UNC-Wake Forest Postgame Quotes
UNC Head Coach Roy Williams
Opening Statement
"I thought it was a good night for us. I think that Jeff's (Bzdelik) team didn't play nearly as well as he wanted them to play and they missed shots that they would normally make. I thought defensively we were pretty good in the first half. We were not as good offensively; we turned it over on the break. We had three times where we would throw it through the guys' hands on the break. But still, you have to feel good about the score when you go into halftime, but I wanted us to do a better job of taking care of the basketball. Reggie (Bullock) and PJ (Hairston) both took shots that we didn't need to take but we've had a lot of games where there are more than two of those in the first half. Overall, I'm pleased. Reggie and James Michael (McAdoo) were a big force tonight. Last summer I said they needed to be a big force every night, and they were a big force tonight to say the least. Up and down roller coaster of emotions with PJ. Sunday night I was very enthused, I thought he was going to be able to play, he had a smile on his face, he went through some pretty concentrated shooting drills and didn't have a headache and the whole bit. I think he probably would have passed the concussion test that night. We set it up for him to take it on Monday and then at about 2 o'clock in the morning he got up and he was throwing up. It wasn't anything to do with the concussion, it was just he had a virus, a 24 hour deal. This morning he called and said he felt great and performed very, very well on the concussion test. So I was going to try and give him no more than 2 or 3 minutes at a time, I guess he got 12 minutes. It was good to see him back in there, but again, Reggie and James Michael were a pretty big force to put the ball in the basket."
On holding Wake Forest to under 40-percent shooting in the first half:
"I think we did try to challenge the shot, we try to get out there and we know that CJ (Harris) and Travis (McKie). And it helped us with Travis getting in foul trouble in the first half too, let's be realistic about that. We didn't hold them to nearly as good of a percentage in the second half and I thought we were going to have good precision, I think we made one of our last eight or nine shots, you don't like to finish a game like that. But, we're trying on the defensive end. I think we're getting better on the defensive end. We had some lapses where we got to penetrate down the middle and some of those things that every coach is going to find something you don't like."
On the 15-1 run to close the first half:
"We got good shots. We really did get good shots. We ran a couple of set plays and got good shots. I remember one time they got a wide open shot and missed it and we go to the other end and we're not quite as open and ours goes in. I don't look at the score very often, but I looked up one time and I think it was a six or eight point game and there wasn't much time left in the half and then I think we made a pretty significant run. We got some stops on the defensive end and ran some breaks too that we didn't throw it away. One time we had a break and Marcus (Paige) bounces it to Jackson and it goes right through his hands. Then we have P.J. shooting three free throws after a foul on the three-point attempt and he makes the first, misses the next two then we tip it out and get the ball again and miss a wide open three there too. But I thought we did play well there right before the half."
Wake Forest Head Coach Jeff Bzdelik
Opening Statement:
"Obviously the emphasis going into this game was to not turn the ball over, something that we worked on. Obviously we did a terrible job of that. They had 18 points in the first half off 13 turnovers. If you give a team that many easy baskets, it leads to a high shooting percentage, and shatters the confidence of our team, and it snowballs from there. I believe the score was 32 to 26 at one time and we had the ball on a break. And I believe we turned it over. We can't just give teams that many more possessions and that many easy points on turnovers."
Regarding WF poor shooting in first half:
"We had some opportunities to score, and some open looks, but we missed some shots from around the rim. I believe our first couple shots were around the rim. Give them credit, they made shots. We had some opportunities and simply couldn't convert."
Regarding preparing for the game:
"You can't simulate a lot of things. You can't simulate the atheleticism, the crowd, the bright lights. At times we've done a good job, but at times we've done a very poor job."
Regarding turnovers:
"I think we just lose our confidence quickly. We just do. You can see it in their eyes. It's something we address. We've tried different ways to approach these games on the road. Obviously you have to play well, and we simply haven't these last road games. We're going back home, and that's not a magical formulae for playing well. We have to play well."
UNC Players
On finding more shots:
"It's just trying to put in that extra work and getting more comfortable as the season goes on. God is good. We were able to get that win, but none of the production on game day comes without a lot of work that I've been trying to put in."
On tonight's balance and unselfishness:
"It's definitely the key to our offense. The games that we've lost, you can see that we took bad shots and we had turnovers and that just made the other team's offense so much easier. It made our defense harder, so that's something we're really trying to work on, just getting a good shot that the whole team wants. When that happens everybody can contribute."
On James Michael McAdoo's growth:
"He watched some film on Antawn Jamison. Antawn Jamison does a great job of just getting the ball and hurrying up and attacking. I think that's what (James Michael) did tonight. He was just in the right place at the right time and he was just aggressive. It showed tonight."
On the team's success forcing turnovers:
"Everybody had a sense of urgency. Coach wrote it on the board before we went out there saying that we have to rebound and everybody has to play with a sense of urgency. Our guys did a great job doing that tonight. We were very aggressive from the start."
On where the team is midway through the season:
"We still are right around the corner from it. In the game today there were some great stretches that we had but there were still some stretches that could have done a lot better. Once we just put a whole game together fully, I feel like we'll be top 25, a top team in the country."
On the offense:
"We just moved the ball well. We got out in transition a little bit, but we set good screens and guys came off ready to shoot. Reggie made some big shots and he's shooting well. I feel like our whole offense in general ends up being smoother, especially with Mac and how active he was. Reggie's a big key to it. When he's shooting well, it kind of feeds off on other guys so our ball movement was good and he stepped up big time."
On Reggie Bullock and James Michael McAdoo both scoring over 20 points:
"It certainly helps. Everyone would agree that those are our two main guys on the offensive end and probably most consistent. To have them put up big numbers makes it easier for all of us. A P.J. three, a Leslie three, an open shot for one of us over guards only compliments that and helps us out a lot."

Green Bay Sweeps YSU to Remain Perfect in Horizon League Play
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's tennis team finished its Ohio road swing on Sunday with a 7-0 victory over Youngstown State at the Boardman Tennis Center. With the win, the Phoenix remained unbeaten in Horizon League play (4-0) and improved to 14-7 overall.
Green Bay got the day started by taking the doubles point thanks to a pair of hard-fought wins. Junior Michael Tebon (Excelsior, Minn.) and sophomore Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.) first defeated the duo of Max Schmerin and Rodrigo Campos 8-5 at No. 2, and then sophomores Rowan Isaaks (London, England) and Leopold Gomez Islinger (Weiden, Germany) took down the Penguins' Zeeshan Ismail and Sharvil Nawghare 8-6 at No. 3.
The Phoenix kept things rolling in singles action, winning all six matches, including four of them in straight sets.
Junior Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) cruised to a 6-0, 6-3 win at the No. 1 spot over YSU's Sebastian Hagn, Gomez Islinger won 6-3, 6-3 at No. 2 against Silviu Mistreanu and sophomore Howard Scott (Exeter, England) routed Dawoud Kabli 6-2, 6-1 at No. 3. Isaaks also won in straight sets at No. 5 singles, defeating Ismail 6-4, 6-2.
Leto earned a come-from-behind win at the No. 4 spot, winning 6-1 in the second set and 6-3 in the third after dropping set one to Schmerin 3-6. Freshman Jorge Gonzalez Soler (Madrid, Spain) also grabbed a three-set win, taking down Campos 6-1, 1-6, 7-5 at No. 6.
Green Bay wraps up its regular season on the road next weekend, traveling to take on Horizon League opponents Detroit (Friday) and Wright State (Saturday).

text: The Low has written a report on last night's Vegas Summer League game between the junior versions of the Pistons and the 76ers. You can also read this report at BadBoySummerCamp.com. Here's the report, and feel free to discuss it in this thread. 2007 SL Game 1 Recap - Detroit vs. Philadelphia by The LowJuly 7, 2007 DET vs PHI – VSL Game 1 Well, to kick off this year's VSL I bounced on down to Thomas & Mack with the girlfriend and brother in tow. I noticed a handsome young man named LA Dre hanging out across the arena getting ready to enjoy the action. Spotted everyone's favorite beat writer and caught a glimpse of Joe Dumars and Mo Cheeks. This year we were hoping to keep a closer eye on certain commodities as some of the lesser members turned out to be ineffective at best in years prior. This year appears to be more of the same, so I would recommend that you prepare to catch up on as much as I can provide on Johnson, Stucky, Maxiell, Afflalo, Mejia, and Samb. Points of note: Today's game felt very slow and unfamiliar for a lot of these guys. I'm pretty sure this is mostly due to their not having played with each other for very long.DET seemed to get very little out of there offensive sets and turned the ball over a lot more than they should have.DET didn't really shoot well to start the game, but seemed to take advantage of PHI's dry spells.DET also didn't seem to be attacking the basket with strength (with the exception of Maxiell because that's what he does).PHI also seemed to be able to get some scores in the paint pretty early as Samb appeared to be late on a number of rotations.The first half seemed very methodical and slow moving to me…very tedious.I really hope this game isn't an indicator of how well Stuckey and Afflalo can attack the basket and/or create their own shots. I was somewhat disappointed judging from all the excitement from some fans.AJ No Amir at this point. Still haggling contract issues. Stuckey Says that he patterns his game after Wade, but appears to lack the speed and strength. I was looking for him to be much more aggressive than he was. He seemed to dribble away from most double teams instead of looking to split or attack the weak side. Afflalo Hit a few shots here and there, but didn't do anything eye catching in my opinion. Samb Appeared a bit slow and out of sorts today. He stayed near the basket and grabbed a few rebounds and knocked down a couple shots. However, he seemed to be very late on several defensive rotations. I'll need to see his next couple games to see how this guy is rounding into shape. Mejia He didn't really amaze me, but he did do a nice job of knocking down shots (including the game winner) Maxiell What can I say? Max was Max. He lead the team in scoring and was very aggressive on offense. I think the VSL officials really dislike him or something because he appears to pick up a lot of fouls that don't get called on other players. He did a good job of knocking down his mid-range jumpers and attacking the basket with the same force we saw during the regular season. This year's summer league will be the last for Maxiell and he plans to make lunch meat out of the competition on his way out the door. I'm pretty sure that I am in the minority in thinking that today's game was kind of blah as I understand the fans that caught the webcast enjoyed today's action. For me, being there in person, the play just seemed very sloppy and the DET players seemed to get very little in the way of execution when running their offensive sets. I'm going to be looking forward to the following games to determine whether or not I'll take a certain level of enthusiasm and/or interest into the regular season.

Download IT decision support impacts all aspects of technology management, from governance and strategy to budgets and resource plans. The effectiveness of IT decision support all too frequently falls prey to data-driven challenges - like overwhelming volumes, heterogenous data types, and complexity - that make it difficult to understand the data in context. Just as the cobbler's children in the old fable had no shoes, IT leaders are falling foul of the very same decision support challenges that IT works hard to avoid across their firms' other organizations. And the really bad news: This challenge is expected to get worse - and to spread beyond the IT organization. In the summer of 2013, BDNA commissioned Forrester Consulting to assess how data impacts the effectiveness of IT decision support. To that end, Forrester developed a survey to test the hypothesis that data challenges limit the effectiveness of IT decision support - and that dealing with these challenges will lead to large companies depending on third-party help. To test this thinking, Forrester conducted surveys with 115 US senior-level IT decision-makers (IT and corporate management leaders) - adding in-depth follow-up interviews with some of them. Forrester found this hypothesis to be true: Data-driven challenges limit the effectiveness of IT decision support - and many users expect to turn to thirdparty vendors for help.

A 20-year old pregnant Marine has been missing for more than three weeks after she withdrew her claim that she had been sexually assualted. Maria Frances Lauterbach was scheduled to appear at the sheriff's office to testify about the alleged assault when she suddenly disappeared from the post. She was last heard from on December 14, and her phone was found near the main gate. Her car was found on Monday near a bus station.
There is no doubt females still encounter sexual harassment in the service. In many cases, female soldiers are under extreme pressure to avoid bringing charges against fellow soldiers for sexual assualt because the military doesn't want to project an image that such activities might occur in the service. Perhaps, if the environment for being able to openly discuss sexual harassment, individuals like Ms. Lauterbach might feel more comfortable dealing with issues rather than fleeing from disagreeable encounters with superiors.

Pre-Season Week #2 vs Philadelphia
What will you all be watching for?? Here are some specific things, I'll be paying close attention to:
- Ngata's effectiveness, being out on an NFL field for the 1st time
- Whether or not McNair can continue some of what he started on Friday
- The effectiveness of our DT depth (which was very solid last game)
- How fast we get after the QB, and how we protect our's
- How our depth at DB seems to be working out
- Whether our quality depth/success at RB will continue
- How DWill seems to be progressing, along with whether or not aligator arms has progressed at all
- And obviously, NO INJURIES!!
I think that pretty much sums it up. Ross will be interesting to watch on kick returns, he needs to be impressive if he is going to dethrown Sams. Also, I want to see more from Koch, I'm not comfortable with him punting for us yet.

I don't expect another march down the field on the first play. Here are what I will pay attention to (as the TV allows):
1. Our 1st and 2nd string OL play.
2. Can Musa follow up with another good performance.
3. Can PJ Daniels hold on to the ball.
4. Sam Koch stepping up an owning his punting job.
5. McNair not doing too much rushing out of the pocket and giving me a heart attack.
6. Interested to see how Boller responds to his last outing.
8. Who amongst Darling, Moore, Bryant, and Ten Dresses will pull from the pack an seize the 4th and 5th WR jobs.
9. What will Pittman do at nickel.
10. Landry and Sapp battle for safety.
Everything else, I am not concerned.It's a new season! It's a new day!

- McNair needs to pick up where he left off
- No injures
- Jamal NEEDS to pick up where he left off.
- Everyone needs to stay healthy
- Ngata needs to bust up the o-line, and alow Ray to do what he does best.
- Health
- Clarence Moore needs to look good out there, mostly for competition sakes.
- No injury's
- Our DB's need to play a shut down game.
- Health
No injuries and that's my main thing to be concerned about.
I might pay attention to the offensive and defensive lines, but all I care about is that no one significant gets injured.
Thing that I'll be looking for is Adam Terry to have another top notch outing. From what I've seen he did an excellent job shutting down Osi Umenyiora, very impressed with his play against one of the best REs in the league and I hope my boy keeps on proving the doubters wrong.
His run blocking again wasn't over powering but he positioned himself superbly, one run in particular where Jamal got a good run off of left guard or off the centre's left side (can't remember which), Terry clearly didn't have the leg drive to push Umenyiora off the line but he positioned himself superbly and just turned Osi away from the play, that's just as effective and was very pleasing to see that Adam wasn't trying to incorporate a part of his game that just isn't there

Re: Pre-Season Week #2 vs Philadelphia
I'll be looking for:
- Drew Olson. If he doesn't do anything here, he's headed for the P Sq
- More success from Jamal. To extend that, more of a rhythm between Jamal, MA, and Musa.
- DVD or Clarence Moore to step up. Demterius Williams is our #3, done, but we still need a #4
- Ngata to DOMINATE...ok, just do well.
- Sapp vs Landry, someone needs to step up
- Koch vs Araguz, someone needs to step up.
When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. Thats the Baltimore Raven way. - Steve Smith Sr.
Call me a Special Teams coach again. I dare you! I double dare you, MFer!
Re: Pre-Season Week #2 vs Philadelphia
Some things I will look for:
Atleast one sustained drive from McNair.
Improvement from Mike Anderson. Hopefully he gets some time in with the first team.
The 1st OL picks up where it left off last week.
Improvement from the 2nd OL.
What cant Demetrius Williams do?
Can our new passing O hang with the Eagle's dominant secondary?
Ngata. Show us what you can do big guy!
And of course, NO INJURIES!!"This year, our attitude when were on the field is were attacking, we want to put points on the board and then let our defense pin their ears back and have at it."
-Mark Clayton
Re: Pre-Season Week #2 vs Philadelphia
Our secondary will be what I pay attention to. They didn't show me much of anything last game.

Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I'm going
to give the in-line muzzle loader a try. I have been
looking at a lot of different ones and I want the Triumph.
Actually I want the Bone Collector but I'm getting a brand
new Triumph for near nothing.
It's a done deal, I've made up my mind. What I was looking for
was some insight from people that have shot this or the
Bone Collector. I have heard that it's finicky with primers.
I can't use Sabots for hunting in MT. Any suggestions on
the next best thing. Just looking to save a couple bucks
instead of investing in a lot of stuff I'll only partially use.
What I'm not interested in is, whatever brand of Muzzleloader
you have or like or think is better. I don't care, start your own
thread on how great YOUR ML is. I do thank in advance those
with some first hand knowledge that are kind enough to share.

A $10,000 college degree? Rick Perry bets on it
posted at 2:59 pm on November 23, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
With costs exploding in higher education and student debt becoming a crippling fact of life, many are looking for ways to reduce costs while maintaining access and quality. Texas Governor Rick Perry has challenged colleges and universities in his state to crafting baccalaureate degree programs that will cost no more than $10,000, including tuition and books — and may have found success already:
Texas is experimenting with an initiative to help students and families struggling with sky-high college costs: a bachelor's degree for $10,000, including tuition fees and even textbooks. Under a plan he unveiled in 2011, Republican Gov. Rick Perry has called on institutions in his state to develop options for low-cost undergraduate degrees. The idea was greeted with skepticism at first, but lately, it seems to be gaining traction. If it yields success, it could prompt other states to explore similar, more-innovative ways to cut the cost of education. …
In the Lone Star State, 10 institutions have so far responded to the governor's call with unique approaches, ranging from a five-year general-degree pipeline that combines high school, community college, and four-year university credits to a program that relies on competency-based assessments to enable students to complete a degree in organizational leadership in as little as 18 months.
At Angelo State University, admissions will begin in January for a four-year interdisciplinary-studies program through which students can combine three separate minors into one bachelor's degree for an overall cost of $9,974. ASU President Joseph Rallo envisions the program as the perfect fit for an adult who is interested in broadening his skills in order to advance his career, not necessarily a student looking for the traditional college experience.
"The profile that we aim the degree for is the adult student who is interested in a broad degree and at the same time a degree that would be academically rigorous," Rallo said, adding that students must have an ACT score of 27 or above to enter the program and maintain at least a 3.0 grade-point average to continue.
At the University of Texas (Arlington), the university teamed up with Tarrant County community colleges and school districts to create a program that would allow students to obtain a degree in any field for less than $10,000. Students in their junior and senior years of high school will complete dual credit programs already provided by their school districts in order to earn some college credit. The students will go on to spend about a year at community college before finishing their degree at UT Arlington.
These are innovative approaches, and could help some students keep their education debt to manageable levels. It won't work in every discipline — law, medicine, and the hard sciences usually require a set curriculum at the college level — but it could help a lot of other students succeed without economically burdening them or taxpayers for decades. It's worth watching to see whether these programs can indirectly lower costs and reduce the strain on academic resources in those other areas, too.

Re: What do you what to learn in Hub training?Sandra Everts Sep 12, 2013 11:10 AM (in response to Dana Grennier)
In a post, how can we include a link to an external source and have it open in a window so the "back" function works?

I just have a simple question about our "Inbox." If we no longer want to keep any of our items (old messages we have sent, statuses we have commented on, etc.), is there a way we can delete them?
Re: What do you want to learn in Hub training?Dana Grennier Sep 19, 2013 8:47 AM (in response to Jennifer Laur)
When you are in your Hub inbox, there is a checkbox in the upper left-corner of the inbox that reads "Unread Only". Click on that to have all the read emails disappear. Remove the check if you want to see all the old emails with the new ones.

I would like to learn how to set and change the privacy of various elements in the Hub. I'd also like to learn how to see what a page will look like from a different user's perspective -- e.g. how does my discussion appear to fist-time visitors?

I am a total novice on this. I have spent several hours so far "wallowing" unproductively, mainly because of not knowing what to do productively. I am unclear about the organization - flow chart) - how this is organized. Example: The difficulty or inability to find my way back to something I had read earlier.
Are there others that need that kind of introduction?

I find bookmarks helpful in finding my way back to a document that I have been to before. There is often (always?) a bookmark button on the right that you can click to bookmark the page you are on.
To see all your bookmarks, click on your name at the top right corner of the page. Then select "Calendar" (for example) which will take you to your homepage with many tabs. One of these tabs is called "Bookmarks," and it has all your bookmarks in it.
More on bookmarks...
Tags are also helpful. You can add tags to any page you wish.

Friends. I have things I want to tell you about. Big things. So major that I've been staring at these photos for over a week, unable to find common ground between all the news I want to share and this unexciting (albeit delicious) bowl of curry. And that's why half my news will have to wait. Until I make a cake. One that may involve booze and pink frosting.
The other half, I'll share now.

In-Game Blog/Box score
The Denver Outlaws (1-0) opened the 2011 season in front of a home crowd of 9,993, defeating the Hamilton Nationals (0-1), 18-10, at a rain-soaked INVESCO Field at Mile High.
The Outlaws had four players finish with hat tricks, led by 10 points from attackman Brendan Mundorf, who finished the night with his 28th career hat trick and set a new Outlaws single-game record with 10 points.
Mundorf finished the night with six goals and four assists, and scored multiple points in each quarter. He earned Bud Light MVP honors following his fourth consecutive opening-game hat trick.
The Outlaws were also boosted by newly acquired midfielder Peet Poillon—who also finished the night with a hat trick—just hours after meeting his teammates for the first time since being acquired via trade earlier in the week.
Attackmen Drew Westervelt and Athan Iannucci also joined the hat trick club, and all of Iannucci's goals came in the second half as the Outlaws exploded. Denver outscored the Nationals 12-5 in the second frame, including an 8-1 advantage in the third quarter .
Goalie Jesse Schwartzman backstopped a solid defensive effort and scooped up a team-high five ground balls and saved 13-of-21 shots on goal (.619 pct.) in the winning effort.
"It was a good team effort," Head Coach Tom Slate said. "It was great to see these guys gel as a team in their first game."
The Outlaws started the season on the right foot, scoring 62 seconds into the game on a Mundorf shot that slipped past Hamilton goalie Scott Rodgers.
Denver continued its first quarter surge moments later when Poillon scored to put the Outlaws up 2-0. Two minutes later, Denver struck again when Westervelt buried the ball in the back of the net off an assist from attacker Brian Langtry.
Hamilton earned possession finally, when Geoff Snider won a crucial faceoff, which allowed the Nationals to get on the board.
Mundorf completed his hat trick before the end of the first quarter. He scored twice more, with his third goal coming with only 10 seconds remaining on the clock.
With a 5-3 lead heading into the second quarter, the Outlaws couldn't hold off a Nationals comeback as Jarrett Davis scored early in the quarter to make it 5-4 and added a second goal with 1:46 left to play in the first half. He finished with the Nationals' only hat trick.
Mundorf kept the Outlaws afloat in the second quarter though, notching his fourth goal of the game, which gave Denver a 6-5 lead heading into halftime.
In the second half, the Outlaws pulled away from the visitors when Langtry scored on an assist from Mundorf to put Denver up 7-5 with 11 minutes to play in the third.
One minute later, Mundorf found Poillon on a nice feed, which gave the Outlaws a three goal-lead.
Snider scored for the Nationals with 8:32 to play to make it 8-6, but Denver's offense could not be stopped.
Will Dalton won the draw and roared down the field, bouncing a shot past Rodgers to make the score 9-6. Then, Poillon found the back of the net for the third time in the game to put Denver up 10-6.
Westervelt added his second goal on an assist from Langtry with 3:34 to play in the third quarter. Langtry finished the game with three assists.
The Outlaws weren't done in the third quarter, as Iannucci scored seconds later.
Mundorf netted his fifth goal with 2:31 remaining on the clock, continuing the rout.
Westervelt completed his hat trick before the quarter came to an end, extending the Outlaws' lead to 14-6 with 1:33 remaining in the quarter.
Denver outscored Hamilton 8-1 in the third quarter, which proved to be the difference in the game. The eight goals set a new Outlaws record for most goals scored in an opening-game third quarter.
As the rain poured down from above, the Outlaws poured on the goals in the final frame. Iannucci scored a two-point goal with 11:02 remaining in the game on an assist from Mundorf.
Mundorf continued to his spectacular season debut, scoring once again to put the Outlaws up 17-6.
After three goals from the Nationals, Mundorf and Iannucci teamed up once again, as Iannucci became the fourth Outlaw to hit the three-goal plateau.
Next week, the Outlaws travel east to take on the Boston Cannons. Last season, the Cannons and the Outlaws finished tied atop the MLL standings with matching 8-4 records.
The game will be played on Saturday at 5 p.m. MST.
Postgame quotes from Outlaws Head Coach Tom Slate:
On winning his first game as a head coach with the Denver Outlaws
"It was a good team effort. I'm glad that we got this with the assistant coaches and whole the organization—our guys put a lot of work into it. It was great to see these guys gel as a team in their first game."
On the fans supporting the team despite heavy rain throughout the game
"It's huge. The fans were very into it and they are passionate about it. We are going to enjoy this tonight and tomorrow and then on Monday it will be about Boston next week. They are a great team and that is just how this league is. We have to take it one game at a time but we'll enjoy this right now.
On the record-setting performance by attackman Brendan Mundorf
"Enough said (by his stats). Everybody knows about him and he is one of the best. The great thing about him is that it does not matter if it is him, as long as the team is winning. It just so happens, tonight was his night.

"This was a great invitation for my daughter's Under the Sea/Bubble Guppies birthday party. I received many compliments from our guests. I would definitely recommend upgrading and getting the gold envelopes. They added a little glamour to the invitations."
"Love this invitation! I was looking for a princess themed product for my daughter's third birthday party. Beautiful thick paper. I liked that this one had a good bit of room for my text. I bought the extra scalloped edges and love how it turned out. I have received several complements. Quick shipping."
"These cards are lovely. The paper is thick and nice to the touch. We personalized the back with a picture and a personal message, and they are just charming. Will definitely order again."
"This invite is super sweet for a little girl. The colors are right on and the fact you can put pictures on the back are great. The paper quality on the normal paper is excellent, nice and thick. I got the scalloped edges which give it such a dainty look. I absolutely love it."

Robinson has helped block for a devastating L.D. Bell offense that helped defeat Irving Nimitz last Friday 41-0. The Blue Raiders are 7-2 and close out their regular season with a game against Colleyville Heritage this week before heading into the playoffs.
Robinson is a solid three-star prospect by Scout.com and has scholarship offers from the likes of Kansas State, Houston, Nevada, and Arkansas State, and is still being evaluated by other programs.
Robinson was at an Oklahoma State junior day in the spring and then made an unofficial visit for the Iowa State game in October. "It went really good," said Robinson after that visit. "We got to see all of the campus, and there was a lot going on.
"The game was pretty good. They gave up a few plays early but then made corrections and shut them down after that. I came with my dad, one of my teammates, safety Kamari Syrie, and Vili Leveni. Vili is a defensive end that is also being recruited by Oklahoma State."
Robinson said he did get some quality time with the coaches.
"I'd been up there on junior day, but this time before the game my dad and I got to sit down and talk with Coach (Joe) Wickline for about 10 to 15 minutes. I shook hands with Coach (Mike) Gundy and then got to talk to him some after the game."
Jesse Robinson is the 17th commitment overall for Oklahoma State and he is the fourth confirmed commitment by an offensive line prospect.


text: After reading this today on one of the other costuming websites it has me wondering could this sooner or later happen everywhere everywhere else in the country. There was one time when I was doing nothing wrong I was just walking around in my Master Chief costume for a city fair type event close to where I lived and I was told by the city police department to either remove the costume from the city event or I would be arrested was'nt taking tips or any threatening movements just taking pictures with people for the fun of it, so the removed the costume but things like this out in Hollywood upsets me, because I can understand tips but not begging for tips which is how this sort of seems to me after reading the story and watching the video, I mean people have to make a living one way or another. What are your thoughts on this?

At last time I've heard a lot about Tera. Is there any reason to try it now or better to wait for upcoming MMOs?
At last time I've heard a lot about Tera. Is there any reason to try it now or better to wait for upcoming MMOs?
Well I got a tip for every one out there who ask is Tear good or shall I wait or shall I play GW2. Teas is FREE TO PLAY bloody download it try it if u hate it you hate it if you love it you love it just try it and making 100 post about wont tell you anything.
and I mean it to every one who asks.
Tera is all other than a mmorpg,lets call it MMO,Genrric browser based quests in Unreal 3 non target ? noty
I prefer good target mmorpg than cheap non target
Although I agree, I feel that it's fair to ask considering TERA is like 30 gigs.
Maybe I should have said so from the start im sorry.
And can somebody tell something about gameplay, quests, pvp and other things in Tera.
Last edited by Dea3Zong; 01-15-2014 at 08:02 PM.
Well game play is well action combat based like if you don't aim on the monster u miss you have a few classes, Archer,Warrior,Lancer,Sorcerer,Berserker,Mystic,Pr iest,Slayer.
Here are some class info http://tera.enmasse.com/game-guide/classes
Quest are plenty but you have a dead zone somewhere around level 30+ if they have not fixed that yet at least not in EU last I played month ago.
PVP im not 100% on more than battlegrounds wich is fun team vs team pvp.
Well im not great at this but here some info I know it´s from US but mostly the same as EU info expect EU is alwyas like way way behind US and Korean version.
Quests suck
Combat is okay not that fast but it is entertaining
Graphics are hot! Details are nice and the world is pretty nice to look at!
Class wise they have a pretty decent selection and they have their own fighting style
It's worth playing if you like actiony games as well as nice graphics. Just be ready to stomach boring quests. That's about all that was wrong with the game :3
Tera is fun but the usual opinion is that the end game is really unimpressive. From what i hear the end game pvp is imbalanced and there is nothing to do at max level except to repeat the same boring quests.
I hate learning a games system and then finding out i cant enjoy it. I tis like studying for a maths subject which you will never ever evr use in real life ever eevr again. Spend 500 hours understanding a complex maths subject? Yea Tera... then chuck the knowledge away. What a joke.
Be warned - I am a major player of Regnum Online the mmo. I've been playing it for about 2 years and rarely go without logging in at least once a day. You can also look at good alternatives to Regnum such ase Aion online and Aika Online.
There are quite a few endgame dungeons/raids, so the endgame PvE is good. PvP is garbage in TERA though.
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
Ill answer like I usually do for threads about Tera. If you do not have state of the art computer, I strongly recommend skipping this game. By state of the art I mean CPU that is something like overclocked i5 running at 4ghz and decent gpu. If your cpu is lacking, like mine (3ghz athlon 6-core cpu), the game is pretty much unplayable when the frame rate drops to 10. Also to point out, this has existed since beginning of the game, so it is very unlikely they bother fixing the fps drop caused by UI. The fps starts sinking somewhere around lvl 40+ dungeons
And the last question, how much is population and is it much?
If youre into pvp. Dont give this game a try. Its one of the worst.
If youre into having 1 aim, which is farming gear, which means doing instances over and over and over and over and over, then give this game a try. After that, it means for you doing nothing. You already cleared the game when you got max lvl. Theres nothing else to do.
Dont expect open world activity. Its dead there. Doesnt exist. Game is fully instanced in end game.
-> Like mindless gear grind in scripted instances? Play it. It will 100% satisfy you
-> Like to do anything else than the above one? Dont even try. Theres nothing else to do

Former Phoenix Standout Ryan Wehking Joins Lipscomb Coaching Staff
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Former Green Bay men's soccer standout goalkeeper Ryan Wehking (St. Louis, Mo.), who graduated in December after serving four years as a starter for the Phoenix, was hired as a graduate assistant goalkeeper coach at Lipscomb University, Bisons head coach Charles Morrow announced Thursday.
Wehking will focus on helping improve Lipscomb's goalkeeping squad, which will return all three members from the 2012-13 roster next season. The Bisons finished 7-12-1 overall and 3-4-1 in the Atlantic Sun conference last season, ending the season in heartbreaking fashion in the A-Sun tournament with a 2-1 loss to No. 1 seed Florida Gulf Coast in double overtime.
"Ryan's leadership abilities and understanding of the goalkeeper position, along with his experience of being an NCAA Division I student-athlete will help him transition into his new coaching role," Green Bay head coach Dan Popik said. "He had a fantastic academic and athletic career at Green Bay and I am confident his work ethic, personality and passion for the game will be an asset to Lipscomb."
In front of his family that traveled all the way from St. Louis, Wehking became Green Bay's all-time leader in shutouts when he recorded his 20th scoreless outing in a 1-0 win over Northern Kentucky at Aldo Santaga Stadium on Aug. 24. He also finished fourth on the Green Bay career record list in both saves and goals-against average with 260 stops and a 1.16 GAA. He was a team captain for two years, and also a member of the NCAA Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) for three years.

Can anyone help me with the following sizes that would have been correct for Jeremy Bulloch during ESB?
I'm getting a jumpsuit made and thought it would be a good idea to get it done to accurate Boba Fett sizes. I don't plan on ever wearing this jumpsuit, I will eventually get a second one made to my size.
Wasn't a suit made for Jeremy by a member here at some point? Maybe those dimensions would be close enough.
I need the following:
1) Chest Circumference.
2) waist.
3) Inseam .
4) General Build .
5) Wrist to Shoulder shirt seam .
6) Wrist to elbow.
7) Sternal knotch at base of neck to groin where legs meet.
8) Ankle to mid thigh.
9) Ankle to mid shin.
10) Ankle to knee.
11) Neck Circumference
12) Across back of shoulders.

Hello, I have an issue with Past Progressive.
I was taught that one of the situations you must use the past continuous was if you made an action in the past at a specific time.
For example:
I was eating dinner at 6 p.m.
My question is: can't i say "I ate dinner at 6 p.m"?
Doesn't it depend on the context?
The specific time points out that something happened before 6 p.m (interruption). Basically, I started eating befor 6 p.m. However, if i say "i ate dinner at 6 p.m" means that I strated eating exactly at 6 p.m.
Is my analysis correct?
Thanks in advance?

Goji berries are a powerful immunostimulant and healing agent boosting the immune system, flushing toxins out of the body, aiding digestion, preventing heartburn and acid reflux, relieving nausea and bloating, healing gastric ulcers, soothing the stomach lining, reducing colon inflammation, facilitating healing, increasing blood flow in the limbs, helping stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, normalizing blood pressure, lowering triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protecting against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, improving brain function, stimulating the activity of the body's antioxidant enzymes and neutralizing free radicals, soothing and healing dry and damaged skin, and even reducing the risk of cancer. A goji berry mask or scrub can be applied topically to heal wounds, sores, scars, bruises, cuts, abrasions, lacerations, burns, rashes and acne-affected areas of your skin. It improves the complexion, brightens and evens out skin tone, reduces redness, inflammation, spots, blotchiness, and small lines, helps break down old scar tissue, stimulates cell renewal and regeneration, and prevents premature aging. I love these amazing Tibetan superberries and add them to oatmeal, granola, yogurt, smoothies, and many other different recipes. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to boost their immune system and improve their overall health and well-being.
Glad I found goji berries on iherb.

Great price for the 16 oz berries. I soak them for a few minutes and snack on them while cleaning my house in the morning. Not too sweet. Just right for me.

I planted 3 goji berries and they all sprouted. Multiple sprouts emerged from each berry. It proves that they are still alive.
too hard and dry

I should have listened to the negative reviews here; they are right. These goji berries are too hard and very dry. They are not pleasant to snack on. Why did i expect a good product from China, I dont know. I really should have known better. Buy the Heaven Mountain brand; they are much better.
Best goji

Great value and best price at Iherb and all internet! Go good for tea, cereal or muesli breakfast, desserts or just without nothing. May seem dry to those who are used to Heaven Mountain Goji, that is fixed easily by soaking them in water for a while. The pack is really big, so the price for that quantity of organic berries is more than affordable. Thanks Iherb!

This product is excellent. Grind up a quarter cup of berries and add them to your favorite drink. Enjoy much more energy throughout the day.
Totally not fresh, dry and disgusting
Posted by Reviewer2347958 on Aug 24, 2012 | Verified Purchase
I bought this because it was a popular organic variety of goji berries available on iHerb. My first goji berry prpoduct off here is the Frontier Natural Products, which although it is not listed as being oragnic, is far tastier, and FAR fresher. I would absolutely not buy this product again, and feel like i have wasted 20 dollars as I now have this bag of practically inedible goji berries. maybe i'll make a tea with it or something, but I would highly recommend people avoid this brand and either go with the Fronteir Natural Products one (the only one I can recommend since I've only purchased that before) or some other brand after doing some more research.
Great Product

I love Goji berries and you can't beat this price especially with them being certified organic.
Over-dried... try "Flora Heaven Mountain Goji Berries" instead.
Posted by Reviewer3138508 on Jul 29, 2008 | Verified Purchase
I thought these tasted good enough at first. Of course, this Navitas brand was my first-ever experience with goji berries, so I didn't really know what I was missing. I later tried the Flora Heaven Mountain brand -- also available here at iHerb -- and the difference was like night and day. The Heaven Mountain goji berries are juicier, sweeter, and very "chewy." These are dry, strange in texture, and totally lackluster by comparison.

Hi, all! I've been working on my Boba duds for a couple of weeks now. Starting as a total Mandalorian Neophyte, I've been soaking up all the knowledge I could for about a month now. I've just about finished a set of Sintra armor that I may post photos of soon -- before moving on to a set of FPv3 -- which is absolutely amazing!
But I thought by way of thanking all the members whose incredibly detailed tutorials, stencils, tips, and genial sense of community have inspired me, I 'd like to share part of my own work in progress: my SgtFang Mystery Helmet v1.
If I hadn't been soooo anxious to start, I might have snapped a few earlier photos of my filling or sanding or priming or masking. But just imagine all that happening at some point in the not too distant past and we'll go from there.... :)
I decided to use a mixture of layered and topical approaches -- using mostly the AFFO$ rattle can list (thanks for that post!!). Layering with masking fluid turned out so well for my armor, that I wanted to at least use that for some part of the helmet. However, I lack the herculean patience of some of the better painters on these boards, so I think -- for the most part, I'm going to limit the layers to the silver base and maybe one other color on the back panels.
Here's the first photo - with all but the dome masked to cover the Rustoleum aluminum base layer, and my first coat of Spruce Green.
Another coat or two, several hours to dry, and we move inside to the kitchen to better light the reveal.... Here's the masking tape removed; the masking fluid is still on:
Masking fluid is removed....TADA!
I used a combination of stencils and freehand, just trying to get as close as I could to the shape of the silver, which I can touch up later with more green or silver, as needed. Here are a few more shots:
Left side to show more of dent....
And the right side to show the cheek and cat scratch...
Tomorrow I hope to start masking the silver of the mandibles with masking fluid and then hit those with some Krylon "Claret Wine" -- looks pretty close to the screen used colors. And I'm not necessarily striving for perfection this first time around.
More updates to come!!! :fettesb

So...I guess we'll soon be seeing arabic as the third choice on the ATM's??
on this site and others much is said about DHLS buying up billions of rounds of ammo and armored trucks, FEMA building hundreds camps out in the middle of no-where mostly and the UN and international government types sniffing around these "emergency preparedness projects".
what were seeing here folks is a program that has been running for the last four years. and will continue till the next administration steps in.
these camps are also springing up in mexico and canada. and as far away as australia and new zeland and the eastern parts of the EU.
i was talking with a contractor today about the situation. he told me that the government plans on re-locating at least 50,000,000 people to these camps in the USA, 25 to 30 million to mexico and another 25-30 million to canada.
what the government er "Obamma" is spending billions preparing for is a total collapse of the infrastructure of nearly the entire middle east.
his plan to save them is to "re-locate" 100,000,000 to north america!
no plan on on how long they will stay . i suspect the ME refugees will be on assistance in the USA for evermore--
so get ready for a re-engineered United States with a bunch of BRAND NEW citizens that speak some form of Arabic---and no english.
remember the boat people?? this totally dwarfs that--
and if they hook up with the ones here all ready?? won't they be nearly a majority?
So...I guess we'll soon be seeing arabic as the third choice on the ATM's??
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
Wow. I read this and thought at first that you might have been nipping at the Mesqual....
But then again, it makes sense from one or two points of view. 100Mil???? OUCH!
The very cynical side of me asks: What do 25 Nukes cost?
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
yea were getting royally F$cked.
at first i though this friend on mine was "shitting" me as well. then i thought i would ask some of my other pals who are somewhat "out or reach" of the US government.
they have had similar concerns about the camps as well.
it also looks like the driving force behind the "apartment building spree". damn apartment complexes funded by uncle sugar are popping up every were.
everyone seems to know the ME is about to plunge into a black hole of war. there are going to be 100s of millions of starving refugees.
and Obamma and the UN are going to ship the bulk of them to the USA if things get bad.
and i think they will be permanent residents once they set foot here.
we can kiss OUR rights good-by, our economy good-by and our way of life good-by too.
the people who THOUGHT obamm couldn't do much harm in his second term are going to be eating a lot of crow--if there are any crows to eat by then!
We sure as heck don't want them here.
I'm thinking maybe the apartments and condos are for them and the camps are for those of us who oppose.
well they will start out in the camps they the government is going to ease them into all these empty apartment complexes at taxpayer expense.
supposedly their going to put the wahabbis, alowites, sunnis, shittakers and so on in their own camps, then screen them for various terrorist groups. the rest will go apartment hunting--
remember this war in Syria? it was supposed to be over in weeks.
the UN and Obamma never met a muzlim/islamist they didn't like. so if the ME has trouble the US is going to spare no expense to "save' them.
I think there has been a large steady stream of them being imported for quite some time. Just another thing being covered up by the media.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
if you look at the current US policy it is like the US it trying to un-glue the entire region. like the US policy is made to breed insurrection and war out there.
like the arab-spring gone nutz. the US for whatever illogical reason is just going along with the uprisings.
now i don't know if the US should give a damn if they kill each other or not. i think the administration and the UN is LOOKING for an excuse to bring millions of them here.
and if they can't find that excuse they INVENT it.
them killing each other ain't hurting the USA, however bringing millions of them out here is just asking for a gigantic problem.
once out in the population their going to start killing each other and more than likely US.
you want to destroy the USA --just bring millions of ME types over here all at once.
hell iran don't need a "bomb" -- they got Obamma!
There is currently a Moslem living in the White House. He probably considers all Moslems to be hos brothers. So, maybe he does want to bring them here. It would make it easier for him to get rid of the Europeans who populate this country. I don't know.

Almond Fudge Pops RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
These rich-tasting frozen treats are oh-so-creamy, kids and grown-ups love 'em! It's hard to eat just one. They're simple to prepare and great to have on hand. Sometimes I'll substitute pecans for the almonds in the recipe. -Debbie Pion, Lakeland, Florida
- 1 envelope whipped topping mix (Dream Whip)
- 1/2 cup cold milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup hot fudge ice cream topping
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup finely chopped almonds, toasted, divided
- 6 disposable plastic cups (3 ounces)
- 6 Popsicle sticks
- In a bowl, beat the topping mix, milk and vanilla on low speed until blended. Beat on high until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the fudge topping and water; fold in the topping mixture and 1/2 cup almonds.
- Pour into plastic cups. Cover with heavy-duty foil; insert sticks through foil. Place in a 9-in. square pan. Freeze until firm. Remove foil and cups. Roll the frozen pops in remaining almonds. Yield: 6 servings.

For operators seeking to save space while creating convenient cold storage options, undercounter refrigeration represents a viable alternative for preparation and cooking lines. Also known as a lowboy, this equipment's smaller size makes it suitable for kitchens with smaller footprints or for operators looking to keep valuable worktop space clear.
Sizes vary significantly based on the application. Undercounter units can be 24 to 108 inches long, with depths ranging from 24 to 34 inches. The smallest footprint of an undercounter refrigeration unit is usually 24 inches by 24 inches, although these units may have ventilation requirements that prohibit boxing them in on the sides. These units tend to be 30 inches tall to fit under counters.
"The height of undercounter refrigeration systems used in the front of house needs to be [no more than] 34 inches to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements," says Harry Schildkraut, FCSI, principal of S2O Consultants, Inc., based in Hawthorn Woods, Ill.
Undercounter refrigerators typically feature stainless steel construction on the exterior with a choice of aluminum, painted white aluminum, stainless steel and ABS plastic for the interior. Operators can also specify unfinished tops or have them finished with stainless steel or a laminate. Doors may be unlaminated, laminated or glass. These units typically feature foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation.
When purchasing an undercounter refrigeration unit, operators can choose from a variety of features, including automatic condensate vaporizers, automatic defrost, casters, door swing and handle options, self-closing doors and vinyl-coated shelving. Other options include pull out drawers, a backsplash, low-profile casters and a one- or two-tier over shelf assemblies.

Antique Phonographs
When it comes to late 19th- and early 20th-century technological innovations, no individual had a greater impact than Thomas Alva Edison, the Wizard of Menlo Park. For example, Edison invented the world's first machine to record and reproduce sound in 1877. He called his invention a phonograph. In 1878, he patented the device and made about 500 machines before turning his attention to the light bulb. That work would lead to the formation of a little company we know today as General Electric.
Edison's purely mechanical device consisted of a rotating wax cylinder whose grooved surface transmitted sounds through a stylus and into an amplifying horn. Emile Berliner had a better idea. His gramophone, which he patented 10 years after Edison's phonograph, played flat shellac records, which were cheaper to produce than Edison's cylinders and moved from side to side in their groves rather than up and down.
Other late 19th-century luminaries were also interested in the phonograph. In 1885, Alexander Graham Bell's cousin Chichester Bell and an inventor named Charles Sumner Tainter developed the graphophone, which was basically an improved version of Edison's cylinder-based machine. That challenge rekindled Edison's interest in his phonograph. In 1889, he formed the North American Phonograph Company, which became the National Phonograph Company in 1896.
These antique Edison phonographs are highly prized by collectors today. One of the first products offered by National Phonograph was the Edison Home Phonograph, which was a nickel-plated machine in a mahogany case that held wax cylinders, each of which contained about two minutes of music. The Gem was introduced in 1899. Unlike the Home, this model was tiny, with a horn that was bigger than the machine itself.
Meanwhile, the graphophone design had become the basis for the Columbia Phonograph Company, whose leading turn-of-the-century model was the Columbia Eagle. For high rollers, Columbia offered the Graphophone Grand, which cost a whopping $300 in 1898.
Other cylinder manufacturers include Vitaphone, Euphonic, and Ecophone. Also collectible are the cylinders and phonograph attachments made by Gianni Bettini, whose focus was less on the mechanics of coaxing sound from a cylinder than on improving that sound for listeners.
Berliner may have been slower out of the gate than his competitors, but his disc-based machine would prove more enduring, setting the standard for the playback of audio recording...
Berliner eventually lost the right to sell his own invention in the Unites States, so he set up shop in Montreal. In 1900, he registered a painting of a dog listening to "his master's voice" as his company's trademark. "Nipper," as he was known, would become one of the most famous images in the world. Naturally, the Berliner gramophone in the painting would become one of the most collected.
Though Berliner continued to make gramophones and records in Montreal until 1924, it was Eldridge Johnson's Victor Talking Machine Company (1900-1926) that really propelled Berliner's invention into the mainstream and brought the era of the cylinder to a close. By 1910, cylinder players had all but vanished from the marketplace.
One of Victor's key innovations was to get rid of the bulky sound horn, which customers found to be an intrusive presence in their homes. In 1906, the first Victrola was introduced. It basically took the player's sound horn and pointed it toward the floor so that is was hidden within the machine's cabinet. By opening or closing the cabinet's doors, sound volume could be increased or decreased.
The first Victrolas had cabinets manufactured by the Pooley Furniture Company of Philadelphia. They had flat tops, which meant the gramophone was set deep into the cabinet, making use of the gramophone itself awkward. Though the Pooley flat tops are now highly collectible, the domed-top models that followed were more practical to early 20th-century consumers.
Lower-priced tabletop Victrolas followed—by 1913, the company was producing 250,000 tabletops per year, including some new Electrolas that did not require hand cranking but did require access to electricity, which most people still lacked. By 1917, Victrola production topped half a million. Though very popular with customers, Victrolas are less popular with collectors of antique phonographs today, in no small part because there were just so many of them made.
The party for Victor, though, would not last. In the 1920s, increased competition, electrically amplified sound, and, above all, radio all conspired to kill the Victrola, which is why in 1929, the Victor Talking Machine Company was sold to RCA and RCA Victor was born.

Humanity is set to eternity, which means, all of them want to live forever. They want to have all the beauty and blessings forever.
But, they then realize that their life ends without a warning. All the blessings drain and all the beauty slip away from their hands.
Although humans never want to get old, their bodies constantly get worse and older. Although their souls are all young, fresh and dynamic, their bodies lose their ability that they render useless and stripped off of their stamina and quality..
Just when they feel themselves most efficient, they suddenly realize that they lost their youth, health and have consumed all those years without noticing.
There is a reason for people to find this situation strange. The reason is that Allah created humans with an instinct to live forever. The humankind is set to an eternal life. For this reason, they refuse to get worn in time and grow older. It is almost impossible for them to accept and get used to the concept of being consumed to death.
Therefore humankind is set to eternity. This fact alone is one of the most prominent evidence of the Hereafter. It is not possible that this ephemeral world is the only habitat for the human soul, which is set to eternity. In an ephemeral life that is accepted to end with death, it is impossible for a conscious man to live patiently waiting for the death to come. The only thing for a man to live in peace and comfort is to accept and believe in the existence of Allah and an eternal life in Heaven for him.
Allah endowed humans with a variety of expectations and desires as instincts. Feelings such as love, affection, mercy and compassion are created to be satisfied in this ephemeral world. Eternity is in existence as an instinct to be satisfied just like a cute baby or puppy satisfies the mercy and compassion and friendship, love and security are created as necessities. Allah Who put these necessities into humanity, created the fulfilments as well. As the ephemeral world is not the place to satisfy this strong need, it is certain that humans are created for the Hereafter.
This is an obvious and technical reality that humans experience in their very soul which is created for them to comprehend the existence of the Hereafter. Humankind is endowed with the consciousness to know that they are not going to be perished by death and that they are not going to consume their life for an ultimate annihilation in this world. It would be more than enough to realize that just by reflecting upon it for a couple of minutes. Thus, it is certain that the Hereafter is the final desination. And the Hereafter will be the place where humans are imposed into Heaven and Hell. The conclusion that a conscious man should reach by considering this fact is to know that this ephemeral world is a testing place and to devote himself to the Hereafter for Allah' sake. For Heaven will be an eternal life that Allah offered to the believers, in which all the blessings or provide forever, Hell will be a macabre life in which most wicked tortures are experienced and it is no use to repent.
How can you reject Allah, when you were dead and then He gave you life, then He will make you die and then give you life again, then you will be returned to Him? (Surat al-Baqara, 28)2010-03-19 01:31:57

Burma to free hundreds of prisoners before Obama visit
The Burmese authorities say than 452 prisoners will be released in a goodwill gesture, days ahead of a visit by US President Barack Obama.
Political dissidents could be among those freed, but it is not clear how many.
Human rights groups say there are around 300 political prisoners.
Mr Obama's visit, the first by a serving US president, is intended to encourage the government to continue a reform programme begun last year.
Previous amnesties have included a many non-political prisoners.
Some foreign nationals were among those due to be released in the latest amnesty, state media said.
Continuing impunity
The military-led government's reforms have included abolishing pre-publication censorship and passing a law allowing peaceful protest.
The opposition National League for Democracy participated in parliamentary by-elections earlier this year, and swept the board.
Countries which previously had imposed sanctions on Burma have been offering deals on aid and increased trade links in response to the reforms.
However, Mr Obama's decision to make Burma one of his first destinations after being re-elected is being questioned by some critics, who say it is too soon to reward the government for reforms which have just started, the BBC's Jonathan Head reports from Bangkok.
They argue that the repeated promises by President Thein Sein that he will stick to the reformist path will only be credible when all political prisoners have been freed, our correspondent reports.
Dozens more people have been detained this year during various protests, and the Burmese military still acts with impunity in border areas where it is fighting ethnic insurgents, he adds.
On a visit to India earlier this week, opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi sounded a note of caution over the reform process, saying Burma had "not yet achieved the goal of democracy".
Let us hope that real change is beginning!

Hello everyone.
I have decided for reasons of sanity that I would prefer to take the longer, part time CELTA course.
I note that there has been some discussion relating to courses and good information too, but my preference is for a school in Spain. I have sent an email to International House in Seville but they seem a little tardy in responding.
Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks in advance.

The Horatio Alger Collection
The Horatio Alger Collection at Northern Illinois University is the world's most comprehensive collection of materials by this best-selling boys' series writer, numbering over 4,000 volumes. This collection contains most first, hard-cover, soft-cover, and variant editions; serialized titles; manuscripts; letters; and the archives of the Horatio Alger Society. Some of these materials have been digitized, and are available through our Horatio Alger Digital Repository.
The NIU Libraries created this collection from materials already held in other collections shortly after the Horatio Alger Society selected the NIU Libraries as their official repository in 1994. Since then, our holdings have grown through purchases and through donations from members of the Horatio Alger Society. This collection complements our American Popular Literature, Albert Johannsen, Edward T. LeBlanc, Frank Merriwell, and Edward Stratemeyer collections.
