Existentialism is a philosophical way of thinking. It sees humans, with will and consciousness, as being in a world of objects which do not have those qualities. The fact that humans are conscious of their mortality, and must make decisions about their life is what existentialism is all about.[1]
It was started by the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855).[1] As it developed in the 20th century, it was an atheistic philosophy, although existentialism's founder, Søren Kierkegaard, was a deeply religious man. [1] Most of its main thinkers and writers were in Europe. Sartre, for example, spent most of the Second World War in a German prison camp, reading the philosophy of Heidegger.[2] When he came out he gave a lecture called Existentialism and humanism. This early lecture may be easier to read than his later work.[3]
Many religions and philosophies (ways of thinking about the world) say that human life has a meaning (or a purpose). But people who believe in existentialism think that the world and human life have no meaning unless people give them meaning: "existence precedes [is before] essence". This means that we find ourselves existing in the world, and then we give ourselves meaning, or 'essence'. As Sartre said, "We are condemned to be free".[2] This means that we have no choice but to choose, and that we have full responsibility for our choices.
Existentialists believe that our human 'essence' or 'nature' (way of being in the world) is simply our 'existence' (being in the world). More simply put, the 'essence' of a human, or what makes a human a 'human', is not due to nature or uncontrollable circumstances; rather, human essence is really just what we choose to make it. This means that the only nature we as humans have is the nature we make for ourselves. As a result of this, existentialists think that the actions or choices that a person makes are very important. They believe that every person has to decide for themselves what is right and wrong, and what is good and bad.
People who believe in existentialism ask questions like "what is it like to be a human (a person) in the world?" and "how can we understand human freedom (what it means for a person to be free)?" Existentialism is often connected with negative emotions, such as anxiety (worrying), dread (a very strong fear), and mortality (awareness of our own death).
Existentialism is sometimes confused with nihilism. It is different from nihilism, but there is a similarity. Nihilists believe that human life does not have a meaning (or a purpose) at all; existentialism says that people must choose their own purpose.
Existentialism in books[change | change source]
Many of the main sources for existentialism were written in other languages and only later translated, mostly after the 1950s.
- The Outsider, by Colin Wilson (1956), examined the idea of the social outsider in modern society. It was one of the few books in English to give a readable explanation of the ideas and writings of Dostoyevsky, Sartre and Camus, especially the idea of alienation.
- Irrational Man: a study in existential philosophy, by William Barratt (1958), Anchor Books ISBN 0-385-03138-6. This is a more direct study of existentialism by a professional philosopher. It introduced the idea of existentialism as a philosophy.
- Franz Kafka wrote books about people who feel hopeless because they are trapped in absurd (meaningless or senseless) situations that they do not understand.
- Fyodor Dostoevsky, a Russian writer, wrote novels such as Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. Dostoevsky also wrote Notes from Underground, which is the story of a man who cannot fit into society and who feels alienated.
- Hermann Hesse is a writer who wrote the book Steppenwolf in 1928. Hesse used an existentialist idea from Kierkegaard to write this book.
- Jean-Paul Sartre wrote novels such as Iron in the Soul that have existential themes. The people in Jean-Paul Sartre's stories often faced death, and had to make hard choices.
- Albert Camus wrote novels such as The Stranger that had stories about existentialism. The Stranger tells the story about a man who does not have feelings (emotions) after his mother dies. The man does not believe in God. The man does not have feelings (emotions) after he murders (kills) an Arab man.
Existentialism in movies[change | change source]
Ingmar Bergman made a movie called The Seventh Seal in 1957. It shows the dooma and gloom of the late Middle Ages caused by the Black Plague, famine, the Hundred Years' War between France and England, and papal schism.[4]
The movie Taxi Driver (which has the actor Robert DeNiro) from 1976 has existential ideas in it. The main character feels sad and lonely, because he cannot understand the world. Jean-Luc Godard's "Vivre sa vie (film)" and Federico Fellini's 8 1/2 are prime examples of the Existentialism fashion in the European early 50's that influenced American films such as Easy Rider or The Graduate in the 1960s.
I Heart Huckabees is a 2004 film directed by David O. Russell. The movie revolves around a man who hires two existential detectives to find out about his "coincidence." He meets his "other" and is tempted with the dark side of existentialism.

The biceps muscle is located at the front of the arm and powers elbow flexion (bending) as well as wrist rotation. The biceps has one tendon that travels across the elbow and attaches at the forearm and at the other end, has a pair of tendons that attach at the shoulder. Thus, the biceps is actually important to both shoulder and elbow function. The biceps is used in almost every activity of the arm, so painful biceps tendonitis/tendinosis, or overuse-related pain, is very common. Less commonly, the tendons can actually tear, causing sudden pain, bruising and weakness.
Biceps tendonitis is an overuse problem which causes pain in the over-taxed tendon, either at the elbow or at the front of the shoulder. Pain is usually worse with resistance training of the biceps or when weight is lifted with a straight arm directly in front of the body. A biceps tendon tear is a sudden event, resulting in acute pain, bruising, swelling and weakness.
Biceps tendon problems are diagnosed with a detailed interview and examination with your sports medicine physician. The biceps tendon can actually be felt through the skin and tenderness in this area is usually a very good indicator. An MRI is helpful in some cases, especially if a tear is suspected.
Treatment for the biceps tendon is specific to the symptoms and to the specific problem with the tendon (tendonitis versus partial tearing versus full tearing). When the diagnosis is tendonitis, rest, anti-inflammatories and physical therapy or a home exercise program are often successful. Cortisone injections may also be effective. In cases of tendonitis or partial tearing where nonsurgical treatment is not effective, a surgical repair may be considered. If you suspect a tendon tear, see your doctor right away as surgery may be needed.

Missile Command will come in two flavors: retro and evolved. The retro version will feature the blocky glory of the original while the evolved version will look like what you see above (check out both in our gallery). The sweetness is that the game will only be 400 MS points ($5). Updated graphics in a retro game at a retro price? That's something worth defending.

Hi everyone! My name is Nathan and I am going to be hunting in RSA for ten days in July 2010 and going for Southern Kudu, Gemsbuck, Impala, Nyala, Bushbuck, Cape Elanda and Red Hartebeast. I plan on caping them for shoulder mounts and am just trying to get some info on shipping and brokerage charges for crated trophies leaving RSA and being shipped to Portland, OR as a US port of entry. I just want to have an idea on pricing will be from folks who have done this before. I am really glad to have found this web site! What a wealth of information!!
You can look a lot of this information up under taxidermy in South Africa...on the home page. But I give you a ballpark figure for dipping and packing. It will cost around $1000 to dip and pack and crate the animals and at least a $1000 to get it back to the States. You could save by ocean freighting it...possibly. I know a good taxidermist over there that could mount the animals for less than $5000 and ship it by oceanliner for $1500 to $2000. It all depends on the option you want to use.
You really want to get the broker info BEFORE you go over. At this studio I supply the clients with a detailed pac which includes some of the following -- laminated shipping tags with the hunters name on one side and all the shipping info on the other side, broker shipping tags, power of attorney papers, tips,etc...... So after you take a critter you can give your ph the tags for the capes and horns/skull. etc.. Then after you are home awhile and they ship your trophies over they will go to the port you want them to go to and then shipped to your USDA tannery/taxidermist out west and not to new york and have to pay all that shipping to you. Most prices are around 1800.00 for that size for air shipping, brokers, customs, USDA, freight shipment, etc.... Have a great hunt.....:bighello:
nkjonas: I'd echo what oak22 said - if you are planning to have the mounts done at home, hook up with a taxidermist who has a lot of experience with African game. Not only can they map the whole process for you, an experienced shop will have working arrangements with the dip-pack companies and customs brokers. This reduces the chances for errors and might result in some discounts. I did it this way and the shop owner equipped me with tags for hides and horns plus instruction letters for each company that handled the trophies. He's now corresponding with each party to track status of the process. If you are inclined to have the mounts done in the RSA, talk to enysse. He's got insight into the do's and dont's of going that route and can probably direct you to the folks to work with.
Good advise but I would add you should have 3 laminated tags for each animal...Skull, Cape, and backskin... I usually figure a ball park figure of $100 per animal for salted hides and horns, but it is very hard to say as the airlines are constantly changing rates to mee thier needs. Taxidermy is extra. I advise all taxidermy be done in the USA because if you have problems then you don't have to fly to Africa to sort it out and many have had to do in the past. Most Safari Companies will encourage you to do so, as in some cases they get a commission if you do..Many US hunters will tell you that they had their stuff done in Africa and had no problems and this is also true, but if they keep doing so they will sooner or later get bit in the butt... I have been in this business for many years and I have seen some real trajadies take place with taxidermist over seas, and more than my share in the USA, and I hear these horror stories from a lot of folks.. My advise, for whatever anyone thinks its worth.
This is a question asked a lot and you will get a wide range of half answers. laminated tags are good to keep track of your trophies but from experience most tags will not make it through the whole process. Tags placed on hides are fine but, the ones on skulls/ horns are toast when they go through the boil. Dip & Pack / shipping/ brokers - I have compiled invoices from customer for years. The prices I'm posting are from RSA to Dallas to My shop in Corpus Christi,TX D&P (salted hides & skulls) - 125.00 per trophy air freight to Port of Entry - $650.00 to $ 850.00 broker - $450.00 - $600.00 shipping to shop $150.00 -$200.00 You may find cheaper quotes but I'll bet they will be closer to what I have posted by the time you get the bill.

State and Trends of the Carbon Market—2004
This study describes the status of the emerging carbon market, as of May 2004. The carbon market encompasses trades of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission allowances (under the European Union (EU) Emissions Trading Scheme), and project-based transactions, whereby a buyer participates in the financing of a project that reduces GHG emissions, compared with what would have happened otherwise, and gets emission reduction credits in exchange (for example, Clean Development Mechanism, or Joint Implementation projects under the Kyoto Protocol). The study finds that the carbon market is growing steadily. A total of 64 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) has been exchanged through projects from January to May 2004, nearly as much as during the whole year 2003 (78 million). Furthermore, the demand for emission reductions remains heavily concentrated, with a few EU governments, and Japanese firms the largest buyers. Finally, Asia is now the largest supplier of emission reductions, followed by Latin America, developed economies, and Eastern Europe. Prices of project-based emission reductions in early 2004 have remained essentially stable compared with 2003. In the absence of a standard contract, these prices strongly depend on the structure of the transaction, notably risk-sharing between buyers and sellers.

California police have shot and killed two people in separate drug law enforcement incidents in the past week. Luis Morin of Coachella and Mark Ayala of El Centro become the 7th and 8th persons to die in US domestic drug law enforcement operations so far this year. According to the San Bernardino Sun, citing police sources, the first killing, which occurred last Monday night, happened when a Riverside County sheriff's deputy attempted to arrest Morin on felony warrants. "When the officer attempted to take the subject into custody, an altercation occurred, which resulted in an officer-involved shooting," Deputy Armando Munoz said. Morin died at the scene, according to the coroner's office. Police didn't specify what the warrants were for, but later in the week, Morin's family members told KESQ TV News that one was for possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell and the other was for grand theft auto. The family also expressed anger with the unnamed deputy who shot Morin. "He did not come to serve a warrant," said Morin's father. "He came with bad intentions. I would love to see him prosecuted." The deputy has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation by Riverside County prosecutors. Two days later, according to KSWT 13 News, citing police sources, members of the Imperial County Narcotics Task Force shot and killed Ayala in a taxi in El Centro. The Imperial Valley Press reported that task force members present included Border Patrol and DEA agents, as well as agents from the Imperial County District Attorney's Office. Police said Ayala was wanted for unspecified parole or probation violations and that he was armed. But they did not say whether he had brandished a weapon or fired at them. Ayala was hit by multiple shots and died at the scene. No police were injured. A witness, who didn't want her name used, told KSWT 13 that Ayala was still in the back seat of the taxi when officers opened fire. "I was in the kitchen and heard tires screeching and then I went outside," said the woman identified only as Guadelupe, whose remarks were printed in Spanish. "When I got outside, I saw a taxi and the officers were already pointing their guns at the guy in the back seat. "There was a lot of shooting," she said. |

Liesl spends her life locked away in an attic, mourning the death of her father. One day, a ghost named Po appears, asking Liesl to draw it a picture and passing along some words from her late father: "I should never have eaten the soup." The pair escapes and set out on an adventure that would allow her father to rest in peace. Along the way they meet another orphan named Will who happens to be delivering the most powerful magic in the world for an evil alchemist. They join forces and spend their journey avoiding the various adults that are chasing them, using magic, friendship, and luck.
You know you are in for some sadness when the first sentence in a book is, "On the third night after the day her father died, Liesl saw the ghost." Our heroes are mistreated orphans or ghosts, all but one adult is evil, and the sun has not come out in 1,728 days. Still, many of the best children's books (The Graveyard Book, The Giving Tree, anything by Roald Dahl) mix darkness and light, and Liesl and Po is an example of how to share difficult subjects with a young audience. Liesl's optimism, Po's loyalty, and Will's kind heart are the traits that everyone hopes to maintain in the face of loss. Author Lauren Oliver's preface states that she wrote the novel in response to the death of her best friend. What was a lifeline for an author became a gift to the reader.
There is a timeless quality to Liesl & Po which brings to mind many of my favorite books from childhood. While some readers may dislike the familiarity of the characters and plot, I believe that those books are classics for a reason and one can never have enough beautifully written stories about friendship and love. With its vaguely Victorian setting and lack of details that place it in a particular time period, this is a novel with enduring appeal.
It was easy to predict the ending of the story, but I was happy to follow the twists and turns that Oliver takes to get us there. Her writing is beautiful, and the vivid descriptions would make this an excellent read aloud. The illustrations by Kei Acedera are dreamy and fit in with the magical atmosphere of the story. If I had any complaint, it would be that the evil characters did not receive harsh enough punishments, although that may be the vindictive adult in me.
While Liesl and Po is a standalone novel, I hope it is only the first of many middle grade novels by Lauren Oliver.

"What was a lifeline for an author became a gift to the reader. " This, and so many other lines, were just lovely. Liesl and Po sounds like a little treasure of a book. I know it's free to read on Facebook until the end of the month (2 more days!). I just need to hurry up and take advantage!

It has almost no chance — but its introduction is still disturbing for a lot of reasons.According to the Des Moines Register, the bill "states that each life, from the moment of conception, is accorded full rights of any person under the constitution." Like the Ohio heartbeat bill, it's explicitly intended as a challenge to Roe v. Wade, which prohibits states from banning abortion before viability. The bill's author, Iowa Rep. Kim Pearson, says she hopes it goes all the way to the Supreme Court.

i am very new to nle and got PP 5.5, not sure if its an appropriate question to ask here, but still..... i am building a new station for my self now that will include:
The Intel® Desktop Board DX79TO, I7-3930K, 16 gb ram, and i am kind of stocked with the video card, as until now i was ATI owner HD4890...... but it was stated that PP supports now nvideo cards...
so i would like to ask what should i choose? GTX580 or 680 (seems like price is not much different) or Quadro ?
there are some variations of 580 ... 1500mb and 3000mb - not really sure if its worth having extra mb at all, the cheapest 580 is about 420$ , but the 3000mb is about 550$ , and 680 also can be found in 500-600$ range...... so its a dilemma! quadro is a bit more expansive toy 700-900 but is it better then gtx series?
from my understanding the more cudas u have the better..... also 680 is a fresh pci version....
any thoughts?
Results 1 to 10 of 16
i would recommend the 680 related to CUDA cores, which will work nice if you do the cuda hack --> Mercury Playback Engine
you can get the most Informations here: http://www.studio1productions.com/Ar...remiereCS5.htm
as you can see in this article, the 580 will take just a few seconds longer to render your timeline... so if you want to safe your money i would go with the 580.
better more cuda then memory ;)

If I was you I would check the specs and requirements for CS6. ( You are bound to upgrade one day)
I believe that CS6 utilises Cuda cores differently to CS5.5 ( ie uses more of them) ...so you may as well future proof your self some degree.www.shooterfilm.co.nz

04-20-2012 10:27 AMQuadros are overpriced and underspec'd compared to gaming cards when it comes to the Mercury Playback Engine.
Right now a good model would be a 560Ti with 2GB of memory. You can pick one up for about $210. The 570 and 580 might offer some slight improvement, but probably not enough to justify the extra cost.
I had an NVidia and Adobe specialist show me the difference between using a GTX card and Quadro card side by side at NAB. The Quadro had much better performance than the GTX card when it came to using Premiere Pro. If I were the original poster invest in a card that will give you the best overall performance like a Quadro, Tesla or Maximus card.

04-21-2012 10:21 AMIf the Quadro card had much better performance, it was because it had much better specs. (In short, not a proper comparison.)
Given the same specs, the two will perform about the same. The difference is that the Quadro with the same specs will cost a hell of a lot more than the GTX.
Given the same price, the GTX will always outperform the Quadro.

there is also gtx 590, i believe its dual GPU, i read somewhere its two 580 inside..... but also from what i read it looks like it has some tech issues
according to nvideo its best to use Quadro, but for some reasons they dont compare gtx at all
if to look at Cuda cores - again from what i heard the more the better, and GTX defiantly kills Quadros here....
as i understand rendering is still done by CPU, so its maybe better to invest in good CPU...., maybe its better to buy 2 Xeon, but if say true never was there and kind of scared to step in
I update my pc every 3 years and always kind of want to buy the best toy , but its hard to choose the Video Card, the rest of pc like Cpu, memory, mother boards - are easy to choose, but video cards are always pain in 1 place
would be great to know the exact models they compared....
about quadro + tesla together - i dont think its worth the money, according to that image there is some difference in speed but difference in price is HUGEeeee - http://www.nvidia.com/content/adobe/...price-perf.jpg

The coffee table shown on the left, which is made out of European oak, is the table in question.
I had not built a coffee table with this type of curved legs before so, as I was machining up the timber, I began to think about how I might do the curves.
As I am presently working on another table based on this design, although this time with no drawers, and made from American cherry, I decided to post some images and explanations of how it was done on this blog.
The first job was to do the mortising, this needed to be done first because you need a flat face down on the bed of the mortiser (which you wouldn't have after cutting the curves).
As the top of the leg starts off straight, I used the fence, and set a stop on the band saw so that the cut would cease slightly before the curve started.
I cut all four legs up to the stop, then, moving the fence into the right position for the second cut, cut all four again in the same manner, but at right angles to my first cut. (see first picture left) I then removed the fence, and cut the curve on one face of each leg, but stopped short by about 3/4" from meeting the straight cut which would have cut them right through.
I then took each leg in turn, inserted card spacers the same width as my band saw cut, to prevent movement, and turning them on to the other face cut the curve at right angles to the first cut, but this time continuing on until I met the straight cut, so cutting the legs right through. (see second and third pictures left - you can't see the card in the third picture, but that's because it's been tucked right into the slots).
This then left me with only 3/4" of the first cut to complete. I simply drew a freehand pencil line over that 3/4" followed it on the band saw, to give me my four legs with adjoining curved faces. A bit of tidying up with a spokeshave and sander completed the job.
As a tip, don't immediately saw up the off cuts for waste, they come in very handy when you want to clamp the curved legs in the bench vice for sanding. Just make sure to put a thin bit of card between the off cut and the legs to prevent the rough cut edge making marks on the face you've already sanded.
The fourth picture shows the legs after sanding.
And yes, they are the same cherry legs: the yellow colour is only caused by taking the picture without the flashlight on my camera enabled: it comes from the workshop lights.
On the right, you can see how the finished table turned out.

I have recently read a book called "Rise of the Vampire" by C.S. Revlis. It was enjoyable and an easy read. It moved quickly and had a great story with lots of interesting characters. It was a lot of fun to read. It is very interesting, with battles, war, some love, magic and faith. It is the first in a new series and I think it warrants a look.

Dinwiddie gives Pistons early inkling he'll be worth the wait
ORLANDO – "Sorry that I'm not looking at you," Spencer Dinwiddie said as he thoughtfully answered questions about the state of his left knee's rehabilitation and his NBA future. "But I'm paying attention."
It was just that fellow point guard Peyton Siva was engaged in a spirited shooting drill with Pistons assistant coach Charles Klask 20 feet from where he sat and Dinwiddie was doing what all good point guards must: multitasking, observing, processing.
Time will tell if Dinwiddie, at 6-foot-6, possesses the rare talent required of a player who occupies one of the 30 starting point guard positions in the NBA. But he's struck all who've crossed his path so far in his week as a Piston as articulate, self-aware and confident.
When Dinwiddie said last week, after the Pistons capitalized on the fact his knee injury facilitated his slide to their spot at 38 in the second round, that he saw himself as a "pure one" – a point guard all the way – understand that it's something he's been doing since … forever.
He was always a point guard. He just wasn't always a tall point guard.
"I always had the ball in my hands," he said. "Depending on the team, you have different needs. But I started high school at 5-7, 117 (pounds). I grew 3 inches every year of my high school career. I went from 5-7 to 5-10 to 6-1 to 6-4, so I was really small. So that's what I used to do. I was used to playing the pick and roll. I was 6-4, about 155 at the end of high school and averaged like 11, 12 points and nine assists a game."
At Colorado, they needed him to score a little more. Dinwiddie averaged 15 points and four assists over his last two seasons as a sophomore and junior, which ended in mid-January when he suffered his knee injury in a Pac-12 game at Washington.
"If they had wanted me to get like eight, nine assists and score seven, eight points, that's what I would have done. At the end of the day, it's about winning."
He grew up in Los Angeles, the Lakers his team and Kobe Bryant his favorite player.
"I was really small but my favorite player was Kobe. It's kind of a disconnect, but I really loved Kobe's competitiveness and the way he goes hard and tries to win and wants to win everything. I think he's an evil genius in that way. Even though our games don't match, that's the one I admired growing up."
He has studied the taller point guards – Shaun Livington and Penny Hardway, mostly.
"It's all about using the gifts that I have. I'm going to be quick enough to stay in front of some and the ones that are quicker than me it's about using my length and contesting shots and making it hard on them. When they have to guard me, it's going to be about if I can't outquick them, use my size. It's a chess game. Nobody's going to be able to do every single thing better than everybody. Not even LeBron does everything better than everybody else. It's all about using your advantages."
He's in Orlando even though he isn't yet able to play, hoping to learn by osmosis and ease his acclimation period whenever medical clearance is given. After a few blue days upon first being injured, Dinwiddie marshaled his energy into rehabilitation with an eye toward being ready for the start of his first NBA training camp.
Stan Van Gundy has all but ruled that out, stating last week he had no expectations for Dinwiddie to contribute in 2014-15 and instructing Dinwiddie to pass on questions about his timetable for a return.
"I can't talk timetables and I don't think I can talk percentages," he grinned. "But if you go back and look at my Instagram and Twitter, I think you'll know when I want to play."
The cautious approach the Pistons are taking, however, isn't lost on Dinwiddie for what it says about their confidence in his long-term future.
"For them to have faith in me and treat me as an investment and want me to be cautious and take my time, that's showing a lot of love, so I appreciate that. At the same time, I'm a competitor. Of course I want to play, but it's on me to listen to the coaching staff and the trainer to tell me what's best."
Once Dinwiddie decided to enter the 2014 draft, regardless of the injury, he sought the best rehab specialist he could find. That led him to Houston-based Russell Payne, credited for getting Adrian Peterson back to start the 2013 NFL season despite a more serious knee injury suffered in December 2012.
"If Peterson's Secretariat," Dinwiddie said Payne told him, "you're Seabiscuit."
Arnie Kander, who'll oversee the last phase of Dinwiddie's rehabilitation, told Dinwiddie he has a "biological" knee – ideal anatomical alignment and optimal healing capacity. He's studied Dinwiddie's stride pattern and became further convinced Dinwiddie's recovery, once the rehab process plays out, will be complete.
"He also explained how he felt I could get more explosive because I have a little bit of a back bend he can clean up and some tightness in my hip flexors and some really normal stuff – tightness in my calves – and things that can make me more explosive. That was great hearing that. He had no qualms about my knee – thought it was going to be great and I was going to be better than I was and more explosive, which was pretty much the only knock I had. That was really inspiring. I'm really excited to continue working with him."
Dinwiddie, quick to smile and an engaging conversationalist, has quickly hit it off with the Summer League Pistons at practices who will be his teammates – Siva, Andre Drummond, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Tony Mitchell and Kyle Singler. He can see a logical fit for him given his size and versatility.
"There are only several of us who are big like this – you've got Michael Carter-Williams, Shaun Livingtston, I guess Tony Wroten. Only several of us who are 6-5 plus who are point guards, so I feel special in that sense. And on this roster, I've noticed (point guards) are smaller guys. But I haven't really played with any of them yet, so I don't really know any of their games. But I do think I bring something a little bit different and I'm also really excited to play with the frontcourt.
"People call Drummond the best young big guy in the league and obviously (Greg) Monroe is really skilled and Josh Smith does what he does and presents matchup problems and plays the four. I'm excited to work with these guys and KCP is a young shooting guard who hit his stride later in the season and you've got a solid player in Singler at the three and we can see where it goes.
"So I just want to compete and win."
He might have to wait to do both of those things, but the Pistons are already confident Spencer Dinwiddie will be worth their wait.

Tom Cruise takes the mic in 'Rock of Ages' trailerTom Cruise turns himself into a total rock star in the new clip for the anticipated "Rock of Ages" screen adaptation. New Line Cinema released the second trailer for the uber-popular Broadway musical-turned-film on Monday. In it, a long-haired Cruise - aka Stacee Jaxx - can be seen in full rock star swag, tattooed and at times wearing a fluffy fur, surrounded by scantily-dressed women. He's cavorting with similarly '80s-styled co-stars Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Malin Akerman, Mary J. Blige, Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta and, last but not least, a monkey named "Hey, Man." As fans of the musical would expect, the Adam Shankman-helmed vehicle is all about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, and as such, boasts a big-haired soundtrack of '80s rock anthems. Among them? Classics like Journey's "Any Way You Want It," Joan Jett's "I Love Rock and Roll," Warrant's "Heaven Isn't Too Far Away" and Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive." soundoff (106 Responses)

Lot 98: PUBLICATIONS: RENOUVELLEMENT DES TITRES - OPERATION GUTT
Auction No.57 of Antique Stocks & Bonds
by Boone Shares - The Scripophily Center
28 October 2016
Brussels, Belgium
Live AuctionDescription: 1949-1959 BRUXELLES. By law of 6 Oct. 1944, all owners of shareshad to exchange their certificates for new shares between 16 and 31 Oct. 1944. Those not exchanged, became valueless. At least, that was the general rule, but some could be exchanged in later years as well. This was part of the famous "Gutt Operation" named after the Belgian Minister of Finance Camille Gutt to counter inflation and act against financial war crimes. The lot consists of the annual publications of "Renouvellement des titres - liste récapitulative des titres belges au porteur soumis à échange ou régularisation" from1950 to 1959, as well as some extra lists. These publications give, for instance, the information as to which shares could be exchanged for which new ones, and so much more. A fascinating part of the financial history of Belgium. These publications are extremely difficult to find.

This is the latest in technology from the idea's of creating military weapons that you can not see, these are new sorts of war monitoring tricks the deception of war this is and a new era coming. Its always what you don't see you have to worry about.There was a project called The Philadelphia Experiment the theory was to make a ship literally disappear this type of technology has been around for year now, but most people do not pay attention nor read about the advancement in progress. But as for this new British invention is something that will dominate the world. Imagine if we are in a war and the people do not even see where the tank is coming from this is new and improved tank. My opinion the British Defense Researchers have out done themselves with something that is this advanced, I am not even going to think about how this is done.
In 1943 Albert Einstein worked with the military on Electro-Magnetic energy that made things disappear this type of experiments were done back in the time around 1945, People like Albert Einstein also worked on military projects for example the atomic bomb. These are inventions that we really don't need but in case we have to defend our country these weapons are important to have but I will not voice my opinion on right what we are doing with our military is a mess and I do not think it's in anyway righteous because at the cost of so many lives. Not to mention the money being put out on these bogus wars it's a little insane. But we live in insanity everyday of our lives, well maybe you might be in denial that you are but if you live in America at some point or another you will get a taste of the reality of what I am speaking of because we all get a taste of it.
Science is the new world is improving what we are doing everyday. Here I am going to provide you with a small sample of how this technology plays a trick on the human eyes, electro-magnetic devices are going to rule our new inventions we have never seen before what we are about to start seeing, meta-material is going to become the new form of science virtual experiments on making things look like it vanishes. Here is a sample of what we are looking at for the future in technology. This type of science is something that can make you wonder what else can be done in the future or more like who is really putting such creations together if you have read any of my other blogs our technology is getting far more advance then what we are aware of as people. Here is the tank that really gives you an idea of what type of future that we are going to be heading towards.

Kindred souls, indeed.Continued Terrell Owens, "It's frustrating and disheartening at the same time, especially when you have, uh, players who have played this game and there are people on the panels now that have had, you know, probably equal or less reputations as I've had as a receiver and they go on and make those remarks."Ok, then.SponsoredOther highlights:- Finding love via reality television is "still a work in progress." - Terrell Owens just finished filming a comedy with "a nice cast" (of names I didn't recognize). In it, he has his first on camera "make-out scene." Joy!!! - Terrell Owens refuses to say anything bad about his QBs in Buffalo because "this interview would be on ESPN in 30 minutes." - But "at the end of the day, I know God has a place for me."AdvertisementIf you have spare soul that you want to kill, and are fluent in Terrell Owens jibber-jabber here's a link to the podcast.

We just spent a week on weight. We wanted to bump our current program's lessons up a notch so we used these cards from Everyday Math.
Football Units Winners and Much More!
27 January 2013
Hi friends!
We just spent a week on weight. We wanted to bump our current program's lessons up a notch so we used these cards from Everyday Math.
We just spent a week on weight. We wanted to bump our current program's lessons up a notch so we used these cards from Everyday Math.
I put my kids in groups of 3 and gave them each a set of cards and a box of base tens and ones.
I told them that I wanted them to put the cards in order from the least amount of weight to the most. I also wanted them to represent the number with base tens. This way I was hitting one of our standards while we talked about weight! I also loved the problem solving it took for my kids to figure this out. I LOVE anything that involves my kids thinking. They really enjoyed this activity and plan on doing more project-type activities soon!
It is called Spider Web and I read about it HERE! Like many/all of you, I am trying to do it all. Technology/Arts/Common Core. This post has some great ideas for integrating Drama elements into your every day classroom!
So how my version of Spider Web worked:
Me: Hi! My name is Mrs. King and I can "JUMP"
roll the yarn to another student and say "Bobby- what can you do?"
Bobby: My name is Bobby and I can "SPRINT"
and so on.
We unraveled the yarn by saying:
"Hi I am Mrs. King and I am "ARTISTIC!"
Talk about problem solving- unraveling this web was a little bit of a challenge, but we did it, and I know the next time will be even better!A little bit of public speaking with a parts of speech review and voila- my kids are wide awake and ready to go!
Just in case you are wondering....February Busy Teacher is ALMOST finished!
<Do I dare say it will be posted tomorrow night???>
I wanted to thank my wonderful friends for helping me throw this giveaway! If you don't know them- a. you are missing out b. what are you waiting for????
So without further adieu, the winners of the following fantastic units:
Be looking for an email ladies!

"Murphy was an optimist!"
And we're off… August 4, 2009 8:42 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Family, Of Being DadCathy is out getting to tour all the area high schools with the respective principals. Today she has appointments to tour Karns High School and Bearden High School. We've sent the older two boys to Indiana to paint their uncle's house. The two little ones are playing while the sleeping teenage girl babysits. I need a day at my computer without distraction. Perhaps it is time to wake the teen. If you don't see another post on Reality Me, she ate me.

Waxahatchee, Superchunk
Reuniting in 2010 after a nine-year layoff, these Chapel Hill, N.C., indie stalwarts picked up where they left off, spinning smart, crunchy pop-punk every bit as compelling as their seminal Nineties work. That's the case with the current I Hate Music, whose infectious mix of joy and anxiety encapsulates everything there is to love about Superchunk. Although founding bassist Laura Ballance sits out the current tour, live sets find the band sounding inspired and energized. – Scott Schinder

PeetaPlanet™ is a travel series for the social media generation.
The series airs on Dubai One and Youtube. Two brothers from the United Arab Emirates go on a worldwide, social media influenced, journey of cultural interaction. They seek out inspirational community heroes and their stories. They interact with their audiences through different social media channels asking them to give them ideas on where to go, what to eat, who to meet etc. This is #SocialTravel.
In season 1, we joined PeetaPlanet™ as they visited Dublin, Ireland. It was quite the adventure and much of it was led by locals and locally sourced food. It demonstrated the pride Irish people feel for their homeland – local foods, fashion, music and design. Watch the episode now and use the hashtag #PPDublin on Twitter to join the conversation!
