1. They're still rigged
2. Pacers implosion unprecedented
3. Epic first round is meaningless going forward
4. CP3 is top 3
5. NBA finals rematch is coming
1. They're still rigged
After the Kings-Lakers and Mavs-Heat fiascoes, you would've thought the league would try and not make blatant game-changing calls so obvious. That theory fell by the wayside Tuesday night in Oklahoma City. The ref crew even had instant replay to right their wrong, and they still didn't make the right decision. That was followed by a questionable Chris Paul foul that sent Westbrook to the line for the three go-ahead free throws to beat the Clippers. At least the foul was debatable. With instant replay, there is absolutely no excuse for getting something wrong. If they are incapable of getting it right, I agree with Doc Rivers. Just throw out instant replay, because really, what's the point?
2. Pacers implosion unprecedented
It's hard to fathom what has happened to the Indiana Pacers. The squad started out 33-7 and looked for all the world like a title contender. They had the bigs, a rising star and a defense as good as any. Frank Vogel seemed like the perfect schematic engineer behind this ship, set to embark on a championship voyage.
After that remarkable 33-7 start, Indiana won just 20 of their next 38 (including playoffs). Roy Hibbert looked like Mr. Swackhammer from Space Jam had stolen his skills, the team looked like a bunch of bickering prima donnas and Frank Vogel looked like he had given up. A late win against Miami seemed like it may have finally put the Pacers on the right path, but they didn't finish the season strong after that. And quite frankly, the Heat looked like they handed Indiana the one seed, in hopes of an easier road to the conference finals. And, Indiana's woes carried over into the playoffs. The team barely escaped sub .500 Atlanta, and just when it looked like they'd cruise into the conference finals, the Wizards beat them by 23 in Indiana to stave off elimination. Now, the Pacers are still up 3-2 in the series, but this inexcusable beat down at home is indicative of two things. First, the Pacers are as fragile a squad as we've seen in recent memory. And secondly, the team is in no condition to challenge the heat.
All the Indiana players preached from day one was that they wanted to beat the Heat and be the top seed. They accomplished the latter, but must have forgotten that there are two rounds before they'd play Miami, and that you must play 82 games in a season and 48 minutes in each playoff game. It is very hard to envision this team getting it together in the next couple weeks. Their only chance is to first find the passion and commitment they played with for the first few months of the season, and then hope that Hibbert can build off his recent first few solid games of the postseason and become the monster that can rid Mr. Swackhammer off his back. Their one consolation is that they seem to always play the Heat tough, and if they get by Washington, they have a fresh series against their East rival. But, don't forget that the playoffs are a whole new animal, and Miami has proven that with their current 3-1 lead over the Nets, who beat them all three games during the regular season.
Time will tell, but it doesn't seem like anyone out East, including Indiana, can challenge Miami. The NBA needs to go to the top 16 teams making the playoffs, and get rid of the conferences. But, that's a topic for a different day. For now, let's see how the Pacers finish things. I could see a nasty breakup happening over the offseason.
3. Epic first round is meaningless going forward
The first round was as epic as I've ever seen. The remarkable amount of overtimes, last second drama, unpredictable games and four-point plays was a treat for NBA fans. But, just like a good candy bar, it has been devoured and not seen since. Outside of a couple strong Clippers-Thunder games, the most recent clouded by controversy, the second round has been a dud. The takeaway? Don't take anything like the first round heroics for granted. Remember the fun and chaos, but don't expect that moving forward. Hopefully, the conference finals are great, but this round certainly leaves much to be desired for NBA fanatics.
4. CP3 is top 3
This is debatable, but for my money, Chris Paul is the 3rd best player in the game today. Not only did Paul engineer the brilliant 22-point comeback in game four to defeat Oklahoma City, but he also took it upon himself to guard Kevin Durant, and make key defensive stands against the MVP to lead his team to victory. In game five, his shot to put the Clippers up seven in the final minute should have stood as the dagger, but his poor decision and turnover and the refs' awful call(s) made sure that wasn't the case. Nevertheless, I agree with Charles Barkley that he is the best leader the NBA has today.
Can you imagine what would've happened if Stern didn't disallow his trade to the Lakers? The proposed trade had Lamar Odom, Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and Goran Dragic winding up in New Orleans, with Pau Gasol going to Houston, and Paul of course winding up a Laker. What has happened since? Odom disrespected Dallas, was out of the league much of this season and is divorced. Kevin Martin went to OKC in a trade involving James Harden, and is now on Minnesota. Goran Dragic had a great season for Phoenix, and turned around a team that looked destined for rebuilding for years after Steve Nash departed. The Lakers have been rumored to trade Gasol a number of times, and he's finally a free agent this offseason. Paul has put the Clippers back on the map. And don't forget, it might be the Lakers in this spot today instead of the Clippers. Can you imagine that team with Paul and some or all of the players they acquired that offseason? Kobe's legacy and ring count might've been off the charts, and the Clippers players might have been on some Island sipping Margaritas when the Donald Sterling news broke.
5. NBA finals rematch is coming
It may not happen, but I am convinced that there will be a finals rematch. I was convinced before the playoffs, too. A few months ago, I might've predicted Indiana, but right before the playoffs and up to now, the Spurs and Heat have the best shot. It is true that the Spurs are getting older and Duncan's career is nearly extinct, but his play and the play of the Spurs certainly isn't. They still have the best coach in the game and find ways to be the best. Their implosion in the last 28 seconds of game six last year has to be one of the biggest "in the moment" choke jobs in NBA playoff history. And, the team had amazing resolve to be right there until the final minute of game seven. Most other teams would've gotten killed in that circumstance.
This is what would make the rematch so compelling. The two best teams (for my money) squaring off again, and the legacy of the Spurs Big 3 and Dwayne Wade and Lebron James on the line. The story lines could make for a best seller, and you know ESPN will be all over it, probably deeming it as "The Rematch" or "Redemption vs. Legacy," or something like that.
Here's hoping the finals are epic again.

Six family members in this house and three of them have December birthdays! Why couldn't they have waited until January, as I did, for a more convenient time to be born? Some people, eh? It isn't always easy to fit a few more special days into the mix of holiday madness, but we manage it somehow. Five days before Christmas, we took the last of the December babies, my husband Ron, to the Barnstormer Brewing Company for dinner.
Barnstormer is a neat concept. They are part brewery and part eatery. Started a few years a ago in a storage unit, these self described like-minded, beer-loving, big-dreaming wing nuts began experimenting with making true natural and sustainable craft beers. No filtering, pasteurizing or preservatives. Everything on their restaurant menu is either made using beer or created with pairing it with beer in mind. Even the grains used in the brewing process are turned into things like pizza crusts and flat-breads - genius!
Ron and I, three of our kids and 1 girlfriend easily fit into one of Barnstormer's unusually large booths. I'm pretty sure we could have added 2 more. A quick look around from our table vantage point revealed a casual and fun looking place, almost Irish pub meets industrial. The airplane theme is everywhere but I also got the feeling that this place could definitely be somebody's local. Signs of fun times ahead - trivia night, live music, high-stakes rock/paper/scissors tournaments were everywhere. Sounds like a riot. You can see the brewers behind a glass wall sampling, testing and laughing as they go about the work that they obviously enjoy.
We have a favourite server and her name is Della, which is sort of odd considering we have never been in before! Della is a long time family friend and an employee at Barnstormer. For quite some time, she has been encouraging us to try it out and so finally here we are. We missed Della's shift that day sadly, but she made us a reservation and we were greeted by another fine server instead.
There are several ways to try out Barnstormer's beers. You could order a a tray of sample sized beers if you aren't too sure what you want, or dive right into a full size glass of something that sounds appealing. The beer drinkers at my table all chose the very popular 400 Blonde Ale which is named in honour of all the road warriors who brave our local highway on their daily commute and most certainly deserve a cold brew on a Friday evening. Not being overly adventurous on their first flight into Barnstormer, they wanted something familiar tasting and had heard reports that 400 was reminiscence of Molson Canadian, which they found to be more or less true. They looked at me funny when I ordered the Polar Pumpkin Ale. C'mon guys - live a little!
Barnstormer is well known for their excellent pizzas so Ron ordered one customized in a meat lovers' style with pepperoni, bacon and sausage. He got the 11 inch pie, (there is a 15 inch as well) and fretted aloud that he could never eat all that pizza himself, but eat it he did. Hmmmm it must have been good!
The six of us took a good run at the menu with no two ordering the same thing. Aside from the tasty pizza, there were also honey garlic wings, a beef burger, a Pin Up Girl chicken wrap, a quinoa salad and my veggie burger with a side of poutine on the table. At least the reserved beer drinkers branched out a bit when it came time to eat! By the way, my Polar Pumpkin Ale was really nice. It contrasted greatly to the tall pale blonde glasses on the server's tray when it arrived and I had a brief what-have-I-done? moment. Was this short, darker glass of beer going to be bitter? I am kind of an anti-hop person, if such a term exists. First, I took a sniff. Wow - I completely got that pumpkin pie aroma! I passed it around for others to smell. They agreed that the fragrance was nice but I was still nuts for drinking a pumpkin anything beer. Their loss, I say.
Food was good. We would definitely come back again I would say. In fact, Ron was back again six days later for wings to watch the World Junior hockey game with my brother-in-law.
Being a bit of a spelling and grammar tyrant, (although I mess up plenty myself), I was amused by the large sign above the bar. In raised letters, it reads WHAT'S ON TAP, although the apostrophe seems to have been added in later with either white paint or chalk. I'm betting that there is an interesting story behind that! So if you want to check out something a little different in place where they take the important stuff seriously, but don't get too serious themselves and yet treat you to seriously good eats and drinks, book a flight and take off to the Barnstormer Brewing Company at 384 Yonge St. at Little. Oh yes - they do take out food and sell beer to take home too!

It includes many different forms of slavery. Whether it is a young man being forced into an army and then required to murder his own family or a young girl being forced into sex trafficking, something needs to change!
Can you imagine a 10 year old girl being forced to have sex multiple times per day? That thought should sicken you as it sickens me! But it should also bring us to a point of action. We should no longer be content to live our day to day lives without giving one thought to human suffering. WE WERE CREATED FOR MORE THAN THIS!!!
Today, is "Shine a Light on Slavery Day". I have drawn a red "X" on my hand to bring attention to this horrifying truth and share with others that I won't stand for it. We need to know that this isn't happening in only the remotest parts of the world. It is happening in our own communities.
Take a few moments today and visit the website for the End It Movement. There are many different opportunities to help with your time or your finances. It will not only help the lives of victims but change yours as well!

Alexis Sanchez Complete Mega Deal
In another major statement from Manchester United after the landings of Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku over the past two summers, the club announces the signing of Alexis Sanchez. In a move that will see Henrikh Mkhitaryan move to Arsenal in a straight swap deal.
Sanchez will earn around 500k a week to become the highest-paid player in the Premier and will take the vacant No 7 shirt for the first time since Memphis Depay left the club following in the footsteps of famous faces such as David Beckham, Cristiano Cr7, Eric Cantona and George Best who previously put on the popular number for Manchester United.
The 29-year-old was sighted in Manchester over the weekend dealing with medicals and other {thank paper works before the move was finalized.
On Saturday Jose Mourinho said on the deal: "I expect soon or never. I think it's so close, so close, so close that if it doesn't happen, it's not going to happen, therefore i am positive. "I know that my people performing absolutely everything they can - the owners with the green light and Mr. Woodward working hard. I think everyone is giving everything they can and I think we are going to be successful.
Both players have undergone immigration in Liverpool to put in place their work permit. Sanchez arrived to work in the United Kingdom in 2014 after moving to Arsenal from Barcelona, so therefore must apply for extension to his existing permit.
Home Office rules allow for an extension of at least another three years to a UK Tier 2 Sportsperson visa if both players satisfy the necessary criteria.
In the UK players are required to apply for their visas in person, with each application needing a valid sponsorship certificate from their new clubs, along with the endorsement of the Football Association.
Sanchez could be in line to make his debut in the FA Cup against Yeovil this Friday.

Second music video
Here's my second musical composition titled, "Haiku No. 1" – inspired by a haiku poem written by my wife, Daun Daemon. This was composed on the toy keyboard (Realistic Concertmate-460) as before. However the sounds are all from the GeneralUser_GS_FluidSynth soundfont through QSynth (FluidSynth). The midi editing and additional composition was done with Rosegarden. Audio transcription done with the awesome help of WaoN and capture and export by Audacity. Amateur video and image stock edited with Cinelerra, post processing with ffmpeg.
I would like to get a real midi keyboard with semi-weighted keys someday.

Sun's PersonalJava Gets Further Nod From TCI
Page 1 of 1
Under a newly expanded agreement, Sun Microsystems, Inc. said its PersonalJava environment will be specified as a standard programming language in Tele-Communications, Inc.'s (TCI) line of digital set-top boxes.
The announcement which was made Wednesday at the National Cable TV Association (NCTA) Conference furthers an agreement between the two companies signed in January.
The deal follows Monday's Microsoft alliance with TCI, under which Microsoft will license at least 5 million copies of the Windows CE OS and other software to TCI's National Digital Television Center (NDTC) for TCI's digital set-top devices.
As part of the Sun Microsystems-TCI alliance, Sun said it will provide a software port of the PersonalJava environment for the devices on which Microsoft's WinCE OS will be used.
"Every WinCE set-top and any device TCI intends to ship with the JavaOS for Consumers operating system will be running the PersonalJava environment. This is a colossal win for consumers and the JavaTM platform," said Scott McNealy, chairman, CEO and president of Sun Microsystems, Inc., in a statement.
"The security, portability and scalability of the Java technology environment brings unique value to the marketplace. And with the leadership of market makers like TCI with General Instrument, Motorola, Scientific Atlanta and Sony, it is quickly becoming the highest volume content and application environment in the world."
The Java security model enables cable service providers to control the functions of applications that are downloaded into a customer's set top box, Sun said. This translates into tighter control for service providers who will know which of the applets running is digitally signed with a secure certificate.

Dusters shutdown Shelbyville
On Wednesday night, the Marshall County Dusters (5-1-1) recorded their fourth straight victory when they defeated the Shelbyville Golden Eagles 7-1 at home in the first game of a doubleheader.
Bolstered by two homeruns, the Dusters finished with nine hits and two walks against two Shelbyville pitchers. Aaron Thomason and Brandon Bush both tallied two hits and 2 RBI to lead Marshall County offensively with Thomason belting a homerun. Starting pitcher Cody Vernon also added a solo homerun, while Matt Sharp, Morgan Reese (1 RBI), J.B. Reese, and Jesse Kilpatrick each had one hit.
Vernon picked up the win on the mound as well after yielding one run over four innings on four hits and a walk to go along with five strikeouts. Thomason then came on in relief of Vernon and allowed two hits and two walks in three scoreless innings of work while notching two strikeouts.
"I was pleased with how we played in the first game. We swung the bats well and got some timely hits," said Dusters coach Mike Reese. "Both of our pitchers threw pretty well too and we played pretty good defense. We beat a good triple A ballclub."
Shelbyville left two runners in scoring position in the top of the first inning before Thomason staked Marshall County to an 2-0 lead in the bottom half of the frame when he smacked a two-run homer over the left field fence after Sharp reached base on a leadoff single.
The Dusters then opened up a 5-0 advantage in the third by crossing home plate three times in the frame with the help of two Golden Eagle errors, a Morgan Reese walk, a two-run triple by Bush, and a passed ball.
Shelbyville plated a run in the top of the fourth on three hits to trim the deficit to 5-1, but Marshall County tallied a run in the bottom of the fifth to stretch their lead to 6-1. After roping a one-out double into left field, Thomason advanced to third on a passed ball before coming home on a RBI infield single by Morgan Reese.
Vernon then clubbed a solo home run in the sixth inning to give the Dusters a 7-1 advantage before Thomason worked around a two-out single in the top of the seventh to wrap up Marshall County's victory.

The last weekend in October, which was followed by an extra day off (public holiday), was really a pleasure to photographs because we had some beautiful weather. It was the sunshine and pleasant temperatures which encouraged me to take photos in an autumn dress. Later on, we even tried a dress with uncovered shoulders. However, ŌĆ£coat seasonŌĆØ has come and unfortunately, it seems hard to believe that just a few days ago, I felt really great in my outfits with short sleeves and uncovered legs. True, IŌĆÖve been still wearing strappy heels until today. :-) At first glance, my Zara dress may seem like a summer one. However, it is the exact opposite because the material is thick almost like a ŌĆ£carpetŌĆØ so in winter weather it will fit like a glove. Sure, this is not the first time I am showing it there. Sometimes, I wear it as a top with just a white skirt over them and now, of course, with a coat to complete this comfortable and imaginative outfit. ;-)

It seems like just yesterday we were filing our tax returns are wrapping up the 2011 year (unless you're Mitt Romney, who still hasn't filed his 2011 taxes). However, there is no better time than the present to start thinking about ways to minimize your 2012 taxes. Because we all hate paying taxes, and there are definitely some easy ways to make it bite less! Here are some simple things to consider!
Minimizing Capital Gains Taxes
This doesn't mean earn less, but simply means be mindful of where you earn your money. If you are planning on investing for price appreciation, be aware that when you go to sell, you will pay capital gains taxes on the difference. And right now, those rates are just 15% for long term capital gains, but there are other factors to consider:
- Capital Gains Tax 2013 Rates May Go Up
- The Obamacare 3.8% Tax on Certain Investment Income
Tax Deferred Accounts
Speaking of tax deferred accounts, these can be great ways to minimize your 2012 taxes. The main types of accounts are 401ks and IRAs, but there are a lot of variations that also qualify for tax deferred treatment.
If you are planning on investing for capital gains, put your money here. Also, if you are investing in a large dividend paying stock or other cash flow investment, like a REIT, an IRA or other tax deferred account can be a great way to do it. While dividends are also treated in a different way, you could still face taxes if you don't shelter them properly.
Tax Advantaged Investments
Finally, if you can't invest in a tax deferred account, you can still invest in tax advantaged investments. These are products that are designed to minimize your tax liability each year. A common type of tax advantaged investment is a municipal bond. If you buy a qualifying municipal bond or municipal bond fund, you are usually exempt from state and federal taxes. This can be a huge benefit.
There are also tax advantaged mutual funds and ETFs, which keep portfolio turnover to a minimum, which helps prevent capital gains payouts at the end of the year, thereby reducing your tax liability.
What other ways can you start minimizing your tax liability for next April?

text: Window is a fantasy, young adult story that is quite different from everything else I have read. It has a unique storyline and is very modern. A great example for this is that some conversations are written down in form of tweets. It has a witty undertone but can also turn serious when the situation calls for it. The story is well-crafted and draws you in quickly even though it is rather short. It is a really cute, quick read.

Human Resource Specialists – Foundation of HRMay 3, 2018 Human resource specialists (HRS) are also called recruiters, as their primary duties in the human resource (HR) area are to screen, recruit, interview, and place workers in the right positions. Other HR jobs may specialize in compensation, benefits, or employee training. HRS are on the front line of HR, selecting the right people for the right jobs.
The Rogue Valley has an estimated 279 human resource specialists. The 2014 to 2024 forecast for this occupation in Jackson and Josephine counties is a modest increase of only 5.7 percent, compared with 13.7 percent in the Portland Metro area. As about half of Oregon's businesses and jobs are located in the larger Portland area, the need for human resource specialists is that much greater. Another possible reason for the slow growth expectation is that the Rogue Valley is a region of mostly small businesses. In small businesses, human resource positions tend to be "multi-taskers" or "generalists" doing all HR related duties as needed. Fewer local companies can afford, or need, to have HR specialists focusing mostly on recruiting.
A typical entry level of education for human resource specialists is a bachelor's degree. The average wages for this occupational group vary from $25.22 in the Rogue Valley, to $29.20 in Oregon and more than $31 per hour in the Portland Tri-County area.
The Human Resource Field Is Changing
Many jobs and careers are being challenged and changed by new technology and evolving business practices. Some key HR related functions, such as payroll and benefits administration, have been simplified by many available software applications. In addition, HR functions have been steadily outsourced, not necessarily out of the country but to the U.S. companies who specialize in full spectrum human resource management. Such companies can assist businesses with tracking and data processing such as payroll, benefits, as well as with employee recruiting and training. Today many employers tend to use cost effective external sources for their staff development needs, such as webinars led by external trainers and consultants.
In the area of recruitment, most businesses still prefer to keep this key function in-house. However, businesses also use the services of staffing or recruiting agencies, especially for hiring and managing of seasonal workforce or in search for high-level executive or professional talent.
Expertise in Human Resources Will Remain Crucial
Some of the trends foreseen in the HR literature state that in future:
- In-house HR will downsize and outsourcing will increase. As the employment landscape becomes more complex with changing regulations around employment law, it is impossible for limited in-house staff to remain experts in "all fields." Utilizing HR consulting firms and other external resources will be more common.
- Strategic thinking will become in-house HR's new core competence. Instead of focusing on just technical aspects of recruiting, tracking, data processing, or legal compliance, the in-house HR specialists/experts have to become a part of business leadership.
- HR recruiting will need to become more like marketing. The human resource specialists of the future will need to identify specific micro-segments of job seekers in line with the company's job requirements and goals. HRS then have to target such selected job seekers with recruitment messages and practices, just like a marketing firm would.
- If human resource specialists truly become human capital experts, not just human resource bookkeepers, their role in business will remain crucial, regardless of technology, automation, and outsourcing.

Fun & Merch
Merchandise and kit
There's no doubt that roller derby is awesome, and once you get hooked, you might want to enhance your skills by going to skate parks, outdoor skate trailing and also looking for some cool roller derby inspired merch! We've put together some ideas for you to get outdoors and pimp up your gear.
There are a tonne of cool roller derby inspired things on Etsy and other online stores, but nothing quite beats going to a game yourself and browsing the merch tables! We are absolutely not working on commission here, these are just a few of the
stores that we really like and have been kind to us or provided excellent services. If you want your store to be featured on here, please do message us and we'd be happy to give you a shout out!
Jammer Candy
We love Jammer Candy! They have loads of cool things from stickers to pin badges, a great way to pimp out your skate bag or NSO folder. Some cool bags and Tshirts too!
We especially love the new designs that Jammer Candy come up with all the time, check out their Instagram to get all the latest.
Roller Derby City
Roller Derby City are one of the go to stores for roller derby merch. Whether you want a customised referee shirt or a nice new water bottle with your name on it, get all of your customised gear from here!
Great prices, and roller derby owned and operated, so you know you're getting good service. We can't keep away from the RDC stand at big events!
Skate Station
We can't fault Skate Station for their customer service. We needed a load of kit for fresh meat within a week and it arrived the next day, with a smile! There are plenty of places to buy your gear, but Skate Station get high praise from us because of the service. You can't go wrong.

Skate fast, skate hard and look good doing it!
Recreational skating
If you feel that skating once, twice or three times a week with your league just isn't enough, there's plenty you can do to bolster your skills and learn some new. Skating outdoors or learning to ramp skate will not only improve your skillset but also boost your confidence and may even help you pick up those minimum skills quicker.
The Skateparks Project is a directory, a resource and a community website intended to help skaters around the UK discover and build new skateparks. Find out more here:
If you can't get to a skate park, why not have a go at trail skating? There are plenty of places around with flat, skate-able surfaces, such as parks, nature trails (as long as they have a flat path!), car parks, you name it. If you can't find a skate park, just open your eyes and look around. Even if you can only skate down the street, it's a start.
Chicks in Bowls, UK
Chicks in Bowls (CIB) is a movement (for all genders) to encourage people to take up skating in skateparks. Indoor, outdoor, in space (we wish) you name it.
If you really want that roller derby edge, join a CIB movement and learn to ramp/bowl skate!
Chicks in Bowls, Scotland
"We're part of the international Chicks in Bowls movement, spreading the enthusiasm, encouragement, and love for roller skaters conquering skateparks."

In this fashionable world, the new trends are changing with every passing day. There are various forms of apparels and other accessories which are going viral all over the market place. In such fashion forward world, carrying a bulky and unattractive figure is not only eye soaring but at the same time, mentally depressing. The youngsters of our age are always trying to cope up with the latest fashion trends that are hot and happening in this fast pacing world. Many cannot even try out the latest outfits as those are slim fitted in nature and wearing those will not suit them at all. There are various instances when young boys and girls cannot handle the bad comments from friends and end up committing suicides. This is a serious lose to the nation and losing such young lives is nothing less than a sin.
If it is taken into utmost consideration, then it can be seen that the little boys and girls are always not the ones making mistakes. They are definitely going to follow what their elders do. In this fast pacing world where there is not time for relaxation, elders cannot maintain a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. They do not have time for their little ones and end up spending more time in offices rather than at home. They are the ones who gulp down fatty and oily food to satisfy their hunger and end up gaining more weight. The young teenagers always follow their daddy's footsteps and end up eating too much unhealthy food which give rise to accumulation of fatty molecules.
Reasons for gaining excessive weight
• The spicy and lip smacking food products are really unavoidable. Made out of all sorts of unhealthy materials and with excessive amount of oil, these fatty foods are really the prime suspects for such bad and unattractive figure. The little ones just cannot avoid the spicy feel of these products and end up eating more than what is required. U.S people always prefer to go for burgers, pizzas and French fires rather than some fresh fruits and vegetables. Therefore, their little ones also follow the elder's footsteps and end up with obesity. Some example of fatty food items which must be avoided are chips, potato fries, French fries, burger, pizzas, patties and more.
• For all the sweet tooth out there, there are various forms of chocolates, candies and ice creams available which they cannot live without. These are in born enemies of human body and they not only give rise to unnecessary fats but at the same time help in formation of cavities which affects their teeth to a great extent. The big and branded companies are making it a point to come up with new and innovative flavored chocolates and ice creams to expand their business more. A little bit of such products are ok but too much can lead to some dreadful consequences.
Read: What Causes Childhood Obesity Epidemic
• In this technologically advanced world, people loves to play with their video games rather than going out in the sun and play football or cricket. Young winners love to play car racing in their video games or computers. This is lessening up the activity level and metabolism rate is also decreasing to a great extent. Therefore, accumulation of fat is an unavoidable consequence in this regard.
Ways to fight obesity
• Following hard exercise routine is always the best option available near hand. It might seem to be a little difficult in the beginning, but with regular practice it might turn out to be the best solution ever. You can also follow some fun filled exercise routines to burn that excessive fat from your body. One can opt for aerobic exercises in this regard. Jogging, jumping and even swimming falls under this category.
Read: How To Help Kids To Exercise
• Always follow nutritious diet that comprises of all valuable proteins and minerals that our body needs. You can also take the help of expert advisors in this regard for an effective result.
• Though, taking the help of diet pills or supplementary products can be an effective method, but it is always advisable to look for expert advice before coming into any conclusion. Choose the herbal pills in place of chemical ones.
These are some of the vital points that can provide the Overweight Teens with their desirable results. Just give them some mental support for a fruitful end.

Members of the U.S. Senate will work toward revamping the education law known as No Child Left Behind.
It's a reauthorization of the landmark Elementary and Secondary Elementary Education Act of 1965 passed by Lyn- don Johnson.
According to Johnson, "full educational opportunity should be our first national goal."
The ESEA offered new grants to districts serving low-income students, Federal grants for text and library books.
It also created special education centers and created scholarships for low-in- come college students.
The law provided Federal grants to state education agencies to improve the quality of elementary and secondary education.
The revision of President George W. Bush's signature 2001 education law passed and allowed states to evaluate teachers and fix educational problems in struggling schools.
Teachers will no longer be measured on student's test scores and schools will no longer be penalized if yearly progress isn't made.
Congress has been unable to find common ground since 2007 when NCLB expired.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan called 'NCLB' "tired and prescriptive." He declared the law's central require- ment should stand.
The act focused on improving teacher and principal effectiveness, providing in- formation to help families evaluate their children's schools, and implementing college and carrer ready standards.

Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend. First and foremost, I want to welcome all of the new members to Saga and Saga of Light. Every new member has played a huge role over the past few weeks and it's exciting to see. It is great to see so many new people on both sides!
Now for this week's events! Tonight, Saga will continue from the Sword Squadron in Temple of Sacrifice beginning at 8PM EDT. A tentative Operation will be set as well for Saga of Light at the same time. Stay tuned in game for more details.
Tuesday, Saga of Light will be taking on Brontes in Dread Fortress and Wednesday with The Ravagers, both beginning at 8PM EDT.
This Thursday, the Terror From Beyond run for Saga will be changed to Hard Mode. Changes for both the following Thursdays (April 23rd and April 30th) will also be changed to Hard Mode.
Friday night Saga will be running Temple of Sacrifice beginning at 8PM EDT.
Now before I get to the party, Saturday afternoon Saga AND Saga of Light (pending member availability) will run operations in the afternoon beginning at 2PM EDT. It is my hope that on the weekends both sides can run operations simultaneously on Saturday afternoon. In the future I would love to see both sides run the same Operation and/or have mirroring schedules.
Just a few quick reminders, a Datacron run schedule will be completed within the next few weeks. Copy has volunteered to host those runs. If there is anyone else that would like to assist Copy please let your officers know. Double XP week will begin this Thursday through the following Wednesday.
Five more days until CROSS FACTION PARTY TIME! Beginning at 8PM EDT, the April Cross Faction Party will kick off at J'inxy's stronghold on Tatooine. We have multiple contests, games, races, and a TON of giveaways. Like I mentioned in the last Saga Gazette, this is an excellent way to meet your guildies via Mumble and at the party. We will also have live music in Mumble.
Music requests will be taken via chat and they will be played in order received. If you have any requests there will be a forum post where you can make requests throughout the week. These parties get more exciting each month!
Speaking of parties…May 4th is coming up…so for one night that week to celebrate "May the 4th be with you" Saga and Saga of Light will be celebrating in Cantina's around the galaxy! Stay tuned for the full list. It's time The Shadowlands know how awesome Saga and Saga of Light are!
The first event for this Sunday will take place at 2PM EDT. Lanceton will be hosting an Orokeet run for both Saga and Saga of Light. Unhatched eggs have already been farmed. If you would like a free Orokeet pet please speak with Lanceton.
Now if you made it this far, which I hope you did…thanks to hard work, Saga has 10 Dreadful Essense! So, at 4PM EDT on Sunday everyone who is available please meet at Section X! It's time to take out Nightmarish Dreadtooth! Get pumped!
As always, if you have any questions, concerns, ideas respond to this email. Our representatives are standing by! (not really, but I'll respond :P)
See you in game!

The Saga Gazette - March 19th, 2015
I just wanted to highlight some of this weekends scheduled events. Tonight Saga will be running an Operation. Eternity Vault [NiM] and Karagga's Palace [NiM] are on the schedule. However, at start time we will decided if we want to move to a LVL 55 or LVL 60.

Finally, in the afternoon J'inxy will be running a Cross Faction pet hunt for the Okokeet on Tatooine, Tauntlet on Hoth, and the CZW4 Observer on CZ-198.
See you all in game!
The Saga Gazette - March 9th, 2015Afternoon East Coast SAGA, Good Morning West Coast SAGA!!!
Who had fun this week? Anyone? This week was AWESOME! We touched on EVERYTHING this week. From scheduled and unscheduled operations, PVP, conquest bosses, World Bosses, Flashpoints, Dailies, Weeklies, and practical jokes on the Imperial Fleet!
So let's begin with this week's events! Tonight, for those interested Qudoba/Kifi will be hosting PVP night. Tuesday evening Saga of Light will be running Explosive Conflict [NiM] for all Level 50s and above. Wednesday night will be our weekly run for Encryptions/Frameworks for the guildships (hopefully for both Saga and Saga of Light).
Thursday, Saga will have two runs of Toborro's Courtyard, one time each for Story Mode and Hard Mode. Friday, 8m groups of The Ravagers will be put together for those interested.
This Saturday in the afternoon, Flashpoints/Dailies/Weekly runs will be put together and in the evening a run of Terror From Beyond.
Looking a little further ahead, Angela will be hosting this month's Cross Faction Party on March 20th and on March 27th will be the first race for the Saga Pod Racing Circuit!!! Tatooine will be the first host. Race details will be announced in the coming weeks, so get familiar with your maps!
In the works for the website is a video gallery of various recorded events. There are videos that are being edited that should be posted sometime within the week. All I heard in Mumble was constant laughter. The premise of these practical jokes were to throw the 170+ players on fleet off and catch their attention. Believe me when I say we did! We first made sure all of the attendees had the Czerka Enforcer mount. Someone then called out that something was stolen and that the police was needed. Saga proceeded to jump in our cars and chase the "thief" around the Imperial Fleet. With every lap more and more people joined. Some players even responded in General chat with "IT'S THE 5-0! IT'S THE 5-0!" Just to prove the effect it had, Czerka Enforcers were going for 70K on the Galactic Trade Market (GTN). The following day, the lowest one was for over 700K. So if anyone else has any ideas of fun things to do on fleet as a guild, please let us know! Maybe a "Flying-V" like the Mighty Ducks.
Next, we decided to do a military escort. With some Czerka Enforcers, Revanite Walkers and a Skiff, we escorted the "princess" around slowly around fleet. Members were "yelling" Make way for the princess!" etc. Once again, many joined in. We ended up recruiting a few members that have great enthusiasm. The Shadowlands server saw something that I have yet to see, a guild out in the open having a GOOD TIME! Every single day that goes by Saga grows stronger and most importantly laughs louder.
See you all in game!
The Saga Gazette - March 2nd, 2015
I think I might very well be more excited about this Saga Gazette message more than all the previous ones combined!!! The March calendar is COMPLETE! Check the Calendar tab above! Times and events may be subject to change based on how many are available. If you have any questions please speak to myself or your officers!
This month the calendar is full with awesome events to include PVP Nights, Conquest Boss Runs, LVL 50 and LVL 55 Operations for both factions, World Boss runs, etc!
Since there are so many things going on this month, I am just going to highlight this week and some of the other major events for this month.
Tonight, Kifi (Qudoba) will be hosting PVP Night for Saga of Light. Tomorrow night, Saga of Light will be having their weekly Operation. Please sign up via the "Operations Sign-Up" Tab above!
Wednesday we will continue our Conquest Boss runs for BOTH factions!
Thursday, Saga will be sending Brontes to her doom with a run of Dread Fortress beginning at 8PM EST.
Saturday afternoon, groups will be put together for those interested in running Flashpoints, Dailies, and Weeklies. Speak with Lanceton and Y'aria for more information! That afternoon, in order to support our amazing friends across the Atlantic, Saga will be running Explosive Conflict [NiM] at 2PM EST.
On Saturday evening, both members of Saga and Saga of Light are invited to the Outlaw's Den on Tatooine for the first ever Cross Faction PVP Dogfight!!!
And of course…the week could not possibly be complete without a good old fashion World Boss run for both Saga and Saga of Light Sunday afternoon.
This is all taking place just this week! Sometime this month our beloved J'inxy will be hosting a pet run for those interested in receiving a Tauntlet and Orobird! Stay tuned for the official date and time!
Also, tentatively for Friday March 20th, there will be another Cross Faction Party! Host to be announced soon! Like our previous parties, there will be live music in Mumble, mini-games and prizes!
Finally, a new event series is in development…I am personally quite excited about this one. I would like to announce the Saga Pod-Racing Circuit! Saga's own mount racing events! Once or twice a month, members of Saga and Saga of Light can grab their favorite mounts and go head to head on circuits on planets across the galaxy! Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place! An official schedule and courses are in the works, so stay tuned! Get ready to start those engines! Or…fluff those feathers if you are going to use an Orobird :P
I think that just about does it for this week. Keep leveling those new toons like you have been! I am loving the diversity and hearing all of the laughter in Mumble! I cannot wait to see you all tonight! Get excited Saga, it's about time we blew the roof off and showed The Shadowlands server who is boss!
P.S. - For those who have toons right around 50 and/or 55 and are interested in joining Saga and Saga of Light for Operations let me know! We will teach you about proper gear and how every fight works in depth! One of the greatest thrills I get is running new players through Operations!
The Saga Gazette - February 25th, 2015
Today is a great day, isn't it a great day!?
Ok Saga and Saga of Light! Here is the very latest on what is going on in your guild!
First off thank you to Lanceton for hosting the party! Those who attended has a blast! The live music was great, tons of "dancing". I have not heard so many members laugh as much as they did that night. Personally, I cannot wait until the next one!
Last night was the Saga of Light weekly Operation. There were some first timers last night! I have heard nothing but how much fun it was. I think an exact quote was "what a rush!"
Tonight starting promptly at 8PM EST Saga will be traveling across the galaxy for Conquest Bosses! We can take up to 24 people! As long as you can get to Voss in level you are invited! All NPCs that Saga will be fighting are LVL 60 Champions. The more people we get, the more fun we will have!
Tomorrow Saga will be doing a full run of Terror From Beyond [SM]. This will be a LVL 55+ Operation. As always I am REALLY hoping for a 16m run. If you have never been on an Operation and would like to come please do! These are exciting! We joke around, laugh, play music, and just enjoy the night! Please sign up via the Operations tab above if interesting or contact me in game!
The March calendar is currently in development and will be completed this week so stayed tuned! However! As requested by many, On March 7th there will be a Cross Faction PVP Dogfight! Everyone will meet up on Tatooine in the Outlaws Den. We can do everything from a Free For All, Team vs. Team, etc. If that Tauntlet run spur of the moment PVP fight was any indication, this is going to be loads of fun!
Also, don't forget! PVP Nights are being hosted on Monday nights with Qudoba! Please see the last Gazette release for the information or speak with Qudoba!
Finally, Lanceton and Y'aria have been working hard to get groups going for FPs, Dailies, and weeklies. The current plan is to have this set up for Saturday afternoons roughly around 2PM EST. If you are interested in attending these runs please speak with Lanceton, Y'aria or myself.
That should just about do it. I just have to say that you are all fantastic people and I am always looking forward to jumping on to play/talk with you all. If you ever have ANY ideas on things you would like to run, or missions you want to complete please let me and/or your officers know! We have A LOT in store for you all, so buckle up! It is going to be one hell of a ride! SEE YOU ALL IN GAME SAGA!!!
The Saga Gazette - February 20th, 2015
Just a few quick updates and events to look forward to. First of, tonight Lanceton will be holding a cross faction get together at his stronghold beginning at 8PM EST. Throughout the night stop by and meet your fellow guildies and officers! There will be giveaways and live music via our Mumble server. Hope to see you all there!
This Saturday night will be a run of Dread Palace [SM] and Sunday will be a run for the Imperial Fleet and Makeb datacrons. A Republic Fleet Datacron run might also be scheduled for Sunday.
Finally, some news on the PVP front! Monday nights Qudoba (the lead of the PVP field) will be taking 3 members with him for PVP runs. If you have not had the chance to see his forum posts please do before Monday! Q is extremely knowledgeable and a highly skilled PVP player. For those interested in attending, please make sure you have a full set of 162 gear prior to Monday. Please do not fit your gear with any mods higher than 162 to ensure that SWTOR buffs you accordingly. The only exception is if you have your own PVP gear higher in level. Also, it was requested that you join Mumble for these events as real time communication will be a necessity. Please speak with Qudoba or myself for more details!
Here is hoping for warmer weather! See you at the party tonight!!!
The Saga Gazette - February 9rd, 2015
Good Morning Saga!
I hope everyone had a nice relaxing and enjoyable weekend! There is a lot to discuss this week as there are many events that have been added to the schedule.
With the current bugs, Operations have been a little complicated, but we have done a wonderful job getting groups together regardless and having fun at the same time. If there are any that are interested in how to lead Operations for either Saga or Saga of Light, please let me know. I will be happy to go over everything I can with you.
Tomorrow will continue the Saga of Light bi-weekly operations, which are scheduled on Tuesdays and Fridays until further notice.
Wednesdays for Saga will be "Conquest Boss Run" Days for those interesting in helping the guild expand the ship.
Thursdays and alternating weekend days for Saga are still our hard Operation days. Thursday, will be Terror From Beyond [NiM] and Sunday will be Dread Fortress [HM]. I hope to have a 16m run for each Operation. Both runs will begin promptly at 7PM CST / 8PM EST. Please sign up via the "Operations Sign-Up" tab to secure your spot early.
On Monday February 16th, there will be a "Pet Hunt" for those interested in acquiring an Orokeet and Tauntlet pet for both factions. That event will begin at 7PM CST / 8PM EST.
On February 22nd, there will be two datacron runs for the +10 Endurance on Makeb and the +10 to all stats Datacron on Imperial Fleet.
World Boss runs have also been added to the calendar for those interested. The next run will be this Saturday the 14th, beginning at 9PM CST / 10PM EST.
In other news, Miss Terri has continued to put out great information regarding PVP! These are very interesting and worth reading. Also, if you are interested in running Daily / Flashpoint groups, please speak with Lanceton!
Council Members and Officers, our monthly meeting will occur on February 18th. Council Members will meet 30 minutes prior from 730PM to 800PM and all Officers (Captains) will meet from 800PM to 830PM.
The 3.1 release is this Tuesday. See the bottom of this email for the link to the SWTOR Patch Notes.
Finally, I want to congratulate Tiyi for becoming the Treasurer/Bank Manager for Saga and Saga of Light! She has done a wonderful job thus far! I also want to wish Sashire a Happy Birthday!!!
As always, if you have any questions please speak to your officers! :D
I think that does it! I leave you with a Star Wars joke!

The Saga Gazette - February 3rd, 2015
Happy Day After Monday Saga!
I don't know about the rest of you, but this past week was a ton of fun! Operations are being run, tons of members getting their toons to LVL 60, and Conquest bosses are being destroyed! Saga has unlocked two new rooms on the guild ship to include the Crew Quarters hallway and the first of six individual crew rooms. The guild ship has been revamped thanks to a lot of awesome donations from all of you! This guild ship is looking better every day!
Tomorrow night there will be another run for encryptions from Conquests bosses. Planets on the agenda include Tatooine, Corellia, Ilum, Voss, and Quesh. We can have up to 24 people involved with these runs. Please let me know if you would like to attend by either replying to this email or reaching out to me in game.
Saga of Light has their weekly Tuesday operation tonight. The operation will begin at 7PM CST/8PM EST.
Saga will be running Scum & Villany [HM] and The Ravagers [SM] this Thursday and Saturday respectively. S&V will be a full 16m run. However, due to the current chaos involved with TR currently, only 8m groups will be run until we get more experience with it. We can split up into two groups if necessary. Please sign up for these Operations in the "Operations Sign Up" tab above! The groups will be put together roughly 15 to 30 minutes prior to ensure we get off to a good start.
Lanceton is looking for volunteers to run groups for Dailies and Flashpoints on the Imperial side. For those interested, please speak with him.
Finally, today was patch day! Visit http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes for the details on what is being rolled out. In addition, Dulfy has new information on the Feb 10 release coming up. Visit http://dulfy.net/2015/02/03/swtor-game-update-3-1-conflict-on-rishi/ for details.
It is because of our teamwork and willingness to enjoy the game that has made Saga and Saga of Light successful. I am really looking forward to this year!
Only 318 days until Star Wars Episode VII!
The Saga Gazette - January 20th, 2015

The Saga Council is working on some wonderful ideas and events that will be coming up within the coming weeks.
Tonight is a Saga of Light Operation night starting at 8PM EST. This Thursday Saga will have their first official run of The Ravagers starting at 8PM EST. This should be a wild run! Also there were some requests for a Story Mode run of DF before DP this Saturday. This has been added to the calendar.
See you all tonight!
The Saga Gazette - January 13th, 2015
Happy Tuesday Saga!
Today is a HUGE patch day for SWTOR. A lot of changes are about to get rolled out. For the full list of updates visit http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes. Servers will be unavailable for patch 3.0.2 until 7AM PST/10AM EST.
Saga of Light will begin their weekly Tuesday operations tonight run by Art. The operation will begin at 7PM CST/8PM EST.
Just as a reminder, this Thursday will be a full Officer meeting for the Captains and Saga Council. It will begin promptly at 7PM CST/8PM EST. This meeting will be hosted on Mumble and in game chat.
This Friday I am hosting a cross faction get together at my stronghold at 8PM to celebrate the release of the new schedule and changes. There will be giveaways, races, trivia, duels, and maybe some good old fashioned boxing :P
This Saturday will be the first official operation day. Saga will be taking on Brontes and Draxus in Dread Fortress (HM). For many this will be a first attempt at hard mode, but it is going to be an exciting run. It is highly recommended that those wishing to attend install Mumble, as real time communication for the harder operations are important. Please sign up via the "Operations Sign Up" tab to secure your spot. We are well geared for these operations. However, mastering the mechanics will be the key to completing these. We will knock these out of the park! I personally cannot wait to get started!
If there is ANYTHING anyone wants to do or would like to see Saga do, please speak with your officers, myself or Stal'k to make it happen!

The Saga Gazette - January 9th, 2015
Saga! Whats up!?
Oh things are going to get exciting! There are going to be so many awesome events coming up! In fact there are already a few I want to tell you about now!
First off, TONIGHT! Beginning at 8PM EST, we will be running Terror From Beyond (HM). We will meet on the Ziost Shadow and send Terror herself back to hell! As always, this will be a 16m run. So please sign up via the "Operations Sign Up" tab above to secure your spot. If you do not have Mumble installed it is recommended that you have it to at least listen. This will make it easier to hear the fights and allow the Operation to go smoother. Please visit www.mumble.com to download. Below is the Mumble information:
Address : sagator.mumble.com
Port: 9198
The official Operations schedule will be completed by the end of the day and all hard raiding days will consist of LVL 55 Hard/Nightmare Modes and the new LVL 60 content. All other Operations will still continue to be run, but that will be "spur of the moment".
If there are any ideas for events or if there is something you would like to host yourself, please let your leadership know! In the near future there will be events from everything with PVP, Conquest, Pet Hunts, Tournaments, Datacron Hunts, HK-51 runs, Lore Object searches, etc.
Also, Super Nova has been nice enough to invite us to attend a fleet datacron run this Sunday at 9PM EST. Super Nova will be running this event. Please let me know if you would like to attend so I can contact their leadership.
Next Thursday at 8PM, ALL OFFICERS will be having a meeting on the Officer Deck of the Guild Ship. We will have the meeting via Mumble and chat. If you are a Captain, please plan to attend.
Finally, next Friday on January 26th, I will be hosting a party at my stronghold to kick off the new official schedule. There will be giveaways, contests, and yes ACTUAL music. I am in the process of setting up a music channel in Mumble that I hope to have rolled out before then. Keys/invites will be handed out on the day of the event. If you would like one sooner please let me know.
I cannot wait to get this weekend started! See you all tonight for Terror From Beyond (HM)! Don't forget to sign up!
The Saga Gazette - January 6th, 2015
Good Morning Saga!
This weekend was once again a blast! Multiple Operations were completed to include Scum & Villainy and Dread Palace. After multiple attempts, the Dread Council has FINALLY taken down! There were a lot of first timers that experienced what it is like to take the Dread Council down, so congratulations to those who kept battling and never giving up!
The cross faction party was a huge success. Lots of giveaways, fun games, and some good old fashioned duels took place. Thank you to Carebear for hosting this event! We look forward to the next one!
This Saturdays Fleet Datacron run has been pushed back from 5PM to 9PM EST. Super Nova has invited us attend. They will be running the event. If anyone is interested please let me know!
There are some exciting events that are in the works to be planned included in the schedule to include a PVP tournament and costume contests. Stay tuned!
Finally, for those who are apart of the Saga Council, the first meeting of the year will take place on the Officer Deck at 8PM EST. Looking forward to seeing you there.
As always, have a great rest of the day!
The Saga Gazette - January 2nd, 2015
Good Morning Saga!
Last night a Hard Mode run of Explosive Conflict was completed. We are just knocking these Operations out of the park!
Tonight we will be making another attempt at Dread Palace (SM). I will start putting the group together at around 7pm EST. I highly doubt we will get rolling before 8pm. Depending on what time the Dread Palace run is complete, another Operation may take place afterwards, such as a Karagga's Palace NiM, Dread Fortress (HM), or Toborro's Courtyard (SM/HM) run. A request has also been made to complete a full run of Scum & Villainy for this weekend. Tentatively I will schedule it for this Sunday at 6pm due to the party this Saturday. This will be a full run and take some time. This is the longest Operation in the game consisting of seven bosses. This could take anywhere between 3-5 hours. However, it will be one amazing time!
For those interested in these Operations, please sign up via the tab.
Again, this Saturday evening at 8pm CST/9pm EST we will be having out first Cross Faction Party of the year! This will be hosted at Carebear's stronghold. Invites will begin approximately 30 minute prior! In addition, the guilds Super Nova and Immortality have been invited, so this is your chance to mingle with our new allies! Looking forward to seeing all of you and meeting the new recruits!
Finally, coming up in a few weeks, on January 10th, Super Nova has invited Saga to participant in a Fleet Datacron Run. This will give you +10 to all stats. For those interested please let me know via a website email or an in game so I can inform their leaders.
"The Saga Gazette" will be getting its own tab on the website sometime this week. This will give you an archive of all of the messages and news for this week without having to dig out old messaging in your inbox!
Have a great rest of the day! See you all tonight!
