Witt Stars in No. 8 Baseball's Ninth-Inning Win
Feb. 24, 2013
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Lucas Witt smacked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to break open a tie game, leading No. 8 Kentucky to an 8-2 win at Coastal Carolina, on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon during the final day of the Caravelle Resort Invitational at Pelicans Park.
A native of Lexington, Ky., Witt starred for the Wildcats in a close contest with the Chanticleers, driving in the game-winning runs in the ninth inning and making a pair of jaw-dropping gems in leftfield, including a fully-extended grab of a line drive going to his left and a tumble-over-the-fence catch in foul ground down the line.
"Lucas was really good, really good," UK head coach Gary Henderson said. "(I am) Happy for Lucas, a great day for Lucas Witt. Big-time catch in foul territory there late, the diving catch in left-center and then coming up with the bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth. Good day for Lucas."
"They are out there battling for us on the mound," Witt said about trying to make defensive plays for his pitching staff. "We want to make sure that they know that no matter where the ball is hit, whether it be on the ground or in the air, that we are going to come down with it. I just try to go out there and make as many plays as I can. They are doing the same thing for us on the mound."
UK and Coastal Carolina were locked in a pitching duel heading into the ninth inning, after the two teams traded single runs in the third and fifth innings. The Wildcats mounted the game-winning rally in the ninth, breaking through on soft-tossing, submarine righty Ryan Connolly, who had worked 3.2 shutout innings with only one baserunner surrendered in relief.
Matt Reida started the rally with a single through the right side and Micheal Thomas got plunked by a pitch when trying to square to bunt. That ended Connolly's outing, with CCU calling on lefty Austin Kerr to face UK left-handed hitting centerfielder Austin Cousino. Cousino ripped a single into the hole on the left side to load the bases for Witt, with the Chants countering with their right-handed closer, Seth Lamando. Witt, a Lexington Christian Academy product, drilled a two-strike double down the leftfield line to empty the bases, with UK adding a pair of extra runs on a Paul McConkey single for the final margin.
"I just wanted to do something to help the team win," Witt said about his at-bat in the ninth. "I hadn't been great at the plate this weekend. I was trying to stay confident and stay true to my plan. Luckily I got a pitch; I recognized the curveball and drove it. It felt good because I had been struggling a little bit but I just tried to stay confident and continue to believe in myself."
Eight of nine UK position starters collected hits in the game, with Witt pacing the club with his three RBI on a 1-for-5 game. J.T. Riddle added UK's only multiple-hit game to extend his hitting streak to nine games. Riddle and Cousino each scored a team-best two runs. Reida, Thomas, McConkey, A.J. Reed and Thomas Bernal all added hits for the Wildcats.
"Offensively we struggled at the beginning of the game but we tried to stay the course, continued to believe in ourselves and had confidence," Witt said. "We are tough. We always believe we are going to win, no matter what inning. We just continue to play together, play as one and we think good things are going to happen."
Kentucky (5-1) starter Corey Littrell worked his first quality start of the year, tossing 6.1 innings, allowing four hits and two runs, walking five and striking out four.
"I liked the fact that Corey Littrell kept fighting even though he wasn't very efficient," Henderson said. "He kind of battled against himself early on and when it got tight he kept his poise, made the pitches when he needed to. Some really impressive pitching to get out of the jams by Corey. It was a tough game. He found his secondary stuff after the fourth inning. The sixth inning was his best inning. Really happy that Corey improved on last weekend and he is going to keep getting better."
Senior Walter Wijas took over in relief of Littrell the seventh, getting two outs to get out of a jam, working one shutout inning and striking out one. Junior Trevor Gott (2-0) picked up the win with 1.2 stellar innings, allowing a single and striking out two. Gott came on in the eighth inning with two runners on and one out and after loading the bases with a seeing-eye single with one out to create a pressure-laden situation, got a strikeout and a pop-out to get out of the jam before closing the door in the ninth.
Coastal Carolina (3-2) starter Ben Smith worked 4.1 innings, allowing five hits and two runs – one earned – walking two and striking out three. Connolly (0-1) then came on with a drastic change of pace, with his soft-tossing strategy producing soft contact. Connolly, a preseason All-America selection who had a 2.10 ERA in 2012, worked 3.2 innings, allowing one hit and two runs, striking out three. Kerr and Lamando worked the ninth, with Kerr allowing Cousino to score and Lamando giving up three runs on three hits with a pair of strikeouts.
"One of the things that helped was getting into their pen," Henderson said about the ninth-inning rally. "The kid throwing from down under was tough. He was good. He was competitive. Being able to see a different pitcher helped us. The quality of our at-bats was outstanding. There were a lot of really good at-bats in the ninth inning."
After spending a miniscule amount of time in Lexington since leaving for South Carolina last week, the Wildcats have been on the road for 11 of the last 12 days. UK returns to action on Tuesday with its 2013 home opener, hosting Murray State at 4 p.m. ET at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
The Wildcats got on the board in the top of the third inning, getting three hits and a walk to plate the first run of the game. Thomas led off with a two-strike single to right-centerfield, moving to second on Cousino's eight-pitch walk. After a popped-up bunt attempt, Reed singled through the left side, with Thomas thrown out at the plate. Kuhn then smacked a single into leftfield to score Cousino and give UK a 1-0 lead.
Coastal immediately tied the game with a two-out solo homer in the bottom of the third inning, as Ted Blackman pounded a Littrell offering into the leftfield stands.
In the fifth inning, UK took a 2-1 lead as Witt led off with a grounder up the middle, his speed forcing an error by the CCU shortstop. After Witt stole second base, Reed flied out to deep left field – just missing his second homer – with Witt motoring to third base with one out. With Kuhn at the dish, Witt hustled home on a wild pitch that just got away from the plate, beating the throw with a head-first slide.
The Chants tied the game in the fifth inning, as Blackman drew a one-out walk. Littrell then picked off Blackman but was called for a balk, promoting an extended argument from Reida, Littrell and UK head coach Gary Henderson. Blackman then took third on a wild pitch and after Littrell struck out Buccilli for the second out, Colin Hering singled through the right side to score Blackman.
UK's game-winning rally in the ninth started with a single from Reida, and then Thomas was hit by a pitch. After Cousino loaded the bases, Witt doubled down the line to clear the bags. Reed then reached with a hard-hit ball to the right side that went as an error before Riddle scored Wit with an RBI single. McConkey drove in Riddle and pinch runner Kyle Barrett with a single through the right side for the final margin.
GAME NOTES: Junior J.T. Riddle made his team-leading 72nd consecutive start … Thomas Bernal was hit by his first pitch of the year, his fourth career HBP… Micheal Thomas was plunked by a pitch for the second time in 2013 during the fourth inning… Lucas Witt stole his second base of the year … Riddle extended his hitting streak to a club-high nine games … Riddle stole his second base of the year and Max Kuhn swiped his first career base … Thomas was hit by his third pitch of the year in the ninth … UK still trails the all-time series with CCU 3-4, but has won two consecutive meetings.

"You can make architecture out of the complications of whatever job you're given," says Richard Fernau, FAIA. "You don't have to generate them. Life is complicated enough." No doubt it's that philosophy that makes Fernau & Hartman's buildings seem joyful and effortless. They're environmentally and socially considerate, balancing the local "street language" of architecture with an inventiveness that seeks to do justice to what's best in a site.
Perhaps that's also why Fernau and partner Laura Hartman, AIA, often are asked to design houses in impossibly picturesque settings—vast ranches, open meadows, wooded canyons, coastal outcrops. Their improvisational vision, which adapts to the world as they find it, is both playful and pragmatic. Rugged, basic materials like metal and wood siding reflect vernacular building traditions, soft color palettes enhance nature's hues, and towers and sleeping porches infuse everyday life with a sense of adventure.
Fernau, a professor of architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, says the graduate course he teaches in computer algorithms is foreign to the firm's work. "Prefab and computer-generated notions of building is a laudable goal, but it's not the one we've chosen to develop. I think there will always be a place for architects whose specialty is making a building that grows out of its site—what I call circumstantial architecture, though it's becoming somewhat of an oddity. It's fascinating when you see the richness and complexity in a situation, and almost the impossibility of doing anything, and then find there is a way."
What is the most gratifying aspect of residential practice?
When we can make something that was a real head-scratcher fit just perfectly into its context.
What is the most frustrating aspect?
When agencies, contractors, clients, and even colleagues aren't able to shake fixed ways of doing things.
What is your mission statement or firm goal?
To build a sustainable house in every climate zone in the country.
What is the most indispensable tool in your office?
The ear. Listening—to clients, to review boards—is really critical in architecture. You take all that in, and then start to figure out how to solve the puzzle.
What software does your firm use?
Vectorworks, SketchUp.
Who is your ideal client?
Someone who is a collaborator and improviser, preferably with a sense of humor to get you through the hard times.
What is your favorite building?
R.M. Schindler's Kings Road House.
If you didn't have time to design your own house, who would you hire?
Bernard Maybeck, if he were still alive, or Peter Zumthor.

One person killed in small plane crash near Toledo
(Bryan, Ohio)--The State Highway Patrol says a Michigan man was killed and a second injured when the small plane they were flying crashed at a northwest Ohio airport after veering to avoid another aircraft.
The Ohio Patrol says the crash occurred about 8:30 Saturday mornign at Bryan aero park near Bryan, about 55 miles west of Toledo.
Troopers says pilot Leslie Dean, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, died Saturday afternoon at a Toledo Hospital.
The condition of his passenger, 51 year old Kent Hyne, also of Ann Arbor, wasn't known.
The Patrol says Dean was trying to land the 2010 model, self-assembled single engine aircraft on a grass runway, when another aircraft attempted to land from the opposite direction.
Troopers say Dean's plane lost power and crashed in a field north of the runway.

UPDATE: Answering Our Customers' Questions about Cisco Connect Cloud
Since my last blog post, we've continued to receive questions about the service, privacy, and in particular the service terms of Cisco Connect Cloud. We believe lack of clarity in our own terms of service has contributed to many of our customers' concerns, and we apologize for the confusion and inconvenience this has caused. We take responsibility for that lack of clarity, and we are taking steps to make this right.
I would like to address the top issues we've heard about the service, and terms of service, and clarify Cisco's commitment to our customers' privacy and security.
Linksys customers are not required to sign-up for the Cisco Connect Cloud service and they are able to opt-out of signing up for an account
Cisco Connect Cloud is an optional service that brings additional features to a home network. It is not required to set-up and manage Cisco Linksys EA Series routers. In response to our customers' concerns, we have simplified the process for opting-out of the Cisco Connect Cloud service and have changed the default setting back to traditional router set-up and management.
Customers can set-up and manage their Linksys router without signing up for a Cisco Connect Cloud account
If a customer chooses not to set up a Cisco Connect Cloud account, they can manage their router with the current local management software. We are committed to providing both Cloud-enabled and local management software. Customers who have already signed up for a Cisco Connect Cloud account may stay with the service and enjoy the expanded features, or can revert back to the local management software by calling the Linksys customer support line at 1-800-326-7114 or by following this link to self-guide themselves though the process.
Cisco will not arbitrarily disconnect customers from the Cisco Connect Cloud service based on how they are using the Internet.
Cisco Connect Cloud and Cisco Linksys routers do not monitor or store information about how our customers are using the Internet and we do not arbitrarily disconnect customers from the Internet. The Cisco Connect Cloud service has never monitored customers' Internet usage, nor was it designed to do so, and we will clarify this in an update to the terms of service.
Cisco Linksys routers are not used to collect information about Internet usage.
Cisco's Linksys routers do not track or store any personal information regarding customers' use of the Internet.
Cisco only retains information that is necessary to sign up for and support the Cisco Connect Cloud service
If a customer signs up for the Cisco Connect Cloud service, they are asked to provide a new username, a password, and an email address, which is required to set up the account. When the customer sets up a Cisco Connect Cloud account, they are asked to provide a local administrative password for the EA Series router to associate it with a Cisco Connect Cloud account. Cisco does not store this local administrative password.
To reiterate, even when a customer signs up for a Cisco Connect Cloud account, Cisco does not track or store any personal information regarding a customer's usage of the Internet.
Cisco will not push software updates to customers' Linksys routers when the auto-update setting is turned off.
Cisco will only push software updates to a Linksys router when the auto-update option is selected. We will clarify this in an update to our documentation.
Once again, I sincerely apologize on behalf of the Cisco team for the inconvenience we have caused. Cisco is committed to the privacy and security of our customers, and I assure you we will update our terms of service and related documentation as quickly as possible to accurately reflect our company policy and values.
UPDATE July 6, 2012 10:15am: Corrected Cisco Connect Cloud Terms of Service, End User License Agreement and Privacy Supplement are now available.

Could someone edit my narrative essay? "Narrative" meaning it's actually kind of interesting…?
Question by mysfiction: Could someone edit my narrative essay? "Narrative" meaning it's actually kind of interesting…?
"Love, like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to it's roots, keeping itself alive." When I read this quote for the first time I thought of my boyfriend, Neale. I thought of the challenges we will face and realized that love is often unexpected, unpredictable, and a lot of work.
I decided I wouldn't fall in love that summer. I was tired of searching for a good guy and finding nothing. I would date around, flirt, and have fun but no relationships. Then the unexpected happened. I met a guy that was worth it. He was my stepsister's friend, two years older than me, a graduating senior. "You don't have a chance," that's what I thought at first, so I didn't even try to gain his attention. Then one night he commented a few pictures on my homepage and that was that. A movie date or two and we were inseparable. Love is so easy when it's new. Nothing can stop you, not distance nor age nor disapproving parents. For a few weeks he was everything I wanted and needed. Perfection personified. I didn't love him yet, but it was in the works. The feeling of newfound happiness, that's the rain that drenched us. But love is not always so easy.
Like the quote says, "the angry heat of life" can change love. After being together for two weeks I was back home in Vegas and he was still in Louisiana, awaiting the beginning of his military career. He broke up with me. He called me one day and said, "I miss you too much, the distance is just too much. You understand right?" I didn't. I didn't understand at all. If he missed me that much, why would he end it? But what was I going to do? "I understand," I whispered as I tried not to let him hear me cry, " goodbye Neale." Life presents us with challenges. Death, money, time, rules, society, family, and distance; these are the most common challenges I've seen. There are so many obstacles to get around. Sometimes we make it through without a hitch. Sometimes we don't make it through at all and that part of our life is just left on a shelf and never picked up again. Most of the time we stumble through and never really know if we've made it or not. I questioned it for a whole month, "were we supposed to be together or is it best that we broke up?"
Mid-July I got my answer. All it took was a simple song to reconnect us. His profile song was sad, and even though he hurt me, I hated to know he might feel that way. So I left him a comment, "I don't know what's going on and I'm not asking to, but your song makes me sad, so whatever it is, I hope you feel better soon." And just like that he was back in my life, I missed him more than ever. I was flying back to my dad's in two weeks, I'd be there for a whole month, get to say goodbye when he left for basic training. One week before I left we got back together officially. He called me "my baby" and I asked him, "am I yours?" "Yeah. Yeah you are," he said. Once again, we were standing in the rain together, in that soaking joy. That month passed incredibly fast. We went to the movies, snuck kisses when parents weren't around, played video games until he had to leave. Halo had never been more fun than it was when I was playing against him. He sang and played the song "Home" on his guitar.
One night we looked at the stars together but most nights we just hung out with my step siblings and cousins. I could list so many memories. Simple ones, not monumental at all, but so very important to me. We were close friends, yet so much more.
Before long it was the last time we'd see each other and he was leaving for basic the next day. Life was giving us another challenge. But this time it was even worse, not only was there distance, but there was also a loss of communication. Almost 4 weeks passed before he was able to send me his address and even then, letters could never replace his voice. The difference between the last time I flew home and this one is that we made it through. Basic training is over as of October 8th and while our love may have "dried on the surface" it's still "tending to it's roots" very nicely.
The rest of the world may not see us holding hands between classes, my family might not see him at every family gathering, and some people don't even know we're in love with each other. But just because the signs aren't there on the surface, doesn't mean that there isn't something growing below it.
My experiences, as limited as they may be, have taught me that while newfound love is a wonderful thing, sometimes the person you fall for, just isn't ready to catch you. When they don't catch you, and you're left sitting on the floor, confused about what happened, they always have the ability to walk back and help you up. And simply holding on to the one you love isn't enough; you have to be able to hold yourself up. Like the weather, love is unpredictable. Even the most seasoned meteorologist gets a surprise every now and then.

Well it looks like you proofread it before because I didn't see any grammatical or spelling errors. I would change a thing. Your imagery is very vivid. and your feelings for Neale are personified expertly. Phenomenal work. P.S. this was really long for a yahoo! answers question. I hope I'm not the only one to answer.

Looking for the name of an old gentleman that used to host his own cooking show.

"Sugar Jesus" – The Band That's "Breaking into You!" [Interview] [Free Download]
- September 4th, 2010
- By Jeremy Hindle
- Write comment
Sugar Jesus? Perhaps the next big thing according to several outstanding reviews. It is quite amazing that a band with comments such as "Indie Disco Kings" and "The forerunners of Synth Pop's thriving underground!" from reputable names such as TimeOut and ArtRocker aren't already causing mass audio induced euphoria during the daily commute. They are my dirty little secret that I and their loyal listeners can turn to in times when we just need to escape for a wonderful 3:30s (approx).
Ahem, in all seriousness and music review jargon aside, Sugar Jesus really could be one of the next big things to take up residence in that place which brings "silent" humming and foot tapping to our lives. Sugar Jesus has a good blend of "mainstream factors" which apply the easy listening required for instantly likeable music, whilst maintaining a feeling that I can only describe as an unique. You really have to listen to it to understand, but if you do in the future, or perhaps you already have, you will definitely understand the emotion that I am doing my utmost best to describe. They are a band which definitely have something at their heart, and that something…is Damn Good! Read more

Who can resist New Orleans? Gumbo and oyster po' boys, jazz and funky blues, the French Quarter and the Garden District. Eyes light up, mouths water, toes tap. I'm obsessed with New Orleans—explaining its uniqueness to myself and to visitors. My need to understand the city is perhaps inescapable. When I was 15, my mother bought Chris Steak House with its small but loyal clientele. I bussed its 17 tables and learned how to butcher heavy short loins. Before long, Mom added her name, and the famous Ruth's Chris Steak House chain of restaurants was born. Meanwhile, my father was making a name for himself too, running for mayor on a platform of bringing a gorilla to the New Orleans zoo. He got only 310 votes but kept his campaign promise by going to Singapore and buying two baby gorillas he named Red Beans and Rice. As the son of the Empress of Steak and the Gorilla Man, how could I not become a New Orleans obsessive?
From This Story

I take friends on what I call the "Fertel Funky Tour," meandering through sites the tour buses mostly miss. Once, some Parisian guests politely asked, "What ees thees 'fun-kee'?" I explained that "funky" means smelly. Buddy Bolden, arguably the first jazzman of them all, played at the Funky Butt, a music hall named for his song that begs us to "open up that window and let that bad air out." But funky also has come to mean the music played by groups such as the Funky Meters. Full of soul, it's the kind of music you gotta dance to—unless there's something wrong with you.
New Orleans is a Southern anomaly: in the South but not of the South, more Catholic (or pagan) than Baptist, as much Caribbean (or Mediterranean) as American. Almost everything here bears explanation, even how we orient ourselves. Because of the curve in the Mississippi River that makes us the Crescent City, we look to its West Bank for the sunrise. North Rampart is east of South Rampart. Since standard directionals are unreliable, we use our own: Lake Pontchartrain is on one side of the city; the Mississippi River on the other. Riverside and lakeside, Uptown and Downtown, as the river flows: those make up our compass rose.
In our checkerboard of neighborhoods, accents tell a tale Professor Higgins might appreciate. The frequently satirized Yat dialect—from "Where you at?" meaning "How are you?"—was influenced by Irish immigrants and sounds more Brooklyn than Southern. But just lakeside of Magazine Street, the Uptown gentry never say Yat, except in jest, and never say "New Orlins." They say "New Awe-yuns."
Gentry. Yes, we do share the South's love of bloodlines. For almost a century, colonial New Orleans was stratified by parentage, a society of exclusion shaped by the aristocratic traditions of France and Spain. Canal Street—said to be the widest street in America—separated the mutual animosities of the French Quarter and the American Sector. New Orleans medians are still called "neutral grounds" after the Canal Street no man's land that separated their rival domains.
That impulse to exclude didn't stop with the French. The Pickwick Club is a social club whose Anglo-American membership has, since the mid-19th century, manned the old-line Mardi Gras krewes—the groups that create the parade costumes and floats. In 1874, Pickwickians led a volunteer militia to the Battle of Liberty Place that overwhelmed the metropolitan police and struck the blow that led to Reconstruction's end and to Jim Crow's birth. In 1936, my great-grandfather Sam, a pawnbroker known widely as Money-Bags Fertel, wanted to play pinochle at the Pickwick, whose clubhouse on Canal he owned. Denied membership as a Jew, he refused the Pickwick a new lease. In 1991, some krewes, challenged by the city council to admit blacks and Jews, chose to withdraw from public parading.
Our city is bedeviled by such ingrained hierarchies. In 2010, the Times-Picayune noted that an old-line krewe had chosen a "relative newcomer" as Rex, King of Carnival. The newbie was in fact an Uptown pillar of the community who had lived here for 37 years.
Nor is prejudice the province of whites alone. The black Creoles of New Orleans, many descended from the colonial aristocracy and their slaves or the free women of color they took as concubines, embraced some of the same biases. Not that long ago, black Creole clubs like the Autocrat tendered a "paper bag test"—anyone darker than a paper bag was turned away.
Yet New Orleans slaves, under the French and Spanish colonial law, fared better than those in English colonies. Allowed to congregate on Sundays, they held market, danced to native drums and sang their call-and-response chants. Congo Square, in the heart of Tremé, the Downtown neighborhood across from the French Quarter, was the center of their social and spiritual world. Now called Louis Armstrong Park, Congo Square is the ur-birthplace of jazz and a key stop on my Funky Tour.
My worst fear is that, unguided, visitors will seek out the "true" New Orleans on Bourbon Street: drunken frat boys, bad music and T-shirt shops. After Congo Square, the lower French Quarter is where I take my guests—quiet, residential eye candy wherever you look. On lower Chartres Street, the Ursuline Convent dates from 1752, the oldest surviving French colonial building as well as the oldest structure in the Mississippi River Valley. Nearby, wrought- and cast-iron railings line the balconies—we call them galleries—adding shade to sidewalks and outdoor space to second and third floors. The vernacular architecture of the French Quarter is in fact largely Spanish. When Spain controlled the city (1763 to 1800), two fires swept away the typical French colonial plantation-like homes.

I am SUPER excited that after a RIDICULOUSLY long time, we are able to finally offer up TDH shirts featuring our current logo. While it sounds absurd, since we changed out logo, quite a few years back, we have never offered shirts that featured the logo prominently!
That has now changed.
Even better, in the past, we have always done runs of shirts and if you missed out on a run you were simply out of luck. Now you can order a shirt any time you like and when you wear it out (from representing so much), you can simply order another! Best of all, we are able to offer this shirt at about 15% less than any previous shirt we have sold!
Our logo was created by TDH members, Gino and RichD. Gino has also created a matching stylized jetpack to go on the back of this shirt to complete the look!
Both men's and women's shirts are available. As usual, Monkey in a Dryer is handling our printing.

The University of Colorado at Boulder Campus Staff Council is sponsoring a drive to benefit victims of the recent flooding in Fort Collins.
Donations of non-perishable food, baby items, personal hygiene items and cleaning supplies are needed, according to the American Red Cross.
Collection boxes have been set up in most buildings on the main campus as well as some on the East Campus. Donations also may be given to Staff Council representatives.
The collection will continue through Wednesday, Aug. 13. Volunteers will pick up the items on Thursday and deliver them to Fort Collins on Friday.
There is a lot of interest, said Mary Lowe of the Graduate School. After only a few days of collections, I already had to empty the box in my office. I can only imagine what my office is going to look like by Wednesday.
The American Red Cross also welcomes cash donations at the following address: American Red Cross, Attn: Fort Collins Relief, 444 Sherman St., Denver, CO 80203.

Huge congratulations to Megan Rees from Oxford who entered the competition hoping to change the life of her three year old daughter Ariella.
Ariella has severe disabilities, she was given a 10% chance of survival at birth and has beaten the odds. Her parents have had to give up work to provide round the clock care for her as her needs are so complex.
Ariella currently has nowhere safe to play outside and can't even go to the park as it is too risky for her.
We are very excited to begin the transformation and give Ariella beautiful garden to play in. Watch this space!

Big thanks to Sphere, my UK publisher, who've been so wonderful to work with.

I couldn't have timed my trip to Malaysia any better. When I arrived in Kuala Lumpur, it was just the first week of the Ramadhan month, when Muslims fast and refrain from eating, drinking, and most other "pleasures" including sexual intimacy with their partners during daylight hours - instead focusing that time to offer up more prayer than usual. Basically it is their time for reflection, purity and worship.
How does this relate to a non-Muslim foodie like myself aka why is this so exciting? Well, to sum it up in two Malay words - BUKA PUASA aka breaking of the fast. In case you weren't aware, the Muslims fast during the day but they have so much to look forward to once the sun goes down, especially when it comes to the FEAST waiting for them. Every year during Ramadhan months, the Ramadhan markets open up on the streets and stalls selling traditional Malay food and cakes just pop up everywhere! It is literally a food festival every single afternoon for a month - and we non-Muslims get to enjoy it as much as the Muslims (only we didn't have to fast during the day). But imagine how excited we get and we didn't even have to fast.. the Muslims after a whole day of not eating and drinking, rejoice at the time of the breaking of their fast as their hungry tummies finally get filled with lots of glorious food.
So I suppose it's not surprising that by the time I arrived at the Checkers Restaurant @ Dorsett Regency KL Hotel Kuala Lumpur for the Ramadhan Buffet... most of the food were already swept up by all those hungry people, lol. Only a few sticks of satay were left, and the chefs look frantically busy trying to keep up (the satays were freshly grilled on the spot).
The "make your own" noodle station was reasonably quiet because *gasp* we actually have to wait for our meals to be cooked? Nahh... next!
|"Ayam Goreng" aka Fried Chicken
|A variety of deep fried food
Of course no Ramadhan Buffet was going to be complete without a healthy dose of deep fried goodness. Unfortunately, the Fried Chicken has been left there for way too long so it was cold and the chicken was dry. The variety of deep fried food didn't really tickle my fancy either as the only thing I was looking forward to was "Sotong Goreng" aka Deep Fried Squid / Calamari and they didn't have any!
They had "Lemang" aka sticky glutinous rice cooked and wrapped in banana leaves which was great and a curry to go with it. But the curry didn't look very appetizing so I went for the peanut sauce instead. The peanut sauce is as always delicious, thankfully!
|Ikan Bakar aka Grilled Fish
There were some basic "condiments" aka "ulam ulam" which are basic foods to go with rice - very traditional I thought. These condiments were basically food that families on a budget would normally have at home on a daily basis. In a way, it was good that a lot of the dishes at the buffet were fairly traditional. But I was really quite disappointed that they didn't have a "Nasi Lemak" station or even a good Beef Rendang! They had some other types of rendang aka some traditional chilli squids and some other traditional type of curries... but where was the more "commercial" dishes eg Ayam Masak Merah? I wanted Ayam Masak Merah!! Sigghhh...
The buffet had a decent selection of fresh seafood but being pregnant I couldn't have any. My parents enjoyed themselves though, especially the prawns and oysters :)
There was also a "Rojak" station where you make your own rojak - but at this point who wants to eat rojak when you can fill up on other cooked food?
A decent selection of pasta salads, and salads in general - but again, being pregnant and very wary of how long the salad has been sitting there on the table and whether or not the green leaves have been thoroughly washed - I practiced a bit of caution and skipped most of the cold dishes.
Unfortunately the Roast Lamb Leg did not appeal to me at all. As they cut into the meat, I could clearly see that it was too dry. What a shame...
Thankfully all was redeemed by the Steamed Chicken and the Roasted Duck. I had the steamed chicken and went back for more. I think I am a little bit addicted to steamed chicken, especially when it is cooked perfectly and the meat is so soft it melts in your mouth. I was very happy with at least one meat section of the buffet!
|Note the "Green Ang Ku Kueh" bottom right - it was DELICIOUS!!
|Choose your own ice-cream and toppings
|"Kuih Muih" aka Malay-styled Traditional Cakes
|The chocolate fountain was nice to have.. but where was the scoop?? The fresh strawberries to dip them in with? The lollies or marshmallows? A bit of a failed attempt...
There was also some entertainment for the night by not just anyone, but pretty well known Malaysian celebrities. They sang popular Malay songs and even had some giveaways - which created a fairly "noisy" atmosphere at the buffet but that seems to be part of the fun. In fact, the whole buffet dinner just seemed very busy with people rushing to get food and the noise and the singing and the loud microphones and everything... most people seem to enjoy it, but I was really not in the right frame of mind or mood to be surrounded by all of that. Still a bit jetlagged and tired from shopping all day, I think my parents enjoyed the singing but I didn't know any of the songs so I couldn't really sit there and enjoy the songs. We also couldn't really talk to each other because the music was really loud!
So unfortunately despite my initial excitement for the Ramadhan Buffet aka Buka Puasa experience, it was a bit of a let down because I didn't get to have freshly cooked Fried Chicken, I didn't have enough satay, there was no all-you-can-eat Nasi Lemak, not even Coconut Rice! No beef rendang, no Ayam Masak Merah, and the atmosphere was a bit too noisy and messy and busy for my liking.
I think walking down the Ramadhan markets and buying street food would've been much more enjoyable. Oh well, the good thing about a buffet is that at least I can identify a few dishes that were really good and just eat lots of it aka the steamed chicken, lemang, peanut sauce, duck.
Oh, and I guess I'd go for more of that Green Ang Ku Kueh :)
Oh, and I guess I'd go for more of that Green Ang Ku Kueh :)

House District 61 candidate Q&A: Millie Hamner
October 23, 2012
I have been working on behalf of improvements in public education for most of my career – first as a teacher and then as the superintendent of Summit schools. As your current Democratic state representative, I have kept my focus on education, but expanded it to help create Western Slope jobs and improve the health of our forests, strengthen anti-stalking laws to keep our residents safe and help ease congestion on I-70. I have a proven record of working across the aisle with Republican legislators on common sense solutions to create jobs, invest in our classrooms, fight the bark beetle epidemic, and make sure that our kids are prepared to compete for the jobs of the future.
Being the current state representative, I have completed two successful years of service in working in a bipartisan, common sense way to find real solutions for the issues facing Western Slope families. Before being chosen to represent our unique mountain communities, I was the superintendent of Summit schools, and before that, I spent my life teaching our kids and studying ways to improve the education system in our state. I earned a Ph.D. from the University of Denver in education, so I apply an advanced understanding of teaching methods and what really works in the classroom to prepare our kids for the workforce and to pursue higher education. Our mountain communities need a representative who understands our unique challenges and who has a record of working with both parties to get things done, and I believe that my record in the legislature illustrates just that.
The main issues I hear from my constituents about are jobs, the bark beetle epidemic and congestion on I-70. I believe that the solution to all three of these problems is to invest in infrastructure and healthy forests which will create construction and forest-restoration jobs in Summit County. The more we can invest in easing I-70 congestion and clearing out the dead wood in our beautiful forests, the more jobs we can create for Western Slope residents.
I already have. Every bill I passed in my career has had bipartisan support. My most proud legislative accomplishments, the Forest Health Act and the Third Grade Literacy Act both had Republican co-sponsors as well. I don't believe that Washington D.C.-style politics have to play out in Denver, and I've fought hard to forge strong relationships with members of both parties in order to find real solutions for jobs, education and forest restoration.
Investment in infrastructure and healthy forests will create jobs in Summit County. We should also enhance our biomass-fuel program which will have the triplicate effect of creating jobs, making our forests healthier and cleaning up our air with innovative energy production. Further, we need to ensure that we are developing our natural resources in a responsible way, working collaboratively with the environmental community as well as energy companies to find a balanced approach which will lead to domestic energy independence, good-paying jobs and a thriving business and natural environment.

The Canisius College softball team dropped a pair of games to Miami (Ohio) and Western Kentucky on the first day of the Holiday Inn Hilltopper Spring Fling Tournament, hosted by Western Kentucky. The Golden Griffins lost to Miami (Ohio) 5-0 in the first game before falling to the host Hilltoppers 8-1 in the nightcap. Canisius is now 2-4 on the year.
Against Miami (Ohio), the RedHawks (3-2) scored two runs in the bottom half of the fourth and then posted three insurance runs in the sixth. That was more than enough support for Miami starter Paige Myers, who earned her third win of the season in the circle for the RedHawks after she went the distance and allowed three hits while striking out six. Canisius senior Jen Consaul took the loss for the Blue and Gold after she allowed five runs, three earned, on six hits to go with three walks and two strikeouts.
Junior Robin Kennery had one of Canisius' three hits in the loss to Miami, and that came in the form of a double with out one in the fourth. Sophomore Tori Nappo and freshman Jessica Berzins also had base hits for the Griffs in the loss.
In the second game, Canisius posted a quick 1-0 lead in the top half of the first thanks to an RBI-single by freshman Lindsey Silfer. With two outs in the top of the first, Kennery ripped her first triple of the 2014 season to center, and she scored moments later when Silfer lined a ball to the gap in right center. That was the last run Canisius would score however, as the Hilltoppers scored multiple runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth to earn an 8-1 victory.
Canisius had eight hits in the loss to Western Kentucky and the Griffs ended up leaving seven runners on base. Berzins had a pair of hits in the loss, as did sophomore Alexis Roman. Western Kentucky starter Emily Rousseau eaned the win in the circle for the Hilltoppers, while Canisius freshman Sarah Andrews took the loss. Andrews allowed eight runs, five earned, on 11 hits while striking out three and walking three.
Canisius will return to action Saturday with a pair of games on the second day of the five-team event in Blowing Green, Ky. The Griffs will play Belmont at 3 p.m., before taking on Bradley at 5 p.m.

Doc here,
The main problem with running the output wire to the battery, is that is is then subject to a more possible failures then it would be at the starter..
You run the risk of corrosion, and corrosion traveling up the wire (until it becomes unusable) Where as a Battery cable is a bolt on replacement, you now must remove and replace the wire..within the harness..It also becomes more prone to "becoming loose" as the cables are removed, cleaned , or the vehicle is worked on..Butt Splice Stub~outs are a nightmare also..
PLUS you really don't want a fuse link that close to a gassing battery..
The Starter location is one that has proved well over the years..and I advocate it..At best if it must be relocated..do so to a single terminal binding post at or near the battery, and make all your junctions there.
You'll have a better system..
Switch from 10si to 12si alternator
The original alternator on my '75 GMC pickup was a 63 amp 10si. I can switch to a newer 94 amp 12si with the same clocking, and its a direct bolt in. However, I also want to upsize the charge wire to 8 gauge with a 12 gauge fusible link.
When I run the new charge wire, should I use the original routing, which goes from the alternator down to the starter, or should I make a more direct connection to the batteery? Some of the newer trucks ('96-'99 vintage) use a charge wire directly from the bat terminal on the alternator to the battery, and do not route it down to the starter.

The Cramps were an American garage punk band formed in Sacramento, California in 1976. The band was influential in founding of a hybrid subgenre later known as "psychobilly," which is a fusion of punk and rockabilly. Their music is mostly in blues form, played at varying, (though usually fast) tempos, with a very minimal drumkit. An integral part of the early Cramps sound is dual guitars, without a bassist.

I can't give you any specific details but, with that large drive pulley/fan, it looks to be an industrial grade unit. If your dad was right about 7 HP, it would likely be in the neighborhood of 20 CFM
and would last a long time. My best guess would be that it would run at least one DA all day long.
Air Compressor Pump just sitting in the garage.
Hi everyone
My dad has had this compressor laying around in the garage and me being into painting and bodywork on cars im wanting to use it.
I just don't know much about it.
Im hoping someone here will help me in identifying this compressor.
My dad says his uncle got it from a auto-body company that went out of business and that it can take a 7.5 hp motor. Im trying to find out how much cfm and stuff it has.
Anyone know where I can go to identify a compressor.
Here are some pics.
In that pic the numbers are 0460
That one says 3 F
Then the last one says 7-92 G.
Does anyone have a rough idea of where I can go to find the specifics on this baby?
Im sorry if this is stupid to post on this forum but it never hurts to ask.

Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice on choosing and designing an ESL curriculum. I'm the DoS at a new ESL training center set to open some time this year. Currently I'm at the point where I need to design our teaching curriculum (for both General English and Business English students). As I'm sure you're aware this is a daunting and challenging task that also takes a considerable amount of time. For the same reason I'm looking into purchasing a ready-made ESL curriculum (books, ppts, handouts, etc.) and then subsequently make alterations to adapt them to my own teaching model. However, I've found it very difficult to both track down suppliers of such ready-made solutions and to find any third party reviews of their product quality.
So I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions about choosing a curriculum? Are you familiar with any ready-made solutions on the market?

Hey guys- Had a great new year..hope you all did : ). Started the 2nd blaster mod and should be finished w/ that by tomorrow. Should I not weather my armor until I recieve my ASOK lid from stnasty in order to make sure the weathering is congruent w/ his work? Just a thought.
You off to a good start!
I tend to weather everything at the same time so that it is even and similar in style. That is just my preference though.
Thanks FF- Ya, thats what I was thinking : ). Below are a few acrylics I just bought so I could oscilate a few colors to see how they look. One is a flat black, one is bark brown, and the other is metallic antique copper. Any thoughts on these although I know it should probablly be congruent w/ the bucket...it appears stnasty's previous work (which looks phenominal) has some of these shades?
Its all looking good so far ,
How ever id strongly suggest upgrading the rubbies blasters as they will infare bring the whole costume down a level
and seeing as you are going for all good other peices it wouldnt do the set up justice;
this is just my opinion
Hey Jinto- Ya, I probablly will do so. This has just been a fun little side project which has allowed me to practice weathering (although not as intensive) as well as pay attention to detail w/ respect to the blasters. Should help me whenever I purchase the resin ones : ). Thanks, as any suggestions are welcome from you all buddy. Thanks jinto!
Hey guys, here are some shots im going to use as a reference when I start the weathering process (dressing a galaxy). These along w/ the tutorials youve all sent should really allow me to create some great detail : )
Hey all- Here are the finished blasters w/ weathering. Let me know what you think?! Thanks in advance guys
One more
Looking good. If you need some good reference images don't forget to look in the gallery section. There are a ton of great images taken of the suit at different events. They may be a little more clear than the images in the Dressing a Galaxy book.
The blasters look good. Nice job on the weathering. Even though I have the MR blasters I have often thought of making some replacement tips for the rubies blasters for those that can't get the MR blasters or something else. Maybe I can talk my wife into letting me get a lathe. :)
The colors are probably fine. I don't know about the copper color. Test it on something other than your armor to see how it works with the other colors.
Thanks FF- Cool, thanks, ya im pretty happy w/ the results : )Ya, for some reason I cant access the gallery? Im going to check my settings on the pc.
Hey All- Just an update. Still waiting on the bucket in order to weather. However, something to keep you interested...I recieved my Navy/leather gloves today (sandysith recommended) and they appear spot-on... fit like a GLOVE : ) HAHAHA- How they look?
Hey guys- I have a question w/ respect to Kamino vs. Arena weathering. Obviously the arena will most likely obtain more dirt/ grime however, would the kamino garner some dirt as well? I have seen some jangos w/ just slight black on the edges (very slight) but not much, then I have seen quite a bit of dirt? What are your thoughts on this subject?
As too weathering...it is all to your personal preference. Do you want to do super movie accurate or Do you want to do realistic or Do you just want to do what looks right for you?....how about that for a non-committal answer ;)
Seriously, I would say pick which approach works for you. If you want screen accurate than study the **** out of the movies and the stills in the gallery. If you wan to go realistic figure on the "Arena Jango, AJ" will have more dust and grime, more browns but also, perhaps some rusting on the armor from being on kamino and not having time to properly clean it. If you go with what looks good to you personally, you can mix it up a bit until you like the results.
For mine I attempted a more screen accurate look but in recent weeks and due to some mistakes while painting the jet pack my weathering has gotten a bit "more" than screen accurate. I am tossing around the idea of adding some "dust" to the crevices of the gauntlets, jetpack, and knees and perhaps a bit of dusty weathering on the jump suit.
Not sure if that helped, hope it did. All in all the best solution is to pick a path as to your weathering and go with it. Regardless how you do it, it will be unique...which is what I love about weathering costumes. It really makes your costume your own.
Hey SS- Phenomial explination! That makes a ton of sense..and ive began to quite enjoy weathering thanks to your help man! I think its safe to say that even if it starts out "cannon", it ends up being your own LOL! Decisions decisions..... Thanks a ton!
When I do mine; I plan to go light on the weathering at first, then later if I decide that I want more, I can add it. It's easier to add it, than to remove it. ;)
Another great point added by DS! Thanks man : )
Ok guys- Thanks again to cruzer I recieved my back and cod armor today : ). Here are some pics after hitting it w/ 0000 steel wool. Let me know what you think of the shine.
Lookin' Nice!
MAN Cruzer does nice work! Lookin' GREAT Dynamic!!
those are sweet... waiting on my Cruzer Christmas too :)
SS- Thanks man!
Obro- Dido! Yours is coming along great man!
Smuwindu- Looking forward to yours! And, lets see those blasters : )
haven't touched them in weeks... gotta pull them out and add the tips...

Since the question keeps appearing, I thought I would pipe up.
You can legally teach English in Taiwan provided you meet two criteria:
(1) You have an Associate Degree or a two year Diploma.
(2) You have a recognized TEFL certificate (e.g. Oxford).
I have both and work here legally. I am also able to save money (about US$800/month) for completing my degree by correspondence.
There are several places one can get a TEFL certificate; I earned mine online for under US$400, and that was three years ago. If you are not working and knowledgeable about teaching, you can obtain the certificate in a few weeks; it was six weeks from regisration and payment to receiving the certificate.
Full time wages are slightly less than Korea or Japan and the income taxes are slightly higher (10%), but legal work and visa is better than illegal work with no visa. The quality of life is also about the same, and the Taiwanese smoke less.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|My daughter does that - she named my current one "Cherry" (it's red) she asked me the other day if it was a girl or a boy - girl I told her - then looked at my wife - she's like I know right where your going with that one...
|The dealership was supposed to call me yesterday to pick it up but never did. Hopefully I will hear back from them today. Everything is approved, just have to drive 30 minutes to pick it up. It is a white 4 door, fancy inside compared to my '01. I dont have power windows (I dont like them). I believe it is an 2011 SE with 22,000 miles on it :-). My old focus' name is Norman and my new one will be Junior lol. I am a girl, I name my cars :-)
Good to hear - but don't cry too much - your car will go to the auto auctions - and it will either be sold to a pick-and-pull and become a donor car to keep lots of other Focuses like it still on the road, or if it has really clean and straight sheetmetal on it, it will be bought by an individual who will do the Zetec swap on it and within a couple months it will be back on the road.
But, don't keep us waiting on the new one - what color did you get and what model?
|It is a sedan :-) Yeah I am hooked on focus!
|^^^ hatch or sedan. Glad your staying in the focus community.
|Thank you everyone with your help. I have decided to trade in my car for a 2011 Focus! I almost cried when I handed him the title to the old one. It has 22,000 miles on it and it is a certified pre-owned from ford with some warranty still left on it. I am excited yet sad at the same time to let go of my old one.
regarding last year's piston replacement: did your mechanic plane the head before he installed the new head gasket? The reason I ask is the leak in adjacent cylinders that the muffler shop found.
And speaking of the muffler shop: you might want to have an engine mechanic diagnose your issue before making a major decision like selling the vehicle.
|Thanks for your info tmittelstaedt, I think i am just going to have to get another car. It will most likely be another focus. It's the best car I have ever had (minus this problem)!
leak between 1 2 spark plugs? What is he talking about?
If you have spark leaks replace the plug wires. If he is talking about a leak between cylinders then that isn't diagnosed with a diagnostic machine that is diagnosed with a compression tester. Did he use a compression tester? If he heard a rattle in the plug hole then it sounds like he pulled the plugs to run a compression test, and if #1 & #2 cylinders failed the compression test then the engine is going to have to be torn down again. Do you know what test he ran?
Don't spend anymore on this engine. In my opinion you got some bad advice when your cylinder head died. If it died to the point that a piston had to be replaced and you had 90K+ miles on it the entire engine should have been pulled and replaced by a rebuilt engine. And if your going to do that then as another poster said your car was a prime candidate for a Zetec swap.
My advice is if you indeed are failing compression on 2 cylinders, then you need to step back and reevaluate this car. If this has an auto trans in it, then if it was my car I'd sell it. If it has the manual MTX hooked to an SPI then if it was mine I'd do a Zetec swap. But, you are a different person and you have to consider if this car meets your needs or not. These are small economy cars. Gas prices are not going down. If you don't need the room for kids or whatever in the future then if you were to drop $3-4K into a Zetec engine swap with a rebuilt Zetec you would very likely get a 50K mile warranty and be able to run the car for another decade. Even if you got a rebuilt SPI engine since the head is only a year old, you could buy a short block and someone competent to put it back together, and you would end up with a car that is worth $2.5K at least on the used market. And if you go out there and attempt to buy a used economy car you cannot touch anything that will run for more than 500 miles for very much under $2,000 because used economy cars today are white hot in the market.
|I took my car to the muffler shop today an he fixed a small tweak to the flange. He hooked it up to the diagnostics and it showed a misfire on cylender #4 and a leak between the #1 and #2 spark plugs. (my engine light never came on) Not good news at all since we replaced the cylender head once already for a blown piston in the #2 cylender. He said he could hear a small rattle in the #2 spark plug hole also! Ugh!

Create native-looking HTML5 apps using JavaScript
Sencha Touch is the leading MVC-based JavaScript framework for building cross-platform mobile web applications. Sencha Touch leverages hardware acceleration techniques to provide high-performance UI components for mobile devices.
With over 50 built-in UI components and native looking themes for all major mobile platforms, Sencha Touch provides everything you need to create impressive apps that work on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, and more. A novel and adaptive layout engine, fluid animations, and smooth scrolling features allow developers to build applications that respond to user actions nearly instantaneously, much like native technologies.
The framework includes a robust data package that can consume data from any backend data source. An advanced charting package allows you to visualize data on mobile devices. Out-of-the-box, native-looking themes for every major platform enable you to make web and hybrid applications match the look and feel of your target platforms.
Sencha Touch is available as a free download. In March 2015, Ext JS and Sencha Touch were merged into Ext JS 6.0. Visit the Ext JS product page to learn about the latest features and release.
High-Performance, Native-Looking UI Widgets
Sencha Touch provides the industry's most comprehensive collection of high-performance UI widgets such as lists, carousels, forms, menus, and toolbars, built specifically for mobile platforms. The framework comes with native-looking themes for all major mobile platforms, so you can create impressive apps that look and feel native to iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, and more.
Adaptive Layouts, Animations, and Smooth Scrolling
A novel layout engine that leverages HTML5 lets developers build applications that respond and load in a snap on mobile devices. Switching from landscape to portrait happens nearly instantaneously, and the layout engine ensures pixel perfection. The framework automatically uses the best scrolling and animations for each device, resulting in a great experience everywhere.
Backend Agnostic Data Package
The robust data package included in Sencha Touch decouples the UI widgets from the data layer. The data package allows client-side collections of data using highly functional models that offer features such as sorting and filtering. The data package is protocol agnostic, and can consume data from any backend source.
Advanced Mobile Charting Package
The charting package allows you to visually represent data with a broad range of chart types — including line, bar, and pie charts. Sencha Touch charts use HTML5 canvas in order to get a high-performance native feel. Animations and interactions in the package are based on gestures, which lets users pinch to zoom, drag to pan, and so on.
Device Features and Native Packaging
Sencha Touch applications work on every mobile browser, but access to the device features and native deployment is often essential for mobile applications. Sencha Touch is fully integrated with PhoneGap / Cordova for device APIs such as Camera and Accelerometer, and it also supports the PhoneGap build for native packaging. A PhoneGap build can be initiated from within Sencha Cmd, and the tool can package your app for multiple platforms using a single command.

Posted by Gene Cao on the Customer Insights Professionals Blog on August 24, 2012
Gene Cao, Frederic Giron, Michael Barnes
On August 10, rival IT outsourcers hiSoft and VanceInfo announced their intention to merge. The resulting entity will comprise a much bigger organization, with more than 20,000 employees mainly located in China, making it one of the largest IT services vendors in the country. In another recent example of market consolidation, BeyondSoft announced on August 18 that it would acquire six Chinese and Japanese subsidiaries of Achievo, a US-based offshore IT services provider.
Over the next 18 months, we believe that IT services vendors in China will face increasing price and margin pressure driven by rapidly increasing local labor costs. The days of relying on low labor costs to drive business in the US, Europe, and Japan are numbered. Chinese IT services vendors are being forced to evolve from a cost-based to a business value-based approach. As a result, we expect the Chinese IT services market to consolidate over the next 18 to 24 months as vendors seek ways to improve their organizational and operational maturity.
The challenges hiSoft and VanceInfo will face after the merger are indicative of broader market pressures, including:

A man charged in the 1986 slaying of a Salt Lake City woman has been ordered to stand trial.
Thomas Pennington, 46, will be arraigned Friday in 3rd District Court on a single charge of murder in connection with the death of his 20-year-old girlfriend Patricia Ramirez.
Pennington is accused of killing Ramirez and then dumping her body on a hillside in Memory Grove more than 25 years ago. Her body was found July 13, 1986.
Pennington was charged in June 2011 with strangling the 20-year-old woman.
Judge Robin Reese heard testimony against Pennington earlier this year during a preliminary hearing. After taking the matter under advisement, Reese ruled there was enough evidence to order Pennington to stand trial.
New witness testimony led to Pennington's arrest, officials said.
At the time charges were filed, Pennington was serving a prison sentence in Missouri for child molestation and failing to register as a sex offender.

Diplomatic Washington offers a peek into the international side of the capital city of the United States, and the stretch of Massachusetts Avenue from 18th Street to 35th Street, called Embassy Row, is at the heart of this aspect of the city. Stately homes from turn-of-the-century mansions to modernist marvels completed in the past decade, now utilized as chanceries and diplomat's residences, line both sides of the avenue and give a glimpse of the world in just two and a half miles of walking.
The three figures on the fountain dedicated to Admiral Samuel Francis DuPont at the center of (1) Dupont Circle represent the sea, wind, and stars. You see every walk of life here, from the bike messenger to the suited professionals to students. Follow Massachusetts Avenue heading west from the circle to (2) 2020 Massachusetts Avenue. Once the home of Irishman Thomas Walsh (who used the money he made from striking gold in Colorado to build the mansion), daughter Evalyn, the last private owner of the Hope Diamond, sold the place to Indonesia, and it now serves as their embassy.
Head west three blocks along Massachusetts to (3) Sheridan Circle, ringed by embassies including those of Cyprus, Romania, and Armenia. The statue of the Union general at the circle's center was created by Gutzon Borglum, most famous for chiseling Mount Rushmore.
Detour a block south on 23rd Street to see the (4) Dumbarton Bridge, built in 1915 and notable for the arresting bison sculptures that stand on each corner. Return to Massachusetts and amble three blocks more to the (5) Islamic Center, a practicing mosque comprised of elaborate tilework, arches and pillars and topped with a soaring minaret; "Nice to see Eastern architecture nestled among the other buildings; a great reminder of how international the city is."—Gabriel Einsohn, Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum.
On your left as you cross 30th Street is the angular and modern, rose Asiago marble-shelled (6) Italian embassy. The diamond floor plan of the embassy was created to reflect the original boundaries of the city of Washington. A few minutes walk more along Massachusetts brings you to the (7) Khalil Gibran Centennial Fountain on your right, a memorial established in 1983 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Lebanese poet's (author of The Prophet) birth.
At 3301 Massachusetts, the constructivist architecture of the (8) Finnish embassy was based on the ideas of Alvar Aalto and stands as one of the city's contemporary architectural gems, featuring a cantilevered glass back wall that juts over Rock Creek Park. The embassy is open to the public twice yearly during exhibitions of Finnish art and design and organizes open-to-the-public concerts.

Penguin Video and FREEBIES
WOW! This video is so amazing! This quick video will allow your kids to witness the mother penguin handing the egg over to the father, the long grueling winter and the birth of the baby chick. Did I say AMAZING??! Tomorrow we are going to do a relay race where the kids have to use their feet to hand off the egg to each other. Pictures coming soon!

Wow! That video is amazing. Thanks for sharing! :)ReplyDelete
We did the same thing today!! :) I show all of March of the Penguins, broken up over the week. We used a plastic Easter egg to pass back & forth. Did you use something bigger that was a more realistic size? It was harder than they thought it would be!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for posting. My district blocks lots of videos that are available on the internet but I can play this from your blog.ReplyDeleteReplies

I am amazed at how beautiful you make your anchor charts!! When I make one it is not nearly as pretty and neat as the charts you make. It maybe because I get in a big hurry!! Love all the penguin activities! Last year my students tried to carry a plastic egg on their feet. They loved it!ReplyDelete

What a great video!! Before showing the video, I wonder what the students would have thought about the birth and care of a baby penguin and the penguin winter rituals. Adding videos like this makes learning so much fun for students. Thanks for sharing!!ReplyDelete

But is your favorite Kansas City beer company going global, too?
Last week, Boulevard announced its intent to sell the company to a Belgian brewer after almost a quarter of a century in Kansas City.
This is a company that is synonymous with being "local." Why would its founder John McDonald want to make this move and what does it mean for your favorite brew?

The number of students of immigrant origin is growing at a fast rate in schools located in suburban areas of Helsinki. Next autumn, 50 out of 60 pupils starting the seventh grade at the Mylllypuro comprehensive schools will speak a language other than Finnish as their mother-tongue. There has not been an even distribution of immigrants throughout the Helsinki area creating situations in which certain schools are predominantly immigrant in terms of the student body. During the period 2001 through 2006, Helsinki launched an Urban Project that was funded by the European Union.
According to Anneli Luotonen, principal of the Myullpuro lower secondary school, "the project enabled supervision and monitoring, making it possible to keep the pupils at school." School social workers helped resolve bullying issues, and dealt with conflict resolution while working to build a sense of solidarity among students coming from differing backgrounds. Money was used to build an Internet cafe and IT courses were even arranged for parents. Naturally, since the project was working, funding was cut off. Why is it when schools finally come up with ideas that work, the funding soon ceases?

Sunday 17th July 2011
Once again I have chosen a train journey to record my thoughts and, while watching the Chinese countryside pass by at incredible speed, I can think of no better place to describe our last few days as an English Gooner in Asia.
Shanghai is our next destination, a few days in what promises to be another intriguing city and maybe at last a chance to relax a little after a trip that so far could be decsribed as nothing less than hectic!
One last night in Kuala Lumpur saw another bar next to a swimming pool many many floors up a skyscraper with stunning views across the city, a situation that pretty much summed up the first half of the trip.
Arriving into Hangzhou on our early Friday morning flight, however, it was immediately clear this would be a whole new experience.
Described as one of China's most beautiful cities we were a tad unfortunate that our short stay was shrouded in smog. We did our utmost to enjoy the delights as you would expect, in particular in the evening where we managed to find a small street market with tables where seven of us enjoyed some simply fantastic freshly cooked local delicacies, plenty of liquid refreshment for less than 15 quid between us!
Saturday of course was matchday and our first experience of the Chinese railway system. Widely used by the locals it proved a fast, comfortable and very cheap way to get to Yiwu City... if like us you had pre-bought reserved seats that is. The queue for tickets at Hangzhou station was 50 deep and double that in length!
Arriving at the location for the match I think it is worth mentioning the driving. Although up to five lanes wide it really is a free-for-all with no apparent regard for traffic lights and right of way. For those of you old enough to remember, think Penelope Pitstop and Wacky Races. Our taxi journey to our latest hotel was bordering on terryfying!
In a part of the world known for its heavy rainstorms we had been very lucky so far with little or none experienced. About an hour before the match the heavens simply opened! Most of us got caught in it but in such heat it was refreshing.
In a less-than-inspiring game on this occasion, the local fans were equally as fanatical as our friends from other parts of Asia and with a crowd of 20,000 or more it made for another noisy night.
Carlos Vela heads back to the UK as the only member of our squad who can say he scored in China but I'm sure they all leave with some fantastic memories from the trip.
Mine will continue with a few days in Shanghai and with our arrival imminent I will sign off for now.
Then of course it's back to a city many of us has have fond memories of - Cologne.
Zaijian & Xiexie!

While at work, a co-worker and myself were discussing conventions and he mentioned that he went to Comic-con last year in Charlotte, and there were many people dressed up. I've lived here in North Carolina all my life and I've never heard of any larger conventions here, so naturally, I Googled it when I got home, and sure enough, I found two conventions, a Comic con with very little information on their website, and HeroesCon, that looks fairly big, both taking place later on in the summer of this year.
I plan on going, but I was just wondering if anyone here at the Dented Helmet is planning on going as well. Also, since I was obviously oblivious to those conventions, does anyone know of any (besides DragonCon in Atlanta) that are in-state, or within reasonable driving distance?

Posted by Dean Davison on February 6, 2012
As part of Forrester's research into sales enablement, I recently took a journey to "plumb the depths" of sales battle cards. Why?
Sales reps at technology companies tell Forrester that they must understand their competitors if so that they can outmaneuver them during the sales cycle; but, these same sales professionals tell Forrester that, despite the best efforts of product managers, competitive teams, and sales operations, current battle cards are not consistent, instrumental tools that help win more deals.
And thus, my journey into battle cards begins.
During my career, I've worked in competitive intelligence at two technology companies, so I already had some strong opinions about battle cards. I tried to set my own views aside, though, and adopted Forrester's methods of developing a hypothesis and interviewing professionals in the industry.
My initial research looked at the "thing" called a battle card – the layout, structure, and content with the goal of building battle cards that helped sales reps address competitive issues during customer conversations. While testing some really good ideas that came out of the interviews, I could see that the improved battle cards still weren't enough to meet our objective – routinely helping reps win more deals.
I turned my attention to the "process" of building battle cards – specifically, how sales enablement professionals identify the competitive issues that merit battle cards, how they work with product managers and marketing teams to create the content for battle cards, and how they deliver battle cards to sales reps. While testing some really good process ideas that came out of the interviews, I could see that even when the groups creating battle cards actively work with sales, their points of view and professional skills are so different, that they miss important details.
