10 Fun Water Games For Kids
Beat the scorching heat with some lovely water games you can introduce to your kids. Let them not be always locked in the air-conditioned rooms for the fear of heat.
1. Jump Over The Water:
Make sure your kids and the whole family participates in this fun game.
You Will Need:
- A water hose
- An open area, like a garden or backyard
How To:
- One person has to act as the jump master. The master will sit on the floor with the hose and spray the water.
- In the beginning, the water hose should be at the ground level.
- The others have to jump over the water line and cross to the other side.
- With each round, the master has to increase the height of the water line.
- The person who gets hit first with the water has to swap places with the master.
- The game starts again from the lowest level.
2. Water Blast Off:
Play along as a family or involve your kids and their friends.
You Will Need:
- A water hose
- Toys
- Ropes
How To:
- Make a big circle or square on your lawn using ropes. Place the toys inside the shape.
- Ask your kid to sit outside at some distance and aim at the toys using the water hose.
Set a timer for your kid to throw out the toys outside the shape with the force of the water.
The kid who throws out the maximum number of toys in the limited time is the winner.
3. Rain Dance:
You can never have a summer water activity without some fun rain dance.
You Will Need:
- Water sprinkler
- Music
How To:
Set up the water sprinkler in your lawn and put on the music. The rest will follow.
4. Water Gun Tagging:
The classic game and can never go wrong. Play this toned down version of a fun color tagging game.
You Will Need:
- A water gun
- Old clothes for your kids to wear – preferably in white or very light colors
- Different colors that dissolve in the water
- Bucket
How To:
In a bucket of water add the color and mix.
- One kid will be the tagger and has to aim the water gun and hit the others while they try to escape. The one who gets hit first with a particular color swaps places with the tagger.
- Throw out the water and mix in a different color with water to fill the gun. Continue in the same way.
5. Spot The Ice Treasure:
Use some creativity to make those ice cubes super fun water game toys.
You Will Need:
- Ice tray
- Very small toys or treasures you can freeze inside the cubes – plastic charms, even small slices of fruit
How To:
- Freeze the objects inside the ice cubes and hand them to your kids.
- Ask them to go outdoors and play around with the ice in their hands until it melts.
- If you there are fruit slices inside the ice cubes, you can ask the kids to lick it to hasten the melting process.
- The kid who reveals his treasure first is the winner. The water activities for children are always fun.
6. Pool Hunt:
Apart from swim lessons in the swimming pool, toss a bunch of ping-pong balls or coins in the water. Kids who know how to swim can jump in and retrieve the coins, whereas kids who need help swimming can retrieve the floating balls.
7. Homemade Water Slide:
Our personal favourite, as it is a classic. To make your homemade water slide in your backyard, here's what you'll need: basic camping tarp, garden hose, and a bottle of shampoo. Now, here's what you'll have to do: spread the tarp over a small slope, hang the garden hose over a clothesline, or something that gives you a good angle from above. Ensure the hose is in place, and drizzle shampoo over the trap to make it slippery and there you have it – a DIY water slide.

8. Ice Pops Treat:
Prepare some fresh juices of all flavors. Make it colorful by including ingredients like raspberry, strawberry, lemon, blueberry, etc. Now freeze these juices individually to make some colorful ice pops. Place the ice pops of different colors in a bowl and give it to your kid and even her friends. Let them together guess what the flavors in each of the ice pops are. Don't forget to make them say the color of each ice pop aloud.
9. Freeze Your Feet:
Make your kid place his feet in a basin. Now empty a tray of ice cubes into the basin. Ask him to pick the ice cubes one by one and put into an empty bucket beside using his feet as fast as possible.
10. Water Balloon Spoons:
Fill up tiny water balloons and place it on spoons. Now play the egg race. First to cross the line with the balloon held intact to the spoon is the winner.This is one of the most fun among the many outdoor water games for kids.

September 2016 Featured Article
Why You Need to Finish That Book
Last month, I showed you why it's so important to finish your first info product.
How it will improve your authority positioning, allow you to help more clients without continually trading your time for money, and create an additional stream of income. Improving your business and your life exponentially.
Well, there's one more project you need to make a high priority if you want to take your ExpertPreneur® business to the next level. A resource that has been the cornerstone of our learning for a long time: A book.
When someone has authored a book, you immediately think, "They must really know what they're talking about…" right? I know I sure do. There is something inherently impressive about it.
And even though we're in an age of digital formatting and self-publishing, where any person who writes something can put it out there, we still treat books with respect. We believe the author is knowledgeable and we will listen to what they have to say.
So, today I'm going to show you why you need to finish your first book, and some strategies to help you through the process.
You'll learn the publishing secrets behind some of the greatest authors' success…
Tips on how to get past those initial roadblocks, and combat the dreaded A.D.D….
And, finally, the simplest way to write your book, even if writing isn't your forte…
Getting Published is Easier Than You Think
Many people shy away from writing a book because they think it's too hard to get published.
After all, traditionally it involves wooing big publishing houses, having to find an agent, and praying you find your way into their "inner circle." And then there is the conundrum of publishers only wanting to publish people who have already been published. Which can mean extreme difficulty getting your first book published.
Well, with the advent of self-publishing and the digital world, this has changed. The power is now back in the hands of authors.
Now, I realize many people look down on self-publishing as an "easy route." A way for people who aren't good writers to release whatever they want and call themselves authors.
However, that's not always the case.
Are you familiar with John Grisham – popular author of many best-selling legal thrillers? How about Irma Rombauer who wrote The Joy of Cooking? Or Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul?
Every single one of those authors got started by self-publishing. They went through countless rejections from publishing companies (Jack Canfield had a whopping 140 rejections!) and decided to take matters into their own hands.
Back in the day, you would have had to print up a bunch of copies and sell them out of your own home, or perhaps an office, or even from the trunk of your car. But now, with ebooks and digital publishing, there's much less up-front cost and hassle to get started.
And you don't have to wait for permission from a big publisher to find your success.
The irony here is that all of these authors sold very well when they self-published. They took the time to market their books and build up a fan base. Then, once established, big publishing houses reached out to them to strike deals. So, you never know what could happen.
But you can only find success as an author if you finish your book in the first place.
Getting Your First Book Done
Do you ever look at an ExpertPreneur's® product page and wonder how they managed to publish so much?
Brian Tracy, Guy Kawasaki, Seth Godin… all of those guys have released countless books. They are so prolific you have to wonder if there's just a huge team of worker bees behind them churning things out.
The truth is, they simply were able to focus their thoughts into a single idea, create a plan, and get the job done. They focused on finishing that one project and got it done.
As I've discussed often in the past, ExpertPreneurs® suffer from having "too many ideas." I'm definitely guilty of this myself. Of course, coming up with big, fresh ideas isn't a problem in and of itself. That's what makes any Entrepreneur so special.
However, with so many thoughts running through your head, it can be hard to stay focused. You may start working on something, then halfway through come up with a completely unrelated idea and shift to that. Then, after starting that, you move onto a new idea.
Ultimately accomplishing nothing.
It can be a curse. So, the first step to getting your book (or anything) finished is creating a plan and sticking to it.
First, you need an idea. What is your area of expertise? Are you a life coach? Relationship coach? Fitness coach? Management consultant? Motivational speaker? Within that field, what unique angle do you bring to the table?
Perhaps you have a special 3-step plan for tackling new relationships that helps people determine whether someone is right for them or not. Whatever it is, pick one topic that you can write enough for a standard-length novel, and start there.
That's another point – a book does not have to be an encyclopedia. You do not have to create 13 volumes. You only have to write about one topic at a standard "novel" length that you are knowledgeable and passionate about.
Once you've come up with a topic, break it down into sections. How will you present your information? Can you break your three steps down even further? Do you have stories to share that provide engaging social proof? Are there exercises your reader can do?
Creating an outline will help you break the large task of writing a book into digestible bits. It'll seem far less daunting than sitting down to write a 200-page document. And, if you find you get stuck on one section, you can just jump to another.
Finally, set aside time each day for writing. It doesn't matter how long. Especially if you are new to writing, it's highly unlikely you will be able to sit down for six hours straight and produce 50 pages of quality work. You aren't used to that, and you'll give up due to frustration and exhaustion.
Thus, you should set reasonable, attainable goals – 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour at a time. Whatever you think you can accomplish each day, and slowly build from there. As you get used to writing, you will be able to work longer and longer without stopping. But it takes time.
Ultimately, writing is a process. But it's a process worth doing. And if you want to learn insider secrets for preparing to write your book, you can tune in to issue #7 of my ExpertPreneur® Magazine. There, Robin Colucci, a publishing coach, will share four vital pre-writing steps to get you started on the right track.
And if you want the full education on book writing and publishing for ExpertPreneurs®, check out her book "How to Write a Book That Sells You." It's fantastic.
What if I Don't Write?
All this time, I've been talking about how important it is to write a book, and why ExpertPreneurs® should have one. And you may be thinking, "Great… what if I'm not a good writer?"
I understand where you are coming from. As I've said in the past, we can't be good at everything, and it's important for you to recognize your strengths and weaknesses early on, so you can focus on what you do best. It's better for your business.
The good news is, you can hire someone else to write a book for you. They're called ghostwriters, and they can be easily found on freelance websites like elance.com or odesk.com.
Again, there's a bit of a stigma with ghostwriting, in that it may feel like "cheating." After all, how can you say a book is yours if you didn't really write it?
Truthfully, ghostwriting, when done correctly, is a collaborative process. So, when I talked about creating a plan for your book and outlining what you think the chapters should be… that is all information you would share with your ghostwriter.
You would chat either over the phone or via email to discuss your expertise and what you are looking for in the book. The ghostwriter then works on it and sends it back to you for proofing after finishing a draft. You can go back and forth on this many times.
Frankly, when you work this way, you can actually come out with a better product than if you worked on it alone. Collaboration is great for inspiration.
Just be sure to be open and honest with your ghostwriter from the start. Negotiate the number of revisions in advance, and if it desperately needs more, be sure to compensate them appropriately. Pay them a fair rate, and don't throw too many curveballs at them.
You never know, it could be the beginning of a fantastic relationship for you. Leading to a library of books for you to sell, full of your ideas, that you didn't have to write by yourself!
Books Will Change Your Business
As clichéd as it might sound, a good book will change your life.
You will be viewed as an authority among your colleagues and clients, you will have a new income stream (remember, you're making money from each book sold!), and you will get more business than ever before.
So, even though it is a daunting task, carve out some time in your schedule to create a book. No matter how you have to do it.
In doing so, you will feel accomplished, and it will elevate your business to the next level.

|[jira] Updated: (DIREVE-52) Create Schema Checking and Presentation IBS
|Wed, 24 Aug 2005 16:58:12 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-52?page=all ] Alex Karasulu updated DIREVE-52: -------------------------------- Fix Version: 0.9.3 Assign To: (was: Alex Karasulu) > Create Schema Checking and Presentation IBS > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: DIREVE-52 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-52 > Project: Directory Server > Type: Task > Components: interceptors > Reporter: Alex Karasulu > Fix For: 0.9.3 > > Ok there is soooo much that can and needs to be done here. However this IBS needs to be taken step by step. First off the initial goal for a base line is to just check attribute value syntax compliance and entry objectClass compliance using what we currently have as the schema subsystem. > Basically we ignore things like subschemaSubentry information which we do not yet have modeled. We do not use the ou=system partion yet because the schema sub subsystem has not matured to that point yet. We can use mock wrappers around the BootstrapRegistries for accessing schema inforamtion right now as if the schema subsystem is fully operational. > However let's talk about what can and will be some day ... > First all the goodies will be there where subschemas will be used to selectively constrain subtrees within the DIT as administrator intend with a high degree of granularity. This all comes out of nice stuff in X.500 which is making its way back into LDAP thanks to that guy Kurt from OpenLDAP. Anyhow we'll have all the usual schema suspects we can use like DitContentRules, NameForms et. cetera. including subtree refinements to really really control schema the way it needs to be controled. > Now we can go further obviously and have talked about how we can do this. First off we want administrative maintenance of schema information within the ou=system area. Using this area we store the core schema objects and their associations in logical schema categories like the nis, java and core schemas et. cetera. We enable the presentation and manipulation of this region by server admins. Also we present this content in the usual manner at cn=schema for example as one fat entry with lots of attributes using the usual syntaxes for the schema types. > An neat thing that can be done is to use a subtree specification to describe the entries to which certain types of schema checks can be applied. This thought came to me when I realized that full blown schema checking is not always needed everywhere in the DIT. In fact at times full blow schema checks will get in the way and slow down the server. If we can find a way to specify controls for schema checking this would be a good place to implement them. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

I have now got the box sets for the New Avengers, Persuaders, Jason King and all three Austin Powers movies. I have the original Avengers series on pre-order.
First episode of the New Avengers gives some interesting scenario ideas. "Eagle's Nest" has Nazis disguised as monks on a remote Scottish island, men armed with fishing rods set to stun or kill (seriously) and a kidnapped Peter Cushing being forced to reanimate a frozen Hitler. Highlight however is Purdie in a leotard!!

Gig Bag Essentials for the Working Guitarist
Broke a string but no string winder? Lost your pick and don't have a spare? Unless you have a guitar tech with you it's worth taking the time to prepare your gig bag so you avoid any mishaps when you are on the road. I have been caught out before – once I forgot my slide and had to use someone's lighter to get through the song (believe me, it didn't sound great!).
So from experience I have made this list of essentials that should live in your guitar case wherever you go!
Spare Amp Valves & Fuses
Check what valves and fuses your amp takes and pack a spare set. Valves can play up or even fail all together so having some spares with you means you can swap out faulty ones and keep your amp running smoothly.
Bridge Pins
If you gig your acoustic guitar a lot then spare bridge pins will certainly help you out. You can easily lose one if you are changing strings mid-gig or even accidentally break one so having spares mean the show can go on!
9v Batteries
These are super useful. If you are using 9v batteries for your pedals or your acoustic guitar then use these rechargeable 9v batteries so you never run out. The best thing is you can have some on charge while you are using the others – plus it saves you £'s on buying hoards of batteries!
Health Kit
Nothing more annoying than a finger nail that catches when you play so pack some nail clippers so you can manicure on the go. Also pack plasters, hand cream, Ibuprofen and a pair of gloves to keep your hands safe from any knocks when carrying gear – especially if it's -5c outside!
Screwdriver Set
A good screwdriver and socket set will help you out when you need to fix a pedal, change a valve on your amp or just tighten up a loose screw. It's an ideal set for keeping in the car or if you want a smaller tool you can get a Multibit Ratchet Screw Driver that can live happily in your guitar case. For your guitar you can also get a Guitar Muiltitool so you can make easy, quick adjustments on the fly.
The Capo
I have used quite a few capos and have found by a long way the Kyser Capo to be one of the best around. It's quick to use, stays in tune well and you can use it for both electric and acoustic guitars – plus it comes in some cool colours too!
Potable Tuner
Having a tuner handy is great especially if you are playing acoustic guitar. The Korg GA-1 is ideal as you can plug in your electric or use the in built mic for tuning your acoustic.
Guitar Care
I always make sure I wipe down my guitar after a gig which keeps the hardware, wood and strings in good shape. You can use some Fast Fret for the strings and a cleaning cloth and cleaner for the guitar.
Spare Strings
The one time you don't have spare strings you will always break one! So I always make sure I have at least 2 sets in the gig bag. I tend to go for the 3 pack Ernie Ball's 9 – 46 for the Telecaster and Elixir's 12 – 53 for the acoustic.
String Winder
There isn't much worse than changing a string without a string winder. It takes ages! So making sure you pack one of these means you can change a string in minutes.
I'm not a fan of having a headstock that has excess strings flapping about, so having a set of cutters handy means you can keep your headstock tidy and also not stab yourself in the eye.
Having a slide in your gig bag arsenal means you won't be borrowing vaguely rounded objects to fumble through Free Bird. Not a bad idea to have a glass, steel and brass slide to give yourself a bit of choice tonally.
Mini Torch
It's no fun scrambling around the back of your amp in the dark to find where your leads plug in. Having a mini torch with you means you can inspect anything with ease and it also comes in handy when loading out gear after dark in the middle of nowhere!
Spare Picks
Probably the most useful spare to have in your gig bag. I keep a selection of picks as spares but my go to ones at the moment are the (purple) Jim Dunlop Tortex Standard 1.14mm picks.

Vintage and Antique Linens by Em's Heart
Antique White Linen Embroidered
Napkins -- Cantu Lace
Item Number N48906
Ok. Say it with me, "Frilly, frilly, FOO FOO beyond belief!"...for the girliest girl among us...
Splendid example of Cantù lace surrounds each antique linen napkin in this fabulous old set. Tightly woven tendrils terminate in characteristic little flower buds. This wonderfully feminine lace has it's origins in Brussels, Belgium and was called "Rosaline lace". The methods and patterns used in these laces reflect earlier 18th century Venetian needle laces and constituted a resurgence in the lace making craft in this area. Cantù lace is highly sought after not only for it's delicate beauty but also for it's rarity. After the occupation of Italy at the start of WWI Cantù lace ceased in it's production and was no longer available to the international market. "The lacemakers of Cantù are the sole depository of the technical secrets for its execution. "**
Hand made lace, cutwork, embroidery and crisp white linen come together in these rare antique linen napkins. Hand needlelace from Cantu is made of linen and perfectly white on these heavy linen napkins of superior quality. A splendid cartouche in one corner of each features a lace inset and a wispy play between embroidered and cutwork details. The best of a style and the finest hand lace make this set an exceptional and collectable set...what better reason is there to throw a party?? Several breaks in the lace, examples shown below, are common to this kind of piece...these are in remarkable condition with one speck and one pinhole, shown below, and have been freshly laundered and pressed. c.1900 22" square including lace

The new monthly issue of Trader Daily is out.
Trader Daily
Of course, the cover has some 35-year old trader posing next to his Rolls Royce. Last month, some guy at the console of his Cigarrette boat.
Their motto is "See It, Make It, Spend It".
The magazine is stuffed with ads for fancy watches, fancy high-end real estate, and super high-end cars.
Ads from dealers such as Manhattan Mercedes, now with a brand new second location at The Hamptons.
Magnus Greaves, the editor, got to test drive a Ferrari F430 at the Monza track.
Only financial speculators get to enjoy this kind of wealth.
One of the featured articles was on this guy named Lewis Borsellino. A picture of an ex-football player. A classic "thick necked" CME pit trader. Full or stories of "intimidation" by this guy on the floor.
Sound familiar??
I haven't finished the magazine yet. But it has the Trader Monthly 100 in it.
The highest earning traders of 2005.
Top PigMen, HedgeFund traders, ranked according to how much of a "vast fortune" was earned last year.
Should be interesting reading for the weekend......
Happy Easter and Passover, everybody.........

Mortgage payments' rise stunning homoaners
Attractive low-cost options lured many into real estate buys that now threaten them with loss of their ream home.
...when a borker told her she could reduce her monthly house payment with a specialty mrotgouge, she signed on without reading the fine print....
...But now the tease is becoming the big squeeze.
Christopher Cagan, director of reamsearch for First American Ream Estate Solutions, estimates that payment shock will result in $110 Billion worth of Foreclosures nationally in the next two years.

Something is happening now. Something new- for the first time since this 3.5 year old sucker rally began, the bond market is imploding. This rally, which has either destroyed or converted almost every bear out there, is about to show its true face. I've been wrong before (who on this site, bear OR ex-bear, hasn't?), but this is a completely new variable. "The consumer" will NOT be able to ride this out, especially coupled with these insane gas prices. Import prices down -0.4% in March. What a joke- and the bond market is (FINALLY!) figuring it out.
R.I.P., bond bubble. R.I.P., real estate bubble. And soon- perhaps VERY soon- R.I.P., stock bubble redux. It was all fun while it lasted.

4:20 pm: The broader market opened with little fanfare and closed in much the same fashion, as investors weighed what should be a reasonably good Q1 reporting season against surging bond yields and rising oil prices, while the Nasdaq extended its year-to-date gain to more than 5.0%. Nevertheless, our market view remains Neutral since it will be difficult for stocks to make much headway given the negative psychological impact of 10-yr note yields above 5.00% for the first time in nearly four years and crude futures approaching $70 per barrel. As an aside, the lack of investor participation, with volumes well below average as traders headed home early for the holiday weekend, also lent little credibility behind the market's performance as more notable economic data and a plethora of influential earnings reports next week will set a more definitive tone for the overall market.
The 10-yr note plunging 14 ticks to yield 5.03% was one of the day's most significant news items but the market shrugged off higher bond yields long enough to maintain modest gains into the close. Treasuries were weak across the yield curve amid ongoing concerns that the Fed may go too far with monetary policy to keep inflation in check. Worries were exacerbated late in the day following hawkish commentary from Fed Governor Donald Kohn. Today's economic data did little to sideline such worries as March retail sales came in as expected but were consistent with current forecasts of 4 1/2% or more Q1 real GDP growth.
Meanwhile, investors were also focused on General Electric (GE 33.79 -0.67), which reported double-digit growth in Q1 earnings and revenue. While GE's solid quarter underscores our Overweight rating on Industrials, management merely reaffirming their FY06

Texas-Mississippi State Quotes
March 21, 2009
COACH SHARON FANNING: I was very pleased with our focus and intensity and
our team effort. We said at the beginning of the game we wanted to try to
keep it just as simple as possible and our game is sort of like we said in
the press conference really yesterday, you have to defend, you have to
contest shots, and I was going to be upset if they got layups, so I was
upset several times. But for the most part we tried to contest, and I
thought the rebound effort was significant. We held them under 30% in the
first half. The goal defensively is to hold a team under 40% and I think
that that's huge.
Offensively we want to try to get about 45%, we didn't quite get
there, but I was pleased with shot selection. That was another simple
thing that we said is together, collectively, how are we going to be
patient and take great shots. Down the stretch, I think the best shot we
can take is a free throw and you can definitely see the percentage there
and know how important that is to us, but you had to be in a position to
put yourself there from a defensive standpoint, a rebounding standpoint,
where they had to foul and I was very pleased with our team that they
maintained composure.
You know, we did get in some foul trouble. We were rotating four
people at the perimeter, five people at the perimeter really and three in
the post. Our two guards with the most experience out there ended up with
four fouls pretty early. I thought Diamber Johnson came in, she's done
this all year as a freshman at that point position. M-Kat and Ty, I
thought they really stepped up and then the players that came in, they were
composed and they played with fouls and that's what great players have to
do. They have to take the positions that are there and they have to
But it was a total team. On this basketball team, if and when
we're successful, which we have been this season, it's going to -- it takes
every single one of them, it takes the bench, it takes all that enthusiasm,
the stats, the rebounding column, the free-throws, the percentage, I
thought we took better care of the basketball in the second half and made
better decisions as a team, but for us, this is a big team win and
hopefully we can continue to get better as a basketball team and execute
better the next game we play.
REPORTER: I'll ask both of you, but I'll start with Alexis, about
the period when both guards were out with foul trouble, you guys were in
and out with foul trouble and yet Texas made a run, and you guys answered.
You kind of held on there during that period. Can you just talk about that
ALEXIS RACK: Talk about what, how it felt to be out of the game?
REPORTER: I guess just how important it was that the lead was
maintained or even expanded while you guys were in foul trouble.
ALEXIS RACK: It was very important. Like Coach was saying, our
defense played a very important part of us winning this game, period, and
during that time, I think when they made their run, all we needed was that
one stop and then when we got it, it was all right.
MARY KATHRYN GOVERO: I'll just echo what she said. We emphasized
the whole season and in this game the importance of defense and the importance of team defense and when you have a key leader like Alexis off
the floor, just the fact that people were able to come in off the bench and
provide that spark, just to help us maintain our focus and to keep that
lead was very important.
REPORTER: Alexis, the Texas head coach, Gail Goestenkors, she
compared you to Andrea Riley from Oklahoma State, have you seen her play
ALEXIS RACK: I saw her play last year.
REPORTER: Coach was making the comparison because you're both
smaller but very speedy, would you agree with that comparison and if not,
how would you define the game?
ALEXIS RACK: I can't hear you.
REPORTER: Sorry. Would you agree with the comparison to Andrea
Riley about being a smaller guard who shoots well and if you don't agree,
how would you define your game differently?
ALEXIS RACK: I really haven't seen her play this year, but last
year I thought she was a pretty good shooter. She was real quick. So I
guess I see myself as a good shooter also. I can get to the goals. I
think that's a good comparison.
REPORTER: Alexis, you were on the free throw line there on the
end, you all hit 13 in a row, how do you keep your wits about you when you
know it's an NCAA playoff game and you've got to protect your lead? What's
going through your mind at that point?
ALEXIS RACK: We've been doing this all year. We shoot about 100
free throws in practice. I felt like I was in practice. I felt real
comfortable and just focused.
REPORTER: Did you feel like you were the more aggressive team? It
seemed like early on you really kind of set a tone.
MARY KATHRYN GOVERO: Well, we knew how important it was to come
out from the tip. We've had games where we've struggled in the first half
we've come out with that energy and being the aggressor and we knew how
important it was to come out from the tip and be the aggressor in this
game. The coaches told us in the scouting report and everything that they
were a second-half team, we knew they were going to make a run, but we had
to continue to get our stops and to keep attacking them and not back down
from that, so it was very important for us to be the aggressor in this
REPORTER: Coach, it's out of your control, UT has come up, they've
made the score and making a game of it, you've got Alexis on the free throw
line, was that money in the bank for you guys?
COACH FANNING: It was today. Obviously getting the ball in her
hands is very important and I think you have players, certain roles on the
team and that's one that Alexis has, but we have confidence in all our
players, like she said, you practice that, you drill it. Everybody has to
be in a position in these ball games where anybody can make them, everybody
can play defense, everybody can rebound, everybody can take good shots,
goes back to what I said yesterday, keep it simple, everybody has to dow
their part, she did her part today.
REPORTER: I guess, Coach, I'll ask you the same thing I asked them
about how you felt with the guards in foul trouble. Is it nerve-wracking?
Were you trying to buy a few minutes with them on the bench? What was your
thought process there?
COACH FANNING: Somebody had to step up. Usually if somebody gets
a fourth foul you wait until the four- or five-minute mark, maybe, six or
seven, depends on what the score is. We actually did expand the lead I
think a couple points here and there and we knew that we'd have to give the
other kids a rest and I think, I don't know if it's seven or eight or nine,
I put Alexis back in, we tried to alternate them there. We ended up --
Texas, they usually press and we knew that they're very quick, but we had
the whole team step up. Donnisha Tate, for example, she missed a couple of
buckets in the first half and if a player doesn't have confidence and
they're not ready to take the next shot then the next plays don't happen.
I thought she had a couple key buckets down the stretch that you had to
have when it was on the line. I think that's basically what they did.
They pulled together. They're not, what you say, the stars, but each and
every player stepped up. There haven't been a lot of games where Diamber
and M-Kat and Ty are the three-perimeter players together a lot, usually
Alexis or Armelie's on the floor to compliment just because of experience,
but those other guys had to step up and as we've practiced at home, they've
been playing against them all year and I thought they showed composure. I
thought M-Kat came up with a couple key buckets and found some holes.
She's a good jump shooter and was able to find some shots. They changed up
defenses a little bit and basically we handled the pressure, tried to take
good shots where we had them and just be patient for the most part and was
able to keep a lead and of course get to the free throw line down the
stretch when they had a foul.
Texas Postgame Quotes:
COACH GAIL GOESTENKORS: Well, just congratulations to Mississippi
State, I thought they just did a great job. They did what was necessary.
They rebounded the basketball, rebounded the heck out of the basketball
and, you know, they hit their free throws. And in a tight game, those are
the two factors. And they defended us. I thought they defended us very
well. We missed some shots. Didn't rebound the ball as well as we needed
to and obviously didn't take care of the ball as well as we needed to, but
credit goes to Mississippi State and we'll just be back next year.
REPORTER: Brittainey, you hadn't started since before the Big 12
tournament, you came in and close to the end when you guys made it
competitive, you hit those two big threes. What was going through your
head when you closed it to a 2-point game?
BRITTAINEY RAVEN: I knew that we needed to get something going and
I thought Ashley did a good job of penetrating up and finding the man and
she was finding me in the open spot, and when I got the first one, I felt
good. When I got the second one, we continued to push on, but towards the
end we continued to have several mistakes and turnovers and it cost us the
REPORTER: Do you think if you and Erika had hit your stride
earlier it might have been a different outcome in this game?
BRITTAINEY RAVEN: Yeah, it could have. They were up the majority,
most of the time in the game, so maybe if we would have hit a three or got
some stops or got some rebounds, it would have changed the ending of the
REPORTER: How difficult was it your starting point guard missed
her first start since January of '08? Because you hit shot 22% in the
first half, did that contribute to it or were you all just ice-cold for
just --
SPEAKER1: I think a little bit. I think through this whole year
we've come to depend on Carla to keep us calm and she has so much composure
on the court, so I do think we missed her for that, but I don't know if
that necessarily had to do with us missing our shots. We just weren't
REPORTER: What was it you guys felt you didn't do today that you
normally do? Was there one thing? You talked about rebounding, was it as
simple as that or was it something they took you out of that you like to
do? What was the key factor, do you feel?
EARNESIA WILLIAMS: Well, I don't think they took us out of
anything we like to do offensively. It was just, it came down to -- at the
beginning of the game it comes down to taking care of the ball and
rebounding. We didn't do it in the first half. We didn't rebound in the
first half very well, picked it up a little bit in the second half, but
it's too late when they have 27 rebounds in the first half.
REPORTER: Can you talk about playing your last game and whether
this was representative of what you've meant to the program?
EARNESIA WILLIAMS: I just -- I didn't worry about it as being my
last game. It could be my last game. Like any other game, I just come out
and play hard like just how I play. I play for my teammates and I play for
my staff and my school, so I just come out and play.
REPORTER: And Brittainey, can you talk about what it's like to not
have Earnie next year?
BRITTAINEY RAVEN: When we need something in the game, she does it,
whether it's an offensive rebound or a steal or a tip or just really good
defense. And not having her next year, we're going to have to have
somebody step up and do the things that Earnie did. Obviously we needed
more than one Earnie this year, so next year we're going to have to have
everybody play as hard as Earnie did and want it and be as passionate as
Earnie was this year.
REPORTER: Coach, when their guards got into foul trouble,
obviously at one point both of them out of the game, you guys make a run,
but they answered. Did you feel that was a key time there where you
weren't necessarily able to make more strides with their guards out?
COACH GOESTENKORS: We did. We made a run and they came back and
actually extended the lead. At that point I was a little concerned because
we weren't able really to tie the game or push ahead with their best guards
REPORTER: I wanted to ask you about MSU's faster style of game
play, their up-tempo movement, a lot of their traps and presses, but I was
looking at the first half and you guys actually kept up with them for a lot
of it on fast breaks and drives. Do you think as the game went on, it
started to wear on you, all the up-tempo playing or was it just -- I mean,
was it a factor?
COACH GOESTENKORS: Not at all, we're an up-tempo team as well, we
press and trap, we did more tonight actually than they did. We play the
same style, so that really wasn't a factor for us. A couple of times, they
got two transition lay-ups in the first half and that was when Carla was in
and Carla, I think, was so worried about her hand she wasn't getting back
on defense, so other than that, we did a pretty good job. I think they got
a couple transition buckets on us, we got a few on them, so that really
wasn't a factor for us.
REPORTER: Once you do tie it up, what did you feel didn't happen
on those next few possessions that you needed to have happen or what did
Mississippi State do to kind of end -- I mean, besides the free throws
COACH GOESTENKORS: Right. When we tied it up, the next possession
they had they got an offensive rebound putback, so it was the same story
that we'd seen all game. They really killed us with the -- we got some
offensive rebounds, they tended to score on their offensive rebounds, so it
was a putback. We came down and then we turned the ball over, so we turned
the ball over the next two possessions, so it was a little difficult for
us, and then once you get down four -- we started fouling, unfortunately
fouling Rack, which was not what we wanted to do, but that's the way it
ended up.
REPORTER: Gail, there at the end, you seemed to be going more with
your youth than you did with your seniors. Can you talk about why you
decided to do that? I think you put Ashley in with what, the next minute?
COACH GOESTENKORS: Ashley Gayle was a greater defensive presence
than Ashley Lindsey was, and I felt like she was rebounding the ball
better. I thought it was coming down to rebounding and defensive presence I felt like she was a greater presence for us on the defensive end than on
the boards.
REPORTER: You all put together three of your less than spectacular
offensive games the last three games, could you see it in practice or is
this sort of a surprise?
COACH GOESTENKORS: We've been having good practices. I think our
last two games in particular, Carla hasn't been in the game much. She
played four minutes today, she only could play 16 against Iowa State and
she broke the finger in the game before that. She makes us go and she's
played the majority of the minutes at the point. It made a difference.
You're just not as comfortable when you're used to getting the ball in
certain situations. And it was in Ashleigh Fontenette's hands and that's a
lot of pressure for a freshman especially against the great defense of
Mississippi State.

Professor Amitabh Narain received $297,288 from the National Science Foundation, Advanced Power Systems Research Center, for a three-year project, "Flow Prediction and Fluctuation-sensitivity Investigations for Quasi-steady Shear Driven Condensing Flows in Milli-meter to Micro-meter Scale Two-Phase Systems."
Reliable designs of modern micro-scale-phase-change thermal systems require effective integration of condensers. For that, system designs need to overcome difficulties in attaining and maintaining shear driven quasi-steady condensing flows with repeatable performance. Besides assurance of repeatable performance of the condenser, good and reliable flow prediction capabilities should be made available for micro-scale or shear driven condensers. Such reliable estimates are needed for sizing and matching the condenser into any system of choice. Development of the proposed research takes the current research forward towards addressing these two issues of repeatability and flow predictability for shear driven and/or micro-scale condensing flows. The research on condensing flows will also be helpful in addressing analogous issues for annular flow regimes in micro-scale flow boilers.

Well, our Kitties had to move indoors too when later in the afternoon we got some much needed heavy rain.

Oh my darling! I am days and days too late for Sunday's cuddlepile! And you look so very adorably fetching, too. And cuddly and cozy. I suppose some *other* kitty came to cuddle. Well, who could blame you when I have been such a bad bad Mancat. I don't know *what* the Human has been thinking lately, but obviously not of me and my needs. We need to have cuddles though, very soon, and weep a little together over our Darling Nellie-Bellie, whom we miss so terribly. I like to think of her having Diva Time with the Admiral and Ms. Stella and The Baby. Mr. Teeth is probably watching from a respectful distance, too. Love you XOXOXOXOXOReplyDelete
Ohhhh DARN! WE missed a cuddle party with you??? We are soooo sad :( Hope you were warm and well loved dearest!ReplyDelete

Latest Technology
Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays are quickly becoming adopted by a large percentage of the dental industry. A digital x-ray allows the dentist to take an image of the tooth or teeth and put it into an imaging program. Within this imaging program, there are a number of tools that will allow the dentist to take a very close look at the teeth and surrounding structures with amazing accuracy. As a benefit to the patient, the digital x-ray also provides nearly 90% less radiation than a standard x-ray. This is due to the fact that the digital version of the x-ray is much more sensitive to this radiation and has been specifically designed with the patient in mind.
Intra Oral Camera
You can see what we see!
The intraoral camera allows you to have an active part in your dental treatment by letting you see inside your mouth. With a clear understanding of your dental conditions, you will be able to make treatment decisions with confidence. The intraoral camera allows us to see problems such as worn or broken fillings, cracked teeth, plaque deposits, and excessive wear.
Biolase Laser
Laser Dentistry is an amazingly effective alternative to the dental drill. Our laser is capable of working on both hard and soft tissues (teeth, gums and other soft tissue) for dental restoration. For most procedures there is no need for needles and shots. Please know that large areas of decay cannot be comfortably removed without doing some numbing. The Biolase laser can significantly increase your comfort in the dental chair. Please know that the Biolase laser is not used to remove old silver mercury amalgam fillings or old crowns.

Ever wondered what to do with all that green leafy stuff on top of your beets? Whatever you do, don't throw it away!

I live in a sriracha-loving household, so today's sauteed Sriracha beet greens with mini peppers is sure to be an easy peasy way to cook your lovely beet greens in less than 10 minutes, making a perfect pairing with quinoa, lentils, rice or potatoes.
- Beet greens
- 4-5 mini peppers

- Sriracha
- Salt and pepper
- Sliced almonds
- Sesame seeds
Rinse beet greens and peppers well.
Heat olive oil on medium heat and add garlic.
Add chopped mini peppers and sautée for 2-3 minutes.
Place beet greens and cook until the leaves are wilted down.

I feel SO fortunate and grateful that my husband and I reached the 28 weeks mark this past Sunday. I'm telling y'all, counting in two week increments makes me feel like I'm in a time machine, just zooming forward!
It feels like so much happens in a two week time span but at the same time, looking forward to the finish line (January 5th) seems like such a journey! I guess that comes with the anxiousness for our little girl to just be here. I try not to say that too often, though. We want her to stay in just as long as she needs to!
This two weeks Avalynn has reached the size of an eggplant. My husband swears that these sizing charts are off. He thinks an eggplant is small but I, oh so lovingly, remind him often that I still have three more months to go. And, that eggplant is going to double or triple in size. Rushing things I tell ya!
It's amazing how much your belly changes throughout pregnancy. Or, at least mine has. I've carried low throughout the entire pregnancy but just recently, I've started "tightening up" in my upper belly and I feel like it's raising! Weird?
We're officially in the third trimester which excites me beyond words! We're so close I can taste it! We learned that this two weeks our little girl is chunkin' up! Ooh, I hope she has roll-y poll-y thighs and puffy cheeks! I heart baby fat. We also learned that she is fully capable of living outside the womb now, since her lungs are fully developed, but we want her to stay and grow as long as possible, of course. One of the neatest things about this two weeks was learning that she can actually taste and react to foods that I eat now. She really reacts to chocolate (just like her mama!) and spicy foods.
While lying in bed the other evening, Avalynn was moving in a way that she hadn't up until now. Dragging limbs across my belly to the point that I could see them poking up and out. I was thrilled when I placed the hubby's hand on my stomach and he experienced that, as well. Seeing his face light up just warms me. It's the little things.
We've scheduled our next 4D ultrasound for November so that we can see her little face one more time before she makes her grand appearance and we're anxiously waiting for that appointment!
I've gotten to the point in this pregnancy where I've allowed my mind to start wandering. Not in the negative, "What if this or that happens?" way but more in the dream-y way. Until this point, I haven't allowed myself to visualize "birth day" because I didn't want expectations. And, to be honest, even though I'd been told time and time again that this pregnancy was very healthy and baby girl was growing right on schedule; I still harbored fear from the little one that we lost before sweet Avalynn came along.
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and I figured I'd bring my awareness to it, as well. You'd be so surprised by how many precious women that you pass daily who have lost a child through miscarriage, still birth and infant loss. Through heartache, I felt banded to these women and, although mine and my husband's journey was kept very private, I felt connected through the stories I'd read on the internet or the testimonials I'd heard of those closest to me. And, while it is broad spread and a common heartache, it doesn't make it any easier for those experiencing it. The loss of that child, no matter the time frame or circumstance, never truly leaves the minds of those who experienced that love... and loss.
I don't write this as a pity post. I am blessed beyond measure. I am expecting my baby girl after time and heartache and for that, I am thankful. But there are those who are not so fortunate. There are those who are still waiting. Those who are still coping. Those who still yearn for understanding.
So, this month, when you notice that lady who has "been married for ten years and STILL hasn't had a child?!" or you become annoyed with the "strange" woman in line at the grocery store who smiles and coos at your little one, take a moment to consider their life, their trials. They could be experiencing that longing or coping with a terrible letdown.
January 22nd, 2013. <3

By Ann Hornaday
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 28, 2004; Page C05
Yann Samuell makes his feature directing debut with "Love Me if You Dare," and a nasty one it is. In this toxic tale of young psychopaths in love, the stylish, often stunning visuals are ultimately outmatched by the repellent protagonists at the story's center.
"Love Me if You Dare" opens when those characters, Julien and Sophie, are grade-school students in France, each coping with a private crisis. Julien's indulgent mother is dying of cancer; Sophie, the child of Polish immigrants, must suffer the ethnic taunts of her fellow schoolchildren. They befriend each other on the street one day after Julien saves Sophie from a particularly cruel episode of teasing; they soon discover a mutual fascination with taking risks. An ongoing game of tit-for-tat ensues and soon escalates, until they wind up before the school principal, upon which Julien proudly relieves himself on the office floor.
If you think this is cute, "Love Me if You Dare" is just your cup of arsenic. As Julien and Sophie grow into (nominal) adulthood, their taste for infantile behavior deepens unabated. Played as grown-ups by Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard, the friends are now engaging in increasingly vertiginous emotional mind games, as they taunt and tease each other in and out of a possible romance. Samuell, who infuses his movie with a bold sense of color and composition, admittedly knows how to ratchet up the tension: In the film's most effective scene, Julien takes Sophie out to dinner to discuss a marriage proposal, with truly shocking results.
The scene would be an emotional knockout, too, if the audience cared at all about the characters. Instead, these two arrested adolescents -- and the filmmaker himself -- seem too wrapped up in their own operatic sense of importance and self-regard to realize that narcissism is usually compelling only to the narcissist in question. What's more, Samuell trots out the trendy and tiresome conceit of giving his movie two conclusions, one tragic, one not. What he hasn't counted on is that, considering such morally repugnant protagonists, the audience may not strictly agree with his notion of a happy ending.
Love Me if You Dare (94 minutes, in French with subtitles, at Landmark Bethesda Row and E Street and Cineplex Odeon Shirlington) is rated R for language and some sexuality.
