“ @romythexx : In August last year my friends and I started a football team called @whippets_fc I’d never played football properly or been part of team sports before, but having time off from tour it felt like the perfect opportunity to try. We joined a league and started playing once a week and training on Sundays, and by December we had won the league! 🏆 ☺️😍 So proud, love you all Whips! I’ve felt so much happier since being a Whippet, meeting amazing people with such a strong sense of friendship, community and support. Didn’t realise the effect football would have on me, haha. Thank you to @super5league for putting it all together, would recommend it to everyone! Gorge shoot for @dazed by our own 🌟📸 @cococapitan ❤️ “

Jets vs. Dolphins: resistible force against moveable object
MIAMI (AP) -- When the New York Jets run the ball Sunday, it will be a test of their blocking against the Miami Dolphins' tackling to see who's worse.
Both have been bad lately.
Miami (4-4) has given up 600 yards rushing in the past three games. A defensive decline, not an injury to quarterback Ryan Tannehill , is the biggest reason the Dolphins have lost four of their past five games.
''We've got to be better,'' safety Reshad Jones said. ''But there's no time to hit the panic button right now. We've got a lot of football left.''
The Jets (3-5) have averaged 2.8 yards per carry in the past three games while totaling 235 yards. After running back Bilal Powell suffered a season-ending neck injury in Week 7, the ground game generated just 57 yards in last week's loss at the Chicago Bears.
''I didn't think it was good at all,'' coach Todd Bowles said. ''They beat us up front, and they beat us to the punch.''
So it looks like an even matchup: the resistible force against the moveable object.
Here are things to know about the 106th meeting between two AFC East rivals sporting two-game losing streaks:
TURF WAR
The Dolphins are tied for 29th in the NFL in run defense. In the past three weeks, they've allowed 164, 248 and 188 yards on the ground, with big plays the biggest problem.
''There is no secret. There is no magic pill,'' five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake said. ''Each player has a gap or a man or a zone. You can do it right for 42 plays, and then on play 43 you're not there, and in this league they'll find that hole. They'll find that guy who's not doing their thing that they're supposed to be doing. And 80 yards later ...''
The Jets' recent rushing woes come after they gashed Denver in Week 5 for 323 yards, second-most in franchise history. Isaiah Crowell had a team-record 219 in that game, but in the past three weeks he has totaled just 94 yards in 37 carries.
The sputtering ground attack only increases the burden on rookie quarterback Sam Darnold .
''We can't be up and down,'' Bowles said. ''We've got to be consistent at it. If we want to throw the ball consistently, we've got to be able to run it consistently.''
SUBSTITUTE
Tannehill will miss his fourth game in a row because of an injury to his throwing shoulder. Replacement Brock Osweiler has a slightly better passer rating than Tannehill, with six touchdown throws and three interceptions in three games.
Osweiler passed for 241 yards in last week's 42-23 loss at Houston and said he's trying to play so well he doesn't go back to the bench.
''I had a laundry list of things after the Houston game that I want to clean up,'' he said. ''It was really about one page of notes. We have a great coaching staff, and they took that page of notes and turned that into drills - things I didn't do right in the game - in hopes that we can correct those mistakes and make sure that they never happen again.''
CATCH, IF YOU CAN
The Jets could be shorthanded again at receiver as Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa, Darnold's top targets, are dealing with ankle injuries.
Anderson missed the game at Chicago, and Enunwa has been sidelined the past two games. Without both, New York struggled to get the passing game going against the Bears. Rookie Deontay Burnett, a former teammate of Darnold's at USC, led the Jets with four catches for 61 yards.
''You hate to see Robby go down and Q go down, but that means someone's got to step up,'' Darnold said. ''It was cool for him to be able to step up the way that he did.''
FINDING THE END ZONE
Rookie tight end Chris Herndon is making catching touchdown passes a weekly thing.
The fourth-round draft pick out of the University of Miami has scored in each of the past three games, joining receiver Keyshawn Johnson (1996) and tight end Thurlow Cooper (1960) as the only rookies in franchise history to accomplish the feat.
Herndon is also tied with Philadelphia's Dallas Goedert for the most touchdowns among rookie NFL tight ends with three.
DEJA VU
The Jets are in a familiar spot at the halfway point, sitting at 3-5 after eight games for the third consecutive year.
They're hoping to finish better than they have the last two years, when they ended up 5-11.

Emily Carr: Into the Forest
Emily Carr: Into the Forest Where: Vancouver Art Gallery What: Far from feeling that the forests of the West Coast were a difficult subject matter, Carr exulted in the symphonies of greens and browns found in the natural world. With oil on paper as her primary medium, Carr was free to work outdoors in close proximity to the landscape. She went into the forest to paint and saw nature in ways unlike her fellow British Columbians, who perceived it as either untamed wilderness or a plentiful source of lumber. Runs until: March 4, 2018

In a Different Light
In a Different Light Where: Museum of Anthropology What: More than 110 historical Indigenous artworks and marks the return of many important works to British Columbia.

Through the voices of contemporary First Nations artists and community members, this exhibition reflects on the roles historical artworks have today. Featuring immersive storytelling and innovative design, it explores what we can learn from these works and how they relate to Indigenous peoples’ relationships to their lands. Runs until: Spring 2019

TEAMS: Dons drop Stanton, star Crow returns
Brent Stanton has been dropped by the Bombers
ESSENDON veteran Brent Stanton has paid the price for a quiet Anzac Day performance and has been axed for Sunday’s clash with Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.
Stanton, who turns 31 on Monday, only collected 11 touches against Collingwood and is one of four changes for the Bombers.
Veteran James Kelly, youngster Aaron Francis and ruckman Matthew Leuenberger have been rested with only a five-day turnaround.
Big man Tom Bellchambers is back for his first game since round 10, 2015, while Ben Howlett, Martin Gleeson and Conor McKenna also come into the 22. 
All the round six teams
The Demons have added prized recruit Jordan Lewis, back from suspension, among five inclusions as Simon Goodwin’s team attempts to square their win-loss ledger at 3-3.
Cam Pedersen will play his first game for the year after the loss of back-up ruckman Jake Spencer (shoulder) compounded All Australian star Max Gawn’s long-term hamstring injury.
Tomas Bugg, Oscar McDonald and Mitch Hannan are also back for Melbourne, with spearhead Jesse Hogan (father’s passing), Tim Smith (lung) and Spencer forced out.
Billy Stretch and James Harmes have been dropped.
Roos dump veterans, sore Cyril to miss
Under-pressure Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley has decided to manage star defender Ben Reid for a vital encounter against Geelong at the MCG.
The Pies are feeling the heat at 1-4, and will give a club debut to ex-Melbourne backman Lynden Dunn. Half-back Josh Smith returns with Jackson Ramsay omitted. 
The undefeated Cats have rested mercurial forward Dan Menzel, replacing him with midfielder Sam Menegola, who is back from suspension.
Jed Bews is also in, with Jackson Thurlow making way.
Adelaide‘s daunting firepower will become even more explosive against Richmond with Josh Jenkins included after three games on the sidelines with sore ribs.
Defender Jake Kelly has also been recalled for the top-of-the-table Crows, while Troy Menzel has been axed and Riley Knight (hamstring) is injured. Daniel Talia has also been named despite a hamstring injury in the first minute of last week’s win over Gold Coast.
The undefeated Tigers have brought back Steven Morris for his first game since a ruptured ACL in round 11 last season, coming in alongside Nick Vlastuin.
Todd Elton and Connor Menadue have been cut from the 22 which defeated Melbourne on Anzac Day eve.

Killing the Heart of Barley Barber Swamp
Photographed on eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee, Florida. May 1917. https://www.floridamemory.com/items/show/49347 Every time I post, I learn something.  After reading “The Once Great Forests of Indiantown,” Stuart’s multi-generational resident, and dear friend of my mother, wrote: “Jacqui, about 1968-9 my 4 hunting buddies and I went hunting in Indiantown in the Barley Swamp, there were huge…

Eco Envelope -close- to Halting Discharges
Hi everyone. I wanted to share an email written to me by Todd Thurlow yesterday that really made me smile. It shows that we are getting closer to the ACOE halting Lake Okeechobee discharges to the St Lucie River as the lake level is approaching where the Corps wants it to be prior to next hurricane season. And today was so sunny, not a cloud in the sky, surely the lake is even lower. Check…

Basin Management Action Plans and Total Maximum Daily Loads – the process by which the state of Florida is approaching cleaning up our polluted waters- is not working. Why?  “Until the public is able to understand how all of this stuff works, we’re never going to have accountability,” said Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch, SFWMD…

Drainage of Witham Field, Stuart
Drainage of Witham Field, Stuart
Images below from Todd Thurlow’s “East Ocean Blvd. & Dolphin Drive 1940, 1958 time capsule flight” reveals the drainage of  Witham Field in Stuart, Florida.For some reason as I drive around, I am preoccupied with drainage. Over-drainage that is. I always remember my father’s high school farmer friend Mr Haddad saying to me: “Jacqui, we spent one-hundred years taking the water off the land and…

Palm City, FL 1966 Then and Now w/ Todd Thurlow
Today’s blog post is about western Martin County Florida’s Palm City. This post includes  my mother’s inspiration, my brother Todd’s  time capsule flight video, and my writing. Palm City was once narrow strips of pine flatlands interspersed with hammocks, ponds, wide prairies, sloughs, sawgrass and cypress trees. Today it is a bustling part of Martin County due to the drainage of the C-23 canal…
