When You Want To Kill Your Child, But You're Too Busy Being Grateful
Child is pushing on every single button I have. Complaining, talking back, whining, "Why did she get that and I didn't," and "It's not fair," and pre-hormonal outbreaks of "I hate you!" slamming doors and dramatic crying fits. And I'm out of breath. Literally. I. Cannot.Breathe. I simple cannot.
My heart it pounding into my throat as I debate which would bring me more immediate joy- violently attacking child or eating fifteen snickers bars. Both I consider both an inch more than slightly irrational, though in my current state of mind it's not blazingly clear to me which would be worse. It should be. My mind knows. So does my heart. But these buttons, these neurons of painful unresolved issues firing like hot flashed dog-in-heat, they don't speak the language I've trained myself to adhere to. They don't get anicca, and light and energy healing. They don't speak that tongue.

After nearly 75 years of exclusion from federal and state labor protections, domestic workers have finally scored two important victories in their fight for equal treatment. Late last week, Governor Brown signed AB 241, extending California overtime protections to domestic workers who spend a significant amount of time caring for children, elderly and people with disabilities. One week earlier the federal Department of Labor finalized new rules that significantly extend federal minimum wage and overtime protections to domestic workers who care for the elderly and people with disabilities. Together, these actions extend overtime coverage to all domestic workers in California.
These historic changes are a direct result of domestic workers organizing on the local, state, and national level. Over the past eight years, the California Domestic Workers Coalition has built a grassroots, worker-led, statewide movement in California that includes allies from labor, faith groups and employers. Similar efforts by domestic workers in New York and Hawaii have also resulted in legislative victories.
The struggle for equal treatment of domestic workers dates back to the beginning of the regulated workplace. Domestic workers organized a massive letter writing campaign in the 1920s and 1930s. Highlighting slave-like working conditions, they petitioned President Franklin and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, to cover them under the Fair Labor Standards Act, to no avail. Thirty-six years later, when Congress amended the FLSA to include most domestic workers in minimum wage protections and overtime pay, it exempted live-in domestic workers from overtime and excluded casual babysitters and companions for the elderly or people with disabilities entirely.
In California, a similar letter writing campaign was instituted to get the Wage Board to regulate employment in the home as early as the 1940s. However, when California finally adopted a Wage Order for Household Occupations in 1976, it exempted domestic workers (called "personal attendants") who spent a significant amount of time caring for children, elderly and people with disabilities. Personal attendants finally gained minimum wage protection in 2001 and have only now gained the right to overtime.
These gains, while significant, are not secure. Because the federal regulations do not take effect until 2015, there is fear that they may be reversed with a change in administration. The California statute is set to expire in 2016, unless the legislature acts to extend it.
One reason for these time limitations is the fear that home care will become unaffordable for many modest to low-income recipients. Available evidence is to the contrary.
Currently, fifteen states provide minimum wage and overtime protection to home care workers and twenty-one states provide minimum wage. According to the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute, institutionalization rates are not higher in states that provide home care workers with minimum wage and overtime. Furthermore, there is significant cost to high turnover rates (estimated at between 44 and 65%) that is a direct result of low wages and poor working conditions.
While neither AB 241 nor the federal rules are a panacea, domestic workers in California have much to celebrate this month. Today's home-care industry is staffed by trained professionals. These workers are their families' breadwinners. The removal of these historical exemptions at both the federal and state level is an important first step in valuing their labor as real work, and recognizing the dignity of those who care for our loved ones.

While walking the show floor at QuiltCon I decided to take photographs of the quilts that were displayed in the category of Handwork. This is a relatively small category. It is the one that I will be most likely to enter under if I create something using my Glorious Hexagons. Following are photographs of these quilts along with the information that accompanied them, which I also present as photographs of the labels.
Here is how the quilts are presented. Prize ribbons first, documentation second, full quilt third, then any detail photographs. Enjoy.

Israel-Palestine Analysis: Air Raids, Mortars, and a Jerusalem Bomb....What is Next?
A review of the last two weeks, before Wednesday's explosion of a bomb near a bus in Jerusalem....
The construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank has quadrupled since the end of the temporary freeze last autumn, say Israeli official documents.
Five members of the Fogel family are massacred in the settlement of Itamar. Although this act is condemned by the Palestinian Authority, Israeli government and media organisations consider it a terrorist attack. West Jerusalem's responds quickly. The Ministerial committee on settlement affairs approves the construction of 500 new homes in several West Bank settlements. The Israel Defense Forces carry out mass arrests in the village of Awarta, and questioned almost all the men.
Then, representatives of the Middle East Quartet --- the US, Russia, the European Union, and the United Nations --- express their pessimism last week that that the differences between Israel and Palestine are far too wide to get negotiations back on track. This is followed by an exchange of raids by Israeli jets and mortar and rocket attacks by Palestinians. Last Saturday, 50 mortars are fired from Gaza into southern Israel. In return, two Palestinians are killed and five Hamas officers and a Palestinian boy are wounded by Israeli bombing.
Hamas claims responsibility only for 10 of the more than 50 mortars fired. However, an Israel Defense Forces spokesman says Israel is holding Hamas "solely responsible for the attacks".
In the meantime, West Jerusalem continues its "security-first" argument at every opportunity, and amidst Arab uprisings, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prefers to target Tehran:
I would expect that the world put similar pressure on Iran. Iran is at least equal to Libya and I believe that its importance is even greater. Iran hopes to return the region to the Ninth Century. Iran's leaders have made great efforts to stop peace and progress in our area.
Netanyahu confesses that settlements will be built, regardless of the reaction from Palestinians and the international community. And, inadvertently, he foreshadows what will happen in Jerusalem the following day:
I didn't mean that building is part of the punishment. We will find the people who did this, and we will hold them accountable. But building is one of the ways that Zionism has found over the years to answer these terrible acts of murder. It is an appropriate response, a response that has continued since the dawn of Zionism.
Terror will not determine the map of settlement. If the murderers could, they would go to Tel Aviv, Rosh Ha'ayin, Petah Tikvah and Yehud. They have done so in the past – because they don't want us to be here at all.
On Wednesday morning, two rockets and ten mortars fall on southern Israel. Islamic Jihad again takes responsibility. Vice Premier Silvan Shalom warns that Israel may have to consider launching a fresh military offensive against Gaza. Netanyahu says that he may convene his National Security Council and adds: "Perhaps it will come to exchanging blows, it may continue for some time, but we are very determined to take away the terrorist organizations' ability to harm our citizens."
After the explosion in Jerusalem, Hamas and Islamic Jihad representatives in the Gaza Strip hail the attack as a "natural response to Israeli crimes against Palestinians" while the Palestinian Authority condemns it.
On Thursday morning, after two rockets and several mortars are fired from Gaza, Israeli jets bombed an arms depot which reportedly belongs to the military wing of Hamas. Defense Minister Ehud Barak says that Israel holds Hamas responsible for the recent rocket and mortar strikes.
The developments in these two weeks are a serious escalation of tension between Israelis and Palestinians. Both sides were weighing up the other side's next attack, rather than its next negotiating step. At the end, as Netanyahu had foreseen, the explosion came to the heart of Israel, a natural consequence of the recent attacks.
We still do not know who is behind the bombing in Jerusalem. Indeed, we do not know who is the murderer in Itamar, or the group responsible for most of the mortars and rockets coming from Gaza. But we do know that Israeli officials will single out Hamas.
Yet, while taking that blame, Hamas may benefit from playing a subtle hand. Without having to make an official declaration of responsibility, the Gaza leadership diverts domestic attention from anti-Hamas protests towards the Israeli threat whose bombs could be dropped at any time.
And Hamas also benefits because it is the Palestinian Authority who has lost the most in this continuing crisis. The more time that passes with no move to the negotiation table, the greater the decrease in Ramallah's credibility. That will be reinforced by the further Israeli limitations and security checks on the way for West Bank residents.
Israel, facing more pressure from mortars and rockets, can only accelerate its bombardment of Gaza and its clamp-down on the West Bank. Politically, the limits of its strategy are demonstrated by the repeated diversion to Iran to offset pressure from the "West" and at home. Rather than a focus on the real issues of Gaza and Jerusalem, Netanyahu's refuge, speaking in Moscow, is that Russia and Israel face the common threat of "radical Islamist" states with nuclear weapons.

London - Winger Nani is available for Manchester United's home match with Queens Park Rangers on Sunday after recovering from the ankle injury that has sidelined him for the last five matches.
United manager Alex Ferguson told reporters he was delighted Nani was back in training, adding, "He is a good addition because he is such a talented player."
However, Ferguson said neither Michael Owen or Anderson were yet fit enough to feature in the game which, if United win, will give them an eight-point gap over Manchester City, who have a later kickoff, at the top of the table.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed that Mario Balotelli will be available for the match with Arsenal on Sunday after being involved in a minor car accident on Thursday.
Mancini said he was hopeful top scorer Sergio Aguero would be fit for the visit to Arsenal after his foot injury. Defender Joleon Lescott is also back in his plans after recovering from a hip problem.
Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has urged fans to be patient after the team fell back to eighth in the table after six defeats in their last seven league matches, their worst run for 59 years.
"There are a lot of challenges ahead this season. I'd ask the supporters to be patient; we will get it right," he said on the club website (www.liverpoolfc/tv) before Saturday's home match against Aston Villa .
"We have had a mixed March. We're in a league position we're not happy about and we need to look at ourselves and try to move up the league as soon as possible."
Chelsea, who are fifth in the table, five points behind Arsenal and Spurs, will be without skipper John Terry and defender Ashley Cole, while Frank Lampard is extremnely doubtful for Saturdfay's match against Wigan Athletic at Stamford Bridge.
Caretaker coach Roberto Di Matteo told a news conference on Friday that Terry would miss the game because he has two cracked ribs, while Cole has an ankle problem and Lampard damaged a thigh during Wednesday's Champions League victory over Benfica.
Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Terry Connor told reporters on Friday he would retain Roger Johnson as skipper for the "foreseeable future" despite his on-field bust-up with goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey during last week's defeat to Bolton Wanderers.
Connor said he had spoken to both players and was satisfied the matter is settled.
"Roger is captain for the foreseeable future," he said.
Bottom club Wolves continue their fight for their survival at Stoke City on Saturday .
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he had no new injury worries for the match against Manchester City and would name the same squad as the one that lost 2-1 to Queens Park Rangers last week.
Wenger thought Abou Diaby and Francis Coquelin might resume training next week, while the next few weeks would determine whether midfielder Jack Wilshere had any chance of playing this season. Wilshere has missed the entire campaign following ankle surgery.
Fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur are at Sunderland on Saturday and Aaron Lennon, who came on as a substitute against Swansea last weekend, could make his first start for a month following his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Tottenham captain Ledley King will have a test on his knee later on Friday.
Sunderland, who are chasing a Europa League spot for next season, are likely to have Wayne Bridge back in the side against Spurs after he missed last week's match at Manchester City under the terms of his loan agreement.
However defender John O'Shea (calf) and Lee Cattermole are doubts.
Go go Man untd, after the next game it will be 8 points difrnt

Sriracha-and-Wasabi Deviled Eggs
Boston chef and baker Joanne Chang's mother used to make hard-boiled eggs for dinner: She would add them to the beef or chicken she was braising in soy. This is Joanne's riff on those eggs, made spicy with hot sauce and wasabi.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Serves: 12
- 1 dozen large eggs
- 2 c. soy sauce
- ½ c. sake
- 10 star anise pods
- ½ c. chopped scallions
- ¼ c. sugar
- ¼ c. coarsely grated peeled fresh ginger
- ¼ c. mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. sriracha
- 2¼ tsp. wasabi paste
- ¼ c. snipped chives
- Chinese five-spice powder
- In a large saucepan, cover the eggs with cold water and bring to a boil; boil for 1 minute. Cover the saucepan, remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce with the sake, star anise, chopped scallions, sugar, and grated ginger. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Transfer the mixture to a heatproof bowl and let cool completely.
- Drain the water from the large saucepan and shake the pan gently to crack the eggs. Cool the eggs slightly under cold running water, then peel them under running water. Add the eggs to the soy mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the eggs for at least 4 hours.
- Drain the eggs and rinse lightly to remove any bits of scallion or ginger; pat dry. Using a slightly moistened thin, sharp knife, cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Gently pry the egg yolks into a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Stir the mayonnaise, Sriracha, wasabi, and 3 tablespoons of the snipped chives into the mashed yolks. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a star or plain tip. Set the egg whites on a serving platter and pipe in the filling. Sprinkle the deviled eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of chives and the Chinese five-spice powder and serve.

Pro: Police need to keep criminals from knowing too much
May 9, 2010 at 12:09 a.m.
Updated May 10, 2010 at 12:10 a.m.
Mind your own business. That is the mindset many Victorians have about whether the public should have access to scanner transmissions.
"If they are not involved in the medical field or can't contribute in some way, then why should they know? Not everybody should have" scanners, said 52-year-old Victoria resident Agnes Martinez.
Victoria Police Chief Bruce Ure said the added encryption feature would help thwart people who use scanner transmissions for evil.
"Too often, during a narcotics raid or any type of search, we often find scanners tuned into our frequency," Ure said. "We have also found criminals driving around with scanners in their cars."
He added, "To know where police resources are tied up is an incredible advantage to a criminal."
Victoria resident Rich Schaller expressed similar thoughts.
"A little stealth and a lack of access to the broadcast activities of law enforcement will keep the criminal element guessing and, frankly, ambulance chasers out of the way of people trying to protect the public," said Schaller.
He continued, "Scanners are a nice toy to have and I'm certain that there are legitimate uses for them outside that which the criminal element would use them for. Be that as it may, public access to police, fire and other emergency service frequencies are not a necessity or a right. I don't think that such services owe you or me direct access to their activities."
Former Victoria firefighter Bobby Stary, who retired eight years ago, knows all too well the problems that can occur from ambulance and fire chasers coming out to an emergency scene.
"You get that with scanners," said the 61-year-old Victoria resident. "We didn't like that, but that was the only downfall of them listening in."
Former scanner listener Anna Dozier, of Hallettsville, said that living in the city has caused her to have a change of heart about allowing everyone to listen in to the emergency transmissions.
"Growing up in the country, my parents had the scanner on, but since I've been in the city, I've changed the way I felt because it means more people listening and more people getting in the way," Dozier said. Encryption "gets into the whole thing of the government telling us what to do, say and eat, but I agree there should be a boundary with this."
Other Victoria residents expressed their thoughts on being kicked out of the information loop.
"I enjoy listening to our scanner; however, it is a very valid point that not all people listen for the best of reasons," said 57-year-old Cheryl Robbins of Victoria.
Meanwhile, 73-year-old Leo Aucera's kept his thoughts on the subject simple.
"People need to stay out of it," he said.

Chemical Industry
Chemical industry is among basic industries of Uzbekistan which has been formed based on the needs of intensifying agricultural production, through establishment of productions of mineral fertilizers.
Today, chemical industry of Uzbekistan is one of the basic segments of the country's economy, which lays the basis for its long-term and sustainable development. It's exactly chemical industry that is large supplier of raw materials, different materials and works almost to all industries, and seriously influences scopes, directions and efficiency of their development.
The history of modern chemical industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan starts from the launch of Shursu sulfur mine in 1932.
In 1940, the largest enterprise of chemical industry Chirchiq Electrochemical Combine (currently Maxam-Chirchiq) starts to produce output.
In 1962, Farghona Plant of Nitrogen Fertilizers (currently FarghonaAzot) is launched.
In 1964, Navoi Chemical Combine (currently NavoiAzot) starts to produce output.
In 1969, Olmaliq Chemical Plant (currently Ammofos) was launched, and etc..
At present, the companies Maxam-Chirchiq, FarghonaAzot and NavoiAzot are producing nitrogen fertilizers: ammonium nitrate, carbamide and ammonium sulfate. The companies Ammofos, Samarqandkimyo and Quqon Superphosphate Plant are producing phosphorous-containing fertilizers, ammophos, superphosphate, simple ammonized superphosphate, ammonium-sulfo-phosphate and nitro-calcium-phosphate. Qyzylqum Phosphor Combine supplies raw materials to these productions. JVElectrokhimzavod produces different types of plant protection chemicals.
The most chemical enterprises are in the structure of the State Joint-Stock Company Uzkimyosanoat (holding company for chemical industry), which unites 12 large industrial enterprises, 13 regional distribution entities, which sell chemical products to agricultural sector, design and scientific-research institutions, transport-forwarding company.
Based on the type of production, the enterprises of the Company could be divided into the following major production complexes:
production of mineral fertilizers, inorganic chemicals and chemical agents for energy, gold-mining and chemical industries;
production of organic chemicals, artificial fibers, polymer materials;
production of plant protection chemicals;
production of soda ash.
The enterprises of Uzkimyosanoat produce more than 250 types of chemicals.

The following editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune on Jan. 21:
"War," the 19th century humorist Ambrose Bierce allegedly said, "is God's way of teaching Americans geography."
It's safe to say that until very recently, most of us couldn't have found Mali on a map — if, that is, we even knew there was such a country. But when the French government launched air strikes and sent ground troops into the West African nation, Mali suddenly demanded our collective attention.
Why should Americans care what happens there? Not because the United States is about to dispatch air or ground forces to help our ally. Not because it implicates any of our many military alliances or threatens one of our longtime partners. But because seemingly unimportant events in obscure, faraway lands can eventually lead to dire consequences — even for the world's only superpower.
We all learned that on Sept. 11, 2001, when a radical Islamist group harbored by the Afghan government crashed planes into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people. Soon we were at war in Afghanistan — and still are.
We drove al-Qaida largely out of that country and, over time, killed many of its leaders — including, in 2011, Osama bin Laden. But in doing so, we forced the terrorist organization to scatter, decentralize and find new confederates, in places from Pakistan to Yemen to Somalia.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Barack Obama said al-Qaida was "on its heels." Lately, however, it has found more footholds outside its customary haunts in South Asia. Africa may be the most important.
In response to France's offensive, Islamic militants attacked foreign-owned natural gas facilities in neighboring Algeria. A group affiliated with al-Qaida also took part in the September attack on the U.S. consular office in Benghazi, Libya.
The threat at this point is far from sufficient to justify direct U.S. military involvement. But it's clear that Mali is no longer a place Americans can ignore.

Dr. Yong's laboratory is interested in characterizing the initial genetic and epigenetic events that give rise to malignant brain tumors. As well, the lab seeks to understand how current standard treatment regimes, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy, interact with the cancer genome to influence the way in which tumor cells change through time and diversify in different compartments in the brain. The inherent genetic instability of cancer cells and their resulting adaptive abilities is a major reason why gliomas inevitably recur following treatment and are ultimately fatal.A greater understanding of the cancer genome as a dynamic, three-dimensional structure will lead to the development of new strategies that attempt to address cancer evolution directly.

Not a game fans are thankful for
Many Giants faithful won't get to see telecast because of TV dispute
Published 1:00 am, Thursday, November 19, 2009
Thanksgiving arrives a week from today, but New York Giants fans may face some indigestion with their turkey.
The Giants, arguably the most-followed professional sports team in the Capital Region, have a Thanksgiving night game against the Denver Broncos, but barring a last-minute deal, a majority of area fans will not be able to see the game on television.
The Giants-Broncos meeting is part of an eight-game package shown on the NFL Network, launched six years ago but still not picked up by Time Warner Cable, which services a majority of the Capital Region.
"Granted, this is a 24-7 network, but it's really the eight live games that are the sticking point," said Jeff Unaitis, vice president of communications for Time Warner's upstate New York region. "We're just not sure that it's worth that expenditure for those eight live games, when there's so much more we can do with our limited programming dollars."
Subscribers to satellite systems DirecTV and Dish Network can access the game. Others will have to go to bars, listen on the radio, or go without seeing a matchup of two potential playoff teams.
"It really is a shortsighted argument and one that's a little hypocritical to make that this is only an eight-game network," Kim Williams, NFL Network's chief operating officer, said Wednesday in a phone interview from California.
NFL Network is in its fourth year of airing live games. In addition, the network carried all 64 preseason games — all in high-definition, many of them live — and features extensive draft coverage, in-season studio programming and NFL Films shows.
Added to the negotiations this year is the availability of the NFL RedZone Channel, which airs live from 1 to 7 p.m. Sundays during the season and has live cut-ins from every game played.
"We have 53 million homes and more than 300 distributors," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters in Charlotte earlier this week. "Time Warner is denying customers the opportunity to see the network And it's not just the network; it's also the NFL RedZone, which we've had an incredible reaction to from fans and the partners who are carrying it.
The issue, other than the obvious financial considerations, is that the NFL won't allow its network to be placed on a sports tier. "We feel strongly that NFL programming is not niche programming," said Williams, who called RedZone "a great sports-tier product."
Cable companies pay networks negotiated monthly fees based on the number of subscribers. If a network is on a widely distributed tier, it will collect more revenue.
Williams confirmed that no formal talks have taken place since the NFL season started in September.
Negotiations for Time Warner are conducted at the national level, but Unaitis, who is based in Syracuse, said the company's stance is consistent system-wide.
"We continue to believe this is a channel that some Time Warner customers would like to see," he said, "but it's just a really expensive programming network offered the way that the folks at the NFL Network would like to offer it.
"We continue to negotiate. We believe when there's an offer that makes sense for us, we'd love to have it on, but I can't tell you that it's going to happen any time soon."

Sims players worried that the next entry in the long-standing simulation franchise can rest easy, as EA and developer Maxis confirmed that The Sims 4 will not require an internet connection to play. There was some worry following today's announcement — given SimCity's always-on requirement — that EA would force a similar mandate upon The Sims franchise.
However, in an official press release sent shortly after, the publisher wrote, "The Sims 4 celebrates the heart and soul of the Sims themselves, giving players a deeper connection with the most expressive, surprising and charming Sims ever in this single-player offline experience."
As I previously mentioned, Maxis' latest game, SimCity, faced significant criticism for its always-online requirement. EA claimed the requirement was necessary for gameplay purposes and not a form of DRM as many have suggested. Of course, it didn't help that SimCity was plagued by server issues rendering the game unplayable for most. In response to the frustrating situation, EA gave purchasers a free game out of their catalog.
It seems EA is looking to avoid a similar debacle by having The Sims 4 playable totally offline. What will be interesting to see, however, is if the game will have some sort of multiplayer support. The Sims 4 is due out on PC and Mac in 2014.

The former prostitute who hit headlines for her famous 1995 encounter with Hugh Grant has publicly thanked the actor for "changing" her life – because she was able to carve out a "wonderful" new existence after the scandal.
The British star was publicly shamed when he was arrested in Los Angeles with Hollywood prostitute Divine Brown, and she went on to land a series of lucrative publicity deals to talk about her experience with the actor.
Brown – real name Stella Thompson – quit prostitution after the furor and now lives comfortably in Atlanta, Georgia after her estimated $1 million earnings set her up financially.
And the 41 year old admits she will always be grateful to Grant for giving her a second chance at life, insisting she felt like Julia Roberts' character in the 1990 film "Pretty Woman."
She tells Britain's Daily Mail, "That was the trick that changed my life. The event that earned me a million dollars… the fuss afterwards scared me right there and took me off the game… I have the most wonderful life now. I've got a nice new home… there's no pool but there is a picket fence. I thank the Lord everyday…
"I was always attracted to the glamorous life and that half an hour with Hugh Grant made me able to buy all the things I'd dreamed of having. That film 'Pretty Woman' seemed to be what my life was about. Hugh Grant was my Richard Gere."
And Brown is convinced the embarrassing incident actually worked in Grant's favor, because he went on to carve out a highly successful movie career.
She adds, "I know he helped to upgrade my future and my family, but I upgraded his, too. He got more recognized and more movies after that night."

WMMR: Locks of Love Video Production
video synopsis by: Gabriel A.
WMMR is not always about doing silly, or rather stupid things in public. They are just being themselves. Being as themselves, they also have a heart. As a matter of fact, WMMR has a kind heart for everyone and this is one good example of how passionate WMMR and all its fans can be.
This video production is an event on 93.3 WMMR for Locks of Love, where fans, staffs, and anyone can participate to donate their hair for the unfortunate people who need them most. Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization based on the United States of America who gives wigs to children who lost their hair due to their medical condition in United States and Canada. They accept donations of human hair and money to make more wigs. Locks of Love goes all around United States non-profitably to achieve this goal. When they reached Philadelphia, 93.3 WMMR was proud to help the organization in fulfilling their goal. So WMMR decided to start the event Locks of Love and announced it on radio along with this subsequent video production.
Not so many people know about the organization and how they can help, but with WMMR's help in broadcasting it on radio, they were overwhelmed by large number of people who are willing to help and sacrifice their long hair to reach out to the children who needs them most. It's amazing to see people who've been caring for their hair to get that long but were willing to give it to charity when the Locks of Love organization came without any second thoughts.
Watch as Kathy Romano donates her hair for the Locks of Love organization as well as the other charitable people of Philadelphia. Can a beard really be made as a wig? I guess if the wearer doesn't know the difference. But it is for charity, and the thought counts more. And one more thing I noticed inside the video, I think a guy actually felt sad at seeing his hair cut off. His eyes looked a bit wet.
This great video production is made possible by Janis Digital Media for 93.3 WMMR. If you need to avail their video production services, just contact them through the website.

Playing online casino games are actually done in two ways: first is playing against one's self as in computer generated games; and second is playing with other people as in live poker rooms. Either which way, players are given the opportunity to bet and have fun with their favorite casino games in the abodes of their homes.
However, it is truly more exciting and fun to be playing with other people, most especially in casinos. Thus, the emergence of live dealer casinos has indeed opened a lot of amazing opportunities for casino players online. There are many advantages that can be derived from live dealer casinos.
The first advantage is real fun and excitement. Live dealer casinos provide the real environment of land based casinos. These are achieved by video streaming live casinos and games, and by studio casinos. Studio casinos are designed and decorated to look like real casinos. Moreover, all the essentials of real casinos are also incorporated into studio casinos.
Thus, with all these inclusions, players could not detect the difference between these live casinos and real casinos at all.
The second advantage is having real dealers shuffle cards and spin wheels for games such as blackjack and roulette. The presence of these live dealers shows that the games are done in real time and are not just computer generated. Moreover, live dealers also provide that special aura that is only unique to casinos.
The third advantage is the authenticity of the games. Blackjack and roulette are two of the most popular casino games that are played in live dealer casinos. Just like in real casinos, players in live dealer casinos also play for fun and for money. Therefore, if these are some of the objectives that players have in playing casino, then the authenticity of the game is very important. Since time immemorial, players have always questioned the credibility of computer generated gambling, such that these games are getting less popular. However, with live dealer casinos, players are assured that the games are real. If these games are real, then the bets and the fair chances of winning the games are also real. Thus, live dealer casinos eliminate the doubts that most online casinos trigger.
These advantages are probably the reasons why more and more people are getting involved in live dealer casinos every day. Live dealer casinos have taken online gaming totally. In fact, live dealer casinos are the most popular and the most visited sites recently. Various online gambling websites have incorporated live dealer casinos in their features.
Furthermore, each of these websites offers individual and unique features themselves. Casino players will surely enjoy these games as much as they enjoy real casino games.

affordable hotel, Khaosan Road Dec 22, 2011
this hotel is one of the larger ones on Khaosan road, near the middle. It Is fairly affordably at around 1,000 Baht per night.
each room comes with a clean bed, safe, shower, tv, and AC
the bathroom door however is wood, and considering the bathroom is essentially a shower, the door gets wet every time the shower is used. the doors have become old and weathered because of this. the floor mat for the bathroom was wet when I stayed in the room, and never really dried. from the website photos, most rooms are red and quite beautiful. my room was kind of old and abused, but for the price it wasn't a big deal. Apparently there is a swimming pool in the facility.
My room was on the side facing the street so the noise level was quite high. if you plan to stay out late it's not a big deal but for the early morning travelers who want a good night sleep, I suggest asking for a room further into the facility.
there is a cafe/coffee shop, internet cafe, and 7-11 attached to the building which is convenient.
Happy travels!!

Budget Accommodation - Koh San Road Apr 03, 2011
Negatives - Staff not overly helpful or friendly. Reading other reviews of the hotel this is seems to be a common theme. Some people may complain about the noise from the street but i didn't find this too bad, especially if the windows r kept shut, and after all this is Koh San Road!
Positives - Great location in the heart of Koh San with a pool. Pool is gret to have as Bangkok can get humid and it is also nice to retreat to when the roads gets too much.
Backpackers welcome.
Clean and Tidy.
I stayed here 3 times during my backpacking travels thru Asia. I stayed in their most basic room (not advertised online) and found it basic but clean and comfortable and then upgraded to deluxe double for my next 2 stays. I actually had more problems with the upgraded rooms as although the decor was far nicer, we had to move rooms due to damp(after complaining to/arguing with the hotel staff)

Here is the link: http://inn.khaosanpalace.com/?gclid=CMXT9JKKy6UCFcJ56wod1g6Vjw
I booked this hotel online before my arrival into Bangkok. When I got to the hotel, the lady asked me to pay for the full balance before seeing the room. This doesn't usually happen in Asia. Also I am a traveling alone and would prefer a single room, the hotel does offer single room but it's not advertised or available on the website.
Otherwise, the pictures of the room on the website are accurate for the deluxe rooms. The room is clean and the staff does clean it everyday. I really did enjoy staying at this hotel and I ended up staying two extra days. The only downsize is the noise from Khaosan Road, the room has good seal on it's windows which blocks out 90% of the noise. If you are a light sleeper, I would find a quieter street but it is a convenient hotel for a decent price.

Our home from home!!!!! Yay...we love this place, and now they have even done up all their rooma, added hot water, re -tiled all their bathrooms and have funked up their website. The staff have been there for years and they are so friendly, happy and trustworthy.
The cheapest rooms are great value at 700 baht, and although quite small, are perfectly formed. The delux rooms are fantastic and at 900 baht, with funky bathrooms, flatscreen, fridge, dvd player etc again superb value. Add into the mix the pool on the roof, the unbeatable view of Bangkok from the same place and the emergency residents toilets just off Khao San , what more could you possibly want????? ok shut up that was a rhetorical question!!!!!!

Overpriced for what you get Oct 07, 2010
This is supposed to be premium accommodation (For backpackers I mean), the price is premium but the experience is not. The staff are jaded, and not particularly friendly, but that is pretty common in Thailand (Tourist areas). For 900 baht per night, it is overpriced. D&D Inn has everything they offer (Except a safe in room) and it is only 600 baht. The room is a bit sparse, and the bathroom could be from any 200-400 baht hotel in this area, not very nice. I usually stay in 300-600 baht per night places near Khao San, but wanted to try something a bit better and now I wish I stayed at the other hotels. Not much better for way more money. The website shows pictures that don't really tell the whole story.

Great hotel at a reasonable price Jul 31, 2009
I stayed in this hotel in March 2009 for the best part of a week.....after I had spent a few nights in some of the real low budget places around Khaosan road, and this decision was worth the extra money. Comfortable room, clean modern building, and the rooftop pool gives you a great view of the surrounding area. Brilliant place to chill out when recovering from the after effects of the night before. The noise from Khaosan road didn't really bother me much at night as the hotel is set back a little from the main strip anyway, but centrally located for everything that Khaosan Road has to offer.(bars,shops,clubs, etc). Great cheap roadside cafes and street vendors for the budget concious. If you want to try a place a little less manic than the popular Gullivers Tavern for a night out, I would suggest the Gazebo club a few blocks up (laid back, ambient, and some great bands nightly) I intend to stay at the Khaosan Palace Hotel again when I return. Just beware of the late night streetlife of hookers and ladyboys who will be dipping your pockets given half the chance...it does happen. Like any tourist hotspots anywhere....watch your wallet and your valubles!

Who cares if it's inconsistent? It's cheap and convenient! Sep 06, 2008
I've stayed in Khaosan Palace Inn on two occasions. The first one was in July 2005 and the second time in August 2008. Both occasions left me with different experiences. I'll tell you why in a bit.
Khaosan Palace Inn is located at the heart of Khao San Road. So you can party all you want, after which getting back to your room drunk wouldn't be that much of a feat! However, the location might be a disadvantage too because, depending on where your room is, the noise level might be too high for some light-sleepers (thankfully, i sleep like a log). The inn has both single and double rooms, with prices ranging from 450 baht to 650 baht. You also have the option of choosing a room without air-conditioning and naturally, that would cost you less.
More importantly, I realised the inn has old and new rooms (for the same price!). So it really depends on your luck. During my recent stay in Bangkok, I got one of the older rooms. Those rooms are still decent and equipped with basic necessities.. except that the last time i was there, there was a short circuit in my room while i was blow-drying my hair. It was pitch black all of a sudden. Thankfully, I still already had my clothes on! I had to run down a million flights of stairs (which i had to climb back up later on) to the reception to get the electricity back on! Moreover, my room was very near the main street, so it was a little noisy. However, if you prioritize convenience and location, if you're not too picky and if you're just staying there for a night or two, even staying in the older rooms is good enough.
In 2005, I stayed in the spanking new rooms (they're probably not that spanking new now) and for the price I paid, my stay was more than pleasant. The newer rooms are also located further in and not too close to main street of Khao San, so you won't get the noise from the bars and streets.
I've also noticed they have increased the prices since I last stayed there in 2005! Not to worry though. You always have the option to check out the rooms before paying for them. In fact, the staff insisted that I checked the rooms before paying, haha! If the room isn't satisfactory, it isn't that hard to find a place elsewhere to stay for the night!

Noisy at night Aug 24, 2008
Khaosan Palace Hotel is a big hotel on Khaosan road.
It's right next to one of Seven Elevens. Of course it's on Khaosan road, you can enjoy your night life or even during the day.
I stayed at double room and was a little bit over 500 baht, A/C, TV and towles. If you want to stay a room with fan is much cheaper. But the bed was really comfortable :)
My room wasn't big. It has only one bed and a tiny table beside the bed and a noisy chair. The bathroom was pretty clean.
One thing I don't recomment is that it's really really noisy at night. As you know, Khaosan road doesn't sleep til in the morning. If you get up early in the morning to catch a bus, train or plane, it's not a good place to stay but the price is really great.
They'll keep your luggage after you checked out. It's only 20baht each bag.
Reception girls are really nice and helpful.
They have interent at ground floor but kinda pricy and didn't look good. They have 4 or 5 computers. I don't remember the price. I think it's about 30 baht/30 minutes. Or less..

Khaosan Palace is a hotel jsut off Koh San Road in Bangkok. Thus is 1 of the more classier places in Koh San road and is still reasonably priced. We got a twin room, with air-con, hot shower and a TV for 600 BAHT. The room was clean and a reasonable size with 2 decent sized single beds. The bathroom was a little small but was clean and the hot shower worked. The room was supplied with 2 towels and 2 sheets/blankets. Teh TV had about 14 channels with both regional Thai channels and BBC world news, discovery and Eurosport.
Ths sign did state they had a swimming pool but i did not go looking for it during my stay there. The staff on the desk were friendly and efficient and had reasonable English. They allowed you to go look at the room before deciding as well which was a nice touch.
Overall, I'd highly recommend Hhaosan Palace Inn if you want some luxuries, easy access to Koh Sa Road, a quiet nights sleep and all at a reasonable price

It doesn't get much more smack-dab-in-the-middle of the farang-filled travellers' ghetto of Thanon Khao San than the Khao San Palace. It's far from spectacular, but if you're not looking for 5-star luxury (and if you want to stay on Khao San Road, chances are you're not), the Khao San Palace is probably a small step above (both in price and in quality) the rest of the budget guesthouses. The rooms are clean, the service is friendly and efficient, and the rooftop pool - although small - provides the option of a decent break from the heat and chaos of Bangkok.
There are both fan and AC rooms, although the non-AC rooms are in a less plush wing closer to the street, and noise can definitely be an issue. The mattresses are also a little on the lumpy side.
A standard double is 400 baht without AC, 600 baht with AC. There are single rooms listed on the price sheet for about 70% of the cost of an equivalent double, but it's not clear how many there are, so you may end up having to pay for a double room anyway.

A WINNING FIRST EFFORT – A holiday craft fair, the first of its kind conducted by the Lower Pottsgrove Elementary School Parent-Teacher Organization, attracted dozens of vendors Saturday (Dec. 8, 2012) to the gymnasium at the school on Buchert Road. Show Co-Chairman Mindy Kern said the group was pleased by the turnout to what it hopes will become an annual affair. The show featured a variety of high-quality handmade and other items that solved problems faced by many buyers with gift lists. Proceeds benefited PTO programs at the school, which serves Pottsgrove School District students in grades 3-5.

Without a win at home all season, David Di Michele admits it will take a flawless performance on Sunday to overcome League leaders Juventus.
Serse Cosmi's Giallorossi have now entered their eighth month in search of a home win since the last one in May. Welcoming the unbeaten Old Lady this weekend, striker Di Michele reflected on Friday that it will take a significant effort to collect three points in Week 17.
"Last year against Juventus we played the perfect game," said Di Michele, in reference to February 2010's 2-0 win over the Bianconeri. "We hope to have a game this Sunday that is just as nice, especially on a psychological level.
"Only with the right concentration, determination and bite can we beat Juve, a team that from last season has changed greatly."
Lecce are currently bottom of the League, six points adrift of safety and without a win from their last six games played. Di Michele hinted that where their situation has had an affect on morale, it won't change the effort put in this weekend.
"We are training a little 'in the moment', but when you face big teams, the motivation is greatest. They have a mentality in their group and a Coach who is doing a great job.
"We will have to be good and play a perfect match - we have our strengths, which when expressed correctly, may give us a lot of satisfaction."

Flower Essences
Flower Essences are a form of Vibrational Energy Medicine. Flower Essences are organic tasteless, smell-less and colorless liquid, taken orally in dropper form underneath the tongue or in a glass of water. They are made from organic potentized plant preparations that convey a distinct imprint, and etheric pattern that works with the life force within each one of us for spiritual, psychological growth and healing.
We are all made up of energy. Flower Essences work on the subtle energy fields of our body, mind and spirit by working at the different wavelengths, frequencies and auras of our core (unconscious and subconscious) being. Flower Essences are very similar to Homeopathy, the difference is that Flower Essences work more on the mental/emotional/spiritual planes of our being, where Homeopathy works more on the physical plane of our being.
An example of this is how your cell phone picks up energy frequencies for it too work. Every living organism is made up of energy frequencies/vibrations. Naturally, we want our own energy frequencies as high as possible! By doing this with yourself, you actually raise every other living organisms energy field, as well as our planets! So hopefully, one day we can be a disease-free, and peaceful world?
I have also taken it a step further and made the liquid tinctures into lotions, creams, sprays and room purifiers. They have subtle properties that work and heal from the unconscious & subconscious mind. Flower Essences bring awareness into the conscious mind so that the healing, cleansing, and clearing out of the old/negative/stuck energy patterns that you carry in your body, mind and soul's cell memory-DNA can be performed. These flower essences also protect you from environmental, emotional and mental stresses. They do not have any drug interactions as they work from a different plane so you can never overdose on them either. Some examples are: viruses, infections, negative energy etc. They are also excellent for animals mental, emotional, & physical wellbeing as well as any behavior issues.
Flower Essences have psychological/vibrational properties that work on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual planes/auras of the mind/body. These Essences are very fast acting and help alleviate symptoms, problems, or issues that have been long standing or just for everyday problems. Flower Essences help keep you in balance, which allows you to function, better on a daily basis. It is like having your very own "personalized support system" 24 hours a day!
*Flower Essences can be made individually for each person and are sold in liquid and lotion applications (can include up to 10 different essences per bottle, jar, & spray) .

I would be quite happy to see it discouraged in PAGL. I agree with Daniel that it seems excessive to get HTTP to do it on a 'clean' properties basis. I am also concerned that there are a number of people out there using HTML in situations where it is not delivered by HTTP. In Australia it is very common to use CD-ROM - most Universities, and many government and quasi-governmental information bodies use this, because the telecommunications infrastructure cannot support connections of any real quality. (For outback Australia a 28.8 modem will generally outstrip the capacity of the phone/data network). So the more that we rtely on HTTP to do, the more that these systems are going to fall between the cracks and not work properly. And since we cannot build telecommunications hardware, we should try to avoid the situation. --Charles McCathieNevile W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (visiting) email: firstname.lastname@example.com telephone: +1 (617) 258 8143 mail: LCS, 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, USA http://purl.oclc.org/net/charles On Wed, 9 Dec 1998, Al Gilman wrote: to follow up on what Daniel Dardailler said: > Danield: related to Browser sniffing, it is a server issue but we > could ask the HTTP WG to add a note about it > Charles: do we want to add negocation of UA capabilities > there are other ways to do that (CSS + media) Did we agree to take this issue back to the CG?

For those of you who aren't familiar with 21's, they are generally performed with barbell curls. However, I was introduced to them as a chest exercise for the first time yesterday.
Basics of 21's for those who don't know.
First 7 reps are usually from the bottom of your lift to the midpoint, next 7 are from the top to the midpoint, and final 7 are your normal lift...no break...you do 21 in a row.
I had already put up 275 and done several sets of reps at 205 so I figured I'd be safe and just throw 135 on the bench.
I first brought the bar down to my chest and my spotter then put his hands palm-down (not to heal my chi) about 6" above my chest. I performed 7 very controlled reps from my chest to the bottom of his hands and on the 7th rep all the way up. My spotter then flipped his hands over and I performed 7 reps the other way. I then finished up with the normal 7 reps...on the last 2 my arms were shaking and I was hurting and crying like a schoolgirl.
Today my chest hurts worse than it has in a longtime. I'm not a master weightlifter by any means, but I could see where this might be a good exercise to shock your chest from time to time. Oh and you can piss off about the bench not being a practical exercise...I still like it. =P

Yeah, I had refresh/regen/regain for a short period when the negative auras went poof, and none of those came from my trusts.
Yeah, I had refresh/regen/regain for a short period when the negative auras went poof, and none of those came from my trusts.
A LS mate and I just had a look at Intense Very Difficult Ambuscade.
1 main Lamia NM with 2 adds. We wiped, obviously as there were only two of us. The SMN did a 9.8k Volt Strike on one of the adds which knocked it down to 93%. The other add hit me with almost looked like a Shadowbind type move, but instead of Bind, you got petrified. It isn't a gaze attack as I was facing away from it.
Alright, so SC+MB doesn't seem to be swapping it. Not sure what I did to swap its auras, but this time I've done three big bursts with no change. Maybe I'm not hitting hard enough, idk. But I imagine I'm missing the mechanic.
Edit: And at some point while I was typing this, he swapped over randomly. Took huge amounts of extra physical damage during the positive aura though; I went from ~4k CDC to 16k and 19k CDC. But the hell? I have no idea what's going on to cause this change. XD
Edit2: LSMate just did VD Flan, said it had an Meva-, Mdef-, Addle aura instead. He went in as a manaburn setup. So I am completely idk clueless. \o/
Flan has the expected resistance to physical and increased damage taken to magic. Seems fairly easily stunnable as my autos ws stunned it about as often as it does xp mobs and this was on VD. Seems to only cast ice/water/stone aga 2/3
At some point near the end I'm not sure what happened but my ranged dmgs quadrupled and the skillchain dmg off those ws increased by an extra double. ie if ws was 2k and resulted in 3k skillchain after whatever happened it went to 8k and 24k. Actually did a 70k gravitation in there. Looking back thru the logs though it seems like skillchain dmg compared to closing ws was slowly going up thru the fight. Though even those were odd. Was doing 4 step skillchains; liquefaction -> fusion -> gravitation. You'd expect the dmg multipliers to get bigger each step but instead the fusion would be the biggest and gravitation the smallest on earth day. Maybe weak to light strong to dark/earth? Maybe once it takes enough it switches modes?
Aura took my evasion from 859 to 809 and def from 953 to 714 so I'd say -50 evasion -25% def. rr recast went to 75 seconds with no haste/fast cast
So think the modes just might be a time based thing again. Pretty much exactly 1 minute after aggro I got the bad aura, exactly 2 minutes after it wore off it did some self move animation and got the dmg boost then 1 minute after bad auras again
We had one more go at VD Intense Ambuscade. x2 PUP and a COR. The adds are /NIN kiteable, so for a non-pet setup this is an option. I was able to hold the main NM + one add with my PLD auto for the most part until something took it's health from about 90% down to 8% instantly. I couldn't get to it in time to use Repair, and it caused a wipe. The other PUP popped Overdrive and had one add nearly dead solo.
Sadly, I was too far away to see what it was that took my puppet's health down so far so I'm unable to provide any info on that.
The fuck is going on with Homam having that strange job list? Did they wanted to make a new acc melee set for mage jobs?
Then they could have avoided the Macc and put something more useful for DD in there? Like you know, attack? And if that was the purpose then why the silly DT-? Which is in small amounts so hardly anything noteworthy?
The haste levels on Head and Feet are lower than usual as well, whereas the legs have higher than usual value.
I'm confused...
New belt for MNK is hot, but fuck paying 100 mils for that, is it a T0?
Staff for SMN is like a mini-nirvana.
Gonna be hot for physical BPs, maybe for Flaming Crush too?
Rest is, I dunno, why even release only a certain amount of weapons instead of releasing at least one weapon of each type as they usually do?
I wonder if the sword enhancing thing on hands works for RUN's runes as well.
Altough I'm afraid even if it does, it would hardly make it anything noteworthy, but maybe something fun to play with?
So yeah definitely timed on flan and right before it mode changes it does some kind of animation that reminds me of Xenoglossia but I don't see anything in the log. Basically just durdle for 3 minutes (might be some way to force it out sooner like some previous ones) and then kill it literally in a few second. Like think I only got it down to around 60-80% this time by the time it hit 3 minute mark since was actually trying to stall and bam dead in a couple of skillchains and dead
See, we didn't even wait that long. We switched to a setup of GEO BLM WHM BLU BLU NIN. Spam WS as normal, when it switches to slow aura we just did SC+Burst, because it took fairly decent magic damage. We just did Shun > Savage > CDC for easy double light while our BLM burst thunder spells, was pretty fast. At least this one seems pretty spammable.
Oh yeah you can just power thru before that since flans are super squishy to magic. But this just makes it so basically anyone that can survive 3 minutes once that's up
COR and RNG sound like useful DD for the flan. Strong physical WS (Savage/Last Stand), very strong magical WS (Leaden/Trueflight/WF), can ignore slow aura by just shooting for TP when slow aura is up.
Windower stuff should all be updated.
Here is the issues tracker if you have issues:
Is ashitacast broken? I keep getting exception access violation after the update and noticed my meditate macro doesnt do jack. Halp q.q
That Was +1 staff is looking uncomfortably close to Nirvana
That said, the goal is to eventually bring every plugin over to 3 and if you have requests for certain ones to be expedited I'm sure it can be done. Whether it's today or next update, eventually v2 will be completely defunct.

KANSAS CITY - Clemson practically held open auditions for point guards this week in practice.
Greg Buckner tried his hand at the lead spot. So did Merl Code. Even hulking Iker Iturbe stood out at the top of the key and ran the offense a time or two.
No, Terrell McIntyre hasn't landed in Rick Barnes' doghouse. Quite the contrary.
It's just that with the NCAA Tournament starting today - 13th-seeded Miami of Ohio is the opponent - the Tigers (21-9) decided they had better do something to counteract all the extra attention McIntyre has been getting.
The trend has been building over the last third of the season. Tired of watching the 5-foot-9 dynamo blow through the middle with dribble drives, opponents have been shading an extra man in McIntyre's direction.
Then came last Friday's loss to Maryland in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
The Terrapins harassed McIntyre with double teams when he had the ball and vigorous denial once he gave it up. At times it appeared all five Maryland players were keeping an eye on the Clemson point guard.
"If it wasn't five guys, it sure felt that way," McIntyre said Thursday before Clemson's workout at Kemper Arena. "It was surprising. We weren't prepared for it."
The man called "Boogie" managed just nine points on 2-of-8 shooting and the befuddled Tigers suffered a quick exit.
It's hard to boogie when you can't even breathe.
If Miami tries the same approach today, the Tigers say they will be ready. McIntyre will simply slide to the wing and run his man through a maze of screens. His teammates have already been instructed to get him the ball.
"Coach Barnes is just trying to find a way for us to get Terrell more scoring opportunities," said Buckner, a 6-4 junior forward. "We've got so many people that can play the point. This way Terrell doesn't have the burden of taking the ball up against pressure all the time.
"This should make us more difficult to guard."
McIntyre remains Clemson's second-leading scorer (13.3 average) and top 3-point threat. But over the last 12 games he is shooting just 35 percent and his assist-to-turnover ratio (56-30) has suffered.
The switch isn't permanent. With 5-11 sophomore Rob Mestas likely to guard McIntyre, it may not even be necessary for today's game. But the next time somebody pulls a Maryland on them, the Tigers want to be ready.
"It will help in a lot of ways and it will hurt in some ways," Code said. "Terrell has been our main ballhandler all year long. He really gets us going on the offensive end. He scores for us, gets other guys the ball where they need it, when they need it.
"But at the same time, he's one of our better scorers. Whoever's playing point guard, we have to distribute the ball as he would if he were playing the point."
NOTES: Buckner, Clemson's leading scorer, suffered a sprained ankle Thursday morning in a light workout but his mobility didn't seem hampered Thursday afternoon. "He just rolled it over," Barnes said. "I know he's worried about it but I think he'll be OK. The tournament's the tournament." .°.°. Barnes, ever the spinmeister, said he had no concerns about his team taking the Redskins lightly. "Clemson should be the underdog," he said. "I don't think the seeds matter. Everybody says Clemson is pretty much done anyway."
