Healthy, but Still Not Good for You?
- May 23, 2016
Just because something looks good doesn't mean it's good for you. Today's tactics surrounding food marketing really blur the lines between healthy eating and hitting your macronutrients. Just because the food label has the word "natural," "organic," "clean" or "healthy" doesn't mean it's good for your diet. The subdued colors on the packaging or smaller and/or thinner version of the product doesn't make it any better either.
When you're trying to achieve fitness goals, from losing weight and gaining lean muscle mass to improving performance or endurance, it's important you know exactly what you're putting into your body. That's why athletes, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts live by their macros. They know precisely how many grams of protein, carbohydrates and fats they need to consume daily in order to keep up with their progress. And when fitness goals change, so do their macronutrients – recalculated, measured and tracked again.
Not all calories, fats, protein and carbs are created equal.
You want to make sure you're eating quality food and that your source of energy comes from a well-balanced diet. There's so much information out there, but many claims lead to misconceptions or misinformation. Even "clean eating" isn't free of those beliefs. For example, unlike the general belief, eating clean foods does not mean you won't gain weight. It doesn't mean you'll get a more toned physique. It doesn't mean you'll speed up your metabolism. And the list of misconceptions goes on and on.
Even healthy, outdoor enthusiasts don't always get it right. Take for example, trail mix. It's a go-to snack for hikers who pack the calorie-dense snack for their adventures since it's lightweight, portable and provides an overload of calories. Little do they know, it's mostly all fat and sugar. Not a real clean profile there! Trail mix isn't exactly healthy, especially if it's the store-bought kind where portions are out of control and nuts are roasted versus raw. Trail mix spikes insulin levels thanks to the excess sugar and then your body stores it as fat.
The same goes for "healthy" protein bars.
Side-by-side comparison of three different on-the go bars:
|On-the-Go Bar#1
|On-the-Go Bar#2
|On-the-Go Bar#3
|Fat – 6g
|Fat – 12g
|Fat – 12g
|Protein – 20g
|Protein – 4g
|Protein – 5g
|Carbohydrates – 6g
|Carbohydrates- 33g
|Carbohydrates -16g
As you can see, some of these bars have twice the fat and carbohydrates amount and a protein content that doesn't even come close. The On-the Go Bar #1 crushes the competition when it comes to protein content. At 20g of protein it has nearly four to five times the amount of the other ones. For someone that tracks their macros, that's a huge difference.
Introducing the BEST PROTEIN BAR™
BPI Sports formulated the BEST PROTEIN BAR™, for those with specific dietary needs and fitness goals. This newest protein formula is designed to support lean muscle gains, weight maintenance and precise macros.
The gluten-free BEST PROTEIN BAR™ has great ingredients resulting in a delicious, chewy and soft bar. It's created with a quality protein blend made up of whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate and whey powder. With four delicious flavors including S'mores, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cookies and Cream, as well as Cinnamon Crunch, it's a delicious way to get your protein intake.

An increase in online learning in K-12 is positively impacting the integration of technology in college campuses, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported recently.
A growing group of students in Michigan and around the country, having been required to take online courses prior to graduating high school, are now arriving at universities with "greater expectations that technology will be an integral part of their academic experience," the article says.
In the nine years since Michigan first began this mandate, five other states have followed suit, with similar results.
Most important to note is the students' desire for more than having technology feature in their classrooms. As universities test a variety of platforms and tools from online tests and quizzes, recorded videos and podcasts, and dedicated social media, students continue to want their technology incorporated into the learning experience in a more productive way.
We see the student as the crucial component of the learning experience. As such, the technology should adapt to the needs of the student, not the other way around. At an increasingly younger age, students will continue to expect education that is equally accessible and interactive, and platforms like ours will need to continually iterate to support quality online education.Learn More: Click to view related resources.

The United States Supreme Court has granted consolidated review of three cases to determine whether arbitration agreements that waive employees' rights to participate in a class action lawsuit against their employer are unlawful. The Court's decision to address the uncertainty surrounding class action waivers of employment claims follows a circuit split last year in which the Fifth and Eighth circuits upheld such waivers and the Seventh and Ninth circuits found that such waivers violate the National Labor Relations Act. Given the increasingly widespread use of class action waivers by employers to stem costly class and collective actions, the high court's ruling is likely to have a significant nationwide impact.

Saturday Night in Darlington
D.A.N. Jones
Darlington is not like Bermondsey: it has not been ruined yet. In Bermondsey you could see the local community industry, the dockland, turned into a building-site – with the traditional community leaders and politicians quarrelling fiercely over the future of this land: older and younger members or ex-members of the Labour Movement were at each others' throats in an extreme local version, a microcosm, of the national split. You could see the blocks of council flats – many of which have housed the families of young dockworkers quite happily – boarded up, scorned and despised: for the young men and women have moved away. You could see older small houses, once workmen's cottages, now extremely desirable for young professional people. In came a bright young professional man as candidate for the Social Democratic Party, cutting between the quarrelling 'socialist' factions, and boosted by the London media-men (conveniently near at hand and poised to foment and exploit the Labour quarrel). This candidate scooped the pool, assisted by the votes and abstentions of elderly Bermondsey people bewildered by the ruin and general beastliness, not sure why good old Bob Mellish was being so rude to nice young Peter Tatchell. The vicious graffiti about Tatchell were gleefully reported: not so the more libellous graffiti about Mellish.

EBERSWALDE, Germany (Reuters) - In a German exhibition hall stands a life-like dummy of a 1990s neo-Nazi with shaved head, lace-up boots and bomber jacket. Next to it is a dummy of a latter-day neo-Nazi, wearing non-descript dark clothing, a cap and scarf, able to blend into any crowd.
They are part of a touring exhibition staged by German security services to educate youth on the mutating threat of neo-Nazism. It is a task given extra urgency by the unnerving discovery 18 months ago of a neo-Nazi cell that carried out execution-style murders unnoticed for almost a decade.
Organized by Germany's domestic intelligence agency (BfV), the exhibition - including rueful video testimonies from former neo-Nazis - aims to raise awareness of an ever-adapting and increasingly tech-savvy far right.
It is another example of a decades-long determination by German authorities to ensure the ideology that drove Hitler's Third Reich and the Holocaust gains no serious new foothold in their prized post-war democracy.
One display in the exhibition that has left youngsters aghast is a neo-Nazi version of the board game Ludo in which players, with rolls of the dice, propel their pieces as "Jews" into death camps as quickly as possible.
"The far right's attempts to recruit young people pose a huge danger to society and to our state, as well as to the people who devote themselves to its perverted ideology," BfV chief Hans-Georg Maassen said in an introduction to the exhibit.
"Not just the state but all social actors must join the fight against extremism. And to engage you need knowledge."
The appetite for such knowledge increased with the unearthing of the National Socialist Underground (NSU), a neo-Nazi cell created in the late 1990s by three youths that went on to commit 10 murders, utterly undetected.
The NSU's existence came to light in November 2011 after two members committed suicide following a bungled armed robbery. The trial of the third, Beate Zschaepe, 38, begins next week.
The case prompted finger-pointing over law-enforcement authorities' missed chances to apprehend the gang, botched investigations, and what critics called a complacent, entrenched disregard for the threat of the far-right.
The BfV, in particular, was accused of being more worried about protecting its informers than acting on tip-offs and of focusing on Islamist threats at the expense of neo-Nazis.
But, in an extraordinary example of contact between a secret service and ordinary people, BfV agents now tour Germany to show schoolchildren how easy it can be to be lured by the far right.
The exhibition, which began in 2004 but was reworked after the NSU affair and has been seen by some 150,000, just passed through the east German town of Eberswalde, north of Berlin.
Eberswalde holds the grim distinction of being the site of the newly reunited Germany's first racially motivated murder in 1990, when a 28-year-old Angolan man was killed by a mob.
The dummy of a skinhead neo-Nazi harks back to the time when Eberswalde Mayor Friedhelm Boginski was a teacher and confronted almost daily with swastikas on buildings and school books.
"That murder changed our town," he recalled. "People realized they must stand up and show courage towards neo-Nazis."
That is one of the reasons neo-Nazis now choose to be more inconspicuous. The second neo-Nazi dummy drives home that point.
It sports the dark scruffy clothes that are the typical garb of leftist agitators. In fact, Germany's far right is highly adaptable, embracing many subcultures such as rap and graffiti.
One group, the Unsterblichen (Immortals), uses social media to coordinate night-time processions, walking through towns with flaming torches and wearing masks to intimidate residents.
"Most of the schoolchildren we are explaining this to will already be familiar with it," said Dieter Utermoehlen, a member of the BfV who accompanies the roving exhibition.
"How kids react depends on their level of education. Typically there will be one or two who don't pay any attention."
Although the exhibition drew small left-wing protests in late 2011 due to anger that the BfV did not address its failings regarding the NSU in the show, the feedback is largely positive.
For teachers, it can be a vivid complement to class studies of Nazi history and trips to concentration camps. One young visitor voiced "upset at how much hate people can feel". Other pupils have expressed shock at harsh neo-Nazi music and said they had become more aware of the meanings of neo-Nazi symbols.
A think-tank study last year raised a stir in reporting that xenophobia was still deeply rooted in parts of German society.
Within the formerly Communist east, 15.8 percent of people displayed far-right thinking. In the former West, 7.3 percent.
In 2011 authorities estimated there were 23,400 far-right adherents in the country of 82 million, down slightly from 2010, though the number of those considered violent rose to 9,800.
Zschaepe, the surviving NSU cell member, faces charges of complicity in the murder of eight ethnic Turks, a Greek and a policewoman, two bombings in Cologne and 15 bank robberies.
Nigel Copsey, a professor in the far-right research center of Britain's University of Teesside, said early intervention in a child's education can be effective but the message had to be reinforced at home by family and peers, and repeated often.
"It is important to have ethnic minorities involved, as personal contact is key to breaking down racist myths and stereotypes," Copsey said.
The exhibition ends with testimonials from those who have left the neo-Nazi scene and advice on who to turn to.
"I grew disillusioned, then everything collapsed like a house of cards," said one, his face and voice disguised.
"I think people find this cool, think it offers some kind of future. But how could an ideology which is almost 100 years old and which failed so utterly back then offer anything at all?"

Hello everyone!
After the big succes of our last meet-up in Shibuya, Tokyo, we, Charlotte and Rox are organizing another meeting during our stay in Japan!
We want to once again gather as many western gals as we can and strut around town! The plan is to meet up in front of Shibuya 109 at 13:00!
We will first do some shoppings in 109, and afterwards we will go take some Purikura (eggnam is closed so we will have to look for another spot but there are many around) and when we're done with taking purikura we will visit 10sion, the new gyaru café! We will have some drinks and something to eat, and after that we can always see who wants to actually go to dinner, and who wants to head home
We hope to see you all there, we surely can't wait!
Lots of Love,
Charlotte (Agejoperfect.blogspot.com

MDO announces the release of eBoostr version 2.0, an update of its Windows XP acceleration software
MDO announces the release of eBoostr version 2.0, a major update of its Windows XP acceleration software. eBoostr speeds up Windows and applications by using available flash memory and free RAM as an extra layer of performance-boosting cache.
The product reduces application load time and improves responsiveness by utilizing the flash memory as well as otherwise wasted free RAM resources to cache frequently accessed files and data. Even if there's plenty of RAM, Windows XP does not utilize the available resources to its full potential. eBoostr makes Windows run smoother and big applications load faster without requiring costly hardware or software upgrades by implementing an alternative solution to ReadyBoost and SuperFetch technologies introduced in Vista.
Microsoft introduced two new technologies to improve the performance of its newest version of Windows, the new Windows Vista. Microsoft SuperFetch utilizes the available free RAM to enhance Windows responsiveness and reduce load time for frequently used applications by pre-fetching and storing frequently accessed applications in the computer's fast memory instead of loading it from the slower hard disk. Microsoft ReadyBoost utilizes flash memory for the same purpose, effectively adding yet another layer of performance-improving cache to the system.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has decided against implementing ReadyBoost and SuperFetch in Windows XP and older versions of Windows. eBoostr allows you to get the benefits of these technologies by giving Windows XP users a boost without them having to upgrade Windows.
A fully-functional time-limited trial version is available for download from the product website. eBoostr 2.0 is available for purchase in four versions: "Lite" ($19), "Desktop Edition" ($24), "Laptop Edition" ($29) and "Pro" ($39).

Regarding Edgar Allen Beem's piece "Welcome to the United Suckers of America," some people may be offended, but I thought it was great. To people who think his opinions on the influence of wealth in politics are extreme, look up some of the things said by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, who would certainly agree with Beem. Not to mention Doug Hughes, who recently landed his gyrocopter on the Capital lawn. And if one is open to some political humor, check out episodes of "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart. I agree with Beem in hoping that working-class people wake up to their manipulation by certain rich and corporate interests.

At 1.33 AM South of Iceland, U-136 fires 4 torpedoes at convoy SC-67 sinking Norwegian MV Heina (all 30 hands picked up by Canadian corvette HMCS Dauphin) and Canadian corvette HMCS Spikenard (57 killed, 8 survivors on a raft picked up 19 hours later by British corvette HMS Gentian).
Dutch East Indies. At 1.37 AM in the Molucca Sea 20 miles West of the island of Halmahera, Japanese destroyer Yamakaze spots US sub USS Shark on the surface and sinks her with shellfire from the 5" guns (all 54 crew lost as survivors are left to drown). Japanese invasion force departs Cam Ranh Bay, French Indo-China, for Palembang on the island of Sumatra, Dutch East Indies.
Singapore. ABDA commander General Wavell, who visited Singapore yesterday, provides this encouragement "There must be no thought of sparing troops or the civil population. There must be no question or thought of surrender. Every unit must fight it out to the end". Japanese lack artillery shells for a major offensive so General Yamashita bluffs by dropping 29 copies of a demand for the British surrender. General Percival, chastened by Wavell's order, does not respond. Australian and British forces are thrown in piecemeal to retake the village of Bukit Timah, but they are picked off one-by-one by the Japanese (a scratch force "X Battalion" is surrounded and annihilated, with 150 killed). Although Percival finally brings the fresh British 18th Division into the action, Japanese probing attacks gradually push the Allied line back towards the city of Singapore. Australian troops, who have borne the brunt of the fighting so far, start abandoning the line and even boarding boats carrying civilians off the island.
US forces arrive to reinforce Dutch islands Curaçao, Bonaire and Aruba in the Southern Caribbean.
Operation Cerberus. At 11.30 PM, German battleships Scharnhorst & Gneisenau and cruiser Prinz Eugen leave Brest, France, heading for the English Channel (the "Channel Dash"). They are escaping regular RAF bombing, which has been ineffective so far, to safety in the German ports of Wilmshaven and Kiel (via the Kiel Canal). They set out on a moonless night to achieve surprise and get as far into the Straits of Dover before the British can attack.

With a good view to watch the Hanoi's traffic, and white Art Deco style, Zephyr may be a good coffee shop for your Hanoi tour. Depending on your preference, style, and maybe age, you'll either find Zephyr refreshingly classic or insipidly old-fashioned. Just like the building itself, try and look on the bright side.
>> Antique Cafe
Zephyr Cafe – Enjoy Hanoi
This gleaming white Art Deco style structure seems out of place in the ever-present shadow of Vincom, central Hanoi's most successful monument to corporations and commercialism. But it works to have a calm space in which to retreat from this endlessly noisy neighborhood when you need to. Disappointingly, the structure isn't old, but the architects have pieced together a neat, no-nonsence cafe with no frills but a certain type of personality.
With its cliche paintings, weird and cheesy music, and low-down lounge chairs, it is difficult to shake the feeling that you're in a hotel lobby when sitting in Zephyr. But that seems to be the atmosphere they're going for, and it works well if all you want (or need) to do is sit down somewhere quiet and spacious and do some work. There are even some VIP (i.e. private) rooms upstairs that can be used it you're in need of a meeting spot. The drinks, and in particular the juices, are great- but they aren't cheap.

About the book
GHA Janssen ★★★★★
Dit boek geeft overzichtelijk weer, hetgeen over deze moeilijke onderwerpen wordt vermeld.
This book covers the transport of momentum, heat, and mass in non-equilibrium systems. It derives differential balance equations for general properties and introduces the concepts of convective and diffusive flux. These are applied to the conservation of mass. Next, differential force balances are used to develop the governing equations for momentum transport, and includes a discussion of stress and viscosity. Dimensional analysis is discussed. The differential energy balance is then presented, along with Fourier's law. Finally, differential species balances are performed for multicomponent systems, and Maxwell-Stefan diffusion and Fick's law are discussed. An analysis of turbulence and the statistical modeling of its effects on transport is provided. This is followed by a description of boundary layer theory, and then a discussion of the analogies between the transport of momentum, heat, and mass. Finally the two resistance model for interphase mass transfer is presented.

President Bollinger Uses The Military
Columbia University's ban on the ROTC is well known and well publicized. I thus find President Bollinger's extolling of the bravery of American troops at best self-serving.
A number of Columbia graduates and current students are among the brave members of our military who are serving or who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. They like other Americans with sons, daughters, fathers, husbands, and wives, serving in combat rightly see your government as the enemy. Can you tell them and us why Iran is fighting a proxy war in Iraq by arming Shia militia targeting and killing U.S. troops?
Some background on Columbia and the ROTC:
Currently cadets must travel to host institutions in the Bronx weekly to take part in ROTC classes and labs. Yet, despite this extensive time commitment, Columbia does little to support its cadets or assist them with the inevitable scheduling conflicts and administrative issues. Furthermore, Columbia neither grants credit for ROTC courses nor recognizes them as an official part of the students curriculum. It is our aim to change this, and thereby return to Columbia its proud status as a source of great military leadership.
More background here. Given President Bollinger's esteem for the bravery of the troops, perhaps he can use some of his new visibility to press for the immediate return of the ROTC.
I also emphasized President Bollinger's use of the word "rightly." This is the ultimate admission against interest. If Iran is rightly regarded as the enemy, why is Columbia giving the enemy the stage and the audience, the prestige and the credibility?
UPDATE: From PajamasMedia, a lesson for Columbia leadership on how the game really works:
UPDATE: PJM's Ardeshir Arian reports the following from inside Iran regarding Ahmadinejad's speech today:
1) VOA Television nightly services on HotBird and TeleStar 12 satellites were disrupted in Tehran for about 20 minutes, as soon as he was to be introduced at Columbia university's podium. Iranian citizens did not hear the criticism of Ahmadinejad by Columbia President Bollinger. The way the Islamic Republic does this is to scramble the signals of these satellites locally, using stationary and mobile microwave dishes.

The Black family is ecstatic: Son Matthew and his girlfriend, Racquel, are about to deliver the very first grandchild. But squabbling between the two grandmothers threatens to irrevocably divide the family.
The 10th in Roby's (The Reverend's Wife, 2012, etc.) series following the adventures of Rev. Curtis Black (a potentially reformed adulterous minister) focuses on his third wife. Unfortunately, Charlotte is an egocentric, paranoid, mean-spirited woman, which makes for an unpleasant reading experience. Jealous of Racquel's mother, Vanessa, and her access to the baby even before it is born, Charlotte is determined to get her fair share of face time. She wants Curtis to baptize the child, even though Matthew and Racquel have decided upon Pastor Collins; she wants the child called Matthew the Second, even though Matthew and Racquel have chosen Matthew Jr.; she wants to plan his resume, even though Matthew and Racquel plan to give him a loving, accepting extended family. Vanessa tries to block Charlotte, bristling not only at her domineering behavior, but also at her husband's obvious attraction to Charlotte. The two grandmothers' animosity erupts into an altercation at the baby shower, which sends Racquel into premature labor and Vanessa into taking even higher-security measures. Charlotte responds by plotting vengeance. The baby does deserve a better mother, right? Meanwhile, Curtis has troubles of his own as mysterious, threatening messages arrive. Who's trying to blackmail him? Who's trying to destroy his financially lucrative Deliverance Outreach church? Burdened with stiff exposition—summarizing both Charlotte's and Curtis' many transgressions—and flat dialogue, Roby's tale plods along, punctuated with occasional outbursts of excitement.
A soap opera filled with people indulging in bad behavior. Fans of the Black family's misplaced haloes will love this latest installment.

Oklahoma Football
Offensive Coordinator Lincoln Riley Introduction
Jan. 17, 2015
Head coach Bob Stoops' opening statement:
"I am excited to introduce to you guys, guys and ladies, the State of Oklahoma, all of the Sooner fans our new offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley. Lincoln is a guy that has had incredible experience here at a young age. I always look at the quality of experience to go with how much experience a guy has.
"First, I had a direction I wanted to go. I felt through the last several years we have kind of gravitated away from where we started here and that was in a Hal Mumme/(Mike) Leach type system with what we're doing and how we're moving the football. We had some success with it through the years and just little by little here in the last several years we have kind of slowly drifted away from it.
"I had a goal in mind to get back to running that type of system and I felt I got the absolute best guy to do it. He is a guy that has come up through it, understands it inside and out, and has had success running it. He has been the offensive coordinator and play caller for the last five years at East Carolina. I don't have to go into all of the statistics. They were in the top five or six in the country in total offense, they are in the top several in third-down conversions on and on. He is a guy that has been putting it together and they have had a bunch of big victories over the last couple of years. A couple of wins against North Carolina State, a couple of big wins against North Carolina with big scores. They beat Virginia Tech, again putting points on the board. I really felt strongly about his background and the success he has had running his system.
"Again, he's a guy that comes up through a tree that I have had a lot of success with and really believe in and I believe he is the perfect guy to move forward in the direction we want to go. I am very aware, as Lincoln is, the quality of running backs we have here. That will not be a problem. They averaged, I believe, over 160 yards per game rushing a year ago. As bright as Lincoln is, he will find a way to take advantage of the great running backs we have and tailor our offense to the great personnel we have.
"Today is going to be about Lincoln and you guys asking him questions. I will tell you we continue to fill the other two (assistant coaching) jobs. We haven't yet. I am working hard on it and have a strong idea of where I want to go with that, but I'm not ready to expand on that any further. So here I'll open it up to Lincoln and you can make a statement and talk a little bit if you have a few remarks and then you guys can fire away at Lincoln. He is going to take the shots here today."
Offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley opening statement:
"It's absolutely an honor to be here. It's a little surreal to walk in to this environment and this program. It's something that I have wanted for a long time. It's something that my wife and I have been very picky about for the last few years as we have been blessed to have some opportunities. We were looking for a lot of specific things ourselves, like coach said. We were first looking for a great person. I was able to have that with Ruffin McNeil over the last several years at East Carolina and I know what I'm getting into working at Oklahoma with Coach Stoops.
"It's honestly hard to match it. Coming into a program like this, coming to a place that is very committed to what we are going to be doing offensively were things that were very important to me. Having a chance to getting back close to home was a bonus, too. It's been a great ride. Things have happened for me quickly. I have worked hard and I have also been very, very fortunate to work for some great people and to learn from some great people. To be in the right place at the right time, things have kind of just timed out for me. I'm very, very humbled. I'm very, very thankful. I'm very, very excited to get to work here. I just can't wait to get started."
RILEY – On how he takes advantage of his personnel within his system:
"I think that's one of the beautiful things of this offense, is that it can become whatever we need it to become. We'll go recruit certain players for certain positions certainly and we will look at different skill sets but at the same time I don't think that we need a lot of specific things to make it work. Growing up and learning this from Mike Leach and Dana Holgorsen and all of those guys I was able to work with at Texas Tech as I was learning, what I always appreciated was how open-minded they were.
"I think coaches can sometimes be too original with what they are looking for. I think that can limit you because if they personnel doesn't fit exactly what you're looking for you could have a little disconnect there. I love the personnel that we have here from what I have been able to see early. I know we have a lot of good players and we are going to continue to bring in a lot of good players. We're going to take a lot of pride in doing what our guys do well and making sure that our best players touch the ball and that we put our guys in position to make as many plays as they can."
RILEY – On whether he has a goal of running plays in a certain amount of time:
"No, it's more of a feel. How we are moving. Our whole deal is doing what it takes for us to move the ball and that's what we will do. In some situations it's great. In other situations we have to be able to slow it down and run the clock and use the clock. We need to be good at all of them."
RILEY – On how much he has grown as a coordinator:
"A lot. I called the game there after Mike [Leach] got fired there at the Alamo Bowl and I thought, well I can call a football game. I am ready to be an offensive coordinator now. Calling a game is certainly a big part of it, but it is not all of it. The organization, the preparation and choosing which ideas you are going to use and which ideas you are not. There is so much more that goes into it. I was able to learn on the fly. I was very lucky; I was able to learn with a guy that gave me a lot of rope. When I made mistakes he didn't hold me back. He let me make the mistakes and grow. There is no question that I grew a lot in the past five years and I still have some growing to do. I certainly don't have it all figured out, but being able to do that as young as I was, was a blessing."
RILEY – On how difficult it was to move on from East Carolina:
"It was difficult because I had a really strong relationship with those players and the people there. Ruffin [McNeil] were as probably as close as they come, but when coach [Stoops] offered the job it took probably one second."
STOOPS – On Coach Ruffin McNeil selling Coach Riley:
"When I asked Ruffin to talk to Lincoln, he was selling him to me. I said, 'Ruffin I have read all about him.' That's the kind of guy that Ruffin is, he felt like that was a better opportunity for him and he took it."
RILEY – On how important it is to have the wide receivers on the same page:
"It is huge. It will be at all positions. We have to be completely in sync. We first have to do that as a staff, which we will; we already have started on that. That then has to transfer over to the players. When you play as fast as we do there has to be a lot of trust. There has to be a lot of trust with everyone involved with it. That is one nice advantage I have as coaching receivers before moving over to quarterbacks. I think we have a pretty good idea of what we want to do. We are going to get in there with the staff, and it will be a group effort. Really look forward to working with those guys and bounce ideas off each other.
"Bill Bedenbaugh is one of the premier coaches in country. I had a chance to work with him at Texas Tech. That coach is probably as important as there is in college football, that offensive line coach. Cale Gundy has been in this offense. He has obviously been here for 16 years I think now, so he has a strong background. Jay Boulware is a great coach and he can't wait to get started. Then whoever coach chooses to be the receivers coach we will get them implemented. We know that we have a big challenge to get it in, but I think that the receivers, as well as the rest of the offense is going to be very excited about what we are doing. I think we will be excited to get back to it."
STOOPS – On if it was important for him to hire the coordinator before hiring a WRs coach:
"Absolutely, getting Lincoln in here first as our coordinator was our primary goal. Trusting him and us communicating on where we go from there on. Definitely wanted to get that piece set."
RILEY – On if there is a certain style of quarterback he recruits:
"Not really. I just want a player. You can go all done the line and look at all of the different places that have used versions of this offense. We have had tall, short, fast, we had slow. We have got to have a guy that can make decisions. We have got to have the guy that is very accurate with the football. We want a winner. We want a guy that when he is in the huddle, when he is out there playing, the other 10 guys around him are better. If they can do those few things, then we can build around the other characteristics he may have or not have."
RILEY – On how much he's used the QB run game:
"We've used it a little bit. If you go back and look, I think Shane Carden, our quarterback, over three years produced quite a few rushing touchdowns. We've been selective about when we've used it, too. I want to keep those guys healthy. Their number one job is going to be just to read. I do think there's a time and place for it, but we'll look at our personnel and what we have, and if that fits us then we will."
RILEY – On whether his offense will look more like Leach or Holgerson:
"Probably closer, currently, to Dana (Holgorsen). If you were to compare it to Dana's or to Mike's (Leach), it's a little close to Dana's. But if you go back and look at our offense from 2010 to this year at East Carolina, it changed quite a bit there too. Based on personnel and what we could recruit, and what we were playing against, we had to adapt, and again, if I had to tell you what it's going to look like here, I don't know yet. I don't have a clue. We have an idea of what we want to do and the base concepts, but we're going to use this personnel and our best people are going to touch the ball, and we're going to do the best we can to put these kids in a position to succeed."
STOOPS – On the success of East Carolina's offense under Riley:
"First, all of the success we had in running it, and again I'd like to remind everyone that Quentin Griffin was almost a 2,000-yard rusher in this system. Also, if you look at the top total offenses in the country, six of them are from this body of work, from the top 13 offenses in the country, six of them are from this family. That's pretty strong. When I looked at East Carolina, they were in the top six or so in third down conversions, top six in total offense, top five in first downs, and that's moving the ball. Even if you're not scoring, you're moving the football and gaining field position. There's been a consistent success with this type of system in doing that."
STOOPS – On moving forward offensively:
"It's ultimately my fault that we haven't been in it the last several years, and I have a strong feeling and commitment that I want to be back in it the best that we're able to and adapt it to our personnel and what we can do the best."
STOOPS – On if Riley was one of the first guys on his mind:
"Definitely. And, first, it was primarily watching East Carolina – watching them play South Carolina and take them to the wire. Watching them in their bowl game put up points and yards and move the ball against Florida. That was primary, and then the phone calls that lead you to some other people and two guys I've got great trust in this businesses – Hal Mumme and Mike Leach – not only great offensive success stories but people I know. So anyway, along with Kevin Sumlin, anyone you ask about Lincoln, they were excited about him."
RILEY – On how many calls he got after it looked like he'd get the job:
"Man, there was a lot. I think one of you guys may have jumped the gun a little bit so my phone blew up a little bit early. There was a lot; there has been so many. Gil Brandt has become a great mentor and friend. And Donnie Duncan, who guy you guys extremely well. So many. Coach (Mike) Leach, a lot of the guys I've worked with. There was a ton. Just to be associated with the people that I've been lucky enough to be around, I've just been the luckiest coach in the world. I've been able to learn from those guys at such a young age and they've taken a very unselfish interest in me and they've certainly helped me get to this point."
STOOPS – On recommendations he received on Riley:
"I fielded a call from Gil Brandt about five minutes before Lincoln walked in my office. He said, 'Bob, there's a guy that you ought to research, check into and check out.' I said, 'Gil, he's going to walk in my office in five minutes.' He loved that."
RILEY – On how crazy this last week has been for him:
"It's been crazy, but it's been fun. It's pretty fun walking into these high schools with those two letters on your chest and knowing that you have a chance with any player, anywhere, any time. The staff has been great. Cale Gundy has been instrumental in kind of helping me get around and get my bearings. They've got a great recruiting class coming in and we've obviously got a pretty good product we think right now to sell and with what we are going to do offensively, there is a lot of people interested in coming to play here. So it's been a lot of fun, I'm glad we're able to get in and potentially get another guy or two here at the end. But it certainly has been a whirlwind, there's not much time to think. But it's been great."

Well, I'm happy to say that the polka-dot scarves are well under way. I'm only able to weave at this point of my life two nights a week. I'm a full time Mommy and my yarn business brings in the most $$$. I have to weigh it this way until my son goes to Kindergarten in September......and boy oh boy the time sure does fly just like I was warned it would. So, typically I weave on Tuesdays and Fridays in the evening unless I have an 'easy' weave on and my son is shredding papers in the studio for me;) My husband and son went out for a little while on Saturday leaving me home to concentrate on weaving for a hour or two. The Diana is all dressed and I have woven some of the polka dot cloth. As with any new loom, the first project is always the learning project and I usually look back on it and think what I could have done better or should have done differently. I have to say that I was a little nervous about it only due to the fact that the warp that was on the loom was a little sticky and my sheds were not 100%. With dressing the loom with 8/2 tencel for this project, I noticed right away that the threads were not sticking, which is what I figured. Phew! So far everything is dandy and I'm very happy with most aspects of this project considering that I did not take a whole lot of time to plan it. It is basically one color warp and one color weft in a 3/1 twill with a reverse for the dots. The first is a grey and yellow that will be a gift for my Mom. She has been asking for years for a polka dot scarf in grey and yellow and......if she reads this blog, "Here it is;)"
Here is the back of the loom with the threads in the raddle that my darling father in law made for me for my other loom:)
Here is the front of the loom with the threads ready to go on the back beam.
And here we are threading.....I LOVE this part!!!
All threaded!!!
Tension even and tied on the front rod.
Ok... here is a look at the scarves. There ARE a few errors. I'm learning with this new loom that there are a few things that I have to pay attention to. Just like when you drive a new car, there are adjustments to make. With this loom, the shed is limited so my tension is VERY important and that's what I'm working on right now. Naturally when the piece is removed from the loom and wet finished a lot of the pulling that can be seen in the fabric on the front beam will be evened out.
Well, that's it for right now. I'll be back soon with the progress of these scarves;)

How fantastic! I've just been messing around with networked shadow-weave drafts myself... Fascinating, isn't it? I need more shafts! LOL! (Envying your Diana! Sooner or later, I'm going to take the plunge for something with 24 shafts, I think...) Oh and I completely sympathize with the mommy-weaver issues, I'm right there with you, lol!

Love your polka dots! Network drafting is something I want to pursue more. Thank you for the inspiration.

Chapter 68
This week we invite our dear friend Sab (aka Professor Yuri aka @hinikuna_damacy) back to talk shop. Unfortunately, we spent most of the show getting mad about shitty old cartoons.
Darkest Doug Cast, Penelope the Mouse turnt evil, honestly more discussion about the Super Duper Sumo franchise then we'd like to admit, a Nico Yazawa tribute, the cream cheese incident, unicorns keep following me around, Twilight powers, why Gex is more powerful than Bubsy.
