Through the millennia the philosopher teachers have been telling us to "seek truth," "grown in wisdom" or "find the way." Our purpose is to find our way to peace and harmony. We were shown the way through statements like the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule comes in two parts; love self and neighbor. Each individual must take responsibility for their own actions, first. Once we have taken responsibility for our own lives then we should expect our neighbors to do the same. That is Golden Rule. We cannot love our neighbor until we have loved self! Everyone of us is supposed to go through this exercise. I am suggesting that with the simple little rule we can all enter the game of life as individuals and succeed. At that point it isn't a "zero sum" game!
But what if someone defects—ok, so what—we forgive them and move on. However, what if they have come to believe that lifestyle is more beneficial to their perceived goals and decide to steal or lie all the time. Normally their friends and associates pull away because they do not wish to descend into the same obsessive pit. When their friends begin to pull away these individuals will either correct their attitude and behavior or become even more desperate, acting out more frequently and becoming more isolated. They have broken the two part standard, self has won out and there is no balance.
If this happens on a large scale and is not corrected, it leads eventually to the collapse of the social system and chaos ensues. Until the individuals find the simple set of rules again, and return to proper behavior disharmony reigns. We see eras of this darkness throughout history. The problem is we let ourselves get in the way. Our egos convince us that we can do it better than the simple set of rules. Life doesn't have to be this way! We are smart enough to prevent this from happening. But only if we are smart enough to see what is happening.
There is plenty of evidence to prove that we are capable of achieving peace and harmony in large societies. However it requires the correct mental attitude about that existence at an individual level. This mental attitude is derived through our collective education, including parents, schools, church and work or play. You may see harmony and cooperation as your highest goal. Or, you may have learned that your selfish gain at any cost is the way to go. The first brings harmony to self and close associates. The second reality causes disharmony and division for everyone. Conforming to certain harmonizing standards creates great cohesion which leads to prosperity for the group as a whole.
In a quote from The Origins of Virtue, the author Matt Ridley states.
"The cohesiveness of groups that conformity achieves is a valuable weapon in a world where groups must act together to compete with other groups."***
Everyone accepts a standard of some sort. The standard that I've accepted is the Golden Rule. It is the overriding rule that I live by. That means that I live my life to the highest possible level of achievement without harming others. My first step. And then, I wish the same access to achievement for my neighbors. My second step.
The Law of Reciprocity says they in turn should strive for their highest achievement and wish the same for me. Every time another person joins into this Golden Rule universe it increases the harmony emanating from each of them. With my acceptance to the Golden Rule principle I look for simple, neutral and universal rules to be governed by. The rights to life, liberty and property. Equal rights under the law and equal opportunities to pursue my personal happiness. And if that is good for me, that is good for you as well.
As part of the five supporting principles Wisdom plays an important role in this discussion. Part of the principle of Wisdom provides that we follow societal rules after careful consideration and understanding. Wisdom supports the concept that there should be fewer laws that remain consistent over long periods to consider and adapt. The more laws we attempt to create the more difficult it is to understand them. They drive us away from individual growth and responsibility. Which, obviously leads to less liberty that one has over their free will. With a little research we will find the problem with underdeveloped countries frequently boils down to corrupt bureaucratic social systems. Everyone cheating and stealing their way through the daily power struggle with little societal integrity. They have lost the touch with the two-part strategy self and neighbor.
Some expect government to provide the perfect solution to life's various issues. But the government is a collective of imperfect humans. The larger the government (collection of imperfect humans) grows the worse the bureaucracy becomes. Once we have lost the personal incentive to protect rights of others there becomes great corruption for all. We lose that individual transaction attitude (self and neighbor). The government should have few and clear objectives such as the limited powers enumerated in our constitution. Therefore, we should not be looking to a political elite to be ruling over us. At some point we will become slaves of the state. "Social contracts between equals, generalized reciprocity between individuals and between groups—these are at the heart of most vital of all human achievements: the creation of society."***
I have come to understand that it is this dual objective (self and neighbor) that fires harmony at all levels. We have evolved mentally beyond having to survive within the heard to protect ourselves. We could use our intelligence to adopt social conditions that allow our individual passions to rise to the top and produce highly productive, successful, harmonious organizations on global scale.
Our choice…

Notwithstanding our collective cultural obsession with all things bacon, you might be surprised to learn that American and European meat consumption has actually been declining, per capita, over the last decade. That's a good thing for both our health and the planet's, but these positive trends are canceled out by Asian and African nations that are adopting more American-style diets. In China, meat consumption has quadrupled since the 1970s.
So it's important news that the Chinese government has adopted new dietary guidelines that encourage its 1.3 billion citizens to eat less meat. Citing health concerns, it has suggested a person should eat a daily value of 40 grams of meat and poultry a day, down from 50 grams in its previous guidelines. In total, the government suggests meat, fish, and dairy consumption should be limited to 200 grams daily. If followed, according to Climate Progress, this would decrease global greenhouse gas emissions by 1.5%.
The key phrase is, of course, "if followed." The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says China's per capita meat and dairy consumption is currently 300 grams daily, so the new value would require people scale back by 33%. That's unlikely to happen entirely, but at minimum the guidelines could slow the growth of China's animal cravings.
Animal agriculture has a major cost to the planet, responsible for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. A recent Oxford University study suggested that if people ate their recommended doses of fruits and vegetables, by 2050, premature deaths would drop by 6% to 10%, greenhouse gas emissions would slow by anywhere from 30% to 70%, and trillions of dollars would be saved.
Though these are probably pie-in-the-sky numbers, China should be given credit for taking action, which is more than the United States has been able to do. A committee of scientists and health experts recently recommended to the U.S. government that American dietary guidelines should urge reduced red and processed meat consumption. But that suggestion was nixed in the USDA final dietary guideline decision, after a lobbying frenzy by the meat industries. The government can take away America's hot dogs out of its cold, dead-from-heart-disease hands.

So here is my completely unprofessional, strictly observational advice for making it past March:
- Show up for your first few classes early. Give it ten minutes. Figure out the layout of the class. Get settled. Chat with someone who appears to know what they're doing.
- Talk to the instructor. Please! In those ten minutes before class, tell her/him that you've never done this before, or that you did six times at a different gym three years ago. This gives the instructor an opportunity to help you more, whether it be with form, equipment or motivation.
- Take a friend or make a friend. There have been many days that the 4:56 a.m. alarm might have been ignored, were it not for knowing that Spinning Marcy and Ellen would wonder why I wasn't there. These are friendships that developed over long months of casual chit chat at the gym and I now value greatly. We support each other, not only in our fitness endeavor but in life. Talk about exercise being good for the heart...
- Fitness classes are for fit people. Don't let that scare you away, but understand that you need to let someone help you get through those first few months of adjustment. Take breaks if you need to take breaks. Ease back until your body can keep up with your desires.
- No one is looking at you. When I began hitting the group exercise class scene, I was off in the corner, didn't know what I was doing, not in the clicque. Luckily (?), I was coping with the death of a marriage and needed the endorphins enough to ignore the perceived ridicule by the regulars. Those of us who have been going to the same class for six months, two years or even a decade are looking to the mirror at ourselves, not you. We are checking our form. We are looking at our thighs. We are hoping we don't fart [loudly].
- It's okay to be a newbie. If you've never taken yoga before, for Pete's sake, take a beginner's class. Yoga is so much more than stretching and breathing (yet, it's nothing more than stretching and breathing). I've practiced yoga (on and off) for twelve years and my down-dog still needs adjustment now and then. Take the time to learn the form so that you can experience the euphoria that results from a good class (at least 10% of my drives home from yoga include a missed turn).
So if you're playing it safe on the machines at the gym, or even walking around your neighborhood, find some music and find your groove. Don't push yourself to exhaustion these first few weeks. Give those hormones a chance to organize their plan of action so that they can sneak up on you and take over your life.
Admittedly, being addicted to exercise has its drawbacks, like when I almost skipped heart surgery because I didn't want to put marathon training on hold, but it's advantages far outweigh its drawbacks. And I'm not skinny. I don't look like a gym rat. I wish I'd put down the Nutella and drop fifteen pounds. But my resting heart rate tickles my cardiologist (soooo sad that I have a cardiologist),I can keep up with my kids and their classmates at recess, and my biceps, well, they're awesome.
I would be thrilled if every one of the Class of 2011 Resolutionaries became gym rats, regulars, addicts and fit folk. Keep filling those classes -- the powers that be will add more. Hop on the treadmill until you're so bored that you have to join me on the Brookside Trails this spring. Make a date with a friend to run a 5K...then a 10...then a.... Even if your weight doesn't budge, your innards will appreciate your efforts.
So go get 'em, Tiger! Before you know it, you'll be one of the 2,000 people who pass me while running Hospital Hill.

ITV 09.15 - 09.30am
TV-am was unique among ITV companies because the breakfast time franchise entitled it to broadcast to the whole of the UK, rather than a specific region. As David Frost said on the very first edition of Good Morning Britain, TV-am was a new national network.
But in its first few months TV-am would closedown at 9.15am meaning there was a gap in programmes before the local ITV station would come on air, usually at 9.25.
A year before TV-am launched there was much correspondence about the gap between company chairman Peter Jay and the Independent Broadcasting Authority.
Although it seemed odd that ITV should, as late as 1983, effectively close down during daylight hours, there was a good reason why the "glorious network" (as Mr Frost would often describe it) needed this short breathing space.
Until the process was automated, engineers would have to manually connect ITV transmitters to the TV-am studios at around 5.45 each morning, and then switch them back to the local ITV company during the break at 9.15. An on-screen IBA caption would tell viewers to consult their copy of the TVTimes for more information while all this was happening. You can see this here, courtesy of Transdiffusion:
In May 1983 the gap was closed. TV-am could now stay on air until exactly 9.25, at which point viewers at home would often notice the picture 'roll' as their ITV transmitter was instantly reconnected to their local ITV station.
When ITV began to broadcast around the clock, transmitters were handed back to TV-am at exactly 6am again with a roll in the picture.
Until this day ITV's breakfast service runs between 6 and 9.25am, a throwback to TV-am's eventual broadcasting hours, and the way its programmes were beamed around the UK.
Below, a TV-am start up routine from later in 1983:

I Sense A Disturbance… September 25, 2006Posted by RoyberTITo in Uncategorized.
add a comment
I haven't been posting, have I? I haven't done much with this old place. Broken promises. I got the Mac, and didn't spiff the place up like I promised.
Should I even keep going anymore? Nobody reads my stuff. This place is great, sure, and I love writing on it… but I've become totally disenchanted with it.
As sad as I am to say it…. I'm putting this ol' thing to side. It's time for me to move on from this place…
However… that doesn't mean I'll stop writing about gaming… or anything else. No more broken promises, no more unread write-ups: I'm starting anew. A new blog. With a new focus.
Mactendo. Apple and Nintendo are always seen as blood brothers. Thus, I will make a blog. I only write about Nintendo really, and on Mactendo, I can still persue my ramblings while at the same time having some sort of focus rather than trying to be everything at once.
I'm setting up the blog now. I'll post a link later.
The few of you that have been reading…. thanks. If anyone that reads this has been reading since the beginning, last June: thank you. I'm sorry. I've neglected you. Mactendo will be different. I'll post as much as I can. But I can no longer continue to drive this beast.
I'm going to start Mactendo, and I'm going to write it as a blog, not a website. That was the mistake I made here.

REVIEW DOUBLE HEADER: QWERTY PICKS UP ITS STRIDE! July 29, 2006Posted by RoyberTITo in Gaming, Reviews, Summer of QWERTY.
add a comment
Today we have two reviews for you. They'll be up later, and they're the first in a series which I call "PREPARING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION."
Basically, I'm playing sort-of old, current-gen games so I can catch up on the canon for the new ones coming out this year. The series starts with reviews of the two most recent Sonic games, Sonic Rush and Shadow the Hedgehog. I've already played a bit of Shadow on the GameCube, and I've been impressed up to the level "Iron Jungle." The game's good, better than Sonic Adventure 2, at least (and according to Sonic Team, Shadow is technically Sonic Adventure 3, where as Sonic Heroes… was Sonic Heroes…. which is better than Shadow, really… just read the review), until it starts relying on the gunplay. You'll read the review. That one I rented. Glad I rented it.
However, I've decided I should spend some of my hard earned cash from work on a new game for my collection… it hasn't been increased for a while, anyway. I thought what to get and, obviously, I'm getting the DS game, Sonic Rush. That thing is like a third hand I use it so much. I would rent, but I don't have GameFly, plus, if it's as good as I hear, then I want it in my collection.
The Next Gen Prep series, by the way, is an official part of QWERTY, and will feature reviews of such classics as Mario Sunshine and such crap as… well… possibly… Shadow the Hedgehog.

For My Friends' wedding My Wife and I made some carnival games;
Fauxto Wall: Plywood on 2×3 frame. We built a wall and used 3 frames around holes cut through the plywood for posing. The piece de résistance was the addition of family photographs from the bride and groom.
Hat Toss: Plywood on 2×3 frame. A deer, a Jackalope and a hat stand made for a fun hat toss game.
Ring Toss: MDF, coca cola bottles. Beautiful painting made this piece really pop.
Bean Bag Toss: We had the Bride and Groom visit the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and have some caricatures drawn. My wife copied the caricatures onto a white painted backdrop and finished the piece with some excellent framing scrollwork.

To-Do 2016!
One of the first things I did in the new year was tear apart my bedroom. I was feeling unproductive being sick and stuck at home and for not making any official resolutions. I thought that it would be good to try and get rid of one item I no longer needed or wanted per day to help clear up clutter. Then I ended up with an entire trash bag full. Oops. That's the pile that started it all...
While I'll still try to get rid of unwanted clutter throughout the year, I want to focus on making new resolutions as they come along. New habits don't always have to start and end with the new year, so I devised a new way to help me keep track of my life.
It began with an attractive looking binder from Walmart.
I bought one that felt extremely sturdy, so hopefully it will last all year!
I would like to give special thanks to my new bath mat for providing a lovely backdrop.
Then I grabbed my favorite markers and color-coated all the categories I'll need for the year.
While writing I forgot how to spell color...
Then I printed monthly planning sheets from Word and created my own weekly planning sheets and started writing all my stuff down. I printed off enough to last the entire semester.
On my weekly planner I included daily slots to write down assignments and meetings,
A spot for specific goals, such as work on a long-term assignment, birthday recognition, and contact with family and friends,
A spot for 10 daily or multi-weekly goals,
And a spot of miscellaneous things about the week such as thoughts, quotes, or Netflix reports.
The entire blank page.
Putting my goals and daily reminders in the same place as my assignments will remind me every time I look at my planner that I need to do them. If they don't keep appearing I'll just forget about them!
Things I hope to work on this year are: good GPA, drinking enough water, able to run a 10k (by September), practice yoga, and not weigh myself. I'm going to focus on feeling good!
Happy planning!

|dress: monsoon
|cardigan: matalan
|necklace, tights : primark
I'd picked up this cardigan a little while ago in Matalan thinking I couldn't go wrong with a basic block colour. But each time I've worn it, I feel as though it makes me look like a frump. On this occasion it may not have helped that I wore it over a dress which is several sizes too big for me.
But this blog wouldn't be much of a true representation of what I wear if I didn't post the misses now and again, would it?

Dewey Cox: Sex, Drugs, and Members Only Jackets
Hey, bay-buh! There's a whole lot of funny goin' on in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. It's got sex and drugs and Elvis and giraffes and Members Only jackets.
Jake Kasdan directs an outrageously funny sketch-comedy collection of music-movie parodies he co-wrote with Judd Knocked Up Apatow. Walk Hard begins down in Springberry, Alabama in 1946, where young Dewey's supremely gifted, much-loved prodigy of a brother begins a picture-perfect day by saying nothing horrible could possibly happen to him. A hugely funny scene is coming that sets the tone for a brilliant first half.
John C. Reilly starts playing Dewey as a 14-year-old at a talent show where his stupendously inoffensive light pop sounds cause women to tear their shirts off and men to start carrying signs reading, "Satan Music," all within about 30 seconds. Soon Dewey has hisself a wife (Kristen Wiig of "SNL") and a kid, but he still has a dream. So does the wife, but as Dewey tells her, "I can't build you a candy house." It would melt in the sun.
The movie will make it pretty much impossible for anyone who sees it to ever watch Ray or Walk the Line again, which is probably all to the good. "Walk Hard" is at its best when it's ripping apart a specific personality or movie rather than just lapsing into silliness, as it often does--Reilly has enough tighty-whitey scenes to rival the entire screen history of Will Ferrell's jockey-shorts romps. Maybe the highlight is a sequence in the middle where Dewey thinks he's Bob Dylan and decides to sing about "Justice--for women and midgets and such."
A Beatles parody--featuring Paul Rudd as a reedy John Lennon and Jack Black doing possibly the worst Paul McCartney imitation since Davy Jones of The Monkees--is solid also, complete with a trippy animated interlude out of "Yellow Submarine."
But as Dewey moves into the 70s (after pulling some Brian Wilson insanity-he spends four days on a trampoline and months crafting his next studio masterpiece--"open your mind and learn to play the f--kin' theremin!") the script loses some focus. The disco era brings some soft jabs at hokey variety shows and newsmagazine interviews, neither of which is worth making fun of in the first place. There are a couple of dead spots.
After a few mandatory breakdowns, though--poor Dewey gets so crazed he saws his own couch in half, and then bends all his spoons--Dewey is ready for a comeback. With the support of the cowgirl saint (a foxed-up Jenna Fischer) who stole him from his wife, along with the many hues of those Member's Only jackets, Dewey is on the charts again thanks to the rapper who samples his staple hit, "Walk Hard" (which, like most of the numbers here, is actually a pretty good song, though with goofy lyrics).
Now all that remains is for Dewey to do a comeback special featuring Jewel, Lyle Lovett and Jackson Browne covering his big hit, introduced by the standard incredibly pretentious rock-genius speech. Who better to deliver it than Eddie Vedder, who calls Dewey "the problem child, the white Indian, the giant midget"?
Things are going so well that forgotten are the days when Dewey, after a drug bust, after cheatin' on his woman and his other woman, after bad hairstyles and worse rehearsals, looked directly at the camera and screamed, "God damn it! This is a dark f--kin' period!"

Substance P (SP) and its receptor, the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1 R), are expressed by human tenocytes, and they are both up-regulated incases of tendinosis, a condition associated with excessive apoptosis. It is known that SP can phosphorylate/activate the protein kinase Akt,which has anti-apoptotic effects. This mechanism has not been studied for tenocytes. The aims of this study were to investigate if Anti-Fastreatment is a good apoptosis model for human tenocytes in vitro, if SP protects from Anti-Fas-induced apoptosis, and by which mechanismsSP mediates an anti-apoptotic response. Anti-Fas treatment resulted in a time- and dose-dependent release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), i.e.induction of cell death, and SP dose-dependently reduced the Anti-Fas-induced cell death through a NK-1 R specific pathway. The same trendwas seen for the TUNEL assay, i.e. SP reduced Anti-Fas-induced apoptosis via NK-1 R. In addition, it was shown that SP reduces Anti-Fas-induced decrease in cell viability as shown with crystal violet assay. Protein analysis using Western blot confirmed that Anti-Fas inducescleavage/activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP; both of which were inhibited by SP via NK-1 R. Finally, SP treatment resulted in phosphorylation/activation of Akt as shown with Western blot, and it was confirmed that the anti-apoptotic effect of SP was, at least partly, inducedthrough the Akt-dependent pathway. In conclusion, we show that SP reduces Anti-Fas-induced apoptosis in human tenocytes and that this antiapoptoticeffect of SP is mediated through NK-1 R and Akt-specific pathways.
Background: Achilles tendinopathy is a common clinical syndrome of chronic Achilles tendon pain combined with thickening of the tendon and impaired tendon function. Tendinopathy is often, but not always, induced by mechanical overload, and is frequently accompanied by abnormalities at the tissue level, such as hypercellularity and angiogenesis, in which case the condition is called tendinosis. In tendinosis, there are no signs of intratendinous inflammation, but occasionally increased apoptosis is observed. Tendinosis is often hard to treat and its pathogenesis is still not clear. Recently, a new hypothesis has gained support, suggesting a biochemical model based on the presence of a non-neuronal production of classically neuronal signal substances by the primary tendon cells (tenocytes) in tendinosis. The possible functional importance of these signal substances in tendons is unknown and needs to be studied. In particular, the neuropeptide substance P (SP) and catecholamines are of interest in this regard, since these substances have been found to be up-regulated in tendinosis. As both SP and catecholamines are known to exert effects in other tissues resulting in changes similar to those characteristic of tendinosis, it is possible that they have a role in tendinosis development. It is furthermore unknown what elicits the increased intratendinous neuropeptide production in tendinosis, but given that tendon overload is a prominent riskfactor, it is possible that mechanical stimuli are involved.
The hypothesis of this thesis work was that intratendinous production of SP is up-regulated in response to load of Achilles tendons/tenocytes, and thatstimulation of the preferred SP receptor, the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1 R), aswell as stimulation of the catecholamine α2 adrenoreceptors, contribute to the hypercellularity seen in tendinosis, via increased proliferation and/or decreased apoptosis, and that SP stimulates tendon angiogenesis. The purpose of the studies was to test this hypothesis. To achieve this, two model systems were used: One in vivo (rabbit Achilles tendon overload model of tendinosis) and one in vitro (human primary Achilles tendon cell culture model).
Results: In the rabbit Achilles tendon tissue, SP and NK-1 R expression was extensive in the blood vessel walls, but also to some extent seen in the tenocytes. Quantification of endogenously produced SP in vivo confirmed intratendinous production of the peptide. The production of SP by human tendon cells in vitro was furthermore demonstrated. The catecholamine synthesizing enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), as well as the α2A adrenoreceptor (α2A AR), were detected in the tenocytes, both in vivo in the rabbit tissue and in vitro in the human tendon cells. As a response to mechanical loading in the in vivo model, the intratendinous levels of SP increased, and this elevation was found to precede distinct tendinosis changes. The in vitro model demonstrated the same response to load, i.e. an increased SP expression, but in this case also a decrease in the NK-1 R expression. In the in vivo model, exogenously administered SP, as well as clonidine (an α2 AR agonist), accelerated tenocyte hypercellularity, an effect that was not seen when administrating a specific α2A AR antagonist. Exogenous administration of SP also resulted in intratendinous angiogenesis and paratendinous inflammation. In the in vitro model, both SP and clonidine had proliferative effects on the human tenocytes, specifically mediated via NK-1R and α2A AR, respectively; both of which in turn involved activation/phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). Exogenously administered SP, in Anti-Fas induced apoptosis of the tenocytes in vitro, confirmed SP to have an anti-apoptotic effect on these cells. This effect was specifically mediated via NK-1 R and the known anti-apoptotic Akt pathway.
Conclusions: In summary, this thesis concludes that stimulation of NK-1 R and α2A AR on tenocytes, both in vitro and in vivo, mediates significant cell signalling effects leading to processes known to occur in tendinosis, including hypercellularity. The pathological role of the hypercellularity in tendinosis is still unclear, but it is likely to affect collagen metabolism/turnover and arrangement, and thereby indirectly tendon biomechanical function. Additional evidence is here provided showing that SP not only causes tenocyte proliferation, but also contributes to anti-apoptotic events. Furthermore, it was concluded that SP may be involved in the development of tendinosis, since its production is increased in response to load, preceding tendinosis, and since SP accelerates tendinosis changes, through some mechanistic pathways here delineated. These findings suggest that inhibition of SP, and possibly also catecholamines, could be beneficial in the reconstitution/normalization of tendon structure in tendinosis.

The Changeling actor will join stars Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf in the third instalment in the action franchise, according to director Michael Bay 's blog.
The filmmaker posted a message saying Malkovich and Fargo actress Frances McDormand had both been "locked in" for roles in the follow up to 2009's Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.
The post said: "On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich – both amazing actors I've always wanted to work with."
It went on: "We also just got Ken Jeong, he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from Hangover and the Doctor from Knocked Up."
Bay said Transformers 3 has been "going very well".
"We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow and China," he added.

Jan Vesely in 2012-13 with the Wizards: Confidence at Sea, Searching for Dry Land
by Lukas Kuba (@Luke_Mellow)
In late March, I emailed several bloggers in the ESPN TrueHoop Network (18 to be exact), asking them an array of questions pertaining to Jan Vesely.
"Honestly haven't seen enough of him to have much of an opinion. Anything I could offer would be fairly misinformed, unfortunately," wrote Jared Wade of the Indiana Pacers blog, 8 Points, 9 Seconds. That was a common response. Most haven't seen enough of Vesely to have much to say about him.
If you look at the 29 other players taken in the 2011 first round, it's hard to have a neutral option of at least 85 percent of them. Yet here we are with Jan Vesely, the sixth overall pick.
No one from the group of emailed NBA watchers had anything positive to say about Vesely. The most critical opinion came from Kalen Deremo of the Denver Nuggets blog, Roundball Mining Company:
"He was clearly a bust even before the draft. I remember all the hype about him and all everyone said was how athletic he was and how good he ran the floor, etc., but nobody said anything about his skills or one aspect of the game he could do extremely well. I haven't seen enough of him to make definitive statements but from what I have seen he just looks raw and unskilled. You'd think after this long in the NBA he'd have improved. I think there's a spot for him if he wants to put his mind to becoming a better player. Otherwise, there's always Europe."
If Vesely has one thing going for him, he's an honest young man who doesn't make excuses. Right after the last game in Chicago, a CzechSport.cz reporter asked Jan about feelings about the just-concluded season.
"It was a difficult season, we had a bad start to the season and lots of injured players," said Vesely. "But we gradually improved and we managed to win several games in a row, too. So, by and large, there's some contentment in the [Wizards] organization.
"In my rookie season, I got used to playing with John Wall, so it was definitely one of the factors [why I struggled]. But I can't excuse my poor play on the absence of a point guard. In basketball, injuries happen every so often. If I want to play on this level I gotta be able to cope with it. I wanted to break-through in my second season but unfortunately, it didn't happen.
"I should've shown something, shown my skills off a bit, and I did not do that. It's not the same as in Belgrade, where I still was a young boy. The third season with the Wizards is going to be crucial. I gotta give everything into it."
Vesely has been candid about his struggles, saying, "they are mainly in my head. I was lacking self-confidence. This is what I have to work on. It's all about the head. I have to work on my individual skills and mainly on my psyche."
Still, the proverbial black clouds are rollin' up the valley for Vesely's NBA career. Last month, the Czech national team coach dubbed Vesely as "still an unfinished product." A Czech publication even ran this headline: "Vesely's Second Season Was a Severe Disappointment."
But there were beams of light, if you will. Vesely's minus-3.4 per 48 minutes was better than Chris Singleton (-4.7), Kevin Seraphin (-6.1), Jordan Crawford (-7.4), and Trevor Booker (-8.2). He was the only Wizard to shoot 50 percent from the field. And if you're looking at which young big was best paired with Wall, the order would go like this: Wall/Seraphin: 492 minutes, +2.1; Wall/Vesely: 117 mins, +0.8; Wall/Singleton: 287 minus, -0.2; Wall/Booker: 393 mins., -3.8.
Poor play ultimately falls on Vesely's shoulders, but he's also been put into an unenviable situation. The Wizards have a less-than-stellar track record when it comes to player development. Nor do they seem to turn to the D-League for developmental help—only Andray Blatche, Peter John Ramos, and Hamady N'diaye have been sent down while still on the official roster (Shelvin Mack only found the D-League once the Wizards had cut him). Leonsis has shown interest in owning his own D-League team, but Washington has clearly not advanced to that point as a franchise. The San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, and, as of April 2013, the Philadelphia 76ers each own a D-League team. Several NBA franchises have a single-team affiliation with a D-League team, the Wizards currently do not.
That said, Vesely's camp was granted assurance by the Wizards that he would not be sent down to the D-League, where, one could argue, it would be tougher for Vesely to develop via language barriers and the inability for Washington leadership to take a more hands-on approach. Sure, pride and the hope that Vesely would somehow crack Randy Wittman's rotation also fueled desires from Vesely's handlers to keep him at the top level. But persistent injuries to other Wizards became the prevailing factor to why he wasn't sent down. Again, without owning a team, the Wizards have less control over minor league development, and in July 2011, their affiliate was located all the way in Iowa. (The 76ers purchased a franchise, the Utah Flash, on hiatus for the past two seasons, and relocated them closer to Delaware.)
Still, could Vesely have used game experience on a lower lever to build his confidence? The start of the season was a disaster for the team, and as time progressed, Jan found himself in a role of the fifth big in a four-man frontcourt rotation. Nene and Emeka Okafor are both proven, quality veterans, and most times it seems that both Kevin Seraphin and Trevor Booker are better players than Vesely. Jan desperately needed playing time to develop his skills against live NBA competition, but all he got was a bouquet of DNP-CDs, losing confidence along the way. He played 601 total (mostly semi-garbage-time) minutes, which is just not enough for a kid who needs time.
Vesely played 25 or more minutes twice this season. Bismack freaking Biyombo had 48 such games. (#IfVeselyWasOnTheBobcats) The sophomore Honza appeared in 51 total games. Only six players from the first round of the 2011 draft played in less games than him: Iman Shumpert (45, but played way more minutes than Vesely), Donatas Motiejunas (44), Nolan Smith (40), Jordan Hamilton (40), Cory Joseph (28), and JaJuan Johnson (0 – he's not in the NBA anymore).
Six players from the 2011 second round played in more games than Vesely: Kyle Singler (82), Chandler Parsons (76), Isaiah Thomas (79), Lavoy Allen (79), E'Twaun Moore (75), and Charles Jenkins (59).
Not many prime-time producers have emerged from playing within a 500-to-650-minute window during their sophomore season. Gerald Wallace, Jayson Williams, Antonio Daniels, Dennis Scott, and Spud Webb are some of the better examples who have. Will Vesely's game elevate like Larry Sanders, or will it go the way of Luke Babbitt? Could he turn into a Kris Humphries-like contributor, or is he another Yinka Dare? Maybe Vesely is best suited as a future Bill Wennington or Greg Foster.
"It definitely could've been better but I don't think about it now, it's already [in the rearview mirror]. There's a summer [of basketball] ahead of me and I have to prepare for next season in order to play better," said Vesely on the lack of playing time, ever-ready to move forward.
The day after the season ended, Jan revealed his summer plans to Czech Television. "On Saturday [April 20], I will fly to visit my family in the Czech Republic, and once I'm there at home, I'll unwind. During June and July I'll be in Los Angeles working out and preparing for my third NBA season, and in August I'll join the [Czech] national team before the EuroBasket tournament. But first we have to get the insurance of my contract thing resolved."
While spending time in L.A., Vesely plans to work out with a Slovenian coach who first got him as a 16-year-old kid. "He's crazy into basketball. He'll instill confidence in my head," says Vesely. And it's no secret that he'll be looking to boost himself at EuroBasket. "I'm immensely looking forward to playing for the [Czech] national team, it's a long time since I played [for my country]. It's going to be a nice change for me."
Vesely's teammates still seem to believe in him, or at least see through the youth to potential, particularly A.J. Price.
"Jan's a great, great young talent, I think he's gonna be a phenomenal player, when he comes into his own," said Price toward the end of the season. "You know, right now, he's still trying to find himself, his game in the NBA. But he's got all the skills to do everything, and I think next year's gonna be a big year for him."
With the biggest summer of his sporting life ahead of the once-celebrated "Airwolf," Wizards fans can only hope for the best. Hope that Vesely gets stronger, hope that he takes thousands of mid-range jumpers, hope he excels out west at summer league and overseas at EuroBasket 2013, hope his ship finds the shore. Because hope, at least, is always the last one to die, but two feet on dry land means the journey can continue.

Did you watch the Golden Globes last night? Here are a few of the amazing pieces that the celebs chose to wear. I was surprised that there wasn't more Emerald green, being as that was Pantone's color choice for 2013.
Actress Anne Hathaway, won for Les Miserables, and is still sporting her cute boy haircut. She chose to keep it simple, yet classy, with diamond stud earrings, diamond bracelets and her wedding ring.
Julianne Moore, that played Sarah Palin in "Game Change," decided to wear a full length black and white gown with elegant, yet long, chandelier type earrings. She was also wearing gold and diamond bangle bracelets, with a hint of emerald.
Jodie Foster, who won the Cecil B. Demille Award, and also left us scratching our heads after her acceptance speech, wore a vintage style diamond bracelet, elongated gold and diamond art deco ring, diamond round stud earrings, with a strappy neckline dress.
Jennifer Lawrence, took home a Golden Globe for her performance in "Silver Linings Playbook," while wearing a tomato colored gown (which seemed to be the popular color choice for the evening) with a simple gold belt to show off her tiny waistline. She was also wearing some lovely long swirl drop earrings, without a necklace. She also gave a pretty humorous speech, starting off by saying, "I beat Meryl."
Claire Danes, wore a gorgeous Versace tomato colored gown with long diamond earrings. She also chose not to wear a necklace. (We have the "look" with our crystal earrings!)
And lastly, Jessica Alba, wore a $5.8 million dollar diamond Harry Winston necklace and an Oscar de la Renta gown in coral. Though she wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe, she presented an award, showing off her fabulous bling and amazing dress.
Which celebs wore some of your favorite fashions and jewelry from the evening? Comment below!

As promised, here are pics of the fantastic package I have recieved from Nobodyhasthisoneyet.
First there were 4 (yes, 4)fantastic altar cloths, 3 embroidered and one in cream damask.
Then a large papier mache bowl in shades of blue and green
A world stressball (very useful as we are selling my Hubbie's flat at the mo)
A beautiful card and apple stickers. There are many more than shown here
There was a brilliant altered photo of a stone circle showing details of a Samhain ritual I described in my questionnairre, and some clay stars to use to hang and scent my wardrobe. But those photos have dissappeared in my computer, along with one of the cream cloth. I will edit this post when I find them.
I love everything, but my undoubted favourites are the green altarcloth which is perfect for the current season. And the altered photo which brings back special memories.
Thanks again Nobodyhasthisoneyet. You have been a great swap partner.
ETA: And I have just spent an hour cleaning and cleansing our altar, and putting the green altar cloth on, as i couldn't wait. I know have candles and essential oils burning and I just love the way it looks. It also feels much more positive, so thanks soo much.

We're operating today in the innovation economy. You've likely seen the working world changing all around you. Today, it's wildly different than for previous generations. But what does this mean for talent acquisition?
Simply put, traditional hiring strategies are proving to be inadequate in today's business world. While in the past it was acceptable to recruit based on tangible, traditional "fit" signals like GPA and technical abilities, the current innovation economy demands a focus on a separate set of skills. These are non-cognitive or soft skills—communication, collaboration, creativity, and even grit—that are fundamental to succeeding in an environment in which ingenuity is key.
These may seem difficult to identify and measure but machine learning and artificial intelligence can help.
Download our latest e-book, "Improving Candidate Quality: New Signals for Hiring in the Innovation Economy" to demystify predictive hiring and get tangible next steps to update and improve your talent acquisition strategy.
When you download the e-book, you'll learn more about:
- The innovation economy, what it is, and what it means for you
- Major ramifications on talent acquisition
- How to identify the new signals for hiring success
- The fundamentals of predictive hiring
Start improving the quality of your new hiring candidates today.

MOPPING up after spills may become a thing of the past with the release of new Australian technology at Safety In Action and Materials & Manual Handling from 21 to 23 March.
Allure Safety will add to its range of more than 450 spill containment products and 2000 associated safety products with a granular absorbent material called SpillFix. The lightweight material absorbs liquid, semi-liquid and viscous spills leaving floors clean and instantly dry. Users simply sweep the product away with a broom.
SpillFix eliminates the hazard of slippery floors associated with mopping, which is particularly valuable in highly trafficked areas like corridors and aisles. The product can be used to absorb blood and body fluids and dramatically decreases the risk of cross contamination and infection for cleaning staff.
The waterless technology is also ideal for carpet and made from natural non-toxic ingredients, SpillFix can be legally disposed of in landfill. In recognition of these benefits, SpillFix was recently named "Best New Product" at Ausclean 2004.
See SpillFix and many other spill containment products demonstrated by Allure Safety at stand H18, Safety In Action and Materials & Manual Handling, from Monday 21 to Wednesday 23 March 2005 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. For more information or to register online, visit www.safetyinaction.net.au, phone Australian Exhibitions & Conferences on (03) 9654 7773 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The record label is selling memorabilia from acts big and small to raise money for tsunami and earthquake victims
EMI, one of the music industry's four major record labels, launched an online auction today to benefit the victims of the earthquake in Japan. The label counts on its roster artists including Coldplay, Katy Perry, Arcade Fire, and Keith Urban, and, according to a press release, over the next three weeks "incredible auction items" from these stars will be made available for bidding. Proceeds will go the Red Cross, with EMI matching all funds raised up to one million euros.
There are currently more than 100 items up for auction, with EMI promising more to come (presumably from Perry, Jeff Bridges, and other artists listed in the release who currently have no memorabilia for sale). This initial crop of offerings is a bit ... unusual, more closely resembling a garage scale in an upscale LA suburb than a high-profile charity auction. Here' are some of the most bizarre—and coolest—items up for sale:
-Mel C's belt from the Spice Girls reunion tour
-A Beatles photo with a note about its condition: "Good, minor wear on corners but suitable for framing"
-A life-sized cardboard cutout of Robbie Williams
-A signed MTV Japan Moon Man trophy won by the Beastie Boys
-Run-of-the-mill signed photos from Norah Jones and Alan Jackson
-A tour of Abbey Road studios
-Private singing lessons with opera singer Diana Damrau (in Munich, travel expenses not included)
-Keith Urban meet and greet and two concert tickets
-Dress worn by Danish singer Medina on tour
The auction ends April 15, and it should be interesting to see if the event transcends Planet Hollywood store closing sale status. This is, of course, the second major charity offering from the music industry. Songs for Japan, an album featuring 38 hit songs by artists ranging from Justin Bieber to John Lennon to Nicki Minaj, debuted last week in the top five of the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Songs for Japan did not include any original songs, as past charity music efforts tied to global disasters have. The lack of new music, along with the wide range of artists involved (Josh Groban! Eminem! Ne-Yo!), made Songs for Japan feel like the latest volume in the Now!...That's What I Call Music compilation series. Coincidentally, EMI's Japan auction allows you to bid on Now!...That's What I Call Music! Volumes 1-37, currently going for $300.24.

Dynamics and Bioavailability of Heavy Metals in the Rootzone - Advances in Trace Elements in the Environment (Hardback)H. Magdi Selim (editor)
- We can order this
Concerns regarding heavy metal contamination in terrestrial ecosystems have prompted increasing efforts on limiting their bioavailability in the root zone. The complexity of the hydrologic system gives rise to the need for understanding the fate and transport of trace elements in the soil-water-plant environment. Dynamics and Bioavailability of Heavy Metals in the Rootzone provides a multidisciplinary approach with emphasis on geohydrology, plant and soil science, and environmental chemistry. The primary focus of this book is on different approaches that describe the dynamics of heavy metals in the soil system. These approaches are key to providing direct information on the concentration of heavy metals and hence on their transport, toxicity, and bioavailability.
The book includes chapters covering equilibrium and kinetic models of heavy metal interactions as well as non-equilibrium transport models. It also discusses chemical processes controlling soil solution concentrations and modeling of heavy metals adsorption. Addressing the biological component of heavy metal dynamics, this work examines rhizosphere microorganisms and phytoremediation. Colloid-associated transport, which can result in groundwater contamination, is discussed in relation to reclaimed mine sites. The authors also present an overview of recent advancements in the biogeochemistry of trace elements and their environmental implications. Additional chapters include examination of various natural environments including runoff waters at the watershed scale, heavy metal transformation in wetlands, dynamics of trace metals in frequently flooded soils, and effects on crops in biosolid-amended soils.
Reliable assessment of potential risks resulting from the transport of trace elements in the soil environment requires the examination of complex chemical and biological interactions due to the heterogeneous nature of soils. This text describes the current state of the art in this field and explores innovative experimental and theoretical/modeling approaches that will enhance this knowledge. The book provides a coherent presentation of recent advances in techniques, modeling, and dynamics and bioavailability of heavy metals in the root zone.

MOTORISTS travelling in and out of Brighouse were checked by police.
Officers were investigating vehicles for road worthiness, as well as document offences at the Wyke crossroads and along Bradford Road, Brighouse.
In total 54 vehicles were stopped and three were found to be using illegal fuel.
Two were not displaying a current tax disc and a motorist was reported for summons for having no licence or insurance.
In the operation, Neighbourhood Policing Team officers joined forces with Roads Policing, British Transport Police, the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency, Customs, Environmental Services, HM Courts and local councillors.
Sgt Dean Maddocks, of Lower Valley NPT, said: "We had received a number of reports of theft of metal and suspicious vehicles operating in the area. We have also had incidents where suspects have used unsuspecting taxis in a bid to avoid detection.
"I am delighted that so many partner agencies were able to support us."
Other motorists were issued with fixed penalty notices or prohibitions for safety reasons and were ordered to have their vehicles repaired before they could get back on the road.

Creams for the Removal of Milia
Milia is a skin condition in which dead skin remains trapped in a small pocket on the skin's surface, similar to tiny whiteheads. Milia can be classified as primary, fluid-filled cysts from skin cells that did not shed properly, or secondary, where cysts are a result of something clogging the skin ducts, such as an existing skin condition or injury. While milia is common in infants and usually does not need to be treated, in adults it lasts longer and may require treatment. There are various creams available that will remove primary milia and various ways in which to prevent its development.
Retinoid Cream
Retinoid cream, otherwise known as Vitamin A cream, is often prescribed by a doctor. This prescription cream tends to have exfoliating properties, causing the skin to dry and peel, unclogging pores and rejuvenating cells. Retinoid cream works more quickly than the over-the-counter version, retinol, because the active ingredient, retinoic acid, is already present. Examples of prescription-strength retinoid creams include adapalene, tazarotene or tretinoin. It is best to use this cream before bedtime as skin will be more sensitive to UV rays after use. Do not use this cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as Vitamin A can be harmful in excess 1.
Retinol Cream
Retinol cream acts to remove milia much like retinoid cream. While retinol cream has exfoliating properties and serves to increase cell production in the top layer of the skin, it is weaker than retinoid cream. This formula is available over-the-counter. Rather than containing the active ingredient, retinoic acid, it gradually converts into the active ingredient, a less potent Vitamin A compound. It may take more time before results are seen. Retinol cream is less irritating to the skin, and it is less expensive than retinoid crean. Retinol cream typically varies in the percentage of retinol it contains, up to one percent. Like retinoid cream, it should ideally be applied at bedtime.
Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) Cream
Cream containing Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) also removes milia by causing exfoliation. AHAs are natural acids that allow the top layer of dead skin to come off easily. Depending on the concentration of AHA in the cream, there may be more or less shedding of the skin. Glycolic acid is the most common AHA in skin care products, according to the Doctor Good Skin website 3. Other AHAs include fruit acids and lactic acid. Overall, AHA creams tend to improve the skin's general condition, texture and tone, while unblocking and cleansing pores. AHAs do increase susceptibility to sun damage, so always wear a sunscreen during use and for approximately one week after.
Preventing Milia
There are a number of things you can do to prevent the development of milia 1. Make sure to moisturize with an oil-free moisturizer as dead skin cells can result from flaking skin that lacks moisture. Avoid heavy skin care products and cosmetics 1. Try to choose high-quality and oil-free products. Avoid too much sun exposure as this can thicken the skin and make it harder to exfoliate. Most importantly, try to implement regular exfoliation in your skincare regime. Light regular exfoliation goes a long way toward preventing milia.

[JURIST] China's Supreme People's Court [official wesbite, Chinese] issued a ruling on Thursday banning the use of forced confessions extracted through torture. The court reportedly claimed [Reuters report] that "illegal methods" of confession extraction, including food and sleep deprivation and temperature manipulation are unacceptable and amount to torture. Judges have been instructed to rule out confessions obtained through these methods in order to increase judicial transparency and to reduce the number of unfair convictions. This ruling is part of a broad move [Xinhua report] by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to reform the nation's human rights situation. Earlier this month the CPC issued a high-profile reform plan, part of a package of efforts designed to implement substantial reforms in the country's policies. The reforms, among other things, aim to reduce capital punishment convictions, abolish labor re-education camps, and provide legal aid to citizens.
China's relationship with torture has been under heavy scrutiny in recent years. A UN human rights expert in 2005 claimed [JURIST report] that torture in the country was widespread. China subsequently denied those allegations, yet in November of 2006 the country released [JURIST reports] at least 30 citizens it said had been wrongfully convicted through the use of torture in interrogation. The UN Committee Against Torture [official website] condemned [JURIST report] China's use of torture to extract confessions in 2008, despite its official prohibitions of the practice. In 2010, China issued [JURIST report] a ban on the introduction of evidence obtained through torture, but the move did little to alleviate criticisms and allegations of human rights abuses [JURIST backgrounder]. China also faced allegations made by South Korea of torture used against prisoners and detainees in 2012.
