Clemson QB Deshaun Watson talks about his recovery, new OCs, more
Deshaun Watson simply couldn't catch a break in 2014. Three weeks after taking over the starting quarterback job in Clemson's overtime loss to Florida State on Sept. 20, the true freshman broke his right hand in a win over Louisville on Oct. 11. He returned to action after missing three games but sprained his knee in a 28-6 loss at Georgia Tech on Nov. 15 and later tore his ACL in practice.
Still, Watson's injury-prone campaign didn't overshadow his immense potential. He completed 67.9% of his passes for 1,466 yards with 14 touchdowns and only two interceptions. Watson also set a single-season school record with a 188.6 passer rating. As long as he can stay healthy, the former five-star prospect is clearly the Tigers' quarterback of the future.
SI.com caught up with Watson this spring to discuss his recovery, his reaction to losing offensive coordinator Chad Morris, his Netflix habits and more.
Despite key losses in 2015, Clemson defense looks to remain dominant
SI: How limited have you been this spring? And how would you describe your rehab so far?
Deshaun Watson: I haven't been on the field. I've been rehabbing and just kind of watching from a distance with coach [Dabo] Swinney, just seeing things from a coach's point of view. But it's really good. I'm about four months out.
SI: If you had to put a percentage on your knee, how healthy are you?
DW: Honestly, I'm not even sure. It's hard for me to translate where I'm at.
SI: Are you still on track to be healthy for your opener against Wofford on Sept. 5?
DW: Oh yeah, of course.
SI: When you hurt your knee at Georgia Tech, you'd already missed three games with a broken hand. What went through your mind at the moment of the injury?
DW: Jeez, just thinking that far back in time—I just wanted to go back out there and play. But they said I was done for the game, so I just really tried to cheer my teammates on and hope we'd still pull out the victory. We didn't, but from then on I was just concerned about my knee and making sure to take care of myself.
SI: Did you ever have a moment where you worried about your future in football?
DW: Never. I never worried about that because I know injuries are just part of the game. People have gone through ACL and knee problems before and come back stronger than before with productive seasons. I never doubted myself, and I want to come back even better than I was before.
SI: What have you been doing this spring while you can't practice?
Ten players ready to make major comebacks from injuries in 2015
DW: I want to be out there with my teammates. But I'm still around. They see me around, and I encourage everyone and try to be that leader. I'm still out there with those guys and in the film room. I'm just not physically practicing yet.
SI: You were a four-year starter at Gainesville (Ga.) High. You also won a state championship there. How important was Gainesville to your development?
DW: It was great. The coaches from there are phenomenal, and they prepare you. From the strength and conditioning coaches to the teachers, just the whole school prepares you for life at the next level. I would encourage anyone to go Gainesville. The things they do and how they work, it's phenomenal.
SI: Gainesville has produced a number of standout players in recent years. One is former Alabama quarterback Blake Sims, who led the Crimson Tide to the College Football Playoff last year. Do you have a relationship with Blake?
DW: I've known Blake ever since he got to Gainesville. We have a great relationship, and we talk whenever we get the chance. Just having that relationship and knowing a guy who has the chance to play in the NFL is great. And to get experience from him about the SEC, that's pretty good.
SI: What kind of advice has Blake given you?
DW: He has just said to keep doing what I'm doing and make sure never to be complacent.
SI: You went from one small town in Gainesville to another in Clemson. How would you describe Gainesville to an outsider?
DW: It's very laid-back and very homey. Everyone is very nice. Honestly, it's a lot like Clemson, and that's why I picked Clemson because they're pretty similar. They've both got the lake, great people around and different things you can do.
SI: When you were first getting into football, were there any college or NFL quarterbacks you particularly admired?
DW: I watched a lot of Tim Tebow, Cam Newton, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees. Those are the main ones that pop into my head. Growing up and watching those guys and how they play to win, they're pretty special.
SI: Your old offensive coordinator, Chad Morris, helped recruit you, and he left after last season to become the head coach at SMU. Jeff Scott and Tony Elliott are now Clemson's co-offensive coordinators. How have things changed on offense?
DW: There's not a big difference at all. It's just not having [Morris] in our presence, that's probably the only difference. But tempo, throwing the ball, running the ball, it's all still there. Nothing's changed, and Swinney is very good with that. He wants to run that spread offense and be fast. That's what he wants to do, so nothing's going to change just because someone else leaves.
SI: You return seven starters from an offense that averaged 30.8 points per game in 2014. Can you be better than last year?
DW: We can be as good as we want to be. We control that. It just depends on the attitude and the leadership we have. We just can't be complacent. We have to come together, and that's what we're going to do.
SI: Swinney talks a lot about your leadership on this team. How would you describe your relationship with him?
DW: It's very good. We have a close relationship. Being the QB of any program, you have to have a close relationship with the head coach. We have a great time and enjoy ourselves. We just prepare each day to get better and take this program to a high level.
SI: Swinney has said you were quick to earn the respect of your teammates, even as a true freshman. Is that hard to do?
DW: It can be. You just have to approach it a certain way. You can't come in too fast and take over the game. You just have to let it unfold by itself. I trust in all the upperclassmen. From then on, it took care of itself.
SI: What do you like to do when you aren't playing football?
DW: Watch movies. I used to play basketball, but I can't now [because of my knee injury]. I'd just shoot around, go on the lake, hang out with teammates and family.
SI: Favorite movie?
DW: I would probably say all three Friday movies, with Ice Cube and Chris Rock.
SI: Are you a Netflix guy? Do you have any favorite shows?
DW: I'm not on it too much, but I'll get on there and watch random movies. I'm mostly just a movie guy. My girlfriend is the big show-watcher.
SI: You tweeted a lot about Duke in the NCAA tournament. Are you a Duke fan?
DW: Yeah, I always grew up a Duke basketball fan. I love Coach K. I wanted Duke to win it all. Hopefully they can do it again next year.
SI: Did you pick Duke to win the title in your bracket? Even over Kentucky?
DW: I picked Duke. I had Duke and Kentucky in the championship game, but Wisconsin beat Kentucky, so I messed up my bracket on that part. But it was a great game because Duke pulled it out.
Florida State reloading again after exodus of talent; Punt, Pass & Pork
SI: Is Coach K the best basketball coach in the country?
DW: I think so. Him and [Kentucky coach John] Calipari.
SI: Have you paid attention to the NFL draft coverage at all? Would you select Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota with the No. 1 overall pick?
DW: [laughs] Honestly, it's hard to say. Both of those guys are winners and great guys. Being a quarterback, I enjoy watching both of them. I'm a big fan of Jameis and I'm a big fan of Marcus in all kinds of ways. I'd have to be a part of the draft process, and I'm not sure how that process looks yet. But I'd be happy to have both of those guys on my team.

Jaguar E-type S2 Roadster 1970
2R14691, benzine, manueel, 8200km, 4200cc
The first significant upgrade of Jaguar's sensational E-Type sports car occurred in October 1964 with the launch of the 4.2-liter version. Along with the bigger engine came a more user-friendly gearbox with synchromesh on first gear, and a superior Lockheed brake servo. The car's external appearance was largely unchanged, but under the skin there were numerous detail improvements. In 1968 all three versions of the E-Type underwent major revision to comply with US safety and emissions legislation, emerging in 'Series II' guise. Enlarged side and rear lights were adopted while a thickened front bumper center section bridged a larger radiator intake. Interior changes included a collapsible steering column and rocker switches in place of the earlier toggles.This 1970 Jaguar E-type 4.2 Roadster,*2R14691* is a very nice driver,All matching numbers. Comes in very nice British Racing Green with new wire wheels and tyres. Comes with all EU documents and all EU tax is payed.

I am not a natural flatterer, I like to think that I "tell it like it is", politely I hope. So when I tell you that I am very impressed by the contents of your website, it is just not English politeness. I of course love the subject matter but you deal with it in an energetic and respectful manner. I am overwhelmed by the research that has gone into compiling the list of coachbuilders/bodybuilders for Europe and North America. I have never heard of the vast majority of them.
Congratulations on an excellent website.

You can find me "blipping" some favorite tunes now "twitter style" over at blip.fm (these also post to my twitter account. You can follow me @timpoundstone.
Official release is January 27th.
Surprisingly these work equally well!
...and with Run-D.M.C.
Muxtape's short life has drawn quite a bit of attention. Now new features have begun to roll out that add a few more dimensions:
Add a custom title and caption"Buy at Amazon" link below each song (business model revealed!)Also the Muxtape blog claims it plays on an iPhone, but unclear how this is working without proper Flash-support. Anyone with proof?
I officially don't "get" Bjork or even particularly care that much for most of her music...but I do guarantee you've never seen anything quite like her latest video for Wanderlust.
This NYC based band has been getting a ton of hype, long before their self-titled debut was released. And now that it's been out a whole week, they find themselves playing their tune "A-Punk" on the Late Show!The song they play in the second clip is "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" which is named after and heavily influenced by a Congolese dancebeat...I like!
NPR's World Cafe has a small interview and four songs in a live set for you to check out.
I am ashamed to admit how much I loved this song in junior high.
Run both windows at the same time and enjoy the shot by shot remake of the classic (before there was a budget for these types of things) music video. (via Waxy)

Create – May 26th 2016 Highlights
Posted on 1 June, 2016
We had another cracking Create last month with Lucy Milton, Carlton Walls and John Hippisley. Our focus for this time was on growing your digital presence and self-publishing your eBook. The evening was full of networking with slight tipsiness from some of the attendees, but it was an enjoyable evening.
First up we had Lucy Milton, who is the Managing Director of Dandelion Social and she explained to everyone the what, why's and how's of podcasting. Lucy started up her podcast a couple of months ago and has had experience with the nerves (very relateable to most of us!) as well as the strategies she used to grow it.
Second off we had Carlton Walls of Wagon Films (who was also filming the event, multitasking! ;)) who taught us about the different use of video in your business and what types of videos can work best. Key takeaways from Carlton's presentation were A) don't rely on technology all the time (see video below ;)) B) Videos will soon be crucial for growing your business C) Good quality videos can be made on your phone, you don't have an excuse! Videos include product reviews, testimonials, live-streaming and more. We took action on what he said straight away and captured the testimonial video above (and more), shot on an iPhone 6S yet the quality is fantastic!
Last but not least, we had John Hippisley of Canterbury Ghost Tour who taught us all how to self-publish your ebook on Amazon. John kept the audience engaged all the way through and injected humour into his presentation.
Key takeaways were; get your cover page professionally designed, get it spellchecked, don't forget your index page and make sure you resize to Kindle (as this is different from both A4 and A5).

You are wishing to create. This wish is an exhortation, a command from deep within you. It cries out to be realized, it demands that you serve your own purposes… ~Fearless Creating, Eric Maisel
This text from the first paragraph of chapter one is just too dramatic for me, and a little cliché.
Also, some of the author's terminology turns me off. He calls one of the first tools hushing. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I really can't stand the word. Nevertheless, I recognize that it is a good tool: allowing ourselves a quiet, meditative time for ideas and connections to float to the surface of our minds.
I do tend to do this by default. I sit on the porch, hold my book, and think about what's next with the textiles, layer on another layer, complexify, complicate.
I used to do that in my writing program at SF State. I'd begin an assignment, and before I knew it I'd be building in layers, sometimes so many of them, or on such complicated themes, that the whole was incoherent.
In textiles, I think it's harder to achieve incoherence. Or at least, the layers I'm currently exploring tend to complicate the working process, but seem to me to be evolving towards a coherent whole.
For instance, I am a hand-spinner. I have A LOT of yarn lying around. When I injured my elbow and needed some non-taxing textile enjoyment, I decided to build my dyeing muscles by using some of the dye plants available at my own home.
I knew that mordants could change the color of a dye, so I decided to try rounds of dyeing with bougainvillea, rosemary, and coffee dyes using alum, brass, copper, and iron mordants. I spent weeks collecting the mordants from salvage yards, and in the meantime started envisioning what I'd do with said dyed yarn. I'd sit down for five minutes, and the plan would evolve, new directions and possibilities would emerge.
I'm learning to quilt, and thought something handmade and hand-stitched would be nice. I envisioned a beautiful pillow for the couch, but once I started reading India Flint's EcoColour, I started considering a garment.
I found a favorite skirt, traced the pattern, and started sewing a new one. In the process, I decided I wanted a wrap-around skirt with a tie at the side instead of zippers and buttons. To do this, I have to learn to make a skirt-waist. Then I decided I also wanted an embellished underskirt, so I'm sewing that too.
Honestly, the last two changes came about from mistakes. First, when I traced the pattern I failed to include the seam allowance, so it was too small. In order to make it larger, I'd need to add an extra panel, which would ruin the bilateral symmetry… and make it perfect for a wraparound. The underskirt came about when I understood how truly thin the fabric I'd chosen was, and realized it would need a slip. Ruffled underskirts are way better then slips!
For me, the mistakes illustrate how necessary flexibility is, the ability to make a general plan, but then play it as it lies instead of sticking rigidly to protocol. A certain improvisation seems important to me, and in that sense the hushing seems to work well for me. (I've got to find a better word.)
Because the skirt is cotton and I'm currently test-dyeing wool, I'm adding cotton dye and mordant tests to my process. Cellulose fibers need different mordants than animal fibers, so I'm exploring soy, gelatin, and others. (I honestly regret not bringing home any elk dung, I swear. I asked Matt what he would say if I tried to stuff a sack of elk poop into the trunk for the six-hour ride home. He said, "Baby, I would have been fine with the elk poop." Can you believe this guy?)
In the meantime, I went to Humboldt and raided a friend's backyard for new dyestuffs. And there's all of Twin Peaks to explore and prune of fennel and ivy invasives, so I might play with those possibilities.
Once the skirt is sewn together, I'll dye it, embellish it with the yarns, and perhaps some beads I've picked up at salvage yards too.
So you see? LAYERS. Complexity.
Desire. Lust. Satisfaction.
One process after another, complication that hopefully results in a solid, hand-made whole. I cannot describe the satisfaction I derive from thinking this through, from taking each step, even when that step is cracking acorns and grinding them to meal to leach the tannin to use as a mordant. Levels of drool and lust are off the charts, I'm happy, I'm at peace.
I've gotten away from the subject of rhetoric here, but really, I think that's the point. To interpret the rhetoric in a way that works for me, to use it as a jumping off point from which to explore, within my mind, on paper, in what I do, and what I try.
I have a feeling some of the author's other rhetoric or word choices may put me off. Nevertheless, it's not really an obstacle. I'm good at renaming things in my head to make them work for me, and the author encourages his readers to do that, if any of his word choices don't appeal. I think that's a really smart tactic.
I look forward to reading more, and seeing what else I learn.
For a full list of all articles on art and self doubt, look here. At this point, the list is short.

Dear Abby: As a father of two teenage daughters, I have a question about couples living together. Do relationships that start this way have a higher failure rate than those that don't? What should be considered when a young girl has the "living together" question presented to her by a young man? And most important, what can I as a father do to help my daughters make an intelligent decision about this, other than just "load my shotgun" (LOL)?
As always, thank you for broadening my wisdom horizon and giving me examples of solid advice from which both my and my family's life have been enriched. - Longtime Fan in Ohio
Dear Longtime Fan: It depends upon whether the couple living together are engaged to be married and their level of education. From what I've read, the higher the level of education, the more stable the couple will be.
If the question is presented to your daughters, ideally you will have gotten to know the young man, and the relationship will have developed beyond the casual stage.
However, I cannot stress strongly enough the importance of your girls being independent, self-supporting and completing their education before they decide to do this. One of the most common reasons women remain in unhappy marriages/relationships is the fear they can't survive on their own.
Dear Abby: My husband and I are hoping you could shed some light on the practice of throwing rice at a wedding.
We were not only wondering when and how the practice started, but also do people still throw rice today at weddings? We had heard that guests had stopped doing so to help protect wildlife (especially birds). Have you found this to be true? If so, what do we throw now? - Empty-Handed in Wisconsin
Dear Empty-Handed: Rice-throwing is an ancient tradition that may date back to ancient Rome and Egypt or even earlier. It was a ritual having to do with fertility - many grains of rice equating to having many children. In some countries, the couple is pelted with dates, raisins or even eggs, according to Ask Yahoo.
According to Emily Post: "All the traditional materials have their drawbacks: Rice can be dangerous for birds if ingested; birdseed can sprout weeds in unwanted places; rose petals are notoriously slippery; and even bubbles can stain a gown. Instead, you might distribute colored flags or streamers for guests to wave. ... It beats assigning someone the nearly impossible task of trying to recover grains and seeds from grass and flower beds."
It's Abby again: This is why I recommend that instead of tossing anything, you shower the happy couple with good wishes.
Dear Abby: My husband and I have three daughters, identical triplets. We, like many parents of multiples, are tired of questions and unsolicited comments from strangers concerning IVF - which we did not use, hence "identical" - or anything else triplet-related.
I don't think people realize how rude they are being. I have been asked when did I know, how much did they weigh, what are their full names, etc.
Abby, would you please discuss baby etiquette with the world? I do not feel questions about my children from total strangers are appropriate. They even make me feel unsafe. - Multiple Mom in Oklahoma
Dear Multiple Mom: Identical triplets are unusual, and what the questioners are doing is exhibiting natural curiosity. While I agree that asking how your daughters were conceived is inappropriate, a polite way to respond would be to say, "They were conceived with love."
Dear Abby: I have been seeing "Duane" for two months. He's kind, good-looking, successful, smart and fun. He's also apparently quite proud of his astonishingly hairy chest because he always wears his shirts unbuttoned nearly to his navel. When we're in public, you can see people react. Sometimes they point and whisper.
I gently raised the issue, but he didn't seem to think it was a big deal. I like him, but I'm embarrassed sometimes. Any thoughts? - Blushing in San Francisco
Dear Blushing: Yes. Your friend is suffering from overexposure. When strangers point and whisper, what they're saying is usually no compliment. Because Duane's decolletage embarrasses you, give him a choice: Button up or mow the "lawn."
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Working in conjunction with the GrowthAccelerator service, a team of legal and financial advisers from Leeds has supported the set up of a new £1.2m animation business that is expected to create 20 new jobs in Leeds and Crowle, North Lincolnshire.
Antyx Ltd will unveil 'The Learning Monster Project', an interactive online learning experience for young children, later in 2013 and is also working on other initiatives including a cartoon series and a feature length animated film. The brainchild of accountant Anthony Hall, who is based in Eastoft near Goole, the Antyx venture plans to launch in July with the backing of private investors under the HMRC's Enterprise Investment Scheme.
GrowthAccelerator business experts and Leeds law firm Clarion have worked with the start-up company to prepare it for launch. With access to finance support from GrowthAccelerator, Antyx have been advised on their corporate structure and business plan, particularly from a tax perspective. In addition, IP lawyers from Clarion have completed an audit to ensure that the intellectual property rights of the new company are protected.
Antyx's initial offering will be 'The Learning Monster Project', a virtual world for children, which aims to combine the fun and interactivity of a modern social gaming hub with educational benefits. It is also developing a cartoon series called 'Fantums' which will be delivered direct to the customer's computer; and an animated feature film called 'Phobes'. The company is forecast to generate a turnover of £1.9m in its first year, rising to £11.3m by Year 3.
Antyx director Anthony Hall expects the business to create 20 jobs initially, equally split between its offices in Leeds and North Lincolnshire as well as generating significant work for sub-contractors which it plans to source locally. Over £500,000 has been budgeted for the build and marketing of the virtual world, plus a significant budget for its on going management and development, and Mr Hall is looking for 'the best digital design company in the region to deliver it'.
"Yorkshire has a lot of talented animators and gaming companies, but they tend to work on a fairly small scale from home. As the first business to create and own the IP of its characters and games, we will be investing significant sums with local suppliers and we hope that this will help Yorkshire to become a hub of animation," explains Mr Hall.
He continues: "GrowthAccelerator is perfect for small companies like us which need support in order to fulfil our potential to grow. As well as working with a business coach on wider aspects of our business strategy, membership has enabled us to benefit from specialist corporate tax advice from Grant Thornton and GrowthAccelerator to ensure that the company is structured in the best way and that, as a start-up, we benefit from the various Government incentives available."
Neil Sengupta, partner in Grant Thornton's entrepreneurial tax team in Leeds, said, "This is exactly the sort of business we like to get involved with at an early stage. It's very positive for new business in Yorkshire that GrowthAccelerator is giving businesses access to expert advice from the outset, providing the vital support they need in order to fulfil their potential. Over the last six months, we've worked closely with Anthony to help him to structure his business affairs correctly, putting him in the best possible position moving forward."
Having joined GrowthAccelerator last November, the company was eligible to apply to the Intellectual Property Office for a £3,000 grant to cover the costs of carrying out of a full IP Audit. Antyx's application was successful and it commissioned Clarion's IP team to undertake the audit.
"The nature of our business being creative and online, means that we are particularly vulnerable to copycat companies stealing our designs and ideas – IP is central to our business and ultimately our most valuable asset. However, being a new business, budgets are tight so it is reassuring for both us and our investors to be certain that our IP rights are fully protected.
"Knowing of Clarion's reputation as experts in all aspects of IP, they were our natural choice to undertake the audit. We have been very impressed by the depth of their technical knowledge and the thoroughness of the report provided which reviews our existing IP assets, including identifying any issues concerning identification and protection. It also considers IP rights should we expand overseas and even advises on how we can exploit our IP to generate income. In addition, Clarion has advised on how we can better protect ourselves going forward and we will be engaging them to undertake the next raft of IP work once the build of the website is underway."
Esther Kirwan, partner in Clarion's IP team, commented: "All too often we see new businesses launch without having fully considered the need to have a watertight IP strategy in place from the start to avoid other parties taking advantage of their future success.
"The funding support available through GrowthAcclerator is a great way of helping smaller companies to benefit from a full IP audit, looking at every aspect of protection from trademark and patent clearances to assignments, non-disclosure agreements, registered design applications and domain name registrations. In the case of Antyx, we have advised on issues around the creation of the Learning Monster project virtual world, including copyright in its content and even copyright for the software that runs it.
"Antyx is the first company to work with us through GrowthAccelerator, and we have three other clients awaiting confirmation of funding. It's great to see the value of investing in sound IP rights being recognised as a key to the future success of these high growth businesses."

Vaccination schedule for dogs: what shots your dog needs and when
Have you looked into a proper vaccination schedule for your dog(s)? If not, that's probably something you should get done right away. After all, one of the simplest things we can do to keep our furry friends in good health is to make sure they get all their vaccinations on time! It may not seem like a big deal, but a puppy who can develop Parvovirus before getting vaccinated is not likely to make it. That may seem dramatic, but the sad truth is it happens.Not only can your dog get sick and potentially die, but if they contract rabies and bite you or anyone else they are putting human and dog lives alike at risk. Every state has their own laws for how often your dog will need to get a rabies shot after his initial puppy vaccination, but your vet will be able to tell you if this is not often enough. (Some states only require it every three years or so while others require rabies vaccinations to be renewed every year.)If you are bringing home a new puppy, it is important to be sure that they get all the proper shots at the right time. It could be detrimental to their health if these shots are not received and they are most effective when given to the pup at the proper times. The good news is that there is a pretty simply schedule to follow – it may vary by a few weeks depending on your veterinarians' preference, however for the most part the ages for puppy shots are standard across the board.Today we will go over which shots your puppy needs all the way up into adulthood as well as what they do to protect your dog.Core vs non-core vaccinesYou may have heard your vet talking about your puppy's core vaccines and non-core vaccines as well. The facts are that while every dog receives a more or less standard set of vaccines (to fight against diseases that are common in dogs) but there is also a list of vaccines for less common diseases. The core vaccines are ones that your dog should receive regardless of breed, while the non-core vaccines are sometimes given to specific breeds or lines that have a history of being susceptible to particular diseases.In the end it is up to you whether or not you want your puppy to receive non-core vaccinations. Your vet will be able to help you to decide which vaccines are right for your puppy or dog. Some of these non-core vaccines are also specific to certain locations where exposure to a disease is more common than in other parts of the world. If you are unsure whether or not a vaccine is absolutely necessary, talk to your vet, ask those questions. After all, both of you have the best for your dog in mind.Core vaccines:Canine distemperParvovirusHepatitisRabiesNon-core vaccines:MeaslesRespiratory disease (from canine adenovirus-2)ParainfluenzaBordet EllaLeptospirosisCoronavirusLyme DiseaseFive week shotsAt five weeks old is generally the time frame when most veterinarians suggest you get your pup his first vaccination. This going to be the shot to immunize your puppy against Parvovirus. It is unlikely that before five weeks of age your pup will have been exposed to this disease. Plus, the puppy is still nursing in the early weeks and the mother's breast milk will help to keep the puppy healthy. If you are getting a puppy from a breeder it is extremely important that you ask them for proof of all the pup's vaccinations and any other medical records.This is the only shot your puppy will get that is specifically to fight off parvo. In the future he will receive a booster for this through a combination vaccine. You will need to make sure your dog gets his booster shot every year for this vaccine to remain effective. The last thing you want is to hear that your poor puppy caught parvo because you waited an extra two months to get the vaccine!Six and nine week shotsThese shots may be taken care of by a breeder or a shelter depending on how old your puppy is when you bring him home. You should be sure to obtain their vaccination records so you can be 100% positive that your dog has been vaccinated. If you have brought your puppy home as early as six – nine weeks then you should be prepared to take him to the vet for the second round of shots. This is generally only a single combination shot, however depending on where you live your dog may also need a Coronavirus vaccine as well.The combination vaccine is also known as a 5-Way-Vaccine that generally includes parvovirus, adenovirus cough, hepatitis, canine distemper and parainfluenza. This shot is standard and will immunize your dog against many common illnesses in non-vaccinated dogs. These combination shots are given at both six and nine weeks and neither dose should be skipped in order for the vaccination to be properly effective.12 weeks (and older) shotsAt this point there is only one more essential shot for you to provide your dog: the rabies shot. This is probably the most vital shot for your dog to receive as it is mandatory by each state. However, the particular laws in your state may not require a booster for the rabies shot as often as others, your vet will be able to tell you the best length of time to wait between vaccinations.The rabies shot has saved many lives both canine and human alike over the years. In some countries where rabies vaccines are not mandatory people are far more likely to experience death among both dogs and humans over the rabies virus.Once your dog has had the initial rabies shot as a pup, he will need a booster every one to three years. The duration between shots can depend on a number of factors including state law, the strength of the vaccine your vet is using, among other things you vet may ask about your dog's lifestyle.In most cases, the 12 week shots are the last round of "puppy" shots that you will need to worry about. From this point on, the best thing you can do for your dog is toAdult booster shotsAfter those 12 week shots your dog is likely to be good-to-go on shots for the next year. However it is important that your dog gets booster shots for both the rabies and any combination shot that your vet gives out.You may need to get these boosters once a year or once every other year. There may be a shorter or longer duration for different shots as well. If your dog was vaccinated with a non-core shot then the duration between boosters will likely be different from their other shots.When it comes to how often your dog will need a booster your vet will be able to guide you on what is healthy and safe. As mentioned earlier, your individual state law will have some part in the decision making when it comes to the rabies vaccine – however this is for the safety of your dog, you and everyone else around. Rabies is nothing to take a risk on, after all!Why vaccines are so importantVaccines are just as important to your dog as they would be to your child. They help to fight off against diseases that can be extremely harmful and even fatal to your dog. After all, there is no cure for rabies and if your dog is bitten and not vaccinated then the disease is fatal 100% of the time.This information is not meant to scare you rather than help you realize just how important it is for you to be sure your dog gets his initial vaccines as a puppy and boosters throughout his life. There is a lot of controversy going around on how often a dog needs to be vaccinated and the duration the shots are effective differs between different strengths of the vaccine and different breeds of dog.If you want to see your pet live a long and healthy life, one of the simplest things you can do for him is to be sure he gets his vaccinations on time. Your vet will be able to tell you how often your dog will need boosters. For the rabies shot (which is mandated and regulated by state laws) it could be as often as once every 1-3 years. However for some non-core vaccines, like the one for kennel cough, need to be administered every six months to stay fully effective.The benefits outweigh the risksMany people fear vaccines and potential side effects – and this goes for vaccines for both pets and people alike. The thing is, the benefits are always going to outweigh the risks when it comes to these types of vaccines.Risks are very minimal with these vaccines and generally, if there is any reaction at all, your pet's skin may be irritated around the injection site. You may also find that they are less hungry than usual or more sleep than usual. This usually only lasts a day or so after the shot is given and if symptoms worsen or last longer than 48 hours you should contact your vet.In extreme cases pets can be found to be allergic to the vaccine and have severe reactions. If this is the case contact your vet immediately – if it is off hours contact the closest emergency veterinarian. In most cases however, there is no reaction to these vaccines as they have been tested and provided for years.What it really comes down to is looking at the numbers. The number of pets who had a bad reaction to a vaccine is much smaller than those whose lives were saved thanks to the vaccine. You would never want to see your furry friend suffering from (or dying from) any of the fatal diseases that dogs are prone to catching – so why not prevent it from happening in the first place?From the time you bring your puppy home it is your responsibility to provide them with the highest quality of life possible. By getting your dog vaccinated you are providing them with a chance to fight off harmful diseases. Missing any of the "puppy" shots can be harmful to your dog's long-term health.If you got a puppy or dog and you are not sure if they were vaccinated then talk to your vet on the best course of action. Most of the time, they will tell you to go ahead and have the pup or dog revaccinated. The extra dose of the vaccine should not harm your dog in any way and it is better to be sure than to take a risk and not get them their shots!In the end, it really comes down to being a responsible dog owner and talking with your vet to come up with the best vaccination schedule for your individual puppy or dog. Every vet does things a little bit differently – your dog's vaccination schedule may not look exactly like the one we've outlined here – however it should look very similar!Making sure that your dog gets all the needed vaccines is important to keep them in the best health possible throughout their life. If you want your furry friend around as a part of the family for years, don't skip their shots!

I'd like to ask you a favour. Could you please let me know if you or anyone that you know have these symptoms ? The reason is, I would really, really like to know that I'm not alone!
You see…
The Signs and Symptoms
I am a planner. Well, it starts there.
Not only am I a planner but I LOVE it! I LOVE watching people talking about and sharing the way they use their planners. I love looking at how they decorate them, using stickers and colourful tabs and washi tape; and how they organize them and what they write in them. (Youtube has a whole community of planners wanting to watch other planners do up their planners!)
I love planning and I would say that I am quite the expert at it too! I love imagining how my planner would look like. I browse stationary shop aisles and bookshops looking at planners and notebooks with the potential to be turned into planners. I buy them and with great gusto I plan.
When I plan I include everything. I'm great at making sure that my timings are just perfect. I make sure that I give myself enough time to do whatever it is that needs to be done and I even give myself time between tasks because for some reason I would need a whole 10 minutes between reading my course material and proceeding to lunch – at home, a mere 2 second walk from my room to the kitchen.
When I start planning or imagining myself plan my days out it feels so good. It feels like *this* is *it*. This is me doing something good and right! This is awesome! I'm going to schedule all my days in neat little time slots and I'm going to get.stuff.done. !
When I'm done, I look at my beautiful schedule and smile. A smile that lasts for 2 seconds before it's replaced with a huge sigh and my brain completely putters to a stop. You see, I planned my plan so well that even before I get to it I'm so tired! This phenomenon can present itself in a different form as well. After smiling for 2 seconds, I close the book and giving a nod of approval for my efforts, I put it away where it can be easily reached (of course!), tell myself "I can't wait to get to it TOMORROW" and when tomorrow comes it feels like a huge basket of troublesome chores have been dumped on my shoulders!
The above then subtly flows into the next phase which is procrastination or to be honest, a complete stubbornness to NOT follow my perfectly planned schedule. This is when as I am telling myself that it's time for me to write a blog post , the cursor clicks on the YouTube link. As I am telling myself that I should be *really* writing that blog post which I had planned, the cursor finds its way to click on…wait for it….are you ready? Are you sure?
Ok…finds it's way to click on a YouTube video about "this awesome looking planner!".
This goes on for a bit. In between some things get done. Some things are left to gather dust and all the while at a subtle and at times not so subtle level I am berating myself for not getting *anything* done.
From this phase it then circles back and starts all over again.
The (Attempted) Diagnosis
So my question to myself has been why? Is it because I am actually not the type of person to go with the plan and instead am a go with the flow-er? Is it much deeper than that? Why this continuous self sabotage? Why this great cyclical phenomenon of start, stop and start again? Is this truly self sabotage? Is this truly a sense of not being worthy even to myself? Or is it just a plain and simple thing called laziness?!
Well…I feel and think that for me it's a good dollop of expectation that every thing has to be perfect – the perfect time, the perfect start of the day, the perfect weather before I can actually start; added with another dollop of fear that expectations will not be met, plus a cup of disastrous thought form of I don't really need to put in the effort to get results and to top it all off the troubling fact I lack discipline and focus.
BUT..ah the wonderful but which has the power to negate everything else said before it, I also truly think that having such a fixed schedule may work for some but it doesn't work for me. I am honestly the type that needs to walk that fine line in between planning and going with the flow. I need something that isn't too restrictive but at the same time gives me some structure or else I rebel against it, even if that "it" is from me.
The other thing which strikes me is that sometimes it's okay to be doing "nothing". You know, we are so conditioned by society that to not do anything means you are wasting time. That's not really true, unless it's the only thing that we do. It's okay to just "take a chill pill and relax". I mean, who are we racing for? Where are we rushing to all the time? What is this "rat race" that everyone is so concerned about, because the last time I checked we are humans, not rats! I mean, seriously I think even rats take time out for themselves! When I berate and tell myself off that I'm wasting time, it's added stress. It doesn't allow me to enjoy just being, just relaxing, just vegetating. When I don't allow myself to enjoy it, then it just seems to me that I haven't even taken any time out! Does this make sense?
The Treatment
I've been pondering about this malady of mine for some time now and I *think* I've come up with a new formula. I'm working at working it so it isn't fully approved yet, but I am hopeful.
The Formula
1 cup of having a general idea of what are the things that I would like to do. This can be in a form of a list plus a little bit of scheduling for example sticking to my schedule of a blog post every Sunday and Wednesday.
2 cups of discipline. No way out of this, I'm afraid. We need to put in the effort before anything happens. We all just have to do a Nike and "Just Do It"
2 cups of focus. Again something that we can't run away from. When I mean focus, to me it's just concentrating on doing whatever it is that I am doing and not doing anything else till it's done.
2 large spoons of "It's okay if things don't work out as planned! Just go with the flow!"
1 large cup of enjoying what I am doing!
The end result should be quite remarkable I think! (Well I hope!)
So, dear reader…do you exhibit any of the symptoms above? And if so, what is the cause of your symptoms , you think? Oh! And have you or are you in the process of finding a remedy? It's would be wonderful if you would share it here 🙂

Tachineputa Museum3.8
This is a museum dedicated to Tachineputa, gigantic floats measuring 22 meters in height and weighing nearly 20 tons that are used in the summer festival of Goshogawara .
The city is a 1-hour drive west of Aomori and holds a float festival in the same week (early August) as in the latter. This festival is recommended because it is less crowded and the floats are so tall that you are guaranteed to get a great view almost anywhere along the street.

If you ask George Bush, he'll likely tell you that America is not in a recession. A recent CNN report on employment says otherwise.
"The government said Friday that the unemployment rate soared to 5.5% in May from 5% in April – much higher than economists had forecast."
Couple this with oil skyrocketing to over $130 per barrel and the Mortgage Bankers Association announcing that foreclosures have reached a record high, and there's really no dodging the fact that the U.S. is knee-deep into a very serious recession.
No matter what our fearless clueless leader says.

Essentials Things
These are some essential things that you need to bring with you to college. Make sure you have these available, packed and ready!
Do you have items that mean something special to you that you need to have around? Well, make sure you don't leave these behind. I for one do not like to travel without my age old laptop, old school vest and favorite par of clothes.
Yes, you will need clothes. 😀
Something For The Trip
If you are traveling a larger distance it may be wise to bring something to facilitate this trip. You might want to bring some refreshments, snacks and maybe some books or other writings to bring a long on the trip.
Cell Phone
Amazing how this little gadget as gone from being a gadget for top notch businessmen to become an essential tool for most individuals. What's perhaps more important the actual phone is the contact details that are saved on that phone. Make sure you have it on you before you leave.
Got some important books that you need to keep around? Be sure to pack them as well. Believe me, it's very frustrating when you're away and suddenly realize the book you wanted to read so bad was left back home. It hurts.
Things Mentioned By Your College
Read the acceptance letter carefully. Are there things that you need to bring with you mentioned in that letter? Don't take any chances, read it through once more and make sure you have everything you need. If deemed necessary, you can even ask friends who you know at that particular college for some advice on what things to bring that are perhaps not available at that location.
Important Documents
Make sure you have all your important documents including identification papers and documents containing starting dates available at all times.
Plastic Utensils
You will be thankful later on, trust me! Plastic utensils are amazing, no need for stress concerning washing the dishes (nor any potential arguments with possible roommates). Use them and then throw them away! 😀
If needed…
In this category you'll find some items that could be necessary and might be needed in the future. Not as high as a priority as the first category but important nonetheless.
Lock Box
Because privacy is important. You may want to lock in somethings that you deem valuable, no need to hid things under the mattress when you have a lock.
Usual School Supplies
Note pads, paper, pencils, markers and such are the usual suspects in any educational environment. Albeit, these could be bought at campus, it might be a wise idea to bring them along the read and thus save time and energy.
Laundry Bag
You clothes will get dirty and a nice laundry bag can sure be a help.
Two Set of Towels
Bring two pair of towels so can still use one when the other one is dirty.
So small in size, so easy to forget.
Other Useful Things
Under this heading we find some other useful things that you might want to bring with you to college. Might not be that important but who knows, could be useful along the the way.
You thought this was more important, didn't you? To be honest, having a computer at home might not be as helpful as you think. Computers are usually present all over campus, in computer labs and at the libraries. You could technically have all of your computer needs fulfilled without ever owning a computer at home. Make sure you examine what you do on the computer, will it have a negative effect on your studies and/or life? Gotta make sure before you bring it along.
It can get hot (especially if your studying in a warm & humid area), a nice fan is something everyone would wish they had but only few actually do have. Be amongst the few.
Ear Plugs
It sure can get noisy out there, be prepared and get yourself a pair of ear plugs.
Air freshers
Because it can get smelly.

Lesson Plan
Literary Characters on Trial: Combining Persuasion and Literary Analysis
|6 – 8
|Lesson Plan Type
|Estimated Time
|Eight 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
After reading a work of literature as a class, students will brainstorm "crimes" committed by characters from that text. Groups of students will work together to act as the prosecution or defense for the selected characters, while also acting as the jury for other groups. Students will use several sources to research for their case, including the novel and internet resources. All the while, students will be writing a persuasive piece to complement their trial work.
While this lesson uses Shakespeare's The Tempest, there are several other text options. Handouts (except for the model case handout) are generic so that they can be used with any text.
Roles of the Members of a Trial: This handout briefly explains all the roles played by students in a mock trial.
Exploring the Judicial System Through a Literary Mock Trial: This online tool asks students to visit several Websites and answer questions in order to learn about the U.S. judicial system.
Dramatic activities, such as imagining a trial for certain characters, encourage students to "reflect on the experience and meaning" of the reading. Students work together to create their own meanings, an essential characteristic of constructivism. Through drama, students create a new world in which the characters, themes, and motivations of the novel combine with and affect students' understanding of the world in which they live. Most important, students are empowered to see how the themes of literature relate to their own lives.

Today's post is inspired by a great man in my life…my dad.
As I mentioned before, both of my parents are entrepreneurs, so I think it's actually in my DNA. 🙂 My mom owns her own hair salon in my tiny little hometown (and runs the Plathe Pumpkin Patch like a pro…see previous post). My dad farms, and he called me up to chat yesterday while he was out in the field…
A little background: My dad and I are thinkers…we think and think and think until we are 85 steps ahead of the rest of the world. I would also describe my dad as a dreamer in that he comes up with ideas for new inventions and businesses literally everyday. Not only does he come up with the ideas, but he also thinks through all the little details about how they could work…then he gets incredibly excited. Therefore, when he's got about a half a pot of coffee in him in the morning, he calls me and tells me all about his latest idea. Anyway, I love those conversations with my pops, because he always gets me excited about the possibilities of the future AND there is ALWAYS a bit of advice attached…
"Not taking a risk is a risk, too." ~Dad
As a farmer, this man knows what risk is arguably better than anyone else, so after I hung up the phone, I spent some time reflecting on those words…
In life, if we don't take a risk and continue to remain in our comfort zone, we risk the chance of not experiencing something truly wonderful. For example, my Junior year of college, I was contemplating studying abroad for either four weeks or four months. I took a leap of faith and decided to go for a whole semester (4 months) which was 150% outside of my comfort zone and highly unlike me to do. Well, I can safely say that those were the best four months of my life…I met incredible people, saw oodles of amazing things, ate great food, and most importantly, learned things about myself I otherwise would not have. (If you'd like more details on my adventure, I have a blog about it: Lindsay's London Adventure)
Well, professionally-speaking, taking a risk is just as frightening. However, not taking a risk and continuing to do things like you always have won't get you very far in this ever-changing world. None of us want to become stale in our business endeavors…we want to always be thinking BIG for the future.
Now, after reading this, take a look at your business…is there more you could be doing to stay fresh and up-to-date? How about your marketing? When was the last time you updated the content of your website or business card? You may be thinking, "I'm doing fine…business is good." To that, let me ask you this: "Don't you want your business to be GREAT?!"
Ok, I just had a conversation with myself, so I think it's about time to wrap this up… 🙂
I was always taught that the key to success in business (great business) is to hire people that are smarter than you…aka: experts in their field. So, if your marketing is getting stale, take a chance and hire me to help! Remember, "not taking a risk is a risk, too."

Catman was a member of the Justice Guild who operated as a crimefighter.
He along with his fellow Justice Guild members have died during a missile attack that devastated Seaboard City in 1962. Ray Thompson, a child who idolized the Justice Guild and was turned into a mutant who could mentally create virtual-reality constructs, recreated Catman as well as the rest of the Justice Guild team while trapping the living citizens of Seaboard City in this virtual-reality recreation for 40 years, preventing them from aging. When the Justice League team appeared from their reality into that which the Justice Guild inhabited, they discovered the truth about the Justice Guild members and exposed it to their recreated selves. When Ray Thompson attacked the Justice League following this exposure, the recreated Catman along with his other team members fought against Ray and incapacitated him, causing himself and his team to vanish and to restore Seaboard City back to its original devastated appearance.
Powers and Abilities
Clawed gloves that enable him to pierce through metal.
Motorcycle with detachable sidecar. The controls to the motorcycle can be switched over to the sidecar when activated.
- Catman is based on the Golden Age Batman and Wildcat. His personality is based on the Adam West version of Batman from the 1960s television series.
- His character was voiced by Stephen Root.
- His gravestone marker has "T. Blake" as his alternate identity name. It's possible that it could refer to Thomas Blake, the alternate identity of the mainstream DC universe Batman villain called Catman.
- 2 Appearances of Catman (DCAU: Legends)
- 1 Images featuring Catman (DCAU: Legends)

Moorestown Friends School teaches young students coding
MOORESTOWN – Third-grader Matthew Will went to the front of the class and sat on the floor next to a robot named Beebot.
He pushed some buttons, sending codes to the bumblebee-shaped robot to carry out certain commands. His mission was to get Beebot to move two spaces forward in a taped maze on the carpeted floor, then three spaces to the left. The robot did just that.
It wasn't just fun and games, though. It was a part of a first-year Lower School coding program at Moorestown Friends School for its younger students, which includes preschool up to fourth grades.
More than 220 students – some as young as 3-years-old – are in Liz Kahn's coding classes.
"It's been fun; I like the robots," Matthew said.
Said classmate Gianna Berkowitz: "It's really fun. We get to play a lot of cool games. Coding is a really fun way to learn. It's like you get to code robots. I like robots. You can do a bunch of stuff with robots."
The program evolved from a school-wide strategic planning process that identified possible additions and alterations to the curriculum in the areas of 21st century skills and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Read more…

LG Says DeepThinQ AI Will Play Massive Role in its Products Moving Forward
While I'm here looking for the physical platform of the future, CES 2018 has already proven that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is really the technology that people should be paying attention to over the course of the next year. AI is not a new concept, per se, but the implementation of the technology on a broader scale into the product that consumers use every single day is, and that idea was on full display during the LG press conference on Monday in Las Vegas.
Several new products were talking about during the South Korean company's event, but the clear theme of the day was the role that LG's new AI platform—called DeepThinQ technology (pronounced Thin-Q)—will have in its entire product line moving forward.
"DeepThinQ is the embodiment of our open philosophy—to provide the most powerful AI solutions to our customers via a strategy of open platform, open partnership and open connectivity," Dr. I.P. Park, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer at LG Electronics, told the gathered media. "ThinQ will completely change the way consumers use our products because ThinQ products will learn about them to provide intelligent services, not the other way around."
Short of getting into the technological details of how DeepThinq works, the idea is that as consumers use LG's products, those products learn the consumers habits and adapt to better suit their needs. But, to go a step further, those products can analyze all types of data and apply it to alter settings to more efficiently complete the task at hand. For example, a washing machine with DeepThinQ technology will learn to understand that a consumer dropped workout clothes into the SideKick washer, so it'll smartly change the different wash cycle settings to match the type of wash those clothes need. In the car, DeepThinQ will be able to recognize driver facial expressions and body gestures to sense when a driver might be getting tired, or it'll adjust the music, lighting, or climate settings inside the car based on which passengers are currently in it.
One of the most useful cases for DeepThinQ that LG put own display, from a customer service aspect, was the smart diagnostics. LG appliances will be able to analyze how the system is operating, send updates to offsite LG tech professionals and make adjustments or tell the consumer to perform some sort of maintenance to avoid a possible breakdown. Or, if the issue is further down the road, the system can actively alert the consumer and suggest bringing in outside help.
LG Saddles up with Google Assistant
Layered on top of the DeepThinQ technology is the partnership between LG and Google. Part of the way ThinQ learns about the consumer's daily habits (and how the consumer can control their products) is through incredibly natural and sometimes complex voice commands. Of course, there's LG's hub robot, CLOi. But as the press conference demo showed, there are still some kinks that need to be worked out there.
Cloi looking cute on stage at CES 2018
So Google Assistant it is.
From various demos and videos that were shown, the technology will be included in a smart speaker from LG (which wasn't the prettiest looking thing, I might add), some appliances, its OLED TV, the Tone headphones, its smartphones, and more. The partnership makes sense for both companies and clearly opens up the possibility for deeper integration in the future. For a company like LG that does a lot of everything, this makes sense in that they don't have to try to build out a whole new division within the company that focuses on building an in-house voice assistant. Rather than doing that, they partnered up with the biggest name in search and the second-biggest name in voice. And for Google, it all comes down to search data, so partnering with one of the biggest tech companies out there to get their search/voice assistant into a good chunk of their products will certainly have its own payoffs.
Artificial intelligence is a terrifying concept for a lot of consumers, I know. But hearing how it could improve our efficiency and ease of living, it's easy to see how this is a technology that surely brings with it a ton of benefits. As analysts, I think we're all sold on the products and what the possibilities are. Consumers will get there, but the big pitch now needs to be how manufacturers will keep these products from rising up against mankind. Sounds very Terminator-esque for sure, but that's the mindset of the everyday consumer. Maybe not as doomsdayish, but LG and other companies dabbling in AI nee
