Albany Pregame Quotes (Round 1)
Albany Pregame Quotes (Round 1)March 15, 2007
2007 NCAA Mens Basketball Championship
First and Second Rounds
Nationwide Arena, Columbus, Ohio
Albany Locker Room Quotes
Jamar Wilson, senior guard
On lessons learned in the conference tournament I feel it definitely helped us out. Even though we didnt win, it showed any team can be defeated on any given day. You just need to play your hardest and do what you can do. You just control your own destiny.
On Virginias Sean Singletary Hes a good player. He is real explosive, a quick player and plays with a lot of heart just like his team. We just need to contain him.
On last years experience It was a great experience because last year was our first trip. We were just happy to get our feet wet. This year we are definitely trying to win, not to say we didnt try last year. I think the match-up is better this year with Virginia than UConn last year. We just need to make the best of it.
Jason Siggers, senior guard/forward
On last years experience What it really showed is that every team is 0-0 going into the tournament. You cant look at the name on the jersey or the conference they are from. That wont help you win. Anyone can beat anyone on any night.
On the tournament It is more intense than last year. Some people think we can win, but we still are the underdog. We just have to live in the moment and enjoy the game and the tournament. I love the atmosphere and it makes me want to play even more.
Brent Wilson, junior forward
On last years experience It gives us extra experience. To play against so many NBA prospects gave us a lot of confidence. We are a lot looser this year than last. We know the process this year.
On playing Virginia I am just going to stand my ground. We are going to stick with the game plan. They get up and down the court quickly. They are ACC athletes for a reason. If we can slow down the tempo it will definitely benefit us. To know this could be our seniors last game makes us want to play harder.
Brian Lillis, junior guard/forward
On the tournament last year Playing in the tournament last year gave us a lot of experience. We played with five or six NBA players. To be able to stay with them shows us we can play any team.
On playing an ACC team Our coaches do a good job of putting us in the right mind set. We are just going to play our best. We dont think of this game as playing an ACC team they are just another team.

Week beginning 11th April
Our Christian Value for the next two terms is 'Inspired' by… Hope and Creation and this week the whole school talked about how our senses (sight, taste, smell, touch and sound) can make us feel inspired and how the Bible tells us that God created the world for us to enjoy with all the senses we have been given.
We have also watched the story of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, as Vaisakhi, (A Festival to celebrate the beginning of the Sikh New Year), was on April 13th. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/stories/lets-celebrate-vaisakhiperformance.
Week beginning 18th April
This week we have looked at the value of 'Humility' and how this can be lived by serving others. We have related this to the Queen's 90th birthday looking at her role as the British monarch. We have also learned about St George, patron saint of England, both the facts about the real man and the legend of his courageous encounter with a dragon in order to save the life of a princess. We have listened to the National Anthem and recognised the Union flag as a symbol of belonging to Britain and the St George's Cross as an emblem of England and a component of the Union flag.
Week beginning 25th April
This week collective worship was based on being inspired by hope. This was through the story of the life and work of George Muller, a Christian who built orphanages in Bristol and improved the lives of many children.
Week beginning 3rd May
This week collective worship has been based in the classrooms as we have been having the hall windows replaced. We have been learning about British Traditions following May Day and 'The Birth of the Blue God' (Hindu Story).
Week beginning 9th May
We shared the Kindness Boomerang video to think about being caring towards our community and how that could look.
We also talked about Bristol Rovers' inspirational triumph last weekend and how their anthem 'Irene Goodnight Irene' made us feel when we listened to it.
Week beginning 16th May
Collective Worship
This week we have talked about being inspired using our senses and the children started to record their ideas for the 'Inspiration Tree' in the hall.
Mr Wilkinson also came over to lead our worship on Tuesday and talked to the children about the British Value of Freedom. He put this into context by telling them the bible story of Moses and how, over a thousand years ago, the Jews were living as slaves in Egypt. Moses led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt and led them to the Holy Land that God had promised them. We then all really enjoyed singing Louis Armstrong's 'Let my people go'.
Week beginning 6th June 2016
Collective Worship
Emma King led our Collective Worship on Tuesday and revisited the inspiring events of Wonder Week. The children also really enjoyed singing some of the songs again.
On Thursday we were inspired by the Hindu story of creation and identified symbols of world religions. We linked this with the British Values and Sachin pointed out the importance of respect. We also noticed some similarities between some religions.
Every day a different class is chosen to sit on benches at the back of the hall as a reward for coming into the hall sensibly and so far this week Daisy and Chestnut classes have earned this reward. Lots of children are also selected to sit on the brilliant behavior bench to set a good example to the other children
Week beginning 13th June
Collective Worship
This week the RNLI visited our school to talk to the children about how to stay safe near water when they are on holiday in the summer
Week beginning 20th June
Collective Worship
Monday's Collective Worship marked World Refugee Day and the children heard the story of 'The Good Samaritan. On Thursday we learned about 'Every Child's Rights' through the Unicef Website. The children were very engaged in this Collective Worship and felt very concerned that some children wouldn't be cared for and protected.
Week beginning 4th July
Collective Worship
Collective worship has been around children's rights and responsibilities as both members of our school and of the wider community. We were also lucky to have the library staff share our worship on Monday.
Week beginning 11th July
This week we have been thinking about friendship, including that of Jesus. We have heard about the birth of The Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and the celebration of Eid ul Fitr which happened on 5th July this year

Control and colonization in the name of culture has led to a loss of soul and a disconnection from both inner and outer nature. Athough the root of "cultivate" means to tend, honor or cherish, our tendency to tame, control, and avail ourselves of the natural "other" takes us further from teh wild potentiality of nature (and human nature) than ever before.
Our pathological estrangement from wilderness has led to increasing objectification, colonization, and even violence in the name of creating culture.

Whether you're considering purchasing a home for the first time or are a homeowner with a problem, it's important to know what your homeowners insurance may or may not cover. The problem is that not all insurance plans are the same. The type of plan you have depends on the insurance company you go with, the cost of the plan, and the amount of coverage that's provided in case of an incident. In general, the options that cost more have more coverage, and the options that are cheaper cover less damage.
Most insurance plans are based on an HO-3 plan, which cover basic damage to the home, but specifically exclude some issues. Damage due to fires, earthquakes, and floods may be excluded from your specific insurance plan. For these issues, you need to have instance-specific insurance in advance in order to be covered. Some insurance plans are based on the HO-2 and HO-1 options, which offer less coverage for less cost. A general HO-3 plan will usually cover damage to both people and property that arises from a vast number of causes. These generally include storms and weather damage, which includes damage from rain, lightning, or wind. Additionally, most plans cover plumbing or electrical issues, falling objects, air conditioning and heating problems, and any damage from aircraft. Depending on what caused it, explosions can also be covered. These plans also generally include intentional damage like theft or vandalism, as well as rioting or disorder damage to the home, possessions, and people.
Of course, when your home or property has been damaged, you need to know what 'coverage' entails. As far as structural damage, it's usually relevant to the cost of repairs or the value of the structure in today's dollars. This means that if the value of your home drops, the amount of compensation for a lost home can be lower. There may be limits on items like jewelry or cash, which might be covered if you purchase additional supplemental coverage. Generally, depreciation is a big part of the determination for compensation on items within the home. If you pay $1000 for a television that has a used resale value of only $250, you'll only be compensated $250 if the television is broken or stolen. It's very valuable to anticipate these specifics before it's time to file a claim.

Investing And Engaging In Activities For Team Building
A company does activities for team building to achieve positive results. The team building activities enhances an employee's motivation and productivity. Taking employees to a wonderful location will break down personal and political barriers, minimize distractions, and allow them to have fun. The benefits of these programs are so important that many businesses have integrated team building activities into their standard training programs. If a company engages in team building, you help your employees communicate, plan, do problem solving, and solve conflicts.
Here's a list of benefits teambuilding can do for your company:
- Builds morale: When you mingle with friends in a workplace, it enhances your productivity in the office. It makes you work better with colleagues as you both solve daily issues.
- Promotes teamwork and boost team performance:In doing activities for teambuilding, your team can bond together and perform a specific task. Expect that office projects are done easily together as employees learn to understand each other's interests, strengths, and weaknesses.
- Healthy competition: A healthy competition among employees help increase production, as it is done in a fun way.Employees learn to bond with each other to perform a specific task.
- Enhances collaboration and supports innovation and creativity: Activities for team building make employees tend to be more imaginative when they are with people they are comfortable with. A successful teambuilding event can make colleagues closer to each other. Therefore, they create an imaginative idea, which improves the company. Conflicts are minimized and they tend to collaborate during daily business activities.
- Builds trust: Teambuilding activities can mold trust among employees. Trust is crucial in a company, especially that teamwork is required on a daily basis to achieve objectives and make the company grow. Because they trust each other, they help one another and become more efficient.
- Develops effective communication: Activities for teambuilding make employees communicate freely with colleagues. They help solve an issue as a group. With efficient communication, there is more production as they become closer to one another.
So if your company decides to have activities for team building, select a conducive place where your employees can bond. Be it a small or big organization, you'll find teambuilding useful as it creates no barriers among employees.

Our ability to successfully complete complex fishing jobs and high pressure/long lateral programs with our stand alone snubbing units gives us an edge over other snubbing companies in the region. Another value-added service DWS offers is jointed pipe torque & drag well modeling.

We use this data to better pre-plan our jobs to ensure the right equipment and pipe selection is chosen for the well parameters in which we will be operating. It also allows us to run post job simulations with the data captured during the operation to cross reference the accuracy of the program and to use as a learning tool for future wells. Unique to the Appalachian Basin, our 10M – 7 1/16″ 142K hybrid unit's with rotary tables can either work Rig Assist or Standalone operations via a removable gin pole.

DWS uses KPI data that tracks a wide array of operational procedures such as rig up, pressure test, TIH to KP, mill times, TOH, TIH production, and rig over/out times, etc. We gauge the onsite KPI times against a benchmark time that we have set as a minimum of what each task should take to grade ourselves and see where our efficiencies, or lack there of, happened on site. Our KPI's not only track operations efficiencies, but also capture the KPI score for environmental and safety targets on pad.
DWS' corporate expectations require employees to ensure mechanical and operational integrity throughout the development of preventive maintenance programs, mechanical integrity procedures, employee training and tracking systems to ensure completion of action items from risk assessments, hazard analyses and audits.

I rather like the banner for my articles page of my new website tamarathiessen.com even if apparently Old English (Fraktur) text – the Hot Off The Press bit in this header – went out of fashion with the Nazis. Highly decorative and at times impossible to read – I did improve the readability by changing the font away from capitals. After all a website is all about 'transparency' … but not to the point of being boring!
But it's all these vintage travel posters I came across while searching just that, which I love. My stories are as globetrotting as myself – I write and photograph for the inflight publications of some 20 different airlines and counting … (even when the occasional one falls out of the sky …sorry that's not on I know but there will be no naming names … ) So naturally I am besotted with everything about travel – and travel history. I am equally fascinated by it because it is my sole and such a vital lifeline connecting me with the outer world from my end of the world island of Tasmania.
In truth I am actually a travel writer who is terrified deep down of air travel … go figure …but this will have to be the subject of another blog.
Ah have things ever been so dependable as the good old days of the Flying Boats. These amazing contraptions initially took 13 days to fly from Rose Bay in Sydney to Southport in the UK (please pay this a thought when you are next in the Qantas (or Ethiad or Singapore Airlines etc. executive lounge). Mini golf was one (incredibly modern) diversion, as was fishing in all the ports along the way. And there was some kind of martini lounge where people gathered by night (night after night after night) in their fashionable pant suits.
These planes were run by Imperial Airways (from around the 1930s) who were a forerunner to Qantas. Despite the intensely excruciating length of the trip the epoch is heralded as the golden days of travel (So many hundreds and thousands of people are reluctant to do the 'kangaroo route' today and it only takes 24 hours! What's a day and many gin and tonics later? It's Australia that's what it is …well worth the pain).
Anyway I am constantly getting off the point … which was? … These delightful techno-colored vintage travel ads in Time Magazine colours. Difficult to get nostalgic for such days, romance aside – in terms of the effort (and money) required. It cost a bomb to escape Australia for Europe in those days. These days it's just a fleeting internet booking – still exy but peanuts relatively speaking – it cost a year's salary at least in the 1950's so really only a reserve of the rich.
… For the Mad Men-like ads yes, I get a little watery-eyed. For they conjure up all the lost wonder of days when going places was truly exotic. Not just a low-cost dream (a 99 cent Ryan Air online flight) but something far more difficultly attained. And in that, there was a lot of magic. Like all things hard-earned.
That said … I must go and book my coming trip home to Australia online! The Kangaroo Route is still much more than a simple hop, skip and jump, but it's not going to take me a fortnight to return. Can you imagine – just the packing for the journey itself – let alone the destination would require some forward planning. And you would never want to do such a lengthy trip with Brunei Airways (Brunei equals dry … It's hard enough surviving the 10 hour flight on Royal Brunei Airlines without a drink let alone 2 weeks … then again I have smuggled on a hip flask rather successfully). Bon voyage!

Found 29th Nov 2011
George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Spike Jonze (director of Being John Malkovich) play a quartet of US soldiers who, disillusioned by Operation Desert Storm, decide to steal $23 million in gold hijacked from Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's army. Getting the bullion out of an Iraqi stronghold is easy; keeping it is a potentially lethal proposition. By the end of their mercenary mission, the Americans can no longer ignore war-time atrocities, and conscience demands their aid to Kuwaiti rebels abandoned by President George Bush's fickle war-time policy. This is serious stuff indeed, but Russell infuses Three Kings with a keen sense of the absurd, and the entire film is an exercise in breathtaking visual ingenuity. Despite a conventional ending that's mildly disappointing for such a brashly original film, Three Kings conveys the brutal madness of war while making you laugh out loud at the insanity

Neighbourhood Plan – What's in it for us?
Neighbourhood Plans have been introduced by Government to encourage local communities to have a much greater say on community planning. This means the future development of Eight Ash Green would be in our own hands, rather than with third parties such as Developers, Colchester Borough, Essex County Council or Central Government.
Eight Ash Green already has a Parish Plan and Village Design Statement. These were put in place following a detailed and lengthy consultation with villagers, and completed by village volunteers. Both were adopted by Colchester Borough Council as supplementary planning guidance. They provide an aspirational plan for the future of our village, but they are not intended to specify the extent and location of future development.
The 2017-2032 Borough Local Plan
Colchester Borough Council has just started work on the Borough Local Plan for 2017-2032, which entails finding sites for some 16,000 new homes. Several local land-owners see Eight Ash Green as ideally situated for large-scale development, and have made representations in the initial call for development sites. Unless tightly controlled, we could see 600 to 1000 new houses being built by 2032, which would completely change the character of the Village.
If we have a Neighbourhood Plan, local people will be able to influence the extent of development, where that development takes place, and what other infrastructure should be provided. However, "No Development" is not an option. All villages will be asked to take some development to provide for their local needs, typically 20 – 50 homes between 2017 and 2032, according to the size of the village.
So the first action is for the Village to decide whether it wants a Neighbourhood Plan. If it does, then a Plan will be produced by the Parish Council but we need volunteers to help us. A Neighbourhood Plan will determine the future development of our community and the additional facilities that should be provided.
If we decide not to proceed with a Neighbourhood Plan, then the decisions on any future development in our Village will be imposed on us by Colchester Borough Council or by Central Government.
What is the Neighbourhood Plan and Why Bother?
A Neighbourhood Plan would be based on the proven evidence-based need for residential development, and a decision by the village on where it should be located. The Draft Neighbourhood Plan must be reviewed by a Government Planning Inspector, and adopted by the Village in a referendum. The Approved Neighbourhood Plan then becomes a statutory part of Colchester Borough Council's planning policy.
The key points include:
- Acceptance that future development will occur, but any change will be greatly influenced by the approved Neighbourhood Plan.
- A focus on what the types, numbers and location of housing the village community believe is needed in the future.
- A demonstration that the plan for the future is both acceptable to the majority of residents and complies with legal statute.
- An acceptance that the Neighbourhood Plan means that the prospect of future development is linked to benefits that accrue for the community as a whole.
What if we do not have a Neighbourhood Plan?
Initially nothing will alter for a while, unless and until we become the target for developers. There has already been a presentation to the Parish Council by a major developer. For communities without a Neighbourhood Plan there is already a presumption in favour of the developer to build where they can show a need and or a reason to develop. Without a Neighbourhood Plan, development can be imposed upon the Village without taking into account the views of residents.
What happens next?
Before the Village can start producing a Neighbourhood Plan, we have to demonstrate to Colchester Borough Council that:
- We have consulted with the Village and there is a broad majority agreement in favour of producing a Plan.
- There is general agreement on the boundary of the plan (eg the whole Civil Parish, part of the Village, or just the central areas).
- The Parish Council has passed a resolution that the Neighbourhood Plan should proceed, and that it will be the statutory body responsible for the Plan.
For more information please take a look at the Neighbourhood Plan website at eightashgreen.net/

Have you rooted your Android phone before now? Or someone helped you root it? You're still in the same boat and this news might not hit you in the best of places, as Google is denying users who have rooted their Android phones the access to install some Apps directly from PlayStore.
As much as you might think you rooted your phone to hold some advantages over uprooted ones, but google doesn't think that way. They have then decided to leave you all hang to dry, but don't worry, there's still a way.
A report was released some time back that some users were not able to download the Netflix application directly from the Google play store. Due to the 'no idea' state of many users as the reason for this was very much unknown, Android Authority suggested that it could be partly due to "Netflix's adoption of the Google's Widevine DRM protection". We should also put in mind that not only Netflix have adopted this protection, some other apps have too.
The Google Widevine DRM protection is a useful tool which also gives developers the power to choose whether their apps are available for download by rooted users on the PlayStore or not. Still yet, we do not know the aim of this move but many have opined that it is to tighten security.
Is your Android phone rooted already? Don't worry as I told you earlier that we got your back. To download apps, just head to any third party site and download the apk file. After which all you have to do is locate the file in the file manager and install directly.
So you might still be wondering if to still root your phone or not. It depends on your personal conviction, but I can tell you that if you are wondering about installing apps, that shouldn't be your worry at all.

It does not matter how much money you make, if your home is a "liquidity trap", you will have to sell or it will be forever a drag.
Queen Elizabeth ll is having some serious cash flow issues due to the crumbling palaces the Royal family owns. This is a common problem I see regularly in my practice with old properties. Just last week, a young couple came in with huge debt issues mainly caused by their 100 year old heritage home. The woman cried when I mentioned that the home is too much of a burden on their finances and they would never be able to get ahead financially if they did not stop the bleeding now. If you add the risk of home prices falling with the rise of interest rates, you have a foreclosure and bankruptcy situation looming. "But I bought this house with the money my mother left me when she died" she said. I almost cried with her. Those who know me, know how easy it is for me to shed a tear or two especially when I totally understand how difficult it will be for her to part from her dream home. But really, Mom would want you to make the best decision, I told her.
Old homes are too often money pits. They require maintenance galore, forever. Do your due diligence before buying an old house and after making your estimations on ongoing costs, double them. You need a large and secure cash flow to sustain an old house. Make rational decisions and avoid getting in the romantic feeling of owing a beautiful but onerous old home.

Or Munich as it's commonly known in English. We had a beautiful train journey from Verona yesterday through the alpine valleys through to Munich where we're staying with one of my friends called Dave. He lives in a shared house in Munich's equivalent of Park Lane. We just got up at 7:30am to go into the Octoberfest tent to start drinking. Apparently the tables are all full at 10:00, which makes this craziness necessary. Dave and his girlfriend Ellie are dressed up in the traditional Bavarian outfits. I'll let you know how the event goes later.
Month: September 2007
The reason for the unusual shortage of posts this holiday is due to the almost complete internet vacuum that we've been in this week in Piemonte. Yes really, no Facebook.
Rural Piemonte is not an obvious holiday destination for English people, because it doesn't have the usual sightseeing or sunbathing opportunities. I'm not sure why Katie picked it as a destination, but I'm glad she did because it's full of vineyards, hence lots of wine tasting, grape stealing, and arguing with Italians over wine prices.
Well, perhaps not the arguing, it's really not necessary. They sell the wine by the litre from petrol pumps, and at about the same prices as petrol, and the locals bring their jerry cans to fill up. I tried to persuade them to send some to England, but they weren't having any of it, so instead, I've currently got my arm in traction carrying four bottles home. One is a fizzy red.
One day we braved the tourists and drove down to the Cinque Terre on the coast. These are five villages originally devoted to fishing, now devoted to feeding Americans, Germans, Italians and a pair of Brits. There were some nice walks, one of which we left a bit late, so it became (to quote a passing Italian Granny), "Tutto buio" (all dark).
Now we're in Verona where we've already completed the obligatory sightseeing (Juliette's balcony and the Roman amphitheatre). That didn't take long. Now we're off for a drink.
In Italia
It was the usual route – Birmingham to London to Paris to Milan, where we collapsed in a heap for a night, but only after enjoying some excellent Cucina Milanese. We ate and drank next to the canal, where the seats point inwards to face the people walking along "in passagiata".
Yesterday, after a stroll through the city via a regional food festival entitled "Butchers for Children", the delights of which we elected to avoid, we picked up the hire car.
We arrived at our destination for the next few nights, a beautiful guest house in Piemonte. It is immaculately finished to a scary degree and owned by a British couple who also operate a vineyard. And yes, the local Barbera is excellent. I just wish my Italian was better.
Shared items
I've started sharing items I find interesting from my Google Reader subscriptions. I read about 300 headlines a day, but only share about one or two a day. The link is here.
Katie's posted a short article about the most recent Pilot night on her blog.

By Mary T. Hoffman
I was glad to read in the Autumn 2007 Bulletin of The Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals (ASWA) that the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics is holding a conference on 18 September at Keble College, Oxford, England; and that The purpose of this conference is to look at the relationship between animal abuse and human violence, and will be Britains first major international academic conference on this theme and covers a wide range of academic perspectives including psychology, ethics, sociology, law, criminology, anthropology and philosophy.
The Bulletin article goes on to say that Robert Ressler, an FBI serial Killer Profiler, has claimed that murderers very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids.
I wonder how long it will take for humans to finally admit that all abuse is wrong, and that biomedical researchers who utilize animals, the animal agriculture industry, fish killing, etc. are not exempt. The killing and torture of any sentient being is abhorrent, regardless of the twisted reasons given by the perpetrators and their supporters.
Its fairly obvious to anyone who gives it any thought and is willing to face the truth that all cruelty to humans has its roots in the exploitation of animals.
I want to add a few more thoughts about this rampant, increasing, world-wide problem. Isnt it interesting how humans, who are quick to condemn and rightly so serial killers and high-profile, media-hyped criminals who kill dogs, for example, at the same time contribute to and hold in high esteem those who are responsible for far more abuse and killings that are routine?
Can this be because the relatively few, well-publicized killings offer an object or scapegoat, shall we say for the public to vent on; so that the socially acceptable cruelties such as hunting, fishing, animal entertainment and, of course, the hidden atrocities of the billions of animals in factory farms and slaughterhouses, can flourish?
In all this mayhem, where are the majority in this country who claim to believe in God? Why are they among the first in line to accuse animal advocates of being self-righteous? Isnt it ironic that today, in sheer numbers, the round-the-clock slaughter of animals far exceeds anything that the ancients were able to do with all their sacrifices and entertainment? Yet, what are most of those who call themselves Christians doing to stem the tide of abuse?
As long as people continue to fund cruelty through money spent on animal- exploiting products and charities the atrocities will not only continue, theyll escalate. Looking the other way and insulting the few, who are really trying to live by a higher standard for the good of all creation, will only lead to the earths destruction from which there will be no turning back.

This was a random idea that popped into my head during history class (the video on the Crusades had nothing to do with it). I hope you enjoy it and decide to send me a review!
The cell was anything but cozy. Concrete floor, concrete walls, low concrete ceiling. James could stand up straight, but Victor had to crouch if he wanted to stretch his legs. One wall was lined with steel bars whose foundations were buried deep in the rough cement.
The brothers were sitting as far away from each other as possible. Victor was leering at Jimmy like he'd been sniffing mustard gas, but James was glaring at the wall. No way in hell was he looking that bastard in the eye.
They'd had a good thing going for a while. Maybe it was a little too tame for Victor to enjoy, but he couldn't really complain. The men treated them fairly, though no one ever got too close, and they'd seen plenty of action. This war had made it easier than ever for them to hide what set them apart.
But Victor...James' jaw clenched imperceptibly, and he was hard-put to keep his breathing even. Nothing he could do about his heartbeat, though. He didn't look at Victor, but he knew his brother's grin would be damn near reaching around his head by now.
Jimmy had to correct himself. It hadn't really been Victor's fault, what had gone down back there in that village. Sure, Creed could've been a little more subtle with his gal. Sure, he'd started it all on his own. But that goddamn pussy fucker Perlin should've looked the other way. He'd never liked the boys, sure. But he owed them. They were his best fighters; James knew Victor did a lot of it just because he loved the blood, but they both went into it no matter what tightass said to them just before they left. Fuck him if he wouldn't give them both an extra chance.
It didn't matter now. The Sergeant was dead and no one trusted the boys any more. If James offered to shine a guy's shoes, he'd probably get a bullet through the chest.
Not that he was about to become anybody's new best friend. All the other bastards could go to hell; he didn't give a shit any more. He was damn tired of trying to be nice to a bunch of skinny little cunts in uniform.
Victor picked up a rat that had crawled through a hole in the wall. The guard outside the cell jumped to attention as Creed purred, "You gonna help us get outta this shithole, little guy?" The man had been sleeping on the job and Victor was enjoying the soldier's fright, a wicked glint in his wolfish eyes. James glared at Victor from under his heavy brows; he wasn't in the mood to be tortured, and his brother was just being a cur. If he hadn't wanted to be heard he'd have kept his voice much lower than that. "Can't I have some fun, little brother?" Victor said in the same loud tone, and Jimmy rumbled a low growl in response. The guard definitely didn't hear it.
How long had they been sitting in this godforsaken cell? At least a day; this was their second night. James wondered what they were planning out there. The obvious penalty for the thing they'd done was death, so why the wait? He wished they'd get the fucking thing over with. He was attached to his brother by virtue of shared blood than anything else lately; he'd always known Victor was ruthless, but he'd been careless as of late.
This hellhole was the obvious result.
The sun rose over the horizon just as a group of four soldiers came to take the brothers to their execution. Logan didn't know any of them; someone at the top of the totem pole must've thought the boys might convince someone from their old squad to let them go. James shook his head at the thought and let out a humorless laugh that made the guards jump; Victor glanced at him and grinned. "Gettin' into the spirit, little brother?" he asked. Logan shrugged. "Thinkin' bout gettin' away, actually," he said with a growl. Victor snorted; he could tell that Jimmy was just messing around, but the both of them could smell the fear rising around them.
"I dunno if that's such a good idea, Jimmy, these boys is pretty damn high-strung. They might shoot ya or sumthin'." Victor smiled again, fangs white against his lips, and Logan coughed out another laugh. "They sure as hell might," he said in a low voice. "It wouldn't be the first time."
It was gonna be a hot one. The sky was clear and blue, almost white near the horizon, and the son was a white-hot disc in the sky. It might have been bearable without the humidity, but the jungle surrounding the base was providing plenty of water to mix with the air. There wasn't even a breeze. Logan thought about the cell they'd be left to bake in later; it only took a second for the idea to wipe away his good humor from before. Fuck. He wasn't in the mood for this shit at all. But Victor hadn't cut himself loose yet, so James figured he could wait. He couldn't get away without spearing some of the boys anyway, so why bother?
They were tied to a pair of posts right smack in the middle of the compound. Every man who was healthy enough to walk had to come watch the display; someone else may have seen it as bad luck, but to the boys it was nothing new. Just tradition. Victor grinned at the crowd, not-so-subtly baring his teeth as he was tied up. Logan just watched. The soldiers were organized into their troops; it wasn't hard to find the one he'd been a part of.
Maybe that wasn't the right way to say it...the brothers had never really been a part of the group. But they'd gotten to know the men well enough, and James always found himself watching the reactions the other men had to him and his brother when they discovered what they were dealing with.
He hadn't always been as mild about how fellow soldiers saw him. The first time the brothers had been revealed, he was afraid for his life. It took a while for fear to fade into embarassment, embarrassment to chagrin. Chagrin to detached curiosity. Maybe he'd stop caring one day, but until then he'd keep watching. At the very least, it gave him something to do.
Most of the men were glaring, hostility, disgust and sometimes curiosity plain on their faces. A few wouldn't meet Logan's penetrating gaze, everything else fair game as long as they didn't have to look at him. The ground, the trees, the clouds...their avoidance was only too obvious. When they glanced furtively at him from the corners of their eyes and realized that he was still watching him, they'd jerk away like they'd been shot.
Those, he knew from experience, were the ones that considered themselves his friend.
Well, no more. If they didn't keep their distance after this, and they usually did, he'd make sure he stayed away on his own. They never stuck around anyway; their loyalties were compromised. James wasn't one to bet on a lame horse, as it were, and those horses were standing on three bad legs.
The firing squad took their positions, long rifles dull with fresh grease. Half-shining in the heat of the sun, the job of cleaning the guns had been left to the newer recruits. Damn kids, ain't got no respect... the thought ran through Logan's head unbidden. Jesus, he sounded like an old man. His frown deepened, memories flinging his thoughts backwards into a time before America had all fifty states. A lecture, his father firmly rebuking him for some disrespect he'd shown his mother. "Young man, your mother has complimented you generously for your talent; you would not show her a smile or any thanks for that kindness?" And then James himself, in a mockingly polite tone. "No, father, I haven't the time." Getting paddled hurt like hell back then.
"Last words?" the commanding officer snapped, clearly pressing the execution forwards so he would have to waste as little time as possible on the brothers.
"See ya at dinner," Victor offered with a wicked grin. Logan ground his teeth at that, but didn't bother to comment on it. To the soldier he growled, "Ain't got nuthin' ta say."
The commander nodded quickly, smelling of fear after Victor's prediction, and stepped away. Somewhere in the back of the crowd, a man's voice called out the signals.
At 'ready', the marksmen stood to attention.
At 'aim', they held their rifles up to their shoulders
And at 'fire', they pulled their triggers.
In military executions, gunmen are told to aim for the heart. This preserves the criminal's face for embalming and burial ceremonies. Logan knew this well, so he was somewhat prepared for the volley of shots that ripped through his chest.
That didn't stop it from hurting like hell.
Six bullets shuddered through his chest, splintering ribs and puncturing lungs. Four of the shots cut through his heart in different places. Logan gasped reflexively and fell halfway to the ground before he caught himself. No, dammit, I'm not gonna be the one to fall! he thought to himself, straightening his knees with a motion that should have been impossible. He had a running bet with Victor and executions; the one that fell owed the man left standing a month's pay. Logan usually won-at least he had for the past three times-and he wasn't going to break his lucky streak.
It was silent after the deed was done, every man in the audience waiting apprehensively for whatever came next. Logan could easily smell the fear above the scent of his own blood...there was a lot more fear, that was for sure. His wounds had already stopped bleeding, and he felt his breathing deepen as his lungs knit back together. His heart, too. A movement caught his eye and he glanced over to see Victor pull his claws out of the wood of his post with a jerk.
"You owe me again," Logan said languidly.
"I don't owe you a fucking cent," Victor snarled back.
The yard was still silent, but the scent of adrenaline increased exponentially. A few of the men took a step back and a few crossed themselves. Two raised their own guns before thinking better of it and dropping the weapons again, fingers twitching against the triggers. This was definitely not what they had expected to see.
Oh well. So much for tradition. "Anyone got a cigar?" Logan asked in a voice just loud enough for everyone to hear, eyes piercing as his skin smoothed seamlessly over the bullet holes. He always seemed to like a smoke more after something like this.

In Annapolis, economic growth has come to a virtual standstill and tax revenues are insufficient to balance the city budget. This stagnation has led to an unemployment situation which has been linked to a sharp rise in crime statistics. It has already forced the City council to confront choices: to either raise taxes or cut City services. We already seen a call to increase the number of police officers and can you imagine even higher taxes which have already chased people from our community. What or who will be forced to bear the burden of poor fiscal planning and a no-growth agenda by those of privilege? Annapolis deserves better choices than this.
We, as members of Annapolis community, must take a stand and rally around the idea of creating jobs, and bringing in businesses that can provide a good living to the members of our community in need of employment. Time and time again there have been businesses wanting to establish themselves in our city, but were forced out by the false idea of too much growth.
For example, because Westfield Annapolis Mall was pushed out of our city, over $23 million in tax revenue was lost in the last five years. The Annapolis Towne Center could have been a City project as well. It is here and frequented by Annapolitans who do not benefit from its tax revenue.Such projects are immensely beneficial, and yet are routinely halted, often by activists residing outside of our city. Fortunately, Annapolis can encourage responsible development opportunities which balance economic development with good land planning.
The City of Annapolis needs to understand that the majority of its residents are trying to make a good life for their families in Annapolis. They need public services and local employment opportunities. They can't afford the higher cost of living which gets passed down by higher taxes to the goods and services they need. And, they need to have their voice respected in the political process as well as those fortunate enough to promote a no-growth agenda.

For more than 25 years the Tenderworks team have been building Custom Tenders, high performance Sailing Boats and one off Motorboats.
As a testament to timeless styling and superior build quality many tenders launched in the 90's are still in service with their Superyachts today. Other iconic boats, designed and built by the team, have influenced the direction and style of today's industry.
Tenderworks has established a purpose built facility in Warmond, Holland. Just 20 minutes from Schiphol and with direct access to the lake, the Tenderworks facility is centred in the heart of the Dutch marine industry.
Our vast wooden hanger, originally built for aircraft construction, has been completely refitted with state of the art equipment to create the ultimate boat building cathedral. Its wooden arches span some 30 meters and its unique construction combined with under floor heating and environmental control creates the perfect environment for boat building.
The Tenderworks team are now producing their best ever work and are about to launch some of the highest quality Tenders and Chase Boats ever produced.

Actress and self-confessed comic book fan Rosario Dawson would jump at the chance to portray the character She-Hulk onscreen, if she ever gets the opportunity.
The Sin City star currently portrays nurse Claire Temple in Marvel's hit Netflix series Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, and she will also reprise the role for the upcoming The Defenders show, but she has another dream Marvel role she'd love to play.
She's like to bring Jennifer Walters and her alter ego She-Hulk to life on the big screen.
Although there are no current plans to involve The Hulk Bruce Banner's cousin in any future Marvel projects, the actress insists she's game to go green.
One Twitter follower broached the topic online on Wednesday (08Dec16), telling Rosario, "Always thought you'd make a great SHE-HULK".
The compliment prompted the star to express her interest in the gig, replying, "Would be honored to assume the responsibility...!"
Mark Ruffalo currently plays Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk, in the Avengers movie franchise.

New Duma update

Posted 22 May 2017 - 10:30 PM
there is no saying, it will be ready when it's ready, sure there having to do stress tests, may be a month or two, I believe no more than two months don't quote me on that though.

this starts to look more and more like a scam.. (and yeah before the white knight speak we paid for the product..)
i would be pissed at Apple if they left the same iPhone software since i bought it.
and the white knight bot answers : Apple have 50000 dev , duma just one..
these threads are useless because people here are either brainwashed, have no clue or don't care..
Netduma as a company is one of my biggest disappointment.

@adel75: Just a heads up: I will allow you to complain, moan, and groan but if you continue to post such inflammatory rhetoric, I will be forced to lock it. I am trying to be patient and to allow you to vent your frustrations. I know everyone on these forums is anxious about the upcoming firmware being released (so am I).
Consider this an official warning.

Good question. But it is what it is. Maybe some info will be released soon.

Because they clearly think that we dont deserve one! Pure and simple!

I understand why everyone is so upset. I also understand how hard developing new firmware is.
I know that when DumaOS Beta actually hits people will be happy.
Remember what Beta actually means!
A Beta is after the Alpha builds.
Beta's should be mostly bug-free with few problems.
I'm sure this is what the Duma team is striving for
That's why it's taking time.
If they released a problematic Beta it'll get a bad rep. Which would hurt the overall image of NetDuma.
Games have this happen all the time. A bad Beta can result in an unfair assessment of the full product.
All that being said I'm excited and ready as well.
I think really where things got messy is giving us any dates at all.
Most big companies wouldn't dare give an estimated date because of situations like these.
At this point, I think just a general progress report without a date and the occasional screenshot would help.
What I like about NetDuma is they are small and don't have that big company "up yours" mentality.
If you post in the forum it get's read by someone who is actually working on the product.
Not some random guy that has to relay everything.
I had a bad experience with Dlink and trying to help them fix their broken firmware on the DGL5500. It's still broken years later.
Every time I've needed help the Duma team is right on it.
That's one of the many reasons I love my NetDuma.
I hope that they grow but never get so bit they can't directly communicate with us.
As mentioned above I think just bi-weekly blog or screenshot would definitely help.
Backing off and just working on the firmware after teasing some is a really not a great way to keep people engaged.
It creates bad mojo and long threads asking for more info.
I'm just as excited and impatient as most are for DumaOS.
Hopefully, we get the something in regards to progress sometime soon.
I truly believe in this product.
So much so that I mention it to any gamer willing to listen.
I stream Mon-Fri 10am MT on Twitch.tv/KindaBusted (Shameless Plug) and almost every stream mention the NetDuma.
I'm gonna keep lurking the forums waiting for the next drop of info.
Everyone take it easy

I did ask to get you guys an update a week or two ago and that was the plan but then we were really really busy on DumaOS (read working morning till night for 2 weeks straight). Now that it's calmed a bit I will again request an update for you.

I really don't know why folk on here are getting the hump about it...it's free. Like i said in another post where someone else was throwing their toys out the pram, i'd rather have a stable build than for them to rush it out and it being a failure cause you moaning idiots are....well....moaning.
It's a big update, i'm sure they are all doing the best they can, yes maybe they shouldn't of given an estimated date, but i'm not crying about it.
So, shut up, and wait patiently like i and other folk on here have.
Rant over.....yet again.

Standing in the park, I was wondering why a Frisbee gets larger the closer it gets. Then it hit me.
Posted 28 May 2017 - 03:41 PM
For me the issue isn't about it being delayed, it's the fact that they've been vocal about what was happening and then weeks ago, they just went silent. Nada. Nothing. Just a black hole.
People can accept delays with a little information (reason), but delays without a reason is unacceptable.
So I see the 'silence' as major problems were found. Otherwise they would've just come up with another reason, to tell us, for the delay.
There are problems with the current firmware, so I understand the frustration from some people about the delay. Especially since they've said they're not fixing the current firmware issues and only working on DumaOS.

People buy phones all the time and dont get updates or get the latest andriod version but the main thing to remember is, does the phone work?
The netduma router as is, is a beast and you should be getting the best possible connection if you know how to tinker with the router.
So when you feel like jumping on here talking about why its taking so long for the upgrade, how about just jump on your console or PC and use the Netduma.
Remember, does it work? Yes it does, is the next upgrade going to make it better? Yes it will, so standby and game on until we get that upgrade.

It is the broken timelines that made people upset. Then the few teaser screenshots that weren't that much different. Then more delays. Then nothing.
My phone does everything I need it to do because I rooted it and made it the way I wanted. The manufacturers of technology rarely have installed everything that the end user wanys and that is ok. It's when you promise something and not deliver it is when the end users vocalize their frustrations. These frustrations lead to a virus of people spreading their discontent and rumors start flying. Without someone quelling the rumors and giving any kind of explanations, it multiplies.
Eventually, the marketplace will produce a competing product and competition breeds inovation. So it's either the company step up and deliver or the money goes elsewhere. That's capitalism.

Minefield - 0.1
A Minesweeper clone with a retro feel.
Paul Paterson
A Minesweeper clone with a retro feel.
Clear the field of mines by infering their location. When you click on a square it will tell you how many mines are adjacent to that square. Use this information to work out where the mines are and clear the rest of the field.
As a memory aid you can place flags where you think a mine is.
Three levels give you three different size fields to clear. Compete against others online to have the best time to beat a level.
Version 0.2 includes both the classic gameplay and an enhanced mode with some different gameplay features.
Minefield 0.2.1 — 26 Jul, 2013

Very nice. Two things I noticed. You are able to tag cells that have already been designated clear with numbers (including empty zero cells). The second is one of my favorite minesweeper functions missing; that being the ability to click both mouse buttons on top of a number which already has the prerequisite number of mines tagged around it, investigating all other adjacent cells in one click. The key to speed sweeping :p
Paul Paterson 2013-07-26 03:59:57
Yes - you are right, I'll fix those.
It's funny - I had this nagging feeling that I had missed something but I couldn't remember what it was. It was the double button click! And now I see the reason ... because I just switched to OSX and ... only one mouse button ;)
Paul Paterson 2013-07-26 16:18:54
Thanks for these reports - I fixed these (and the broken high score reporting) in v0.2.1
The "double button click" is actually just implemented by left-clicking on a revealed square that has all of its flags set. This does make a remarkable difference! Thanks again for noticing and reporting it.

Universal Credit could be a game-changer for claimants. Less time waiting in JobCentre Plus, more time to gain skills or find work. There are very few jobs that you can do – let alone apply for – these days without at least basic digital skills, particularly when it comes to secure, regular employment. It makes sense then, that 'digital by default' is a central principle of Universal Credit.
There are 12.6 million people in the UK without basic digital skills. Low digital literacy is closely linked to socioeconomic background – the poorer you are the less likely you are to be able to use a computer, tablet or smartphone. You're also more likely to be disabled, have fewer educational qualifications and be older. But there's also a growing cohort of young people who might spend half their day glued to their phone on Snapchat, but wouldn't know where to start if you showed them a keyboard and mouse. It's very difficult to write a good CV on a smartphone.
Tinder Foundation has helped 89,000 jobseekers in the past alone. Too often, people come to one of our Online Centres having being given an email address and told to get on with it. That's a recipe for frustration and disillusionment. We help those people become confident digital users through our learning platform, Learn My Way, and with face-to-face support. This includes building CVs, using Universal Jobmatch and sending emails with attachments.
We're specialists in user-centred design and have the unique challenge of designing digital courses for people who have often never really been online before. It's great that the same approach is being taken with Universal Credit digital services.
Getting as many claimants as possible to shift channels from face-to-face and phone to digital is a worthy goal – not only will people be able to access government services in the most efficient and responsive way, but they're taking the first steps towards the myriad of other ways that digital can improve people's lives, from staying in touch with friends and family to online banking, and learning new skills through online courses.
