Spotlight on the ultimate aim: the handover, the revenue and the reporting. Specifically, how to effectively use CRM, campaign management, revenue performance management and customer lifecycle marketing.
Find out how IntraLinks built a marketing infrastructure to not only bring in more prospects but also to ensure that those prospects turned into customers. See first-hand how best practices in web design and phone support made a dramatic difference to the top of their funnel. See how platforms like Eloqua and Salesforce can be best leveraged with web technologies, then learn how their measurement strategies not only helped them show marketing team success but also generated an Employee of the Year award.
An important part of any lead management programme includes integrating your marketing automation system with your CRM system. Without it, you can't give sales teams the information they need to prioritise and follow up leads in the funnel. Learn how Eloqua uses the power of this integration to enable their sales force to know which leads to follow up immediately and which leads to track for hidden potential in order to grow their sales pipeline.
Sales and marketing alignment; the theory is simple but the practice is more difficult. This is still a major issue for most organisations and if you achieve this, then hitting your revenue targets is much more easily achieved. The answer could lie in something you have already invested heavily in – your CRM. This session will cover:
- The fundamentals of sales and marketing alignment
- Alignment in the top, middle and bottom of your funnel
- How CRM can underpin this
- Your business before and after
Despite progressing nicely, in terms of maturity and adoption of Social Media, businesses are still very behind when it comes to the adoption of 'internal' Social Business tools. Yet the rate of adoption of technology-based social networking has been transforming politics and social norms on a global scale for the past decade. Will social networking and social software have a similarly transformative effect on business? Can marketers (through Social Business) enable sales forces better? We think so.
In this session we will try to unravel what the main drivers to use Social Business tools are alongside what drives users to participate in social networks in the first place. Whilst at the same time establishing what the internal and external challenges are for marketers and sales teams in this area.
In this presentation, Fergus Gloster explores the sales and marketing processes employed at Marketo and elsewhere to generate explosive growth. Discover best practices, strategies and techniques to drive revenue. Fergus will discuss three key topics around the funnel including:
1.The Combined Sales & Marketing Funnel
2.The ownership of the Funnel
3.The process flow and SLA required for alignment
This session explores a key fundamental in maximizing the potential from marketing activities - the handover of SQLs and hot leads, information, data and intelligence to sales teams to 'close the deal'. If marketers can know 'what good looks like' from their sales colleagues, they'll be much better at aligning content, activities, schedules and messaging to ensure sales-ready leads become a key driver of increased revenue.
Presentations from the day will be available online. We will be in touch with further information.

Additional features include: optical camouflage, making players virtually invisible, new support options via heavily armed ground and air combat drones and single player campaign, co-op and multiplayer play options.
Experience the Future of War
In the escalating political climate of the near future-where strategies on the battlefield must be delicately balanced with maneuvers at the negotiating tablea new breed of soldier has arisen. Trained to be better than the best and outfitted with the most comprehensive array of high-tech gear ever assembled, the future soldier stands apart by his ability to remain undetected. He slips unseen behind enemy lines. He uses the perfect combination of diplomacy and force to achieve his objectives while remaining politically invisible. He is a Ghost. As a member of the elite Ghost Recon, you are among the few who possess the power, the adaptability, and the cognitive fortitude of the future soldier. Specialized in every area of combat, equipped for survival, and trained in absolute discretion, you are entrusted with the missions no other soldier can handle. Armed to the teeth with an arsenal of real-world high-tech weaponry only in prototype today, you are an F-16 on legs, trained to lock on to your objective even in the world's most complex, high-risk war zones.

I thought I would write a review on the product although I have not bought the product from Flipkart. It was an impulse buy I made at a mall when I was out shopping.
1. Interesting campaign with a long storyline.
2. Requires a high level of tactical maneuverability where you have to pick and choose targets carefully unlike Call of Duty or Battlefield which relies more on shooting prowess.
3. High level of weapon customization.
4. Co-op mode akin to Gears of War which makes the gameplay very absorbing.
1. The graphics are not refined. Facial features and terrain are not detailed.
2. The characters are not well developed.
3. The gameplay at some places is a little off but this is a minor irritant.
Overall, its a good buy and a good distraction for all the Call of Duty aficionados.
Visualize this: Saturday, 11:00 am.
You feel fresh and remind yourself that you have two full days ahead of you of nothing but delicious hard-core gaming!
You find yourself reaching for the best PS3 game in your collection, and what does that happen to be? In my case, without a doubt, it has to be Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier!
What makes this game GREAT? Not good, not fun, but absolutely, undeniably and overwhelmingly GREAT?! Let's break it down:
GRFS has an extremely engaging story, that places you, and your "ghost team" in the middle of the action spanning South America, Africa, Asia (Peshawar in Pakistan!!) and then Russia. There are tactical challenges that if unlocked reward you very nicely with weapons and add-ons like scopes, magazines etc. The story line itself is beautifully detailed; for example, when you are in Peshawar, you actually can see Pakistani movie posters, houses the way they'd look in Pakistan, mosques etc. The attention to detail is phenomenal.
The new cover system works flawlessly; graphics are crisp, explosions look and "feel" like explosions (especially with your Sixaxis dual-shock controller), the flash from your gun while in full-auto mode is specific to the type of gun you are firing and is not generic, there is no lagging whatsoever. You can break down and customize your gun completely in "gunsmith" - right from the paint, to the trigger to the underbarrel to the muzzle to the optics!!! Finally, playing on "multi-player" is pure bliss! The 1/2 point deduction is because of "host migration" that happens once-in-a-while that resets the multi-player game, but this is not a deal-breaker.
If you don't feel you are in the middle of a war zone when you're playing this game, you need to upgrade your speakers! Period.
I had pre-ordered this game, and have been playing it religiously every weekend from the time it was released (3 months and counting!) I have completed the storyline on Elite (hardest)difficulty, and for the past 2 months been exclusively on multi-player. There are three classes of future soldiers you can choose from: Scout, Engineer and Rifleman. I first reached Level 50 and unlocked all the goodies playing an "Engineer', then I did the same playing a "Scout", now I am at level 36 on "Rifleman". There are 4 game modes: Conflict, Decoy, Saboteur and Seige. There is also a DLC that you can download for Rs 540, that adds 3 new maps and a new game-play type called "Stockade". Bottomline: The re-playability is simply astounding!
If you like the "shooting" genre (first or third person), then you need to own this game. If you do, and you play multi-player, look me up, my gamer-tag is "Ophidia". Let's put India on the online multi-player map!
Now stop reading and buy the game!
Ghost Recon Future Soldier has brought a radical change to the recent craze over First Person Shooters. Not only is this game very different from those, it turns out to be a good change too.
The game has a very immersive and long campaign that is characterized by a huge amount of tactical gameplay. Providing you with a huge arsenal of futuristic weapon technologies and gadgets, there is no one particular way to play the game and you may opt for a stealthy approach or a head-on firefight as and when you wish. The Gunsmith allows you the most deep customization of a weapon that has ever been seen. The graphics are pretty sharp except for a few texture problems here and there. There are a few AI glitches sometimes but that does not prove to be too big a problem.
Since the game is very new, a few problems are to be expected. Firstly, the online multiplayer modes are usually filled with connection issues. There seem to be a very small number of players online which causes problems. One very big issue that has been faced by players worldwide is that of a 'Yeti Fatal Error'. This error comes up on players screens while the game is loading and closes the game making it unplayable beyond that. Once it shows then it starts appearing every time after that. Although there is no official solution that has been offered by Ubisoft, there is an unofficial one that requires you to delete your save data after which one does not face the problem.
To conclude, I would like to say that this game is a good play for those gamers who would like a break from the usual Call of Duty franchise and would like to try something else that provides a more satisfying experience.
Got this game about a month back and I really have to appreciate
Flipkart for it's timely delivery :)
Really good graphics, sound and gameplay. I am half way through the single player campaign and I am still enjoying every bit of it :)
Yes, installation was indeed frustrating as it takes a really long time to update the game (almost 7 updates, possibly more than 1 GB). Once done, it's big treat !!!
If you cannot launch/update the game using launcher icon, launch it is using futuresoldier.exe icon. This works !!!
Also, there seems to be some frustrating issue for Nvidia GTX series users who run DX11. The game just freezes randomly every few mins and the driver stops responding at some point in the game. The only solution that worked for me is to reduce the core clock on the graphics card to stock settings (my overclocked Asus Nvidia GTX 570 was set to 742 Mhz, had to reduce it to 732 Mhz and also increase voltage to 1.038V). I used MSI Afterburner to do this. Clock speeds and voltages may vary for different cards.
Warning!!! Do this at your own risk and don't fry your card. Ensure you have adequate cooling.
Read in many forums that this was due to a badly coded game and was not fixed even in the latest patch. I am also using the latest Nvidia drivers (314.22).
That's all is needed to go nuke some terrorists !!!
Enjoy :)
Future Soldier is mainly based on tactics and team work.
For example, I can take a gun in Call Of Duty and go around and shoot everybody without team work or in CS (no offense :P) We can take a machine gun and shoot people without any tactics or team work but Future Soldier forces you to think deeply into the tactics of military like which enemy to kill first and which to avoid.
Ghost Recon PROS:
+Nice gameplay and futuristic armory.
+Can customize every weapon.
+Sync Shot.
+Nice story.
Ghost Recon CONS:
-Not so many missions
-Laggy Multiplayer
-PC version buggy
On my view Future Soldier delivers a nice gameplay and puts up a good challenge before the gamer so i would say its obviously that its the best tactical game....

Welcome to the Sunrise Theater!
The Sunrise Theater is one of the pre-eminent entertainment venues in North Carolina. Born as a hardware store in 1898, it morphed into a movie theater in the 1940s. In more recent years it has become a performing arts center, offering multiple arts and Entertainment events for the Sandhills of North Carolina.
SunFlix are The Sunrise Theater's movie events. As one of the most cordial environments in the state, The Sunrise Theater regularly runs full length, first-run, independent movies. First quality films ranging from classic to modern to art nouveau, from romance to drama to action are shown at prices much less than at other theaters. Check our Calendar to find out what's playing.
Met Opera: Live In HD- Sunrise Theater hosts simulcasts live of the Metropolitan Opera from New York's Lincoln Center. Coupled with a world class sound system, you'll feel like you have a front row seat at these events. Enjoy Mozart, Verdi, Wagner and fabulous operas from downtown Southern Pines.
SunEvents are the live musical concerts and community events hosted at Sunrise. Raise The Roof, A Night of Bluegrass, Blues Crawl, First Friday and special concerts series planned throughout the year all fall under the SunEvents umbrella. SunEvents strive to provide outstanding performances to enrich and enliven our community. Proceeds from these entertaining shows benefit Sunrise Theater's various fundraising efforts.
The Annual Blues Crawl is one of our crowning SunEvents. The Sunrise Theater is the center of this "pub-crawl" inspired event that includes a variety of "juke-joint" venues and artists scattered throughout downtown Southern Pines - all within walking distance of The Sunrise. With an all-access wristband sold by Sunrise Theater, participants can sample different Blues musical styles, while enjoying the libations and food of the unique restaurants, wine cellars, and pubs each hosting different bands. Blues Crawl happens the second Saturday of July.
Another popular SunEvent event is the First Friday summer concert series, free concerts held on the Sunrise Preservation Greenspace May through October each year. Bring your blankets or lawn chairs and enjoy a great evening of music that proves to be fun for all ages. Each year's musical lineup is better than the last so you don't want to miss the show. Like all Sunrise events, we serve wine, local beers and other goodies.
In keeping with the longtime, but recently absent, Sunrise Theater tradition of live community theater, SunStage is our newly formed theater department. Currently existing as a temporary, "trial-run" entity, SunStage is gearing up for it's first production set to debut in may of 2013. See our calendar for more information.
These are just a sampling of the entertainment available at the Sunrise Theater. Contact us for a complete listing of events or for sponsorship information.
Whether a guest, volunteer or patron, everyone is welcome at Sunrise Theater. Join us in celebrating the arts and culture in our community. See you at the Sunrise

... a film that should appease fans of the original comic book.
—Misha Davenport Chicago Sun-Times
Please login/register to rate this movie.
Upon hearing the news that the comic book heroes-turned-Saturday morning cartoon sensation-turned movie franchise Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were going to come "from an alien race" in the upcoming Ninja Turtles reboot fans weren't pleased — the popular notion is that the former household pets were transformed by a green ooze. However, Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman has remained steadfastly in favor of the project, urging fans "not to worry" and claiming that the reboot will be true to the "core concept", and "will be a great TMNT film."
"If we learned nothing else from one of my favorite comic book based films, The Avengers, that there's a lot to be said about never forgetting that core concept and core fan-base."
Much has been made online about Eastman comparing Ninja Turtles to The Avengers, which led us to think: "What would happen if the two teams fought each other?" Well, now the time has come inside the imagined cyber octagon that is our Character Cage Match!
Don't just sit there, join the conversation! No need to register to comment, just let us know what you think. Have fun, but please keep it clean and stay on topic — inappropriate remarks will be removed.

UTAS UTS-15, Personal Experience
So I purchased a UTAS UTS-15 12 gauge shotgun almost a month ago and I figured I'd throw together a little thread on how its been so far. (I will update with pictures soon, its night right now and lighting is poor.)
So lets start with construction and quality. The gun itself is made half polymer half steel, now before you start balking at that UTAS did a good job. The polymer is a good sturdy feeling composite and they put some thought into what needs to be steel and what could be lightened with polymer. For example, the main body of the weapon is one thick polymer component and they did a good 1/4" thick wall of polymer to make sure its sturdy. But components like the bolt, slide rail, magazine tubes, top rail are all good ol' steel. The whole gun weighs close to 8lbs unloaded, over all length with the tactical choke installed is about 27.5" long with a 18.5" smootbore barrel. It shoulders rather comfortably for me, but I had one person say they would have liked a longer length of pull (I believe UTAS or perhaps a aftermarket company will come out with thicker pads, if you look at the attached picture it wouldn't be too hard to swap them out.) Trigger pull feels nice and crisp, I have a very solid, smooth pull when firing the weapon. The whole gun feels pretty comfortable when shouldered, my only real complaint has to do with my still getting used to the iron sights. It has an AR Style safety on the left hand side easily switched by the thumb, there is a button for the optional LED Light/Laser combo on the right side that can be engaged with your index finger easily. The LED/Laser combo is still in work by Cree LED I believe, UTAS said I'll get it around the beginning of December. Honestly, construction and quality get good marks in my opinion, its a well thought out and well built gun. (There were some issues with the first batch of weapons, but UTAS has been quick to correct them, I seem to have the superceeded model. They just starte production in the US in July) Loading the UTS-15 can be cumbersome at first, but over time becomes natural, you pop open the loading gates and use your fingernail to push the plunger back into locked position, then load the rounds like a regular shotgun. Final step is to close the loading gate which engages the plunger and applies tension to the rounds. I'm right handed so its become pretty quick for me to load up 7 rounds on the right tube, I'm still practicing a more efficient process for the left tube. The UTS-15 will alternate one round from each tube with the selector in the center, if you wish to isolate the right tube you would push the selector to the left and vice versa. One complaint I have is that the pre-production models had a tab that stuck out for this purpose rather than using the corner of your nail, why it was removed I have no clue. I haven't gotten as much range time as I would have liked due to my schedule more than anything. But I did put 50 Federal 1oz 2 3/4" Slugs through the gun to just get used to operation and target acquisition. The magazine tubes are on top so when its fully loaded it gives a little more weight on the barrel for recoil control. I found actual recoil to be comparable if not a little better in terms of force transferred to the shooter on par with most pump action shotguns; as for recoil control, its not night and day difference, but it is a noticeably easy to control weapon, even firing slugs. The only misfeeds I've had were due to me slowly racking the weapon, when I stopped babying it and did smooth, quick racks I had good results. As I posted in another thread, the Federal Slugs I am shooting seem to get more lead dust on the front of the gun, but it could also be because its an 18.5" barrel. My local outdoor range does not want shotgunners to use anything other than slugs on their range because too many people tore up their stands so I have yet to run some double ought through it yet. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head, I just figured I'd share how the gun's been for me with you guys. Feel free to ask questions and such.

Mine was the "Deluxe" model which came with the Iron Sights, Tactical Choke, and LED Flashlight/Laser combo (which hasn't shipped yet.) With taxes and fees, was about $1700 out the door, the shop I bought from said a bare bones model (no sights, no light/laser, and no tactical choke) was something like $1400-1500 with tax and all.
Its a good chunk of dough, but it seems to be worth it for now. |

No its okay, I included the stock choke tube and the tactical (Optional) to show the difference. If you look at the second post with the torn down pictures you see the tactical and right underneath it the standard one.
I believe the UTS-15 uses a Beretta style thread for the choke tubes, but one member on the bullpup forums said its a special Beretta thread, what ever that means. But there is also an optional 7.5" barrel extension (I don't know if they released it yet...) that will be availible for those that wanna do trap shooting! |

Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MDJay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. GENERIC NAME: ciprofloxacinBRAND NAME: Cipro, Cipro XR, Proquin XRDRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics which includes levofloxacin (Levaquin), ofloxacin (Floxin), gatifloxacin (Tequin), norfloxacin (Noroxin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), trovafloxacin (Trovan) and others. Ciprofloxacin stops the multiplication of bacteria by inhibiting the reproduction and repair of their genetic material (DNA). The FDA approved ciprofloxacin in October 1987. PRESCRIPTION: Yes GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 250, 500, and 750 mg. Tablets extended release (XR): 500 and 1000 mg. Microcapsules for suspension: 250 mg/5 ml, 500 mg/5 ml. Injection or Injection concentrate: 200 and 400 mg. STORAGE: Immediate release tablets: store below 30C (86F). Extended release tablets: store between 15-30C (59-86F). Microcapsules: store below 25C (77F) and protect from freezing. Injection: Store between 5-30C (41-86F) and avoid freezing. PRESCRIBED FOR: Ciprofloxacin is used to treat infections of the skin, lungs, airways, bones, and joints caused by susceptible bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is also frequently used to treat urinary infections caused by bacteria such as E. coli. Ciprofloxacin is effective in treating infectious diarrheas caused by E. coli, Campylobacter jejuni, and Shigella bacteria. DOSING: For most infections the recommended oral dose for adults is 250-750 mg (immediate release tablets) every 12 hours or 500-1000 mg (extended release tablets) every 24 hours. The usual intravenous dose is 200-400 mg every 8-12 hours. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Ciprofloxacin administered together with theophylline can lead to elevated, toxic blood levels of theophylline. Theophylline is used to open airways in the treatment of asthma. Toxic levels of theophylline can lead to seizures, and disturbances in heart rhythm. If concurrent use of ciprofloxacin and theophylline cannot be avoided, frequent blood tests to monitor theophylline blood levels are recommended. Iron salts (for example, ferrous sulfate) may reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin because of formation of a ciprofloxacin-iron complex that is not absorbable. Antacids also may reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin. If patients are receiving iron salts or antacids and ciprofloxacin, the ciprofloxacin should be given two hours before or six ours after the iron salt or antacid. Ciprofloxacin may increase the blood thinning effect of warfarin (Coumadin). The reason for this is unknown. Anticoagulant activity should be monitored after starting or stopping ciprofloxacin. Sevelamer (Renagel) may reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin and possibly reduce the effectiveness of ciprofloxacin. Milk and orange juice also may reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin, as with iron and antacids, should be given two hours before or six ours after milk or orange juice. PREGNANCY: Ciprofloxacin should be avoided in pregnancy, as safe use in pregnant women has not been established. NURSING MOTHERS: Ciprofloxacin should be avoided in nursing mothers, as safe use in pregnant women has not been established. SIDE EFFECTS: The most frequent side effects of ciprofloxacin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, rash, headache, and restlessness. Rare allergic reactions have been described, such as hives and anaphylaxis (shock). Ciprofloxacin should be used with caution in patients with central nervous system diseases such as seizures, because rare seizures have been reported in patients receiving ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin should be avoided in children and adolescents less than 18 years of age, as safe use in these patients has not been established.

Gloves Are Off in U.S. Senate Race
Here's a look back at what happened over the past week in the U.S. Senate race.
It was a very busy week in the race for U.S. Senate. Things started to get heated as the candidates continue to race toward the April 30 primaries. We saw candidates lashing out at party backing, another facing an ethics complaint, new poll numbers, and more. Let's start with the Democrats this week. Democratic candidates Stephen Lynch (D-South Boston) and Edward Markey (D-Malden) will face off in a second debate Monday night in Lowell. If the news of the past week is any indication, it should make for an interesting back and forth between the candidates. Lynch took aim at his party leaders last week for supporting Markey. Lynch told the Boston Herald that the Democratic leaders haven't been fair and told them that he thinks they've done …

For many at Fresno Rescue Mission, an early Thanksgiving feast was more than just a meal. It was a moment of thanks, a moment of worship, and a moment of giving.
"It's really a time to celebrate, allowing a lot of the homeless and people that are in need to be able to come here and partake in a wonderful meal and to celebrate the Thanksgiving that we have," said Fresno Rescue Mission CEO Reverend Larry Arce.
Turkey with all the trimmings was served by volunteers and enjoyed by about 1,000 people who are homeless or in need.
Rebecca Faurbo says it's been a while since she's been able to eat a hot meal. This was her first time celebrating Thanksgiving at the Fresno Rescue Mission.
"Thanksgiving is about counting the blessings we do have, and this is one of the biggest blessings that I can count. These are people who actually love me for me, homeless or not. To these people, it does not matter," said Faurbo.
The Fresno Rescue Mission says its goal is to prepare men, women and children to move forward in a positive way.

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods was on his game, and so were most of the world best golfers Thursday in the Cadillac Championship.
Except for the world's No. 1 player.
Woods made nine birdies on the Blue Monster at Doral for a 6-under 66 that put him in a five-way share of the lead with Masters champion Bubba Watson, former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell, Sergio Garcia and Freddie Jacobson.
This World Golf Championship lived up to its name with Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker and Hunter Mahan among those one shot behind.
But it was another rough day for Rory McIlroy.
He hit only three fairways and made six bogeys that kept him at par or worse on a perfect day for scoring. Despite making a 15-foot eagle putt on the par-5 first hole, and lacing a 5-iron over the water for another eagle attempt on the par-5 eighth that narrowly missed, the best he could manage was a 73.
McIlroy has yet to break par this year.
"It was a bit of a struggle, to be honest," McIlroy said to Sky Sports. "Hit some good shots. Hit some not-so-good shots. As I've been saying all week, this is a work in progress and I'm working at it and I'm staying patient."
He declined to speak to reporters, grabbing a quick lunch and smiling at screaming fans who wanted his autograph as he headed to the practice range.
McIlroy played alongside Woods and Luke Donald — Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in the world — and while this essentially is a home game for Woods having won three times at Doral, the occasional shouts of "You're the real No. 1, Tiger" rang true. Continued...
Coming off a pedestrian performance a week ago at the Honda Classic, Woods looked sharp in most aspects of his game, except for a few lapses with his chipping. He wasted two early birdies with a three-putt bogey on the 13th hole and a delicate flop shot that he flubbed on the 14th, leading to another bogey. His chip up the slope on the third didn't reach the green for another bogey.
That's all that was wrong.
He holed two long birdie putts, including a sliding, slippery putt from about 40 feet on the par-3 fourth hole, and missed four reasonable chances inside 15 feet. His final birdie was on the par-5 eighth, when he had to lay up from a fairway bunker and hit a wedge that stopped 2 feet from the hole.
"It was certainly a day that could have been a little lower," said Woods, who was selected for random drug testing after his round.
Just about everyone could say that in these conditions.
Garcia and McDowell were in the same group. Not only did they have bogey-free rounds, both birdied the same four holes. Jacobson made two eagles in a span of three holes, both times hitting a 5-wood onto the green to just over 12 feet.
Watson played in the group with Mickelson and Stricker, and they were a collective 16-under par.
Stricker had a chance to tie for the lead except he missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the final hole. Mickelson, as usual, kept it entertaining. He pulled his tee shot on the 17th hole and his ball stopped rolling after it traveled some 450 yards. He purposely took a free drop on the cart path to avoid the rough, and chipped that to about 5 feet for birdie.
"You hit the ball in as much trouble as I do off the tee, you learn to hit those kinds of shots and have enough practice at it," he said. "I knew what was going to happen."
Woods atop the leaderboard is enough to create enough buzz to drown out the jetliners over Doral as they approach Miami International Airport. On this day, there was just as much curiosity about the 23-year-old McIlroy and the state of his game, not to mention what's going on inside his head. Continued...
The pressure of changing equipment and backing up a big year that made him No. 1 in the world got the best of him last week at the Honda Classic, when he walked off the course without finishing his ninth hole of the second round.
McIlroy apologized during a press conference Wednesday, said it would never happen again and wanted to get back to being happy on the golf course. There weren't many smiles, though he often chatted with Woods as they walked down the fairway.
He didn't hit a fairway on the front nine (he started on No. 10), though two of those shots were in the first cut and led to birdie. But as much time as he has spent trying to rediscover that easy, balanced swing, it was clear he has neglected his short game. On the second hole, he had an 80-foot putt that he left 20 feet short.
"It was nice to sneak in a couple birdies on the last three holes and make it look somewhat respectable, even though everyone seems to be going pretty low out there today," McIlroy said.
Woods played two rounds with him at Abu Dhabi to start the year, and they were frequent playing partners during the FedEx Cup playoffs last year. Woods said McIlroy looked "just a little bit defensive" with his swing.
"That happens, and we have all gone through stretches like this," Woods said. "It happens, and it happened to him last year in the middle of the year, and ended up all right at the end of the year. When you play golf for a very long time, you're going to have spells like this. You can't play well every week, even though you try. You're going to have ups and downs, and just got to battle through it."
For everyone else, it wasn't much of a battle in the opening round with a gentle breeze and warm sunshine. The fairways were firm and running fast, allowing the Blue Monster to play shorter. The average score was 70.8, and only 16 players in the 65-man field were over par.
"This course is playing pretty firm, so if you hit it in the fairway, it's not going to be a ton of long shots," Jacobson said. "Tough thing is if you're in the rough, you don't get any control on the ball from this grass. It makes it really difficult to stop the ball, and if you miss the green, it's pretty tricky around here."

Please rank Prospect Draft results!
Ahoy Dobberites,
Back in September a group of us set up a new H2H league, and held our League draft and prospect draft. Players that had yet to play an NHL game were only allowed to be drafted in the Prospect draft, along with any other prospects who had played under 20 NHL games (players must graduate to Pro team after 20 NHL games) and remained after the main draft was complete. League settings are: 12 team H2H, Start 4C, 4LW, 4RW, 6D, 2G. Skaters: G, A, PIM, FOW, ATOI, SOG, Hits, BLKs, STP, Dpts. Goalies: W, SV, GAA, SV% Would love some feedback as to how my prospect squad fared in comparison to some of the other groups drafted. No hockey is making me.. something something.. so I thought I'd post this now! I've listed each teams' prospects, along with the round each prospect was drafted in. Draft list is in order, we used a snake draft since this was the inaugural draft. Team 1 1. Nail Yakupov 2. Jacob Trouba 2. Andrei Vasilevski 3. Tom Wilson 4. Slater Koekkoek 5. Peter Holland 6. Vladimir Namestinkov 7. Alexander Khochlachev Team 2 1. Justin Schultz 2. Brandon Gormley 3. Stan Galiev 4. Brock Nelson 5. Sami Vatenen 6. Brendan Gallagher 7. Mark Visentin Team 3 1. Alex Galchenyuk 2. Jakob Silfverberg 3. Malcolm Subban 4. Viktor Fasth 5. Damian Brunner 6. Ben Scrivens 7. Calle Järnkrok Team 4 1. Mathew Dumba 2. Radek Faksa 3. Scott Laughton 4. Tanner Pearson 5. Sebastian Collberg 6. Rocco Grimaldi 7. Brady skjei My Team 1. Filip Forsberg 2. Nick Bjugstad 3. Ty Rattie 4. Mark Barberio 5. Drew Shore 6. Scott Glennie 7. J.T. Miller Team 6 1. Morgan Rielly 2. Jonas Brodin 3. Anton Khudobin 4. Mark Stone 5. Trevor Smith 6. Edward Pasquale 7. Matt Fraser Team 7 1. Jack Campbell 2. Niklas Jensen 3. Joe Morrow 4. Oscar Klefbom 5. Eddie Lack 6. Jamie Oleksiak 7. Brendan Gaunce Team 8 1. Ryan Murray 2. Hampus Lindholm 4. Cory Conacher 5. Michael Hutchinson 6. Patrick Maroon 7. Derrick Pouliot Team 9 1. Mikhail Grigorenko 3. Nathan Beaulieu 3. Joel Armia 4. Scott Wedgewood 5. Jared Knight 6. Mark Pysyk 7. Kyle Beach Team 10 1. Teuvo Teravainen 2. Cody Ceci 3. Oscar Dansk 4. Henrik Samuelsson 5. Robin Lehner 6.

Zemgus Girgensons 3. Nick Cousins 4. Tomas Jurco 5. Michael Houser 6. Martin Frk 7. Dalton Thrower I have the strongest goal-tending in the league, and would rank my D in the top 3 in the league as well, thus I tried to target mainly forwards. I know a lot of people prefer to draft BAP, and that's why I wanted some feedback on the results! Sorry this became pretty long, but I would appreciate any thoughts/comments/criticisms from the community. Thanks, Smurf
In Salary Cap league, Cap manages you! |
Curious to know if the order you listed the players corresponds to how they were drafted (eg. Did you select 5th overall and was Rattie your 3rd pick). If that's the case then someone spent the 7th overall on Campbell but Lehner dropped to the 5th round.....I really hope this wasn't the case.
I'd love to comment more but want to make sure I understand the draft order because there are some real curiosities mixed in there. |
I'm curious about the mere 20 game limit for prospects before they have to be graduated to the pros. It would seem to me that you are setting yourselves up for failure in this regard. It doesn't take much time for a player to reach 20 games and could easily find himself sent back to the minors for a few years thereafter. You are either going to have several teams carrying a lot of dead weight or you are going to have a lot of good prospects on the waiver wire.
In my experience the point of farm teams is to reward patience and foresight. By putting a 20-game cap on things you eliminate both patience and foresight and create a free-for-all type scenario with prospects that I imagine you were trying to avoid. In my leagues we allow for players to be cycled up and down between the farm team and the pros up until a certain games played cap upon which time the player can no longer be cycled. If you want to keep the player on the farm you can keep him there for eternity but once you call him up after the games played cap is reached then he must stay up. It's a little wrinkle that helps keep prospects like Kadri, Niederreiter, Kassian, Adam, Boychuk, Pirri, Ellis, Elliott, and Blum from becoming waiver fodder until someone gets lucky enough to pick them up at the right time. Under your system the best prospects are probably going to be goaltenders since they take the longest to reach their games played cap so whoever has the best goalie prospects under your system is probably sitting the prettiest.

Sorry, I should've been more clear as to how the numbers beside each player related to their draft position. The number beside each player is the Round they were drafted. Using my team as an example: 1. Filip Forsberg (Drafted round 1, I drafted 5th, so he was taken 5th overall) 2. Nick Bjugstad (2nd round, snake draft, so taken 20th overall) 3. Ty Rattie (3rd round, 29th overall) 4. Mark Barberio (4th round, 44th overall) 5. Drew Shore (5th, 53rd overall) 6. Scott Glennie (68th overall) 7. J.T. Miller (77th overall) Teams are listed in the order they drafted. Example: Team 1 drafted: Yakupov T2: Schultz T3: Galchenyuk T4: Dumba Me(5): Forsberg etc
In Salary Cap league, Cap manages you! |
My rankings are as follows.
Team 1: Not sure how he pulled this off, but this guy dominated the draft IMO. Team 3: Drafted a nice mix of goaltending and forwards, somewhat surprised he didn't take a D. Your team: Your top three are pretty darn solid, but I'm interested in exactly where you took Barberio. He lacks big time upside, however he should be a quality NHL dman (seems like a Giordano type). Team 11: Lots of intriguing prospects with high upside, pretty good draft IMO. Team 2: If this manager needed D, he drafted three guys with huge upside in Vatanen, Schultz and Gormley. Plus he grabbed Galiev and Gallagher as well, nicely done. Team 8: The Hutchison pick is interesting, but I like all the other players this particular team drafted. Team 10: Two potential stud goalies and a bunch of other prospects that are highly regarded, good stuff. Team 7: Oleksiak is a bit questionable, but every other prospect drafted is pretty darn good. Team 12: Lots of potential studs in this particular format, not sure I like the Houser pick so much though. Team 9: Armia's stock is falling, but I like all the other prospected this team drafted. Team 4: Interesting group, I like Dumba a lot but he has several "wait and see" prospects. Team 6: He did well the Rielly and Brodin picks, but seemed to fall apart after that. I mean, Trevor Smith? That made me laugh a bit. He lacks depth, but has two potential studs with very high ceilings. To me, it seems like there are a lot of good prospects left. Are you able to sign and release prospects at all in your league?

I believe so. Who did you have in mind?
In Salary Cap league, Cap manages you! |
I think you did well, as your first 3 are solid. You could have grabbed Grigorenko over Forsberg arguably, but getting Bjugstad and Rattie where you did was very nice. Would have taken Nelson or Holland over Barberio personally. Didn't like the Glennie pick as there are a number of guys there that I would have preferred, but who knows, maybe you caught lightning in a bottle. Overall I think you and Teams 1 and 3 had the best draft.
For one thing, where are guys like Baertschi, Huberdeau, Markstrom, Granlund, Hamilton, Zibanejad, Schwartz, Kreider and Strome?
I would like to think they are owned in your league from a previous prospect draft or something, but I'm not sure. I'll give you some names of prospects that probably should be owned in your league. Why didn't anyone draft Hertl? He should be picked up immediately. -Nieto (SJ) -Smith (DET) -Holtby (probably owned as well) -Coyle -Ellis -Scheifele -Rundblad -Murphy -Merrill -Nyquist

This left players like Silfverberg (dear god I hope I'm spelling his name right!), Schultz, and a few other anomalies available in the Prospect draft. So yes, most of those players you listed were taken, with the exception of Hertl, Nieto, and Merrill. Would you drop Glennie or Miller for any of them?
In Salary Cap league, Cap manages you! |
I would drop Glennie for Hertl right away. But if you like Glennie more than Miller then I would drop Miller for Hertl. I'm high on him.

I'm just working on that pic and keep wondering about two things: first: does she have pointy ears and is her hair black or white. I just can't remember.Once it is finished (I only have the pencil drawing at the moment) I will post it here.If there is anything else special about her tell me. Her armor is far more spikier and mightier than on that other one I entered into the Rite-contest.
I should have a document at home containing all the details I have been able to find about her. I'll try to remember to post them here.yalahii.
because if anyone knows about porcupines, it's Sahi. ::nod::
Can't find it right now. (And I have to go to work) Had a meeting last night and thus no time. Have fencing tonight. So I will search for the file, but it may take a while.Yalahii.
I'll be home tomorow, and before that I can't work on the pic very well, so don't stress yourself.For the background I thought of some field of those black roses. Gonna take me hours for sure ;P
Black roses sound nice, but a word of advice: Photoshop! ;)Yalahii.
That sounds really cool.-X
I'll do everthing beyond sketching with Photoshop, but I won't do any copy-pasting stuff with those roses. There is fog, so not far to see anyway, and those in the front have to be induviduals flowers.
It's a bit longer than I thought, but here it is:
She does not make her dwelling in Qul-na-Qar, although she has long claim to a place of honor there, by her blood and her deeds � and by deeds of blood as well. Instead she makes her home on a high ridgetop in the mountains called Reheq-s'lai, which means Wanderwind, or something close to it. Her house, although large enough to cover most of the ridge, is a dull thing from most angles, as is the lady herself. Only when the sunlight is in the right quarter and a watcher's face turned just so can crystal and skystone be seen gleaming among the dark wall-stones. The house cuts deep into the rock, with many rooms below the light of day and a profusion of tunnels extending beyond them like the roots of an old, old tree. The windows are always shuttered, or seem that way. Her servants are silent and she seldom has visitors.Some of the younger Qar, who have heard of her madness for privacy but of course have never seen her, call her Lady Porcupine. Others who know her better cannot help shuddering at the accidental truth of the name � they have seen how in moments of fury a nimbus of prickly shadow flickers about her, a shroud of phantom thorns.Her granted name is Yasammez, but few know it. Fewer still speak to her. Her true name is known to only one living.The lady's high house is called Shehen, which means "Weeping." Because it is a s'a-Qar word, it means other things, too � it carries the intimation of an unexpected ending, and a suggestion of the scent of the plant that in the Sunlight Lands is called myrtle � but more than anything else, it means "Weeping".* * *She stands in her garden of low, dark plants and tall gray rocks whose twisted shapes are like terrified dreamers and looks out over her steep lands. The wind is fierce, as ever, wrapping her cloak tightly around her, blowing her hair loose from the bone pins that hold it, but it is not strong enough to disperse the mist lurking in the ravines which gouge the hillside below like claw-scratches. Still, it blows loudly enough that even if any of her pale servants were standing beside her, they would not be able to hear the very ancient song Lady Yasammez is humming, nor would they even believe their mistress might do such a thing.A voice speaks in her ear and the old song abruptly stops. She does not turn because she knows the voice comes from no one in the stark garden or high house. Secretive, angry, and silent as she is, Yasammez knows this voice almost better than she knows her own the only voice that ever calls her by her true name.It calls that name again now."I hear, o my heart," says Lady Porcupine, speaking without words."I must know.""It has already begun," the mistress of the ridgetop house replies, but it stabs her to hear such disquiet in the thoughts of her beloved, her great ruler, the single star in her dark, cold sky. This is the time for wills to become stony. "All has been put into motion. As you wished. As you commanded.""There is no turning back, then."It almost seems a question, but Yasammez knows it cannot be. "No turning back," she agrees."So, then. In the full raveling of time we will see what new pages will be written in the Book.""We shall." She yearns to say more, to ask why this sudden semblance of weakness in the one who is not just her ruler but her teacher as well, but the words do not come; she cannot form the question even in the silence of shared thought. Words have never been friends to Yasammez; in this, they are like almost everything else beneath the moon or sun."Farewell, then. We will speak again soon. You have my gratitude."Then Lady Porcupine is alone again with the wind and her thoughts, her strange, bitter thoughts, in the garden of the house called Weeping.She rides down out of Shehen on her great black horse, letting the animal pick its way down the narrow hill paths with scarcely a tug on the rein, although in places the drop is so great that it is hard even to see the birds flying below her. Yasammez has no need for haste. Her thoughts are traveling before her, winged messengers faster than any bird, swifter even than the wind.She descends from the hills and turns toward the oldest lands and the greatest city of all, which stands on the shores of the black ocean just outside the great northern circle of frost and ice. There are Qar-folk living in the northernmost lands beyond Qul-na-Qar, strange ones who walk in that permanent darkness, but they have lived apart for so long that most of them have little to do with the rest of their race any more. They scarcely even think about the lost southern lands, for they never lived there, and thus of all the Twilight People they have suffered the least at the hands of the enemy. They will not serve Yasammez: she must muster her armies from Qul-na-Qar and the lands that lie south of it, all the way down to the Shadowline.The northerners may not care, but those who live below the icy lands do. As Yasammez rides, they come up from the cavern towns of Qirush-a-Ghat, which means Firstdeeps, and out from the forest villages in the great dark woods to see her pilgrimage. The starlight dancers pause and grow silent on the hilltops as she passes. Those who do not know her � for it has been long since Yasammez left her house at Shehen � know only that one of the great powers is passing, and although they fear and respect such might, they do not cheer her, but watch in troubled silence. Those of the Qar who do recognize her of old are divided, because they all know that where Lady Porcupine goes, she is blown on winds of war and blood. Some return to their families or villages to tell them that bad weather is coming, that it is time to put away what is needful and strengthen the walls and gates. Others follow her road in a quiet but growing crowd, their numbers swelling behind her like bride's train. They know that the bridegroom to whom she goes is death, and that her husband and master will not be careful of who he takes, but they follow her anyway. Centuries of anger and fear push them together, clench them like a fist.Yasammez is the blade that fist has raised before. Now it will be raised again.* * *Her arrival throws Qul-na-Qar into confusion. By the time she rides through the great leaning gates at the head of a silent flock of Qar-folk, the ancient citadel has already broken apart into camps, into her fanatical supporters and equally fanatical opponents, and a party larger than those two put together whose only shared philosophy is resistance to either extreme, a willingness to wait and see the shape that time takes. But none of this is obvious, and to the casual eye � if there were such a thing in this place � the great capital would seem to move in its usual deceptively calm way, its immemorial ordered disorder.The servitors of Yasammez within Qul-na-Qar, some of whom have been born into that service since the last time she has visited the city, have scurried to air out her chambers on the sprawling castle's eastern side, heaving up the shutters and opening the windows for the first time in decades to the chill winds from the ocean and the ceaseless noise of its movement, moaning night and day like the breathing of a vast animal. Everywhere they rush to make things ready for their mistress, for this is a day that all know will someday form a chapter in the Book of Regret.But as she makes her way through the Hall of the Gate, passing beneath its living sculptures without an upward glance, she is surrounded not only by her own minions but by all the dark city's excitement-seekers as well � those bright-eyed ones who dabble in the showier magicks, others who pass their time refining the arts of war and the arts of courtship until they are scarcely distinguishable from each other, all the planners of secret campaigns and delvers of forgotten secrets. The believers surround her too, all those who have yearned for a voice to echo forcefully their own talk of catastrophe, to satisfy their yearnings for an all-smothering doom, now come singing and calling out questions, some in languages that even Yasammez herself does not speak. But she pays none of them any attention, and passes instead from the Hall of the Gate to the Hall of Black Trees, then on through many more, the Hall of Silver Bones, the Hall of Weeping Children, the Hall of Gems and Dust. She stops outside the Mirror Hall but does not go in, even though the blind king and silent queen wait behind the doors, aware of her coming since before she even left her high house.Instead she tells the robed and masked servitor who guards the entrance, "Outside the gate there are thousands of our race who have followed me here from the countryside. See that they are well-treated. Soon I will speak to them."The masked figure does not reply, but bows. Yasammez turns away from the Mirror Hall and makes her way to her old chambers overlooking the sea and the dark twilight sky. The crowd that has gathered inside Qul-na-Qar and followed her through the halls like ants through a rotting tree are left to stand, to wait, to stare at each other in glee or shame or madness, and eventually to disperse.It does not matter. There will be a time for all of them, Yasammez knows.* * *She has donned her plate armor. The black spikes cover it like the quills of her namesake, a dark bristling that is obscured but not hidden by her cloak. Her head is bare: she has set her featureless helmet on the table beside her, as though, like a favored pet, she wishes it to watch the proceedings.Seven other figures sit at the round table in Lady Porcupine's chamber. It is dark in the room, only a single candle burning, the flame a-tremble before the open windows, but Yasammez and her allies do not need to see each other.Some of what they say is spoken, some passes only in shared thought."Eats-the-Moon, what of the Changing tribe?"
Thanks Sahi!I'll post the pic here once it's finished of course ^_^

Although Anson High School's men's basketball team lost 92-90, coach Brandon Rains is looking forward to the rest of the season and is proud of his team for its near-recovery during the game. "I was proud of the team effort," Rains said after the game.
The team was down by about 15 in the first half of the game, but fought back and was ahead by halftime, ultimately barely losing by a score of 92-90.
Although Rains said he was proud of the entire team, a few players really stood out, he said. "Bunyon Tyson had 41 points and led us in scoring," Rains said. "Baron Murray had 16 points, Will Smith added 14, Stephen Minter had 10 and Devonta Teal had 12 rebounds — he played really hard. I was also really impressed with Will Smith's defensive effort." The boys were "outstanding," according to Rains. "I see a lot of potential in these guys. It's a real pleasure to coach these guys.
"This was a process, a journey: a new coach getting a feel of the team," Raines continued. "I just want to build on what we have established and get better every day, every game, especially defensively. We really want to come together as a team."
The team's next game was supposed to be Dec. 4 but was rescheduled for Dec. 9, making their next game a home game on Dec. 7 versus Central Cabarrus at 6 and 7:30 p.m.

3 Meetup Groups match "cartography" near Sykesville, MD
This is a meetup group for those in the DC area who like maps, GIS, OpenStreetMap, cartography and anything in between. Started out of June 2011's WhereCamp DC, this group aims to keep the DC geo enthusiasts connected to each other for learning and socializing and probably some drinking. You can follow us on twitter at @geo_dc, and join our Google Group where we have discussion and post announcements between meetups.
This is a group for amateur and professional drone users committed to promoting the use of flying robots for recreational, humanitarian, and artistic purposes. We get together as a community to share tips, experiences, and of course to do some flying. Let's learn from each other and have some fun. All experience levels are welcome.
This is a place to tell stories about change in place over time, and to get involved in the nascent MapStorytelling community. Along the way, we'll connect folks across a range of professional interests and fields, and spark new ways of thinking and acting for the common good.
Get an alert email when new Meetup Groups like this start near you.
You'll get advice, help finding members, and tools to make running a Meetup Group easier.

Here is my process. I click on a form that allows me select a class to register a student. I enter the student's name and then I want to print a receipt. On the receipt, I want it to transfer the class information (which appears in subform) and the student information. All I need to do next is to print the receipt.
It is raining cats and dogs in SC and I believe it has impaired my thinking. It should not be hard to do this....I just can't seem to get it to click today.
