Two more Larkin profiles
by George Malik on 01/29/16 at 11:50 AM ET
Comments (2)
Two more Dylan Larkin profiles popped up overnight. The Detroit News's Gregg Krupa spoke with Larkin's former coach, US NTDP coach Danton Cole, about Larkin's fiery temperament...
At the national training program, sports psychologists talk about it with the young hopefuls: resolving and refocusing raw emotions, especially the urge for retributive violence that often arises in hockey. Cole said the person who worked with Larkin's age group called it "the temperature gauge."
"It can't get too hot. It can't get too cold," Cole said. "You know, it's somewhere in the middle. There is where you've got to find kind of the right temp, where you play your game at.
"I think Dylan has kind of found that. Whereas, before, you know, it was maybe a little too much. I think he's got it in a pretty good spot now, where he's focused. But the compete and the battle is still there."
Krupa continues, and MLive's Brendan Savage both posted a set of Larkin "highlight clips" and he conducted an interview with Red Wings GM Ken Holland regarding Larkin's potential, comparing and contrasting Larkin's rookie season with that of Steve Yzerman:
"I think we all kind of realized early on in Steve Yzerman's career that he was going to be a special player," Holland said. "Now how special? What's he going to accomplish individually and what's he going to lead as he became a captain?
"In Dylan's case, we're all watching. He's got his whole future ahead of him. He's 19 years of age. My take is I guess I live moment to moment because that's my job description. My vision goes out a year. I don't look five and six and seven years.
"My vision goes out this year and into the summertime and the salary cap and what are we looking at into September?"

Early overnight report: On FSD, the follow-on rink, Larkin the All-Star and stats
by George Malik on 01/28/16 at 09:04 PM ET
Comments (5)
Of Red Wings-related note this evening, and of George-related commenting for the evening:
1. As Paul reported, Fox Sports Detroit is going to televise the Wings-Avs alumni game preceding the Stadium Series game between the Red Wings and Avalanche, with the alumni game taking place on February 26th. There's no word as to whether Mickey Redmond, who's coaching the Wings' team, will be on a seven-second delay, but the cast of characters thus far, per MLive's Ansar Khan, reads like a fine group of bleepable folks:
Red Wings color analyst Mickey Redmond, who played for the club from 1970-76, will serve as the head coach and be mic'ed up for player interviews during the broadcast. Ken Daniels will be involved in the play-by-play of the game.
The Alumni Game will consist of three 20-minute periods (running time) and two 12-minute intermissions.
The list of former Red Wings who have committed to play includes Doug Brown, Dino Ciccarelli, Kris Draper, Steve Duchesne, Jiri Fischer, Tomas Holmstrom, Joe Kocur, Martin Lapointe, Nicklas Lidstrom, Kirk Maltby, Darren McCarty, Larry Murphy and Steve Yzerman.
We're still waiting to find out whether Chris Osgood's recovered enough from his hernia surgery to take part in the game...The Free Press's Helene St. James reported that Ty Conklin will be tending the net for the Wings as well.
2. Also as Paul reported, Olympia Development gave the local media a tour of the Red Wings follow-on rink's construction site--on a day that The District Detroit did took press release victory lap about all the contracts it's awarded to Detroit-based or Detroit-owned business--Crain's Detroit Business's Bill Shea took a tour of the site, as did the Detroit News's Louis Aguilar...

Galli: Larkin didn't make the NHL's Breakaway Challenge cut
by George Malik on 01/28/16 at 07:47 PM ET
Comments (4)
I'm just getting home from having my first ever cavity filled and seeing Star Wars (The Force Awakens),* so WXYZ's Brad Galli informs us that Dylan Larkin won't have to deal with the pressure of the NHL's Breakaway Challenge:
Dylan Larkin will not be a part of the NHL's Breakaway Challenge.
It's too bad the guy can't buy a break.
Larkin, 19, is still in Nashville this weekend as the lone All-Star representative from the Red Wings roster.
The rookie lost the online vote for the Breakaway Challenge, falling short to Blue Jackets forward Brandon Saad.
Larkin will still take part in the NHL's All-Star Skills Competition, with six events a part of Saturday night.
I'm fine with the ballots probably being stuffed for the home team--or the "nearby team" in Saad's case...Let the kid enjoy himself.
*Wow, of course!

Detroit/Colorado Alumni Game Will Be Televised
by Paul on 01/28/16 at 03:50 PM ET
Comments (6)
FOX Sports Detroit will televise the 2016 NHL Stadium Series: Alumni Game between the Detroit Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche on Friday, Feb. 26 at 7pm ET.
Red Wings color analyst Mickey Redmond, who played for the Wings from 1970-76, will serve as the head coach and be mic'ed up for player interviews for our broadcast. Ken Daniels will be involved in the play-by-play of the game.
"We are excited to be broadcasting the alumni game of the NHL Stadium Series," said Greg Hammaren, Senior Vice President/General Manager, FOX Sports Detroit. "Our Emmy-winning coverage of our Red Wings Alumni Game as part of the 2014 Winter Classic was spectacular. We are looking forward to another reminiscent game with players like Nicklas Lidstrom, Tomas Holmstrom and Martin Lapointe returning to the ice."
The Alumni Game, hosted at Coors Field, will consist of three 20-minute periods (running time) and two 12-minute intermissions.

It's Beginning To Look Like A Rink
by Paul on 01/28/16 at 03:43 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Bill Shea of Crain's Detroit,
The arena's concrete foundation will be finished in a few weeks. More than 24,000 cubic yards of the required 45,000 cubic yards have been poured thus far, according to data provided by Olympia Development of Michigan, the real estate arm of Red Wings owners Mike and Marian Ilitch's business holdings.
Some of the arena's concrete walls are in place, and the future location of the practice rink on the building's west wide is readily identifiable. Also staked out is the future therapy pool for the team's training and medical area.
The arena's steel and concrete skeleton is rising above the bowl, and will support three levels. Massive concrete elevator shafts also are in place.
Olympia also said 2,400 of the 7,500 pieces of structural steel are in place. Steel work, which began in November, is scheduled to be finished this fall.
The precast concrete is being formed in River Rouge and the initial pieces will be installed by the middle of next month, according to Olympia.
Trusses that will support the roof will be installed beginning in mid-March, Hollister said, and the roof structure should be finished by fall.
The arena is scheduled to be finished in time for the 2017 hockey season. About 200 workers are on-site daily.

Wallner: Daniel Cleary serving a mentorship role in Grand Rapids
by George Malik on 01/28/16 at 12:33 PM ET
Comments (2)
Daniel Cleary has been in and out of the Grand Rapids Griffins' lineup with injuries, but the Grand Rapids Press's Peter J. Wallner reports that Cleary has been a positive influence upon the Griffins' players:
"I'm always watching and talking to the guys on what they can do better positionally, especially with the younger players," he said. "I'm here for a lot of different reasons and one of them being that. I know that, so I just do it."
He added: "There are little tricks you learn that with five, six, seven, eight years playing pro where you have more time to think. Like better stick position in the D-zone. Just some minute adjustments that can really help a player out. It takes time, man. It takes time. You work hard at your craft, you be a good teammate and you shut your mouth. First guy on, last guy off. That pays off. It does."
Coach Todd Nelson likes the knowledge he brings and hopes to have Cleary use it on the ice soon, too.
"Obviously, Danny was a part of that nice stretch we had there," the coach said of a franchise record 15 game win streak. "He was a big part of that. He has a presence on and off the ice. He's close. Now it's a matter of getting him in game shape."
Wallner continues, and he posted a short video of Cleary rehabbing his knee on ice:

Compared with the early, early spring of 2012, the days leading up to spring of 2013 are unfolding in a more normal fashion in my Connecticut gardens. Last March for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day I had small masses of newly planted crocus (Crocus tommasinianus 'Ruby Giant')
and my earliest narcissi, Tete-a-Tete's, in bloom.
For this Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, kindly hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens, I have just a couple of small crocus blossoms to show and the Tete-a Tete's are still buried under a mound of snow left from the February blizzard and the 17-inch snowfall we had last week.
But other crocus are poking through winter-weary leaf cover, promising more color to come.
It looks like the first day of spring will be a cold one in Connecticut. These bulbs poking out of the ground in south-facing gardens are a reminder that warm spring sunshine is not too far off.
Now, if you head over to May Dreams Gardens you will find out what is blooming in gardens elsewhere. Have fun!Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2013 Joene Hendry

Nick Blaemire & The Hustle EP, "Headturner" Video
Tracked a new record with Nick Blaemire & The Hustle that comes out this Monday. Vocal driven with thick grooves and red hot horn charts by Jesse Vargas, we'll be playing a CD release party this Monday 3/12 at the Mercury Lounge in NYC, and Nick (also of Godspell infamy) just released a video of the lead-off track, "Headturner":
Next Tuesday, I head down to Austin, Texas to rock South By Southwest with The Morning Code, and then I hop on over to Miami to play at PAX with Del Exilio, followed by a stop in Atlanta. Looking forward to a good dose of Southern air and some great music in all three spots!

To be fair, this is only online and I haven't gotten to really know anyone. However, I just started online dating and it seems the guys who are interested in me are totally creepy. And fyi my photos are very clean and respectable and I'm fully covered.
Guys seem to come on so strong and it completely turns me off, is online dating always like this?
Most Helpful Guy
Yep its where the crazies prowl00|00|1
Most Helpful Girl
yep, it usually is like that. Another thing that happens most of the time that is infuriating, is when you will become interested in someone and start to only talk to them and then they are still seeing other women. it is hard to date online, but sometimes you end up with someone that is truly special. i wish you the best of luck and hope you meet the right guy.11|00|0

Consolidating or refinancing of loans without collateral "refinansiering av lån uten sikkerhet" can be the start of your financial freedom. It is a long process and it doesn't always yield the quick results you deserve, but it is certainly a step up from having to file for bankruptcy. There are plenty of things you need to know about this process before you get started.
Consider a bill consolidation loans without collateral "lån uten sikkerhet" service to help with your monthly debt. When you seek to consolidate consumer loans "forbrukslån", paying monthly bills to individual companies can create confusion and missed payments. Use a consolidation service that will pay these providers for you. You supply them with one lump sum each month and they will quickly dole it out for you automatically.
Following debt consolidation, budgeting your money wisely will help you keep future debt to a minimum. Most people get in over their heads by over spending with credit cards "kredittkort", so learn to work with money you have rather than borrowing. Doing this will also make it easier to pay off your debt consolidation loans and improve your credit score.
Before going with any specific debt consolidation company, check their records with the Better Business Bureau. There are a lot of sketchy "opportunities" in the debt consolidation business. It's easy to go down the wrong path if you aren't careful. The BBB and its reports can help you weed out the bad from the good.
If you are a homeowner and have lots of equity in it, try taking out a line of credit or home equity loan. This can help you use use that money for nearly anything you desire, including debt consolidation, and the interest paid is tax-deductible. This will help you save money in multiple ways.
If you have a life insurance policy, you may could possibly borrow the money against your policy. Even though you are not required to pay back the amount, it is recommended that you do. Whatever amount you withdraw will be deducted from the final amount paid to your beneficiaries.
Be sure your first talk with a credit counselor or debt consolidation agent happens for free. They should be able to do a preliminary analysis of who you owe, how the company can help you, and what options are available. If you cannot get a simple introductory session, look elsewhere.
When consolidating your debt, it is extremely important to find a reputable, respected debt consolidation company. Before hiring a debt consolidation company, consider how long the company has been in business, the company's perceived reputation and the amount of money that the company charges in fees. Shop around to find a debt consolidation company that meets your needs.
Pay attention to both privacy and security practices when choosing a debt consolidation company. Read over the terms and conditions as well. If there is something you're not comfortable with, ask questions, and move on if need be to find a better company for your needs. There is no reason to settle.

Why did God create anything?
It seems a bit strange doesn't it, to say God is completely self-contained, perfect, all knowing, all powerful, existing eternally, no beginning, no end, but for some inexplicable reason created the universe (or other universes).
For God to create anything is bizarre. It would suggest God has some sort of external want that needs to be fulfilled, but that's completely inconsistent with classical theism.
Then it gets even stranger when Christian theology comes into the mix, that God is actually moved by human beings praying to him, following his commands, all the while knowing the entire of history and what would happen before he created anyone! How can a perfect being who is completely fulfilled by his own nature be happy that his creation is doing what he knew they would do?
I think it's time to put away the anthropomorphic God, and anyone who defends belief in God shouldn't base it so much off of humanity.
God is consciousness. Actually I have heard that the consciousness of "mother" nature imagined everything. But He had to have imagined the force of nature, Himself…
Why? out of boredom of course! How entertaining is it to watch Nature. How entertaining is it to watch each couple raise a child and see, (He is omnipresent) what each child does with his or her life on this amazing earth.
(Yes, we imagine God to be a thinking individual. How else can we think of God, as we are so identified with our individuality.)
It seems that the brain is an amazing gift that each soul has been given. Within boundaries of morals and ethics we have free will to develop the talents and skills we want to develop based on the joy within us. Perhaps He wanted to share His Joy. But we are not stuck here in material consciousness. There is a way to go back to God. That way is what Jesus was teaching… "heaven is within."
And it is all a mystery and that's good.
Kathryn, consciousness is defined as the condition of being conscious : the normal state of being awake and able to understand what is happening around you, a person's mind and thoughts.
If a person is in a coma, they are not conscious. Essentially, you are saying that if a Christian is in a coma, they are not conscious, hence have no God, yet an atheist who is conscious has God. Do you not see how ridiculous your statement?
Yet, people who believe in souls aren't using that amazing gift.
No, Kathryn has invented a new definition, a thing, she calls Consciousness. It sounds to me something like the cloud - an undefined "something", but definitely connected to the minds or souls of humans just as the cloud is connected to your computer.
The only difference is that we know exactly what the cloud is, while consciousness is a vague, undefined thing we know nothing about.
uh... my cloud is often connected to my computer!
consciousness is awareness which is connected to the brain. In fact, the Creator made the brain for Individual Consciousness (soul) to operate/funtion on the physical plane.
Furthermore, I don't believe the brain is a product of evolution. It is more advanced than we are.
Our parents didn't teach us how to use it much cuz they weren't taught and there you have it, down through the ages.
- unless we descended from a race of super-beings, but have been dumbing down ever since.
But Kathryn, you have made it evidently clear you have no clue what evolution is about, so how you can you even comment on it?
I believe in evolution as guided by Mother Nature, a very savvy involved force. Mother nature is evidence of spirit. hmmm I have some updating to do… thanks for reminding me.
Believe as you wish; 100% of all evidence collected to date is that evolution produced the brain. Doesn't mean you have to believe it, though - if you can convince yourself otherwise in the face of that evidence, go for it.
Similar for a Creator or a soul. Zero percent of evidence indicates that either exists, but you may again believe as you wish. People very often make up their own, personal, reasons to believe something if it makes them feel good to do so.
But parents DID teach us at least a little on the use of our brain, and that is increasing as we learn more. They taught us things they had learned, knowledge to embed in our brain. They now teach us to think, although it's coming slow and late ("they" being schools and teachers).
well, my father taught me 0 about playing piano although he is a piano playing whiz... set a metronome in front of me and took off. (Tennis too. never once did he bring me to the courts.)
hmpph. no wonder I went wild in high school out of sheer boredom! (along with the rest of them. teenage wasteland for sure, back then.)
- And even less about finances, money, or true survival!
Hint to fathers: help your girls toward this end, just in case they would prefer to be independent.
Maybe fathers are educating their daughters more in this day and age.
Well good!
No need to teach girls that stuff. They are to remain barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, forever subservient to their husbands. So sayeth the bible (or at least the priests "interpreting" it).
Really? ...and yet girls are/seem smarter than boys as children.
That's what my sources tell me
isn't it evolution that has females dumbing themselves down from ages 15-25?
Doubt it. Were that true, they would be unable to feed themselves by now.
More likely it is a physical reaction of high heels and corsets.
Was your father an atheist?
(...he is now.
raised to be a good catholic. he originally wanted to be a priest but knew he wanted a family. he has become a full-on atheist after years of searching for truth. He exposed me to amazing sources of truth and then left them all.
It happens.)
In the beginning there was nothing. Nothing, by definition, has no limits. It has no anything. So there was nothing to stop something from happening. So something happened. And that, children, is how the universe began; or as the Kabbalists Say:
The three veils of negative existence (which symbolise the beginning of creation) are:
Ayin: No thing
Ayin Soph: No limits; limitlessness; aka the eternal
Ayin Soph Aur: Limitless light; eternity unified with itself; God
...nothing to to stop something from happening? ...this does not make sense to me. But, thanks for this explanation!
I believe the cloud of God with all his awareness was bored and all alone…. and just started creating things because he could. It all started with a spark of his own essence… light.

So you'd like to take-up golf? Or you're a hacker like the rest of us? Maybe you've been playing awhile and hit a plateau in your play…Well join the club! Golf is really, really hard and I've found there is no silver bullet to rapidly improve your game.
I have been playing golf for almost twenty years and have some really good days and some not so good days. But there are some basic fundamentals I've learned over the years to help me take the frustration out of my game:
1. Take a lesson
Find yourself a good pro and take a lesson. If you're starting from scratch, this will help you avoid learning a bunch of poor swing habits. Some community colleges offer courses like Golf 101, which could help defray some of the costs of a private lesson.
If you are further along with your skill-set, be wary of the local pro that might witness you on the range and say something to the effect that he or she has to "rebuild" your swing. When something like that happens (like it has to me), ask them how many lessons that rebuilding process is going to take. If they say anything like two or three lessons, tell them you'll think about it. Rebuilding a "swing" is a process that could take an entire summer's worth of lessons. So in those cases, they're just trying to sell a few lessons.
Everybody's swing is different and I've found a good instructor will build on the foundation of your swing and tweak it to gain consistency. Also there is a host of online materials that show you the basic fundamentals of the golf swing, like the one plane take away etc. Keep in mind these are businesses trying to sell you something as well.
2. Practice, practice, practice
Before you head-off to the driving range and just blast through a bucket of balls, you should practice with purpose. There are some techniques you can do to maximize your VPT (Valuable Practice Time).
The two main types of practice drills I've learned for the range are "Block" training and "Section" training. Block training is when you go through every club in your bag and hit a number of balls with each (I usually hit 5 balls per club – allowing an extra ball or two to not end on a bad shot). In this drill, I'll usually start with my wedges and hit up through my bag, ending with my driver. This type training is good for shaking off the rust and gaining muscle memory.
The other driving range drill is "Section" training. As golf is a thinking game as much as a skill game, "Section" training is where you play a practice round in your head. You could even bring a scorecard from a favorite course and "walk" yourself through each hole. If you leave the range after "Section" training feeling uncomfortable, you've done your job! This drill can pay-off dividends on the course. And, don't forget to hit the putting green after the range.
Reality check: Never assume you'll hit good out on the course just because you were hitting them straight on the range…That's the longest walk in golf. And keep in mind the pros have swing coaches and practice several hours a day because that's their job. Most of us have non-golf-related careers and/or commitments and can't spend the majority of the day at the range (if you like getting paychecks that is).
3. Play the shot not the score
No too long ago, playing "bogey" golf was a good respectable score. It wasn't until the advent of modern professional golf that birdies and eagles became common occurrences. I always try and play a par four as a par five and I get less frustrated that way. Also, the wonders of the handicap system turns a gross bogey into a net par.
If you become too fixated on the score, you'll have a tendency to force shots that could lead to more errors and heightened frustration.
Here's a little secret to the way your mind works: You remember your birdies on a really hard hole, but mostly your subconscious remembers the great recovery shot you made after a really bad tee shot or second shot. Remember, golf is a game of recovery and there are many factors outside your control when playing (e.g. weather, mood, pace of play) that effect the round.
Know your limitations and don't be so hard on yourself if you hit a bad shot. Stay positive and the scores will come – Bogey golf is still a good and respectable score for the average golfer.
4. Set realistic goals for yourself
Successful people set goals for themselves and find ways to obtain those goals. This is true in life as well as golf. Over the years, I set simple goals for my golf game and strived to meet them. One such goal was to play the same round with the same ball (took a few years but I finally did it)! Another was to break a hundred, which took a little bit longer to achieve. I have other goals, which I continue to work on to this day (e.g. hit fairways and greens in regulation, etc.).
Don't be afraid to go out to your local course and play a practice round where you can use the whole scorecard to note tee shot, club hit & yardage, fairway hit <y/n>, greens in regulation <GIR> <y/n>, and number of putts. I have a local nine-hole course I use when I feel my swing slipping away. I feel totally comfortable playing there and I track my game and feel this helps me regain my confidence.
5. Have fun
Golf is supposed to be a fun and social sport. Most will not have the time nor skills to turn pro. Remember most pros practice hours a day with their caddies and swing coaches, as well as sport therapists. Ben Hogan reportedly hit 700-800 golf balls a day!
So our focus should be to have fun out there; play to our skill level; respect the rules; and exhibit etiquette for other players. Try not take it too seriously when you hit a bad shot and don't let others' negativity bring you down.
Enjoy the game of golf – it's the most frustrating game you'll ever love!

How could a person describe the concept of a worldview?Faith, Learning, and the Christian Worldview states, "A worldview is a set of assumptions or beliefs about reality that affect how a person...
Faith, Learning, and the Christian Worldview states, "A worldview is a set of assumptions or beliefs about reality that affect how a person think and how people live.
- print Print
- list Cite
The term is fairly well described in the subtext to the question. One important addition might be that a person uses this "set of assumptions and beliefs" to provide a framework within which they can understand their world. The concept of a worldview does not mean that a person has all the answers, but it does set the context, or even the limits, of how a person might attempt to answer the questions they face in their lives.
For example, thinking about fundamental issues relating to life's meaning might entail an entirely different intellectual approach for one who has a Christian, or more broadly, a religious worldview, than one who does not. A person with a religious worldview would assume that the answers to the fundamental questions in their lives can be pursued (though not necessarily answered) through religion. So a worldview is, in a sense, a framework for understanding the world, and some of the beliefs, attitudes that comprise a worldview are not really conscious.
Indeed a fine answer/respons above!
One could also say that in a spiritual/subconscious or intuitive sense, a 'worldview' is our individual perception of the world as seen/coloured by factors such as our beliefs, background/upbringing, education, experiences in life and so on.
It is a 'cognitive' concept, you see, to do with the subconscious as much as the conscious levels of being/existing.

Have you thought about how much money you could be making by maximizing your online presence? No one knows for sure, but what you can begin by assessing your business costs, and one of the most important for an online business is your web hosting bill. Check out the tips in this article to stretch your web hosting dollars as far as you can.
What types of sites does your hosting site offer? Some of the free sites may merely offer static pages. This would mean that you could not add your own scripts. If you need a scripting page that is dynamic, you probably need to find a pay host instead.
Web hosts usually offer add-ons with their packages, the features differ between each host. As you compare your options, you should also take into consideration the expected service levels and support for each of the most important features. For instance, one company's low hosting price might rise once you add a certain feature, while another company has that feature in one of its packages for a low price.
If you are looking for a hosting company, make sure that you look into a variety of different recommendations first. Taking two reviews on a company and using those to make your final decision can be detrimental to your choice because that's not enough different sources to truly know whether or not the hosting agency is truly that good or that bad.
You need to decide whether you should select shared or dedicated hosting. A large, complex site or e-commerce endeavor may benefit from dedicated hosting, to prevent a slow experience for your customers. It's a wise idea to find a dedicated host.
Register domains separately from your hosting provider. That way, if there's trouble between you and your hosting provider, your host won't try to hold your domain name hostage. If only your host controls your domain registration, you will not be able to use it any longer.
Choosing a web host which is physically located in the same country as your visitors will boost the speed of your website dramatically. If you're targeting folks in the UK, your hosting plan's data center should also be there.
Ask any potential web host what type of security system they have in place to protect your website. Websites are vulnerable to a number of different types of attacks, making security a reasonable concern. It's important that your host will protect you by upgrading your software, advising you of security holes and taking care of DDoS attacks. Ask what sort of safeguards are in place against attacks such as DDoS events and how they will be dealt with if they occur.
Carefully screen the companies you are interested in. Rates can range from $2 to $60 per month — and it's often the cheaper models that are the most reliable. Don't pay for levels of service that are beyond your requirements.
As you now know, there are a lot of things that will effect prices on web hosting. Take the time to consider your options and choose a web hosting service that provide you with all the features you need at a price you can afford.

One of the top wide receivers in the state next year will be San Diego (Calif.) Westview's Daniel Lofton. Lofton has a trio of scholarship offers and a solid top five at this time.
Lofton, 6-1, 195 pounds played his junior year at Poway before transferring recently to Westview. Poway is known predominately as a running team and as a result, Lofton hasn't put up the gaudy numbers you might expect from someone with his talent. The receiver caught 23 balls for 493 yards and a touchdown his sophomore year and then caught 18 balls for 450 yards and three touchdowns this past season.
Lofton has some serious connections to Stanford, which have already been well documented. His father father James played for the Cardinal and his older brother David is a current member of the team as well.
"I just want to go in a different direction," Lofton said. "It's nothing against Stanford but I just want to go somewhere and make a name for myself."
In watching film on Lofton, he shows good speed and can definitely get deep although we would like to see him use his hands a little more rather than his body to catch the ball. On the recruiting front, Lofton said he has offers from San Diego State, San Jose State and Duke and is hearing from several others.
"I'm hearing from all of the Pac 10 plus Kansas, Michigan State, Alabama, Colorado and Florida," Lofton said. "UCLA is my top school followed by Cal, Kansas, San Diego State and USC. I'm going to camp with UCLA and Cal and will also attend the Nike Camp at USC. The main things I'm looking for in a school are academics, location and the coaching staff and what kind of relationship I have with them."
Lofton is also getting looks in track and personal bests of 10.8 in the 100m, 22.6 in the 200 and 49.2 in the 400m. Academically, he's carrying a 3.0 GPA and will take the SAT later in the year.

If the available settings don't yield satisfactory results, you can experiment with a Custom DPI Setting
Using a custom DPI setting
If one of the available DPI settings doesn't yield satisfactory results or if you just want to experiment a little, you can click Set custom text size (DPI). When you do, you'll see the Custom DPI Setting dialog box, as shown.
There are several ways that you can create a custom DPI setting. First, you can use click the drop down arrow and select one of the preset percentages from the list, you can type a percentage value in the text box, or you can click and drag the ruler to increase the DPI to whatever percentage that you want. As you can see the default setting is 100% which is 96 DPI. At the bottom of the ruler you'll see some example text that shows you what the 9-point Segoe UI font will look like at 96 pixels per inch - which essentially is 96 DPI. Table A lists all of the preset percentages in the drop down list and the accompanying DPI setting.
Table A
DPI Setting
It's a good idea to give a couple of the preset percentages a try before you begin using the ruler method. Doing so will allow you to determine a baseline that you can then use to set your custom percentage.
To use the ruler method, just click on the number 1 and drag to the right. As you do, you'll see the percentage increase and the example text changes to keep pace with the increase.
Keep in mind that if you use a DPI setting higher than 96, the text and other graphical items in programs that are not designed to work with the DPI scaling engine might appear blurry. To compensate for those types of programs, Windows 7 incorporates a backward compatible DPI scaling feature that will kick in when you run those programs. As such, it is advisable that you leave the Windows XP style DPI scaling check box selected.

Press the "Start" button and open the Win operating system main menu and look for the team «Run".If your computer is running Windows XP or Vista, you will see it in the right-hand column, and in Windows 7 with default settings in this menu, it does not appear.But in the "seven" you can use the search engine.Type in the search term "The compensation" and the link "Run" appears in the top line of the search results.In either version of the choice of this line will result in a dialogue on the screen to run programs.

When you enter a command, keep in mind: if it involves any manipulation stored in computer files should specify the full path to it.This means that we must enter a drive letter, the entire hierarchy of directories on the path from the root directory, and the full name of the file.For example, to delete a file with the name of the folder test.gif RelMedia, embedded in the Sources folder on drive F, it is necessary to enter: del F: SourcesRelMedia est.gif.
If team supposed to perform quite often, there is no need to enter each time manually.Write down everything you need in a file and perform a double-click in the file manager, or place it on your desktop, and then we can do even without a "conductor".To prepare such a file, open a text editor and write the first line of the desired command .
If multiple commands, put one in each row.Then save the document with the extension bat - it is in the registry reserved for files with sets of dos-commands.

Tips For Finding Your Proper SequenceOur Golf Pro, Shanon Hoyt, explains how the Step Drill can help better your sequence.
One of the most common mistakes a golfer will make is in their sequencing. This means that once they get to the top of their backswing, they pull their arms and club down first, leading to many more mishits.
Golf Pro Shanon Hoyt demonstrates the Step Drill, a simple drill that will help your body understand the proper sequence of movements, from the top of the backswing all the way to the follow-through.

Hello blogging friends :)
It's time for the July's interview. Our featured artist of July is Aida Castellano. I'm very exited especially since she is the first doll-artist in this series of interviews.
I've seen Aida's dolls in Etsy many times and I love how all her creatures and characters have very different personalities.
Please tell us about yourself and what kind of artist you are?
Hello Everybody! My name is Angela but I sign myself as Aida. I was born in Genoa (Italy) in 1984. I'm a scene painter, set and costume designer. I remember that already when I was a child, I went to my mother and said to her: "I need to create something but I don't know what". I still remember that sensation. It was so frustrating because the need was so big and I was not able to find the right way to express myself. I'm a multifaceted artist and I'm able to use many techniques and many materials, probably this is why, when I was a child, I was not always fulfill using just pencils, tempera or modeling clay.
How did you started your artistic career?
Work in the theater was really great, you are always stimulated, and at any experience you can learn something new from others. It was really helpful for upgrading my artistic skills.
I still remember the exact moment when I decided to create my first fairy
The sister of my boyfriend at that time, was teaching in decoupage course, I was sitting at the same table and I was working some puppets for the theater play. I still remember the amount of appreciation that came for my work. She was speaking with her students how much she loved collecting fairies. Christmas was coming... and the fairy was done!
Of course most people would have thought of buying one of those classic fairies in resin. The problem is that I never liked them!
I love fairies and elves, I also bought several of them, but I am very picky and selective, I thought I could do something better and create something truly unique. I've always seen those reproductions too much cold, without care and attention. I decided to work with the details, to make her warm, alive!
Over time I created other fairies, elves and other characters of the little people always tried to keep them as much as possible linked to nature, with elegant and floral dresses and earth colors. I know that is one of the things that many of my customers appreciate..
The Idea of selling them was born during a trip to Ireland, the land of Sidhe, where the little people live. Several shops showed interest on my work and there came the first orders. Following the success I moved to Ireland where I lived for two years. From Ireland I started the business on Etsy and started to collaborate with some of the pagan shops and introducing new products in my shop.
You can say that the name of the store was born itself.
For many it might seem that there is a spelling mistake, but it's not. The inspiration comes from a text:
"a song sung dismally by a ghost" from "What d'ye call it: A Treagi-Comi-Pastoral France" by Mr.Gay - Volume 3 The world of Fairys, in addition, unlike "Fairies" or "Faeries" more common and used, also with search engines.
What are the things that inspire you? do you have message in your art?
For me creating these objects really has something magical and I feel that when I'm creating them that I'm in an enchanted forest in perfect harmony. I think that each object is the most beautiful and unique of it's kind, the antagonist of mass production and to disposable. Trough them I want to bring the pleasure of that forest in to your home. Also as a stage and costume designer, I think that each object, as well as being well designed and aesthetically beautiful, it must be especially well done.
As an artist I look for inspiration and innovation, something unspeakable and unexpected, that can give emotions.
I work a lot on the details, because I know that they are what makes them so special. There is a great culture about fairies and I love to follow it. Especially if linked to the Celtic culture. In all my puppets you will find a lot of little details that will remind you something about the legend of Celtic divinity. They always have something more of what you can see at the first moment and they perfectly reflect their nature. You will have the one that brings luck to your life (Leprechauns) , or strength (like Werewolves), happiness and protection (like Fairies) or bit of zest (like Spriggans or Goblins).
I can't say what makes me to create, I just have a need to create. I can see something interesting and I get lot's of ideas to my mind, like if the fairies come to whisper my ears how they want to be created. My dream is to be able to work one day for some big animation company. "Labyrinth" and the "dark Chrystal" movies have always been great sources of inspiration.
Any advice for starting artists?
Never stop experimenting, increase your cultural awareness, be curious and investigate all that surrounds you. Do not be afraid of being judged for your eccentricities and do not let the opinions of other hinder you. Do not loose your heart of failure, it's always a one step more in your "personal luggage".
Let your mind flow and be open to inspiration, don't miss your path and be focused on your goals.
Thank you so much Aida for this great interview. After reading your thoughts I'm very eager to try doll making myself. You're great inspiration to us all!

Monitoring of heat exchanger leaks in paper plant
The Situation
A paper plant in the Eastern United States uses 500 gallons per minute filtered pond water for cooling lubricating oil in its paper line. The resulting warmed water is diverted to an onsite pond. Because the water is used to cool lubricating oil, the plant could not reuse the water in its pulping process for fears of possible oil contamination of the paper pulp.

Against the Country | Ben MetcalfJanuary 6, 2015
My review of Ben Metcalf's Against the Country ran today in the Boston Globe.
In college, I once received a note from a professor: "Embrace the beauty of the simple sentence." I laughed. I knew what he meant. I also had no intention of taking his note. I love rich, complex sentences that pack a lot of ideas into a single thought.
I like them in the literature I read, and, perhaps unwisely, I like to use them in the writing I do (though in recent years, I've tried to be more mindful of my professor's words).
Ben Metcalf clearly loves thick, complex prose. And he's pretty good at writing it, too. Looking back at his essays for Harpers, they're full of the same kind of long, elaborate sentences and descriptions that make up the core of his first novel, Against the Country. But it's one thing to make that style (and its accompanying cynical tone) work over the course of a 5,000 word essay. It's quite another to keep it up for several hundred pages.
Against the Country is the story of an unnamed narrator's difficult childhood in Goochland County, Virginia, a rural backwater depicted in the most hyperbolic manner imaginable, to better express the protagonist's belief that it is hell on Earth. Metcalf's prose is the star of the book. Far more so than the main character, who comes off as relentlessly grim and unlikeable, or the general thrust of the narrative, which is that rural communities are full of barely human idiots.
But after two-hundred pages or so, it becomes tiring to fight your way through his admittedly fascinating prose only to end up at some dismal dead end, rewarded only with another sullen conclusion that someone is a moron. At least in the beginning, the examination of Goochland's strange folkways is interesting, in much the same way that gawking at a car crash has some macabre appeal. Once the book narrowed its focus, however, to the relationship between the narrator and his father, the stylized prose wasn't enough to maintain my interest.
The book closes with a ponderous appendix that gives short biographies of all the dogs owned by the narrator's family. I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a parody of Faulkner's appendix to The Sound and the Fury, but I figure it must be. It felt really superfluous, so I found myself reaching for some rationale for its inclusion. That's the best I could come up with.

How to Make "Steamed Milk"
There's nothing like warm milk! Heat yours in the microwave for one minute and 30 seconds, then put it into something like the Magic Bullet with a flat blade. Let it mix for a few seconds. Be careful when opening. You will have milk with foam! Or you can purchase an inexpensive milk frother from IKEA.

I know people get labeled The Next Big Star all the time, but believe me when I say that Raffey Cassidy is going places! In every single scene she was in she stole it. Her performance was so captivating and she's just a sweetheart in person. When I was out for the #tomorrowlandEvent we were able to interview her. Check it out below:
Q: What got you into acting at such a young age?
Raffey: Well my brother went for an audition, and then they kind of asked me if I wanted to have a go at that. So I had to go and then in kind of started from there. (For Tomorrowland) I just went up for like an audition, but it was a self-tape at home and then I went to London to do another screen test. Then I went to America to do another screen test and then I found out that I got the part.
Q: What was your take away from the movie?
Raffey: That everybody should be very optimistic and feel that there's a way around situations if they're in a bad situation. There's always a bright side.
Q: How did you feel about your costumes in the movie?
Raffey: I loved them. The blue dress. If you look closely, that was actually algorithms in, in algebra.
Q: You had a lot of action scenes where you had to do martial arts. Did you have to train for that?
Raffey: Yeah, I trained for two months in gymnastics and martial arts, and then I went to Canada and did another month of martial arts and a bit of gymnastics. Then I did throughout the months of filming, I did another couple of days every, every week or so.
Q: So what were your feelings on driving the truck and learning to do all that and working with George?
Raffey: I really enjoyed it. It was so fun. They actually taught me how to drive and, and there was a scene where I had to like go down a ramp and then stop. I think really I started to get a little too confident, and I got too close. Britt just went stop, because it got so close. [LAUGHING.]
I'd seen the Descendants and I really, really liked it. I learned, and I learned so much from him. He's so professional but really fun at the same time.
Q: How did you train to play a robot?
Raffey: Well, I mean, Athena has so many different qualities. She's optimistic. She's intelligent. She's wise, and I just kind of put all of those together, and I always had an image in my head for a scene, so, so it was never just go in cold into it and trying to create one in my head. I always had an image that would just help me and I'd always be able to think of to get me through this.
Q: You filmed in a few different locations. Did you have a favorite?
Raffey: Probably the Eiffel Tower, I mean, because that was an actual thing that Tomorrowland had recreated and it, it was just so real and very cool.
Q: So how was it almost having to be the adult in the film? I mean, especially George tends to joke a lot.
Raffey: Athena is kind of the mom of the whole gang. She looks after Casey and Frank, trying to bring them together to help him save the world. That kind of becomes, through their adventure, they would become like all family.
There was this one time when, this was kind of towards the start of the shoot when, we pulled upon a black monorail and the doors would open, and the camera would be there watching us. So George thought I would be funny if we all ran to the side of the monorail and the doors would open and nobody would be there. So we did it, and in the camera, everybody went wait, where they all gone? [LAUGHING.]
So grab the family and head on out to check out Raffey as Athena and let me know if you think she was a scene stealer too!

Saco viu ? Muito saco cheio. A neve já me cansou. Ou e' o tremendo perigo de andar de carro ou eu vou com kids pela rua totalmente rigida e empedrada de frio trincando os maxilares a cada passo.
Folks, the last days have been SO *%$#! cold. Cold but ok - no snow. All the signs were indicating spring was slowly coming around the corner. My bulbs at home were already showing their shapes and colours and I was planning to storage my heaviest coats. And attack the plants in the back yard in order to prepare them for the spring sun. Pure ilusion. When I woke up this morning: tada ! Snow everywhere in the back yard. Just like Marcella had told me months ago: "white shit". Then I have two options: or slowly and dangerously driving with the car or go walking feeling the cold while pushing a buggy.
Rio etc.

Next Steps
The power of collective wisdom
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than the one where they sprang up. —Oliver Wendell Holmes
To achieve significant reductions in surgical site infection and surgical complication rates
To achieve significant improvements in safety culture
1 in 25 people will undergo surgery
7 million (25%) in-patient surgeries followed by complication
1million (0.5 – 5%) deaths following surgery
50% of all hospital adverse events are linked to surgery AND are avoidable
* N Engl J Med; 370;4:341-351. (January 23, 2014)
A study that retrospectively examined a random sample of records for 61,523 hospitalized patients across 4,372 hospitals.
Patients examined were those with acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, and those with conditions requiring surgery.
Adverse event-rates has declined significantly from 2005-2011 for those with myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure.
Adverse event rates remained steady for those patients that had conditions that required surgery; rates of infection-related and post-procedural adverse events increased among patients who required surgery.
Has increased compliance in SCIP measures reduced SSI rates in your organization?

Cross Axial Rotation problems with FloWorks
Hello community, I've just started modeling an in-conduit cross axial turbine using FloWorks. I'm a newbie at CFD and have been having trouble assigning a rotating region(RR) around the turbine in the pipe. I have successfully assigned a cylindrical region around the turbine but the geometry of the pipe intersected with the RR. The results were terrible showing that the RR almost acted like physical wall.
The turbine is spherical, so I have created a sphere to enclose the turbine and define the RR, but FloWorks does not recognize this as a legitimate boundary for a RR. I have been reading a bit about how FloWorks computes around the RR, and it is my understanding that the geometry of the RR should be axisymeterical to the physical geometry in close proximity. This is not possible with a cross axial turbine.
Am I simply going about this the wrong way i.e. is there a simpler more beautiful way to do this, or is FloWorks the problem?
Pipe means shaft??? Could you upload your model picture?
No, pipe doesn't mean shaft.
What I have is a turbine inside of a pipe, and it is rotating about an axis that is perpendicular to the flow. The turbine is spherical in shape.
My problem is that a rotating region surrounding the turbine is not axisymmetrical to the flow in the pipe, and that seems to be the problem. I can not change the design, so either FloWorks doesn't do cross-axial rotating regions or I'm going about this the wrong way

It's day two of taking photos outside and little kids were staring at me. I swear I was going 5o get jumped by 6 year olds because I'm hanging out in their territory. Shit was getting real for 0.6 seconds lol. It feels like Fall is officially here with 75 (F) degrees weather and a slight breeze.
With this glorious weather upon Johnson County I still managed to get sick. I just want to eat ice cream all day and sleep, but that really isn't going to help me. ;___;

I got my Deandri harness today! I'm so in love! I've been wanting a harness for so long but was always too broke to get one. Now that I have one, expect to see it a lot as part of my major fall staples of the year. I paid $45 + shipping and it was a today priority mail. It has re-adjustable straps so it can fit you to the T (I think that's how the phrase goes lol. Do I smell a IFTU coming????
