It was a four-goal thriller at the Stadio Via del Mare, as Giuseppe Sculli's brace scraped a point for Genoa against Lecce.
Serse Cosmi's men were coming off back-to-back victories and hoped to take advantage of the fact Genoa now have the worst defensive record in Serie A. Carlos Grossmuller, Massimo Oddo and Julio Sergio were on the treatment table. The visitors had just one point from their last four games and welcomed back Davide Biondini from suspension, but Alberto Gilardino, Luca Antonelli and Cesare Bovo were still sidelined.
Going into this encounter, Genoa had only ever lost one Serie A encounter with Lecce, 2-1 here in January 1990.
Luis Muriel nodded wide from six yards and Juraj Kucka's daisy-cutter skimmed the upright in the early stages.
Genoa took the lead on 21 minutes, as Giuseppe Sculli's back-heel flick was cleared off the line by Leonardo Miglionico, but only after it had already crossed over. Rodrigo Palacio and Bosko Jankovic combined in the build-up at the by-line.
Bad news for Genoa, as Andreas Granqvist fell very heavily on to his right leg and appeared to damage knee ligaments. He was stretchered off in clear pain.
Lecce went close to an equaliser, as Bertolacci ran on to the through ball and Sebastien Frey rushed off his line to close down.
Palacio had the chance to make it 2-0 for Genoa, but the shot went wide under pressure from Moris Carrozzieri after the chest and half-volley.
Serse Cosmi was constantly shouting from the touchline and protesting every decision, so was sent off before half-time for dissent when he asked for Juraj Kucka's second yellow card. Moments later Lecce also felt that Kucka had handled in the box.
There were even more furious protests in first half stoppages, as Muriel seemed to be brought down by Carvalho, but again the referee waved play on.
Cosmi started the second half in the stands, where he was clearly seen shouting into a phone. Kucka aimed two long-range blockbusters at the near post in the space of 30 seconds, both plucked out of the air by Benassi.
Juan Cuadrado picked up an injury, but Lecce did get a deserved equaliser as Muriel burst forward down the left channel from Bertolacci's pass and smashed his shot under the bar beyond Frey.
Di Michele had the ball in the net again moments later, but was clearly offside. At the other end, Bosko Jankovic's fierce free kick shaved a coat of paint off the upright, then Palacio's angled drive was misplaced on a rapid counter-attack.
Benassi palmed another Jankovic free kick out from under the bar, then got down low to block a rare Kakha Kaladze foray forward.
Lecce overturned the result to go 2-1 up in the final nine minutes, as Pierluigi Brivio hit a rocket of a free kick that slotted under the bar with Frey floundering.
However, Genoa pegged it back to 2-2 when a corner found Sculli's heavily deflected header off Guillermo Giacomazzi, completely wrong-footing Benassi.

Hello, I have a 2002 Ford Focus ZTS. Just the other day I was driving it and running errands. I stopped at about four or five different stores. As I was leaving my last store my car wouldn't stay running. I'd turn it on and the engine would start, but it would then turn off right away. I tried giving it gas, and while I was ******* it, it would stay on but as soon as I stopped the engine would die again. I left the car and went in a store for about 15 minutes and when I returned the car turned on and I was able to drive home fine. It's important for me to note that this same thing happened last summer a few times. Every time I'd let the car sit for 15 minutes or so and it would start working again. I've also noticed that every time it's done this it's on really hot day and it's when I'm making multiple stops. Any ideas of what the problem could be?
have the same problem?

Given the recent police shootings and a growing awareness of the kind of danger our law enforcement officers face each day, more and more people are taking the time to express their gratitude to the men and women in blue.
Which is a great thing, though it's certainly a shame it takes such tragedy to put it into our minds.
Sometimes showing our appreciation can be as simple as saying thank you or handing a cop a bottle of water on a hot day or a cup of coffee on a rainy one. But perhaps you've been thinking of doing a little something more. If you're able to show appreciation to all the officers at your local department, then by all means do so! If not, find a way to be a blessing to a police officer who lives in your neighborhood, patrols your street, or who you sometimes see at the corner convenience store.
If you need some ideas, here are 5 great ways to say thanks. Four of them offer free printables to complete your gift.
These Police Thank You Cards from Teachers Pay Teachers get the kids involved in saying thank you. They are a perfect expression of gratitude all by themselves, but would be awesome paired with one of the simple gifts following.
The "You're a Lifesaver" Bags from Long Wait for Isabella give simple, but thoughtful expressions of thanks to an officer. I also love the scripture on the back of these printable cards, because they speak so well to what our officers do on a daily basis. "Give justice to the weak and the fatherless, maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute, rescue the weak and the needy…" Psalm 82:3-4
The Police Officer Appreciation Bags from Smashed Peas and Carrots are a fun way to say thanks to law enforcement. Who doesn't want those candies to begin with, but the note explaining each candy's meaning adds a special touch.
For a more practical gift for a police officer, check out these Appreciation Gift Baggies from I Save A to Z. They include sensible gifts like hand sanitizer, tissues, and lip balm, plus an energy shot, which can probably come in handy from time to time!
While this Donut Police Appreciation Gift from Salt and Pepper Moms was actually designed with teachers in mind, it just fits police officers too well for me not to include it! Yes, the whole doughnut and police officers thing is very stereotypical, but then again I don't know many people who can't appreciate a good doughnut, no matter what they're occupation! Anyway, attach these printable labels to jars filled with mini donuts or to a giant box of donuts from your local doughnut shop. Trust me, I don't think the stereotype will be too offensive for them to enjoy your gift! 😉
Listen, saying thank you matters. We all want to be appreciated, but these men and women put their lives on the line for us daily. The least we can do is take a little time and make a little effort to show them our gratitude.
Thanks so much to all the men and women in blue!

Since radio waves travel a long way it is important that we operate under a set of rules and regulations. This prevents us from causing problems to other users of the radio spectrum including other amateurs. These rules consist of two main elements - the licensing conditions and the band plans. The licensing conditions are printed in the licence booklet available from Ofcom and can be downloaded from the ofcom website. It is vital that you read and understand the contents of the licence document since it form the statutory rules under which you must operate your radio equipment.
The band plan is an advisory "code-of-conduct". It is drawn up by each nation taking account of local needs but following international guidelines. It details which parts of the bands should be used for which types of activity. While the band plan is not legally enforceable, it is recommended that you follow it's guidance absolutely as most licenced radio amateurs do. It is laid out so that each different kind of activity has its own area of the band and the space that it needs to operate in.
As mentioned previously, radio waves can travel an extremely long distance, so it is important that the source of any transmission can be readily identified. For this reason every licenced radio amateur is allocated a callsign by their national government. This callsign follows an internationally agreed format. A station's callsign is unique and will usually only ever be issued to one person.
There are three types of amateur radio licence; Foundation, Intermediate and Full. The higher grades of licence allow the operator increased privileges like higher transmit power and access to a greater number of frequency bands. In addition Intermediate and Full licencees may build their own transmitters whereas those holding a Foundation licence may use only commercially manufactured and approved transmitters or build one using a commercially made and approved kit..
Many other countries do not currently accept the UK Foundation licence .
Foundation Licencees may now operate through satellites or contact the International Space Station.
Your callsign is shown on the licence document sent to you by Ofcom. Callsigns are normally only issued to one individual, so your callsign will not change when you renew your licence unless your licence class changes.
Foundation callsigns begin with "M3 or M6" followed by three letters, e.g. M3ABC. In areas of the UK except England a secondary "regional identifier" is added as given in the table below.
Isle of Man
Northern Ireland
A station in Scotland would therefore be MM3ABC. Note that this secondary identifier must be used whenever transmitting from Scotland even if the licencee lives in England. For example a Welsh amateur allocated the callsign MW3DUF travelling to Scotland would change his callsign to M3DUF when he crossed the English-Welsh border and change again to MM3DUF having crossed the English-Scottish border.
Intermediate licence callsigns begin 2E0 or 2E1 followed by three letters, e.g. 2E1ABC. In areas of the UK except England a secondary "regional identifier" as above is used in place of the "E" e.g. 2J1ABC would be an intermediate licencee operating from Jersey.
Full licencees have callsigns beginning M1 or M0 followed by three letters e.g. M0ABC. The secondary regional identifier is used in the same way as for the Foundation licence e.g. MM1ABC would be a full licencee operating from Scotland.
Historically amateur radio callsigns within the UK began with the letter "G", eg G4RXR, G6AQV. (note G3 is NOT a Foundation licencee, Foundation licence was not available when G3 callsigns were issued). A few years ago all possible letter combinations in the "G" series were used up and so new licences began being issued in the "M" series.
You may also come across much older callsigns with only two letters (e.g. G2CY). There are also special callsigns issued to an individual or group, usually on a temporary basis, to commemorate a special event. These callsigns begin "GB" followed by a number and two or three letters e.g. GB0PC.

Since the dawn of human history, people have tattooed themselves for a variety of reasons. In some cultures an individual's tattoos signify their rank in the social strata, and in others tattoos are given to commemorate historical events, such as the birth of a child or a great victory. In American society, we choose to have ourselves tattooed for a variety of reasons as well. Some people see tattooing as purely artistic, and others will tattoo themselves with phrases or murals that have a personal sentimental meaning. Often individuals will have themselves tattooed to show allegiance with one group or another – such as a fraternity or religious group. And particularly in America, there is a very strong link between tattooing and our car culture.
In this YouTube video we uncovered yet another example of the link between tattooing and American car culture. This particular gearhead most likely chose to endure 6 hours of pain having his 1962 Corvette permanently inked on his back to show his life-long allegiance to The American Sports Car. If this doesn't prove this guy is a hard-core Vette, owner for life, then nothing will. Note the dual quad set up sticking through the hood, as well as the token "USA-1" front license plate. This intricate ink job was laid down by Tattoo Artist George Rupley, at Wylde Sydes Tattoo in San Diego, California.
So, this begs the question: Just how far are you willing to go to show your love for the Corvette?

A farmer is filmed close to tears as he says he "can't live with this" on a video which shows his cows being shot in the head at point blank range because they have been infected with bovine TB.
David Barton allowed cameras onto his farm to film some of the cattle being slaughtered in the hope of reiginiting the badger cull debate, after the Government announced it would not be expanding the programme this year.
In five days more than 100,000 people viewed the video, since it was posted on May 9.
Mr Barton, who is visibly distressed as the killings take place during the two minute film, says he is quitting as a beef farmer because he can't take the emotional stress.
"We can't live with this," he says.
"It's upsetting my whole family, I am distraught about it."
During the video the animals are shown being shot as they stand in their pens eating hay, and then falling to the floor. Mr Barton turns away close to tears as the gunshots are heard.
He says he has a situation "where my hands are tied" and adds: "It's ridiculous - I just hope you are getting the message."
Mr Barton has lost 100 cattle to bovine TB since 2001 including his prized bull Ernie.
The video depicts Ernie and three other cattle being shot after the animals tested positive for bovine TB spread by badgers.
As Ernie, his breeding bull, is about to be shot Mr Barton is emotional as he says "give me a minute with him", before leaving some food for the animal and walking away before the shooting takes place.
In his blog Mr Barton describes the slaughter as "one of the most distressing experiences of my farming life."
The 46-year-old invited the National Farmer's Union (NFU) to his farm in Gloucestershire to film the animals being shot and illustrate the difficulties farmers are facing seeing their prize cattle killed because of the disease.
Meurig Raymond, president of the NFU, said: "Bovine TB is devastating farming families across large parts of the country but its true impact goes largely unseen.
"The video shows the distressing reality that farmers like David have to live with.
"Tens of thousands of cattle are slaughtered every year because they have become infected with TB.
"While cattle are being culled, badgers are spreading the disease unchecked. This cannot go on."
The NFU said more than 38,000 cattle were killed in 2012 because they had bovine TB.
Last month the Government announced it would not expand the controversial badger cull this year, following opposition from animal welfare campaigners.
Initially the plan was to announce up to 10 new cull areas in south-west England for the next four years.
But Defra's own independent assessment showed the culls in two pilot areas were not effective, and raised questions about their humaneness.
The pilot culls will continue but there will be no independent oversight to assess their future performance.
Owen Paterson, the environment secretary, said he would propose a programme of vaccination around the edges of the worst affected parts of the country to create a buffer zone of immunity that would stop the disease from spreading.
He told the House of Commons: "If we do not control TB, the bill will rise to £1bn over the next decade.
"It is vital that farmers, vets, non-government organisations and politicians work together to free England of TB."

Retailers are used to throwing big sales. On Tuesday, it was investors who unloaded shares in several big retail chains, dragging down U.S. stocks and wiping out small gains from a day earlier.
Disappointing earnings from Staples, Dick's Sporting Goods, Urban Outfitters and others triggered the selling spree.
The downturn in retail stocks came in a slow week for economic news and ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, which contributed to lighter-than-usual trading volumes. The weakness stirred fresh concerns about the retail sector and the outlook for consumer spending in the U.S.
"The fact that we're seeing such widespread weak growth among retailers means many (investors) are extrapolating that to the rest of the year," said Kate Warne, an investment strategist at Edward Jones.
Dick's Sporting Goods plunged 18 percent after its earnings and revenue fell short of what investors were expecting. The stock fell $9.56 to $43.60. Staples dropped 13 percent after the office-supply chain said its earnings fell sharply in the latest quarter. Staples slid $1.68 to $11.71.
Also reporting weak sales: Urban Outfitters and TJX, the parent company of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and other stores.
Home Depot bucked the trend, even though its latest quarterly results fell short of Wall Street's expectations. The company also raised its full-year earnings forecast. Its stock climbed $1.46, or 2 percent, to $77.96.
U.S. index futures fell early Tuesday, before the opening of regular stock trading, as investors reacted to the dismal earnings results. The market opened lower and remained in the red the rest of the day. The selling accelerated around midday.
"It seems like this is more about taking some profits on stocks that have enjoyed some nice profits and kind of reassessing as to what they want to do with their investments," said JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 12.25 points, or 0.7 percent, to close at 1,872.83. The index is up 1.3 percent for the year. Nine of the 10 sectors in the index fell, led by telecommunications stocks. The only one that rose was utilities. Investors tend to favor that sector when they want to play it safe with low-risk stocks that pay steady dividends.
The Dow Jones industrial average slid 137.55 points, or 0.8 percent, to end at 16,374.31. The Nasdaq composite index dropped 28.92 points, or 0.7 percent, to finish at 4,096.89.
The Dow and Nasdaq remain down for 2014.

Web analytics firm StatCounter, which has been reporting a steady decline in Internet Explorer market share, has issued an extensive defense of its research techniques in an open letter to Microsoft's Roger Capriotti, the IE product marketing director who previously challenged the research company's statistical methods.
StatCounter contends that its numbers are a more accurate representation of real browser usage than those of Net Applications, a competing research firm that shows an increase in Internet Explorer usage over the same time period.
Among other things, StatCounter cites its sample size of 3 million websites (compared with 40,000 for Net Applications) and says its assessment of browser usage in China is a better representation of actual usage there. The company also explains its use of page views and other techniques it uses to determine browser market share.
The post concludes, "At the end of the day Roger, whether you like it or not, we're telling you this: On a sample exceeding 15 billion page views per months to over 3 million global websites IE is not doing very well… Don't shoot the messenger though Roger! We just record the stats."
Alon Zakai, a platform engineer for Mozilla Firefox, disputes StatCounter's contention about the superiority of its sample size, based on the laws of statistics.
Microsoft issued this statement on the StatCounter post …
We stand by our assessment that Net Applications provides a more accurate analysis of the browser landscape. To give just one example, we simply cannot rely on a data source that suggests there are only 23 million Chinese citizens online. (StatCounter global market share for China shows 1.17% of the world internet traffic when reliable data from The World Bank puts that number at 460 million. Other sources like CNNIC puts it at 513 million at the end of 2011, and Internet World Stats puts it at 420 million in 2010).
It is also unfortunate that StatCounter decided to respond to our critique of their data by staging a personal attack on one of our employees. We believe in a healthy dialogue and personal attacks in a professional environment are unwarranted.
Internet Explorer has been facing increasing competition from Google Chrome, which StatCounter showed overtaking IE in global market share in May, the first time Chrome has claimed that status for a calendar month. Net Applications showed Internet Explorer still well ahead of Chrome in desktop market share for the same month.
Microsoft has been seeking to direct attention to the growth of its latest browser, IE9, on Windows 7.

As most of you know, I am a football referee and work games at all levels from small kids up through semi-pro. High school varsity games, "Friday Night Lights," are by far the most fun and the most demanding. And while I haven't posted before about my games, the one I worked Friday night was a game for the ages!
Skyview at Columbia River – these two schools are fierce rivals. When Skyview was built about 14 years ago, many of the students came from River as the territories for the two schools are adjacent. This game has blossomed over the years into a fierce rivalry, though Skyview has been the victor the last 4 years.
So this past Friday night, we had the electricity in the air for the game along with a full house, standing room only crowd. The game was a seesaw battle all night. Tied going into the 4th quarter at 17 all, with 1:45 on the clock, River scored a touchdown but the extra point was blocked. Score 23-17 River.
Skyview get the ball back on the ensuing kickoff and quickly marches downfield and with 39 seconds left, scores a TD and makes the extra point. Score now 24-23 Skyview, and all the standing fans are on the track just off the field.
Skyview does a squib kick to prevent the long return and River recovers just past their 40. Several plays later, they have a second down near the Skyview 18, and with 7 seconds left, elect to go for a field goal.
The kick is blocked and the Skyview players are jumping for joy at their victory and their fans are celebrating loudly on their sideline. But the ball is still on the field and a River player after a few seconds realizes that it is a live ball, grabs it and runs it in for the game winning TD. Final score – River 29, Skyview 24.
Coach from Skyview wants to know the ruling which I give him. Basically, a scrimmage kick (Punt or FG) can be recovered behind the line of scrimmage and be advanced by either team. He isn't happy with that (probably doesn't believe me) but goes back to his team.
Later we hear that the athletic directors from the school are protesting the result and say that they have conclusive video that a player covered the ball on the ground ending the play.
Here are three videos from the Columbian with different vantage points on the play:
Additionally, here is a link to the most recent story of this exciting game ender in the Columbian: click here.
I'm very proud of the crew I worked with that night. Had any one of us blown a whistle, it would have killed the play and been what we call an "inadvertent whistle" which necessitates a replay of the down. In this case, it would have given River another attempt at the field goal which would really have upset Skyview because now, the officials would have affected the outcome. Well done Ric, Kevin, Ryan and Scott!

if describing the current mood of mysteries, I'd say social realism is bubbling to the surface most frequently, as evidenced by titles exploring grim topics such as drug abuse, war injuries, femicide in Juárez, racism during World War II, and prostitution through the centuries.
On a lighter note, you'll see that the food truck craze has made it to our corner. Cleo Coyle takes her coffeehouse on the road with the Muffin Muse in A Brew to a Kill. Chris Knopf uses his food truck, Grub on the Go, to get closer to a bad guy's laptop in Dead Anyway.
If you thought vampires were passé, think again, and look at how Jaden Terrell continues her intense exploration of vampire-enamored teen culture in A Cup Full of Midnight. Historically speaking, R.N. Morris has this covered in his dark Summon Up the Blood.
"Shane! Come back!" Romance columnist Kristin Ramsdell and I both noticed an uptick in cowboys in our reading, so be sure to take a look at our anecdotal comparisons of how the men in chaps are presented in our respective genres.
I am so impressed with the new look (as of this spring) of Soho Press's website. If you click on the "South of Houston blog" icon on the page, you'll be taken to such offerings as the "Classic Crime Read-Along" series (a mini-RA course you can take or share with patrons), a Soho Press book club, "Friday Reads," and assorted social media posting opportunities. Did you know Soho is introducing a Soho Teen line in early 2013? January's release: Jacquelyn Mitchard's Things We Saw at Night .
Watch this fall for a new lineup from Seventh Street Books. This mystery and thriller imprint from Prometheus Books rolls out two titles, Mark Pryor's The Bookseller and Erec Stebbins's The Ragnarök Conspiracy, in October. Seventh Street will also reissue classic mysteries. First up this November is Skulduggery, the debut entry in a line of Carolyn Hart classics (with new introductions written by Hart).
Speaking of reissues, Kenneth Wishnia's cult favorite sleuth Filomena Buscarsela is back this month with 23 Shades of Black, thanks to PM Press. If your library hasn't made the acquaintance of the groundbreaking NYPD detective from Ecuador, here's your chance. All five titles in the series will be reissued by PM in the coming months. Welcome back, Fil!
Delany, Vicki. More Than Sorrow. Poisoned Pen. Sept. 2012. c.304p. ISBN 9781590589854. $24.95; pap. ISBN 9781590589878. $14.95. M
War correspondent Hannah Manning is fighting to recover from a severe brain injury while staying with her sister's family on their Ontario farm. Hannah feels useless; she sleeps, she has terrifying visions, and most problematic, she suffers from long blackouts. Her niece, however, adores her and introduces Hannah to their neighbor, Hila, an Afghani refugee who is being sponsored by a local couple. When Hila disappears and her corpse is found in the woods days later, Hannah becomes a person of interest. Military intelligence is brought in for interrogations, and Hannah knows in her gut that something sinister is at work. Concurrently, Hannah channels visions of a ghostly woman whenever she goes into her family's root cellar; this story goes back into the late 1700s, when American colonists loyal to the British crown fled the newly established United States. VERDICT In a change of pace from her Con. Molly Smith mysteries (Among the Departed), Delany has written a splendid Gothic thriller with a theme of strong women throughout history. Readers will be captivated by the haunted root cellar and how Delany contrasted one woman's struggles in the past with the plight of contemporary refugees. Match with Deborah Lawrenson's The Lantern or Katherine Howe's The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane.
Knopf, Chris. Dead Anyway. Permanent. Sept. 2012. c.288p. ISBN 9781579622831. $28. M
When a hit man shows up at Arthur Cathcart's home and assassinates his wife, Arthur is badly wounded, but not quite dead, and his physician sister is able to get him back on his feet. Angry Arthur has mapped out a strategy to make everyone to think he's dead, and he's concocted an elaborate alternative identity plan so he can track down the hit man himself. Since Arthur was a professional researcher, his prowess with online detecting is quite remarkable. His audacious plan is both psychologically chilling and exciting as the plot burrows through the bowels of underworld Connecticut. Running the supreme con, Arthur pulls in his prey. VERDICT Knopf's tale is suspenseful from the get-go, with an intellectual, yet visceral, vigilantism coursing through the pages. In a major change in direction, the author of the "Sam Acquillo Hamptons Mysteries" (Black Swan; Hard Stop) never misses an angle and manages to weave a bit of humor into a storyline that could have been purely dark. This bodes well for a really good series and is reminiscent of Richard Stark's (aka Donald Westlake) Parker novels with a dose of Grosse Point Blank.
Penny, Louise. The Beautiful Mystery. Minotaur: St. Martin's. Sept. 2012. c.384p. ISBN 9780312655464. $25.99. M
Penny's (A Trick of the Light) eighth elegant entry in her Agatha Award–winning series is a locked-room mystery set in a remote monastery deep in the wilderness of northern Québec. There are 24 cloistered monks. One is dead. There are only 23 suspects. The monks have taken a vow of silence, except that they made the most beautiful recording of Gregorian chant ever heard. And it caused a schism. And then a murder. Chief Inspector Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir of the Sûreté du Québec come to investigate the murder and the difficulties in this formerly peaceful order that caused it. It also brings the viper within the Sûreté to this remote place and exposes the rot inside Gamache's own house. VERDICT This heart-rending tale is a marvelous addition to Penny's acclaimed series. Fans won't be disappointed. [See Prepub Alert, 7/5/12.]—Marlene Harris, Reading Reality LLC, Atlanta

A singing contest online is a simple way to display talents. It's also a great way to gain experience if you want to go professional in the near future. It does not matter how well you sing right now. What matters is that you will become better if you take the time and practice each day.
Here are the things you need to know about online singing contests:
Singing Contest Online Tips
Choose the Right Songs for You
Even the best singers are not the best at singing any song. They are the best at what they do. They don't try to be or do something that feels unnatural for them.
They also don't reinvent themselves very often. One exception is Madonna who regularly changes everything about her. She is the exception. She's one among the many.
This is why you need to choose the particular songs that are close to your personality. Once you gain more experience, you can try completely different ones. Become very good at the basics before expanding.
Choose your Favorite Songs
If you truly love the songs, your voice will automatically sound better. When you pay attention to a song, you are automatically influenced by the emotions it broadcast. Invest yourself emotionally in the process and you'll sound 10 times better.
Learn from the Best
Don't neglect getting some training. Learn from the people who have already done it. Don't try to copy them. Simply learn from them ways to become better than you were yesterday.
They will teach the technical side of singing but they will also teach you psychological ways to impress the audience and the judges.
Remember Your Unique Gifts
We are all unique. Our strength comes from remember that we are unique. It doesn't come from following what others have done before us. This is why, in order to stand out even during a signing contest online it's much better to put your own spin on things. People can not help but respond to this authenticity.
A singing contest online can be a great and fun experience. It can also become a fun hobby or a step towards a professional singing career. Learn more today about singing contest Online, read some more.

Glen Andresen's Five Takeaways vs. St. Louisby Glen Andresen / Minnesota Wild
Nov. 15:at Columbus
Nov. 13: at Anaheim
Nov. 12: at Los Angeles
Nov. 10: at San Jose
Nov. 8: at Calgary
Nov. 5: vs. St. Louis
If it's possible to have playoff intensity in an NHL game before Thanksgiving, we got it tonight. Two of the hottest teams in the NHL squared off and went full throttle for 65 minutes and more. To put it simply, the Wild's 3-2 shootout win over St. Louis was the most entertaining start-to-finish game out of this season's first 20.
In a game like this, the best players are the best players and the goaltenders are at the top of their games. Both were true tonight. Mikko Koivu and T.J. Oshie were forces for their teams. Koivu scored both goals for the Wild, and Oshie had a goal and an assist. They also both scored in the shootout.
"He's a pretty good player," deadpanned Head Coach Mike Yeo. "I thought he was outstanding. I thought he was really, really good last game too. As things went along, he was demanding the puck and making plays and driving his feet. Real tough to defend and he did a heck of a job carrying it into today's game."
As for the goalies, Josh Harding and Jaroslav Halak traded huge save after huge save, with each stop getting progressively more impressive as the end drew closer.
Both teams deserved a point, but the Wild got two, and now appear to be ready to take the top spot in the Western Conference with Chicago losing to Edmonton.
On one play, Koivu showed just about everything that makes him so valuable to this team. Smarts, defensive instincts, quick hands and a wicked shot.
Trailing 1-0 in the second and killing a penalty, Koivu stalked Patrick Berglund on his way to retrieve a puck behind the St. Louis net. Most players in Koivu's position would simply glide in, make Berglund make a pass and then get ready to race back to the defensive zone.
Koivu looked like he was doing that, but then he darted behind the net to intercept the pass attempt. He then darted to the front of the net and roofed one over the shoulder of Jaroslav Halak.
Koivu brings so much to this team rather than just offense. It just so happens that offense is what stands out the most, and he certainly brought that big time tonight.
Yet, the intensity level was just as high, if not ratcheted up. Now that the Blues have rattled off nine points in their last five games, they're looking to be contenders. Both teams are trying to show they're for real, and that probably explains the excessive amount of message-sending hits that were delivered.
Cal Clutterbuck was a man possessed, particularly in going after Roman Polak, who drove him into the boards from behind early in the game. On the other side, T.J. Oshie was a man of destruction, absolutely bullying his way to loose pucks. Justin Falk, who is one of the biggest bodies in the Wild lineup, tried to put him into the bench area. Oshie saw it coming and Falk was the one who was sent flying. Not an easy task.
Remember when shootouts were supposed to be a weakness for the Wild? Supposedly it was this season even. Not so anymore. Niklas Backstrom is 2-1 this year, and Harding moved to 1-0 after stopping two of three shots tonight. Even more impressive are the shooters the Wild can trot out there.
Matt Cullen improved to 4-for4 this year after putting away the shootout winner. Koivu improved to 23-of-54 in his career with his sick backhand move. Pierre-Marc Bouchard was denied for the third time this year, but with his moves, I think Yeo will continue to take his chances with Butch on a breakaway.
In his postgame press conference, Yeo said he'd be lying if he didn't look at the standings. We'd be lying if we said that too. Yes, there is three-quarters of the season to play, but the Wild missed the playoffs in the past three seasons. The sports landscape in Minnesota has been a little down recently if you haven't noticed (Minnesota Lynx aside).
When we see our team in first place in the Western Conference, we're going to get excited. So while there are still about four months remaining in the season, I think it's better to be on top at this point than anywhere else.

Congress is running out of time to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), critical legislation that combines criminal justice, social services and community-based initiatives to prevent and respond to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence and stalking.
This spring we told you about the debate in the Senate to pass an inclusive bill that included critical new provisions to protect and support Native American and Alaskan Native women, immigrant women, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals.
Although the Senate managed to pass an inclusive bill, one step forward has meant two steps back as Congress continues to stall on protecting women from violence.

I don't remember how I first found out about Paul Auster's New York Trilogy – it just sort of stumbled onto my reading list. Which is appropriate, because this is one of the most mysterious and baffling books I ever read.
There's no easy way to describe the Trilogy, which is sort-of-but-not-really a spoof of detective novels overlaid with a navel-gazing exploration of identity and what fiction is and how it intersects with reality. Sort of. But not really. The first instalment, City of Glass, follows a writer who assumes the identity of a private detective named Paul Auster (yeah) and becomes obsessed with tracking a creepy client's even creepier father. Book two, Ghosts, is about another private eye, Blue, who also becomes obsessed with a case – watching a man called Black. And part three, The Locked Room, is about a writer who unwittingly takes over the life of a friend.
Reading the trilogy is kind of like watching Lost – for all that TV drama's (many, many) flaws, at its best it summoned up a sense of foreboding mystery, that something dark and deep and important lurked below its surface. The Trilogy evokes that same feeling of ominous, "What the fuck is going here?" wonder. As everyone in the world knows, Lost failed (terribly, horribly failed) at tying it all up into something at the end. But The New York Trilogy succeeds, and it probably succeeds because it doesn't attempt to boil everything down into a straight-forward explanation*. ("They're all in the afterlife!") It just presents a conclusion that is as oblique and utterly batshit as everything that came before it. You either buy it or you don't; I bought it.
*In fairness to Lost, though, the Trilogy doesn't have reams of characters who each need their own semblance of a farewell – which probably makes its opaque ending more palatable.

Gambhir's near-misses, and Levi's sixes
Gautam Gambhir was out twice in a row in the nineties in the CB Series in Australia. Is he the first to suffer this fate in one-day internationals? asked Jamie Thomas from Melbourne
I was quite surprised to discover that Gautam Gambhir - who was out for 92 and 91 in successive matches in Adelaide earlier this month - was actually the 11th batsman to make nineties in successive one-day international innings. The list includes Sourav Ganguly, who had consecutive scores of exactly 90 (against England and Kenya in September 2004), Martin Crowe (two 91s in a row against Australia in March 1993, the first one not out) and, almost inevitably, Sachin Tendulkar (99 and 93 against South Africa in Belfast in 2007). The first man to suffer this double near-miss was Zaheer Abbas, with 93 against West Indies in the 1979 World Cup, then 95 not out in his next ODI innings ... 18 months later, also against West Indies, in Sialkot in December 1980. To complete the list, the others are Alistair Campbell, Michael Clarke, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Rohit Sharma, Shoaib Malik and Kris Srikkanth.
Richard Levi's 117 not out at Hamilton included 13 sixes. Is that a record for international cricket? asked Dennis Morgan from the United States
The 13 sixes in that astonishing assault by the little-known South African player Richard Levi against New Zealand in Hamilton last week did constitute a new record for Twenty20 internationals - previously it was ten, by Chris Gayle in his 117 for West Indies against South Africa in Johannesburg during the inaugural World Twenty20 in 2007-08 (the first century in the new format). But the overall record is 15 sixes, as blasted by Shane Watson in the course of his jet-propelled 185 not out for Australia in a one-day international against Bangladesh in Mirpur last April. The Test record is 12, by Wasim Akram during his 257 not out for Pakistan against Zimbabwe in Sheikhupura in 1996-97.
Which player has been on the losing side most often in Tests? asked Deepu Narayanan from India
This record changed hands quite recently. When West Indies lost the first two Tests of their series in India last November, they were the 63rd and 64th defeats suffered by Shivnarine Chanderpaul. This took him past the old mark of 63, set by his former team-mate Brian Lara (62 defeats for West Indies and one for the ICC World XI). The only other players to have endured a half-century of Test defeats are Alec Stewart and Sachin Tendulkar, both with 54: Rahul Dravid currently sits on 49.
Ricky Ponting captained in 230 one-day internationals - is this a record? asked Carl Browne from Adelaide
Ricky Ponting's brief - and presumably final - return to the Australian captaincy earlier this month meant he has led them on 230 occasions in one-day internationals. The only other man to have skippered in more than 200 is New Zealand's Stephen Fleming, with 213: Arjuna Ranatunga is next with 193. In all, 16 men have led in more than 100 ODIs: one of them, MS Dhoni, recently became the first man to captain and keep wicket in more than 100. He has now done this in 118 ODIs: Andy Flower is next, a long way adrift with 46.
Is Danny Briggs the first international player to emerge from the Isle of Wight? asked Mark Thompson from Ryde ... Isle of Wight
The 20-year-old Hampshire slow left-armer Danny Briggs, who made his England debut in the final one-day international against Pakistan in Dubai last week, is indeed the first international player to have been born on the Isle of Wight. However, there is another current county player who was born there: Briggs' Hampshire team-mate David Griffiths, a fast bowler - also born in Newport - who took 6 for 85 against Nottinghamshire last season.
Donald Gordon, who played three matches for Oxford MCCU in 2011, was also born on the island. I think there have been only five other first-class cricketers born on the Isle of Wight, all of them also Hampshire players: Matthew Wood (1876), Arthur Watson (1885; also one match for Cambridge University in 1888), Howard Phillips (1889-1902), Hamilton Smith (1909-1914), and William Scott (1927).
Which Indian player made his first-class debut at the age of 72 and never played again? asked Jude Franco from India
This was the Raja Maharaj Singh, who captained the Bombay Governor's XI against the touring Commonwealth XI at the Brabourne Stadium in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1950-51. Maharaj Singh, who was born in 1878, was in fact the Governor at the time - the first Indian to hold the post. He remains the oldest man to play in a first-class match (and obviously the oldest debutant). Possibly diplomatically, he was allowed to score four runs before he was caught at slip off Jim Laker. One of the Raja's other opponents, 21-year-old Sonny Ramadhin, was 51 years younger than him, a record approached only by CK Nayudu who, at 68 in 1963-64, played a first-class Defence Fund match against a team containing the 17-year-old Ashok Mankad.

so what can we expect with this years jordan eleven release?
Sneakerheads recognise xmas brings us even more than time with the family. The time of the year is one of the busiest times for releases. At least one release everyone look forward to is Nike air jordan Brand's launch of an Air Jordan 11. Being some what of a custom, Jordan brand has had people writing about what's coming in December a long time before the real release.
This season gets us the Air Jordan 11 "Legend Blue." The shoe it features a similiar build to the Air Jordan 11 "Columbia," but includes a predominatly white upper which includes patent leather with acccents of legend blue all throughout. Due hitting suppliers December 20th, inform us about your own opinion on the Air Jordan 11 "Legend Blue."
One of the things that has helped to make the yearly Air Jordan 11s so special is the usage of the slide-out box. It's back again for this year's Air Jordan 11 "Legend Blue" (You can still refer to them as "Columbia" if you want). Columbias obviously haven't been out in over a decade, plus the fact that almost all the prior pairs are generally pretty yellow at this point is definitely going to help out their sought after nature with the 2014 release. Realize how the sneakers are shaping up with us by looking in on the "Legend Blue" Nike air jordans below.
This year's Air Jordan 11 "Legend Blue" will indeed align with old Holiday Jordans 11s in terms of package. As you can notice, the tennis shoes have the slide out box treatment that's has also been a staple of Nike jordan XIs for a little bit at this moment. Does that original aspect help out your shopping choice, or were they already necessary? Let us know Go At this site You should also go visit our buy jordan shoes

Master's degree holders usually do not qualify for basic research
positions, but may qualify for many kinds of jobs requiring a physics
background, including positions in manufacturing and applied research
and development. Increasingly, many master's degree programs are
specifically preparing students for physics-related research and
development that does not require a Ph.D. degree. These programs teach
students specific research skills that can be used in private-industry
jobs. In addition, a master's degree coupled with State certification
usually qualifies one for teaching jobs in high schools or at 2-year
Professional Science Master's (PSM) is an reasonably new (about a decade
old) graduate degree
designed to allow students to pursue advanced training in science or
mathematics, while simultaneously developing workplace skills highly
valued by employers. PSM programs in the fields
of physics consist of two years of academic
training in an emerging or interdisciplinary area, along with a
professional component that may include internships and "cross-training"
in workplace skills, such as business, communications, and regulatory
with bachelor's degrees in physics are rarely qualified to fill
positions in research or in teaching at the college level. They are,
however, usually qualified to work as technicians or research assistants
in engineering-related areas, in software development and other
scientific fields, or in setting up computer networks and sophisticated
laboratory equipment. Increasingly, some may qualify for applied
research jobs in private industry or take on nontraditional physics
roles, often in computer science, such as systems analysts or database
administrators. Some become science teachers in secondary schools.
Many colleges and universities offer a bachelor's degree in physics.
Undergraduate programs provide a broad background in the natural
sciences and mathematics. Typical physics courses include
electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics, atomic physics, and quantum
Approximately 190 universities offer Ph.D. degrees in physics; more than
60 additional colleges offer a master's as their highest degree in
physics. Graduate students usually concentrate in a subfield of physics,
such as elementary particles or condensed matter. Many begin studying
for their doctorate immediately after receiving their bachelor's degree;
a typical Ph.D. program takes about 6 years to complete.
Many physics and
astronomy Ph.D. holders begin their careers in a postdoctoral research
position, in which they may work with experienced physicists as they
continue to learn about their specialties or develop a broader
understanding of related areas of research. Initial work may be under
the close supervision of senior scientists. As they gain experience,
physicists perform increasingly complex tasks and achieve greater
independence in their work. Experience, either in academic laboratories
or through internships, fellowships, or work-study programs in industry,
also is useful. Some employers of research physicists, particularly in
the information technology industry, prefer to hire individuals with
several years of postdoctoral experience.
University Listings
The American Institute
of Physics offers two resources for selecting physics programs at U.S.
Mathematical ability, problem-solving and analytical skills, an
inquisitive mind, imagination, and initiative are important traits for
anyone planning a career in physics or astronomy. Prospective physicists
who hope to work in industrial laboratories applying physics knowledge
to practical problems should broaden their educational background to
include courses outside of physics, such as economics, information
technology, and business management. Good oral and written communication
skills also are important because many physicists work as part of a
team, write research papers or proposals, or have contact with clients
or customers who do not have a physics background. Certain sensitive
research positions with the Federal Government and in fields such as
nuclear energy may require applicants to be U.S. citizens and to hold a
security clearance.
among physicists and astronomers usually takes the form of greater
independence in their work, larger budgets, or tenure in university
positions. Others choose to move into managerial positions and become
natural science managers. Those who
pursue management careers spend more time preparing budgets and
schedules. Those who develop new products or processes sometimes form
their own companies or join new firms to develop these ideas.
How important is
experience in undergraduate research? Undergraduate research
experiences are very valuable for several reasons. They are an opportunity
for you to assess whether this is a direction that you will find
intellectually challenging and exciting. Undergraduate research provides
you with an opportunity to apply the knowledge that you have learned in
courses to solving real problems. It provides you with the experience of
working in a team environment. Finally, your undergraduate research will
show future employers what you can do.
Note: Some resources in this section are provided by the American
Institute of Physics and the US Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
