Nets Hold Off Raptors to Claim Game 3 in Barclays Center
BROOKLYN – Memo to the Toronto Raptors: Those first two playoff games were just the warm-up act.
The Brooklyn Nets served notice Friday night in a roiling Barclays Center of what playoff basketball is all about:
It's physical. It's relentless. It's unforgiving.
Led by point guard Deron Williams, who prior to the start of the series heard way too much about his Toronto counterpart Kyle Lowry, the Nets captured Game 3 102-98 to grab a 2-1 lead in this best-of-seven, suddenly take-no-prisoners series.
Game 4 is Sunday night (7:00 p.m.; YES) in Barclays Center and the Raptors better send for their big-boy pants. This will get nastier as it goes along.
The Nets had opened a 93-78 lead with 4:01 left but the Raptors made a late push, closing to within 97-96 with 34 seconds remaining. Joe Johnson made two clutch free throws with three seconds left to seal the win.
Williams has gone chest-to-chest with Lowry since the opening tap. He was motivated to do so last Friday night at a dinner with Paul Pierce, among others.
Pierce's message to Williams: Show Lowry who's the man.
Williams certainly played man-ball in Game 3. He finished with 22 points, eight assists, two steals and terrific defense on Lowry, who fouled out with 2:31 left, 15 points and a bloody lip.
Coming into this series Williams and Johnson faced a barrage of questions. How were they going to handle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan? Just fine.
Johnson finished with 29 points and Pierce, who called the Nets soft after their 100-95 loss in Game 2, had 18. His monster dunk with 1:29 left in the first half ignited the crowd and the Nets.

Tesso Nilo National Park, Sumatra – Communities on the fringes of Sumatra's Tesso Nilo National park mixed tradition and conservation on March 1, with a party to name and welcome the newest members of the WWF's Elephant Flying Squad. In Riau Province, the flying squad are four adult elephants and eight mahouts patrolling an area along the National Park boundaries, keeping wild elephants away from local communities and teaching villagers non-lethal ways to protect their crops.
Tesso Nilo National Park, Sumatra – Communities on the fringes of Sumatra's Tesso Nilo National park mixed tradition and conservation on March 1, with a party to name and welcome the newest members of the WWF's Elephant Flying Squad.
In Riau Province, the flying squad are four adult elephants and eight mahouts patrolling an area along the National Park boundaries, keeping wild elephants away from local communities and teaching villagers non-lethal ways to protect their crops.
About 80 guests helped Nella celebrate her 1st birthday while Wan Abu Bakar, Vice Governor of Riau Province, officially conferred the name Tesso on the younger calf, born three months ago. It is a tradition in Indonesia to have a naming ceremony soon after the birth of a baby.
When Vice Governor Wan Abu Bakar arrived at the Flying Squad Camp, he was greeted by a welcoming committee of the four adult Flying Squad elephants. Ria, Tesso's mother, came forward bearing a string of flowers that she placed around the Vice Governor's neck.
In addition to honoring the tradition, the naming ceremony and birthday celebration had a serious conservation purpose.
The head of Tesso Nilo National Park noted in a speech the success of the Flying Squad in minimizing human-elephant conflict around the park.
The park head called for greater collaboration for effective human-elephant conflict mitigation in the park and for efforts to safeguard the national park.
WWF is working to see the park expanded from 38,000 to 100,000 hectares to ensure enough habitat for a viable elephant population in Riau Province.
The Vice Governor, who also sits on the trustee board of the Provincial Team of Human-Wildlife Conflict Handling, promised to protect the forest in Riau Province that serves as elephant habitat.
As shrinking habitat in Riau leads to greater human-elephant conflict, he hopes that the newly established Provincial Team will be a success in mitigating human-elephant conflict, just as the Flying Squad has done in Tesso Nilo.
And how do elephants celebrate? With brownies! Following tradition, Vice Governor fed the treats (baked especially for the elephants out of corn, palm sugar, minerals and oats) to Tesso's mother to mark the naming of her son and to Lisa, Nella's mother, on the occasion of her calf's birthday.
Tesso and Nella seemed mostly oblivious to the celebration going on around them, sticking close to their mothers' sides. Tesso was born on 16 November 2007 and Nella was born on 23 February 2007.
Both calves were fathered by wild elephants and the pregnancies were welcome surprises to the Flying Squad mahout team. Nella has already begun following along with the Flying Squad on patrol occasionally for fun, but still finds time to play with Tesso.
The Vice Governor and guests were enthusiastic to hear stories about the life of the Flying Squad elephants, all of whom were moved from government-run camps where conflict elephants are kept to work with WWF in 2004. It was indeed a day of the elephant.
Information on the WWF Elephant Flying Squad:
In 2004, WWF introduced the first Elephant Flying Squad to Riau Province in central Sumatra, to a village near the newly established Tesso Nilo National Park. It was a way to bring short-term relief to the intense conflict between people and elephants there and to create support for elephant conservation among hard-hit communities.
Because the region around Tesso Nilo is being cleared so rapidly and the forest converted into agricultural plantations, elephants with no place to go are forced to wander in search of food, making farms and commercial plantations an irresistible temptation for elephant-sized appetites.
An Elephant Flying Squad consists of eight mahouts (rangers) with noise and light-making devices, a pick-up truck and four trained elephants that drive wild elephants back into the forest whenever they threaten to enter villages. It has proven to be very effective to reduce losses suffered by local communities near Tesso Nilo. Since it began operating in April 2004, the Tesso Nilo Flying Squad has reduced the economic losses of a local community from elephant raids.
The concept for the flying squad has a long tradition in India and other places, but had not been used in Indonesia before. WWF recruited mahouts and elephants from elephant camps that the Indonesian government maintains. These eight men and four elephants went through intensive training to create bonds and make them effective as a team to drive back wild elephants.
The project has been so successful that companies working in the area are starting their own Elephant Flying Squads to protect crops from wild elephant raids.

Skip to comments.Bloggers doubt Huntsman's chances in 2012 [presidential] election
Posted on 02/03/2011 10:58:55 AM PST by T Minus Four
SALT LAKE CITY -- We're a few days past the official announcement that Jon Huntsman Jr. will resign the U.S. ambassadorship to China, presumably to run for the White House in 2012.
At this point, prominent political commentators seem to be generally taking one of two positions: either that Huntsman made a very bad decision to run now, or that this is what he needs to do to set himself up to be a Republican frontrunner in 2016. Almost nobody in the blogosphere who isn't associated with Newsweek believes Huntsman has a legitimate shot at winning the 2012 presidential election.
Below are links to pundits opining about the viability of a "Huntsman in 2012" presidential campaign. (If you want to read more on the subject, do a simple Google News search for "Huntsman president.")
We'll start with the most positive of the bunch. Patrick Chovanec at Forbes believes Huntsman won't have trouble distancing himself from Obama and is a welcome addition to the field of candidates.
The Economist contends that Huntsman would've been much better served waiting to run in 2016.
James Fallows at The Atlantic forecasts that Huntsman could be a good presidential candidate long-term, but Fallows zealously believes Huntsman doesn't have a proverbial leg to stand on if pitted against his former boss Barack Obama in a general election.
The American Prospect thinks Huntsman is either delusional or already beginning to position himself for 2016.
Politico talks about the prospects of a "Mormon Primary." It basically points out that Huntsman improves Mitt Romney's chances because it makes a Mormon candidate running for president look more common. It says many experts believe Romney would run away in a "Mormon Primary."
Even some local political experts have questions. Kirk Jowers of the Hinckley Institute of Politics said, "How does he have a chance to win? He's been working for a Democratic president, he hasn't been doing the ground work -- so all those questions come in."
Huntsman has two chances of being POTUS Zero and None because he will not get the GOP nod.
The Boyz at Hillbuzz weigh in:
White House and Cocktail Party establishment kabuki: Jon Huntsman edition
Posted by kevindujan01
Seriously? This guy? The Media's really trying to sell THIS GUY as a new Cocktail Party favorite for 2012? Ridunkulous.
HotAir has this take on Jon Huntsman resigning as US Ambassador to China to run for the Republican 2012 nomination.
Strangely, they believe the White House made Huntsman Ambassador to China to prevent him from being a 2012 candidate. Because the Governor of Utah is such a compelling position from which to launch a presidential bid.
Do you remember what the White House said back in 2009 when they made Huntsman an Ambassador? Axelrod, Emanuel, and the rest went out of their way at the time to tell anyone who would listen how formidable Huntsman would be if he ran against Obama in 2012 and how they believed hed be the hardest candidate to beat.
I hear the Republicans called The Party of Stupid a lot and most of the time I cringe, because stupids such an ugly word and I dont think many people deserve that.
But if you cant see what the White House did with Huntsman, then you really are stupid, even if you write for HotAir and are someone I normally like.
Huntsman has always been a failsafe the White House intended to push for the 2012 GOP nomination because his wealth is limitless and his ego is apparently considerable. Huntsman has been positioned by the Administration to play the Ross Perot spoiler role for the GOP.
If the Media-White House-Left axis does not succeed in nominating someone like Mittens Romney, Tim Pawlenty, or John Thune in 2012 and Governor Palin secures the nomination, the doomsday scenario for the White House has always been to encourage Huntsman to step up as a third party candidate to split the Republican vote with Palin, the way Perot did with Bush to squeak Bill Clinton to victory in 1992.
Huntsman, apparently, is too stupid to realize he is being played.
Hear that? They done said I was formidable. Whooooo, doggies. Hear that? I am formidable. Rich, too. Oh, and so handsome, in a leathery creepy kind of way, but that being filthy stinking rich sure nuff makes up for that. AND, I went to China and was an Ambassador and the like, so now I got me some of that foreign policy credentials. Hell, if Ross Perot can do it, then I can get me some charts and some graphs and some Hell if I know and run as an Independent too. President Huntsman. Man alive, I sure nuff like the sound of that!.
Sometimes, I still cant believe Republicans cant see that anyone who is praised by the Media is someone the GOP should not put forward as a candidate for office.
Reading comments at HotAir on this story is like dealing with people whove sustained head injuries recently they have no short term memory and rarely learn from past mistakes.
A centrist the media loves did not win you the White House in 2008. Americans do not want a wimpy soggy sandwich centrist. They want an actual conservative to run on the Republican ticket. If you nominate her, she will win, and she will be greater than Reagan in all that she does.
I dont know why, but Jon Hunstman for some reason reminds me of Jethro Bodine from the Beverly Hillbillies more dollars than sense, handsome in a creepy way, and delusional.
Im sure hes a nice enough man. But so was Jethro.
Neither one ever will, or should, be president.
Don't bet the farm on it! It's probably already been decided.
Bloggers: for when you can't get a celebrity's opinion soon enough...
Leaders lead. He has not led. He is no leader.
No thanks, I'll pass.
IF Huntsman were to get the GOP nod, I'll be voting 3rd Party... I GAHR-OWN-TEEE it!
Good choice.

Many cities in California have enacted, or are proposing to enact, plastic bag bans. However, there is no statewide initiative. That is about to change.
Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, D-Santa Monica, has introduced legislation to ban single-use plastic bags in the state of California. On February 17, 2010, Assemblywoman Brownley introduced Assembly Bill 1998 (AB1998).
AB1998, if passed, would take effect on July 1, 2011. AB1998 specifically:
- Defines paper carryout bags
- Requires stores to charge a green bag fee for the paper bag
- States how the green bag fee is to be used
- Creates the 'Paper Bag Pollution cleanup Fund'
- Specifies how the monies in the fund are to be expended
- Requires the state board to administer and enforce the law
Assemblywoman Brownley has been a leader in environmental issues in the state of California. She states, " AB1998 would ban plastic bags and impose a fee on paper bags to wean Californians off their nasty bag habit. We've cut other nasty habits, we can cut this habit, too." (1)

We know exactly the proper mindset of practices who want to acquire new patients from the web in a cost-effective fashion, and only get charged for performance.
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) March 10, 2014
The country's leading pay-for-performance medical marketing firm, US Lead Network, has now developed a turnkey solution for helping medical and dental practices acquire new patients. The turnkey solution involves no start up or maintenance costs, with the campaigns being completely pay-for-performance. For more information call US lead network at 877-791-6466.
Currently, most medical internet marketing companies work on a flat fee basis. New patient acquisition is the goal, however, there are minimal analytics in place to follow prospective patient inquiries. Most SEO companies just follow web traffic but not results.
US Lead Network's turnkey solution has complete metrics in place to monitor phone call inquiries, live chat inquiries and contact forms. In addition, medical and dental practice clients do not pay a start up fee or any ongoing maintenance fees.
Said CEO Dr. David Greene, "My own medical practice acquired 80% of our patients online. I know exactly the proper mindset of practices who want to acquire new patients from the web in a cost-effective fashion, and only get charged for performance."
The US Lead Network model involves lead generation through a considerable amount of online mediums including videos, press releases, blogging, articles, infographics and social media. With the time constraints in place on medical practice providers and personnel these days, this kind of specialized medical and dental Internet marketing is best left to those who have written the book on web marketing.
Added Dr. Greene, "I actually wrote a comprehensive book on healthcare Internet marketing last year. US Lead Network truly offers a turnkey solution for medical and dental practices, with a complete solution for lead generation to acquire new patients. There are no better medical or dental internet marketing methods that I have seen."
Currently, US Lead Network is offering complimentary 30 minute phone consultations to discuss the turnkey solution. Call 877-791-6466 to schedule one.

By Craig Giammona
Courtesy Daily Sitka Sentinel
With the roster depleted by holiday travel, the Mt. Edgecumbe Braves could not keep up with the Sitka High Wolves wrestling team Nov. 23.
Sitka won the match 67-12. Jaylin Prince (285) and Michael Matthew (152) scored the only victories of the night for Edgecumbe, both by pin.
MEHS coach Mike Kimber said the team he fielded included only four varsity wrestlers. Kimber, without some of his better wrestlers, expected to lose to the tough Wolves but said "how bad was a bit of a surprise."
"That team I put out there probably would have been competitive and won a dual with almost any other team in the region," Kimber said, offering a compliment to Sitka High. "They're a tough team, they have a really tough dual team."
Sitka had 12 victories in the match, including 10 pins on a night when the seniors on the SHS team were honored. Next up for Mt. Edgecumbe is the Region V tournament, set for Dec. 3-4 in Craig.

I don't know if it's the weather or what, but the last few days I've been pretty much put out of commission by headaches and migraines! Friday and today were both total write offs. I'm only just beginning to feel slightly human right now … after a day of throbbing head pain.
My husband was out all day and that didn't help. Have you ever tried to take care of a dog (ie go out for pee breaks?) when you can barely stand up because when you do it feels like the top of your head is going to blow off?
My husband didn't help when he got home either. He got back at about 9:30 pm and he had his cousin and his cousins two sons with him (they'd been helping another cousin fix a drainage problem in her backyard all day) and even though he knew I felt like death warmed over he brought the kids in to say hi. GRRR So of course I had to stand up for hugs and then see them out the door to their car again. Not fun!
If my husband does anything else like that tonight he'd better hope that Blue Advantage gives him good coverage 'cause I felt like punching him earlier! LOL
I hope that this migraine goes away soon and stays away. It's gotten cold here in Toronto and it was overcast all weekend. Like I said earlier maybe the weather has something to do with the headaches?

A new card sketch has been posted at Sketch~N~Scrap today!
Why not have a go and link up your make?
This is the sketch:
Despite spring flowers popping up everywhere, the weather is still pretty wintry
and this saying came to mind...
The March wind doth blow and we shall have snow.
But this is a common misquote - it should be
The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow.
So this is the sentiment I used for my inspiration today!
I just printed it on teh computer...
I just used just the bottom half of the sketch matting and layering papers from my blue scraps.
The snowflakes were cut using a Tim Holtz Snowflake Rosette - a long strip die which is cut up and then stuck in place using a glue good. The paper I was upcycled from a magazine.
Hope you like it and will join us at SNS...!
I think this would be a lovely Christmas card so I will link it to
Happy Crafting!

We've heard it is beautifully written and filled with adventure, love and tragedy.

Steven's brother Chris knows he's innocent, and he quickly makes sure that Luke's own brother will die if Luke doesn't clear Steven's name. Can Luke find the real killer before both of them end up dead? It's a dangerous cat and mouse game in this action-packed page-turner from David Rosenfelt.

South Africa, 1899-1902 (Boer War)
|Unit hierarchy
A Battery, Royal Australian Artillery
"A" Field Battery is the oldest permanent unit of the Australian army. Before 1870 each of the major ports in colonial Australia were defended by the British garrison troops from the Royal Garrison Artillery. At the end of 1871 the Royal Garrison Artillery was withdrawn from the colony of New South Wales and the colonial government passed an act allowing for the raising of a Permanent Military Force to provide the coastal artillery. A Battery, New South Wales Artillery, was formed in August 1871, and was trained and organised to replicate the Royal Artillery. In 1885 A Battery was sent to the Sudan, as the New South Wales Battery, and 14 years later it was sent to the Boer War, as part of second contingent from New South Wales.
A Battery embarked for South Africa on 30 December 1899, in the transport Warrigal. The battery numbered 177 men, consisting of seven officers and 170 other ranks, and 148 horses. Five men were veterans of the Sudan. The battery was equipped with six 15-pounder guns and was organised into three field sections with two guns each. In 1901 the first draft received 44 reinforcements and another 19 horses.
A Battery arrived in Cape Town on 5 February 1900 and soon joined General Settle's column, which was clearing the districts of Prieska, Kenhardt, and Goodania, in the north-west of the Cape Colony.
In December a section from battery joined Colonel Crabbe's column, operating in the Orange River. The battery remained with Crabbe until March 1901, when it took part in the chase of the Boer leader De Wet, in the Hopetoun district, and was instrumental in the capture of De Wet's guns, north of Pompean Pan. Another part of the battery was attached to Colonel Grenfell's column, in the Graff Reinet district. While part of the battery was employed in the Cape Colony, the other part was used in the Transvaal, with Colonels Williams' and Remington's columns, operating against the Boer commandos.
For most of its time in South Africa, the battery was split up and hardly served together as a complete unit. In October 1900 the battery's commander, Colonel S.C.U. Smith noted in his diary: "My battery now has its right section at Vryburg, its left at Prieska, and the centre here [Upington], thus covering a front of 360 miles."
The battery served in South Africa for 18 months and on 12 August 1901 left Cape Town on board Harlech Castle. The voyage to Australia took a month and, after stops at Albany, Adelaide, and Melbourne, the ship reached Sydney on 15 September.

My favorite Portland restaurant. It's part of my dream week spent in Portland and the best part of this restaurant is that the chefs and the bartenders are the most passionate people about food and drink.
They have great local wines on list (Washington and Oregon wines happen to be my current favorite), but you can also bring your own bottle, should you have stumbled onto one of the many great stores nearby. I love sitting at a long table with other diners and overhearing how good everyone's meal is. Mine included.

Marielle de Sarnez, rapporteur on the EU-China trade relations for the European Parliament, welcomed the decision to establish a tax on Chinese photovoltaic.
"The decision of the European Commission to introduce a tax on the Chinese solar is a good news for the European industry. This sector of our economy has already been undermined for many months by Illegal subsidies from Beijing to export its solar panels and this industry of the future is threatening to collapse. In 2012, nearly twenty major European manufacturers have been forced to cease their activity. It was time for Europe to respond firmly to enforce its rights in international trade, which are consistent with the WTO rules.
After six months of application of provisional duties, so in December 2013, the Council will have the power to decide on definitive measures against Chinese photovoltaic industry. If the distortions are still true, it will be necessary that Member States take responsibility.
The European Union has lost too much time. We must now develop a genuine common industrial strategy, giving importance to the development of forward-looking and growth-promoting renewable energy. I think in particular of the need for a European strategy to (re)build a competitive and sustainable European photovoltaic industry."

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The Morgan Square Apartments on Main Street will soon be known as the Silverbrick Lofts. The property has 280 units in many buildings, surrounding a courtyard.
22News got a tour of the renovations. Many units still have residents in them, so the 6-million dollar renovations are beginning with the empty apartments.
Fifteen are expected to be done by November of this year. They are market-rate housing, and city leaders said they want to see young professionals and empty-nesters move back downtown.
Kevin Kennedy, the Springfield Chief Development Officer, told 22News, "We have to make sure that it's something that's attractive to people and we're going in that direction. Remember, part of the host community agreement on the MGM situation is the complete surveillance and security in the downtown. We're going in that direction."
The apartments are a couple blocks from where the new Union Station will be, and in the other direction will be the MGM resort and casino if voters decide it can be built downtown.

Title: Out of Season
Author: coolbyrne
Rating: G
Disclaimer: The characters of Tony Hill and Carol Jordan belong to Val McDermid. I write them because I love them, not because I'm making money from them.
A/N: Proof of my eternal procrastination- I began this just as summer was turning to fall, and just finished it!
Summary: Tony reflects on the turn of seasons.
A sharp gust of wind swirls around my feet as I descend the stone steps of the university, and even though I see it in my head before it happens, I am unable to stop the inevitable- papers piled loose on a stack of books balanced precariously in my arms scatter before I can use my chin as a weight. Reflexively, I shoot a hand out in a feeble attempt at… what, catching them all? Instinct overridden by logic, and balance overridden by gravity. The books tip and hit the ground with various thuds.
"Damn!" I curse with enough volume to attract the stares of several passersby, none who bother to stop and help. I paste a smile on my face and nod at them as they walk on while I continue my shepherding of the wayward papers and books. In my haste to shove the essays into my loyal blue plastic bag, one handle rips and it's all I can do to muster up a sliver of decorum and not leave everything on the ground and walk away. No, I gather myself and everything else, make it as far as my car and throw everything in the backseat, oblivious to and uncaring of the disorder that will face me when I get home.
Dropping into the front seat, I slam the door and gaze out my windscreen at nothing. Autumn. I hate this time of year. No, that's not true. Hate is a strong word. I'm not fond of this time of year. The days are too short and it always makes me feel like there's not enough time to do everything. Too much left undone.
I shake my head. I'm lying. I actually quite enjoy this time of year. For all the horrors I've seen, it's the only time I feel a sense of beauty in the cycle of life and death. To watch the leaves change from green to yellow to orange to red is to watch Nature unfold from beginning to end. No, I'm enjoying autumn a fair bit. It's me I'm not fond of at the moment.
I called Alex by your name today.
I close my eyes at the memory, but of course, it only serves to replay the moment behind my lids. She had come to visit me at the university; stopped by at lunch to tell me Ben had invited me over for tea. Would I accept? Of course I would, I told her, once again appreciative of the way she allowed me into her life. Pleased with the arrangements made, she turned to leave, and I tripped over my social cue. I had meant to thank her and instead made a mess of it. I called out your name, and Alex stopped in mid-step, not because of my voice but because of my word. She turned to face me, and had I not been acutely aware of my own private mortification, I might have asked her why she looked almost… bemused. As it was, before I had a chance to dig out my voice from the pile of embarrassment, she simply told me she'd see me at five.
I have been so aware, so careful of avoiding this very situation. In the early days, I didn't avoid calling her by her name as one might think. Quite the opposite, in fact. I called her 'Alex' as many times as I could without getting strange looks. (Though I've grown so oblivious to such looks, maybe she gave me more than my fair share and I simply didn't notice.) I wanted to get used to the name, the sound, the feel of two very different syllables rolling off my tongue.
And I was doing so well until today. Why today? It's been nearly two years! It's not your birthday or mine. Not a holiday. No event to make me reminisce about old time and old friends.
The wind billows the limbs of a nearby tree and a handful of its red and orange cast offs flutter on to the bonnet of my car. Autumn. Nature going about its business, living and dying, unmoved by the plights of Man. Days that are too short and nights that are much too long for people who would prefer not to be reminded that they are sleeping alone. Things left undone. Too many things.
The car is silent but for the thin whistle of wind that has found a crack somewhere. And the berating voice of "I told you so" in my head. I told you it would never work. I told you you weren't enough. I told you she'd leave you.
I recognize the social cues when I miss them. So why was I so horribly blind to us? Or maybe I simply chose to ignore it. Us. Hoping things as they were would be enough. A caress, a gentle word, your mere presence. A black leather bag you gave me to celebrate my promotion, still in the boot of my car. Knowing in my heart of hearts we were slowly dying on the vine. Careers, forgotten promises, a presence –and presents- taken for granted.
The rap on the window nearly makes me jump out of my skin, and when I gather enough composure to look, I see a young man, smiling with his palms held up in sheepish apology. Over half a decade has passed since I broke the handle for the window and I've yet to have it repaired, assuming by now I'm more likely to get a new car than a handle. I open the door a crack.
"What can I do for you, David?" I recognize the twenty-something as one of my students.
"Just checking to make sure you're all right, Doctor Hill."
"I walked by about 10 minutes ago, and you were staring off into space," he explains. "I came back for a book I'd forgotten and you hadn't moved." He ducks his head to look into the car, then does a cursory glance around it. "You don't have a garden hose attached to the exhaust, have you?" he jokes.
At least, I assume he's joking. I muster a well-practiced smile. "No, I'm fine. Just admiring autumn."
I'm not sure my answer completely satisfies him, but it seems to be enough. He shrugs his shoulders and looks at his surroundings. "I suppose. I've always seen it as a precursor to a bleak horizon."
"In what way?"
"Winter. A moment of beauty," he spreads his arms out to the picture of nature unfolding around him, "for an eternity of grey days and cold nights."
"That's a wonderful synopsis of life, David," I inform him flatly.
He laughs and good-naturedly backtracks. "Maybe I was a bit too harsh. Life's more than a single moment of beauty, Doctor Hill. Or at least, it should be."
I hum at his assessment. "I suppose it's the space between the moments that makes the days seem longer."
He looks at me oddly and I sigh, a bit melodramatically in the hopes it will end the conversation. He seems to contemplate several responses but settles for, "Are you sure you're all right, Doctor Hill?"
"I'm fine," I repeat my earlier refrain. "Thank you."
It's still not quite enough to satisfy him, but mercifully, he doesn't quite know what to say. Instead, he gives one last look at the contents of my car and taps the roof. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, Doctor Hill."
I nod my reassurance. "I've got your essay," I tell him as I thumb towards the back seat. "I look forward to reading your paper."
"If I were you, I'd be more inclined to looking forward to finding it," he quips, but when he receives my wan smile, he meekly shrugs and turns away.
I watch as the young man walks off and I pull the door shut. Alone again. A chill settles in the car and I wonder if you miss it- the weather, the turn of seasons. And yes, I do wonder if you miss me. How do you mark the passage of time when the seasons run together in sunny Johannesburg? Or do you have someone marking the time for you? Have you moved through the space between holding onto the past and embracing a new future? If you have, I wish you were here to tell me how to do the same. Wish you were here to help me move through the spaces.
I wish you were here.

Ex-CPS regional director arrested in connection with Klapheke case
ABILENE, Texas - An ex-Child Protective Services regional director was arrested Saturday on a tampering with physical evidence charge in connection with her former agency's alleged mishandling of a highly publicized 2012 child death case.
Martha Kiel "Bit" Whitaker, 58, of Abilene has been charged for a third-degree felony offense that allegedly occurred on Aug. 29, 2012, jail records show. Her bond was set at $1,000. She has been released. A third-degree felony charge carries a potential sentence of two to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
Details surrounding her arrest remained sketchy Sunday, but Whitaker was a CPS regional director when 22-month-old Tamryn Klapheke died from severe neglect in August 2012.
Tamryn's mother, Tiffany, in February was sentenced to 30 years in prison for her role. She found Tamryn not responsive in her Dyess Air Force Base home on Aug. 28, 2012, records show.
Whitaker retired from the agency in March 2013.
Abilene Police Chief Stan Standridge, whose agency investigated the Klapheke case, declined comment Sunday.
"We will not offer comment today, but I anticipate a news conference at 11:30 tomorrow (Monday) morning to discuss several things," Standridge said in an email to KTXS.
The special prosecutor in the case – Assistant McLennan County District Attorney Mark Parker – confirmed Friday that he had recently taken the case to a Taylor County grand jury. District Judge Lee Hamilton of the 104th District Court in Taylor County issued the order appointing the McLennan County District Attorney's Office (Waco) as special prosecutor.
The case has been somewhat of a black eye for CPS.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services spokesman Patrick Crimmins on Monday said his agency – which is over CPS – had no comment on Whitaker's arrest other than to note Whitaker was a CPS regional director before she retired in March 2013.
Ex-Commissioner Howard Baldwin, who oversaw the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services when the Abilene police probe into the alleged mishandling of the Klapheke case began, announced his resignation in November 2012 – just two months after the death of Tamryn Klapheke.
Tamryn reportedly died six days after CPS closed an investigation of medical neglect on the Klapheke family – without the mandatory final visit of the home. During Tiffany Klapheke's trial, Tiffany admitted in a taped police interview that she had failed to feed Tamryn as often as she should have and had not changed Tamryn's diaper for several days.
While Abilene police named Whitaker and former CPS supervisors Gretchen Denny and Barbara McDaniel as suspects in the investigation before police handed the case over to the McLennan County DA's Office, it hasn't been made public which names were recently submitted to the grand jury.
Whitaker and Denny were put on paid administrative leave for several months during the early stages of the investigation. While Whitaker resigned, Denny was dismissed. Attorneys for Whitaker and Denny made motions to protect the pair from testifying in Klapheke's February trial because of the pending investigation of CPS.
McDaniel was allowed to continue with CPS in a clerical position in the Permian Basin in September 2013; however, KTXS learned earlier this year that she was once again a supervisor.

The Masters: It's in a League of It's OwnApril 16, 2009
The Masters golf tournament is the biggest event on the PGA tour.
Playing in the Masters or simply playing a regular round of golf at Augusta National is like entering a new realm of existence. It is so majestic; it is like playing a round of golf in the clouds.
The only tournament that even comes close is the oldest tournament in golf is the British Open, but only when it is played at St. Andrews (the home of golf).
The 2009 Masters had everything you could of hoped for.
Tiger on the prowl on Sunday paired with a very hot Phil Mickelson, the potential oldest man ever to win a major leading by two strokes, but could not seem to hold that title with only two holes left to play, Gary 'The Black Knight' Player playing in his last Masters tournament, and there were even extra holes to find someone to wear the green jacket.
What else could you ask for in a golf tournament?
Those of us that play the game of golf understand how hard it is to play when the pressure is on. Even just getting off the first tee because there are other people around watching is extra pressure we all have trouble with.
Can you imagine having to make that same shot with thousands of people there in person, dozens of TV cameras, and all kinds of other news people and photographers watching?
I just hit a banana slice thinking about it.
Now, try and hit a three or four foot putt under those conditions to win the Masters.
That's all right, go and change your shorts then come back and finish reading…OK, feel better?
Well that may have not been the situation Sunday for Kenny Perry, but a 40-plus foot chip is not much easier. His twitchy right wrist, as he put it, failed him again. He actually put the 60-degree wedge in the bag just for this tournament and this exact reason.
What was he thinking? Then again, it isn't called the pressure of winning the Masters for no reason.
To come up short in the Masters with a two stroke lead and two holes to play has to be so depressing. It was for me as I had put $10 on Kenny to win the Masters at 60-1 odds.
During this economy that win would have been a nice welcome. Then again, I could have been the one that brought Kenny bad luck by betting on him!
Congratulations to Angel Cabrera for hanging tough and getting it done when he was struggling also with the pressure that comes with the Masters.
Just about the only two that did not struggle with the pressure on Sunday was the world's number one and two.
Phil and Tiger put on a show, and both made a very nice Sunday run which probably added to the leaders pressure.
I would also like to take this moment to thank Gary Player for the memories.
A classy man and a great golfer, the Black Knight is easily one of the top ten golfers of all time. Thanks for 52 Masters, Gary.
The Masters, it's in a league of it's own.

PLASMA or PLASMA
Some types of gasification use plasma technology, which
generates intense heat to initiate and supplement the
gasification reactions. Plasma gasification or
plasma-assisted gasification can be used to convert
carbon-containing materials to synthesis gas that can be
used to generate power and other useful products, such
as transportation fuels. In an effort to reduce both the
economic and environmental costs of managing municipal
solid waste, (which includes construction and demolition
wastes) a number of cities are working with plasma
gasification companies to send their wastes to these
facilities. One city in Japan gasifies its wastes to
produce power. In addition, various industries that
generate hazardous wastes as part of their manufacturing
processes (such as the chemical and refining industries)
are examining plasma gasification as a cost-effective
means of managing those wastes streams.
Plasma is an ionized gas that is formed when an
electrical discharge passes through a gas. The resultant
flash from lightning is an example of plasma found in
nature. Plasma torches and arcs convert electrical
energy into intense thermal (heat) energy. Plasma
torches and arcs can generate temperatures up to 10,000
degrees Fahrenheit. When used in a gasification plant,
plasma torches and arcs generate this intense heat,
which initiates and supplements the gasification
reactions, and can even increase the rate of those
reactions, making gasification more efficient.
Inside the gasifier, the hot gases from the plasma
torch or arc contact the feedstock, such as municipal
solid waste, auto shredder wastes, medical waste,
biomass or hazardous waste, heating it to more than
3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This extreme heat maintains
the gasification reactions, which break apart the
chemical bonds of the feedstock and converts them to a
synthesis gas (syngas). The syngas consists primarily of
carbon monoxide and hydrogen—the basic building blocks
for chemicals, fertilizers, substitute natural gas, and
liquid transportation fuels. The syngas can also be sent
to gas turbines or reciprocating engines to produce
electricity, or combusted to produce steam for a steam
Because the feedstock reacting within the gasifier are
converted into their basic elements, even hazardous
waste becomes a useful syngas. Inorganic materials in
the feedstock are melted and fused into a glassy-like
slag, which is non-hazardous and can be used in a
variety of applications, such as roadbed construction
and roofing materials.
Plasma technologies have been used for over 30 years in
a variety of industries, including the chemical and
metals industries. Historically, the primary use of this
technology has been to decompose and destroy hazardous
wastes, as well as to melt ash from mass-burn
incinerators into a safe, non-leachable slag. Use of
the technology as part of the waste-to-energy industry
is much newer.
There are currently plasma gasification plants
operating in Japan, Canada and India. For example, a
facility in Utashinai, Japan has been in commercial
operation since 2001, gasifying municipal solid waste
and auto shredder waste to produce electricity. There
are a number of proposed plasma gasification plants in
the United States.

Green Cuisine Juice
After seeing several people talk so highly about juicers, I gave into the hype and a purchased one. I was extremely excited when it finally arrived (a little too excited considering it is really just a juicer - compared to a new phone or such, it was just as thrilling for me to receive...*sighs* what has my life become?). After much deliberation I decided to purchase one called 'Popamazing Chinkyboo Juicer' off amazon 'here'... mainly because it was red and matched my kitchen perfectly and had a funny name; but also because I had read that it was more quiet than an average juicer.
I constructed a 'Green Juice' recipe which involves many fruits and vegetables and gives benefits such as:
- The green vegetables contains chlorophyll which helps detoxify your body.
- Provides many vitamins, minerals and enzymes which are absorbed immediately into the blood stream, so work quickly to nourish your body.
- Spinach is rich in iron, which provides more energy for the body.
- Hydrating
On to the ingredients - There aren't specific quantities but just keep adding them until you have the require amount and taste (for example I added more oranges).
All you have to do is add them to the juicer... but be careful as the blades are extremely fast and sharp.
Refrigerate after for a more refreshing taste - perfect for the summer.
There you have it, easy and healthy Green Juice, Enjoy xx

If yes, then the x11-links package needs to be fixed to add (symlink) them.

Hi everyone,
I launched a campaign on Indiegogo to sell my product ASAP (at discounted rate) and pre-sell some of my next batch. Can it be successful without spending money to promote it? In less than 24 hours I have been contacted my several people to get my money and promote my campaign but I don't have money for these things. Do you think it can be successful without spending money on promotional stuff? I would like to hear your feedback. Thanks.

How 'bout some crock pot recipes?
I went to a Christmas party where a Crock Pot was being used to simmer Apple Cider.
...it's simmering away as you read this:
Polish Sausage & Cabbage
1 1/2 lbs Polish sausage, sliced or cubed
1/2 a cabbage head, coarsely sliced
1 small potato, peeled and sliced
1 large onion, sliced
14 oz. chicken broth
1/2 tsp. caraway seeds
salt and pepper to taste
Place sliced cabbage in crockpot. Toss with diced potato, salt and caraway
seeds. Add sliced onion and Polish sausage. Pour chicken broth over all;
stir lightly. Cover and cook on Low setting for 8 to 10 hours (on HIGH
setting for 2 to 4 hours). This dish is delicious served with mustard,
horseradish and boiled new potatoes. Makes 4 servings (about 3 1/2 quarts).
I guess I'll be sleeping outside tonight. ;f
Here are almost 1000 recipes for you.
Pot Roast, bottle of dark beer, cup of dark brown sugar, "hard" veggies like turnips, carrots, potatos, squash..whatever you like, garlic, tobasco sauce...set it on medium for 8 hours...EAT!
WOW!!! ;f
was it Dicken's Cider? i know on a cold evening there is nothing my wife likes more than a hot Dicken's Cider!! ;f ;f ;f
Never mind the Fruitcake Lady, The Pontificator is now GT's Official Crack--er Crock-Pot!! ~1 ~1 ^b^b^3
I did that too. I was grocery shopping on a very cold day just before Christmas and a nice lady was giving out samples of hot cider. I used her recipe in my crock pot and it was delicious. Warms you right up, (especially if you add a splash of rum ;f) and it makes the kitchen smell nice too.
Apple cider
Torani Carmel Flavored Syrup (which is also great in coffee)
The cider will take a while to get warm so depending on how much time you have, put on high if you need it quicker, or low if you have more time. If you do use high, be careful not to serve it too hot. I don't really measure the quantities of the carmel syrup, I just throw some in and then taste it to see if it needs more (wait until it is warm though, the flavors are stronger then). Don't add the cinnamon until the mixture gets warm as the cinnamon won't mix in well cold.
Starbucks was selling this exact thing for $2.75 for a small cup! ;g It sure is good though!
If you have anymore, I'll be there in 20 minutes! ;f
For you Ox, I'll make a whole big batch. ;f
Darlin', if you throw in a plate of meatballs, I'M THERE YESTERDAY!! ;f
Wait a minute. Meatballs and apple cider. That just doesn't go together. Guess I'll have to stay overnight for breakfast too! ;f
Patricia, Ox isn't easy, but he IS cheap. ;i ;G ;T
But when I am really hungry, it's the other way around. It is easy to find something I like, but it won't be cheap once I'm done! ;f
Hi, OX. RE your last postBon Appetite. Have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!!;H ;8 ^c
My friends and I had a few (aka several) beers last night and decided to make deer burger chili in my crock pot. It is so good. The problem is we just sorta threw a bunch of stuff in, probably couldn't do it again. I guess that's what is great about crock pots, everything comes out GOOD.
gonna do BBQ chicken next.
Polska Kielbasa and cabbage/kraut is great, but I've made three batches so far and it's getting a tad old. That, and I tend to go through Beano tablets like there's no tomorrow ;f and that stuff is not exactly cheap.
Please share with us how to do the BBQ chicken in the CrockPot kind sir!;f
Will probably use one of the recipes from the URL allanc listed above.

The Obama campaign's assertion that the economy is heading in the right direction is bunk, as the latest economic numbers show. The Wall Street Journal reports: "Orders for long-lasting goods plunged in August as commercial-aircraft purchases tumbled and demand for other items tailed off, the latest sign of a weakening manufacturing sector." Specifically, "The nation's gross domestic product — the broadest measure of goods and services produced in the U.S. — grew at an annual rate of 1.3% between April and June, the Commerce Department said Thursday. The revised figure is down from the previously reported 1.7% gain. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expected a 1.7% growth rate for the quarter. Orders for durable goods, products designed to last at least three years, fell 13.2% last month to a seasonally adjusted $198.49 billion, the Commerce Department also said."
We are quite simply going backward in President Obama's "recovery," not "forward" as his campaign slogan implores us to believe. The durable goods number is "the biggest decrease since January 2009 and the lowest dollar figure for new orders since February 2011."
It is hard to argue in fact that we aren't much worse off than a year ago. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the GDP was growing at 3 percent. In the first quarter of this year, GDP was growing at only 2 percent. In March of this year ,we added more than 200,000 jobs. Now we are virtually at a standstill, with growth falling close to 1 percent and job growth under 100,000 per month. Whatever brief rebound the economy might have enjoyed is gone, and the trajectory is not likely to change unless our fiscal policies change. The president's promised tax hikes and Obamacare burdens are low-hanging fog over a dreary economic landscape.
The Romney camp jumped on the news, putting out a statement: "The Obama economy is officially stuck in neutral. The nation's second-quarter GDP growth was slashed to 1.3% and manufacturing orders plummeted to their lowest point since President Obama first took office. It's clear our nation's job creators and manufacturers can't afford another four years like the last four years. As president, Mitt Romney will deliver a real recovery, with 12 million new jobs, higher take-home pay, and a stronger middle class."
Obama's recovery has been a bust. Whether Romney can make that clear to the American people and then present an alternative to the voters remains to be seen. Byron York is right in pointing out the campaign has frustrated its supporters in its "oscillation between a more and less aggressive stance" on the issues. (Most glaringly and inexplicably, the White House misrepresentations about Libya haven't yet gotten on Boston's radar screen.) We'll see if the Romney team, which has gotten more specific on its economic message in recent days, will use the real news to wipe away the phony image of an economy heading in the "right direction."

Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind
New York City's first exhibition of antique Chinese puzzles was on display for ten months at the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) in the heart of New York's historic Chinatown.
Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind featured traditional Chinese puzzles, including tangram, the fifteen-piece puzzle, nine linked rings puzzles, ingenious rings puzzles, sliding block puzzles, and burr puzzles. A selection of antique Chinese puzzle vessels was also on display.
In addition to viewing 100 antique puzzles and puzzle books, visitors also had an opportunity to play with and solve modern versions of the puzzles.
"Puzzles have been one of China's chief cultural exports to the United States since at least the 19th century," said MOCA's director Alice Mong. "Part of our mission is to explore how Chinese culture is lived, experienced, and passed along through generations here in the United States—and with Chinese Puzzles, that exploration can be literally played out with the hands."
Curated by puzzle collectors Wei Zhang and Peter Rasmussen, and drawn from their Yizhitang Collection of more than 1500 puzzles, books, and graphic materials, the exhibition explored multiple types of puzzles, including tangram, the game that sparked the world's first international puzzle craze; the nine linked rings (or Chinese rings), an object of interest for mathematicians and computer scientists; and the Chinese sliding block puzzle, a challenge in military strategy. Afforded the same attention as works of fine art and master artisanry, the puzzles on display were made from materials such as porcelain, carved ivory, and mother-of-pearl. Modern replicas suitable for handling allowed exhibition visitors to discover how these mechanical puzzles work.
"Puzzles like these are called 'intelligence games' in Chinese, and they are valued as tools for training the mind in creative, logical, and spatial thinking," explained Wei Zhang. Peter Rasmussen added, "They are also a source of great entertainment. Children enjoy these games just as much as engineers, logicians, and expert puzzlers.

Intersections: Puzzles as Art
This exhibition explored the intersection of Puzzles and Art. Both puzzles and art preceded written history and took their places as creative human endeavors. Art tends to reflect the emotional creativity of an artist attempting to convey a feeling, moment, place or idea to the observer. Puzzles tend to engage the holder of the puzzle intellectually—an artificial problem to be solved. The questions, "Can puzzles be artistic?" and "Can art also be puzzles demanding a solution?" were explored by this exhibit.
Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind
While the entire world was celebrating the spirit of physical competition at the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese Culture Center (CCC) hosted Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind—the world's first exhibition devoted to the art of Chinese puzzles. The antique puzzles on display from the Yizhitang collection included tangrams, the fifteen-piece puzzle, nine linked rings puzzles, ingenious rings puzzles, sliding block puzzles, and burr puzzles. In addition, there were displays of Chinese puzzle locks, silver puzzle rings, ceramic puzzle vessels, and puzzling images.
Visitors to the exhibition enjoyed playing with modern versions of the puzzles arranged on tables within the gallery. These puzzles appealed to visitors of all ages, from elderly men and women who had solved them as youngsters in China to toddlers who played with large foam tangrams on the carpeted floor. Groups of youngsters from San Francisco's summer day camps were treated to special guided tours of the exhibition and "Hands-on-Puzzles" sessions in one of CCC's classrooms.

Ingenious Wire Puzzles Demonstration
AUGUST 2000Ruan Genquan, visiting from China, demonstrated the traditional craft of Chinese ring puzzles made from wire. Visitors had the opportunity to solve some of Mr. Ruan's puzzles as well as to make their own puzzles. Mr. Ruan learned the traditional techniques from his father, Ruan Liuqi, a noted puzzle maker in Suzhou from the 1930s through the 1950s. The elder Ruan made not only the traditional nine linked rings puzzle but also ingenious ring puzzles in the forms of everyday objects. The younger Mr. Ruan took up his father's craft after retiring from his factory job. Since then he has not only fabricated puzzles for sale but also participated in international puzzle gatherings in Japan and the United States.
Visitors to the museum had the opportunity to learn how Ingenious Rings puzzles are created, and with the assistance of puzzle experts Wei Zhang of Berkeley and Zhou Weizhong of Beijing, they also learned how to solve them. Several collections of puzzles from the Yizhitang collection were on display, including a nine linked rings puzzle previously owned by the family of Pu Yi, the last emperor of China.
