I keep a supply of Chinese finger traps in my office to show to patients. When you push your fingers into each end of these straw tubes and then try to remove them, the tube diameter shrinks and grabs the digits firmly. The more you struggle, the more your fingers are trapped. The only way to create enough room to get your fingers back out is to do something counterintuitive: push them deeper into the tube, which only then relaxes its grip.
These toys demonstrate a basic principle about why so many of the issues people bring into therapy seem insoluble, despite determined and well-intentioned efforts to deal with them: fighting a problem can itself create a problem. I remember giving one of these finger traps to an especially anxious client and watching as he practically pulled his fingers out of their sockets in his frantic attempt to get them free. Suddenly, abandoning his struggle with the toy, he let his hands relax. Okay, he said knowingly, I get it. He pushed the ends of the tubes inward and then removed his fingers easily. I knew he meant more than understanding how the toy worked, though. He saw in that moment a model of how his battle with anxiety had constricted his life, and that the strange alternative I was putting on the table might not be so strange after all: only by moving into his pain could he ever find the room to live fully.
A moment or two after this small epiphany, he surprised me by voicing an even deeper issue. As if…

Unfortunately, this was a terrible experience. I arrived at the hotel at 10:30pm, after the Tech football game. I was assigned a smoking room, despite the reservation for a nonsmoking room and a confirmation at 8:05am on the same day. When I requested a change, I was told that there were no rooms available. After confirming with my party that the room was unacceptable, I returned to the front desk and was given a room key to another room. When I used this key, I opened the door to an occupied room. I demanded a refund because we were leaving the property for a different hotel and was told that I couldn't get one immediately because I had booked through Expedia (I booked through hotels.com.).
quick, easy, and relaxing
The lady working the front desk was polite. The room was big enough and looked like the bedding had recently been updated. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner and the shower head didn't work very well. There was also some mold on the ceiling above the shower and noticed there was a lot of condensation in the bathroom when we showered. Beds were comfortable.
My stay was ok. I dont like that fact that I had to clean my own shower and soap holder before I could shower. Half bottle of shampoo in soap holder that was covered with soap scum. Other than that and the fact that the coffee pot that they had on the coffee machine was incorrect size and spilled everywhere. The room was nicely sized and for the price it was ok. I needed something close to Louisiana Tech and this was perfect. The fact that there was a fridge and microwave was great.

We thought it might be fun to explore some of the parts of Venice we had not seen as yet. Using the excellent ferry system, we sailed over to Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore.

Enjoying Relaxing in Venice
As I haven't been feeling well the last few days, we had a leisurely breakfast before we headed out for a slower paced day. Tricia and the family went to Burano, which is a lovely island well to the north of Venice, and Jude and I got on the Vaporetto and headed in the direction of the Rialto bridge. On the way we decided to go a couple of extra …

Our merry group of 4 enthusiastic adventurers has now increased to 6 with the arrival of Nathan and his partner Emma. Tricia's only son is living in England and they were able to join us. We decided we would catch a ferry over to Murano, one of the outer islands, and famous for it's glass objects. We visited the very good museum there and saw …

I really like this air intake. It did require the crank case vent line be cut about 1-2 inches on my vehicle (it kinks at the bend otherwise). Not a big deal to cut that hose though. Much better than the stock part.

Eyptian author Tarek Osman explores the events which converged and led to the rise of Islamism from the 1970s onwards, a force which came to fill the vacuum left by Arab Nationalism. He investigates the reasons for the re-emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood, the influence of the conservative, oil-rich Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, and the three pivotal events in 1979 which boosted Islamism.

This could well be the same. The one I caught wasn't so brown, but the size and general shape is right. Wish I could see the belly. The one I caught was completely white underneath. They would have plenty of cover in the river bottom below the house, especially along the river bank and a major tributary gully directly at the bottom of my yard. I'm forever cleaning brush, but it's all done by hand. More than one or two lifetimes of work. My observation of damage being less to non-existent when fall conditions contribute to having green winter vegetation is probably my best hope. None of that this year, for sure.

Recent reviews
Good 3.9 /5 from 106 reviews
I made really late reservation and it went through hotels.com And I tried to check-in. Hotel check in was closed and they said they don't have rooms. So I had to go other place at 11pm. Guess what they charged on my credit card more than 200 dollars. What a great place? Be honest folks.
It was perfect! Great location, great people, everything in walking distance. We will be back!
This was our worst experience during our Europe tour by far. We had a late flight into Florence which we had emailed the staff about several times before we came in and the staff said that they would be there (you just ring a bell to let them know), but they were not when we arrived even though we arrived when we told them we would-- to be fair, two minutes beforehand which they later told/screamed at us was unacceptable. Also by late I mean we were at the hotel by 10 PM. We rang for a long time downstairs, a friendly couple let us in the building, we knocked on the hotels front door for a long time, a disgruntled guest let us in, we tried contacting the emergency number but could not figure out how to call it using their phone as it was our first time in Italy. We found a key to get into our room and later that night when we stumbled into the main keeper of the hotel she yelled at us about how we were expected to be at the front EXACTLY at 10 (whereas we were banging on the door outside the hotel building from 9:50 to 9:58 which is when someone just let us in, non hotel staff). The room was EXPENSIVE and the breakfast barely had anything unless you consider one small coffee and yogurt worth a lot of money. Hotel Berna was close to the sights, but everything in Florence is relatively close to each other. The room was very nice, but definitely, definitely not worth it.
we stayed here for only one night and are highly satisfied. The room is clean and spacious, the breakfast is wonderful with variety of options. The location is superb, with the train station around corner. Great value!
We stayed two nights. This is a bed and breakfast place, conveniently located in the heart of the city. Railway station is in the walking distance. Staff is available only during day time. However, they were very courteous. Place is small. Breakfast is good but limited selection. Overall, we enjoyed our short stay.

This beautiful Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions presents James Audubon's The Birds of America in all its radiant splendor. The most famous book about North American birds appears here in an affordable version with exquisite color reproductions that truly do it justice.
Birds of America (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions)by Audubon James John, David Allen Sibley (Introduction)
John James Audubon's paintings and descriptions of the birds of North America remain the gold standard against which all ornithological portraits are judged. His landmark work, Birds of America (1838), consisted of 435 life-size prints that were published in batches of five over the course of thirteen years. Because the prints were extremely large and had to be hand-colored by a team of painters, the cost of creating the original sets was exorbitant. Today, complete copies are rare—the last to be sold commanded approximately $11.5 million in a December 2010 auction, making it the most expensive book ever.
The exquisitely preserved, complete set of prints from which this slip-cased facsimile edition was created is part of the permanent collection of the Natural History Museum of London. The images were captured using state-of-the-art digital scanning techniques to preserve the intricate detail and vibrant colors of Audubon's original work. It's a stunning book—and a reminder to us of the importance of preserving these lovely creatures and their natural habitats.

This volume is tremendous in print quality and color. Printed on non-glossy paper (as was the original Double Elephant Folio) it is the best modern edition that I have seen. The ink colors are deep and rich--like Audubon's original work. It is true to the original print order of the DEF Havell Edition and sizes the prints as best as is possible to maximize the image size on paper. The binding seems to be of a good quality. The book's cover and slip case are covered with heavy cloth. Clearly, however, only time will tell regarding how well this edition will stand-up to use (at the time of this review the volume was published only four months ago). The Natural History Museum was clearly interested in publishing a high quality set of Audubon prints. If you are interested in studying Audubon's work this is the book. I would have liked to see some statement in the book regarding the paper quality in regards to acid content and archival quality. I have quite a few books that have yellowed in my lifetime. Hopefully this one will not.

Gingerbread Mission
By Nolan and Elie
|Photo by Mrs. Yollis
One day, Elie was at Nolan's house when they saw the mailman. "I'll get the mail." announced Nolan.
Strolling to the box, he popped open the lid, and saw a flyer for something. The flyer read: "Come to the Gingerbread baking competition! It will be a blast! It is at Marcus Hall on Peach Street at 2:00 P.M. It is on Sunday, June 18th."
It was Saturday, June 17th. There was no time to waste. Nolan rushed in the house while waving the flyer.
"We should really enter this!" Elie said while reading it. "We are some of the best bakers in town!"
That was true. One time Elie and Nolan entered a cookie baking competition, and the judges were blown away by their creations. They won by using a secret ingredient. The boys were going to use that ingredient for the gingerbread house. They were confident.
"We should start baking right now!" Nolan exclaimed. So, they started planning.
They got a ride to Buck's Market from Nolan's mom. At the store, they got the ingredients. Plus Nolan's mom got some groceries. Back at Nolan's house, they started baking. Gingerbread and frosting went flying as they baked and baked. Then they put in the secret ingredient. After an hour, Elie said, "I'm tired."
"Good," said Nolan. "because we are done!"
"Great! But it will melt if we don't put it in the refrigerator," Elie noted.
"Right!" concured Nolan.
They put the gingerbread house in the refrigerator and they went away. Elie was sleeping over, so they got their sleeping bags unrolled and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, they were very excited. It was Sunday, June 18th, and it was time to go to the competition. They went to the refrigerator. Then it happened, and they saw it...

Skip to comments.Obama Spokesman on Rodeo Clown: Not One of the Finer Moments for Missouri
Posted on 08/14/2013 4:23:46 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
A spokesperson for President Barack Obama and the White House has weighed in on the Missouri rodeo clown who ignited a firestorm of controversy when he wore an Obama mask and taunted a bull to attack him. While the president has not offered his thoughts on the controversy, a White House spokesperson who is also a Missouri native said the incident was certainly not one of the finer moments in our state.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters that he could not offer them Obamas personal thoughts on the rodeo clown. The president is currently vacationing with his family on Marthas Vineyard. He did, however, express his personal regrets about how the incident reflects negatively on his home state.
The rodeo clown and the organization that hired him have apologized for the incident. The president of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association has resigned and the clown has been banned for life from performing at the state fair. A number of state officials have condemned the clown and the NAACP has called for a full investigation into the incident.
This is exactly the opposite of what Obama (the divider) should have said. He should have said this a great moment in the American tradition of free speech. Then he should have invited the guy to the White House.
Beer summit?
Usually in that order works out best for most.
They also put a Bush dummy out there and the bull demolished it. Bush probably thought it was funny.
Obama and his people take obama WAY too seriously.
Too bad someone like Leno doesn't have the balls to say this.
Repeat it or something similar on every thread regarding he clown and one of them will surely pick it up. /s
Well... it would take grace.
If he refuses grace, then he has none. But God never quit being a willing source of it. It's Barack's choice to make.
Well to watch it would either be amusing (if Barack remains obdurate) or amazing (if Barack finds it to be gracious).
There was a man on Fox tonight ( Black) talking about this and he made an excellent point. He said that there is so much going on right now for Obama, his poll numbers are at an all time low, all the so-called phony scandals, and problems with Obamacare and the Democrat need this clown act to arouse sympathy for Obama and rally the base, especially the Black voters.
Did you hear that the Muslims are calling for a Million Muslim March in DC on 9/11? They are demanding recognition as an aggrieved group and want civil rights protection from the federal government. This should be interesting.
True, but it looks like he's made his choice. Not to say the Lord can't still bring him around, but based on what apparently is his belief system (or lack thereof!) I'm not holding my breath that will happen.
Well, breath holding is of no use.
Doing what you can to pray forth the Wind of Heaven is a lot of use. Even if it fails! Because if it fails it is still a useful drill.

In its April 2014 report, GAO found that schedules were delayed and costs increased for the majority of the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) leased outpatient projects reviewed.

GAO-15-648T: Published: Jun 10, 2015. Publicly Released: Jun 10, 2015.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) policy states that antidepressant treatment must be consistent with VA's current clinical practice guideline (CPG) for major depressive disorder (MDD); however, GAO's recent review of 30 veterans' medical records found that most contained deviations. For example, although the CPG recommends that veterans' depressive symptoms be assessed at 4-6 weeks after initia...

Day 1: I will go to Boston
So picture me, Silvaney, if you will. I want you to see me plain. It is spring and skittery sunshiny day, I stand on the river bridge already missing my sweetie whose gone to the war, the river spews and boils like Genevas coffee, the wind blows hard and a bugle call comes across the river from the Army camp. I wear a dead womans pretty locket, I am free to come and go as I please. I will go to Boston and see what there is to see. Yet always I will be bound to you my love and my heart and I will come back for you one day soon and take you back to the mountain.

You're welcome. Thank you for missing my blog, and for your generous assumption that I might be busy on my novel. Said novel, which is really a great big pile of disjointed scenes plus twenty pages of a real draft, and I are estranged at the moment, my fault of course. In a burst of general cussedness, I've snubbed the blogs as well. But since you've noticed the absence...Thanks for an amazingly pleasant kick in the pants.

This is a competing continuation application for the Community Vulnerability and Responses to Drug-User- Related HIV/AIDS study of why large US metropolitan areas vary over time in their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS among drug users and in their responses-i.e., in policies and programs that may affect the epidemic. Drug use and HIV epidemics change over time. In the last funding period, we showed that HIV prevalence in the 96 largest US metropolitan areas declined among injection drug users (IDUs) from 1992 to 2002, and that the population prevalence of IDUs declined in these areas from 1992 to 2000, but then began to rise again. We also showed that metropolitan areas varied in these trajectories, and that a variety of social and policy forces shaped IDU prevalence, racial disparities in IDU prevalence, HIV prevalence among IDUs, racial disparities in AIDS prevalence among IDUs, drug abuse treatment coverage, and syringe exchange access and coverage. Ominously, our recent analyses indicate that the prevalence of IDUs among youth (aged 15 - 29) has begun to rise. Further, as others have shown, HIV has spread widely among NIDUs (non-injecting users of heroin, cocaine, crack, amphetamines or methamphetamine) in some metropolitan areas. These changes are occurring against the backdrop of an economy that has recently shifted from slow to rapid decline, a shift that will lead to great difficulty in maintaining, let alone expanding, services for drug users. Therefore, the Specific Aims of this proposed continuation are: 1. To describe trends, in the 96 largest US metropolitan areas from 1992 - 2012, in (a) critical epidemiologic outcomes (population prevalence of IDUs and NIDUs, and particularly their prevalence among youth;and, among IDUs, HIV prevalence, late-diagnosis HIV cases, and AIDS incidence and mortality) as well as in (b) the implementation of evidence-based drug- related interventions (drug abuse treatment, syringe exchange, HIV counseling and testing) and (c) non- evidence-based drug-related interventions (incarceration and arrests of drug users). 2. To understand how macro-social contexts (e.g., economic changes, social integration, racial residential segregation) and epidemiologic need affect interventions;how interventions and macro-social contexts together affect epidemiologic contexts;how some interventions (e.g., arrests, incarceration) affect others (e.g., syringe exchange coverage);and how some epidemiologic outcomes (e.g., prevalence of young IDUs) affect others (e.g., HIV prevalence). 3. To develop an integrated theory, using agent based modeling, of how these processes interact and thus what the impacts of various intervention mixes are likely to be in given social contexts. 4. To disseminate estimates, results and theoretical understandings to public health agencies and continue to advise them on how they might respond.
This project will estimate changes in injection and non-injection drug use, in HIV, AIDS and AIDS mortality rates among injection drug users, and in drug- and HIV-related interventions among drug users, in 96 large metropolitan areas over a 21-year period (1992 - 2012). We will investigate how these epidemics and interventions affect one another, and how macro-contextual factors like economic and social conditions shape them both. We will identify metropolitan areas in which serious drug use, HIV or AIDS epidemics are emerging, and offer state and local health departments and drug agencies the best information available on policies and programs that might reduce these epidemics. Our findings will also help national public health agencies, including the CDC and SAMHSA, and other researchers, plan a mixture of evidence-based programs and policies to reduce the forces that lead to high-risk drug use and the associated HIV and AIDS epidemics.

Poetry at Girton
The Girton Poetry Group meets occasionally in termtime, after dinner, over wine. A theme, quotation, and/or poetic form are are suggested a few days in advance of each meeting, and people are invited to submit anonymously one or more poems, inspired in some way by the suggestions.
At the meeting, copies of the poems are handed round and read aloud (since authorship is not known at this point, reader is not normally author). The poems are then discussed. At the end of the evening, those present may declare authorship, or may remain anonymous.
About this site
This site contains a selection of the poems presented to the group since 2005. Poems may have been modified after the meeting, and authors may again have chosen to remain anonymous.
Poems are accessible through the indexes listed at the top of the page: conventional author, title and first-line indexes, and an Index of Themes, which gives the theme/form as suggested, and the poems written in response to it. As well as the usual html format for browsers, poems are also provided in a pdf format, which may print better.
Communications about the Girton Poetry Group or the Not Averse site may in the first instance be addressed to Stephen Robertson.

Swiss Cantonal Bank Shares Fall as U.S. Tax Deal LoomsCatherine Bosley and Corinne Gretler
Shares in Swiss cantonal banks plummeted on anticipation parliament will approve a bill that would allow Swiss banks to cooperate with U.S. authorities in their bid to catch tax evaders.
Basler Kantonalbank stock declined 8.7 percent, the most since at least 1989, to 86.75 francs at 2:41 p.m. in Zurich. Fellow regional lender St. Galler Kantonalbank was down 3.8 percent at 359.25 francs, its lowest intraday level since Oct. 10, while Banque Cantonale Vaudoise declined 3 percent to 483.25 francs.
The economics committee of the Swiss parliament's upper house meets today for an initial closed-door hearing on the plan, the details of which have not been made public. Both houses are due to debate the measure in the current session, which runs through June 21.
"The U.S. is putting a lot of pressure on Switzerland, as they want the cantonal banks to be treated the same way as the other Swiss banks," said John Plassard, who helps oversee $28 billion as vice president at Mirabaud Securities LLP in Geneva. "Investors are nervous."
Switzerland has been in talks with the U.S. for more than two years to resolve a Justice Department investigation of at least 14 financial institutions, including Basler Kantonalbank, that allegedly helped Americans hide money from the Internal Revenue Service. An agreement could lead to total fines of as much as 10 billion Swiss francs ($10.4 billion), the Tages-Anzeiger reported.

Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids46
Project Description
Good morning,
I'm looking for individuals or businesses that have a reliable, strong backlink network that would be particularly effective in Mexico. Ostensibly that means getting backlinks from authoritative .mx domains, but I'm only just venturing into the Mexico sphere. It's quite possible that high-quality backlinks from .com and other US domains are just as good.
If anything, the advice of an expert will be a great help. I'm trying to attack the Mexican market but I don't think I have a good enough backlink network.

|1 1⁄2 Cup (24 tbs)
|Lean ground lamb/Lean ground beef
|2 Pound
|1 Small, minced
|Hot red pepper

To prepare the filling, place the meat in a heavy pan over medium heat and saute for about fifteen minutes, breaking up the pieces with a wooden spoon.
Add the onions and cook ten minutes more.
Stir in the pine nuts and cook five minutes longer.

Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl soak the bulgur with one cup of the water for about fifteen to twenty minutes.
Mix in the meat, onion, salt and red pepper.
Knead very well by hand, adding half cup more of the water as you knead.
In all, knead about ten to fifteen minutes until mixture is smooth and pastelike.
Spread half of the mixture in a buttered 9-inch square baking dish, pressing the kufte down with moistened hands to form an even layer.
Cover with the meat filling.
Flatten small portions of the remaining raw meat mixture between your hands and place them over the filling.
Dip your hands in cold water and press down to even the surface and to blend the edges together smoothly.
Cut the kuf- te into diamond shapes.
Dot with butter.
Bake at 400 degrees about twenty-five minutes.
Serve hot with fresh tomato and cucumber salad.

Hi All,
I didn't want to bring up what Andrew had the guts to do: Many of those
"beautiful" cultivars are lousy growers, wimps, and a few other
unmentionable things.
Here in Tucker, Zone 7a - 1188 feet AMSL, 84-12'-30" West_33-51' North with
dry summers and late freezes and a few other nasty weather problems, the
very best hostas are the seedling ones I dig up in the middle of a path,
mostly all green. Usually, for a few years they have survived getting
stepped on (a lot), get no fertilizer, get no extra water, grow in dense
Georgia red clay, and bear all kinds of harsh events with aplomb. If it
makes it through five years of such brutality, it gets moved to one of the
woodland spots where it usually thrives even more. Yes, Andrew is right,
soil is important in cultivating any plant, but the most important thing is
the genetic make-up of a hosta cultivar. To a hosta seedling with H.
longipes in its background, soil doesn't seem to matter much. They grow on
rocks back home and get splashed with a lot of water. Unfortunately, very
few of the "fancy" cultivars have that kind of background and croak under
most conditions. So, Andrew is right, pick good genes (for your growing
area, soil, climate - i.e., research their parental background - that is why
parental info is so important as Andrew pointed out in a prior e-mail re
registration). With good genes the plants will take care of themselves, well
Few of us can afford to kill a plant three times before they give up (to
paraphrase Tony Avent) and at 50 bucks per that wastes a lot of money. If I
want a good garden hosta I go find that unknown, trampled seedling that
refuses to give up and I will have a hosta that will be a good garden plant,
or, I make my own hybrids using parents that have great survival genes.
After all, hostas are supposed to be the best "low-maintenance" plant for
shady gardens. I have had it with hostas that just won't grow, melt out,
burn out, or get necrotic margins in early spring. Those trampled seedlings
not only have stamina but they possess a beauty all of their own. George

"Key senior" has become an oxymoron in college basketball, mainly because there just aren't that many.
As everyone who follows the sport knows, players bolt to the NBA as soon as they think they're a first-round pick. Not many hang around college campuses for four years; indeed, just one senior, North Carolina center Tyler Zeller, is projected as a lottery pick this year, and no more than five seniors are expected to go in the first round.
Still, there are some players who will be key seniors next season, just as Zeller and Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor were this past season.
Today, we unveil our All-Senior preseason team for 2012-13. This isn't necessarily the 12 best seniors; instead, we look for a nice mix of frontcourt and backcourt players and pick a starting five that actually could be on the floor together.
There is a deep crop of senior guards for next season, making it difficult to decide who made the cut. That wasn't the case with the big men. There really aren't that many big-time big men who hang around for four years.
[Related: Should Kentucky worry about the NCAA's investigation of Nerlens Noel?]
Later this week, we'll unveil our All-Junior, All-Sophomore and All-Freshman teams.
|The starters
| C Jeff Withey, Kansas
Key 2011-12 stats: 24.6 mpg, 8.7 ppg, 54.0 FG%, 5.9 rpg, 3.5 bpg
Buzz: The 7-footer will be one of the few true centers playing in a major conference next season. He's not that big an offensive threat, but you still can expect his point total to increase with the loss of F Thomas Robinson to the NBA. His rebounding total should increase, too. His defensive presence is the key, though. He will be one of the nation's best shot-blockers next season.
| F Trevor Mbakwe, Minnesota
Key 2011-12 stats: Injured (30.9 mpg, 13.9 ppg, 58.2 FG%, 10.9 rpg and 1.5 bpg in 2010-11)
Buzz: Had Mbakwe been healthy this past season, the Golden Gophers might have been able to sneak into the NCAA tourney. As it was, he played just seven games before suffering an ACL tear. Mbakwe's return makes Minnesota a Big Ten darkhorse next season. He is tough to handle in the low post and is relentless on the boards. If he ever develops a consistent 15-foot jumper, he would average 20 points per game.
| G Isaiah Canaan, Murray State
Key 2011-12 stats: 33.7 mpg, 19.0 ppg, 45.6 3-pt FG%, 83.7 FT%, 3.6 apg, 3.5 rpg, 1.4 spg
Buzz: Canaan was the guy who made Murray State go. He stuffed the stat sheet for the Racers, and his quickness makes him a handful for every opposing guard. He has great range and shot extremely well from beyond the arc. Murray State lost some key players and won't be as good next season as it was this past season, but Canaan's presence means the Racers again will be the team to beat in the Ohio Valley Conference.
| PG Pierre Jackson, Baylor
Key 2011-12 stats: 30.8 mpg, 13.8 ppg, 40.8 3-pt FG%, 82.2 FT%, 5.9 apg, 1.8 spg
Buzz: Jackson was arguably Baylor's most important player this past season, his first with the Bears after transferring in from the College of Southern Idaho. He handled point guard duties with aplomb and became the Bears' leading scorer in the process. He is extremely quick with the ball, and also puts his speed to good use on defense. Baylor was a frontcourt-oriented team this past season; next season, Jackson's presence means they will be a backcourt-centric squad.
| G Rodney McGruder, Kansas State
Key 2011-12 stats: 32.9 mpg, 15.8 ppg, 38.5 3-pt FG%, 80.2 FT% 5.2 rpg, 1.2 spg
Buzz: McGruder was the Wildcats' second offensive option in 2010-11, but moved easily into the go-to role last season. He's a physical guard – witness his rebound total – who can get into the lane and score, but he also has a nice outside stroke. He was the only Wildcat to average in double figures this past season and should be a leading contender for the Big 12 player of the year award next season.
|The bench
| F Jack Cooley, Notre Dame
Key 2011-12 stats: 28.5 mpg, 12.4 ppg, 62.4 FG%, 8.9 rpg, 1.6 bpg
Buzz: The physical Cooley was one of the most productive big men in the Big East this past season. He made a quantum leap from a minor reserve to key starter. Cooley had six 20-point games last season. He also showed nice timing on defense with his shot-blocking ability; he had seven games with at least three blocks.
| F Alex Oriakhi, Missouri
Key 2011-12 stats: (at Connecticut) 21.5 mpg, 6.7 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 1.3 bpg
Buzz: After playing a key role on UConn's national title team in 2010-11, Oriakhi had a disappointing junior season with the Huskies. He and touted freshman Andre Drummond never seemed to mesh. Oriakhi is finishing up his career at Missouri, and because UConn is banned from postseason play next season, Oriakhi will be eligible immediately. He and Laurence Bowers, who missed this past season with a knee injury, should form a nice frontcourt duo for a Mizzou team that lacked big men this past season.
| SG Kenny Boynton, Florida
Key 2011-12 stats: 31.6 mpg, 15.9 ppg, 40.7 3-pt FG%, 2.7 apg
Buzz: Boynton led the Gators in scoring and showed off his stroke from 3-point range. Defense has been a constant for Boynton during his Gators career, and his offense finally caught up last season. He should become an even more important scorer as a senior because of the loss of starting Gs Bradley Beal and Erving Walker.
| PG Vincent Council, Providence
Key 2011-12 stats: 38.7 mpg, 15.9 ppg, 7.5 apg, 4.1 rpg, 1.3 spg
Buzz: It's too bad Council doesn't play for a more celebrated program; he has put up big numbers in relative anonymity for the Friars. He has taken on too big an offensive load (and played too many minutes), but that should change next season because of Providence's celebrated freshman class. While his point total will drop next season, his assist total almost certainly will rise because he will be playing with a better supporting cast. And for a guy who is 6 feet 2 and 180 pounds, he is tough on the boards.
| PG Matt Dellavedova, Saint Mary's
Key 2011-12 stats: 37.5 mpg, 15.5 ppg, 85.7 FT%, 6.4 apg
Buzz: Dellavedova, an Australian, will be a four-year starter for the Gaels. He holds school records for 3-pointers and assists, and is a career 37.7 percent shooter from beyond the arc. He puts his size (6-4/190) to good use on both ends of the court. He is able to post up smaller defenders and is an effective defender because of quick hands and long arms.
| SG Kevin Foster, Santa Clara
Key 2011-12 stats: 31.6 mpg, 17.8 ppg, 38.6 3-pt FG%, 3.2 apg, 3.1 rpg, 1.4 spg
BUZZ: Foster played in just 18 games this past season before being suspended after a DUI arrest. He led the West Coast Conference in scoring in 2010-11 (20.2 ppg), when he helped the Broncos to the CIT title. Foster missed most of the 2009-10 season with a foot injury, then returned to hit 140 3-pointers, which is ninth on the NCAA's all-time single-season list. As a freshman in 2008-09, he broke Kurt Rambis' school record for points in a season by a freshman and broke Steve Nash's school record for 3-pointers in a season. He has 307 3-pointers in his career.
| SG C.J. McCollum, Lehigh
Key 2011-12 stats: 33.7 mpg, 21.9 ppg, 81.1 FT%, 3.5 apg, 6.5 rpg, 2.6 spg
Buzz: McCollum does it all for the Mountain Hawks and was a major reason they beat Duke in the NCAA tourney; indeed, he was the best player on the court in that upset. He has a career average of 20.9 points per game and has 14 career 30-point games. McCollum has scored in double figures in 53 of his past 54 games; in the one game he didn't, he played only 15 minutes against a Division III team.

Over the past few years, greater numbers of people have considered taking a skiing holiday. Whether it's the rush of adrenaline that follows the thrill of zooming down a hill with two bits of wood strapped to our feet or because it is something completely different from sunbathing on a beach, is unclear but regardless, the holidays remain very popular.
For any trip, there are a lot of things to consider within the cost such as getting to whichever of the ski resorts you have booked into, the cost of accommodation, weekly or fortnightly passes for the ski lifts and slopes, plus the cost of hiring equipment. Then there are other additional costs, such as feeding yourself and family or friends three times a day for the duration of your stay.
It may appear that skiing is a very costly holiday, but do not despair just yet. There are ways of cutting the cost of any skiing trip and if you know where to look then it is possible for you to book a good value ski trip this summer.
Firstly, when you are deciding to choose your holiday destination, you must think about the dates long and hard. Try to avoid dates that are very popular and expensive; such as the summer holidays, Easter weekend and Christmas as company's prices increase rapidly. Although this can be difficult for families with children, to ski cheaply in the summer, try to pick dates during term times to avoid the higher prices.
When you are looking for a company to book with, keeps your eyes peeled for possible deals, discounts or offers available. Some companies may offer packages that include free weekly ski slope passes, especially if you can find dates that suit you during the less popular summer skiing season.
Next tip; balance the option of France ski holidays with other great venues. France is one of the most popular destinations for summer skiing, especially areas around Tignes, Val D'Isere and Alpe d'Huez. Opting for the less popular areas, such as the Stubai Glacier around Innsbruck in Austria, can often prove to be a cheaper option.
Summer skiing is also available in Courmayeur, Bormio, Madesimo and Santa Catarina in Italy at reasonable prices. Skiing enthusiasts from the UK also head to Switzerland with Zermatt, Saas Fee and Verbier being popular destinations.
Another tip to save costs, wherever you stay is to find cheap local accommodation. Try staying in lesser-known resorts as they are often cheaper and a cosy hotel room is often less than half the price of hiring a ski chalet.
It may be possible to save money by driving to your destination. Although the rising cost of petrol, compared to the reduced rates offered by budget airlines means this is not as cheap an option as it once was. An advantage of driving, however, is that there is the chance of stumbling upon one of the many villages that has their own lift up the mountains, so if there is snow about, you could do a spot of skiing or snowboarding without having to stay in a resort.
It is also possible to self-cater when you go on skiing holidays, which is usually a much cheaper option than paying for hotel breakfasts and restaurants meals every day.
If you do choose to fly however, make sure you research your flight company well because although cheap flight companies may look appealing because of thecheap transit, they may fail to let you know they charge extra for stowing baggage below (you are allowed one 10 kg carry-on bag), and some may charge more for skis. Swiss Airlines however, will allow you to take skis onto their planes free of charge.
Sometimes it can be a good idea to wait until a couple of weeks before your holiday to book because a lot of companies offer some great last-minute ski deals that could end up saving you a significant amount of money.Reuse content

- Make the shotgun a weapon to pick up.
- Matches are laggy as hell.
- Matchmaking takes too long
- Sometimes you'll match with four players on your team instead of five.
- Scorcher is weaker then the Lancer, even on an active reload.
- The radius of the Boom Shot is HUMONGUS! Try to fucking dodge a rocket. I dare you.
- Smoke grenades knock down people, and everyone starts out with one of these grenades. People will spam them, and it will be a fucking annoyance.
- There's still bullet lag.
- Chainsaw is over powered, and the only negative is that an enemy could get behind you when you're chainsawing. STUPID!
- Chainsaw duals are based on luck more then skill.
- You'll still get stuck on objects.

If Epic wants me to go back, they better fix this shit. I payed $60 on this game and I want my God damn money back. All of the things that I thought would be fixed in GeoW1 are still existing, and to make it even worse, there are even more problems.
