Monday 21st November 2011
From speaking to the many Gooners I have got to know down the seasons, I very much got the impression many were thoroughly looking forward to our first trip to Norwich for seven years. The change of routine this kind of destination gives you certainly increases the anticipation but many took the opportunity to enjoy the city's night time hospitality too!
For our large following in this part of the country, the fixture is simply huge, the chance to avoid any 'grief' from their Canaries-supporting friends and work colleagues adding considerable spice and significance to the game.
For our particular travelling party it meant an extremely early start on Saturday morning but with Norfolk Gooner Roy being the landlord of a Norwich pub, pre-match activities were always going to prove highly entertaining.
Our journey successfully undertaken we settled down to some late morning and lunchtime refreshment with thoughts turning to the game ahead.
Going into the international break things were certainly looking more positive so it was crucial to make sure we continued our good run. The opening stages suggested we were still looking sharp and eager post-break, with numerous chances coming and going.
Without taking them however, it nearly proved costly, our hosts taking advantage of some defensive hesitancy to take the lead with pretty much their first foray into our box. Very frustrating but with plenty of time left on the clock I was definitely confident we could turn it around if we continued to dominate the game.
Going in at half-time on level pegging was crucial for me and with Theo and Gerv both terrorising the Canaries' defence time and time again it was one such run from the former that led to RVP's thoroughly deserved equaliser.
The red and white corner of Carrow Road went slightly mad and we were on our way.
The second period once again saw chances come and go until RVP's simply exquisite finish saw us take that all-important lead, something that was not threatened as we saw the game out.
Another good away day in the sunshine and three more big points to take out with us for that night in our host city.
These kind of situations can get a bit 'messy' at times, in the nicest possible way of course and the party we all enjoyed was no exception on this occasion.
One of our group, Dale, waking up with a cheese and onion sandwich stuck to his back, however, is almost beyond explanation! Something that might well have been all the harder to deal with had we not got the result we all wanted a few hours earlier I feel!
The long journey back saw our thoughts turn to taking on Dortmund on Wednesday night.
Another massive and completely different game, both teams will be very much looking to take maximum points from the fixture.
As always we can do our bit to try and help the team achieve just that.

a contagious viral disease originating in birds, especially poultry, with serious symptoms similar to those of flu or pneumonia
'Bird flu is spreading across south-east Asia and could soon pose a far worse threat to humans than Sars, …'The Observer 25th January 2004
In 2003, the world encountered the term SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, a disease which originated in southern China and dominated the headlines as it spread across Asia and subsequently into the UK, US and Canada through air travel, causing over 800 untimely deaths. The beginning of 2004 has witnessed the onset of another health crisis originating in Asia and causing international panic: the illness known as bird flu.
since viruses like bird flu do not usually infect humans, there is little or no immune protection from them in the human population
By mid-February 2004, ten countries in south-east Asia were affected by an outbreak of bird flu, and 22 human deaths from the virus had been confirmed. Although the virus is not thought to spread from person to person, the most likely cause of cases in humans is through contact with infected poultry, and in an attempt to contain the outbreak, more than 80 million birds have been culled in South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. The European Union was quick to impose a ban on imports of Thai chicken and eggs, its concern heightened by the knowledge that the recent catastrophic foot and mouth epidemic in the UK was almost certainly caused by pigs being fed infected imported meat. The World Health Organisation has said that the simultaneous occurrence of this highly contagious, fatal bird flu in a number of countries is historically unprecedented, and that rapid elimination of the virus from the bird population should be given high priority, the current situation being a serious concern for international human health, as well as the agriculture and poultry industry.
The more precise medical term for bird flu is avian influenza, which is also known as avian flu or fowl plague. All types of birds are susceptible to the disease, but outbreaks are most common in chickens and turkeys. Bird flu is usually spread through migratory wild birds which carry the virus but do not display signs of the disease.
Symptoms in humans range from colds and flu-like symptoms, such as coughs, sore throats and muscle pain, through to viral pneumonia and other major respiratory complications.
Since viruses like bird flu do not usually infect humans, there is little or no immune protection from them in the human population. If such viruses become able to infect humans and spread from person to person, they could therefore cause a global outbreak of disease sometimes referred to as a pandemic, a term based on the Greek pan meaning 'all' and demos meaning 'people' or 'population'. The word pandemic relates to the more familiar term epidemic (the rapid spread of a disease), from the Greek epi- meaning 'upon'. A pandemic can be defined as a very widespread or global epidemic.

I got $, I got time, and trying to find a DECENT game in general. I'm not picky, I don't care if graphics are cartonish, anime, 2d as long as they are not painful to watch (both 3rd or 2d).
I don't care if the game is PvE/PvP only or both or I wouldn't care either if I'm paying $500 a year if I know exactly what I'm receiving for every single $.
What I do mind are games designed to be played as single players and claim to be MMO's. I do mind games that try to rip me off. I do mind games that in general have bad management either in cash shops or not properly secured and if vulnerabilities do exists at least they are quickly and swiftly taken care of.
So, I ask this community WTF are you playing and more importantly why are you playing it? I'm so curious to see the type of answers I'll get and thats the other saddest part. I'll most likely get the type of responses: cuz my friends play it, cuz there is RvR, open world PvP, raiding, cuz it's turn based, cuz it's NEW, cuz I've been playing it for years and nothing better to move on to, and so on and so on and so on.
THOSE ARE NOT VALID REASONS for one to play a game, since most games are based around those things. So, I'm so curious to see how many players from this community are ACTIVELY playing a game and I would love to get detailed response with ONE GOOD reason why their game is worth to be played compared with the hundred of other games that exist and existed on the market.
It seems like most around here just like to jump into the action and play a casual MOBA/FPS/RTS/card game with their friends and win/lose some games and repeat the same process OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
I remember back in the days when I played 100,000 Star Craft matches (1v1/2v2/3v3) the reason I overplayed that game to the core is because there was a lot of conflicts, interaction and epic experiences. I've won some epic battles amonst one of the best players in a pure 1v2 or even 1v3 and saving those replays and showing to the community was priceless. We had clans going on, we had smurfs (hiddin under different names, to just get into those games and destroy those 3v3 newb grinders for perfect score and wins). We had ladder ranking, we had trading (yes trading unique names or names that could not be used anymore) We had user map games for variety, we had A LOT more than just typical, repetitive battlegrounds.
In general, Star Craft 1 was a gem that comes twice a century. The music, the skill cap, the action, the balance and perfection amongst the races. The story, the voices, everything worked smoothly. It was an epic experience, but I just dont see that type of experience in current games out there.
So, anyone here playing ANYTHING?

It's been a year since a group of 300 Mormons marched alongside thousands from Utah's gay community during the Utah Pride Festival and they plan to do it again Sunday, when both drag queens in 4-inch heels and white-shirt-and-tie men in wingtips will walk the route.
Erika Munson, a Mormon mother of five, created Mormons Building Bridges, inviting her straight, church-going friends to show a more welcoming stance toward gay men and lesbian women by participating in the Pride Parade. The festival has special significance, gay leaders said, because it's a weekend when gay Utahns can forget the smirks, stares and meanness they sometimes encounter.
This Sunday, hundreds, possibly thousands, of church-going Mormons including Mormons for Equality and Scouts for Equality will join the march through Salt Lake City. Although that support may not include gay marriage, on which Mormons Building Bridges has not taken a position, it does mean greater social acceptance, perhaps even friendship, Munson believes.
Keri Jones of Salt Lake City joined the parade last year with her wife they were legally wed in California before Proposition 8 ended same-sex marriages there and their daughter.
"We have the greatest Mormons in our life, warm and accepting," Jones said. "The hierarchy of the church speaks so differently than the arms and fingers of it, and I think it's beautiful."
Jones and others in Utah's gay community feel the year since the last Pride parade has been paradoxical, as the tone of the neighbors and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has softened toward them but some laws in the Beehive State and in the nation remain barriers.
The church created a new website, Mormonsandgays.org, which showed a warmer consideration of those with "same-sex attraction," but its doctrine did not change regarding noncelibate gay people: It's a sin.
"There is no change in the church's position of what is morally right," the website's main page reads. "But what is changing and what needs to change is to help church members respond sensitively and thoughtfully when they encounter same-sex attraction in their own families, among other church members, or elsewhere."
Shortly after being criticized for its role in supporting California's gay marriage ban, the LDS Church supported a 2009 ordinance in Salt Lake City that protected people from housing and employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
But in the past year, the LDS Church did not support a similar statewide proposal at the Legislature.
Also since the last Pride parade, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments and is expected to rule in June on the constitutionality of the federal Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8. Both define marriage as between a man and a woman.
This year has special meaning for Jones, as it marks a decade since she began a legal fight in Utah courtrooms for her right to be a part of her first daughter's life.
She and her partner, who was the girl's biological mother, had drafted co-guardianship documents and wills agreeing to raise the girl together, Jones said.
The couple broke up shortly after the girl turned 2. Jones went to court in 2003 and argued the more caring adults looking after a child, the better. She convinced judges she should play a role in the child's life and won visitation rights.
But her former partner, Cheryl Barlow, appealed. The Utah Supreme Court ruled in Jones v. Barlow in 2007 that relationships between children and adults who have acted as their parents but have no legal or biological ties to them have no protection under Utah law.
"If a heterosexual couple gets divorced it's just as wrenching," Jones said. "But there are no legal protections for children of gay couples. It's tragic for the child."
Years later, Jones worked it out with her former partner and now is able to see her daughter.
"They lived in Texas and I visited her every other weekend, but after [the Utah Supreme Court ruling] visitation was cut off completely," Jones said.
"Then [my daughter] showed up. I hadn't seen her for three years.
"I don't parent her, it's not a parenting relationship, but both Cheryl and I agree that the court was not the way to solve this problem."
Today, Jones has started a new family with her partner Cristy Gleave, and they've adopted their daughter, Glory, who is 3. Jones won't say where they adopted her because "cohabitating" couples still have no adoption rights in Utah.
But the Salt Lake City area recently topped a list of large U.S. cities with the highest percentage of same-sex couples raising children. According to an analysis of census data, 26 percent of same-sex couples in the Utah capital city and its suburbs are sharing parenthood, according to the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law.
The irony is not lost on Jones.
"We'll celebrate Pride, but we're going to just watch this year. We usually march," Jones said. "We'll be in the kids' area."

Cleveland State Slips by Softball on Friday Afternoon, 7-6
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Phoenix senior Stacey Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) finished the day with three hits and two RBIs, but the Cleveland State softball team slipped past Green Bay, 7-6, in Horizon League action Friday afternoon at Viking Field.
Green Bay dropped to 16-10 and 3-3 in HL action, while the Vikings improved to 4-3 in conference and 20-13 overall, as the teams played the first of a three-game weekend series.
Green Bay found its offense from the start, scoring two runs in the top half of the first inning. A pair of leadoff walks issued to junior Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) and senior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) started things off, before both moved into scoring position with a groundout. Senior Shannon Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) drove in the first run with her single, and then Stacey Butts's two-out base hit made it 2-0 Phoenix.
The CSU offense was limited to just two hits in the first three innings, keeping the score at 2-0 midway through the game. In the bottom of the fourth, though, Cleveland State capitalized off three hits and a Phoenix error, as Nena Doran tied the game at 2-2 with her double to left. Two batters later, Darien Ward laid down a bunt single that drove in another run, putting the Vikings on top.
In the fifth, the Phoenix answered with three runs of their own to retake the lead, all coming with two outs. Back-to-back doubles by sophomore Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) and Shannon Butts made it 3-3, with a freshman Katelyn Huemmer (Sun Prairie, Wis.) double and Stacey Butts single each driving in another run to give the Phoenix a 5-3 advantage. CSU again put up a three-spot in the home half, with Alyson Broschk's three-run home run to center field leaving the score 6-5 after five innings.
Reinke placed a double down the left field line with one out in the sixth, driving in sophomore Kelli Hutchinson (Trevor, Wis.) from second and tying the score. Back-to-back outs ended the Phoenix threat though, and the Vikings were retired in order to close out the sixth inning.
Green Bay also was set down in the top of the seventh inning with no damage done, but the leadoff Viking batter in the bottom of the seventh, Cynthia Woodard, blasted a solo shot to left to walk off with the win.
Susan Knight earned the win and improved to 10-10 with a 2.1-inning relief outing for CSU, while Green Bay senior reliever Ashley Nannemann (5-6) was saddled with the loss, after the Burlington, Wis., native pitched 1.2 innings.
The two teams will be back in action Saturday, with a doubleheader scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.

1. Streamtorrent is only available for windows. If you want to use it with other platforms you can only do that by means of a windows emulator(e.g. WINE for linux)
2. Streamtorrent doesn't allow any command line options to start a stream fullscreen. The only command line option is the stream url. So the window opens in standard size.
3. Streamtorrent is unstable. Sometimes buffering hangs the application and you have to kill the process.
4. Streamtorrent is not controllable with hotkeys, so you can't use your remote control for it (ok, you could assign something like: move mouse to x,y => click, but this is very unprecise and the window has to be at the same position)
The following instructions are for advanced users only.
General approach:
1. Install StreamTorrent (e.g. from http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownloa...31&t=4&i=1)
2. Write a script with autoit/autohotkey that takes the stream url ("st://...") as argument. The script starts streamtorrent with this url, searches for its window and puts it fullscreen. Setup a hotkey to close streamtorrent and your script. You should always kill the process of streamtorrent, because it hangs sometimes.
3. Use the script as external player in your playercorefactory, define a rule for the "st"-protocol to use this new player.
4. Write some macros for your remote control that emulate mousemovements and clicks for volume, fullscreen, stop etc. Don't forget to define a macro for closing your script (remember the hotkey in 2.).
My solution:
I've made an AutoIt script that does exactly what I posted above:
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)
$streamurl = ""
If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then
$streamurl = $CmdLine[1]
MsgBox(0, '', "No stream parameter",3)
$decodedUrl = Base64Decode($streamurl)
$array = StringRegExp($decodedUrl, Chr(23) & '.(.*?)Š[a|A]', 2)
$channel = $array[1]
$WindowName = "StreamTorrent"
$Process = "streamtorrent.exe"
$Application = "[color=red]C:\Programme\StreamTorrent 1.0\StreamTorrent.exe[/color]"
ShellExecute ( $Application ,$streamurl)
Func Quit()
$runString = StringFormat("taskkill -im %s -f", $Process)
$run = Run($runString, "", @SW_HIDE)
Func Base64Decode($s)
Local $key = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=', _
$t = '', $p = -8, $a = 0, $c, $d, $len = StringLen($s)
For $i = 1 to $len
$c = StringInStr($key, StringMid($s,$i,1), 1) - 1
If $c < 0 Then ContinueLoop
$a = BitOR(BitShift($a, -6), BitAND($c, 63))
$p = $p + 6
If $p >= 0 Then
$d = BitAND(BitShift($a, $p), 255)
If $c <> 64 Then $t = $t & Chr($d)
$a = BitAND($a, 63)
$p = $p - 8
Return $t
That's my player for playercorefactory:
<player name="StreamTorrent" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<rule protocols="st" player="StreamTorrent"/>
Pressing F11 quits the whole application. Please keep in mind that the filepaths (red) have to be adjusted . The StreamTorrent.exe is the compiled AutoIt script.
Use the script together with a macro for your remote control. Set audio adjustment to general mixer control and assign a button with F11 for closing and going back to xbmc. If you want to have true fullscreen, also assign a key for mouse double click at screen's middle. I cannot switch to fullscreen automatically because I don't know when the stream is fully loaded (and it only works when it is loaded). Have fun!

Please if you can, help me with these four questions (they've been driving me crazy!)
1. I am currently a student at community college, but I'm going to transfer to PSU this fall. I am going to get my bachelors in applied linguistics and get my T.E.S.L certificate. I have been told to make sure the place I get my certificate from should be certified and accredited because supposably almost anyone can offer a certificate. Do you think Portland State University is legitimate?
2. Is the T.E.S.L just as recognized for overseas teaching as the C.E.L.T.A and the T.E.F.L because my goal is overseas teaching?
3. I'm a native speaker of English, and I want to be the best teacher I can be, but I get a bit worried when I think of all the English I don't know-- grammar, structure and participles. I know they teach you how to teach others in the T.E.S.L, but for advance English language is that what they teach you about in applied linguistics?
4. I know that after four or possibly five years of college, I will have built up student loans to pay back and right after I get out of college I want teach somewhere in Brasil, but the real is weak against the dollar and I will have to keep paying back student loans (of course overseas teacher's do not become what they are for the money) yet I am worried about not being able to teach in certain places because of being restricted by student loans. I know that you have obviously been to college and being in your career, you probably had colleagues that had student loans. Do you have any advice about paying back student loans while overseas?

ARM has unveiled details of its new Cortex-A15 MPCore processor, and it's quite the power house.
While Qualcomm and Samsung are preparing to hit the market with their new (ARM-based) dual-core parts running at speeds up to 1.5GHz, ARM's new chip design can pack in four processing cores and run at up to 2.5GHz. As ARM doesn't actually manufacturer chips itself, it will be licensing the design to its partners like Samsung, Qualcomm, Broadcomm, and Apple for immediate production on Global Foundries' 32nm or 28nm process.
With the core processors based on existing ARMv7-A Cortex architecture, the new CPUs will be completely backward compatible with software for existing designs. However, the new chips also add new features like Large Physical Address Extensions (LPAE) for addressing up to 1TB of memory and hardware virtualisation support.
All this points to the high-end quad-core parts being put to use in server and embedded environments, rather than your next smartphone Nonetheless, we can certainly expect to find even faster dual-core parts in tablet PCs and smartbooks in the not too distant future, and ARM reckons "mobile configurations of the Cortex-A15 MPCore processor will deliver over five times the performance of today's advanced smartphones".
It will be a while before we see such handsets hit the market but with that sort of progress to look forward to, we suppose we can wait.

A proposed $3.5 billion power line connecting a Wyoming wind-energy project with Nevada would pass through Utah, moving enough electricity through the state to power 1.4 million homes in Las Vegas and Southern California
The companies behind the Zephyr Power Transmission Project conduct three open houses in Utah this week in St. George, Parowan and Milford, all communities near where the high-voltage, direct-current line would pass.
The project's purpose is to deliver power under development in Wyoming's windy southeast corner to consumers in the Southwest. The line's southern terminus would be Eldorado Valley south of Las Vegas, where the power would be converted to alternating current and sold through the distribution grid, according to Anne Spaltholz, a spokeswoman with the American Transmission Co.
Duke Energy and American Transmission formed a joint venture in 2011 to acquire and develop the Zephyr project.
The project's initial proponent, Pathfinder Renewable Wind Energy, is the company seeking to build hundreds of turbines on 150,000 acres near Chugwater, Wyo. Pathfinder is committed to use at least two-thirds of the line's 3,000-megawatt capacity.
The Zephyr Project will generate significant spending in local communities during construction, including materials and equipment purchases, real estate payments and fees and sales and use taxes, Spaltholz said.
About 500 miles of the 850-mile line lies in Utah. It would enter from Colorado near Vernal, pass through the Uinta Basin, then Nephi, then bend south dear Delta and exit the state west of St. George.
"We haven't yet filed any regulatory applications. We are doing outreach with various stakeholders including landowners," Spaltholz said. "We would like to get this feedback to make adjustments before we enter the permitting process."
Some 80 percent of the 250-foot right of way would follow existing utility corridors, and 60 percent of its path crosses federal land. The wires would hang from structures 100 to 125 feet high and construction would run from 2017 to 2020.
The Zephyr follows a similar route through Utah as the one proposed for the TransWest Express Transmission Project, another 3,000-megawatt power line connecting Wyoming wind energy to Vegas. Construction is expected to begin on that project next year.

P Open houses this week will be held from 4 to 7 p.m.

Wednesday • Milford City Office
Thursday • Parowan High School

Brian D. Bray, I did something similar last year. Hive boxes sitting directly on rails of hive stands. No slatted racks, no screens, no bottoms. They did well. 24/7 there was a cluser of bees to be seen on the underside of the frames, it varied from baseball to softball sized. I actually layed there and watched them a few times, I once saw the cluster "spit" out a wax moth larvae and a bee followed it to the gound and really tore into it! What I found interesting was that the cluster of bees underneath remained as just that, they never built the nest downward, never drew any comb under those frames. I figured with the winter coming I'd better do something to baffle wind so I reinstalled bottom boards, but I intend to try it again this season and make further observations.
I have several queen excluders lying around brand new, that perhaps one day I will use, or not. 4yrs and counting. :-D....JP

I am sure that most of you have heard that the 1940 USA census has been released in the states. There has been great excitement as to which organisation is getting it indexed and online first.
Well this post isn't about the census, but is relevant if you find someone who has emigrated to America. Many people who moved there were processed through the government department at Ellis Island and this website has an amazing database with millions of names of those from all round the world who were looking for a better life in a new country.
There is an urban myth which says that many people has their names changed during the emigration process by officials at Ellis Island to make them easier to say and spell for the english speaking civil servants. I read recently, and can't remember where, that there is no evidence that this happened. Oh well another myth bites the dust!!

As Bus W pulls up to Granville Towers bearing the first load of Tuesday evening's campers from Roy Williams Basketball Camp, it's easy to tell it's been a busy day.
When the doors swing open, some campers look exhausted. Others look jubilant--perhaps the product of a mid-day sugar rush trip to Ken's Quickie Mart. A few look a little homesick.
But the first person off the bus looks absolutely thrilled. That's J.P. Tokoto, and he's just spent approximately two hours refereeing camp basketball games involving third graders and fourth graders. It doesn't sound like an especially glamorous assignment, but Tokoto seems to revel in it, even adding a little extra flair to a charge call at one point.
Officially, the camp day is over. As a counselor, Tokoto's day is finished. He has the evening to do whatever he wants--and, apparently, what he wants is to hang out with the campers some more, joking with them and just generally hanging out while they marvel that a real life Carolina basketball player is one of their newest friends.
It's just the latest part of a busy offseason for the rising sophomore. On Monday afternoon, he'd met with the media while still wiping away sweat from an intense shooting workout with assistant coach Hubert Davis. As a freshman, Tokoto felt he drifted too much towards standstill jump shooting, and shot 48.8% from the field but just 9.1% from the three-point line and 38.5% from the free throw line. This summer, he's focusing on his off-the-dribble and midrange game, an area he says was a strength of his in high school.
He's also made a technical adjustment to his shot.
"During the season, (Coach Davis) would see my elbow come out, like a chicken wing, almost," Tokoto says. "Now I'm trying to lock it into position and I'm seeing tremendous results."
This particular diagnosis should sound familiar. Raymond Felton shot 35.8% from the three-point line as a freshman, but improved to 44 percent as a junior after undergoing a similar shooting makeover. That's not to say Tokoto will instantly turn into a perimeter sharpshooter, but there's room for improvement if he adapts to the changes in his form.
Some of the other changes aren't quite as technical. Specifically, Tokoto hopes to play a larger role than the 8.6 minutes per game he saw as a freshman. When asked to evaluate his freshman campaign, he speaks for a full two minutes--that's a lengthy answer for any college freshman, but especially in a press conference-type environment--and identifies one key area he needs to improve.
"I kind of doubted myself...during the season, it was the mental part that held me back, not so much the physical," he says.
Some of those doubts were created by fluctuating playing time. Tokoto, who Roy Williams said has the potential to be the best offensive rebounder he's ever coached, saw his minutes surge at midseason, playing three straight double-digit minute games in a stretch that included matchups against Georgia Tech, NC State and Boston College. But he had just one double-digit minute game in the final 15 contests of the season, caught in a playing time logjam on the wing.
After spending much of last season at 193 pounds, Tokoto weighs 201 now and hopes he's on the way to 210. That should help him endure the pounding of a full ACC season, one that he hopes will include longer, more consistent minutes. He acknowledges he'll need to change his mindset to be a solid rotation contributor.
"Last year, I was thinking, 'I may not be in here long, so let me try to get one highlight play at least,'" he says with a grin.
Of course, those highlight plays--he memorably jumped over Joel James for an open practice dunk in Kansas City during the NCAA Tournament--are a big part of what endear him to those dozens of campers outside Granville Towers. They won't be his only younger fans this summer, however.
Just as he did last summer, when he returns to Wisconsin in July, Tokoto plans to help coach his younger brother's basketball team, the Wisconsin Shooters. Last year, he enlisted James to help him; pity the opposing coach of an 11-year-old basketball team who saw his confidence instantly melt away when confronted with Tokoto and James on the opposing sideline.
Until then, though, Tokoto still has plenty of business in Chapel Hill. He'll play in the current-vs-former player camp games in both sessions of Roy Williams Basketball Camp, have regular workouts with Davis and with strength coach Jonas Sahratian, and attend summer classes.
Right now, though? He's busy officiating a basketball game between fourth graders. "Come on, J.P., that was a foul!" one kid tells him.
Tokoto narrows his eyes. He has clearly been on the receiving end of this look from a few officials. "Come on, man," he says, and there's that smile again. "That wasn't a foul. You go play."

Alright so I picked up a 2006 SGM WRX the other weekend from the original owner. It was pretty well taken care of and just got some overhaul done to it (rings, valves, and a air pump). I bought this after considering doing a EJ25 swap to my 2004, but decided to just move up to 2006.
It has been a long couple of months but since I picked it up, I drove it to work for about a week and then put it down for modifying.
Now the car has my:
MY04 STi 6MT/drivetrain/rear diff
TGV Deletes
Turbo inlet
Eibach Lowering Springs
APS Dual Vent
GS 3port EBCS
FP Green HTA
DW 1300's
DW Fuel Pump
New tires
(take a deep breath)
Now for a tank of E85 and a protune. I can't wait!

Comments about American Audio Q-Spand PRO 4-Channel DJ Mixer:
Visually this mixer is tops, and it packs a LOT into a small footprint. Individual channel level meters are beautiful, selectable cross-fader curve, gain & 3-band EQ on every channel, width, tru-bass & "WOW" all built in, it even has a 12v plug for my case light & selectable ducking for mic1. It has most of the features you look for in mixers 3 & 4 times the price. There's no line noise the faders move well and fade uniformly, it's performed flawlessly for me for 4 years and counting.Only wishes:I wish it had a stereo/mono main out switch, but I just use a cable adapter to accomplish mono out when I want it.I wish it had an input for mic1 on the back, rather than forcing me to use the front panel.Great unit!!!
Comments about American Audio Q-Spand PRO 4-Channel DJ Mixer:
20minutes from the start of a dance and it does not work. I used this piece of equipment for 4 gigs spanning 4-5 weeks. I enclose this in an SKB slant rack case to protect it. I checked every possible variable for the enormous (buzz) and channel not working. This is not the ideal problem to solve 20minutes before a gig. Save yourself the headache invest in something hi quality. I know I will

|Topic Review (Newest First)
You have a reactive puppy (I do too). At 4-5 months, the pups start realizing there are lots of other big moving things outside of their own pack and begin noticing things moving at a distance. I just went through this with my own 5.5 month old. I took him everywhere it was feasible since we got him at 8 weeks old (without overwhelming him) and then all of a sudden at 4 months, he started barking at everything.
I agree with MaggieLeeRose and Chip18's advice. Work on LAT, leave it, and recall. When you are on walks, keep on moving. You are in charge and determine who you meet, etc. Never let your dog get to the end of the leash lunging (dog in control). Once you get there, forget it...you lost that round. Once my dog started becoming reactive I tried my hardest to keep him below threshold and work our way closer to joggers, bikers, other dogs, etc. we started way outside dog parks and have now moved to wide trails. Once he had the idea of LAT and leave it, we got closer to those things. When we are walking and I see his ears perk up, I say "look at the jogger" (he looks at me for a treat)..."leave it" and then we keep on moving. This HAS to happen before the dog reacts. The first time you get by something/someone without the dog reacting, praise the dog like never before!! She'll get it!! I promise. Always be aware of your surroundings so you can see possible triggers before the dog does. Eventually your dog will see a walk as just a walk and she will ignore those things. It also helps us when I speak first to the oncomer with a "Hi! Good morning!" It lets the dog know I see what's ahead and have acknowledged it...he doesn't need to.
Another example that has worked for us. We take our after dinner walk every night to our neighborhood greenbelt and play ball with our dog. I used to have to be so careful of walkers, bikers, other dogs because once our dog saw them he would go bananas. He has done this routine now for 2 months and hasn't reacted to those things in weeks. He has finally realized playing ball with "his" pack is way more fun! If I see walkers coming near, we just get MORE excited about the ball and start a chase with us. He might look up at them for a second and he is right back to his ball.
|Positive trainer said its fear. Introduced her neutral poodles and all went well. I was amazed! We are going to introduce more, one at a time to show her that not all dogs are bad. Also signing her up for a "reactive" dog class.
It's bad enough for people to be giving advice (other than, please consult a trainer) online... it's even worse when someone recommends that a poster correct the dog till they break it down and it no longer wants to do anything for fear of being abused. That is NOT training.
A 6 month old puppy barking at everyone and everything needs training and proper socialization. I see the OP has mentioned they've done e collar as well as all positive... that sounds a bit drastic (as far as methods) in such a short amount of time (considering it's a 6 month old puppy). It appears, to me, you're expecting too much too quickly from your dog. GSDs are not the easiest of puppies to raise. They require a lot of work, proper (not necessarily "a lot") of socialization, and plenty of training! All of these things should (ideally) continue until the puppy is 24 months old.
The best advice I can give and that you can get is to please go find a trainer. I would push you toward a mostly positive reinforcement trainer as the barking seems to either come from a fear point of view, or worse, one of weak nerve (which also comes from a fearful perspective of the world). Correcting this behavior will only justify your puppy's fear :/ I'm sure at 6 months your pup is getting harder to control... I'd hate to hear of you having to rehome your 16 month old 100lb fear aggressive dog because you're now afraid he'll bite someone because you really can't control him.
i was exaggerating with choke the **** out of it. trust me i'm a puss when it come to pulling on a prong collar. i correct with about half the force our trainer wants us to, but he trains military and law enforcement K9s. if you ask me he's too militant with the dogs. my dog really only needs a very slight pull to be a decent correction and re-focus.
i do however think a prong collar if used correctly would help the OP with his problem.

obviously i don't mean over-correct/kill it, but a decent correction should do the trick. it'll learn after a short while.
Not to sound argumentative but that doesn't sound like a twist of the wrist.

|lol 'cause i correct my dog when they do something wrong. you're supposed to if you don't want your dog to walk over you. i'm not saying hurt the dog just a pull to shift their focus from barking at someone and put it back on you. according to our trainer the wife and i don't pull hard enough. it only takes a slight twist of the wrist to shift our dog's focus. but whatever. his dog can bark at everybody forever.

Hi, Im currently a Qualified Nurse looking for a career break with the possibility of a career change. I have a Diploma and im hoping the teaching involved in daily practice will stand me in good steed.
After a fair ammount of research ive decided TEFL is the route for me, the possibility of combining travel with a wage and getting a break from nursing is frankly my idea of heaven!
I was a mili-second away from applying for my CELTA course when all hopes of selling my property in the near future have been squashed by this cruel cruel market. Even with rental potential im still going to me left with substantial monthly commitments.
So now im in a situation: i could go ahead with the CELTA and hope for 3 month contracts abroad in a country that doesnt require a degree for visa purposes. Ive also been looking into positions in England as that would make things easier for obvious reasons.
Do people think its worth spending the £1000 for the CELTA at the moment with my financial committments, or should i just hold off for now? ( I do think the CELTA is the best route, im also hoping to do both the young learners and business english courses)
Im not sure how beneficial 3 month contracts would be to me or my students or for that matter how easily they are obtained as i cant seem to find many, but it is something ive ben really looking forward to, im really passionate about it.
Does anyone have any guidance?

I just miss the days of proper boxes to fit your shit in instead of just being rolled up in cardboard with a bunch of tape... But I don't know if that's who ships it or the shipping company.
They use to ring my door bell. Never waited till I answered and now they do nothing... Not even a quick knock.
|I've had more problems FedEx than UPS. FedEx never rings the bell and they've left the delivery notice on the wrong door many times.
First off, Snowolf, damn you and thank you.
As for the thread topic, most of the shipments I receive for riding gear is always smashed up. There's never been any damage so it doesn't matter to me. I had a friend who received his snowboard in a box that was clearly re-taped, he opened it up and the plastic on his board was also re-taped. Board was still in new condition though.
It's only with snowboarding gear though, everything I order from other retailers like Amazon show up in undamaged packaging.
If the trade-off for extremely customer-friendly return policies is crappy packaging, I'll take it, as long as the goods inside are undamaged. I mean, take dogfunk for example, their return policy is send it back whenever the heck you want even without a receipt!
As for the courtesy door knock / bell ring, I don't mind as my dogs are usually barking holy heck when they hear anyone come near the door.
UPS guys don't have the most glamours jobs, and there's always going to be the bad apple, like this guy:
UPS Drivers throws package 12 22 2011 - YouTube
But then you also have to feel for a guy actually trying to do a decent job and prevent a package from being stolen then having to deal with an idiot customers like this:

|ahahahahahahah I just received a package and this time I got a knock ! I went out to grab the package and saw the postman walking back to his truck. It was a new guy ! He saw me and said have a good one and I did the same. I didn't complain on the other guy but other people must have lol

UPS and Fedex both have the option now to pick up at a UPS or Fedex store. This is what I have got in the habit of using. It removes every concern about stuff being stolen or put in the wrong place. It also allows to get it sooner since all business deliveries are done in the morning.
If you don't want that then almost all problems with UPS/Fedex can be solved by a simple note. If a driver knows his effort to contact you will be worth it he will go through with it. It has worked %100 for me.
I was a local courier for over 5 years. Dealing with having to deliver to residences in the middle of the day massively sucked. Only about half of the door bells work and knocking does start to hurt pretty fast. Then you are left with waiting for someone that may or may not come.
|UPS sucks. There are people here in Mammoth who watch sponsored riders houses for boxes left unattended. It's not like a board box is inconspicuous! I myself had a board box snagged off my porch a few years ago. Stupid theif took the VERY limited board up to the hill for a ride, he had a bad day.
|My ups and fedex guys open the door and put shut on the counter. He started doing it when I had my leg broken in Jan.
again, your situation is specific. From your description you wouldn't be happy with me as I would do what it took to leave it. How would I know your dogs eat cardboard. I know my dog wouldn't. Dog bites are a big issue, insurance, doctor visits, the paper work involved. I'm sure you don't want to pay for a guy getting bit by your dogs trying to make you happy.
I will caution you though, if you have to many complaints against a driver or claims, UPS will require a signature on all your deliveries and if you aren't in you will need to pick them up. That being the case I'm sure you would just switch to FedEx.
Not all garages are open and labeled. Also not sure where he parks but, if it is 15 yards from your door that is 30 yards total. If his truck is another 10 yards to the curb, your running 50 yards to deliver one box. Not time or cost effective. Remember most of us already work a physical 10 hour day, adding more work means less time with our families as well.
Have you ever asked your guy to leave them some where that you will be happy??
Left a note for the UPS guy, please place package here. Some people yell if we open those gates, so now what do we do?
Communicating with him in some fashion could very well resolve all your issues immediately, worth a try. I have customer that give me their garage code and I open it, place package up by their door and close it. It is a win for both of us.
I hope you find some peace with this, as you seem pretty steamed about it.

I don't know about your specific situation since I can't see it, but it doesn't sound like an ideal location to try and deliver packages to.
You should seriously sign up for UPS MyChoice, you can track your packages online, give special delivery instructions, and authorize them to leave packages without a signature if you're not around. I've found it to be pretty handy myself since I'm rarely home during business hours and get a lot of packages.

The Bastille was a prison fortress in Paris that was stormed by over 8,000 French citizens on July 14th, 1789, kicking off the French Revolution. Their goal was the release of hundreds of political prisoners – plus the attainment of arms stored therein.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Colin and Chung are lovely hosts and very kind. We enjoyed our stay in Melbourne, especially in Colin's beautiful old Victorian house. The room is big and comfortable. I would recommend it to anybody who wants to stay in St. Kilda. Great location!
I would like to say thank you for a nice stay, Colin and the other host were just friendly and helpful. My room was very spacious and clean, so was the bathroom; the location is great with so many lovely places for every day brunch;) I really enjoyed my stay although I didn't spend much time in the house - away to tennis most of the day - Australian open was an incredible experience, thinking of visiting the next one:) I would stay again visit any hesitation.
we were greeted by two very friendly hosts, the breakfasts are good and friendly, we enjoyed the atmosphere of this beautiful old house a little "at home" right address

Lavendar candle and home fragrance
This has no lavendar fragance and smells like powder. I would not recommend this product. I am returning my purchase.
Spa scent
I choose where I place my scented candles carefully, and since the aroma of lavender has a calming effect, I often have lavender scent in my bathwater. Therefore, I put a lavender candle in my bathroom.
It helps that this candle comes in a very pretty glass etched with a sprig of lavender the same color as the walls in my bathroom!

Help Guide is a wonderful resource that can help you find the help you need. It started off as a small local project and has skyrocketed into an international site that helps people understand, prevent, and solve health-related challenges.
On the main page, you'll find an assortment of articles that are being featured. The site's navigation is found on the left side menu, which is divided into the following categories:
Mental & Emotional Help — here you will find resources that deal with Abuse, Addiction, ADD & ADHD, Anxiety, Autism & Learning Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Eating Disorders, Emotional Health, Emotional Skills Toolkit, Grief & Loss, Schizophrenia, Stress, and Trauma. As you can see this section really covers the gamut. I found this site looking for help with stress; it was the first section I checked out. It offered a great deal of help for managing stress and finding ways to relax.
Family & Relationships – here you'll find tips on Parenting & Family, Relationship Help, and Childhood Challenges. I have a friend who is going through a rough breakup with her boyfriend and I pointed her to the Relationship section here to get some tips on communicating.
Healthy Living – here you'll find sections on Eating & Diet, Sleep, Mind & Body & Spirit, and Work & Career. This is the section I came back to the site for! I needed tips to help my roommate with her sleep situation.
Seniors & Aging – here you'll find sections on Aging Well, Alzheimer's/Dementia, and Caregiving & Housing. I personally don't have a need to use them, but many people are trying to care for a senior, or have a family member who has Alzheimer's. This section offers a lot of great tips on these topics.
I found this site while I was looking for answers for myself. I have been feeling a lot pressure to get my life and health together since I'm turning thirty next year. Not to mention, the stress I was coping with trying to get my finals turned in on time! So I bookmarked this page and I've been back a couple of times to check out a new topic – like the articles on insomnia for my roommate, who has trouble staying asleep.
So I'd recommend bookmarking it, so you can come back for help whenever you need it.

Daily Beast falsely claims Gore has made only one public statement on oil spill
The Daily Beast published an article [1], titled "Al Gore's Weird Silence," which falsely claimed that Gore has only made one public statement on the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, Gore has made numerous public statements about the spill.
Daily Beast reporter Dayo Olopade writes that Al Gore's "only public statement has come in a short article for The New Republic's website [2] comparing the oil gusher to CO2 emissions" and that Gore "has been largely silent during the worst environmental catastrophe in memory."
However, the article itself provides a quote from a Gore spokesman challenging the claim that Gore has only spoken once about the oil spill:
Kalee Kreider, a spokesperson for Gore's office in Nashville, said in a statement: "Former Vice President Gore has addressed the crisis in the Gulf in a major speech, an essay in The New Republic and through numerous postings on his Twitter and personal online journal on algore.com [3]. He also works closely on the climate crisis, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, and the oil spill through the philanthropy that he chairs, the Alliance for Climate Protection, based in Washington, DC."
It turns out that Gore's spokesperson is correct and Olopade's claim is meritless. The Knoxville News Sentinel reported [4] that Gore addressed the oil spill in his commencement speech at the University of Tennessee. Gore's New Republic piece [2] [subscription required] -- which Olopade describes as "short" -- is a 2000+ word essay dealing with the spill. He has repeatedly [5] written [6] about [7] the spill on Twitter and on [8] AlGore.com. KBSW also reported [9] that he discussed the spill during the Panetta lecture series in California -- a video of which is embedded in Olopade's piece.
Olopade also wrote that "Gore's disappearance means that environmentalists are lacking that strong voice at precisely the wrong moment" and "a name like Gore's could help shoulder the burden of advocacy, and mobilize pressure for a climate bill that lives up to the promises made during the Obama campaign and in international climate negotiations."
Yet in the very same New Republic article [10] she cites, Gore writes that the oil spill "is not the only source of dangerous uncontrolled pollution spewing into the environment" and calls for legislation that will move the United States towards renewable energy, high efficiency, and sustainability. Gore goes on to say:
It is understandable that the Obama administration is focused on the immediate crisis in the Gulf of Mexico. But this is a consciousness-shifting event. It is one of those clarifying moments that brings a rare opportunity to take the longer view. Unless we change our present course soon, the future of human civilization will be in dire jeopardy. Just as we feel a sense of urgency in demanding that this ongoing oil spill be stopped, we should feel an even greater sense of urgency in demanding that the much larger and more dangerous ongoing emissions of global-warming pollution must also be halted to make the world safe from the climate crisis that is building all around us.=
If Gore's article doesn't constitute helping to "shoulder the burden of advocacy," I'm not sure what Olopade is looking for. Then again, given that her attack on Gore is contradicted within her own article, maybe Olopade isn't sure what she's looking for either.

Engaged Buddhism
Every major faith and Earth wisdom tradition offers inner resources for social action. I am especially grateful to Buddhist teachings for the inspiration and guidance they have given to my life and work.
The Buddha's central doctrine of the "dependent co-arising" reveals the dynamic interdependence of all phenomena. Its insight and practices help to free us from the prison cell of egocentricity, and from the greed, hatred, and delusion it engenders. The term Engaged Buddhism refers to the social application of these teachings, as they bring us into responsible and resilient relationship with the world around us.

You don't need to be a scientist to boost your business with applied mathematics
On 22/9/09 SPSS Inc. announced a new certification process to confirm an individual's expertise with some of their statistical solutions. "Look at this", I thought "sophisticated software still requires experts to unfold the value they can provide". Being a physicist by background, I like it how applied mathematics can improve business. However, not everyone sees beauty in algorithms or is interested in statistics.

Wojciech Szczesny expects Arsenal to improve their record from set pieces this season.
Defending from corners and free kicks was the team's Achilles heel last term with more than half of the goals they conceded in the Premier League coming in that fashion.
Szczesny ended last season as the Club's No 1 and looks well-placed to make the position his own when the new campaign kicks off next month. Ahead of the Emirates Cup he explained why he thinks Arsenal will be tougher to break down.
"You might see a little change this weekend in our tactics [with set pieces]," revealed Szczesny. "We've been working on it and I believe it's working. I believe we're going to get much better at dealing with set pieces this season.
"We weren't really stung by the criticism we received last season but it made us more determined to work hard on our weaknesses and I believe we can improve on it."
The return to fitness of Lukasz Fabianski and Vito Mannone will give Szczesny plenty of competition in the months to come but the young Pole wants to pick up where he left off in May.
"I enjoyed my spell last season and I want to do my best to convince the boss that I should be No 1," he said. "We are all friends – all the players at the Club are friends – but at the same time, we want the same No 1 spot."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

In the University of St. Thomas Master of Arts in Faith and Culture (MAFC) Program, students benefit from a diverse group of students who bring a variety of experiences, interests and goals to the Program.
The MAFC degree seeks to integrate historical, sociological, anthropological, theological and spiritual dimensions in the American way of life. The Program is designed to form civic community and church leaders capable of assisting others in the integration of personal and communal faith as faithful citizens. The MAFC degree provides working professionals, educators, and ministers with both an intellectual and practical formation program that responds to the demands of living in today's cultural context as a people of faith.
Sara Kumar
Before enrolling in the MAFC Program, Sara Kumar was living in Los Angeles, working as an electrical engineer by day and a theater artist, writer and director by night. Facing a crossroads, Kumar felt she needed more time for reflection and discernment before she could shift her focus to pursuing the arts full-time. The MAFC Program provided opportunity for Kumar to combine her desire for personal exploration with her diverse interests.
"I am an electrical engineer who is also an artist, so I have always used art and science throughout my life," Kumar said. "That's what the MAFC Program is about − integrating different fields of learning in order to understand the greatest problems our culture faces. In this Program, I can use both my left brain and right brain together.
"As a Catholic brought up with an Indian background, I was struggling the Hollywood environment," Kumar said. "Before I could write; before I could put myself on stage, I had to understand myself and the different aspects of what makes the human person. After finishing this degree, I feel confident I can pursue into a doctorate or a Master in Fine Arts degree in writing because I feel so aware of who I am, I am not afraid to write about what I believe. The MAFC Program gives me the confidence to achieve that goal."
Noel Rodriguez
After earning a degree in philosophy at the University of St. Thomas in 2010, Noel Rodriguez was perfectly positioned to be among the inaugural MAFC class. The Program is a natural fit with Rodriguez's special interests in social justice and conflict resolution. Upon completion of the MAFC Program, he plans to pursue doctoral studies.
"The MAFC program builds a bridge from what I learned in my undergraduate philosophy education and has allowed me to develop a more holistic view about some of the most complex issues in our society.
"What intrigues me the most about the MAFC Program was the notion of understanding where my faith and the American culture both meet and where they diverge," Rodriguez said. "The Center for Faith and Culture and the MAFC Program becomes a stage from which people can interact and dialogue because it embraces the arts and sciences, the principals of Catholic faith and the many different perspectives in our culture."
Catherine Braun
A longtime supporter of the Center for Faith and Culture, Catherine Braun was eagerly waiting for the opportunity to enroll in the Master of Arts in Faith and Culture Program. Braun brings her experience in the corporate world as well as a passion for community outreach to the Program. She is the director for the Charis Program at St. Luke's United Methodist Church and is involved with Christian Hands Working for entrepreneurial Hispanic women. In addition to her own personal enrichment, Braun applies what she is learning in the MAFC Program in her community outreach work.
"After each class, I'm so excited to share my experiences. I call my friend and tell her all about what we were learning," Braun said. "It has been such a positive growth experience for me; I have been thirsting for this opportunity to put my faith and my love for the country together in a positive arena.
"In my church outreach program, I frequently interact with people who are new to our country," Braun said. "In the MAFC Program, I am relearning the historical and Judeo-Christian foundations of our country, and I am now confident that I am sharing factual information rather than just sharing my own experiences. I feel empowered to talk about our great country and how individuals have the freedom to reach their greatest potential, and to become the people God created us to be."
Braun said the self awareness and acceptance of others she is learning in the MAFC program has also made a difference in her professional life.
"I work in investor relations for a very large energy corporation, and we have close to 100,000 employees," Braun said. "I have found this program has impacted my peers and the people with whom I work because I am consciously making a greater effort to be more humanistic, more accepting, less project-driven. I try to remember that we are all human beings, all come to the table with different experiences. There just seems to be a more pleasant, relaxed atmosphere when we are working on projects instead of being regimented and solely focused on how much we can get done before the end of the day. "
