booming firework?
The Exploding Box album looks beautifully intricate but it's actually easy to make. It's the best of both worlds, and your photos will love their new home.
- 4 Pieces of 12″ x 12″ thick paper or cardstock
- A bunch of your fave prints
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Glue
Making Your Outer Layer
The outer layer of your box is what you're gonna see when your box is closed. So make sure to use a patterned paper you really love!
Step 1: Mark Your Paper
With your ruler, measure and mark your paper every 4″ along the border. Connect the marks that are parallel to each other with straight lines.
When you're done it will look like a tic-tac-toe board!
Step 2: Make Your Walls
Cut off the four corners so that you're left with a plus-sign shape.
Fold your paper along the lines to create four walls. If your patterned paper is single-sided, make sure the design is on the outside.
Can you see your box already beginning to take shape?
Finding Your Inner Pieces
The steps to making your middle and inner layers are identical to the steps above. The measurements are just gonna get smaller each time!
Step 1: Middle Layer
First trim your paper to 10 ½" x 10 ½".
Next, mark your paper at every 3 ½" all around the border and create your tic-tac-toe board.
Cut out the corners and fold in your walls!
Step 2: Inner Layer
Trim your paper to 9″ x 9″. Create a tic-tac-toe board with 3″ marks.
Cut out your corners and fold your walls inward. Now all three of your layers are done! Time to move on to…
Making Your Lid
Step 1: Create a Border
Trim your paper just a little over 6″ x 6″ (to ensure it's big enough to fit over your box).
Next, create a 1 inch border around all four sides of your paper.
Step 2: Cut and Glue
Starting at the lower right corner of your paper, cut the vertical line up to the horizontal line so that you have a little flap. Turn your paper 90 degrees and do this to every corner until you have four flaps.
Fold your paper along the inner border to create the sides of your lid. Glue your flaps to the sides and voila, you have a box lid!
Add Prints and Embellishments
Hey, guess what! The hard part is over and now the fun can begin. Cut up your prints and begin gluing 'em on the layers of your box.
Add stickers, ribbon, or anything else you'd like in order to make your box extra unique–just like you!
Now go and show off the most explosively awesome photo album ever.
Taking it Further
- Want even more photo albums where the pics jump right out at you? The Flip Flap album is gonna be right up your alley, then.
- Or keep it mellow and convert your favorite old books into photo albums.
- Not enough printed photos in your life to fill an exploding box? Sounds like you're going to want to know all about our secret project at Parabo.Press the moment it launches. Sign up for the Parabo email list!

I feel I need to preface this with the comment that YES, I know the show isn't what it once was. (I made the mistake of watching the last three episodes of S3 before the premier of S12. Don't do this to yourself, folks.) On the heels of that, my feelings are that the acting is still fantastic, the writing waxes and wanes, but I feel the series as a whole has suffered from the network's request that they "lighten up the look". I miss the old grit and grunge and chiaroscuro, the long shadows and desaturated hues. It was such a hallmark of the show, added such gravitas. Please, network, can we do this again? No? Well, shucks.
Annnnywho, the episode at hand! I jotted down thoughts as they occurred to me, numbered for ease of reply, so that's what yer gettin'.
1.) Eye crinkles. Jensen is a beautiful man. I loooooved Dean's interactions with Mary. Sam Smith does a masterful job at depicting Mary's confusion without overplaying it, without making it a joke. She's amazing. And the way Jensen lets all of Dean's heartache play across his face, SLAY ME.
2.) That music. It's like Pavlov's dog; every time I hear it, I'm crying.
3.) MoL London: our spin-off?
4.) Cas always gets the BEST entrances! A+++
5.) "Animals...people...they're all meat." Seriously, lady? I don't care how much money you threw at me, I'd fish out the bullet and report it as soon as you drove off. But that's just me. I guess they don't want us to feel any sympathy for Momma Toni. Yet.
6.) Okay, so, demons. Why are they so effin' STUPID now? They're hacks. Grunts. They're not even vaguely scary anymore. The casting was wan, the acting even worse. The characters just stood there, awkwardly repeating their lines, trying to be funny. And can we not put everyone in dark suits? Angels, demons, MoL bodyguards. It's all so visually dull.
I dunno maybe this is the direction's fault? Phil Sgriccia, SPN alum, has directed a crap-ton of episodes. Is he getting a little bored? Resting on his laurels? It just wasn't as cinematic as the show has been. I know Phil can be more creative. (Easy for ME to say, heh...)
7.) "No, I don't have a harp." Heee! I love it when Cas is literal and exercises poor people skills. :D
8.) I'm kinda in the minority, but I dug Ms. Watts (I think that was the MoL heavy's name?) Cas tried to do the forehead thing with her, but she started walloping on him with her Enochian sigiled brass knuckles (COOOOOOL), and he was like Superman getting hit by kryptonite. She knew her stuff. Remember, Dean is running on no sleep; he's not gonna be as hardy as he might normally have been. I bought it.
9.) What cued them to suspect the veterinarian again? Boy, Sammy has zero luck with those, don't he?
10.) Yes, YES, Dean...you do make the world a better place! It was really nice to hear him admitting something positive about himself, about what they do! Of COURSE they've screwed things up--who of us hasn't?--but they did it out of love. For each other, for humanity, for good. It's never a question of "right" or "wrong", though. Like, ever. (If they always did the "right" thing, this would be an intolerably boring show. Go watch Touched by an Angel if you want that.)
11.) I dig that Lucifer burned through vessels, a little nod to the old concept that certain human lineages are better suited to holding archangels than others. I hope they give Crowley some juicy stuff this season. Make Hell Great Again.
12.) Sam. SAM. Sammy Sammy Sammy. Saved his bits for last, because me. :D
Jared does so, so well when he's acting with his whole body. You know he feels what his character is feeling, physically FEELS. It hurts me to watch, hurts so gooood. Also, kudos to this season's hair team. Y'all know me; I love his hair long, but barring that, when it's layered? The curls come out. His flippy little curls. *pinches dimpled cheeks*
What were talking about? Oh, Sam! Yeah, Toni, you ain't gonna break him. Good luck with that. The look and editing of their scenes was fantastic. Nice and dark, snappily cut together. I wasn't keen on the way the fx department depicted Sam's hallucinations; it was a tad cheesy. I think it would've been better to just show us smeared, blown-out peeks, as Sam was probably seeing them, instead of those floating image wisps. But that aside, yaaaasssss. Sam's burnt feet, how tightly he was affixed to the chair, how TOUGH he was, spitting out "SCREW. YOU.", fooling Toni into checking on him and almost escaping (another beautifully choreographed scene), and then...THEN...Sam sitting at the bottom of the stairs, forlorn. In pain, alone, his head-to-toe body language just dripping exhaustion. My id is gloriously happy!
13.) Just wait until Dean and Mary get there. They'll snap London like Dean snapped that cell phone. (ROWR!)
Overall, it was a solid, satisfying episode! I see this one and the next as kind of a combined premier, since this one had to do a lot of setting up for the whole shaboodle. I hope we get to see more of Mary's POV of what her sons have become, get some deliciously feelie family heart-to-hearts, and unlike some fans, I'm looking forward to more Lucifer. I still have hope we'll get resolution for Sam on this front (hello, almost two centuries of torture), and serious acknowledgement from Cas that he really screwed the pooch with that possession stunt. We shall see!
All comments welcomed! Just be nice to each other. I reserve the right to shut down personal attacks and blatant character bashing. We don't all have to agree, but we can be civil, yeah? :D
