Not Sure What To Do With Your Life?
If you're not sure of what kind of work to seek, beginning with a Self-Assessment of your interests, values and skills can help you make choices and broaden your career plans particularly if you're transitioning from one job, or place in your life, to another. The spiral staircase in the adjacent picture is a metaphor for your career or life. Each new decision you make concerning your career, finding a new job, or giving greater attention to situations in your life, advances you a step further ahead in your life.
There are many assessment tools available online and at the Career Center to help you identify your, interests, values, skills and personality traits.
Interest inventories help you to identify a career by observing consistent patterns of interest. Exploration of your interests helps with choosing careers that are rewarding.
Value surveys are useful because our values are central to every career decision. As you make decisions about entering a particular career, identify the values that are important to you. A values clarification exercise can help you rate & prioritize the importance of each value.
Personality inventories help you identify your unique personality profile. Your personality preferences will help determine what environment is a good fit for you. The most commonly used personality type instruments are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Self Directed Search (SDS). Both of these inventories are offered by the Career Center.
Skill inventories help identify the skills you need to acquire as well as the skills you can transfer to a new career. Are you using your skills and abilities in a satisfying way? There are several types of skills to assess.
There are also free assessment instruments on the web, in books and at the Career Center. Free O'Net inventories are available at www.mass.gov/dwd.

Public Beta of Mandrill SMTP Email Service
Update (3/16/16): Mandrill is now an add-on for paid monthly MailChimp accounts, and is no longer available as a standalone service. Existing Mandrill users have until April 27, 2016 to merge their Mandrill account with a MailChimp account. See this article for additional details, including pricing information and instructions for merging your accounts.
About a year ago, we launched STS – a transactional email service built on top of Amazon SES. In that time, we've seen the integration grow to a moderate success, now sending on average over 100,000 messages every day. While we're happy with the cool things people have built on top of our integration, we've received a ton of requests from customers for features that we felt we really couldn't accomplish on top of a limited platform like Amazon's. We've also spent years building a world-class platform for email delivery and analytics, so the devs were constantly saying "why don't we use this platform to build an email service that's MailChimp through-and-through?" That thought turned into a prototype labs project called Mandrill which we are excited to announce has graduated to public beta.
At its core, Mandrill is similar in functionality to our STS integration, but using the same optimized delivery engine that MailChimp uses for the delivery of our bulk newsletters – slightly modified for one-to-one email. You still need to be a programmy nerd to use it, so if you're not comfortable with code and APIs, you'll need to find someone who is before you get started using Mandrill.
What Mandrill does:
- Uses MailChimp's awesome email delivery engine
- Has a simple and powerful API
- Allows simple sending directly using SMTP
- Tracks opens and clicks
- Automatically adds Google Analytics tracking data to your URLs
- Has pretty, visual reports of your email results
- Allows you to tag your messages and see your stats filtered by tag
- Integrates with MailChimp's templating system, letting you export your MailChimp templates to Mandrill and use them in your transactional emails
What's next?
We think Mandrill is an interesting addition to the MailChimp platform, but it's far from finished. Now that we have an SMTP email platform that's entirely MailChimp, we can move faster and do more to make Mandrill a compelling and necessary part of your email world. So if there's something Mandrill doesn't do that you need, please let us know. Just to whet your appetite, here's something that our Mobile Lab has been working on:

We analyze the propagation of electromagnetic modes guided by periodic plasmonic structures. We use full-wave solutions of Maxwell equations to calculate dispersion of these modes and derive analytical description of their optical properties. Finally, we demonstrate that, at a certain frequency range that can be controlled by the geometry, diffraction of these guided states is strongly suppressed, leading to formation of low-diffraction beams. A beaming phenomenon, consistent with earlier experiments, can be used as the foundation for on-chip communication or microscopy.

Hedy Lamarr was a major MGM star in the early 1940s. Among her movies at the studio were I Take This Woman, Boom Town, Comrade X, Ziegfeld Girl, and White Cargo. Her co-stars included Spencer Tracy, Robert Taylor, Clark Gable, William Powell, and Walter Pidgeon. As the decade came to a close, Lamarr had her biggest box office hit: Cecil B. DeMille's Paramount release Samson and Delilah, starring Victor Mature.
After her movie stardom had faded, Lamarr was involved in a few bizarre incidents. In 1965, she was arrested in Los Angeles for shoplifting. Though later cleared of all charges, she lost a small role in the B movie Picture Mommy Dead because of that incident. Zsa Zsa Gabor replaced her.
Curiously, there would be another shoplifting charge in Florida in 1991, this time for $21.48 worth of laxatives and eye drops. Lamarr's attorney explained that the shoplifting was actually a case of absentmindedness: Lamarr, 77, had been shopping with two other friends, and had in fact paid for the other items she had bought at the store. She could have contested the (absurd) charges, but preferred to plead "no contest" so she would not have to appear in court and face a barrage of tabloid reporters.
Through her attorney, the quite wealthy former actress promised she would refrain from breaking any laws for a year, and the charges were dropped. Rumors that Hedy Lamarr was a kleptomaniac seem to have absolutely no basis in reality.
Another latter-day curiosity: Lamarr filed a $21 million lawsuit against ghostwriters Leo Guild and Sy Rice. She alleged that they had turned her autobiography, the highly readable Ecstasy and Me: My Life As a Woman (1966), into a book that was "fictional, false, vulgar, scandalous, libelous, and obscene."
Check out q&a with author Patrick Agan, who knew Hedy Lamarr, and my brief review of the documentary Calling Hedy Lamarr.
Apparently in her sleep, Hedy Lamarr died of "natural causes" at the age of 85 on January 19, 2000, in a suburb of Orlando, Florida.

The Next Chapter
New HSI campaign aims to protect rhinos
by Catherine Vincenti
Does a children's book hold the key to saving rhinos from extinction?
Teresa Telecky hopes it's a first step.
"By stopping demand for rhino horn, we will save rhinos," explains Telecky, wildlife director for Humane Society International, which wrote, produced, and distributed 5,000 copies of I'm a Little Rhino to schoolchildren in Vietnam. The book is designed to educate children and in turn their families, asking them to pledge never to use or buy rhino horn.
The project is part of a three-year campaign recently launched by HSI and the government of Vietnam to reduce poaching of endangered rhinos, who are dying at the rate of two per day. Authorities there turned to HSI for help after being identified as the world's largest consumer of rhino horn.
The horn has long been used as a traditional medicine in Asia based on the cultural belief that it improves overall health. In 2007, a rumor spread throughout Vietnam that rhino horn also cured cancer, significantly driving up demand. A recent public opinion survey suggests that only a small percent of the Vietnamese population buys or uses the illegal product, but even 2 percent of a population of 92 million means 1.8 million people.
Don't Buy Wild: Pledge to avoid the illegal wildlife trade »
"If you added up all the living rhinos [from all five species] today, you would probably come up with a figure of about 25,000," says Telecky. "Twenty-five thousand is never going to be enough to satisfy the demand from millions of people. So that's why this work that we are doing in Vietnam is so important."
The campaign will also look to key stakeholders—the 13 million members of the Vietnam Women's Union, plus Vietnamese business leaders, university students, and medical practitioners—to help spread the message that there is no scientific evidence that consuming rhino horn benefits health. In fact, just the opposite may be true; some wildlife managers in South Africa are infusing the horns with chemicals that make people very ill if ingested.
In 2012, Dr. Will Fowlds treated two South African rhinos who were left to die after having their horns brutally hacked off. Themba drowned in a water hole 24 days later, too weak to climb out. But Thandi ultimately survived, and one evening Fowlds unexpectedly came face-to-face with the untranquillized rhino while out checking on her whereabouts.
With every reason to consider a human her enemy, Thandi merely snorted and huffed before walking off into the bush. "She touched my heart," Fowlds says, "and caused me to wonder how much more we still have to learn from these animals."

Where can I find a mulberry silk nightgown?
Buying nightwear is something that everyone will have to do at some point in their lives. And while most people consider sleeping in undwear and a t-shirt the best nightwear options, there are other great nightwear sets to choose from.
For a long time, I was one of those people that would rather sleep in a pair of shorts and a tank top. Then one year, my grandma purchased a mulberry silk nightgown for me for my birthday.
I decided to wear it when I went on vacation later that month and I have been obsessed with it ever since. I even bought a dozen more mulberry silk nightgowns so that I could have one to sleep in every night. I only wash clothes once a week, so trust me when I say I needed a dozen mulberry silk nightgowns.
Where Grandma Purchased My Nightgown
When I began looking to buy more mulberry silk nightgowns, I had no idea where I should even began to look for them at. Since I loved the first mulberry silk nightgown that my grandma bought me so much, I decided that I would ask here where she got mine from.
That is when I learned about Lavender's Luxuries. I couldn't believe my eyes when I seen all of the different styles and colors of the mulberry silk nightgowns that were available.
So of course that is where I ended up ordering all of my mulberry silk nightgowns from. Lavender's Luxuries is defiantly the best place to find mulberry silk nightgowns in many different styles, colors, and even sizes!

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that removes fat from many different sites on the human body. The most popular treatment areas include buttocks, neck, chin (submental), face, arms, abdomen, thighs, hips, love handles (flanks).
The basic surgical challenges of any liposuction procedure are to remove the right amount of fat, to cause the least disturbance of neighboring tissue, such as blood vessels and connective tissue, to leave the person's fluid balance undisturbed and to cause the least discomfort to the patient.
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells and can alter body shape. However, the remaining fat cells can grow, so weight loss is not necessarily permanent, especially if you eat an unhealthy diet and don't exercise after the surgery.
Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity, and it will not remove cellulite or stretch marks. There is a limit to the amount of fat that can safely be removed.
The procedure generally last between 30 and 90 minutes depending on the area(s) covered. Liposuction is usually carried out under general anesthetic. If it is only a small area being treated then local anesthesia may be used.
In general, fat is removed via a cannula (a hollow tube) and aspirator (a suction device). Liposuction techniques can be categorized by the amount of fluid injection and by the mechanism in which the cannula works:
1) Suction-assisted liposuction (SAL)
Suction-assisted liposuction is the standard method of liposuction. In this approach, a small cannula (like a straw) is inserted through a small incision. It is attached to a vacuum device. The surgeon pushes and pulls it in a forwards and backwards motion, carefully through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and drawing them out of the body by suction.
2) Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL)
In ultrasound-assisted or ultrasonic liposuction, a specialized cannula is used which transmits ultrasound vibrations within the body. This vibration bursts the walls of the fat cells, emulsifying the fat (i.e. liquefying it) and making it easier to suction out. UAL is a good choice for working on more fibrous areas, like the upper back or male breast area. It takes longer than traditional liposuction, but not longer than tumescent liposuction. There is slightly less blood loss. There appears to be slightly more risk of seromas forming (pockets of fluid) which may have to be drained with a needle.
After ultrasonic liposuction, it is necessary to perform suction-assisted liposuction to remove the liquefied fat.
3) Power-assisted liposuction (PAL)
PAL uses a specialized cannula with mechanized movement, so that the surgeon does not need to make as many manual movements. Otherwise it is similar to traditional SAL.
4) External ultrasound-assisted liposuction (XUAL or EUAL)
XUAL is a type of UAL where the ultrasonic energy is applied from outside the body, through the skin, making the specialized cannula of the UAL procedure unnecessary.
XUAL is a possible way to avoid such complications by having the ultrasound applied externally. It can also potentially cause less discomfort for the patient, both during the procedure and afterwards; decrease blood loss; allow better access through scar tissue; and treat larger areas.
5) Water-assisted liposuction (WAL)
WAL uses a thin fan-shaped water beam, which loosens the structure of the fat tissue, so that it can be removed by a special cannula. During the liposuction the water is continually added and almost immediately aspirated via the same cannula. WAL requires less infiltration solution and produces less immediate edema from the tumescent fluid.
6) Laser-assisted liposuction
Laser Lipo involves using thermal energy to dissolve specifically targeted fatty deposits (Lipolysis). Once these cells have been broken down subsequently removed naturally using the body's lymphatic system or extracted with a gentle suction via a fine cannula which is inserted in the same incision.
After liposuction, the new body's shape is more or less permanent. If a patient does gain a moderate amount of weight after liposuction, then the figure will simply be a larger version of the new body shape. Fat cells that are removed by liposuction do not grow back. If the patient does not gain excessive amounts of weight, then the new more pleasing silhouette is permanent.
Patients should not expect to lose a dramatic amount of weight with liposuction. However, because fat is removed from cosmetically important areas, liposuction should produce significant improvements in aesthetic appearance.
After the surgery, the treated area will be bandaged or stitched, and you may need to wear some elastic compression clothing to reduce swelling. If general anesthetic is used you may be asked to stay overnight in hospital. You may have to take antibiotics straight after the procedure to reduce the risk of infection. Most people also take mild painkillers (analgesics) to ease the pain and swelling afterwards.
There will be considerable bruising to the area treated. The bruising will be worse when a larger area has been treated. Deep bruising and swelling may last for up to six months.
There may also be some numbness in the area, which should go away in six to eight weeks.
It usually takes about two weeks to make a full recovery, but it can take up to six months to see noticeable results, as the treated area may take time to settle down.
Side effects of liposuction can include bad bruising, especially in patients who have a tendency to bleed or who have been taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs; swelling, which may not settle for up to six months; inflammation of the treated areas; fluid coming from the cuts (incisions); scars from the cuts (incisions); thrombophlebitis (an inflammation of the veins), which is common inside the knee and on the inside of the upper thigh when these areas are treated; swollen ankles.
Any major operation runs the risk of infection and excessive bleeding. Antibiotics may be needed to help prevent infection.
Other complications specific to liposuction include:
- thrombosis - the clotting of blood within a blood vessel, which can obstruct or stop the flow of blood;
- lumpy and uneven results after the fat has been removed;
- bleeding under the skin - known as hematoma;
- pulmonary embolism - a potentially fatal blockage in the lungs caused by a blood clot;
- numbness in the treated area that may last for months;
- damage to the internal organs from the procedure;
- a build-up of fluid in the lungs - known as pulmonary edema, which can occur as a result of the fluid injected into the body;
- changes in skin color and a loss of normal feeling in the area treated if the ultrasound method is used.

UAE: Brompton Brands has opened its first Mahiki nightclub outside of London at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Dubai.
The theme is based on a South Polynesian Tiki-style interior emulating a beach shack with Fiji fishermen style lighting nets, wooden artifacts, shell basins in the washrooms, carved Tiki's, rattan wall finish, bamboo flooring and coconut wall panelling.
"Our brief was in many ways to emulate Mahiki in London whilst giving the Dubai venue something extra in terms of its finishes and detail," said Michael Melnick, general manager, AMBB.
"The concept is clearly Polynesian in nature with emphasis on distressed finishes implemented in as authentic a way as possible. The furniture was manufactured in our factory in Dubai and took three months to complete. The ambience is uniquely Mahiki and the look and feel of the finished space is very satisfying in terms of quality of work, use of materials and detail."
Nick House, co-founder, Brompton Brands, said he plans to add more artifacts to the venue over time, including low flying tropical fish, to add more character.
"This is the first Mahiki outside London. We wanted to roll out the lifestyle brand across an international platform which meant we either had to head to Vegas, Hong Kong or Dubai. Dubai was seen as a gateway to achieving this, a touchpoint as it were. We wanted to target an array of consumers including those that travel and wanted them to see our brand," he said.
"It is similar to London in its design. My partner and I designed the initial concept and used an assortium of specialist contractors, such as Cheeky Tike, in London which supplied a lot of the artifacts, tropical arts and décor, providing all elements of modern and traditional South Seas style."
Modern tiki came around in the 40s when American GIs returning from WWII in the Pacific region brought back various exotic items and art from their travels.
Soon after, Don the Beachcomber and Victor "Trader Vic" Bergeron started opening bars and restaurants in this exotic style which provided a tropical getaway from post war life.
House said he wanted to take this idea and give it a modern edge because he found current Tiki bars out-of-date and stuffy.
"We try to make it more fun. It's all about the layers, not a straight forward polished look. It looks more real when it has been 'battered around' a bit," he said. "It took three to four years to get this idea off the ground and launch the nightclub. The colour theme is burnt yellow, orange and oaky brown."

The moves of this hero are really shocking and exactly opposite to what his father did with Tollywood. Folks this is Manchu Manoj for you!
Mohan Babu's younger son Manchu Manoj is going guns with Tollywood unlike his brother Manchu Vishnu who is yet to make a mark. Both the brothers are concentrating on stunts from long back and are trying to carve a niche for themselves in fights. In this process, Manoj is ending up choreographing the fight-sequences on his own for his movies, for which latest flick 'Mr.Nookayya' is an example. Critics are saying that Manoj should concentrate on his acting stuff and dance moves to stand out as a commercial hero.
The image of 'Mohan Babu' peddled them all these days and time has come for them to prove strengths. Continuously directing fights will end him up as a fight master, but not a great actor. Well, there are also people who say, a hero with such bundles of talent is definitely a plus for Telugu industry, but he needs to streamline his thoughts and practices. Only 'success' defines the worth of these stunts for Manoj.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Constant game lagging after downloading?
Every time I download something that has a size of about 1 - 3 Gigs, my multiplayer game play lags. I play Xbox Live. I know it has nothing to do with Xbox Live. My download rate is around 27 Mbps and upload is around 7mbps. I had no lag all week this week, until I downloaded a iso that was around 2.7 Gigs today. After that, my Xbox Live connection has been horrible. I really don't know why. Nothing else is going on. Everything else is fine, except my Xbox Live. I downloaded (the ISO) through Firefox. So does something keep running in the background that does this? I've tried numerous thing, I usually just wait a day, and it's fine again. So what could be causing this? It has nothing to do with ports either. Because it only happens after a big download.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It was a great time skyping with my family on Christmas day. So I was not able to see my father because my mom told me that he was in our farm, working. She told me that my father has not been drinking alcohol as much as he had been doing before. Heavenly Father truly hears and answers prayers, in His own perfect time and way.
I know with all my heart that my decision to serve as a full-time missionary was not an accident. Seeing others receive the blessings of living the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is one of the greatest blessings I will ever receive in this life. And looking back, I am amazed how much I have also grown in faith, testimony, and in every aspect of my life because of the experiences I had in the mission. And I would not trade them with anything else.
About the work, it has been great! Tatay Oni came to church yesterday. He was the one we met through tracting. He was the investigator I immediately dropped just after our first teaching appointment. And until now, I amazed how we were miraculously led back to his house to teach him again. He is progressing. And the Indong Family accepted our invitation to be baptized. I hope and pray for the best for these people and to my amazing, diligent, and intelligent companion. They will be forever in my heart.
I am excited for my new area, new companion, and new people to love with all my heart this new year. Old things are done away, and all things have become new. I love being a missionary!
Well I am sorry. I know this lumpia that I cooked looks scary.
But my companion said it is masarap.
Zone Activity!
Tatay Oni!

I made this meal quite a while ago after seeing the recipe on Iron Chef Shellie's site. I have cooked a few things from her website and they have all been great, so I knew this would be a winner too which it was.
The recipe is a Nigella recipe which also gave me an incentive to try it. I must say I do love any dish that combines chorizo, tomato and rice which is pure comfort food. I love the addition of sweet chilli sauce too, cause I always used to add that as my special ingredient whenever I made spaghetti Bolognese that even my dad started adding it to his as well.
I can't have chilli without sour cream and avocado, so I added them as well. I will definitely be making this again when I am next in the mood for something quasi Mexican!

Investing In Clean Energy: Time To Subsidize?
Two think tanks from opposite ends of the ideological spectrum came together today to issue a report recommending a $25 billion annual investment in clean energy. The AEI-Brookings report recommends several methods for investing the money (h/t David Leonhardt).
This joint paper by the Brookings Institution, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Breakthrough Institute argues that the federal government should invest roughly $25 billion per year in military procurement, R&D, and a new network of university-private sector innovation hubs to create an energy revolution. The program should be financed through several mechanisms, including a low price on carbon.
The idea is that since we have failed to put a price on dirty energy, perhaps we can combat climate change by subsidizing clean energy. This would have the added benefit of making it potentially cheaper for other developing countries to cut back their emissions by developing innovations that could be exported. However I am not sanguine about its political prospects given the current reluctance to spend money on anything. It appears that AEI is now to the left of the Republican caucus.Click here for reuse options!

Put a fun spin on the traditional Wine and Cheese Party with a Bring Your Own Cheese Party! Being a lover of all things cheese, this party sounds fantastic to me. Have each guest bring a block of their favorite cheese or their yummiest cheesy dish to share with the group. The host can supply a variety of wine and other drinks to accompany the food. Other food can be included too, but in my opinion, the more cheese, the better! To up the fun and and add a little friendly competition, have everyone take a vote at the end of the night on which cheese was their favorite. The winner would win a small prize and the opportunity to host next year's cheese adventure!
How would you make this creative party idea your own?

Magic at the Edge is the latest creation from Jeff McBride - a high impact show designed to be easy to present, with flexible stagings, minimum props to be shipped, but a large impact. The show stars McBride, his wife Abbi and one onstage assistant. The evening often begins with the entire company greeting and entertaining in the hall as the guests enter. Sometimes they magically produce buttons or other event themed items to give to audience members. "We love to get to know our audiences before the show begins on stage," says McBride. "Besides, this way we can share more intimate magic effects that can happen right under their noses, or even in their own hands - that won't work in the stage show. Very few people ever get to experience really good magic that closely."
Once the stage show starts, audiences experience McBride's signature mask, pantomime, Kabuki theatre, martial arts and amazing sleight of hand magic mixed with several larger illusion productions, and even some mental magic.
Reviewer Sandy Posnak of the Atlantic City Weekly recently wrote, "One can't experience a better way to say adieu to the summer days, than by experiencing this delightful, mesmerizing magical journey." Her fellow reviewer Chuck Darrow wrote, "As "Magic at the Edge" illustrates, McBride's brilliance remains intact. Among his talents is his ability to be cerebral and arty, yet accessible to audience members of all ages.
What sets McBride apart is his presentation. Drawing heavily from Japanese Kabuki theater and smartly incorporating sound and lighting into his individual pieces, McBride creates a world of mystery and fantasy that takes his show to a level most magicians can't achieve."
Put Magic at the Edge to work for you in a specially themed version, either a a gala show or broken up to support your magically themed meeting.

Many animals will perch or climb onto floating logs in ponds, protruding rocks, or sticks that hang out from the bank of ponds. In the case of reptiles such basking behavior is an important part of their maintenance of higher preferred temperatures that they cannot attain by physiological means. This allows them to digest their food quicker and grow faster. There is also the benefit of drying the skin and removal of external growths of algae and possibly even leeches and other parasites. For some diving birds such as cormorants and anhingas, their method of swimming underwater to catch fish involves allowing their modified body feathers to absorb water to control buoyancy; these wet feathers must be dried to make subsequent flight easier.
Since most ponds do not contain many if any floating logs or adequate branches protruding from the banks, it is important for our wildlife to provide them with resting places. In some cases this may conflict with what many people consider "neatness." For this reason a large number of ponds and lakes within local communities have barren shorelines with little wildlife habitat. A "neat" environment is generally devoid of wildlife. So you must reprogram your mind to appreciate a more natural arrangement and enjoy the resulting improvement in the quality of habitat.
At Wildflower Preserve we have tried two types of simulated basking habitat floating in ponds, cabbage palm trunks and a constructed raft. The palm trunks were attractive but had two drawbacks, they tended to absorb water and sink, and they rolled when birds stood on them or when turtles tried to climb up. The first raft constructed by a volunteer carpenter, Charles Kozora, had a ramp on one end and was successful except that the anchor dragged due to the chain being too short. So we are working on some new models with two ramps and better anchors.
Another huge advantage of basking rafts is that wildlife can feel comfortable in a pond while visitors walk on the shoreline. So despite the unnatural appearance of such rafts, I feel that they are wonderful both for wildlife and those who want to observe them closely without undue disruption of their activities.

Just playing with Inkscape (and procrastinating... cleaning is so boring, right?), celebrating the fact that it rained last night. It was lovely. There is something so soothing about summer rain. And in the evening after a very hot day; it's almost magical.
I was watching Love Actually last night and I just love it. It is cheesy, but also oh so sweet and uplifting! My favourite stories in the film are the ones with Colin Firth and his Portuguese house keeper, Sam who is in love with a girl from his school and the one with (a rather unbelievable) Hugh Grant as the PM who falls in love with his assistant. So sweet. I really recommend this film.

Vantrel McMillan and Dee Virgin have spent a lot of time together in recent weeks. The two high school seniors played together in a couple of all-star football games and this past weekend made official visits to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
The all-state defensive players from Georgia committed to UTC on Saturday, giving the Mocs 14 commitments for signing day on Feb. 1.
McMillan, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound defensive end from Monroe High School in Albany, said he had a great visit. He said he and Virgin, a defensive back from Seminole County High near the Florida state line, both liked UTC but didn't plan to commit at the same time.
"When I went up there this weekend, I just felt comfortable," McMillan said. "I was looking for a good academic program and a football program -- and that's what I found."
He and Virgin played in the Georgia North-South All Star Football Classic in December and the Georgia-Florida Border Wars All-Star game this month. McMillan was named the defensive most valuable player of the Border Wars game after making 10 tackles, with four sacks and two forced fumbles.
After a senior season that he said was "a 10 out of 10," McMillan was voted to the GSWA's Class AAA all-state second team. The 5-11, 175-pound Virgin was Class A second-team all-state after a solid final season on offense and defense.
Virgin rushed for 326 yards -- he averaged 10.2 yards a carry -- and nine touchdowns. He also had eight receptions for 279 yards and four scores and made 32 tackles and five interceptions.
UTC likely will try to add one or two more players, including a wide receiver after Bradley Central's James Stovall decommitted last week and committed to Navy.

Day 19 is particularly soothing & pleasant. A close friend also said it was lovely to do after a long uphill walk, to breath into all the hurty places.

Don't Belittle My People!: A Cinematic Hanukkah Celebration
By Brian Prisco | Guides | December 21, 2011 |
By Brian Prisco | Guides | December 21, 2011 |
Hanukkah is the traditional Jewish holiday consisting of a floating period of 8 days that usually helps to complicate the already painful experience of Christmas retail. Since I cinematically represented the 12 Days of Christmas, I felt it would be remiss of me not to celebrate Jewish cinema. Seriously, the chosen people have chosen well for the most part when it comes to entertainment. But, much to the chagrin of my attempts at breaking into screenwriting, I am not Jewish. I was raised Roman Catholic. (Which is kind of like being Jewish. We still have the mother worship and the crippling guilt, but the only candles are lit by little old ladies and they do that every day and at our weddings instead of Hava Negila, they play Dominick the Donkey.)
So I consulted my friend Sarah who is not only Jewish, but has a birthday right before Christmas. God truly hates this wonderful little Jew. I wanted to know if there were special traditions -- if Day 3 was Dreidel day, if the menorah lighting culminated in everyone gathering at the end of Hanukkah and having a big fireworks display, if you used the lit menorah to descend into the bowels of the earth for your Protocols of Zion gatherings (I gotta stop using Fox News as a legitimate research source). And I discovered that I really wasn't going to be able to do a comparable list -- there's no significance to any of the days or representations for any of the candles. And since the holidays can fall anywhere in December, I can't even make fun of the actual days. Oy, truly, now I can appreciate the struggles of the Jewish people.
But it does give me an opportunity to create kvetching and bitching and arguing, which is not just a proud Jewish tradition, but what happens when most families gather. And so I chose films for each of the nine menorah candles. Films that are empowering for not just the Jewish directors who made them, but the Jewish people. And, yeah, I left plenty off. There is no Yentl. And I tried to only stick to one per director, as I didn't just want a list of The Three Wise Mensches: Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, and Steven Spielberg. So in honor of Hanukkah, Channukah, Cha-Cha-Ka-Kah, or as my old Pennsylvanian backwoods neighbors called it, Jewish Christmas, here are films that do Jews proud. You'll be able to spend all 8 days declaring what a schmuck I am, and basking in the warm glow of seething revenge.
So put on your yarmulke, drink a gin-and-tonicah, smoke your marijuanicah, get a cherry slushee at Sonic-ah, buy Hooked on Monkey Phonic-ah, and have a happy happy Hanukkah! Shabat shalom, motherfuckers!
dir. Woody Allen
Even though he's practically renounced his New York Judaism in favor of a more European ethic, at heart Woody will always be that stammering little wisenheimer. Nowadays, he just gets other folks to play him. Woody Allen became the stereotypical Jew that all rednecks would use as the target for their scowling, chawdrenched rage. So I chose Zelig, as it's Allen's version of Forrest Gump. A chameleon, able to blend seamlessly into any situation, Zelig (Woody Allen) eventually takes on the personality traits of the folks around him in order to avoid offending people. You know, like Jewish people do when overly effusive Christians bellow "Have a merry CHRISTmas!" at them during the holidays.
dir. Mel Brooks
The Empire Strikes Back was written by Lawrence Kasdan and directed by Irwin Kershner, two glorious Jews. But it is George Lucas, who clearly worships Satan, who gets all the credit. Clearly in an effort to avenge this wrong and also to make a little gelt on moichandising, Mel Brooks created his finest spoof, Spaceballs. When assembling this list, I knew it was an embarrassment of riches with the Brooks oeuvre -- provided I do anything before 1990. It was hard not to include any of the Gene Wilder threefer (Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, The Producers). But personally, I think Spaceballs is the most perfect spoof film ever made, and managed to trump another fine pair of Jewish men, The Zucker Brothers,, and their exploitation of Leslie Nielsen. However, like a seasonal dalliance, Brooks accidentally gave birth to an unwanted monstrosity in the [REDACTED], but like shameful relatives or Mel Brooks post Robin Hood, we just pretend it doesn't exist.
For Your Consideration
dir. Christopher Guest
This time of year is about Awards Buzz, so you get to sit around listening to your friends and relatives expound upon the virtues of who'll win what award -- even though most of them are recycling what they read online having not seen more than three films theatrically themselves. Try explaining the virtues of Terrence Malick's cinematography to someone whose favorite film was produced by Adam Sandler. Which is what makes Christopher Guest's least appreciated mockumentary all the more brilliant. Plus, it's about a the struggles of making a film based on another Jewish holiday, Purim. Christopher Guest's dry wit and improved schtick is a bright beacon in a dreary dismal season. So when the family gathers to wax ecstatic about how funny Jack and Jill was, you can sit silently by and run the old man's Raging Bull monologue from Waiting for Guffman in your head.
dir. Steven Spielberg
If there's one thing the Jewish people are good at, it's serving piping hot revenge as a cold dish. When Spielberg isn't fiddling with aliens or Nazis, he's damn good at atrocities. And so his searing and brutal film about vengeance for the slaughter of Israeli Olympians by Black September will have you signing up for Krav Maga lessons quicker than Eric Bana can snap a neck. While some folks (see NASCAR fans) will have you think Jews are ineffectual intellectuals, I give you The Mossad. And Spielberg's been more than willing to fall back on his Roger Corman exploitation when it comes to bloodshed in his cinematic forays. It's not exactly as feel good as E.T., but then again, how good would that flick have been if that little pisher had military training? That bike would have went up a moon, but the soldier who it belonged to wouldn't have appreciated it.
Fiddler on the Roof
dir. Norman Jewison
You knew this was on the list. This is why there is a list. Fiddler is how most gentiles know about Judaism. If I were a rich man-- You just clapped your hands, didn't you? You just heard the klezmer music, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?! Like all musicals before the 1960's, it's about a father trying to marry off daughters. When you show up single to a family event, or have the temerity not to have created grandchildren, Fiddler is to blame. Not for your inability to procreate, but for the disappointment and disquiet caused among the tsking elders of your family. Along with a bar/bat mitzvah, seeing Fiddler on the Roof is actually a required rite of passage to become Jewish.
A Serious Man
dir. Joel and Ethan Coen
Now we get into the intellectualism. Mama Coen's gotta be proud of her boychiks. They've done a wild and varying assortment of films and genres, and yet they leave the indelible stamp on their work. A Serious Man makes you realize what little you know about Judaism if you aren't a Jew. It's practically written in a coded language. Like Hebrew, it's not a serious of simple letters, but pictures and images that have to be studied and examined and translated to find the deeper meaning. To laymen, it's practically indecipherable. So while you can appreciate the drama, you also feel like you're missing out on so much if you aren't a Talmudic scholar.
dir. Darren Aronofsky
And this is the orthodoxy of intellectualism. I love when people see it for the first time and say, "This is the dude who made The Wrestler and Black Swan?" It's almost a direct challenge to the viewer, a complex array of mathematics and religion where we watch a man obsessively destroy himself in the pursuit of knowledge. Why would this make you proud to be Jewish? Because it's a thriller based on numbers. NUMBERS. Aronofsky's first film shows that you can break open someone's head with what inside a calculus book just as easily as you can by Jason Bourne-ing them in the noggin.
dir. William Wyler
It combines Jesus and the Jews! It's got something for everyone! Except the billions and billions of people who don't celebrate Hanukkah or Christmas. It's the original revenge flick, with the biblical version of Death Race. Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston, who clearly enjoys the Bible) plays a Jewish merchant prince who gets his home and family taken away from him by greedy Romans. So he vows revenge, which he gets, spectacularly. Plus, Jesus comes along and there's a whole I help you, you help me setup. Which just goes to show, Jesus loves everyone. Provided they are Charlton Heston.
The Hebrew Hammer
dir. Jonathan Kesselman
This was included at the insistence of the Jewish friends I consulted when making my list. It's an unholy mashup everything that's come before it on the list: spoof films, revenge, action, kvetching, neuroses, poor puns -- all in the form of a Circumsized Shaft. It's the kind of film that was tailor made to play edited on Comedy Central. Andy Dick plays Santa's evil son, bent on eradicating Hanukkah by giving away free bootleg copies of It's a Wonderful Life to little Jewish boys and girls. Plus, it's one of the rare cinematic representations of Kwanzaa as well. I guess we'll have to wait for the sequel to get Ramadan or Yule.

While Carlos Martinez has enjoyed a successful first full season as a starter for the St. Louis Cardinals, he's struggled at home of late.
The right-hander can turn things around at Busch Stadium with another dominating start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.
After contributing almost exclusively out of the bullpen for St. Louis (97-56) each of the past two years, Martinez (14-7, 3.01 ERA) has the second-most wins on the team and would appear to be in good position for a spot in the NL division series' rotation.
More from FoxSports
"I always want to give my team the best chance to win a game," he told MLB's official website. "That's all I'm worried about all the time."
Following a five-start stretch where he went 1-3 with a 5.60 ERA, Martinez is 1-0 with a 1.84 ERA in two starts that both came on the road. The first came at Milwaukee on Sept. 15 when he allowed a Khris Davis homer, three other hits and struck out nine in eight innings of a 3-1, 10-inning victory
"He gets the excitement around this (time of year), and being here, and he feeds off that stuff," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said about Martinez, who has yielded only that home run and fanned 17 in 15 innings against the Brewers this season.
Matheny, though, would like to see Martinez fare better at home, where he went 5-2 with a 2.28 ERA in his first nine starts but is 1-2 with a 6.11 ERA in the last five.
Davis is 4 for 10 with that homer and two doubles against Martinez, who tries to lead St. Louis to a sixth consecutive victory following Thursday's 7-3 win over the Brewers (64-89).
Jhonny Peralta and Stephen Piscotty hit back-to-back homers and combined for seven RBIs as the major league-leading Cardinals won for the ninth time in the last 11 games to remain four ahead of Pittsburgh in the NL Central.
"I love it. With the fans and crowd here, once you get a little taste of that, you're not playing for your numbers," Piscotty said. "You're playing for those moments."
The number haven't been bad for Piscotty, who homered for the sixth time and is batting .313 with 37 RBIs in 58 games since making his major league debut July 21.
He's has seven RBIs in six games against Milwaukee. However, Piscotty went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts against Ariel Pena (2-0, 3.50) when the right-hander yielded a run in five innings against Martinez and the Cardinals last week.
Though Pena has walked 10 and not completed more than five innings in any of his three career starts this month, he hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of those contests.
"He's certainly representing himself well," manager Craig Counsell said. "He's given us a chance to win in all three starts."
Jonathan Lucroy delivered a pinch-hit single Thursday in his first action since suffering a concussion Sept. 8. Counsell said Lucroy won't catch again this season but could play first base and pinch hit at some point of the next week.
"It's the type of injury where you want to feel like you're back to normal," Counsell said.

Is Essential. One of the most essential thing for every living being in the world. It kept moving forward, never waiting whether you're ready or not to move. It will always tick no matter you would prefer to have it paused.
I am a person who usually enjoy every ticking of the time, every moment given by the time. But recently, I started to blame my life condition on time. Why the time is not right? Why now? Why not later? Does time really help to solve a problem? Does time will really tell? Does time will really heal?
And then he said that problem is meant to be solved by ourselves. It is not supposed to be put aside and let time tell. The more you put it on hold, the heavier the problem will become. He said again that time would be most probably the most evil thing in the world. It will never help to solve anything, instead it's giving you more and more.
Something came up when he said that, and I remembered clearly the quotes in Alice: Looking Through the Glass movie – "Time is not a thief, Time is a gift. He gives before he takes.". I told him that quotes, and we both smiles. We knew everything seemed to be unfair, seemed to be not in the right timing right now. We still don't know what will be the solution; yet we agreed, that indeed Time is a gift.
If you remembered clearly, every single persons and living things in this world is given every second to act, to care, to love, to grow, to think, to breath, to move, to react, etc. The act that we choose to do in every ticking second is what Time gave us to shape our future, to shape our relationships, to shape our life. However, as nothing is forever, Time will eventually take. But long before he take, he give. We should celebrate Time, we should embrace Time, we should thank Time. We tend to remember clearly when he take, but do we remember the long journey when he give? There are a lot of things we could do and say, yet because we're that selfish human, we let it go easily. We took Time for granted, and we blame him when it's the moment he take it.
Don't take Time for granted, don't waste it. Time has been giving his love to us by giving first. Don't let yourself get angry when it's the moment Time demand back his take. When Time is taking back his share, smile as we know that we have utilized what he's giving us in the best way we can. Whether we failed or succeed along the pathway, we should celebrate it when the Time is done. Because Time is a gift.
