If you have been watching the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada on television over the past two weeks, as Bob and I have been most nights, you may have noticed during many of the events that when the athletes have completed an event (whether timed, judged or both), that a red bar shows up on the bottom of the screen with the last letter of the Greek alphabet (a horse shoe symbol) and the word for that letter "Omega." I keep noticing it during different events and it has struck me for some reason.
In addition to watching Olympic hockey, skating, skiing and snowboarding, last week Bob and I met with a Pediatric Geneticist, that our children's' pediatrician kindly referred us to. This genetic specialist had spent a lot of time prior to our appointment reviewing our history, especially that of our daughter Molly's diagnosis and post-mortem (autopsy) report. The purpose of the meeting, or so we thought, was to get the doctor's take on whether or not it makes sense for us to consider trying again someday with the three remaining frozen embryos we have from our unsuccessful IVF cycles in 2007.
However, as it turned out the focus ended up be more so on the ways Molly might have ended up with the rare and severe combination of Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) that she had, along with Laterality (a.k.a. situs inversus, heterotaxy, left atrial isomerism, polysplenia, etc.) and how that impacts the "odds" (there's that term again) that any future children we might be able to have could have what Molly did, in some form.
The bottom line that we took away from the meeting is that we think we would be "gambling" and relatively irresponsible, especially in light of the fact that we have two healthy children to love and care for already, to try again with or without the frozen embryos. Thus we find ourselves at an Omega in our life.
For a number of reasons prior to this meeting Bob and I had been leaning against trying to have more children with or without our frozen embryos. We feel very blessed and lucky to have our two healthy living children and believe the time might be right for us to move on with our lives and focus our time, energy and resources on giving Sean and Abby the best life we can. That said, it is one thing to come to that decision on our own and felt very different to me last week when I was under the impression that someone else, the Pediatric Geneticist, was discouraging us from going down that road again.
The doctor we met with explained everything to us in great detail. She was able to help us understand the various factors that might have contributed to Molly's fetal anomalies that led to her death. These factors can be genetic or multifactorial, though not necessarily chromosomal (as Molly was found not to have any chromosomal abnormalities, at least ones that can be tested for/the medical community is aware of at this time). If there were genetic factors involved, the anomalies could have been caused by genetic mutations that either Bob, I or both of us may be carriers of that together or on their own could have caused Molly's conditions.
Reviewing some basic biology, which the pediatric geneticist did with us that day, genetic mutations can be passed on to a child in two main ways: through dominant genes and recessive genes. Usually we think about this as it relates to fun things we "give" our kids such as eye or hair color. However, in this instance, it also can greatly impact the health of our children (including preconceived and unborn children). As the doctor explained to us at our meeting, the odds (which we can never truly know what they are for us) depend on how Molly got the Laterality combined with Congenital Heart Defects (CHD).
If it was through a Dominant mutated gene (from Bob or me) our odds in having another child with it in some form (worst case scenario as rare and severe as Molly had it) are 50%. If it was through a Recessive mutated gene (of which Bob and I would both have to be carriers) the odds would be 25%. Here is a helpful article I found that explains Laterality Sequence in great detail: http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/laterality-sequence
The doctor we met with also discussed with us that even if you take the possibility of dominant or recessive mutated genes causing the anomalies Molly had off the table, our odds of having another child with CHD is still significant, about 3 – 5 %, possibly as high as 8%, but "definitely less than 10%." Though those odds may not sound as daunting, as a 1 in 2 chance or a 1 in 4 chance, even a 3 – 5 % chance is something we don't think we want to gamble with. A 5 – 10 %, being 1 in 10 to 1 in 20, is still a very significant chance to us. Again, all of these odds lead Bob and me to believe that it would be "gambling" and fairly irresponsible after all we have been through to try again.
It might be different if Molly had been our only child and we really wanted to have a living biological child. However, even then adoption might have been the better option for us to try (as I know many of you reading this have chosen to pursue and/or have built your families through and I so admire you doing so). All this said, we feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have two healthy children and are leaning strongly towards "quitting while we are ahead" and making the most of our life going forward with what we have (Sean and Abigail are amazing) and not trying to have more.
We also are grateful, in retrospect, that we didn't have this meeting and learn all of this information before we allowed ourselves to be open to life at the time we were somehow able to conceive Abby, as we might not have allowed that to happen otherwise. Also, if we had known more of these details and statistics after her conception, it might have made our pregnancy with her even more stressful. That said, as you may recall, we really didn't believe we could have more children without medical assistance at the time we conceived Abby. So though we knew it was an unlikely possibility, we were beyond surprised when it happened, though we were "trying."
After all we have been through over the past seven years trying to build/expand our family, making a decision to move on is not easy, but it is also in some ways a relief and though it is a "soft" decision at this point and not final, we are certainly leaning strongly in that direction. As you can see I am still very much processing it all this and it will take some time to sink in fully.
As I mentioned earlier, I didn't expect the news we received to be the main outcome/take away from our consultation with the doctor. I thought the main focus was to discuss whether or not to go forward with the frozen embryos and why or why not, which we did address, but that was the least of the importance/focus in the end. The Pediatric Geneticist indicated that she didn't think the odds of Molly's anomalies, or some lesser version of them, reoccurring in one of the three frozen embryos were significantly higher than if we were able to conceive again on our own with out medical assistance. However, after what we had already learned about the odds related to any future children we might be able to have, just because there is a possibility that we could, doesn't mean that we believe that we should.
As for the fate of our three frozen embryos, it is not something we take lightly, hence the initial purpose of this meeting. Our leaning there at this point is to donate them for stem cell research, which hopefully some good could come from and their creation and existence will not be in vain. I have been in contact with the clinic that we worked with in 2007, that is storing our frozen embryos for us, and found out that they work with a highly acclaimed university in the Midwest that would welcome our donation. We are in the process of requesting more information and the paperwork to move forward with this option, which we look forward to reviewing before we decide for sure.
As much as this is likely a big Omega in our life, I also see it in many ways a beginning (or an "Alpha," the first letter of the Greek alphabet). It is a time for us to live our life for what it is and though we still intend to plan for our future, as it relates to goals for our life and our family, it is becoming clear to us that it is unlikely that future has (or should have) any more biological children in it for us/our family and we are comfortable with that vision.
This situation calls to mind one of my favorite quotes that I found a few years back on a decorative rock at gift shop in Michigan:
Happy people don't necessarily have everything,
they just make the most of everything they have.
This really speaks to me right now, as does the Conan O'Brien quote I recently shared:
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get.
But if you work hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen!
Ironically we met with the Pediatric Geneticist on Ash Wednesday, the first day of the Lenten season in Christian church communities around the world, including our Catholic one here on the southwest side of Chicago. When I reflect on what Ash Wednesday and Lent represents to me and our faith, it seems fitting that we would have received this news and be discerning this decision in our lives during this time in the liturgical year.
Our meeting also happened to take place on the 17th day of February, the day which our daughter Abigail turned 5 months old and our daughter Molly would have been 22 months old. As you know it doesn't take much for me to read into things and find symbolism, so it also seemed fitting that we came to this crossroads in our life on that date.
Thank you for reading and for your continued love, support, thoughts and prayers. I hope this finds you and your loved ones in good spirits and staying warm and cozy this winter season. And last, but not least…
P.S. A funny note about the title/inspiration for this post…
After I first composed this post, I sat on it for awhile, as I wasn't sure if I was ready to put it out here just yet. In the meantime I happened to be watching an episode of Access Hollywood (one of my guilty pleasures) and saw a segment on Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps's visit to Vancouver as part of his contract with the "official time keeper (a sponsor) of the 2010 Winter Olympics." I didn't know there was such a thing, but apparently there is and that time keeper is a watch maker/company/brand, that I had never heard of, called (you may have guessed this by now or knew about it already) "Omega."
So while I was under the impression that NBC had put that Omega sign and word on the screen to indicate when a timed event was complete, to be creative and/or as a nod to the Greeks/the original Olympic hosts, it turns out Omega is actually a sponsor of the Olympics and the word/symbol is there to promote their company/product/brand! Go figure…

And then they wonder why I wish for the exploding charabanc on the M6! Just I was starting to believe that The Sun newspaper could not possibly get any more puerile.
A Sun reporter dresses up as Conchita Wurst and "invades" the Russian Embassy. I would have laughed my socks off if they'd have dragged him inside, roughed him up a bit, then bundled him into a white van and sent him to Siberia.
But that's not the offensive part. Rhodri Phillips makes a point of telling us, as this article shows, that, "the gay 25-year-old" was raised in "a tiny village 85 miles from where Hitler was born."
And what, Mr Philips, is the point you are trying to make? Would I be right in saying that YOU were born in the same country that gave us Crippen, Peter Sutcliffe, Hindley and Brady, and Fred West? And if I did, would you find it as profoundly offensive as I am sure Tom will at your "connecting" him with with arguably the world's most evil man?
Of course, there is little doubting that if by way of modern science Adolph Hitler was raised from the dead or cloned, he would not seek Holocaust Mark II, but employment with The Sun. From my experiences with them, he would certainly be in good company!

Vincenzo de Bellis has been appointed artistic director of Milan's International Modern and Contemporary Art Fair, MiArt, reports Outside Media Source in an article posted on LiveAuctioneers. Cofounder of Milan-based project space Peep-Hole and Artforum.com contributor, de Bellis states, "I have, for some time, expressed myself as curator in the attempt to redefine the sense of the institution of art. At a time like the present, when the traditional role of institutions is in crisis, I believe that art fairs are flexible models that can adjust to and grasp the complexity of the system with extreme synthesis and incisiveness." MiArt will open at Fiermilanocity on April 5 and runs through April 7.
Carol Vogel of the New York Times reports that after seven years Robert Mnuchin and Dominique Lévy, partners in L&M Arts, are splitting their Manhattan operation, effective January 2013. The existing L&M space on East Seventy-eighth Street will continue to stay open under the name of Mnuchin Gallery. Lévy plans to open a space of her own in the Upper East Side by early spring, dedicated to postwar and contemporary art. Vogel reports that the dealers will remain partners in L&M Los Angeles, which they opened two years ago. Said Lévy: "LA is different. It's very contemporary. It's also something we really built together."
The Film Society of Lincoln Center named Kent Jones director of programming of the New York Film Festival, and Robert Koehler director of programing year round. Jones and Koehler's appointments follow the departure of New York Film Festival selection committee head Richard Peña, who after twenty-five years has stepped down from his post; he will continue his involvement with the center in helping design and organize a new educational initiative. Said executive director Rose Kuo: "Richard Peña has played a fundamental role in defining our organization and its commitment to discovering and supporting the best and most important cinema in the world. Kent Jones and Bob Koehler, whose thinking and writing about cinema I deeply respect, are the perfect team to build upon Richard's vision and carry it forward."
According to Bloomberg, art collector Ronald Perelman and dealer Larry Gagosian have filed suit against each other in the New York Supreme Court. Gagosian alleges that Perelman agreed to pay $12.6 million for a sculpture by an "unidentified living artist," but later backed out, offering a lower price in combination with works from his collection. The gallery asserts that the same thing happened with a painting as well. Perelman, on the other hand, says that Gagosian let him buy the Jeff Koons work Popeye for $4 million without informing him that Koons receives around 70 percent of any amount over the original sale price if the gallery later resold the work.
After the controversy generated by the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation's plan to move the collection of old masters out of Berlin's Gemäldegalerie in order to make way for twentieth-century art, officials have announced that they are reconsidering their decision, according to Bloomberg's Catherine Hickley. Berlin's museum directors have now "commissioned a feasibility study to look at alternative options for housing its collections," writes Hickley. The reprieve comes as a relief, no doubt, to the 13,000-plus people who signed the petition inviting city officials to "reconsider the plan to empty the Gemäldegalerie of old masters."
Composer and theater director Heiner Goebbels spoke with Monopol about his role as curator of the 2012 Ruhrtriennale. After being asked about the inevitable comparisons to Documenta, Goebbels explained that while the two exhibitions did share a few artists, one difference was that he chose to focus on the music production practices of artists like Christian Marclay and Carsten Nicolai. He stated, "In the visual arts [to make the Conceptual something to be experienced] is rather outmoded. So we tried to expand the program with a notion of theater that makes possible the kinds of experiences that one might have at Documenta, for instance." The Ruhrtriennale 2012 takes place from August 17 to September 30.
Die Zeit recently asked Benjamin Mandel, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, to weigh in on the state of the current art market. Observing the recent tendency of the art market's highest-priced tier to flourish even more than the middle or lower tiers, Mandel noted that this boom corresponds to the latest income increases amongst the highest earners—the "0.1 percent" as it were. But this isn't so much a new development as an ongoing historical reality: The market has always grown in parallel with the income of the über-wealthy. Mandel suggested that the most important (and most expensive) works are often seen by buyers as the safest investments. He concluded with the point that buying the most expensive paintings also tends to be more attractive to the über-wealthy because the act of buying these works itself tends to be a highly public endeavor, lending buyers a certain measure of visibility and prestige.
In honor of the Vladimir Tatlin exhibition at the Tinguely Museum in Basel, Switzerland, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung's Maria Becker has written a comprehensive piece on the show that also looks back at the life of the influential Russian artist, who notably created work in the wake of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution. The Tinguely Museum's retrospective, which was curated by Gian Caspar Bott and which features more than a hundred loans from several Russian museums, presents the entire range of the artist's oeuvre, including painting, sculpture, drawing, architectural models, flying machines, theatrical artifacts, and costume sketches. According to Becker, the exhibition's best moments are Tatlin's "Counter Reliefs": towering, abstract assemblages of wood, metal, and rope. These works, wrote Becker, are "experiments with space and material, and Tatlin is showing their force, as if it were about hitting Western modernism with a particular Russian avant-garde."
Artist Cai Guo-Qiang, composer Philip Glass, architect Henning Larsen, dancer Yoko Morishita, and sculptor Cecco Bonanotte have been named the winners of this year's Praemium Imperiale, an international prize given by Japan's ruling family, according to Farah Nayeri of Bloomberg. The award recipients receive approximately $192,000. The Praemium Imperiale prizes were inaugurated in 1989. Last year's winners include artists Bill Viola and Anish Kapoor.
Gareth Harris reports in the Art Newspaper that the Hans Arp und Sophie Taeuber-Arp Foundation has announced that it will relocate to Berlin later this year from Rolandseck in West Germany. Established in 1977 by dealer Johannes Wasmuth in consultation with Arp's widow (Marguerite Arp-Hagenbach) the foundation will move to Berlin to more effectively shift its focus to "scholarly and public-access issues, supporting discourse on Hans Arp," according to a spokesperson for the foundationwho also noted: "Rolandseck was too far away for many interested scholars and large parts of the public." Meanwhile, a survey of Arp's works organized by this foundation drew vocal criticism from two other Arp foundations—the Fondation Arp in Clamart, France, and the Fondazione Marguerite Arp-Hagenbach in Locarno, Switzerland. The Rolandseck-based foundation responded with a statement noting that it owns the largest body of pieces by Arp, as well as the copyright to his entire oeuvre.
According to Jackie Demaline and Janelle Gelfand of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Ohio Cultural Facilities Commission has agreed to allocate $1.5 million in funding to the Cincinnati Art Museum. The amount will cover a portion of the total $11.1 million needed to renovate the three-story Art Academy building along with the basement of the museum's Emery Wing. The renovation will bring all the administrative offices into the first and second floors of the Art Academy building, while making way for a terrace and public-access library on the third floor.
Pauline Yao has been named curator with a specialization in Asian contemporary art at M+, the museum for visual culture in Hong Kong, which is expected to open in 2017 in in the West Kowloon Cultural District. Yao is an independent curator and art historian based in Beijing and San Francisco. She is a founder of the Arrow Factory in Beijing and an adjunct lecturer in the arts-administration department of the city's Central Academy of Fine Arts.

You're probably wondering how this meme came to be.
*Record scratch*
*Freeze frame*
Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up writing about a TV trope. It's all because the internet has fallen in love with this en medias res interruption and turned it into a meme.
The hard stop of a record followed by the weirdest screenshot you can imagine has a fairly young history online, though it comes from decades of media.
Know your meme traces *record scratch* *freeze frame* back to a 2015 4chan post. A user on /tv/ was rightfully mocking the introductory sequence used throughout movies and television. Its use is so played out that there are two TV trope pages dedicated to its key aspects along with dozens of examples, from the literal record scratch in Thoroughly Modern Millie to Deadpool's lampooning of it.
Once the meme hit in the internet, it made its way to forums, weird Facebook, and, of course, Twitter, where it's made perhaps its most impact and attracted the eyes of many a dank memesters and normies alike.
*record scratch* *freeze frame* hit the big time after Usain Bolt's smiling face took it to the next level. The photo of the world's fastest man just might be the most meme'd Olympics image of all time. It's certainly quite the freeze frame, powerful enough to begat countless more memes in this style.
The meme industrial complex can't just leave a dank macro untouched, though. *record scratch* *freeze frame* has already gone through the self-referential meme-grinder, pairing itself with the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog, the Pawn Stars intro, and mfw/tfw.
Hell, it's even gone meta.
Long after those 33 1/3s and 45s meet their maker and all music is consumed via intangible forces, the *record scratch* *freeze frame* meme will still be hilarious and totally relatable. It's the reaction shot for a media-binging world, as brilliant as it is trite.
Pure, uncut internet. Straight to your inbox.

Tri County Church of God is a highly relevant and relationship-driven church located in DuBois, PA. Planted by Dave Bish twenty-one years ago, it has become one of the thirty largest churches in the Church of God (Anderson, IN) movement. Founded in 1995 Tri County Church consists of believers who have discovered the joy and purpose in following Christ. As Christ-followers, Tri County Church strives to be a caring group of people who share the love and compassion of God with those around them.
Averaging about 1000 attenders each weekend, it is a large, multi-site church with a great past and hopeful future. The leaders and staff of Tri County have continued to advance the Great Commission, since the inception of the church, and are ready to continue this legacy of impact alongside the new incoming Lead Pastor.
The Lead Pastor will provide leadership, direction, and administration in both general and specific aspects of the church's activities to ensure accomplishment of its objectives. In essence, the Lead Pastor is responsible for facilitating the fulfillment of the church's mission: to glorify God by fulfilling the Great Commission and the Great Commandment through the purposes of worship, nurture, mission, service and fellowship.
The ideal prospect for this position will have a bachelor's degree from an institution of higher education or equivalent professional training or life experience, although a master's degree or an advanced degree, with work in related fields for 7 years, at minimum, is preferred. They will also be an ordained minister in good standing with the Church of God, Anderson, IN or should be willing to pursue ordination as a condition of employment at Tri County Church of God.

Stock Up, Stock Down for Key Miami Dolphins Heading into Training CampJuly 16, 2012
Stock Up, Stock Down for Key Miami Dolphins Heading into Training Camp
Training camp for the Miami Dolphins is now just 10 short days away from officially beginning in Davie.
Going into training camp, the Dolphins have many questions about many positions. How will the offense fare in their transition to a West Coast offense? How will the new 4-3 defense look? Who is ready to step up at key positions?
Most importantly, who will be the starting quarterback once the games kick off for real in Houston come September 9th?
None of those questions have been answered yet, and because of the presence of such questions, Dolphins' training camp is expected to be a fun watch—at least HBO is counting on that to be the case.
But what about now? What is the status of some of the players coming in? Whose stock is up, and whose stock is down?
We'll look at a few key players for the Miami Dolphins and determine that while explaining why a player's stock might be up or down. We'll also see what they can do to raise or maintain their statuses heading into the 2012 Miami Dolphins' training camp.
David Garrard: Stock Up
The most important issue for the Dolphins heading into training camp is the quarterback position.
When you look at the talent on defense and on offense, this is a team that has the potential to make some noise in the NFL. But a team only goes as far as their quarterback.
For the Dolphins it's a three-way race, a race that right now seems to favor former Jaguars quarterback David Garrard.
Garrard has received rave reviews from his coaches and his peers since signing with the Dolphins.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter (h/t NBC Sports):
The more you hear, the more it sounds like David Garrard has really taken this opportunity to emerge as the favorite to be the starting quarterback down in Miami,. Very impressive, adept, good footwork. Matt Moore's been good, Ryan Tannehill's been good, but David Garrard has looked the most comfortable of any of the quarterbacks.
This might have to do with the fact that Garrard is more familiar with some form of the West Coast offense than Matt Moore, while Ryan Tannehill is too green.
I believe that Garrard will be the starting quarterback come opening day. It's not because I have a horse in the race (I want the starter to be whichever quarterback gives Miami the best chance to win), but because of what the Dolphins' coaches have said about Garrard and Moore (via Miami Herald):
Philbin speaks well of Moore, but his praise of Garrard has been more extensive and effusive the past three months.
"Garrard's impressive," Philbin said. "He looks you in the eye, shakes your hand and you feel good about the guy. He can still move well. He throws the ball with a lot of velocity and his accuracy has been good. His command of the offense is good."
What about Moore? "I like the way he caught onto the system," Philbin said. "He's doing well."
Those words tell me Garrard is the front-runner for the starting position.
Clyde Gates: Stock Down
Last season, speedster Clyde Gates was expected to be the Dolphins' receiver of the future.
A deep threat who could also return punts and kicks, Gates was rarely used in the return game (with the more sure-handed Davone Bess usually getting the call), but at times during the season he teased the 'Phins and their fans with his speed and agility.
But in the new scheme being implemented, Gates might find himself on the outside looking in by the end of training camp unless things change soon.
According to Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post, Gates "is certainly no lock to make the roster." The reason for this is simple: He's not a West Coast offense receiver and there are plenty of those in camp.
The good play of fellow receivers Roberto Wallace and Julius Pruitt, as well as the fact that the tight ends on the Dolphins will get the ball more in the West Coast scheme, is another reason why it's likely that Gates will have to turn in his playbook during an episode of "Hard Knocks," if not sooner.
Artis Hicks: Stock Up
It's been a tale of two offensive lines in Miami.
On the left side, you have the perennial all-pro Jake Long holding down the fort. Even at 70 percent, Long has been better than the majority of left tackles in the NFL have been at 100 percent. He's been worth the No. 1 draft pick used on him in 2008 and should continue to be a cornerstone of the Dolphins' offensive line for the foreseeable future.
Next to him is Richie Incognito and second-year center Mike Pouncey. Expect Pouncey to have a huge second year and make his first Pro Bowl.
But then you have the right side of the offensive line. This is a different story altogether.
For 2012, much needed renovations have been made, one of them in the form of former Browns guard Artis Hicks, who's currently competing with the perennially disappointing John Jerry for the right guard spot.
In news that should come as surprising to no one that follows the Miami Dolphins, Hicks leads the race for the starting right guard position.
Hicks will likely get the starting spot because of his experience, which will help alongside draft pick Jonathan Martin, who will likely be Miami's starting right tackle.
For once, the Dolphins might not have to worry about the right side of their offensive line being a virtual turnstile for opposing pass-rushers.
Chad Ochocinco: Stock Down
I originally had nothing to say about Chad Ochocinco for this piece. From all I've heard, he's been a good teammate since signing with Miami, and I thought that while he might not be the same Chad Johnson from Cincinnati, he would at least be more productive than what we saw last year in New England.
But I had to say something about his "Twitter-beef" or "tweef" with rapper The Game that I saw on Sunday while on Twitter.
While this isn't something that HBO would mind, the Miami Dolphins would likely have a problem with it. Public relations-wise, it just doesn't look good for the team, even though rap-beefs are a bit different from when I was growing up.
While it did seem to start as a joke between Ochocinco and the rapper (a rapper who I thought had disappeared, but that's probably because his first album was his best), it didn't seem to end like one. Instead, it came off as two guys who had too much time on their hands that should be sticking to their day job.
Whether Game sticks to his day job or not, I don't care. But I do care that Chad does since he does play for the Dolphins.
Again, he's been a stellar teammate thus far, especially the way he's been working with Ryan Tannehill (despite the likely fact that Ochocinco might never catch a pass from Tannehill in a real NFL game). But this is a distraction the Dolphins simply do not need, whether it was a joke or not.
Les Brown: Stock Up
Already there are four tight ends on the Dolphins roster not counting Les Brown, who has the most improbable story.
We could rehash the story of the undrafted tight end that hasn't played football since 2005, but this is about how he's doing now.
Head Coach Joe Philbin has already praised the former accountant and talked about what he could bring to the Dolphins (via Sun-Sentinel):
When he came down here he ran the ball very well and he caught the ball very well...Those probably were the two things that jumped out very well. ... Whether he can translate that to success on the field, that remains to be seen. But again the more multiple you can be with formation, with certain body types on the field, can create some advantages for you against the defense.
While in Green Bay, Philbin used plenty of tight ends, not just their star, JerMichael Finley. Even though there are five on the Dolphins' roster now, there could very likely be five tight ends on the Dolphins roster come opening day.
Brown will be one of them if that's the case, which would be an amazing story in itself.

The weather is heating up considerably in Arizona and it's time to start thinking about your Summer wardrobe. I don't know about you, but I could use some outfit inspiration to rethink the items I own and decide which pieces I need to pick up. I rounded up some of my favorite looks.
Simple staples are always a good go to for running around.
Shirt dresses keep you cool and have a classic, timeless silhouette.
Button-up shirts elevate your simple shorts in a way that a t-shirt cannot.
Jackets are great for covering your back side when you aren't feeling so comfortable baring short shorts.
I've always been a little rock and roll.
Loose, oversized tops feel so great when Summer gives you a glimpse of a breeze.
I can never have enough tank tops. They go with everything!
Sometimes a statement accessory, like these Chloé boots, are all you need.
Leather minis can never be wrong.
Printed vests elevate basic looks.
The lower cut pant paired with a longer top is ideal for adding length. This top also draws the eye to the draping at the neckline.
Who's excited for Summer?!

Happy Earth Day! How are you celebrating? I just got back from my 4th weekend training at Growing Power and had to pleasure of playing with 20 baby goats. There really isn't anything cuter than baby goats!
Growing power is working to help create a sustainable food system in Milwaukee and training farmers to continue that work in their own community.
"The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other groundbreaking environmental laws soon followed. Growing out of the first Earth Day, Earth Day Network (EDN) works with over 22,000 partners in 192 countries to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world."
What are you up to today, and everyday, to protect our earth?

Tuesday Trek and Summer Plans
Fortunately, my husband offered to handle it, which freed up my time to ride. Then I stupidly checked my email before pulling on my boots, and there were two more appointments I had to put on my calendar for next week. Just a reminder that time is of the essence, because people will take it away from me faster then I can use it.
So, I went down to the barn to catch Gabbrielle, but she was being a total turd evading me. Just when I was about to start spanking her, Bombay walked up to me and stuck his nose in the halter. I paused.
I didn't want to let Gabbrielle get away with her bad behavior, but Bombay was also clearly communicating to me that he wanted my attention. He was probably bored being at home all the time and needed to get out. I decided to ride him and reward him publicly with plenty of peppermints, which would also serve as a punishment for Gabbrielle, who loves peppermints but would not be getting any.
Bombay's situation is that he hasn't been ridden on the trails for about six months. I was riding him in the arena, but then he was showing signs of back pain, so I stopped riding him until the vet could check him out. She didn't find anything significant, and the dentist said that Bombay hardly needed any work done on his teeth, so I felt like I had the all clear to ride him.
Once she got passed, I moved him forward and halted one more time to listen, because sometimes when one of these neighbors drives off in one car, the rest of them follow in other vehicles. I didn't hear anything, so I crossed and once we were out from behind the bush next to my driveway, I saw that the biggest, loudest truck on the street had its parking lights on and was about to take off. I hurried Bombay across the street and through the gate.
He could hear people doing stuff at that house and kept pointing in that direction. The guy fired up his truck engine right when we were riding past his house on the trails and Bombay threw his head in the air and came to a halt. He was tense, but once he realized that the truck was moving away from us, he relaxed.
Cutting a wide wake around his poop...
As we were crossing the street on the way home, there was a backhoe driving toward us. I rushed him down the driveway before he could get look at it, because I'm sure he's never seen one of those before. It looks like a giant insect.
His nervousness increased as he got closer to home, which was odd. He was eyeing the bush where we found the dead dove, so I think he remembers javelina being there.
He always has to hang onto the bit when I unbridle him...
I had planned to drop the sales prices on Bombay and Gabbrielle significantly right before summer, but I think I'll keep them. I take good care of them, even if having four horses is too much work for me. I just see a lot of things people say regarding horses on social media and it scares me to think that my horses might not go to a good home.
Just the other day I was telling Gabbrielle all the things I appreciate about her, because I know I tend of focus on her more obnoxious behaviors. She has some traits that none of my other horses have, and that kind of makes her special.
1. She's super responsive from both the ground and the saddle. She handles like a sports car with power everything.
2. She's always looking out for the herd, taking a leading role in their survival.
3. While her acute awareness makes her my spookiest horse, it also makes her my best watchdog.
4. She's very outspoken and I always know what is going on with her physically and emotionally.
5. She keeps herself clean. She's a self-grooming horse. She sheds against the fence and encourages other horses to groom her, so I don't have to. So, from a grooming standpoint, she's low maintenance.
6. She never injures herself or gets sick, so her vet bills are limited to maintenance. She was sick when I bought her, and she did injure herself a lot as a child, but now that she's grown up, she knows how to stay healthy. So, from a health standpoint, she's low maintenance.
7. She's super tolerant about being hugged and kissed, and she kisses back.
8. She picks up her own feet when I'm ready to pick them out. I love that, but for some reason my farrier was trying to train her not to do that the last time he was here. I guess he likes to call the shots, but I know my horse is just trying to help.
9. She's got that attention-grabbing beauty.
10. She keeps Rock from bulldozing down the other horses.
I think I can put up with her excessive pooping, and bloating to avoid the cinch when I consider all of these positive traits.
And then, of course, I never really wanted to sell Bombay. He was just my back-up plan in case I couldn't sell Gabbrielle. I originally wanted the horses to be ridden and exercised more often than I can offer, but they seem happy either way.

Nice ride on Bombay, hard to get rid of a horse like that. I feel you on selling its hard, I been trying to sell one and boy people just want a cheap horse I think. Now I got 3 people interested so I guess it's up to me, 2 came and tried and one really wants her at a lower price the other is waiting to see how much more training would be. Probly wants a lower price too.

What a great ride, especially since it had been so long. I would understand not selling them. I'm like you, can't stand the thought of something bad happening to them with irresponsible owners. I've also heard horror stories. Each horse has a vital role in the herd.

It's too bad PS bought herself a horse because she & Gabbrielle got along so well (if I remember that right).
Have you ever considered doing a lease on one of them? Retaining ownership & control but seeing them be ridden on a steady basis?
If you found someone that you liked it could be a good option; I would think that someone who pays to lease is likely to ride regularly.
In your area there are probably a lot of snowbirds that are good riders but can't bring their horses with them who also visit on a yearly basis; it could be a win/win.
My Aunt & Uncle used to trailer down 18 horses (& 2 additional paid riders) from northern AB to Arizona every winter when they were still rodeoing steady.

The Gray Whales of San Ignacio Lagoon Mexico Aerial View
This short aerial film shows the very friendly and playful side of these gentle giants. Here is a mother gray whale and baby calf reaching out to us in the boat for attention. They absolutely love to be touched and rubbed. This experience is truly magical and if you ever have the opportunity, this will be a lifelong memory. This footage was captured while Sky High Videography was on location in San Ignacio Lagoon, Baja Mexico with London based, Windfall Films and Pachicos Eco Tours. This footage and other will be a part of a PBS nature series. This episode will feature whales and dolphins and should air next year. Once back in studio, Sky High Videography will be producing its own series of films from this and other footage captured during a month long trek through Baja California Sur Mexico this April.

[Let me preface this article by saying I understand you can find decent men who aren't misogynistic. Some men are truly interested in working with women as equals. The men I met this week, though, are indicative of another group I have seen over and over. They are the men who do not hold women in esteem and do their darndest to keep us in our place.]
This week I was reminded I was a woman. Not in an empowering, positive way, but in a objectifying, belittling, humiliating way.
In general, I'm proud to be a woman. I'm a great role model for my daughter who sees me working for myself and learning something new every day. I do what I do because I love it, but I also do it because I want my daughter (and my son) to see that I add to our family, my clients, and them. This week, though, in under an hour, I was reminded that smart, attractive women with ideas aren't always welcome. In fact, we are threatening and must be demoralized so as to prevent any inclination to rise up and do more than stay at home with the kids.
Over the past 15 years, ever since I quit my corporate job, I've gotten used to working with other smart women. I've collaborated with them to get things done. I've bounced ideas off them to make both of our businesses prosper. Lately, I've started helping local business women understand and build a social media platform for their home-based businesses, because I truly want to see other smart women succeed. And it's been working. As I help my clients, they tell their friends and business colleagues about me. One of those colleagues, a man with a successful and popular local business, called me this week and requested a meeting. I accepted. When I showed up (exactly on time), I realized (again) why I left the corporate world.
During my meeting, my hand was squeezed to a point of pain (and I have a very firm handshake, I'm no wuss; this squeeze was intended to hurt). I was waved away as the man I was supposed to meet with had a meaningless conversation with another man (who was drunk, by the way). When we finally sat down, I was interrupted while giving advice so the man could turn to his partner to say, "You know what? I like her. She talks fast and gets to the point. OK." I could almost feel him patting me on the head. The intention was clear: Isn't it cute that she appears to know something about this? Both men left the meeting at various times to do other things. Throughout the meeting I was put on the spot with several "jokes" to see if I could keep up and "take it" (it was deemed that I had a good sense of humor). But the final straw? When one of them asked me if I was a real redhead.
This was bar-none the most unprofessional meeting I've had (and I've had some doozies -- I used to work with good ol' boys in oil & gas). I was so taken aback that I simply continued explaining my game plan with regard to their Facebook presence. I gave them solid advice and explained several things they could implement immediately to grow their fan base. It wasn't until I left that I realized how violated I felt. No one had touched me (except for the awful handshake), but I had been bullied. In fact, it's two days later and I'm still processing the incident. I am confident in my abilities, I am a quick learner, and I love to see others succeed. Rationally, I know these jerks were nothing. Emotionally, though, they shook me.
I'll bounce back. I already am. They want me to work with them on a weekly basis. I'm canceling our next meeting and instead sending them a proposal that outlines what I'll implement on their Facebook page (once) and for how much money. I'll do all the work from home, all correspondence via e-mail. After the implementation, we're done.
I have considered not taking the job at all. In fact, I have the luxury of not needing this particular job because I'm busy with several projects right now. If I'm being honest with myself, I think I want to take the job and twist it to my terms to assert my own strength. I need to show them (and myself) that I'm not going to be bent to their will on their terms. I will call the shots, implement the solutions, then leave (with plenty of money). The deal is on my terms and if they choose not to take it, that's OK too. At least I asserted myself. If I don't take the job, I'll feel like I didn't stand up for myself or the countless other women they've humiliated.
On the other hand, why bother with them at all? Why put myself in the position of dealing with jerks who aren't really committed to making social media work for them (sandwiched in between jokes and rude remarks were tell-tale signs that they haven't bought into social media's power). It's entirely possible I'll be their fall guy if their numbers don't triple.
I could use your support. Have you endured an unprofessional meeting? How did you respond? Would you take the job or run fast in the other direction?

New Blog Look, New Camera, New Video
Lately I've been dragging myself into the 21st century in my web design and implementation efforts. I recently overhauled my slack key guitar site, Kaleponi.com and helped out a local hula group with their site as well. All this new knowledge got me thinking about good old Homebrewed Music and its rather generic look, and the result is this new three column fluid layout. I hope you find it easy to read and navigate.
I also made a big step in my video camera arsenal with a shiny new Panasonic Lumix GH2. (more…)

Owned this since August 2013. No issues so far. Had a Mazda6 for 11 years prior to that. A very good car but decided it was time for a change & have never looked back. I had a 3rd generation Accord for 12 years before that which was a briliant car & is the reason I have returned to Honda. I only have dealer photos at present but intend to take some better shots eventually.

2011 Pilot Sunroof Problems
By Matt on
Vehicle2011 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Review2011 Honda Pilots have sunroof problems for which Honda does not have a fix. Purchased mine a month and a half ago, and they still can't fix it! I'm getting very frustrated, because it's a known issue according to the dealership. Honda supposedly issued a "fix", which was to "reset" the sunroof, but this didn't work so they recanted the fix. Honda, I've been a lifelong customer, but I'm getting frustrated that I can't use the sunroof I paid $1.5K+for! Fix this soon or lose a customer and all of my referrals. Other than the sunroof, a very good car. Braking distance is a bit too long for me.
Best FeaturesRoominess
Worst FeaturesFix sunroof issues (doesn't close). Shorter braking distance. Less road noise--repeated problem with Hondas. Put leather on the section of the front seats closest to the center console. The fabric looks cheap--not sure why you did this.

We are committed to following high standards of environmental protection and adhering to the principles of sustainable development and protecting biodiversity.
We recognise quality, environment, health and safety as among the key elements to ensure sustainability in our business operations. To achieve this, British American Tobacco Malaysia employs rigorous and transparent environmental management systems and strives to continue enhancing them. We seek to control and reduce our environmental impacts using the '4 Rs' principle: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover.
In 2016, as part of the continuous drive for energy efficiency, a total of 150 units of florescent lights were removed from the Wrapping Material Warehouse A (WMS A) and its air-conditioning supply was switched off during the night shift operations. With these simple changes, the Company was able to reduce its electricity consumption by approximately 94,608 kilowatt-hours and 131,400 kilowatt-hours respectively. The Company also installed a timer for the lighting at the Leaf Warehouse (MLS1& MLS3) which saved 68,620 kilowatt-hours in electricity consumption. In addition, by increasing the air conditioner temperature from 23.0 to 24.0 degree Celsius at the Leaf Warehouse and switching off the TMCI plant's lighting at night, the Company was able to reduce its electricity consumption even more by 33,600 kilowatt-hours and 100,740 kilowatt-hours respectively.
Biofilters are used in the Company to organically remove odour from exhaust gases released to the atmosphere from our factory operations.
In conjunction with World Environment Day in June 2011, British American Tobacco Malaysia installed a rain water harvesting tank in the factory premise. This tank operates to collect rain water directed from the factory area. Built from recycled water tanks, it has a capacity of 2,200 litres. Harvested rain water is recycled for use in daily cleaning of our waste disposal area and management of factory waste processes.
The rain water harvesting system is projected to reduce domestic water consumption by 100,000 litres annually.
The Company has installed acoustic curtains and erected a noise enclosure around the air compressors in the factory to reduce overall noise emissions.
British American Tobacco Malaysia's commitment to embed environmental responsibility throughout our business operations is aligned to the principles outlined in our Global Environment, Health and Safety policy which aims to apply the best international standards of practice in all aspects of its operations throughout the British American Tobacco Group.
All of British American Tobacco's operating companies worldwide are required to:
In 2008, our three year Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Mentoring Programme was developed with the objective of benchmarking key business partners' EHS standards against that of the Company's and to share with them our business expertise and best environment, health and safety practices.
The Company's business partner, Benkert (M) Sdn Bhd who is our service provider for tipping paper, was identified for the EHS Mentoring Programme two years ago and is currently in their final year of the programme.
British American Tobacco Malaysia possesses two bio-filter plants in Virginia Park, Petaling Jaya to treat our factory emissions before being discharged into the atmosphere. We took a step further in this treatment process by installing a special Tundra peat bed imported from Europe. The Tundra peat bed is the final polish in our treatment process as it acts to breakdown the emission smell biologically.
We were the first private company in 2006 to send non-hazardous wastes to Recycle Energy Malaysia in Semenyih for conversion to refuse derived fuel pellets. All our hazardous wastes are sent to Kualiti Alam Facility in Bukit Nanas Negri Sembilan for disposal. Liquid wastes from our operations are treated by our in-house Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP), which is in compliance with Standard B of the Department of Environment (DOE) requirements.
In November 2013, the effluent treat plants were reinforced with more effective bio-treatment processes.
Please refer to our 2006 – 2008 Social Report and our latest Annual Report for more information on our Environmental Management initiatives.

Late, Late Night FDL: Notorious
Loverboy has some 'Unfinished Business'…
Loverboy will release Unfinished Business, their first fully-new album in seven years, next month.
He explains how the record was named: "We put the song titles up and explained to the fans that this album was 40 years in the making. It was a fun thing; some of the titles they came up with were hilarious, but perhaps a little inappropriate for Walmart. No question – Unfinished Business was the one."
Dean originally planned to give the album away free, and although that hasn't happened, he says the release is still "to show our appreciation to the fans who have supported us all this time. Unfinished Business sounds pretty much complete to me – and it only took us 40 years!"

Best Honda I have ever owned
By bayn8v on
Vehicle2013 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
ReviewI love my 2013 Accord LX CVT. Probably the best looking Accord to date. Plenty of power for city driving or the freeway. CVT is a first for me but anytime you can cruise 70 mph @ 19-2000 rpm in a 3200 lb car is a win. Great interior, comfortable seats, great stereo. I managed 38 mpg on the highway today and the car has only 5k so I'm sure it will loosen up a bit once its broken in and gets synthetic oil inside
Best FeaturesI have never seen such a heavily optioned Honda for a base vehicle (LX) The EX has a ton of added safety features that would really be nice as well. Really like the i-MID screen/Rear view cam, the stereo is amazing great low frequency (bass) for a stock stereo
Worst FeaturesCVT does shudder at low speed usually when slowing to a stop or accelerating from a stop. Not sure if this will adversely effect the service life or not. To me it feels more like a manual in those instances and doesn't really bother me. But, Sport mode should be the first drive gear selection NOT second! I made the mistake of shifting down into Low at 55 mph for a brief moment. Do that in an automatic and its probably toast. I would like to see bigger wheels or a lower sidewall ratio but cant complain about a car that has alloy wheels stock. Center console could be a bit longer like my 2010 Civic had that would give you a little more storage space but this is all nit picking

Automotive aerodynamics is the research of the aerodynamics of road autos. Racer Safety Equipment ought to be worn correctly till the automobile exits the race track. Drag racing is a type of motor racing during which cars or motorcycles (usually specifically prepared for the purpose) compete, usually two at a time, to be first to cross a set end line.
These pins can be found towards the rear of our paper catalogs on the Automotive page listed below 'Further Equipment'. Drag racing was imported to Europe by American NATO troops during the Cold Battle. Different instances we race comparable rivals towards each other to see if a drag race can separate them where on-paper figures can't.
When you re-read the article, you may observe for a drag race alignment on a production-line car, you are taking pictures for camber settings as close to zero as you will get, toe that's as close to zero as you will get, and as a lot caster as you'll be able to provide you with.
Facet mirrors both improve the frontal space of the vehicle and enhance the coefficient of drag since they protrude from the facet of the car. For extra data learn the Drag Racing Cashplay guide right here -racing-cash-tournaments-walk-by way of-guide/ for more details.
Most race events use a standard bracket system, the place the shedding car and driver are eliminated from the event whereas the winner advances to the following spherical, till a champion is crowned. They are closed-wheel and often closed-cockpit objective-built race cars supposed mainly for endurance racing.
In 1973, the first and solely function built drag strip opened in Meremere by the Pukekohe Sizzling Rod Membership. With the developments made within the automotive industry, the sky would appear the restrict for this niche group of racers. The present electrical drag racing report is 2 6.940 seconds at 201.37 mph (324.0736 kph) for a quarter mile (420m).
