The mornings are the biggest struggle for Cedric Martin.
Simply getting out of bed usually takes at least 20 minutes for Utah's senior small forward. Asking him for a specific ache is futile. Everything hurts, from the groin that caused him to miss three games this season to his chipped elbow.
Martin will start his last game at the Huntsman Center on Saturday afternoon, when the Utes try to take down conference contender Oregon in their regular-season finale. Martin is 22 years old, a relative baby, yet he estimates that his body feels about 40.
"I feel like an MMA fighter on most mornings," Martin said. "Sometimes I'm so stiff and it's so hard to move. If I slept until noon, there would be no way I could get out of bed to go to practice."
College basketball highlights the players who go on to play in the NBA or overseas to play professionally, making money in the process. But there are many more stories like Martin's that don't get told.
Unless Utah makes a miracle run through the Pac-12 Tournament, next week likely will mark the end of Martin's competitive playing career. His senior year has been a mixed bag of nagging injuries that have caught up to him and limited his effectiveness as the best perimeter defender on Larry Krystkowiak's team. It hasn't been anything specific. Rather, it's been the normal wear and tear of being a college basketball player.
Martin can't tell you the future, but he says he probably won't play ball on a regular basis again. At this point, he's thinking of his quality of life as he gets older. Yet, he hasn't missed time this season, other than the three games in December where he couldn't tough out his groin injury.
"That one was too painful," Martin said. "I just couldn't push through it."
Krystkowiak describes Martin as a "warrior" and a "foxhole guy." Martin is clearly one of his favorites. Any Utah fan will tell you that the 6-foot-4, 225-pound forward isn't the biggest, or the strongest Ute on the team. He's not the fastest. He used to be one of the better dunkers on the squad, but the injuries have robbed him of his leaping ability.
He arrived on campus from Lee Junior College with a reputation as a shooter. But as time went on, he became one of the best defenders in the Pac-12. This year alone, he's shut down people like UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad, BYU's Tyler Haws and Washington's Scott Suggs. He will be the only player from Krystkowiak's first recruiting class to make it through the program and graduate.
"He's the one guy that every college basketball team needs," Krystkowiak said. "He's been a tremendous example for the younger players. He carries himself professionally and approaches the everything that way on and off the court. He has been a tremendous asset to the program."
When Martin stands on the court with his father Cedric Sr., it will all be worth it. He was an all-state forward at Washburn High on the tough south side of Minneapolis because of his father's emotional and financial support. He was all-region at Lee, and a two-year starter for the Utes because of his father and his dedication to his career.
He will graduate this spring with no regrets. All of the AAU games, the workouts at 6 a.m., it will be worth it. Basketball has done its job for Martin because he put the work in. He used the game to garner himself an education.
It stands as no coincidence that Martin has been a team captain at all three schools. On the outside, he's cool and unique, a quiet person with a midwest love for the rap group Bone Thugs N Harmony. He averages 4.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, but his value goes well beyond statistics.
"He's taught us so much," freshman point guard Brandon Taylor said. "He's taught me about being a college basketball player. He's such a good defender and he's really made a name for himself in the conference."

Steven from Louisville, KY writes:
My wife has an emachine running windows 7. We would like to reformat it but she has misplaced the system disk. Can we burn a recovery disk to use to reformat it?
Since it's a rare occurrence that you'd need your reformat disk shortly after buying a new computer, it's not that uncommon for the CD to get lost in the shuffle as the years pass by. If you no longer have the disc there are still two other methods available to reformat your eMachines computer – maybe.
Unfortunately not all eMachines models include additional options for restoring the system back to factory settings, as the company instead sells replacement recovery discs online for those who have lost the original. To determine if your particular eMachines model includes a built-in option for burning a new recovery disc, open up the "Start" menu and select "All Programs."
Open the "eMachines" folder and check to see if there is a program named "Recovery Management" or something similar. If the program is listed, click the icon to bring up the recovery tool. Navigate to the "Backup" tab and click the "Create Factory Default Disc" option at the top of the window.
Insert your first blank DVD into drive (depending on your model and which version of Windows you are running, it may take multiple discs to create the backup tool) and select your DVD drive from the drop-down box. Click the "Start" button located at the bottom of the window. The program will then automatically burn all the relevant data to the disc, and prompt you to enter a second DVD if necessary.
Your eMachines computer may not include this backup program, however. If the software is missing, you may still be able to reformat the system manually by accessing a hidden hard drive partition. This separate partition is made at the factory specifically for recovering the computer in the event of serious problems.
Close all of your open programs and select the "Restart" option in the "Start" menu. Wait for the manufacturer logo to appear on the screen as the computer boots up, and tap the "Alt" and "F10" keys at the same time to bring up the hidden system menu. Select the "System Restore" option and then follow the series of prompts to wipe the hard drive and return your computer to factory settings.
If neither the backup tool or recovery partition options are available on your particular eMachines model, you can still order a new recovery disc directly from the manufacturer's website, which can be done right here [1].

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,
|reviewer: K.Nicholas from Indianapolis, Indiana
|Flew in from Indiana just to see Daniel Radcliffe in this show. It was MORE than what our family expected. Our teenage daughter was just as thrilled as we were. It was lively, funny, right on the mark with entertainment. Thanks to the entire cast for one of the best nights. We left in a great mood and singing songs from the show. A great delight and Radcliffe had perfect timing for his humor. A MUST SEE!!!!

|My first Broadway Show and I wasn't disappointed! The whole cast were amazing as was the humour, music, dancing and energy they used and Daniel Radcliffe certainly shook off his Harry Potter mantle! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would heartily recommend it for a great evening out.

|I'm a huge fan of Daniel Radcliffe, which was the main reason why I saw this show. But it was much better than I was expecting! His singing was great, his dancing was great, and his performance was fantastic. The entire show was funny and enjoyable throughout, and honestly I didn't want it to end. It was way better than I could have ever hope for. See the show, you won't regret it!

I am guessing you are using DHCP , have you tried to assign yourself a IP address manually . give some more info on what you have tried and some one might be able to help you out more .
I've seen other topics regarding this but none of them seem to offer a solution.
I've install BT5 (Gnome 32) onto my Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 and it give me "Bad password" error when I try to connect to my wifi which use WPA2 with a PSK.
It has connected successfully a couple of time, but the majority of the time it give me an error.
There aren't any problems with the wireless network; I have several devices attached to it and working fine. I have restarted my router just to be sure and the problem persists.
I don't have network-manager installed.
Can anyone offer any ideas?
Many Thanks.
I am guessing you are using DHCP , have you tried to assign yourself a IP address manually . give some more info on what you have tried and some one might be able to help you out more .
If tried restarting wicd and I've restarted the laptop several time.
Wired networking is fine.
My config is all in the default state; im using wext as my wpa driver.
My card is a Broadcom BCM4312.
Any ideas? Thanks.
The WPA2-PSK key must be entered as a hex-value (not as the cleartext-passphrase). Hower, I have the same problem because I didn't figure out yet,
how to calculate the hex-value of my WPA2 key. (My router just shows the cleartextversion I entered, not the hexvalue).
Hi softize ......
You can convert from text to hex and vice versa by downloading WinHex
Make new file then type the text at the right column and the hex values will appear at the left one ....
You can copy the values by >> right-click on them >> edit >> copy hex values .... then paste that in a txt file and close the program.
Hope this helps.

Two lines wound their way into Memminger Auditorium, and we chose the one that seemed to lead towards the smell of bacon and away from the cold. As it happened, our chosen line deposited us between the booths of King Street's Kitchen 208 and Mount Pleasant's Southerly Restaurant. From Kitchen 208, John Robertson was serving a dish reminiscent of the restaurant's Cobblestone sandwich - a bacon waffle topped with local tomatoes, arugula, slightly deviled egg, and a garnish of candied bacon. Chad Billings of Southerly took a heavier approach with a bacon lollipop - savory pork belly with kimchi and radish over grits.

In 2010, the last Saturday in February became an annual, shining beacon on the Southern Beer Geek calendar. Brewvival was born. Charleston, like most cities, had its share of prior beer events, but COAST Brewing Company and The Charleston Beer Exchange set out to produce something unique. This would be an outdoor event with "hand-picked" written all over it – from the food vendors, to the live music, to the focal point: the beer.

Bowens Island Restaurant should need no introduction. The seafood landmark, situated on a tiny namesake island near Folly Beach, has been in "top" lists of national magazines, profiled on national television, and even earned itself a James Beard American Classic Award. Most people equate the joint with heaping plates of deliciously prepared, local seafood. Their oysters are their real claim to fame, harvested by hand from their surrounding waters for decades. Unfortunately, the bar selection that goes along with a menu like theirs is often lacking at best.

This past weekend, Charleston Beer aficionados and brew novices alike converged on the banks of the Ashley for the inaugural Charleston Beer Garden—a celebration of all things beer, good food and community. Despite the soaring temperature; the day reinforced the fact that Charleston, simply put, loves a good festival.
There is something naturally attractive about an event that allows social drinking outdoors. At least for me, there is. So when given the opportunity to cover the first-ever pop-up beer garden in Charleston, it solidified faith that my editors know what type of writer they hired.

The Lowcountry's newest brewery is Holy City Brewing, a four-man operation located in some converted warehouse space just off of Dorchester Road in North Charleston. Chris Brown, Joel Carl, Mac Minaudo, and Sean Nemitz joined forces to pursue their dream and add new flavors to the local beer market, producing fun, fresh takes on classic styles like Porter and Pilsner. But while they brew the classics very well, they are no strangers to innovation, and one of their beers in particular is a delicious affront to all that we knew as holy.

For more than four years now, I have sought a solution to a puzzle that has vexed me, a puzzle that involves a relationship that my wife is having (or not having). Don't worry, things are fine between myself and Mrs. Graham, as we are fast approaching the first anniversary of our exchanging of the vows.
It's about beer. I'm trying to find her one.

Scene Info
The submission training begins in Sektor 9 with Marc Dylan, handcuffed and chained to a brick wall. Spencer Reed, a 6'2', 225 lb dominant top, steps up and immediately takes charge. Reed eats the young stud's ass then releases him so that he can feed him his fat cock. All of the manhandling gets Dylan so hot he begs Reed to fuck his ass. Reed throws Dylan on his back and pounds his hole hard until he pulls out and shoots all over Dlyan's back. He licks up his own cum then licks Dylan's balls while he jacks off and blows his load. Reed orders Dylan to lick his own cum off his abs and he does as he's told.

Duke's up: von Schamann fans 10
Righty sets career high for strikeouts in 2013 Lookouts debut
By Jake Seiner / Special to MLB.com | June 10, 2013 8:58 PM ET
Hector Berrios wasn't about to let Duke von Schamann ease into his new surroundings.
The Chattanooga pitching coach crossed paths with von Schamann at Class A Great Lakes in 2012. When the latter was promoted Sunday to the Double-A Lookouts, Berrios didn't even wait for his first start before he began making suggestions.
"He's pretty familiar with me," von Schamann said. "We talked about some stuff [on Monday], and that had me pretty confident going into the game."
Berrios adjusted the right-hander's mechanics and the results indicate he pushed the correct buttons. The 2012 15th round Draft pick struck out a career-high 10 in his 2013 Double-A debut, allowing a run on three hits over six innings in the Lookouts' eventual 2-1 loss to the Jackson Generals.
The Texas Tech University product went 8-2 with a 4.34 ERA in 11 starts with Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga prior to the promotion Sunday. He struck out 50 and walked 18 in 64 1/3 innings, including a nine-strikeout performance on May 26.
The son of former NFL kicker Uwe von Schamann, the hurler worked with Berrios before the game on generating more power from his lower body.
"It's just more about using my legs," said the 6-foot-5, 220-pounder. "I was staying a little too tall and drifting forward through my windup. I want to consistently stay back so I'm leading with my hips and using my legs to create more velocity."
The Edmond, Okla., native said the tweak helped him add a mile per hour or so to his fastball and improved his command of all four of his offerings. His fastball sat in the 90-93 mph range Monday, and he mixed it effectively with his changeup, curveball and slider.
"The best thing working for me today was that I was keeping guys off balanced because I was really throwing all four of them," he said. "I was throwing strikes with every pitch."
The 22-year-old was most pleased with his command, noting that he threw 53 of his 63 pitches for strikes.
"I got ahead early, and then I was using all four of my pitches," he said. "I'm normally not a strikeout pitcher, but I was able to get ahead and then I could use all four."
The performance comes about a year after the Dodgers selected the former Red Raider in the 15th round. The right-hander posted a 2.08 ERA for Texas Tech, the third-lowest at the school in the aluminum bat era.
He made 12 starts for Class a Great Lakes after signing, posting a 3.22 ERA. At the end of the season, Los Angeles bumped him up to Chattanooga, where he allowed a run on three hits over five innings.
"It was good to have that in my mind coming back here to pitch," he said. "It was good for my confidence, knowing I could pitch at this level."
Chattanooga lost the game when Jackson's Julio Morban singled in two runs in the bottom of the seventh. The Generals swept the doubleheader, downing the Lookouts, 5-4, in the first game.
Jackson ended the first game with a triple play. With runners at first and second, Brian Cavazos-Galvez lined out to shortstop Gabriel Noriega. The shortstop stepped on second after snagging the liner, doubling up Miguel Rojas, then tossed the ball to first base to get Joc Pederson.
Los Angeles' No. 3 prospect Pederson left the second game in the middle of the first inning. The team declined to comment on his status.

UK Virtual Numbers
Choose a Virtual Phone Number for any town in the UK and we'll direct the incoming calls to your office or mobile, wherever you're based
What is a Virtual Phone Number?
In short, a Virtual Number from Planet Numbers works in very much the same way as a standard landline number.
Your customer calls your Virtual Number and your phone rings, its as simple as that. Virtual numbers 'piggy-back' an existing phone number, either landline or mobile.
A virtual phone number can make your business appear as a local enterprise, regardless of where your business is actually based. For example, if you advertise in Cardiff you could use an 02920 number – even though you don't have an office there. This gives customers the impression you're locally based and can help reduce the barriers new customers may have in calling you.
Virtual Number Example (Remote Call Forwarding)
You don't need to buy additional kit or rent additional phone lines
Naturally, you can continue using the phone that your virtual number is linked to, exactly as you did before – that's for incoming and outgoing calls. All the call routing is done by Planet Numbers remotely (and automatically) so your normal phone service carries on uninterrupted.
For the same reason, this means that when choose a Planet Numbers virtual phone number you never need to buy any additional phones or equipment or rent any additional lines from your telephone service provider.
Like to give your callers a more personal, professional welcome? Just add our automated call handling services
When times are economically challenging – like right now! – it's crucial to make sure you get the most from every one of your incoming sales calls. Planet Numbers' automated call handling services are the simplest way to add a sophisticated but easy to manage range of 'virtual switchboard' services. You can add one of these amazingly clever packages onto your virtual number from just £7 a month.
Automated greetings messages, out-of-hour rerouting to mobiles, call queuing and automatic voicemail to email are all great ways to make sure you never miss a vital incoming customer call.

Want to divert your virtual number to your mobile?
If you're often away from your main premises, perhaps meeting with customers, clients and suppliers – particularly if you're a small or one-man business, you might like to pick up your calls on your mobile instead of on a landline.
Needless to say, your callers will have no idea they are calling a mobile and naturally they won't pay the normal charges for doing so! When you choose a virtual number, you can divert your incoming calls to a mobile of your choice for just 6p a minute whenever you need to, either permanently or just every now and then.
Moving to new premises? Take your virtual number with you
With a virtual number, when you move to a new office or new premises, you don't have to reprint your promotional materials or amend your website to show a new phone number. This is because your virtual number remains constant even though your actual geographic location may have changed dramatically – perhaps to the other end of the UK! To your customers, you're still in the same place you always were.

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "In any case, within a few months of the scene we have just witnessed, the village of Little Hangleton enjoyed a tremendous scandal. You can imagine the gossip it caused when the squire's son ran off with the tramp's daughter, Merope."
- —Albus Dumbledore relates the tale of the marriage to Harry Potter[src]
The wedding of Tom Riddle Senior and Merope Gaunt was held in either the fall or winter of 1925. The wedding likely took place in Little Hangleton, since both the bride and groom had lived in the village prior to the marriage.
Background Information
The marriage was instigated by Merope's use of a powerful Love Potion to seduce Riddle, who then fell in love with Merope. This was a rather scandalous marriage among the citizens of the town, due to the bride and groom's extremely different backgrounds. The bride was a pure-blood witch, the last daughter of a very ancient pure-blood supremacistic Wizarding family known as the House of Gaunt, who were all denounced by the villagers as mentally unstable due to generations of inbreeding and impoverished since the their inheritable gold was squandered. The groom was a Muggle, the son of the wealthy Thomas Riddle and Mary Riddle, who were generally disliked among the villagers, also due to their attitude. Only Merope's father Marvolo Gaunt and brother Morfin Gaunt were absent at the wedding, since they were both arrested by the Ministry of Magic months prior. Although the marriage raised plenty of eyebrows, there were some in Little Hangleton who thought that due to the unpopularity of both families that the bride and groom may have found commonality; in essence Merope and Tom were two lonely young people who found soulmates in each other.[1]
- "Within a few months of their runaway marriage, Tom Riddle reappeared at the manor house in Little Hangleton without his wife. The rumour flew around the neighbourhood that he was talking of being 'hoodwinked' and 'taken in'... He left her, never saw her again, and never troubled to discover what became of his son."
- —Albus Dumbledore on Tom Riddle Snr[src]
After the wedding, the couple had left for London. A few months later, Merope had become pregnant with their son. Vainly hoping that the elder Riddle would have developed genuine love for her, or at least stay to raise the child with her, Merope revealed to her husband that she was a witch, as well as ceased to administer him Love Potions. When Riddle regained his free will, he callously fled Merope in disgust and returned to his ancestral manor, leaving his wife to die alone from a broken heart.
Although no one knew at the time, the wedding would end up becoming one that had shaped the history of the wizarding world, as well as causing some of the most notorious atrocities in the history of that world and the Muggle world. On 31 December, 1926, Tom Marvolo Riddle, the only child of Merope and Tom, was born. The younger Riddle would as an adult become known as Lord Voldemort, the most powerful Dark Wizard in history. The revelations of his paternal lineage disgusted the younger Riddle to the point where he despised Muggles and wizards with Muggle relations for the rest of his life.
Merope's act of using magic to coerce Tom into this wedding is a symbolic reason for Voldemort's inability to understand love, as there is little more prejudicial ways to enter the world than as the result of such a loveless union.

Summit County ski areas enjoy first decent dump
October 25, 2012
Snow fell nearly all day throughout Summit County Thursday. The much- needed precipitation marked the first real storm of the ski season, dusting local ski areas with a few inches of accumulation.
Arapahoe Basin reported a small, but significant 2 inches Thursday morning.
The ski area opened Oct. 17 with two trails, the High Noon run and the High Divide terrain park with a base of 18 inches.
A-Basin's snowmaking crews continued to make snow throughout the storm Thursday and this morning with the Ramrod run on queue to open next, according to Adrienne Saia Isaac, spokeswoman for the ski area.
"Snow is always good and let's hope the cold gives us the opportunity to finish snowmaking on Ramrod," said Alan Henceroth, chief operating officer of the ski area. "This ought to be a good weekend. Ramrod will likely be open, the sun should pop out, and we will have lots of people having fun."
Loveland Ski Area, the only other Colorado mountain open, reported having 3 inches of accumulation from the storm Thursday morning.
Copper Mountain reported 6 inches of snow at the top of the mountain Thursday afternoon.
"Every little bit (of natural snow) helps," said Mike Looney, slope maintenance manager at Copper. "Cold temperatures and an added layer of frozen natural snow helps create a dense layer, which enhances our snowmaking efforts."
Keystone reported slightly more than neighboring ski areas: A total of 4 inches bolstered its snowmaking efforts Thursday.
The most accumulation occurred outside of the county though, to the north and west at neighboring ski resorts.
Beaver Creek snowmaking kicked off Wednesday evening and had the help of 7 inches of natural snow from the storm.
Aspen, Snowmass and Steamboat matched the snowfall at Beaver Creek, with the worst of the storm bringing with it approximately 7 inches of snow.
Denver, too saw snow from Thursday's weather event. Parts of the Front Range experienced up to 5 inches of accumulation, according to the National Weather Service stationed in Grand Junction.
The reported accumulations were compiled Thursday afternoon. Snowfall continued throughout the day and is expected to extend through this afternoon.
Today's forecast reflects mostly cloudy conditions with a 20 percent chance of snow showers during the day. High temperatures are projected to fall between 22-30 degrees with west winds 10-15 mph, according to forecasts through the National Weather Service stationed in Grand Junction.
Forecasters are predicting tonight to have partly cloudy conditions, low temperatures falling between 12-16 degrees with west winds 10-15 mph and gusts around 35 mph.
Saturday's forecast is calling for mostly clear conditions and only a 4 percent chance of snow. Similar sunny conditions with highs of 37 degrees and lows dipping into the high teens are projected through the rest of the weekend.

Well, Steve, the answer to that question, in McCartney's world, is January 1969.
"This project is about young people standing with children affected by conflict," McCartney said.
Was McCartney trying to singlehandedly put the bonkers back into London Fashion Week?
Lennon chose what was best for the group, and right away, he and McCartney struck up an energetic rapport.
"Like Dreamers Do," written by McCartney in 1959, was the first.
McCartney hastily swallowed the last of the biscuit and leaned forward.
My dear Miss McCartney, what on earth can have made you imagine such a thing?
He paused, startled by the look on McCartney's face, for the latter had risen like an avenging angel, white and trembling.
McCartney was on the same spot which he occupied in the first battle.
The Victoria looked restful to McCartney, whose legs were always tired.

OpenSSH is a common tool for most of network and system administrators. It is used daily to open remote sessions on hosts to perform administrative tasks. But, it is also used to automate tasks between trusted hosts. Based on public/private key pairs, hosts can exchange data or execute commands via a safe (encrypted) pipe. When you ssh to a remote server, your ssh client records the hostname, IP address and public key of the remote server in a flat file called known_hosts. The next time you start a ssh session, the ssh client compares the server information with the one saved in the known_hosts file. If they differ, an error message is displayed. The primary goal of this mechanism is to block MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) attacks.

Daft Punk expected to land first number-one album next week
Listen to Daft Punk on iHeartRadio
Daft Punk will likely be exploring uncharted chart territory next week. "Billboard" says the French DJ duo's new album Random Access Memories is expected to sell upwards of 300,000 copies before the tracking week ends on Sunday. That would be enough to put the disc at number one on next week's Billboard 200, which is a spot the robots have never reached before.
In fact, Random Access Memories is on track to sell more copies in a single week than its predecessor has sold to date. Human After All has only moved 125,000 units in the U.S. since it was released in 2005.
Random Access Memories could also score the second biggest debut of 2013. If the 300,000 estimate proves right, the feat will put Daft Punk behind only Justin Timberlake and his similarly long-awaited album, The 20/20 Experience. Timberlake's set sold an impressive 968,000 copies back in March.

I'm not sure because several of the commentaries I've read describe anapanasati as being primarily about developing jhana - and as we've been discussing it's not all that easy to get a concensus view from the suttas. Or do you mean that jhana is the means to develop the 4 satipatthanas?

Hello peeps,
Something that has always plagued me and instead of guessing, im interested to know how others handle or avoid these situations.
Probably one of the biggest things i dont like about my job is trying to get the right information from the client to do my job. I have used different tactics and currently what i thought was good is not converting the way i thought it would. Currently i have a system in place where i require content upfront before i even start my job. This i know many do so im taking this approach to avoid problems later in the process. The problem is anything that requires some time from the client i am finding they procrastinate too long, could take weeks to get information from them that really if they cared enough and were helpful would take at most a few hours of their time.
So basically i have a bunch of projects that are at the stage of waiting for content but they are at a standstill. I have repeatedly emailed them and even offered assistance if there is any holdups but they are just not cooperative. I understand people are busy but it really is no excuse when what your doing is of benefit for their business.
I would like my workflow to flow better and i want to try and avoid/overcome this holdup.
How do my other fellow web designers handle these types of situations that im sure we have all had in the past ?
Thanks in advance for your time and your responses.
Yes, it's a tricky one. One thing it's worth doing is making this a part of the early conversations, making it clear to them that you know how tricky it can be to get the content together, and look at strategies for how this can be overcome, and help them make a plan for how the content will be supplied. Perhaps break it into simple tasks, which even might be divided up and shared among the staff.
But I wouldn't even talk about design, time frames and site building until all the content is in place ... because until you understand the content and can review it, study it and mess with it, I don't think a good site can be built, as content should informs layout and site structure.
Clients don't really understand that patience is the key for quality sites. They always want their work done quicker. If they could learn waiting, they would get the best site bug free site with best quality content.
That wasn't really the issue here. We want them to stop waiting and get on with it!
If there are no specifics about the timeframe nailed down in the contract, I work on a "first come, first serve" basis. If the client takes ages to supply me what I need, he/she will have to wait until I finished doing what piled up in the mean time. I don't see what there is to get upset about here to be honest.
One thing to do is to impress on them that you have time set aside for their project in the next couple of weeks, but after that you've got other jobs lined up, so if they delay in sending you the information you need, their project will go to the bottom of the pile once the time you've set aside has passed, and people who give you information on time will get theirs done ahead.
But no, there's barely a day at work that goes past without me thinking "If you want your work done on time, you need to give me the information on time" :(
But no, there's barely a day at work that goes past without me thinking "If you want your work done on time, you need to give me the information on time" :(
Having them pay the first installment up front might help. In combination with you not starting work until you've got all the material/info, and the agreed on time schedule (and landing at the bottom of the pile if they don't deliver in time), it should be enough to get them started. Unless they don't care about the money spent...
All clearly stated in the signed contract of course.
This is a good way of finding the balance between hassling a client and managing expectations. You can be polite about the process but if it is clearly stated up front that you are providing a window to devote to their work, if they don't step up it will result in delays that are of their own making. Again if it is clear, it isn't unreasonable to point back to it and make it clear that any undue pressure and time sensitive work is at your discretion. You aren't going to hold them to ransom and will complete it as possible, but you hold the same attitude with all your clients and someone else's window is open right now.
For all the planning, warning and so on, in my experience it ALWAYS takes longer than expected to get everything you need out of a client. Make sure you have some longer term or small filler jobs to be able to pick up and put down easily.
I recently had to review my contract because I was facing a very finicky client and I wanted to make sure my time was well protected. This is what I took into consideration:1. Upfront payment was necessary and is non-refundable after 1 week - under any circumstance2. Define deliverables from the client and set a timeframe: The client had specific things to hand over within 6 weeks of the advance payment.3. Define deliverables from your end and set a time frame. Once the client hands over all things needed, you have 6 weeks to hand off the site which you can check off your list of deliverables. If all items are checked off, the site is done.
If the client does not come through on #2 - the contract is void and all work will stop. A new contract will be drawn out if the client wishes to continue the work.
I know this contract was written so that the client would say NO - which was okay with me because with this client, this tough contract was needed. Of course you have to word it better and maybe tone it down - but this was what I considered with the client. By the way they did not agree and I was relieved they did not sign.
I agree with con radical, upfront payments always help. Many companies work with upfront payments.
I thought everyone used upfront, not necessarily the whole amount but a decent sized deposit. I always try to impress on clients, who always ask "how long will it take", that it will take as long as they do and that nearly everything I've worked on has run later than I expected because I have to wait on clients to send me something I need. At the company I'm working at now we expect a deposit but also push pretty hard to do a telephone interview as quickly as possible where we get as much info as possible out of them, at least enough to draft the basic website together, having something to show them can help eg; here's how the website is looking, it just needs those photos you were sending over to be finished type approach.
Overall though, you just have to let people do their own thing, a lot of people delay sending stuff if they're short for money too, and you're just wasting time going back to them constantly.

THE grinner is an excellent fishing knot for tying line to swivels or hooks and is arguably the most reliable knot for big fish uses if it is tied properly.
1 Start by passing your main line through the eye of the hook or swivel; for increased security pass the line through twice.
2 Form a large loop alongside the main line with the end of the line and hold it securely in place.
3 Pass the end through this loop and around both pieces of line.
4 Continue to pass the end through the loop five or six times, ensuring the whipped coils do not overlap.
5 Moisten the knot very thoroughly and, holding the hook or swivel, pull gently on the tag end to start tightening the coils. Once the coils have started to 'bite', ease the knot down the line to bed against the eye. This is the critical stage – lubrication and tightening slowly ensures success.
6 Continue to bed down until the knot sits firmly against the eye; complete the tightening process by a steady pull on the tag end and main line before trimming.

Cultural infamy: So you're Kiefer Sutherland. (No, seriously, you are. Get into character. Start sneering.) You've had a pretty successful career by just about any measure: You landed respectable movies practically from the get-go, including Stand By Me and The Lost Boys. You made appearances in Hollywood blockbusters (A Few Good Men) and dark indies (the underappreciated Freeway). You even caught the directing bug, though with limited success. And then 24 came along, and while Judd Nelson is (possibly) smoking pole for pocket change in the subway, you're on top of the fucking world. You're one of the highest-paid actors in television, making somewhere around $13 million a year. You're an exec-producer on the show, which is clearly a labor of love.
This is all leading up to this question, Kiefer: When choosing what to do with your surely limited free time, what makes you pick up a script about "a disgraced former cop… guarding the ruins of a once-famous department store"? (That copy is straight from the DVD box, Kiefer.) Surely you have a million scripts crossing your desk every day, and you don't need the money. Why not pick something to stretch your acting chops, something "dangerously" indie? Better yet, why not just go on a fucking vacation?
Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself, because I haven't even watched Mirrors yet. I'm just wondering aloud. (Okay, you aren't Kiefer anymore, you're an A.V. Club reader.) And I'm not trying to make any value judgments, either: From the first time I saw the trailer for Mirrors, I knew that I would watch it on purpose. I think the film studio is actually aiming these types of movies at viewers like me, who know it won't be good, but will watch anyway. I also think they're listening in on my phone calls, and maybe living in my mirror.
Anyway, Mirrors doesn't have much cultural infamy to speak of, other than the fact that nobody seemed to like it much. The highest praise anyone could muster was TV Guide's appraisal that it's an improvement over the Korean movie it's sort-of based on, Into The Mirror. Our own Scott Tobias gave Mirrors a lowly D+, saying "the film looks to do for reflective surfaces what Amityville 4 did for killer lamps." (This is a very bad thing, because Amityville 4 isn't scary, it's funny. But not on purpose.) Worse yet, even horror fans didn't seem to like Mirrors. It has a 5.6 user rating on Metacritic. But… on the way to lunch today, Scott told me it's perhaps actually worth watching for its failures.
Curiosity factor: Mirrors is a horror movie with relatively high production values, so ding-ding-ding, we've got a winner already. Also, will it turn out that 100 minutes of Kiefer Sutherland beating the shit out of mirrors is lots of fun? There's a damn good possibility, don't you think?
The viewing experience: The previews—always a good barometer of quality—include Max Payne (a future I Watched This On Purpose for sure) and Valkyrie. Given the choice in the menu, I chose the Unrated rather than the Theatrical Version, because I want to see what the director wanted me to see, dammit. And because the box tells me that it is a "SHOCKING UNRATED CUT TOO TERRIFYING FOR THEATERS." You know a movie is scary when even the theater shits itself.
I should probably mention that this is my first experience with Blu-ray, and it looks pretty good, but it's nowhere near the visual messiah that Kyle has been promising.
Anyway, the movie: Right off the bat, it looks pretty great and acts pretty stupid. (Insert a joke about a girl here.) I start formulating theories about where this movie will take me: Will it all take place in Kiefer's mind? Will the mirror be an analogy for an examination of our own souls? As we go through this journey together, I will share my theories, but I'll tell you right now: They were all dead wrong, because this movie is way dumber than I am.
So we start with a security guard who supposedly offed himself while looking into a mirror, but that isn't what really happened: The image in the mirror picks up a shard of glass and cuts its own throat, while the real-world counterpart merely gets the effects of said slashing. It's pretty gross and gory, but not terribly over the top. That comes later.
(Oh, check the credits: Kiefer is a producer on this movie! That explains something, I guess.)
So Kiefer, once again playing the part of Jack Bauer—right down to the hoodie-under-jacket ensemble and alternating between a bark and a whisper—is a disgraced former cop (yep, you read that on the box) who shot his partner or something, but that isn't important right now. What's important is that he's estranged from his beautiful, cleavage-intensive wife and their adorable, freckle-flecked children, and he's living on his hot sister's couch while looking for work and hoping to be reinstated by the NYPD.† He takes a job as a night watchman in a beautiful old department store smack dab in the middle of Manhattan, which has been closed since a fire destroyed it five years before. It's stuck in some sort of insurance limbo, according to the guard who trains Kiefer. The old guard, who apparently doesn't have any problems with mirrors attacking him, warns Keef immediately that things are a bit creepy.
So it's time for Kiefer to do his first rounds, and time for my first THEORY: Ghosts from the fire that destroyed the building are angry, and they're looking for revenge on whoever set the fire. Or maybe it's Old Man Clemens just pretending to haunt the place so that he can buy this sweet NYC property on the cheap. (Oh wait, that's Scooby-Doo.) So Kiefer, of course, gets a taste of the freakshow on his first night. Handprints show up on the mirrors, doors open and close—your standard horror-movie scares. He says "Holy shit," because Jack Bauer can totally swear on this channel.
Now at this point I'm reminded of Eddie Murphy's routine about The Amityville Horror, in which he establishes that black people don't get into these types of situations, because they intelligently get the fuck out. (Yes, Eddie basically stole this bit from Richard Pryor.)
But no, Jack Bauer has to solve some shit. Here he is with an amazing monologue straight outta Shakespeare. It's also his first glimpse of what the mirror might hold for him.
But against Amy Smart's smart advice, he returns to work. Day two isn't as easy as day one: Instead of just seeing ghostly handprints, he sees a bunch of people on fire—really, really bad digital fire. Then he himself catches on really bad digital fire. But for some reason—specifically, that the movie needs to continue—the fake fire doesn't kill him. In this clip, you'll hear Kiefer yell what's clearly supposed to be "Help!" but in fact comes out as "Hailp!" It's pretty awesome acting.
THEORY: It has been established that Kiefer's character is a recovering alcoholic. Is this movie about his personal demons?
Key line of dialogue from Kiefer: "Fuck this place."
But wait! A clearly branded UPS box shows up, delivered by an extremely polite UPS driver. It's from the dead security guard Kiefer replaced, even though the two never met! THEORY: Jack Bauer will discover that it was arson, and get clues from dead people through the mirrors to help him solve the crime and let their souls rest. (Theory immediately disproved, since one of the clippings in the box is about the guy who confessed to the crime.)
Somehow, this leads Kiefer to some amazing fucking leaps of logic that turn out to be true: "What if the mirrors are showing us something that's not really happening? What if the mirrors can make us do things we don't want to do?" A little aside here: I watched Adaptation recently, and the subplot in which Charlie Kaufman's twin brother writes a horrible Hollywood screenplay is hilariously dead-on. The screenplay for Mirrors is about half a step above Kaufman's ridiculous The 3, about a serial killer, a cop, and a victim—who are all the same person.
Okay, so somehow Kiefer brought the curse home with him to naked Amy Smart. And naked Amy Smart is totally going to take a bath. But mirror-naked Amy Smart has other plans for this bath-taking party, and not sexy plans. Evil Amy is going to rip her own face open, which means that Good Amy is going to have her face ripped open and her tongue's gonna hang out and be all B-movie gory. There's no chance she's gonna survive this.
THEORY: Jack Bauer is truly crazy, and all this stuff is happening in his head. I mean, he automatically knows exactly what's going on, and he isn't even very surprised when his sister is in a pile of her own blood and bone in the bathtub. Duh, it's the haunted department-store mirror, not the alcoholic ex-cop with a propensity for yelling at his estranged wife and then making out with her!
Eventually, he tries simply asking the mirror what it wants. (Yes, he goes back to work.) Now would a mirror answer him? Sure enough, it scratches out a name: Esseker. THEORY: Esseker will spell out something backwards, à la The Shining, but trickier. (Theory proved false almost immediately.)
So it's research time. (Boooo-ring.) Kiefer learns some shit about the guy who burned down the store, including that the guy (named Berry) was told by the mirrors to find Esseker! At some point in here, Jack discovers that the basement of the department store has a sign pointing to… wait for it… an old asylum! (No, this isn't another Scooby-Doo joke.) THEORY: He is actually locked in this asylum and is dreaming this whole fantasia up. (Theory proved false fairly quickly.)
Anyway, he kicks through a fucking brick wall (!) to find some sort of space-age chamber—clearly this is where the evil doctors experimented on poor mental patients back in the day. Guess what the chamber is filled with? That's right, some motherfucking badass mirrors. And now regular Kiefer has to deal with a whole bunch of reflected Kiefers, all ready to do damage to him, because really they're made of alcohol. Or are they? (They aren't. And they don't hurt him, strangely.)
It turns out that, 50 years ago, the mental institution was the scene of a horrible massacre, which somehow nobody really knew about. All the patients—including a 12-year-old girl named Anna Esseker—were slaughtered. Get this: They killed each other. (How did the last one die, then? Hurt feelings?) But guess what? Anna Esseker isn't dead, and Kiefer goes out to visit her family's farm, where her kindly old uncle shows him the dungeon they used to keep Anna locked up in. (They haven't redecorated?) When he reveals that he knows Anna is alive and now an old lady (he discovered it in "the files," you see), the uncle quickly tells him where she lives—in a monastery with no mirrors, of course. It takes very little to get the old-nun version of Anna talking, and she spills the whole backstory in one fell swoop.
In the meantime, the demons have invaded Kiefer's wife's house, fucking with her creepy son and practically invisible daughter. Instead of heading home to help them, Kiefer kidnaps the nun and takes her back to the department store, I guess to give her back to the demons that used to possess her? That isn't very nice, but if Jack Bauer understands anything, it's making difficult choices. But she goes along with it, allowing herself to be strapped in the mirror chamber. And then—spoiler alert?—the bitch pretty much just up and explodes.
And then the short bus arrives. I mean, things aren't going great up until this point, but we've got a halfway decent, fairly stupid, marginally entertaining scare-flick going. But when the demons regain control of little Anna, she turns into a B-movie puppet-beast that starts chasing Kiefer through the sewer system. He pulls his gun, of course, because his gun has proved so effective in the movie thus far. The demon-puppet-girl throws him around a bit, and finally he impales her on a steaming pipe (it's blowing hot clichés!) and then takes dead aim and puts a bullet between her demon eyes. (After, of course, taunting her with "C'mon, you bitch!")
Then Kiefer makes a needlessly complicated escape through fire and falling concrete, only to realize that (and this is fairly cool, actually, though undeserved) he's actually dead—and living in a backward mirror world. No word on whether he'll be solving crimes there. I guess this is setting us up for Mirrors 2: The Re-Mirroring.
But here's the real crime: The alternate ending, which the director dismisses as "too mystical," is actually way, way better. It cuts the whole Evil Dead chase scene with the demon girl, and actually draws the plight of Kiefer's family into his final act on our side of the glass. But clearly that ending tested badly or something—not enough stupidity—and it lives only on DVD.
THEORY: You probably don't want to watch this movie. (Theory proved correct.)
How much of the experience wasn't a total waste of time? Tough question; thanks for asking, mirror self. There's a decent scary movie in here somewhere. (Yes, I'm surprised to be saying that.) If you're into gore (which I'm really not), a couple of scenes will serve your needs. If you're into sub X-Files supernatural plots (I'm talking to you, Fringe fans), there are worse things you could do with 100 minutes of your time. But I'm gonna say it was about 40 percent okay. But with the understanding that THEORY: I will never watch it again, for pleasures either real or ironic.

Southwestern University's 2003-04 Economic Impact on Georgetown Tops $90 Million
Southwestern University accounted for an estimated direct economic impact of $91,036,139 on the Georgetown-Williamson County area during 2003-04, as revealed in an annual analysis from the University's Office of Fiscal Affairs.
Richard Anderson, vice president for fiscal affairs, reported that this figure was derived from assessing the direct expenditures of the University and applying a standard economic multiplier effect of 2.5.
"The multiplier used in an economic impact analysis indicates the number of times each dollar is spent and re-spent before leaving the community," says Anderson. "The methodology of the University's study is consistent with the methods used in college/university and other not-for-profit institution studies regionally and nationally. The University and its approximate 1,250 students and 410 full- and part-time employees have a significant impact on the local economy."
Southwestern University employees shared a 2003-04 payroll totaling more than $20 million, while student wages added up to nearly $888,000. Officials estimate the local impact of the University's students was approximately $3.4 million. Student expenditures include outlays for food and housing, as well as school supply purchases and recreational spending.
The University spent more than $1.5 million with Georgetown vendors and $2 million for local utilities.
