You always speak such sense. I remember reading a post on your blog previously about spending time with each of your children individually and I think it's an excellent idea - and something I will look to do with my boys as they get older.ReplyDelete
Even with the baby now, Husband sometimes takes him out / has him so I can connect with Pip. Often we will bake together as that's something he really enjoys, is a defined period of time and brings it's own rewards at the end!Replies
We have tried to do it from a young age but these things slip as time moves on and I know that one of my children in particular, really struggles when QT is the thing that has been put to the back burner. Hard to do but so important :)Delete
I love this quote. You are right, we often get caught up in stupid housework and don't spend enough time with our children. But then again, all the time in the world wouldn't be enough, because as parents, there is nothing we enjoy more, than spending time with our children. I want to make a conscious effort to do more with them individually, as opposed to all together. Thankyou for linking up to Wednesday Words and for giving me something to think about. xxReplyDeleteReplies
I've had this quote sitting waiting to be used for ages - it's such a great reminder. I know we want to do it but often the individual time is the thing that gets pushed to one side in our house. Thanks for hosting Wednesday Words, a great little linky :)Delete
Fantastic - time is so very precious I really need to make more time xReplyDelete
I love this quote too. I love having some one on one time with each of the boys. Juggling is an issue. This is why we try to do something special as a family for their birthday rather than loads of pressies.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes it's all about the juggling and I find the one who is behaving the worst, usually needs it the most! Thanks for commenting xDelete
You are so very right.ReplyDelete
So true! We don't get this time with our kids again, I'm constantly telling myself to enjoy it while it lasts xReplyDelete
So true... Lovely quote xxxReplyDelete
I have such big age gaps that finding individual time is something I find vital! Me and the teen go for coffee, or shopping, me and the middler go to the pictures, and of course Syd gets me to himself all day when they are at school. I only manage an hour or two a week of individual time for the bigger two, but it's better than nothing! And of course they see plenty of me with the others about too!ReplyDeleteReplies
I think it's lovely to have different things that you enjoy with each one - celebrating their uniqueness. This somehow gets harder as they get older, or at least you need to more creative with it.Delete

I love this post Suzanne. Time spent from your busy days to dedicate to each other pays such dividends but is for some reason so hard to do. From your anonymous Auntie JReplyDeleteReplies
Aw thanks for commenting ;) We're trying...not always easy xDelete
One on one time is not easy for us but we still manage it as it is indeed important. I managed some this week with my eldest and have talked about it for Country Kids this coming Saturday.ReplyDeleteReplies
Will look forward to reading that at the weekend. Must be hard in your world, what with a farm, a business and 5 (is it 5?) children!Delete
Each girl goes to nursery on a different afternoon, this makes sure that one afternoon a week, they each have Mummy time and its one on one without their sister.ReplyDelete
Beautiful picture; and a challenge that affects us all. I am working all spare hours trying to run my own business at the moment. It has recently dawned on me that I started a flexible work at home business so that I can "be there" for my girls. Now I've realised that isn't happening I have to restructure something!ReplyDelete
I completely agree what a lovely quote :-)ReplyDelete
Such a lovely post. I've just had my second child and my husband and I were very conscious of not leaving the toddler out but still having time to bond with the baby. We decided to keep the toddler in nursery on the days that I used to work so I could spend them solely with the baby and we make sure we have lots of one on one time with the toddler. It's hard to juggle sometimes but we feel that we are doing our best for both of them.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's even hard when you have little ones isn't it? At least when the toddler is at nursery, you have time with the baby but it's important to take that special time out for him too. Looks like you're doing a grand job of it!Delete
Great post ..... I do my very best, but lately it's been rather tricky, i've been up to the neck with the move and all sorts - and then I just feel guilty! This hasn't been the best of weeks .... X.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well I think we all have weeks like these. In fact, if I'm not careful, that bad week can turn into a month without me realising it. Hope your move is going well xDelete
Absolutely, S, you're so right. And yes, I remember that post you wrote (i think the first i read of yours!) about you sitting down with OH at the beginning of the year and marking out in the diary time for each child with each of you throughout the year. I thought that such a practical thing to do, as we all have good intentions but the life takes over if we don't mark boundaries around it doesn't it? My OH has JUST spent an arvo after school with my eldest daughter having a MUCH overdue time together. They went to town, browsed a bookshop, and had tea out. Big treat. He's not in work at the mo so had the time. If weahter hadn't been so dreadful he'd probably have taken her for walk which is FREE! But we need to get that slot in for my son, and for time with me too. What I'm trying to do now is whilst the other is at Brownies or Beavers or whatever, I spend that hour with the other well (that means hide and seek in the dark with my son!). Mucking about with them is vital, I reckon (at this young age of 6 and 8). Anyway, i'm wittering, thanks for your sage, timely reminders me dear!ReplyDelete
Oh, I so agree with you. Aaron thrives on time with me, and because he is so very used to it, he literally demands it when he doesn't get it.ReplyDelete
Liska xx
I had to come and visit after you said you had written on a smiliar subject and yes I cannot wait for my girls to be old enough for a real girlie day with lunch, cinema and shops! Mich xReplyDelete
So true, spending time with your children is what create the bond between you and as with yours they head to difficult teenage years that when you want them to feel that bond and be able to talk to you if they need too. I spend a lot if time with my children but often I've got my eye on something else. Actually making quality time is what's important. Well said.ReplyDelete
This is very true. I've have just written about time in relation to when you have more than one child and there's special needs in the family. I'm glad you both got some quality time shopping together.ReplyDelete
This totally resonates with me. I notice that if I give my eldest daughter some one to one time at the end of the day, she goes to bed much easier and without drama, than if I don't. Children usually want your time over everything else xxReplyDelete
This totally resonates with me. I find that my eldest daughter goes to bed much better and happier if I spend half an hour with her before bedtime, just the two of us, chatting and laughing and sharing stories about our day. Children usually want our time over everything else xxReplyDelete
We do try. The 8 year old and I will often head to a gallery or something, and recently the 6 year old and I went to a nature museum. Would be nice to do it more often though! :)ReplyDelete
Such a good reminder of what's important, even though as you say, it can be difficult to achieve amidst the daily routine. I usually have some one-on-one time with my eldest in the evening before we start with the bedtime routine, we build Lego together or play a game and I can see that he really values that time, as do I. There's always room for improvement though!ReplyDelete
I so need to make adjustments for quality time with Bethany, it really is so easy to get side tracked xReplyDelete
A 'timely' reminder of how important it is to put aside proper time to spend with your children. I find car journeys are a good way to reconnect. Yesterday our eldest played a game with us in which she had a whole lot of questions and scenarios to test us with such as 'What's your funniest memory of me when I was very little?' - it proved a useful way of reminding her how special she is to us and her place in our family.ReplyDelete
This is so true. It's so important to spend time and not just money with our babies. All they really crave is our time and attention! It's easy to forget and this is a lovely reminder xxReplyDelete

Skip the Papercuts: This Year, Wrap your Gifts in Fabric
Wrapping gifts is a bit of an art form, and while we're no Candy Spelling (lady has an entire room devoted to the practice in her mansion), we can fold a pretty crisp corner and tie an even bow. However, all our hard work is often for naught; by the time gifts get packed in suitcases or even taken across town, their paper shells have seen better days and dash any expectations for a thoughtful present within.
This year, ditch the paper and opt for fabric instead. LivingEthos, an SF-based online company, taps the need for environmentally friendly–and foolproof–wrapping, with their sewn cloth bags in colors and patterns appropriate for any occasion or gift size. Simply slip the item into the cloth bag and pull the colorful drawstring ribbon closed at the top. Tada! A perfectly presented offering every time. Bonus for the recipient: the wrapping can be used again and again, so it's like a gift within a gift. Check out their full selection of available styles online, and think what you'll do with the money saved from forgoing construction on your own gift wrapping room.

These things are just some of the numerous reasons why businesses use Promotional Codes.

Kobe, Lakers still believe in Zen
LOS ANGELES - Deja Zen Master?
The Lakers, who showed Phil Jackson the door in 2004 and rehired him as coach in 2005, are considering completing the cycle again after firing his latest successor, Mike Brown, one season and five games into a four-year, $18 million contract.
Acknowledging the team's interest in Jackson, general manager Mitch Kupchak said, "I think you'd be negligent not to be aware that he's out there."
The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday that Jackson was meeting with Lakers officials that morning. Jackson could not be reached but still lives in Playa del Rey, Calif., minutes from the Lakers' practice center, and is still in a relationship with the owner Jerry Buss' daughter, Jeanie.
Mike D'Antoni, the former New York Knicks coach, was also on the Lakers' shortlist, but he had not been contacted as of midday Saturday. The job is Jackson's if he wants it, said a person with knowledge of the process.
Since leaving the Lakers in 2011, Jackson has tried to find a front-office role with several teams but has received no offers. People close to him described him as eager to be involved.
When his first Laker contract expired in 2004, Jackson intended to retire, having won three titles with them before Detroit ended their turbulent season in the NBA Finals. Nevertheless, Jackson was surprised when Jerry Buss made no attempt to persuade him to stay.
The next season, with Shaquille O'Neal gone, the new coach, Rudy Tomjanovich, bolted 43 games into his five-year, $30 million contract and the team fell to 34-48. Jackson signed a three-year, $36 million deal, the highest coaching salary in NBA history.
Jackson wound up staying six more seasons as the Lakers won their 2009 and 2010 titles.
With his contract up after their 2011 second-round sweep by Dallas, Jackson retired again.
"I haven't spoken to Jimmy Buss this year," Jackson said, referring to the owner's son, in his final session with reporters. "As far as management, if you want to call it that, there's really not a relationship with that aspect of it. So when I leave here, I don't anticipate they'll call me up and ask my advice."
Indeed, the decision to hire Brown - whose contract contained three guaranteed years with a fourth-year team option - was made by Jim Buss in his debut as head of the day-to-day operations, replacing his father.
The Lakers finished No. 3 in the West last season and were eliminated by Oklahoma City in the second round of the playoffs.
Whatever peril that posed for Brown, the late-summer acquisitions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard raised expectations for the team and the stakes for him.
The Lakers went 0-8 in the preseason and started 1-4, with Brown trying to install the Princeton offense, Howard missing all but one of the exhibitions and Nash missing all but two regular-season games.
The starters were even older and slower. The supposedly rebuilt bench was outscored, 184-87. The Lakers never led in the second half of any of their losses.
With the team 1-3, Jim Buss had told ESPN Los Angeles: "I have no problems with Mike Brown at all. He just works too hard and he's too knowledgeable for this to be happening."
Buss added: "Kobe and I have a relationship where he can just look at me and say, 'Everything's cool.' So yesterday during practice, I gave Kobe a quick glance, and everything was cool."
After the desultory loss in Utah, everything heated up.
A video snippet showing Bryant glowering on the bench, titled the "Kobe death stare," found quick and immense popularity on the Internet.
At Brown's last practice on Thursday, Bryant, who had backed Brown and even joked that fans should "shut up, let us work," denied glaring at him.
Bryant said Friday that he and Jordan Hill were joking that Brown might hold a five-hour shoot-around before that night's game against Golden State. Shortly thereafter, Kupchak told the players Brown would not be coaching the shoot-around.
"Guys were in shock," Bryant said after the Lakers beat the Warriors, 101-77. "These guys haven't dealt with this. Some of them were just like, man, playing in L.A. is crazy."
He added, "But the situation being what it is, there just happens to be a lot of good coaches out there who are available."
Bryant endorsed D'Antoni as a "guy I'd absolutely be in favor of" as well as the former Lakers assistant Brian Shaw, now with the Pacers.
But Bryant all but composed an epic poem about Jackson.
"You all know how I feel about Phil," he said. "One thing that's always bothered me, his last year, I wasn't able to give him my normal self because I was playing on one leg. He's too great of a coach to go out that way."
Bryant added: "A lot of this is really Phil's fault. When it comes to basketball, he's on a genius level. So it's tough for anybody to step into those shoes afterward with players that were raised underneath that tutelage."
When asked about Jackson's ability to reinstall the triangle offense, Bryant said, "Are you doubting the Zen master?"

North Carolina gets much-needed win over Richmond
Nov 23, 2013, 3:30 PM EDT
Coming off of a home loss to Belmont last week, North Carolina needed to bounce back on a neutral court against a solid opponent. By taking down Richmond 82-72 on Saturday in the opening round of the Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament in Connecticut.
Marcus Paige focused on scoring on Saturday as he led the 3-1 Tar Heels with 26 points and only had two assists. Off the bench Brice Johnson had 24 points and 11 rebounds in a big-time effort for the sophomore forward.
This is a nice bounce-back win for North Carolina in a tournament that could give them some momentum going into ACC play. The Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament will give the Tar Heels a few days to work out some kinks and work some lineups as well.
Marcus Paige had a nice scoring effort for North Carolina here, but they'll likely rely on multiple guys to carry the scoring load led by Paige and James Michael McAdoo.

I remember watching this back in 95 when it was released in west (by Manga Video!). I have no idea if that VHS tape included only the first part or all three episodes. This was back when everything Manga and Anime was a pure mystery to 13 year old boys such as me and my friends. We got our information from other friends, older brothers and the sketchy staff in the one video store who imported these. We based most of our purchases on covers and hearsay, and that's why the first three animes I ever watched was Akira, Ninja Scroll and Urotsukidōji.

TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has already been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Chiefs. It looks like he could be out for at least a few games. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Brown's ankle injury is serious enough that he'll likely miss a few games. Brown said he had a high ankle sprain after last week's game, but there were reports that it wasn't a serious injury. I'm not sure why anyone thought a high ankle sprain wasn't serious. They always are and usually cost a player at least a few games. var _CI = _CI || {}; (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); ref = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; _CI.counter = (_CI.counter) ? _CI.counter + 1 : 1; document.write(''); script.type = 'text/javascript'; script.src = 'http://widget.crowdignite.com/widgets/27484?_ci_wid=_CI_widget_'+_CI.counter; script.async = true; ref.parentNode.insertBefore(script, ref); })(); sr_adspace_id = 1000005525107; sr_adspace_width = 300; sr_adspace_height = 250; sr_ad_new_window = true; sr_adspace_type = "graphic";

Guangzhou-Shenzhen High-Speed Railway Now Available
Guangzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway, a section of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed railway, is open to traffic today, December 26, 2011. The Guangzhou-Shenzhen section has 5stations: Guangzhou South Station (广州南站), Dongyong Station in Panyu District (番禺东涌站), Humen Station in Dongguan City (东莞虎门站), Guangming Station in Shenzhen (深圳光明站) and Shenzhen North Station (深圳北站).
Guangzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway is 147 kilometers long, and every day from 07:00 to 22:00, there are 36 pairs of G trains (the fastest train in China) running between these two cities. The running speed can reach to 300 kilometers per hour, and the shortest time for a journey is 35 minutes (compared with about 1 hour by a D train). The ticket prices are 100 yuan for a first-class seat and 75 yuan for a second-class seat. Clink to search China train schedules
Guangzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway can be extended to Wuhan (see Wuhang-Guangzhou high-speed railway) in Central China and Hong Kong. However, the Shenzhen-Hong Kong section is still under construction. At present, the time for a journey between Shenzhen and Wuhan can be short as 4 hours, and that for a journey between Shenzhen and Beijing can be short as 10 hours. When the Shenzhen-Hong Kong section is available, the time for a journey between Shenzhen and Kowloon in Hong Kong is only 20 minutes.

Clearing Up Securities Lending
Voices, September 13, 2010
If equity exchanges and fixed income deals are cleared through central clearinghouses, so should securities lending transactions.
That's the stance taken by two industry consultants-- Roy Zimmerhansl, a former director of securities lending for Icap and Andrew Howieson, a former director of European research for Tabb Group and State Street executive. They have just come out with a white paper late Monday entitled "Good, Bad or Inevitable" which provides some key reasons why securities lending participants – lenders and borrowers – should consider them.
Here is how the securities lending market typically works. A borrower – typically a broker-dealer, prime broker or hedge fund – finds a lender by working with a lending agent, typically a custodian bank. Lending agents screen the borrowers for creditworthiness and make certain they post sufficient collateral to protect the lender in the event of a default.
So what's the problem with the status quo? It doesn't allow for sufficient growth in the securities lending market without placing significant operational and technical burdens on a firm, say Zimmerhansl and Howieson
So far, central counterparty services are being offered by two electronic trading platforms for securities lending deals. One is Quadriserv in the U.S., whose AQS platform relies on a central counterparty service from the Options Clearing Corp. The other is SecFinex in Europe which relies on LCH.Clearnet and SIX x-clear. That leaves a lot of securities borrowing and lending deals consummated without the use of a central counterparty service.
Here are the three key arguments Zimmerhansl and Howieson give in favor of using central counterparty services for securities lending transactions
Reduced counterparty risk: "In the current post-Lehman market, reducing the number of borrowers with which lenders – namely large institutional fund managers – do business creates a concentration of counterparty exposure among a limited number of prime brokers and agent lenders," say.Zimmerhansl and Howieson Using a central counterparty reduces that risk because the central counterparty absorbs the risk in the event of the default of either the lender or the borrower. It also allows lenders to safely widen the universe of borrowers.
Reduced operational and technology costs: Operational functions such as collateral valuation and maintenance, administration of securities recalls and returns and processing of corporate actions is far more cost-effective in a centralized market rather than in one relying on bilateral agreements. The central counterparty service does all the calculations.
Reduced regulatory capital requirements: Under the proposed Basel III Accord, financial firms will be subject to a higher capital charge – aka they have to set aside more capital – for "exposures related from derivatives, repos and securities financing activities" if those transactions are done bilaterally. Using a central counterparty service reduces the capital charge.
They sound pretty good but there are three equally strong opposing viewpoints on why central counterparties are bad for securities lending deals as explained to Securities Technology Monitor by several securities lending executives at custodian banks. Zimmerhansl and Howieson naturally dispute all the arguments..
Increased counterparty risk: Granted, the central counterparty will be responsible for ensuring that the securities are returned to the lender by the borrower but the lender is actually subject to more indirect risk. That is because there will be more borrowers involved with a central counterparty rather than fewer and the risk will be "mutualized." That means that on the offchance that a borrower goes bust, the clearinghouse may have to tap into not only the collateral put up by that borrower but collateral put up by other borrowers and lenders as well. Zimmerhansl and Howieson's take: "Agent lenders that are not clearing members have absolutely no exposure to any losses within the CCP. It is misleading and erroneous to suggest otherwise and for those firms that are clearing members there are multiple levels of support that the CCP has to use up before the first penny of mutualized loss occurs."
Increased operational and technology costs: Using central counterparties doesn't reduce middle and back office costs for lenders, says Josh Galper, managing principal of consultancy Finadium in Concord Mass. That's because they will have to hire a clearing member to participate in the clearinghouse and communicate and reconcile their books with the clearing member. Lenders would also have to pay central counterparty clearing fees, put up margin of their own and worry about whether their margin would be segregated by the clearinghouse or by the clearing firm. Even more cumbersome is whether agent-lenders such as custodian banks will even want to become clearing members or lenders will want to rely on clearing firms which are borrowers of their securities. Doing so means that the borrower will have an in-depth knowledge of all of the lending firm's lending activities. Zimmerhansl and Howieson's take: "The argument about paying CCP fees and new operational, technology and reconciliation charges echoes the argument against the move from physical certificates to book-entry ownership of shares. In hindsight, the industry recognized that we could not have achieved our current scale without book entry ownership. However, segregation of assets is a valid concern in the U.S. market and OCC is working to resolve that."
Unknown effect on regulatory capital requirements: To benefit from reduced regulatory capital requirements under the Basel III Accord, a firm must be a direct clearing member of a clearinghouse. That means that lenders of securities – aka institutional funds – would not benefit and agent banks would only benefit if they are clearing members. That means that only broker-dealer borrowers might benefit. Zimmerhansl and Howieson's take: "Such a stance plays to the heads-in-the sand thinking. Regulators on both sides of the Atlantic have suggested that capital reserves for securities lending activities for all market participants – including agent lenders, insurance and insurance companies might be subject to a more stringent treatment of regulatory capital requirements in the future."
So who really would benefit from central counterparty services in the securities lending arena? One securities lending official at a custodian bank told Securities Technology Monitor that only borrowers would, because they can find lenders of securities they otherwise wouldn't on their own.
"There are market segments where CCPs are immediately relevant such as for broker-dealers who are having trouble borrowing securities on their own and need to find more lenders or lenders who can't find borrowers," confirms Finadium's Galper.
Zimmerhansl and Howieson agree that borrowers have a lot more to gain then lenders or their lending agents when it comes to using central counterparty services, and rightly so. Borrowers, they say, drive the growth of the securities lending market anyway so it is only natural they help take the lead in promoting the use of central clearing services.
Quadriserv says that two custodian banks are using its electronic platform but they are not clearing members of OCC. An additional 16 hedge funds and other asset managers also use OCC's central counterparty services through one of the thirty broker dealers who are clearing member of OCC.
However, Katherine Gill Law, speaking for Quadriserv in New York, says that interest from agent lenders – you call them custodian banks – is picking up.
EquiLend, also a electronic securities lending and borrowing marketplace favored by custodian bank lending agents, doesn't offer central counterparty clearing services – a limitation Zimmerhansl and Howieson believe reflects its "lack of risk management capabilities."
But Equilend's Chief Executive Brian Lamb is quick to question the validity of Zimmerhansl and Howieson's findings. "They offer interesting rationale for using CCP services for securities lending deals which have actually been offered by OCC for 17 years, but do not answer the overriding question: what is exactly wrong with the status quo that needs to be fixed," he says.
Lamb also points out that even during Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy, lenders were not hurt. That is because they actually returned excess collateral to Lehman.
Bottom line: neither lenders nor their agent banks are eager to make the necessary technological and contractual changes required to accommodate central counterparty services. And without the support of institutional fund managers and agent banks it doesn't seem likely that central counterparties in the securities lending market will take off. It still remains unclear why they should.

The idea of an absence: 'Silence' at Berkeley Art Museum
The works in the exhibition Silence, which opens today at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, span a century of artistic practice and explore the question of silence, and whether this intangible can be represented.
Silence is, by definition, uncommunicative and peaceful. It is also mysterious, threatening, meditative and explosive. It is simultaneously a state of quiet and a deafening absence of noise. This conundrum is addressed by the multidisciplinary works in the galleries and in film and video programs that have dispensed with representational imagery to depict the idea of an absence. … Continue reading »
Book explores impact of Berkeley Art Museum's Peter Selz
When Peter Selz arrived in Berkeley in 1965, the university only had a small art gallery to display its modest collection of art. Selz had been recruited from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City to oversee the construction of a new, contemporary museum, the Berkeley Art Museum on Bancroft Way.
He did that and more. With Selz at the helm, the Berkeley Art Museum redefined many aspects of modern art and brought overdue attention to California artists.
Selz was already "something of a star," when he arrived in Berkeley, according to Paul J. Karlstrom, whose new book, Peter Selz: Sketches of a Life, has just been released by UC Press. He had been one of the first curators to trumpet the work of Mark Rothko. His star grew even brighter in Berkeley after he put on groundbreaking shows such as "Directions in Kinetic Sculpture," an exhibition of the Surrealist René Magritte, and Funk!, which showcased ceramicist Peter Voulkos, Bruce Conner, and other California artists. Selz, who had fled Germany during the Nazi regime, also created the Pacific Film Archive. … Continue reading »

Is there any difference between these two lat excercises?
Is there any difference between these two lat excercises?
Anything behind the neck places more stress on your rotator cuffs, so you should be more careful doing them. With that in mind I'd advise sticking to front pulldowns, or better yet, chinups and pullups.
I have two friends who f'd up their rotator cuffs with (well this is their leading suspicion) pull downs behind the neck. I won't do them, I stick with the ones in front, weighted pullups and weighted chinups.
"Hope is a good comforter in the hour of danger, and when men have something else to depend upon, although hurtful, she is not ruinous. But when her spendthrift nature has induced them to stake their all, they see her as she is in the moment of their fall, and not till then."
- The Athenians to the Melians
Yep, do 'em in front. Oh, and no wider than shoulder-width grip.
'cause any wider and you'll be putting your rotator cuff in jeopardy.Originally Posted by pbfreak9999

Thanks for the kind words. The brick is actually new brick, known as "mexican handmade" brick. Sourced thru a local supplier in Austin. The mortar is intentionally rough to give it an older appearance.

How much is Allen Iverson's Net Worth? $1 Million!
Iverson spent the better part of his career with the Philadelphia 76ers. He was drafted in the 1996 NBA Draft, becoming the shortest first overall pick ever. He was named Rookie of the Year in 1996 and made the NBA All-Rookie First Team. In the first few years of his career, Iverson minimally improved the 76ers season record. However, he signed an extension for 70 million dollars and the 76ers improved drastically over the next two years. In his 1999-2000 season, Iverson was selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the first time. The following season, Iverson won the NBA's Most Valuable Player and took the 76ers to the NBA Finals. There his team met and lost to the Los Angeles Lakers. The following years, the 76ers made early exits in the playoffs. Eventually he left the 76ers for the Denver Nuggets. After fall-outs with the Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies, Iverson returned to the 76ers. He left the 76ers, citing his daughter's health issues. He did not return to the 76ers, but headed to Turkey to play for Beşiktaş.
Allen Iverson's net worth is believed to be less than one million dollars. In 2012, Iverson claimed that he was broke and could not pay his obligations to creditors. Though Iverson's monthly income is about $62,500, he spends roughly $360,000 per month on expenses.

Hydrophilic PDMS for Biomedical Surfaces or Materials
|Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an inert non-toxic silicon-based polymer that is used in applications ranging from medical devices (prosthesis, contact lenses, etc) to electrical insulators, anti-foaming agents, and other products. Each of these applications is a multi-billion dollar market in which PDMS plays a significant role. For example, the prosthesis market generates between $6 and $11 billion a year. The hydrophobic nature of PDMS is an undesirable property for microfluidic devices, biomedical uses, and sensor applications. A variety of strategies have been developed to render the PDMS surface hydrophilic, which include exposure to oxygen plasma, ozone, corona discharge, and ultraviolet light. Utah State University's PDMS technology is a simple and cost-efficient method to create hydrophilic PDMS surfaces by polymer addition chemistry, compared to the above mentioned costly and time consuming procedures.
|Features and Benefits
|Utah State University's technology involves the controlled addition of a polymeric surfactant to the mixture of a base and curing agent to produce PDMS with a hydrophilic surface. The polymeric surfactant additive contains (a) a pendant polymer chain which is compatible with the base elastomer and serves to distribute the additive within the elastomer matrix and (b) a functional monomer / moiety, which imparts desirable surface properties to the formed elastomer monolith, where van der Waals forces and hydrophobic interactions between the PDMS base polymer and polymeric surfactant additive are sufficient to lead to a stable hydrophilic surface.
|Development Stage
|Hydrophilic PDMS has been produced in laboratory quantities and the PDMS solubility has been correlated with additive properties.

Imagine a ski that performs for everyone, anywhere: One for all. All in one.
HEAD Era 3.0 is not your one-dimensional "have a problem- we fix it!" technology. Era 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape, and geometry.
Think rocker, think radius, think rebound. Think 3-dimensional!
For superior steering and increased floatation.
We place a highly targeted amount of rocker in each model to ensure maximum performance for all ability levels.
Steering is easier for all skiers and soft snow versatility is enhanced.
For tremendous turning.
Regular rocker makes skiers place their ski further on edge to have it touch from tip-to-tail.
With prograssive radius, up to 50% less angulation is needed to enjoy full edge contact. More edge on the snow = more edge grip.
For targeted stability.
We move our legendary piezoelectric Intellifibers to the tip of the ski.
The nasty tip vibrations found on regular rockers are not found here. These skis are too smart for that.
HEAD skis with Era 3.0 are much easier to ski and provide much higher bandwidth of performance in any kind of terrain.
Making everyone whos not a die-hard racer or all-out freeskier - and thats 80% of the skiers out there - better skiers.
Modularly built to match any rider's needs, from amateur to pro, and everything in between.

Suns guard Leandro Barbosa put up some shots after today's shootaround in Boston but is planning to sit out a third consecutive game tonight against the Celtics.
Barbosa said the wrist was "way better but it's still bothering me." He said he feels pain, a "pop," when he shoots.
"I think I'm gong to wait one more game," Barbosa said.
The Suns' next game is at Washington on Sunday, giving him a week since his last game against Minnesota.
Suns center Robin Lopez, on the mend from a foot fracture, was allowed to work on post moves and running the floor after the shootaround today. He stayed for an extra 30 minutes to work out with Dan Majerle, Igor Kokoskov and Mike Elliott.
Tonight's matchup . . .
Suns (4-1) at Celtics (6-0)
C: Channing Frye ... Kendrick Perkins
PF: Amare Stoudemire ... Kevin Garnett
SF: Grant Hill ... Paul Pierce
SG: Jason Richardson ... Ray Allen
PG: Steve Nash ... Rajon Rondo
"This is a healthy challenge for us," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. "With the additions they've made and a healthy KG, they're arguably the best team in the league."
The above lineup does not even account for Rasheed Wallace and Marquis Daniels being Celtics now. Wallace defends the post as well as anyone in the league and spreads the floor with his shooting.
"I don't see any weaknesses in their team," Gentry said. "It will give us a great idea of where we need to get to."

#isntanact #((AM I TRYING TO RP)) #((I DON'T KNOW)) #((I JUST DON'T KNOW))
Hey guys, I really want to get back into RPing here, but I'm very overwhelmed. So I've decided to unfollow everyone I'm not actively talking with and start fresh. I love you all, but my dash is really cluttered.
((Left an ask. :3))
"Ah, yes," replies Roselyn, noting the possessive emphasis in Mr. Moriarty's tone. "You're very lucky to have him." She wouldn't dare touch Sebastian Moran; she valued her life too much. "But if you excuse me, I have to go get the lilies. I forgot them in her bedroom."
Roselyn turns away from Moriarty and walk through the living room and into Megan's bedroom. There was a large basket covered with a blanket full of white lilies sitting in the center of Megan's bed. Megan had spent a good hour cutting all the flowers from their stems, but the added work was well worth it. White lilies where Megan's favorite. Roselyn also grabs a pack of large sewing needles and heavy duty thread out of her purse and toss them on top of the blanket. She picks up the basket and makes her way back to Megan and Moriarty.
Roselyn wants Sebastian- well, as far as Jim can tell, she wants his innards in a bucket and his body open on her living room floor. It would be a lovely sight, of course, and he allows himself to entertain the mental image for a while before realizing she's still talking. "Lilies?" he mumbles to himself, grinning and shaking his head. How disgustingly sentimental. Not that Jim dislikes flowers particularly- he doesn't like them, of course, but then he doesn't like anything. And Jim has had enough dealing with killers to know they have a very particular way in which they like to kill.
He waits with Megan's body, venturing closely and gently nudging her head to the side with the toe of his shoe. "Poor dear," he sighs, tsking and shaking his head. "Your business is murder. You should've known the signs. I'd say I'll miss you, but I really won't." And he straightens her head, smoothing back a stray lock of hair and straightening up as Roselyn comes back. "How lovely," he deadpans, looking at the flowers.

CLEVELAND -- Kyrie Irving's stint as part-time cheerleader and coach is finally over. It's time for the All-Star guard to get back on the court.
Irving practiced with his Cavaliers teammates for the first time in two weeks Tuesday after missing eight games with a biceps injury. Irving took some contact during his first workout since straining a left biceps tendon March 16 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
"I feel good," Irving said. "It was great to be back out there. It was definitely hard for me these last two weeks just sitting on the bench. But as always, if I go down, I'm the biggest cheerleader. "
Irving doesn't know yet if he'll play Wednesday in Orlando, a key game in the Cavs' playoff push. He'll take part in the shootaround and then consult with the medical staff.
The third-year pro, who has missed 49 games because of injuries during his NBA career, said whether he plays is not entirely his call.
"If I'm ready to go, I see no reason to stop me," he said. "But obviously everyone has their reason, as we know in this business. Obviously, you have a respect for it, but as a basketball player and as a competitor, there's an inner drive to be back out there. We'll see what happens."
Irving's return comes as the Cavs enter their biggest games this season.
While he was out, the team went 4-4 and climbed into playoff contention in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland trails Atlanta by three games for the No. 8 spot. After playing the Magic, the Cavs face the Hawks on Friday in Atlanta.
"I'm excited just to be a part of it every single day," Irving said. "When we talked at the beginning of the season, we said, 'Aw, we need to figure this out, we need to figure that out,' but now, as I'm watching the team, even late in games we get down 14, 16 with five minutes left to go in the game, and teams just can't score against us in that last five minutes.
"We've learned how to buckle down. We're finding ways to win and learning how to win. On the road -- or at home. It's fun to watch."
Irving doesn't think his return will disrupt the club's new chemistry.
"These guys trust me and I trust them," he said. "We're all teammates. I've been staying locked in with them since I got hurt, which has been really important for me, and really good for my growth."
Cavs coach Mike Brown said Irving has contributed despite not playing.
"A guy like Kyrie can be a game-changer even if he's not in uniform," Brown said. "Guys listen to him, guys respect him. If they see he's engaged, it makes the team that much more connected. He's helped in that area, in that connectivity."
Brown said Irving's playing time might be limited when he returns. More certain is that the Cavs on Wednesday night will be without forward Anderson Varejao, who sprained his shoulder Sunday against Indiana. It's not clear if he'll miss more time.
Rookie Anthony Bennett was excused from the team so he could return to Toronto because of a "family health matter." He will not be with the team in Orlando or Atlanta.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

Addictive. Didn't realize it was going to make so much, but served it at a party and got rave reviews. I liked it best on the celery. The next time I make it I will do it in a crock pot and just mix the cheese in because there was not a good way to keep it warm and with the cheese just on top, the cheese hardened as it cooled

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember at the beginning of Cata the devs wanting tanking to be more engaged and threat to matter when 90% of the posts were along the line of "OMG it take 40 minutes to kill the first batch of trash in a heroic dungeon, due to EVERY damn mob having an insta-kill mechanic that will wipe you repeatedly."
So, now they realize that having to watch 5 mobs while juggling threat and defensive cooldowns is not 'fun'?
If they had came to this conclusion a few months earlier, they would have at least one more subscriber at the end of the month.
I have said it before, it's about as hard (or harder) to balance playstyles than it is to balance classes. One expac they "cater" towards casuals, then they "cater" towards hardcores. Instead of just making the game one way. And yes, it seems blizzard likes talking out both ends of their tails.

I would agree, except they're making "tank survival interactive" or whatever. Have to see what it's like of course, but the cooldowns already in place are fine I think. Next we'll have a bunch of tanks worrying about survival instead of DPS pulling and tanks will be spikier (which is a common complaint about DK's, the model they mentioned following).
SO yeah, tanking and healing will suck, and the dps that can't follow simple directions and makes the entire dungeon a chore? No effect on him...
Hey, maybe an article entitled "Is it time to kill DPSing" would be better.

Another possibility is that they decided to do things one way, saw that it didn't really work out the way they wanted it to, and then changed their minds about it.
In fact, I think they came right out and said that when they made the threat changes. Something about how tank swapping, add wrangling, kiting, etc were much better ways of keeping tanks engaged than 'produce x threat or your healers and dps get one-shot.'
To my mind, the answer is not "kill DPSing", but "Kill healing". I would guess that 90% of the healing DPS players receive in PuGs is avoidable. Imagine that there wasn't a healer class, and instead the DPS classes were all equipped with abilities that enabled them to restore their own health (think Recuperate, or a Ret Paladin healing himself). This would mean idiots who stand in the fire would spend more time and resources healing themselves than DPSing, meaning that crappy DPS players would actually do crappy Damage Per Second. Remove the nursemaid charged with saving players from their own stupidity, and I think DPS would get a lot better at avoiding what damage they can.
Granted, this is a massive paradigm shift that I don't think WoW would be able to make. That, and if they DID do it, I imagine they'd hemorrhage even more customers - I think really bad DPS players make up a sizable chunk of the subscriber base.
