Updates and Improvements in Gnome 2.18
Gnome 2.18 appears exactly six months after the last stable release. The developers have focused on stability, but you'll also find some new and improved tools.
Despite much criticism, the GNU project's official desktop environment is gaining fans. Home users, as well as corporations, are starting to back the combination of Gnome, Gtk+, and GStreamer. Nokia, for example, used Gnome along with Maemo [1] on its N770 Internet Tablet. The N770's successor, the N800 [2], sees a continuation of this strategy. In April, a number of global IT players, including Intel, Nokia, Canonical, and Red Hat, joined forces to form the Gnome Mobile & Embedded (GMAE) initiative [3]. This marks the entry of the Gnome project into the mobile and embedded market. As a positive side effect, many improvements from the GMAE initiative will find their way back into the main project.

Because of the suspension of CMS from May to November 2010, the mobile team was unable to visit the cities of Najran and Jizan according to schedule. For this reason, applicants from these areas were likewise accommodated because of the two cities' relative proximity to Abha and Khamis Mushayt – all of which are part of the Asir region. This was made possible with the coordination of the Mr. Ronald Dela Cruz and Ms. Rosie Camacho, Area Coordinators of Najran and Jizan, respectively, with Mr. Virgilio Crisostomo, Area Coordinators of Abha and Khamis Mushayt.
The mobile team was able to process 15 new passport applications, 465 passport renewals, and 4 lost passports. To serve the needs of these Filipinos and also for humanitarian consideration, the mobile team granted 63 requests for passport validity extension to applicants who could not be accommodated within the appointment period and had expired passports. Aside from these, the mobile team also processed 41 notarials, 12 certifications and 1 authentication, majority of which were released on the same day these were filed.
The overall success of the mobile service can be attributed to the dedication, hard work and cooperation of the Consular Mobile Team composed of Vice Consul Mary Jennifer Dingal (Team Leader), Cecilia Nuguit, Joginder Capapas-Jacinto, Abundio Fiedalan, Camama Mandangan, Jr. and Omar Amatonding, the strong leadership of the Area Coordinators and the unwavering commitment of Filipino community volunteers.
Services from the Consulate's attached agencies, particularly, POLO-OWWA and PAG-IBIG, were also extended by their representatives who joined the consular team.
During the visit, Vice Consul Dingal was also able to administer the oath of the officers of the newly created Filipino organization in Abha/Khamis Mushayt, the Sinag Visayan Organization.
In the coming year, the Philippine Consulate looks forward to the conduct of Consular Mobile Services in the other provinces within its jurisdiction. Schedule of these will be announced in due time.

Since being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers, linebacker James Harrison has been unable to generate the kind of interest that would land him a significant contract offer, and the lack of a market for his services may lead him to return to Pittsburgh at a significant discount:
James Harrison's agent, Bill Parise, said he has not closed the door on his client returning to PITT and would welcome a call from Steelers.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 25, 2013
Harrison, who will turn 35 in May, was set to make $6.57 million next season. His 64 career sacks make him the 14th-highest active sack leader in the NFL.

We want to welcome the folks coming over from Hashmarks and SI.com's Hot Clicks. Thanks to both Matt Mosley and SI for the hook up. But on to the big news…
Thanks to the good folks over at YardBarker.com, and of course "The Show" himself, we have an exclusive interview with Chiefs star Dwayne Bowe for you! D-Bo not only has a new official site, but he will be blogging for YB from here on out as well. Here's his latest post. Bark it up! (By the way, YB is blowing up and becoming the place to read pro athlete's blogs. Great site for sports fans.)
Here are the questions. It's a quickie but goody. Hopefully, we'll be able to do this again and you can definitely read his thoughts over at YB…
1. My brother and I were at your first home game at Arrowhead when you completely took over and caught the game-winning touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings. The atmosphere was simply electric. You seemed jacked, you were calling for the ball. What was that game like for you?
It was just like college. I just felt like the team needed me and I took it into my own hands like I did when I was at LSU. My high school coach, Carlos Osegueda told me that big time players make big time plays in big time games in big time situations and that is what I did. I enjoyed the moment and then focused onto the next game.
2. All the hype and buzz Chiefs-wise is Glenn Dorsey right now, your ex- and once-again teammate. Tell us a little about the big man. Is he as good as advertised?
He is from LSU, what do you expect? I told Herm Edwards if you want to win, draft Glenn and that's what he did. So you can expect "The Show" and former LSU superstar Glenn Dorsey to make it happen for the Chiefs this year.
3. We understand that you are thinking about taking "The Show" from the football field to the silver screen. Is Hollywood ready for D-Bo? What kind of stuff do you see yourself doing?
To be continued…
4. Lil' Wayne is your favorite rapper. Could you hang with Weezy on the mic?
Of course, he do his thang on the mic, I do my thang on the field but at the same time we are both doing our thing.
5. Chiefs fans always debate this, so we'll let you decide for the last question. Who do you hate more: the Denver Broncos or Oakland Raiders?
I don't hate neither of the teams…hate is a very strong word. I love playing both teams, they have very good corners who challenge me to do my best.
6. Who's the bigger pretty boy: D-Bo or Tony G?
Neither, Tank Tyler!
7. How's your Herm Edwards impersonation? Who's the best on the Chiefs at doing Herm?
I do a pretty good Herm impersonation.
Good times! Hopefully, we'll be able to do this again sometime during the season. For now, we hear that D-Bo is going to likely be doing some vlogging. So, we'll holler at the YB folks and see if they can get that Herm impersonation on video over there.

Sturman packs a lot of story into a relatively short novel, leaving readers craving more, more, more! The mystery is compelling and smart, and the novel never veers into the familiar. The fun of it is guessing who's involved and who's merely along for the exhilarating ride.
When her genius mother goes missing on a "work" expedition, Delia can feel in her bones that T.K. isn't dead, as everyone else believes. Sent to New York to live with her aunts, Delia continues with her search and becomes almost certain that T.K. is not missing. She adapts to her new life, which includes the most handsome boy she's ever seen. (POINT, Jul., 256 pp., $16.99, ISBN: 9780545087223, HC, 14 and Up)

Samsung's future management without Lee Kun-heeUpdated: 2014-05-22 20:03:40 KST
And much spotlight is also being put on HOW the group will restructure itself in terms of leadership. What do we know about the succession plan as it relates to Lee's three children?
The big picture of the plan is mostly drawn up experts say, with many predicting that the electronics and financial sector will be handed over to Lee's only son Jae-yong, the chemical and hotel sectors to first daughter Boo-jin, and the fashion and media sectors to second daughter Seo-hyun.
BUT they add that nothing is for certain when it comes to which affiliate goes to whom, especially regarding the construction sector.
Al-right Ji-hye, thank you for the report.

Favouring the Underdog
There are some realities in the world that are kept from us by an illusory curtain, until the time comes to actually experience them first hand. As so many other things in life, fashion also plays a part in this universe of illusions, which is more apparent to some than others…
I won't get too deep into the issue of branding, as by now it would be almost like preaching to the choir, but I'd like to write a brief reflection and bring forth some topics on why I favour smaller labels.
First and foremost, I hope enlightenment has come to you at some point that big names and reputation don't necessarily translate into quality; unfortunately, in some cases, it's quite the opposite. Don't get me wrong, most fashion giants deserve their hardly-earned reputation. I'm a fan of some of them, but the truth remains that the values, legacy and heritage left by their founders are slowly being put to shame by an ever-growing urge for profit. Bear with me…Of course at the end of the day it all comes down to business, fashion represents massive revenues, but in my modest opinion, business can be run in several ways.
Working in the industry for some time now, has opened my mind to the harsh realities behind major labels. For me, the biggest disappointment was witnessing how passion is lost throughout the years and profit alone dictates everything as newer generations and luxury groups take over. I wholeheartedly believe passion has to be part of the equation, in order to create a connection to consumers and actually produce something unique (that stands out for something other than a particular label). Common scenario…Imagine a brand that starts out set to deliver quality and attention to detail in each piece, sourcing the best fabrics and working with the best manufacturers (within its budget): say the original retail price is €100.
Lots of hype, global praise and several raving reviews later, it assumes a cult/exclusivity status, allowing it to increase prices to + €300 (not all manage to do it, but there are several successful examples out there). Although it's stellar to achieve such an increase in margin and markup, let's keep in mind they were already making money to begin with…So, one would think that the logic thing to do would be to make the most of this extra breathing space and try to upgrade your product, slowly and even if ever so slightly: better fabrics, materials, quality and craftsmanship, all while enjoying the recent found success of course.
Reality is quite different I'm afraid. Once that leap occurs and brands gain market recognition and dimension, the majority of them work exactly in the opposite way, pressuring manufacturers for lower prices often achieved at the cost of all of the aforementioned. As fashion becomes ultimately a question of numbers, where major brands are run by financial departments, it's up to us as consumers, experts or aficionados, to actively make thoughtful choices and spend our hard-earned money where it's actually worth it, instead of merely considering insignias or status.

We have it so much better
When it comes to fashion, men have it easier than women in a variety of ways. Although trends and collections are a reflection of the surrounding environment, usually influenced by prominent stylish personalities, when it comes to menswear the cyclic changes are much more subtle than those of our female counterparts…While there are also seasonal trends such as particular prints, garments or even wearabilities, the pages in which menswear is written have a century-old patina cemented over years of gentlemanly tradition.
In a way, this allows us to seamlessly update timeless attires by mixing trendy, up to date details instead of purchasing a whole new wardrobe…Ok, maybe not an entirely new wardrobe, but it's a fact that women tend to buy more at cheaper prices, and (most) womenswear strongly sails with this flow. For men, you just know that some garments will always be classics and survive the test of time and passing tendencies: say a 2 button navy blazer or a perfect fitting suit - buttons, lapels and cut may vary or reminisce but if you stay within a certain spectrum, chances are they'll stay with you for a long time.
So for us gentlemen, it all comes down to the old mantra of buying less but better: invest in quality pieces, splurge on essentials and save on ethereal garments. Not only will you feel more confident and look flawless, but at the end of the day you'll end up with pieces you love, ultimately saving money and making your life much easier when it comes to getting dressed in the morning…

I'M JUMPING for LITTLE HEARTS this SUNDAY
This is 14 year old Ibrahim who was screened for a congenital heart defect by our volunteer doctors in Morocco.
It is the very heart breaking moment that he is told that his condition is untreatable as it is simply too late to operate.
If you are wondering what a congenital heart defect; it is a heart disease acquired at birth and best treated early.
The sad thing is, Ibrahim's condition was treatable had he received the specialist medical attention he needed at birth. Instead he now looks forward to a limited life which will come to pass quick. In fact doctors say it will be a miracle if he lives to see his 20s.
Ibrahim is not alone, and there are many children in poorer countries who share a similar fate.
The Little Hearts project presents an opportunity to prevent the needless suffering of these children.
SO HERE'S Where YOU come in…. I'll be doing a BUNGEE JUMP for this amazing project which I ask you to help me reach my target of raising a £1,000.
So please contribute to my jump, with what ever YOU CAN!

So the worst nightmare years may have begun again. There were thousands of them - Christians fighting Christians north of Beirut, Sunni and Shia Muslims in the capital, a rain of stones, shrieks of hatred and occasionally even gunfire - that turned Lebanon into a sectarian battleground yesterday.
At the corner of a street off Corniche al-Mazraa, I watched what historians may one day claim was the first day of Lebanon's new civil war, huge mobs of young men, supporters and opponents of Fouad Siniora's government screaming abuse and throwing tens of thousands of rocks at each other as a wounded Lebanese soldier sat next to me and wept.
For the army of this tragic country is now the thin red line some actually were wearing red berets that stands between a future for Lebanon and the folly of civil conflict.
After 31 years in this country, I never truly believed I would see again what I witnessed on the streets of Beirut yesterday, thousands of Shia and Sunni Muslims, the first supporting the Hizbollah, the second the government once led by the murdered ex-prime minister Rafik Hariri, hurling stones and hunks of metal at each other. They crashed down around us, smashing the road signs, the advertisement hoardings, the windows of the bank against which seven Lebanese soldiers and I were cowering. Again and again, the soldiers ran into the roadway to try with a desperation all of them understood, and they were brave men to drag the youths from each other. Some of the Shia men, Amal members, loyal (heaven spare us) to the Speaker of Parliament, wore hoods and black face masks, most wielding big wooden clubs.
Their predecessors perhaps their fathers were dressed like this 31 years ago when they fought in these same streets, executioners-to-be, all confident in the integrity of their cause. Perhaps they were even wearing the same hoods. Some of the troops fired into the air; they shouted at the stone throwers. "For God's love, stop," one young soldier screamed. "Please, please."
But the crowds would not listen. They shrieked "animals" at each other and obscenities and on one side of the street they produced pictures of the Hizbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and of Michel Aoun, the Christian ex-general who wants to be president and is Nasrallah's ally, and on the other side of the street, the Sunnis produced a portrait of Saddam Hussein. Thus did the cancer of Iraq spread to Lebanon yesterday. It was a day of shame.
Across Lebanon came reports of dying men two according to one, six according to another, and at least 60 wounded and the country's leaders were last night writing their narrative of Lebanon's modern history with predictable speed. Nasrallah, hero of last summer's war with Israel or so he likes to think demanding the resignation of the government while Siniora and his colleagues, trapped in the old Turkish "serail" downtown, called this an attempted coup d'état by the forces of Syria and Iran.
It is not that simple. The Shias are the downtrodden, the poor, the dispossessed, those who have always been ignored by the dons and patriarchs of the Lebanese government for in one sense this is also a social revolution and on the other were the Sunni population so beloved of Hariri and the Druze and the Christians still loyal to the Lebanese forces who were Israel's allies in 1982 and who massacred the Palestinians in the camps of Sabra and Chatila, as well as a majority of Lebanese innocents who voted Siniora's government into power.
Thus north of Beirut, Aoun's Christian forces tried to block the roads and were set on by Samir Geagea's thugs. In Tripoli, supporters of Hariri's son Saad were fighting Alawite supporters of Syria. In Hazmiyeh, it was Shias versus Christians and in Corniche al-Mazraa, it was Shias against Sunnis. No, as Nasrallah would be the first to say, this is not necessarily a civil war and it has to be said that the Hizbollah's tens of thousands of fighters were by far the most disciplined men on the streets of Beirut but it was he who called a general strike yesterday on the eve of the Paris economic conference that is supposed to save Lebanon's economy and who blocked all the main roads of Lebanon with burning tyres and concrete blocks and pipes and rubble from last summer's war.
My driver, Abed, and I tried to reach the airport but vast swaths of black smoke poured from the burning rubber on all the approach roads. I walked three miles to the terminal, only to find the Hizbollah protecting both the airport and the Lebanese troops who were guarding it. When we turned round, Abed tried to drive over the burning tyres but trapped one beneath our car, the flames curling up the sides of the bodywork, desperately reversing to clear our wheels as Hizbollah men screamed abuse.
Siniora condemned it all last night, demanding an emergency session of parliament. He still plans to go to the Paris summit. But how will he get to the airport? "We will not be scared," Nasrallah said yesterday. "We will not retreat ... We will not be dragged on to the streets [of civil war]." But he should have been on Corniche al-Mazraa. All across Beirut, the Hizbollah, most dressed in black trousers and shirts (for this is the holy month of Ashura, is it not?) had closed the roads, and the army stood and watched. It is a largely Shia army, for it is the Shias who are the largest community in Lebanon, but in the streets they were forced to fight. As I sat with the soldiers amid the crashing stones many of the projectiles hurled into the street from the roofs of eight-storey apartment blocks I watched them wilt under the pressure. One knelt down and vomited; others were almost overcome by their own tear gas, fired uselessly at the vast crowds. For these were not Belfast-sized riots or Gaza-sized demonstrations.
The mobs were there in their thousands, chorusing their hatred for those who lived across the other side of the boulevard. There were few officers. But after an hour, a Lebanese colonel ran down the street, a smartly dressed man, not even wearing a flak jacket, who walked straight into the highway between these two great waves of angry people, the stones banging off his helmet and body and legs. And the soldiers around me stood up and ran into the road to join him between these two enormous forces.
I don't like journalists who fall in love with armies. I don't like armies. But yesterday it seemed that this one man was a lonely symbol of what stood between Lebanon and chaos. I don't know his religion. His soldiers were Sunnis and Shias and Christians I had checked, of course all dressed in the same uniform. Could they hold together, could they remain under his command when their brothers and cousins, some of them, must have been among the crowds? They did. Some even grinned as they hurled themselves at the hooded men and youths too young to have known the last civil war, pleading and shouting for the violence to end. They won. This time. But what about today?

What once was a small town evolved into a Canadian-based thriving city that harbored hundreds of thousands of citizens, all working towards the same goal: clean energy in exchange for free living and few obligations aside from a job.
However, due to the unusual circumstances of the city's needs the perfect set-up for a social experiment had also been built. Something the council members decided to take advantage of. For the new citizens, with perks, there would also be new rules. Upon joining the city, they must work their way up from the bottom, both when it comes to living spaces and jobs. Being given small apartments in old buildings with only the furniture they strictly need and assigned random, menial jobs, the goal is to find out how people adapt to an even more drastic change of scenario and if it's possible to further implement the concept of sex as currency.

Fire ripped through a Lockport apartment building leaving the residents of all 28 units homeless this weekend.
Firefighters say it started in a second floor apartment at 6343 Robinson Road around 7:00 Saturday evening. They helped make sure everyone made it out safely and got the flames under control within half an hour. The resident who called 911 says she suspects a faulty air conditioner sparked the fire.
"I came outside and I was going to leave and I seen smoke coming out of an apartment building, and so I just called the fire company cause I knew it was a fire," says Kristina Mottorn, "The fire company came and kicked in all the doors and it just spread instantly."
The Red Cross is offering help to the people left homeless.

Phase Design
Los Angeles
- Location: Studio City, CA
- Website: phasedesignonline.com
Phase Design was started in 2000 by Reiza Fez, a self taught designer who has been recognized worldwide for his modern design. From sleek mid century inspired planters (our favorite) to wire benches and side tables (featured last week on the CBS morning show after a great reception at ICFF), the construction is simple and straightforward with a bold quality that keeps it dramatic. Check out the news section of the website for a sneak peak at a new line of cabinets, credenzas and bookshelves. We love the Griffin Planters in cool blue or white: they can be used as planters, stacked as sculpture, or used as stools (as the Griffin Stool, you get a wood piece that fits over the opening). Its shape is simple and modern, its finish high gloss, now if only we had a pool to put them next to.
Check out all the design on the website phase design.

I like the stools/planters. Too bad they are fiberglass. Would be great if they were ceramic. But those metal and wood tables look a bit clunky.
I like the planters. Would the fiberglass be more prone to fade in the sun?

Here is an article from Huffington Post about the mental health of our children, and how important it is to not only treat the symptoms, but to find the underlying causes. I thought that the following really conveyed the meaning the author is trying to get across:
If we fail to respond appropriately and in a timely manner, we lead our children down a path where their mental health problems are sure to worsen. This is not only bad for our kids but for society as a whole. So how do we improve the mental healthcare of children? We can start by asking questions and educating ourselves. We can take more of an interest in psychology and fight to de-stigmatize mental health conditions.

What did you think of the article?

Many persons are calling the efforts to reform health care as leading to socialism. My questions to them are – Do you participate in Social Security? Medicare? Unemployment Insurance? Fire and Police protection? Public transportation? The Drake, Senior Services, or Children Services Levies?
Perhaps just reading Matthew 20: 1- 16 will help.

Man, OKC interviews are brutal.
Reporter: Hi this is my question... also this is the answer that I'm going to put in my article regardless of what you say. Do you agree?
Player: ... ya
@Johnny Thunder As opposed to WESTBR00K?
Not that it's a huge offseason topic at all, but any word on who will be replacing Grant Long? Desmond Mason is probably the clear choice, but I heard someone suggest Jim Ross, which honestly would be hilarious. Brian Davis and his complete opposite calling Thunder games would be entertaining.
I like how Perk is the most garbage center in history until someone proposes a trade scenario, then nothing is worth losing his defense
Just heard the BS Report. Good. God... if we ever win a title without Harden, I'm already looking forward to hearing Bill Simmons take credit for "motiviating" the Thunder a la Skip Bayless
@KC_Thunder As a former Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady fan, I can save Pau the trouble and tell him that Carmelo will never win a championship. He's just a really good scorer in a scorers league.
@L0rv @thunder_mike To be fair the Laker's big 3 championship contender turned into a D-League team over the last 2 years, injuries like that will happen. I think his injury concerns go way down in OKC.
So obviously they have the ringgzzz on us, but saying that we're sticking with the Spurs model of small market dominance. Would Pau Gasol already be a bigger free agent signing than the Spurs have had in the Pop era? Michael Finley is the only big one I remember, and he was on the last leg of his prime.
So is there seriously an anti-Gasol faction? We can upgrade from Perk and get an HOF'er who is still really good, and we're worried about Adams' development? Mind is blown...
@AIaska DT Offseason in a nutshell: Every free agent not named Lebron is overpaid, declining garbage.
@d21 @okcjim @Lost Ones @KindaScottish Are we assuming he's going to Chicago? I don't see any reason for him to take on the West.
@Lost Ones Easily the worst part of the Thunder game experience. It's like high school girls pick all of the music
@Oboy @thunder_mike Terrible at sight and math. My bad.
Down 22 with 90 seconds left. Why are the starters still playing?
lol the refs are outsmarting the system. Now reversing the call on the court.
If my english is correct, the refs made the correct call on the Reggie play.
Man, was Steve Kerr annoying as hell last night or what?? Clearly he has a dog in the fight now. Sounded like a job interview
Steve Kerr is basically spending this entire telecast trying to convince the Knicks he knows how to beat the Thunder lol
lol Adams. I think I'm starting to see what he does. genius.
Blake Griffin gets like 10 steps to set up his post game. It's like D-Wade level traveling
Steve Kerr just blasting Westbrook today. Must've gotten the Knicks job, he doesn't give an eff anymore
@[brooks' fault] @L0rv @neo12 Sigh it still kills me to watch that 4th quarter. PJ3 and Lamb are just way more athletic than Caron and Fisher. If they aren't hitting 3's then I can't find any reason to play the veterans
@harmlesslyfatal @Juwanna @d21 Jordan had Phil Jackson.
@FearTheStraw Considering Lillard usually shoots game winners one-on-one and KD shoots triple team'd half court 3's, yes Lillard probably has a better record.
I know it's pretty unlikely, but would we go into the tax for Pau?
@FearTheStraw @Lost Ones Calling KD out on the front page is not a problem in any way. The word "Unreliable" is probably the most incorrect word they could have used. So you're telling me that in 6 straight years of lighting the league on fire and putting up with Brooks idiocy and Westbrook's craziness/injuries, the guy has 4 down games and he's unreliable? Just an irresponsible move IMO.
@Es Wild @Keith00 @[brooks' fault] @d21 Ya I don't think Ben Wallace is a good comparison. Hibbert has this "rule of verticality' thing down, but Wallace was an elite defender who actually played sound defense. I remember many times where he would get switched with a guard on the perimeter and hold is own, even got a few steals. Serge is closer to Ben Wallace defensively than Hibbert.
Sigh all the sads today. I wonder if Presti really would pull the plug on Scott Brooks. I honestly think that KD is just exhausted. Brooks let him play to the buzzer way too many times this season, especially with games in hand. His lack of offensive scheme has caused KD to expend himself, and also leaves the bench with no gameplan to be able to keep or extend a lead. Time to go Scotty...
@mattchant Westbrook to Ibaka game 3 or 4 I think. It was pretty surprising to see.
Could not have imagined a more satisfying way for the Rockets to lose
How is the rip move not a foul at all?
KD was reading DT during the timeout
I'd say "streak" hangover for KD
Why are we wasting Thabo on Collison?
I'm still confused on how they got a 4 point play. The whistle was blown before the shot.
Uh nice stiff arm Chris
No clipper fan OHHHHs for Chris Paul getting his ankles broken on an inbound?
I think Chris Paul got a visit from the Monstars
Is there a highlight video anywhere of Kevin Durant's ridiculous March? He's still killin it, but man sometimes I miss the reaper.
Randomly dropping in so it may have been said already, but is it fair to say that Caron Butler is basically the second coming of Thunder-Jeff Green? Undersized, lots of effort but a step slow, and a 3 pointer that never looks like it's going in.
@HashMoney Kevin Durant completely invalidates the term "best defender in the league"
If people took a picture of DT 7 minutes ago and right now, they wouldn't in a million years believe they were reading the same thread #bipolar
Nevermind found it.
Hey guys I never had a chance to watch the interview with Durant, Westbrook, and Collison on the beginnings of the Thunder. It's pretty old so obviously the nba website will take 10 years of my life to navigate.
Anyone have a link?
@Lasch Oh ya when he passed to a teammate on the bench, we gave him a standing ovation. Good times...
Also, from what I can tell, Dwight Howard has like 2.5 offensive moves.
Felt like the playoffs in the Peake last night. Westbrook will never admit it, but he went HAM on Beverly from the opening minute. After the loose-ball scuffle it was on. The crowd was all over it. The Adams block on Howard leading to the Westbrook coast-to-coast euro-step on Harden was the beginning of the end. Then the Reaper showed up and it was done.

ooVoo™ New Plan
for Small Businesses Offers an Easy and Affordable Video Conferencing Solution with
Desktop Sharing, Pay as You Go, and International Phone Destinations
20, 2009
– Today, ooVoo unveiled the latest upgrade of its popular multi-point, cross-platform
video communication solution, Version 2.2 and a new business plan, designed to appeal
to business users looking for video conferencing solutions that offer high quality
video with key collaboration features such as desktop sharing. Other new features
include pay as you go options, international calling, and text chat history.
Addressing the needs of rapidly-expanding remote workforces and economic pressures
to limit travel expenditures, ooVoo's new plan for business brings affordable, real-time
communication solutions for video conferencing to the market, allowing multiple
people to meet on video at the same time, complemented by powerful business features
such as desktop sharing during video calls. Easy to download and set up, ooVoo only
requires a Web cam and broadband connection so customers can be video chatting in
minutes. ooVoo is building upon its strong consumer offering to deliver new and
existing business customers the highest video and audio quality at $39.95 a month.
ooVoo for business, which includes desktop sharing and offers discounts for multi-seat
purchases, is designed as an integrated video conferencing and collaboration solution
to help businesses increase productivity, cut costs and save time.
Users can experience ooVoo's crystal clear video calls without the commitment of
purchasing a package in the free 2-way video plan. Users can now add on additional
video windows (up to 6) per call when the need arises. The convenient pay-per-use
billing is also currently available for phone minutes to the US, Canada, Germany,
Italy, UK and Israel.
"ooVoo continuously strives to become the most affordable and dependable high quality,
easy-to-use internet-based video communication experience, whether at home or work,"
said Philippe Schwartz, CEO of ooVoo. "With our new business plan we've made our
services even more appealing to those looking for an alternative to expensive, high-tech
video conferencing services."
With desktop sharing, ooVoo business users can now provide their video conference
participants instant access to their presentations or documents while they continue
to converse face-to-face which all keeps business running smoothly. Like ooVoo for
consumers, business users can also share files, text chat, send video messages,
record conversations, experience high definition video quality and more. Unlike
systems tied to conference room set ups or high-tech equipment, business users --
whether in a remote hotel room, in an airport or working from a home office. ooVoo
goes anywhere to make sure work continues unhindered and quality face time with
important clients and partners never suffers. ooVoo promises no more stalled calls
and long silences as a participant fumbles to open up an email attachment.
To further enhance the ooVoo video conferencing experience the business plan eliminates
banner advertisements from all video conversations for plan purchasers and anyone
they invite to join a call. ooVoo's business plan, at $39.95 a month, costs a fraction
of the cost of just one business trip and allows unlimited video conferences with
up to six locations at one time – and up to twelve locations when an additional
six are conferenced in with the phone feature. With the ability to add seats to
a plan for a nominal fee, everyone in the office can be set up with their own ooVoo
user name to connect face-to-face with co-workers, distributed work teams and clients.
ooVoo remains the most robust cross platform multi-point internet-based video communication
solution. With more price flexibility and pay-as-you-go options, ooVoo offers incredible
value at an affordable price to consumers and businesses. Its popular Web Call Link
to video connect friends that haven't downloaded ooVoo and the ability to easily
embed video chat rooms into blogs or web sites, make ooVoo available to everyone,
anywhere in the world.
About ooVoo ooVoo provides a high-quality webcam video chat and communication
service that delivers a meaningful way for people to call and connect over the Internet.
ooVoo's technology enables people to experience a face-to-face conversation and
share a full range of emotions as if they are in the same room together, whether
they are across the street or across the globe. ooVoo's superior quality video and
audio are available to anyone with a computer, broadband connection and a web camera,
for real-time video calls with up to six friends, relatives and colleagues simultaneously.
ooVoo offers high-resolution video, video conversation recording, telephony, video
messaging, instant message chat and file sharing among other capabilities.
ooVoo is privately held and headquartered in New York, NY. You can learn more and
download free ooVoo software at http://www.ooVoo.com.

Survey: Do You Give Your Kids Chores?
And the even bigger question really- at what age do you start giving them chores? Do you think your toddler age 2-4 could help make the bed, take laundry to the laundry room, or dust with socks on their hands?
We found these suggestions for age-appropriate chores over at Chores Help Kids.com.
Share with us- what chores around the home have you found work well for your child?

I think it is harder to get an almost three year old to NOT do these things - if they see you doing them. My daughter insists on 'helping' with the laundry and dusting - giving her a part of it to do makes it easier for me.
I have a friend with an almost 3 year old (mine is still cookin' - be out in Jan!) and she has a "Chore chart" for him. His chores currently consist of things like "put shoes in closet" and "brush teeth am/pm" so that he's in the habit of picking up after himself and taking care of his own hygiene. All good habits but nothing the infringes on his enjoyment of childhood, in my opinion.
When I was young, chores were houshold activities outside of what affected myself. Making my bed and brushing my teeth where seen as the same thing. Taking out the trash was a chore. Its a part of life, just like a play kitchen.
Kids want to help with certain jobs, and that's normal. Mine likes to help, and I use it as a teaching moment. However, it's still all fun and exploration.
I think of chores as life skills my kids need to learn before they leave home... here is a list of chores our kids do as part of a series on chores we wrote a couple of weeks ago.
As a Montessori mom many of the practical life activities are based on household 'chores'. My son always helps with the laundry, started with matching the socks when he was about 18mths, when he could manage the pegs he started hanging the smaller items (great to strengthen pincer muscles too), now he hangs the small items, folds all his clothes and puts them away, sorts daddys undies/hankies and puts them away and folds all the napkins. He also helps with the cleaning, I try to use eco friendly products where possible so I don't worry about him messing near chemicals. Every morning he puts away all the dishes from the dishwasher. He also helps to dust and water/weed the garden. He will happily help out with any other jobs.
I don't force any of these jobs on him and he doesn't see them as chores, now, at 4 he understands that we all have a role to play in the family home, he sees me and daddy doing jobs and he wants to help too.
I actually enjoy laundry time because we end up having some great conversations while we hang and fold.
My daughter will be two next month, and we definitely have her help around the house (in a tiny sort of way). My favorite thing she does so far is to help with the laundry. We have a stackable front loading machine, so she unloads the washer and hands it up to me to put in the dryer. No bending!
Most of what we do is enjoyable to her, as the other posters said. She loves helping with cooking, wiping things down, etc. When we go out for coffee, I do insist on her helping to clean up the table after we're done just to get her in the habit of leaving a clean place. Too few grownups do that, so I can't count on her just learning it through observation.
Our almost 4 year old likes helping around the house, and i think it's great to get him in the habit early. He puts his dishes in the sink when he's finished, puts his shoes and laundry away when he's getting undressed, as well as helping switch the laundry as mentioned in a previous comment. He also knows that if he makes a mess, he cleans it (with help for some messes) and when he is done with a toy it goes away. He actually doesn't like messes and I think it's because he's use to cleaning up after himself. We figure as time goes by he will take on more of his own responsibilities; I don't believe in kids doing chores adults should be doing, but they should clean up after themselves
I've let the kids help in the kitchen since they were little. It started out with them always under my feet while I was working. I found giving them chores lowered my stress level. The payoff has been they have become little foodies!
I don't have children, but I remember being a child. This picture made me think of all the times when I was little that I did the dishes and was too short to do them with out standing on the chair (my mom of course was helping). I had a blast doing chores with my parents and really liked being included. I appreciate it today too, I think it makes me a better worker.
And being in the service industry I really appreciate what ksg said: "When we go out for coffee, I do insist on her helping to clean up the table after we're done just to get her in the habit of leaving a clean place. Too few grownups do that, so I can't count on her just learning it through observation." Just wanted to say thanks and wish more parents did the same with their children.
My daughter is 1.5 years, and she helps with things like putting her dirty (folded up) diaper in the bin after a change, hanging her clothes in the closet (with help), and putting her toys and books away. She seems to love doing all of it. They're not really chores, but rather just ways to let her feel involved. She seems quite proud of her ability to accomplish these tasks too. It's cute.
Please keep in mind that excluding your kids from helping around the house doesn't do them any favors. As a child, a close friend of mine was always shooed away when she tried to help her dad with yardwork. He wanted everything to be done a certain way and didn't want to take the time to teach her. Now, as an adult with a disabled husband and no extra money for professional yard care, she has to do everything on her own, and it's been tough for her, not having any of the skills she could have learned from her dad.
Just let them help. They want to be involved, it builds a sense of accomplishment, and it teaches them skills they will need someday in the adult world.

We are told to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). Embedded in this command is a metaphor. Unfortunately, many Christians today are uncomfortable with metaphor, thinking that if something is metaphorical, it is somehow not entirely truthful. Big mistake. Our point of reference for being filled with the Spirit is an actual physical […]

Saving Children in the DRC
Susana is 40 years old. She has four children and lives in a small community called Kachelewa, located in the lush landscapes of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Life here seems normal with everyone going about his or her business. The DRC is beautiful. Rolling hills dominate the landscape. Each hill is […]
Sponsored Child Sends Home the Gold
Is an Olympic athlete like a sponsored child? As the Winter Olympics are half way completed in Sochi, Russia – with athletes from all over the world vying for gold, silver, and bronze medals. These athletes represent not just themselves in the international arena – but also their home country, friends and family. I feel […]
Providing a Helping Hen in Bolivia
I have six eggs (and bacon) in my refrigerator right now, representing a quiche Lorraine in my near future. But to a family in Bolivia, eggs mean much more. Eggs are a great source of protein, so children can grow taller and stronger. Eggs mean they won't be too tired to pay attention in school, […]
Can Poverty Really Change?
Can Poverty like this Really be Changed? Ever feel like we'll never put a dent in the deep poverty that exists in our world today? In a place where government is dysfunctional, society is at war, formal jobs are scarce, natural disasters are pretty regular, disease is rampant, basic roads and schools barely exist, and so on […]
Be Near God's Heart
Do you ever wonder why you route for the under-dog? There is something in us that wants people – with the odds stacked against them – to win. I believe that is the image of God expressing Himself through us. People with odds stacked against them are near to God's heart; the poor, the oppressed, […]
Seeing Romans 8 on Mission Trips
Circumstances and experiences – like mission trips – mold us. Other influences are our behavior, education, and genetics – all creating our personality—but the circumstances of our lives really send lessons home in our hearts and minds. I recently learned again how the work at FH ministers to others. I was sitting in church last […]
Former Sponsored Child on a Mission
Whenever I go on a mission trip with Food for the Hungry (FH), most of the people I meet are surprised to learn that I live in America. When I say I'm a U.S. citizen, they chuckle or give me a confused look. I can understand why. I grew up in a small city in […]
Sending Gifts to Your Sponsored Child
Writing letters to your sponsored child can give them the extra encouragement they need to persevere. After a few letters, many times sponsors find themselves wanting to send more to their sponsored child than just a letter or a card, especially on special occasions like birthdays, Easter and Christmas. When I started at Food for […]
Meeting Moms in the Hills of Bolivia
On February 7 and 8, I'll have the honor to join women (many moms) from across the country at the IF: Gathering. The name of this gathering comes from a simple question: "If God is real, then what?" Many of us will meet in Austin, Texas, but many others will be at simulcast host sites […]

Miami vs Central Michigan: MAC Championship Game Thread
12/1/07 in NCAAF | CriticalFanatic | respect
We're going to try something a little different today with it being the last day of the year for college football -- we'll have a separate game thread up for all the big games ... and this MAC Championship because, well, I care. I'll have an Army-Navy thread up as well because if you don't love that game I don't know what you love.
Miami vs Central Michigan at Ford Field. The winner of this game gets the grand honor of returning to the same field in three weeks. Woo! For Miami a bowl bid is no longer guaranteed because they tripped over themselves against rival Ohio last weekend.
The Chippewas likely have the most underrated, or underhyped quarterback in college football. Most of you probably remember him as a true freshman running and passing through the Boston College defense in the first game of last season. He's not exactly Tim Tebow, but he does have 22 TD's passing and 15 rushing.
Miami has been hard to figure out all season and honestly I'm still surprised they're here. Potentially great defense, potentially explosive offense but mostly injured.
So by chance you're also watching this game, feel free to Q it up with me here.

Things weren't at all pretty for the Chicago Bulls at the start of Friday night's 106-98 home win over the Detroit Pistons, but they turned it around in the second half to seal the victory.
The Bulls' scoring struggles really showed in the first quarter. With only 5:25 left in the period, Chicago had only scored seven points. Not only were shots not falling, but, at that point, the Bulls had already accumulated five turnovers. Those turnovers then allowed for five points for the Pistons.
D.J. Augustin checked into the game about two minutes earlier than usual in an attempt to get the offense going, but it wasn't of much help. Though he was able to make a three before the quarter concluded to cut Chicago's deficit to 28-17.
Things didn't improve in the second quarter either. Instead, the Pistons' lead slowly grew while the Bulls continued their offensive struggles. Along with that, Chicago's defense wasn't quite what fans have come to expect.
By halftime, the Bulls trailed the Pistons 51-38 and shot 38.1 percent from the field compared to the 51.1 percent they gave up. Their rebounding wasn't up to par either as their 17 first half rebounds were outdone by just Andre Drummond's 19 rebounds. Detroit, as a whole, had 31 total rebounds.
The second half, though, was a completely different story.
Chicago's aggression was clearly evident in the third quarter. The trio of Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy and Kirk Hinrich all got going on the offensive end. Their contributions were a main factor in beginning the Bulls' comeback. In fact, 30 of the 32 third quarter points came from those three alone. The remaining two were from Jimmy Butler and came right at the end of the period.
The Bulls also stepped up their defense. In the third quarter, the Pistons were held to 24 points. This was Detroit's lowest point total for a quarter up to that point. Their scoring continued to decrease from there, as the Pistons only put together 18 more points in the game.
Despite the offensive resurgence Chicago faced in the third quarter, Detroit still owned the lead as the final quarter came around. The Bulls did, however, have all of the momentum going into it.
Butler scored on the first possession of the period with a jumper to bring his team within eight points of a tie. Dunleavy followed up with a three. Then, Taj Gibson's pair of free throws further cut the lead, 83-77.
Chicago finally stole the lead at the 7:28 mark of the quarter when Butler scored a layup. This brought the score to 85-83, and the Bulls never looked back. They remained aggressive on both ends of the court to transform a small lead into a double-digit one.
After being under 40 percent shooting in the first half, Chicago increased it by nearly 11 percent at 49.4 percent while Detroit's shooting fell to 46.5 percent.
Augustin led the Bulls, now 47-32, with 24 points, six assists, four rebounds and one assist. Boozer contributed 18 points and seven rebounds while Gibson followed with 17 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Up next on Chicago's schedule is a 6:30 p.m. central matchup against the New York Knicks on Sunday.
