Jazz notes: Utah better without Rudy Gobert?, Blake Griffin compliments Jazz
Jazz notes: Utah better without Rudy Gobert?, Blake Griffin compliments Jazz
SALT LAKE CITY — Los Angeles Clippers guard Raymond Felton thought his team might have been put at a bigger disadvantage than the Jazz when Utah center Rudy Gobert left Game 1 with a knee injury only 17 seconds after the playoffs started.
Done laughing?
OK, carry on.
The Jazz went on to win that opener 97-95 when Joe Johnson hit a buzzer-beating, game-winning floater at Staples Center.
"With him (Gobert) being out, you'd think it would be easier, but it really wasn't," Felton said between the first two games. "It's kind of hard to play against a team when they lose one of their top guys, because everybody else steps up and plays at another level. I almost want him to come back and play."
Utah would be more than fine with that, especially after being outscored 60-38 in the paint and getting outrebounded 39-33 in the Game 2 loss Tuesday night.
On a couple of occasions, Utah played good initial defense while trailing by six points in the fourth quarter, but the Jazz couldn't secure the defensive rebound only to watch the Clippers grab an offensive board and push the lead back up to eight or nine.
"Rebounding is a tough one," Jazz big man Boris Diaw said. "They got a lot of long rebounds and even second-chance points. Overall, I thought they played better."
HIGH PRAISE: Clippers forward BlakeGriffin gave the Jazz credit for not folding and making Tuesday's game a competitive one after L.A. took a big lead early on.
"They're a team that they keep fighting. They keep executing. I've said it over and over, but they're really well-coached," Griffin said. "They don't panic. They have a good group of veteran leaders that have been in these situations."
FRONT AND CENTER:JeffWithey doesn't take playing time for granted. Heck, there were 31 games during the regular season, when Jazz coach Quin Snyder didn't even call the center's name.
Withey's role changed drastically as soon as RudyGobert crumpled to the court in the opening seconds of Game 1 Saturday. Instead of watching and cheering on Gobert and DerrickFavors, who figured to get the vast majority of center minutes this series, the fourth-year big from Kansas has been thrust into an active participant role during the playoffs.
"It's a great honor. It's what every player wants is to be in the playoffs, to play, to help their team win," Withey said. "I'm super stoked about it. I'm excited. Yeah, you can't beat the feeling."
Unfortunately, his chance came about because of injuries, but that's par for the course considering the type of season it's been for the medically-challenged Jazz.
Withey didn't make a game-winning bucket or fill up the box score in Game 1 — he had three points, two rebounds and a block — but his solid effort was one of the many contributions the Jazz needed to snag home-court advantage from the Clippers as the series heads back to Utah. He played just eight minutes in Game 2, but the Jazz were only outscored by one point in that stretch.
"I was telling my friends my job's pretty easy," he said. "I have to set good screens, roll and rebound. I'm not going to try to do anything outside of my job. I'm going to do everything I can to try to help us win. I'm not putting any extra pressure on myself to do anything special or spectacular at all."
CHESS MATCH: This is only DerrickFavors' second playoff series, but he's learned one thing about the postseason.
"It's a game of adjustments," he said. "They did a good job adjusting."
Favors humorously said that as his pre-scripted answer before media even asked him a question in the visitors' locker room at Staples Center on Tuesday night.
"We matched their intensity. It's playoff basketball. It's not going to be the same every game," he said. "Obviously they made a lot of adjustments in the pick-and-roll, getting in the paint. We've just got to make adjustments next game."
ONE-LINERS: Even after a loss, Joe Ingles can't help but be funny. While on the podium for interviews after the 99-91 setback in Game 2, Ingles turned to Gordon Hayward and told him to answer. "They don't understand what I'm saying anyway." … Clippers center DeAndre Jordan on Los Angeles' mindset and preparation for the second game: "Doc (Rivers) yelled at us a lot." … Rivers seemed surprised media didn't ask him for his reaction to Memphis coach DavidFizdale's referee rant that went viral on Monday night. "You guys done? You want to talk about Fizdale?" Reporters laughed and the Clippers coach quickly added, "No, no, I'm leaving."

In 2007 (or maybe 2008, sources differ here), the Australian music game show Spicks and Specks asked its contestants to name the popular children's song that can be heard inside the all-time great 1981 Aussie anthem "Down Under" by Men at Work. None of the contestants identified the correct answer - "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree." (As a flavor - or flavour, I guess - of the show, here's Colin Hay of Men at Work on the show in 2008. He performs "Down Under" at the end.)
"Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" was written in the 1920s by Marion Sinclair, an Australian music teacher who worked with the "Girls Guides," a Girl Scout-ish group in Australia. In 1934, Sinclair entered the song in a contest to benefit the Girls Guides, and the publishing revenue from the sheet music was used to help build Britannia Park, a campground for Girls Guides that is still around. "Kookaburra" is a quintessentially Australian song, and has been sung for 75+ years around campfires, in school choirs, and on playgrounds. (You probably are singing it in your head right now.)
Sinclair died in 1988, and so the song is still well within copyright protected status - under Australian copyright law, copyright in a song lasts for the life of the creator plus 70 years (before 2006, plus 50). While most people assumed that the Girls Guides owned the copyright to the song - the story of the 1934 contest is apparently quite well-known in Australia - it was in fact held by Larrikin Records, home to such great artists as the Rank Strangers bluegrass band (second record only!) and the Flying Emus' debut record.
Following the broadcast of Spicks and Specks, Larrikin saw dollar signs. It filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement, contending that part of the flute melody on the song - improvised by the late Greg Ham - was ripped off. Here is an NPR story that ran contemporaneous with the filing of the lawsuit. Larrikin sought between 40 and 60 percent of all royalties on the song, from day 1 of its release.
The offending part was recorded in 1981 and is all of two bars - TWO BARS!! - but the test for infringement looks at the proportion of the original song that is used, and "Kookaburra" is only a four bar song. After deciding the issue of copyright ownership in Larrikin's favor, the Court in Australia amazingly found that the band was liable for infringement. The band appealed, but the Court of Appeals affirmed the decision and the high court declined to hear the matter. Here's a great write-up from an Australian law firm that gives a succinct overview of the case and its finding.
The silver lining for Men at Work - if it may be called that - is that the court awarded modest damages to Larrikin. Instead of the 40-60% from day one sought by the plaintiff, the court found that damages were recoverable only from 6 years prior to the suit and forward (so, for 2002 onward), and found that 5% was a fair number. The 5% was determined based on the wholly-hypothetical licensing arrangement that the Court thought the parties would have entered into if they had talked in 1981.
BONUS FACT: Despite its age and ubiquity, the song "Happy Birthday to You" is still under copyright protection, having been registered in 1935. The song is now owned by Warner/Chappell Music (part of the big giant Time Warner conglomerate), and allegedly accounts for $2 million in licensing fees each year. But earlier this summer, a crop of class action lawsuits - with lead plaintiffs who are filmmakers who were shaken down for a licensing fee for use of the song in their work - were filed in federal courts in New York and San Francisco, claiming that the copyright is invalid. The outcome of that case is as of yet unknown.
BONUS FACT 2: Just for good measure, here are the videos for Men at Work's Who Can it Be Now?, Overkill, and Be Good Johnny. They really had a great run.

SCOTT WEILAND was right . . . CHESTER BENNINGTON is no longer the singer of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS. He's leaving to concentrate on his other band, LINKIN PARK.
Chester issued a statement saying, quote, "The last few years have been an amazing experience . . . [but] with the amount of time STP deserves, in addition to being in Linkin Park, and with the needs of my family, one of them always seems to fall short."
STP issued their own statement saying, quote, "We have thoroughly enjoyed our time together with Chester not only professionally, but even more so on a personal level. Sadly, it was evident that scheduling and time was working against us."
There's no word on a replacement, but STP minus Chester appeared on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" segment "Mashup Mondays" last night with JOSS STONE . . . as the Joss Stone Temple Pilots.

Capital One Financial Corp. v. C.I.R., No. 10-17887
Decided: Oct. 21, 2011
Capital One sought to retroactively amend its tax obligations for credit card late fees and air miles under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (Act). The tax court denied Capital One's requests and granted summary judgment for the IRS. First, it held that changing accounting methods retroactively for the late fees required prior permission from the Secretary which was not given in this case. Also, the court rejected Capital One's attempt to deduct the miles costs from its tax obligation because the program served as a loan, not a sale as required by the Act.
The Fourth Circuit affirmed. The court noted that even in light of the "automatic consent" provision of the Act, necessary filing procedures must still be followed to take advantage of the Act. Moreover, trying to redefine these miles loans as a sale of credit for the purpose of accelerating a deduction would lead to uncertainty and inconsistency in contravention of the Code's goals.

Older ISH'ers who are the reputed leapers and "above basket" dunkers from Wilt's Era?

Older ISH'ers who are the reputed leapers and "above basket" dunkers from Wilt's Era?
Help me make this list - I'm talkin the "freaks" of Wilt's era - the guys that could dunk on anyone and played against Wilt for at least 2 seasons. The closest things to the Vince Carters and Dwight Howards of that time.
Off the top of my head (with my reasoning):
Guards and Forwards:
Elgin Baylor - reputation + got maybe a dozen dunks on film, two look great
Gus Johnson - reputation + got half a dozen + dunks on film, one is spectacular another is great
Joe Caldwell - reputation + got a few dunks on film, at least two look good
Connie Hawkins - reputation + got a few dunks on film, at least two look spectacular
Johnny Green - reputation + got 3 good dunks on film
Randy Smith - reputation + got one spectacular dunk on film
Greg Smith - reputation + got several great dunks on film
(Maybe Tommy Hawkins?) - reputation... but I've only got maybe 3 dunks on film, unfortunately none look good or special at all
(Maybe Happy Hairston?) - not aware of a reputation but got a few dunks on film that looked better than say, Tommy Hawkins
(Maybe Fred Carter?) - not aware of any reputation but has two good dunks on film
(Maybe Dave Bing?) - not aware of any reputation but has at least one good dunk on film
(Maybe Lou Hudson?) - not aware of any reputation but has at least one good dunk on film
Centers / PF's
Bill Russell - reputation + many dunks on film, many are great at least a few are spectacular
Elvin Hayes - reputation + a few dunks on film, at least one is spectacular
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - reputation + nearly all his dunks from that time look great
Luke Jackson - not aware of any reputation but I have two dunks on film that look powerful / great
Walt Bellamy - not aware of any reputation but at least two of his numerous dunks look great on film
(Maybe young Willis Reed?) - not aware of any reputation but some of his dunks look powerful on film
Obviously more than just these guys "could" or "did" dunk I've prob got footage of at least 1/3rd of the league dunking but I don't want to make a list of people who merely "could" dunk (like say, a Jerry West, Satch Sanders, or John Havlicek) I just want the players who could do it over anyone and built up a reputation for themselves. So if I've got players on here who shouldn't be let me know, and if I'm missing players let me know - all I'm going by right now is footage, or reputation based on testimonial, or both but chances are I'm missing players or possibly even giving too much credit to others based on them getting filmed with a decent dunk (which might otherwise be a rare occurance) in an 60s/early 70's game or documentary.
Once all these above-the-rim players are accounted for I could make a top 10 dunkers of the Wilt-era mix or something

I've just returned from my marathon trip to Florida via an indirect route from Ohio to DC, and then on to Florida, and back. A quick tally of EOR's NaBloPoMo progress suggests that we missed only one day, but on several days blogged more than once, so it almost evens out, right?
While I'm not foolhardy enough to sign on for daily blogging in December, the theme for the month is Mitzvah. Expect plenty of discussion of gifts and giving here too–the theme definitely fits our rock-n-roll philanthropic lifestyle around these parts.
Thanks for joining us daily through the month of November. We hope you'll stick around for December too.

Of Good Eggs, Rulers, and Airplanes in the Hodgepodge
Welcome to the Wednesday Hodgepodge, a place where you are highly encouraged to be yourself. I rather enjoy this little Q&A session on Hump Day.
Or, as in the case of us wordier people, Dump Day.
Guess we could call it HumpDay DumpDay.
1. July 24th is Amelia Earhart Day. Earhart was the first female to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. What's something you've recently accomplished solo?
I always manage to get the proverbial egg on my face without any help whatsoever. Unless you count the set-up by someone else.
Most recently I was in a local quilt shop for only the second time. The cashier was explaining a reward system to me, a new customer.
Her: If you spend $50 a month, you get a charm for that month.
Me: Do I have to spend the $50 in a single purchase, or can I spread it out?
Her: Well, normally in a single purchase, but I'm sure the owner would give you a charm if you spent $50 in a couple weeks.
Me: Okay, cool.
Her: And when you collect all the charms in a year, there's a special reception for all those customers.
Me: How many charms do I have to collect in a year?
As soon as I said it, I wished so hard I had taken a millisecond to think about my question. We both laughed and I said something about math never being my forte. She was probably thinking, "Lady, if you can't figure out 1x12, maybe you should find a hobby that doesn't require rulers!!!!
2. What's one product you use that never ever fails?
Bleach. For better or worse.
3. Have you found your place in the world? Where is it?
My place is still in the role of wife and mother mostly at home, but I am still trying to find my niche, where I belong, what other things God has prepared for me in this awkward stage of middle life with a middle schooler, three grown kids and two new daughters-in-law. We still haven't found a home church, although we've been attending the same one since last December, on and off. I don't know what (or if) my teaching position will be this fall, or if I will be employed elsewhere.
Where do I feel most gifted? In an art or English classroom. When do I feel most needed? When I 'm giving practical aid and companionship to someone with disabilities.
4. Worst movie you ever saw?
Oh, dear, I try to forget those time wasters. How about the most recent one I can remember? I don't even recall the title. Some "thriller" that wasn't thrilling, but rather a bunch of bad acting, horrible special effects, and comical stunts that weren't supposed to be. I mean, when someone falls over a steel fire escape from supposedly the top floor to the ground, you shouldn't hear them land on a squeaky mattress.
5. What's the last fun thing you did?
Fun? I have pondered this concept for many weeks and concluded I don't really do much of what I'd call "fun." As in "yeehaw, wowee!" stuff. But my happy place is anywhere I am creating or thinking creative thoughts.
6. The month of July is named for Roman Emperor Julius Caesar...ever been to Rome? What's your favorite Italian dish?
I've never been to Rome, but I babysit every Friday and am putting my piddly paycheck faithfully into a savings account I call my Italy fund.
Fave Italian dish? Seafood linguine.
7. What is one piece of advice you'd offer new mom Kate Middleton?
Get the heck out of Dodge, or London, as the case may be. Take your little future ruler with you, plus maybe his daddy and 12 nursing bras. Go to Wyoming and live in a hut to raise your son.
No, in all seriousness, I would tell her to trust God with her baby, and to trust her maternal instincts.
Speaking of all this royal baby hoopla, I simply MUST tell you that my very own brother-in-law and his wife had the distinct pleasure to be on a bus tour that let them off at Buckingham Palace just in time for the royal announcement to be set out for all to see! Their vacation just HAPPENED to correspond with the Royal Infant's entrance into the world!
8. Insert your own random thought here.
I was able to spend a wonderful LONG evening with a dear friend this past Monday. Hadn't seen her in a few years. So good catching up, but one bit of sad news she reported. Back on Mother's Day weekend, a mutual acquaintance named Tom, was flying a small airplane with his dad in preparation for a Virginia air show. The plane crashed and both Tom and his dad were killed. Tom and his wife Yvonne, have 10 children. Yes, 10.
She is still homeschooling 4 of them, one of whom has severe CP. I was never close with them, which is why I guess I'm just now hearing about this tragedy. Please take a moment to pray for his widow, his 10 children, his mom, his siblings and friends who lost a dear person. He was strong in the faith of Christ, and he is safe in God's arms, but there is a huge, gaping hole left in his absence. He was 51.

oh yes, we definitely need to meet in person some day! Rome sounds lovely - I'll start saving my pennies! ;-) Love your advice for Kate - I literally laughed out loud, causing my family to look at me strangely (nothing new there, sadly!) :-) Will certainly be praying for Tom's family... there are just no words when something like that happens...

I laughed out loud at your interaction at the quilt shop. It's totally something I might have asked... well not at a quilt shop for sure but you know what I mean. Ha.
I will certainly say prayers for Yvonne and her children.

worst movie ever - Like Water for Chocolate. Stupid. Seems Kate has taken a bit of your advice. She's already out of London w/ her babe and hubby. They are at her parents. Apparently, he has two weeks off. The baby got his name today - George Alexander Louis. Seems silly for such a tiny tot!

Book: Four: A Divergent Story Collection by Veronica Roth
Publisher: HarperCollins
Date Published: July 8th, 2014
Pages: 208
Source: Owned Copy
Date Started: July 26th, 2014
Date Finished: July 26th, 2014
Two years before Beatrice Prior made her choice, the sixteen-year-old son of Abnegation's faction leader did the same. Tobias's transfer to Dauntless is a chance to begin again. Here, he will not be called the name his parents gave him. Here, he will not let fear turn him into a cowering child.
Newly christened "Four," he discovers during initiation that he will succeed in Dauntless. Initiation is only the beginning, though; Four must claim his place in the Dauntless hierarchy. His decisions will affect future initiates as well as uncover secrets that could threaten his own future—and the future of the entire faction system.
Two years later, Four is poised to take action, but the course is still unclear. The first new initiate who jumps into the net might change all that. With her, the way to righting their world might become clear. With her, it might become possible to be Tobias once again.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth comes a companion volume to the worldwide bestselling DIVERGENT series, told from the per-spective of the immensely popular character Tobias. The four pieces included here—THE TRANSFER, THE INITIATE, THE SON, and THE TRAITOR—plus three additional exclusive scenes, give readers an electrifying glimpse into the history and heart of Tobias, and set the stage for the epic saga of the DIVERGENT trilogy.
Hello All! I know its been a while since I posted anything, but I promise you I haven't abandoned you! I've just been extremely busy. But I do have some great reviews for you! Today I'm reviewing the Four stories that belong to the Divergent series.
So I went to a Veronica Roth signing, and in order to get in, I had to purchase this book, which I was fine with. These stories are available as stand alone novellas, or you can purchase them in a single hardbound book like I did. These stories are told from Four's perspective, mostly times when he was away from Tris. Well, in fact, two of them are told before Divergent even takes place, like his own choosing ceremony and initiation training.
Really, there isn't much to say here except that these stories were a nice insight into Four's perspective. It was cool to see how Four was acting and thinking when he wasn't around Tris. I have to say that this redeemed my view on Four. I wasn't his biggest fan in Allegiant.
There are also some scenes in the back of this book that are from Divergent that are instead told from Four's perspective. So it was a nice flip on the situation.
If you're a big fan of the Divergent series, this book is a nice little insight back into that world. It isn't necessary to read this book in order to complete the Divergent series.

How To Get The Furniture You Desire
Your furniture is something that is used for many hours. It's essential that you buy high-quality pieces that will last a long time. The following article will help you shop for furniture that you can afford. Keep reading to learn about buying furniture.
If you want to buy wood furniture such as antiques, look beyond the surface. Look inside and underneath the item. Pull out the drawers and inspect them. This can give you a good idea of the piece's condition. It's sometimes called secondary wood and these surfaces can help you figure out the construction quality, along with the age of the piece.
Make Your Furniture Purchase Easy With These Tips Always fully test any furniture you are considering buying. While it seems like a good idea to purchase furniture online, nothing beats actually testing it out at a showroom. You may not like it as much when you actually see it. It is better to only buy the things you know you will love.
At some point in your furniture shopping, get offline and visit actual stores. Online research is good if you want to get product details, but you need to physically see furniture before making a purchase. This is the only way to determine your personal reaction and comfort to pieces.
Require More Information On Furniture? Read This Article Look at thrift stores for furniture. Maybe you haven't been to one, or haven't been in years. You are able to find some good furniture in them. Most stores only take small pieces of furniture but you can sometimes come across a nice dining room table or a sofa.
Consider your furniture colors carefully before buying. Bold colors might not match when you change your decor. Reserve bold colors and patterns for your smaller pieces, and stick with neutral colors and patterns for the larger pieces of furniture.
Require More Information On Furniture? Read This Article When buying a couch, ask questions about the springs. If the sales associate assisting you isn't able to tell you more about the system, ask to talk with another employee. Push on the sofa and make sure you can feel the springs running from back to front.
Bring in color samples from your walls when trying to match furniture. Although you may fall in love with a piece of furniture, if it clashes with your other furniture, you will not be happy. Prevent this from occurring. It's pretty easy to find a swatch at your home improvement store, or just take a quick picture of your wall for comparison sake.
Test out any used furniture you are considering. That means sitting on it, lying down on it, bumping into it - anything you might do at home. This will help you to spot any hidden damage areas. By flipping it over you can see the manufacturer information, giving you a true-value and sense of worth.
Make sure the furniture that you're looking at is well-crafted. Solid wood is a better choice than pressed wood options. Also, a plywood back is better than heavy cardboard or composite wood. Apply some pressure to both of the piece's sides to be sure it doesn't move in any of those directions.
You want to be sure your furniture will last for years. Apply the ideas presented here to buy only furniture that is built right and priced within your budget. You'll have the right furniture in no time at all when you follow the advice that you've just been given.

Sample Programs:
The Ultimate Strategy: Advancing Physician Effectiveness
Many of our strategic and operational challenges, such as quality, cost and
the patient experience, are heavily influenced by physicians. This program outlines a strategy to advance Physician Effectiveness in your organization and bring measurable, positive change into the clinical environment. You'll learn how leaders activate physicians in pursuit of a shared mission, and how to create physician participation, support and leadership. Drs. Beeson and McEvoy will share "road-tested strategies" that equip clinical teams to do what they do best on behalf of patients.
Crafting The Optimal Patient Experience
From a physician's perspective, how we shape the patient experience affects everything - clinical, financial, ethical and emotional. Learn the proven techniques for involving patients in the experience they need and seek. This presentation embodies a simple, interactive "How To," using patient–centered behaviors that work for patients and physicians alike.
How to Use Measurement to Engage and Drive Performance
High performance cultures are rich in feedback loops. The proper use of performance feedback, both formal and informal, can accelerate improvement and deepen commitment and energy in your teams and organization. The process of providing feedback to physicians can be one of the most powerful tools to drive system goals. This presentation focuses on what to measure, how to report credibly, how to select goals and drive results using data.
Creating a Physician Coaching Culture
The best professionals and teams don't strive to improve in isolation—they do
it together through coaching. This presentation stresses the importance of a coaching/mentoring culture and cites examples of quality, engagement and satisfaction improvement that result from coaching. You'll learn how to create a successful coaching approach with and by physicians. Drs. McEvoy and Beeson review a simple, step-by-step approach to selecting, developing and supporting physician coaches as they share case studies of successful coaching approaches.
Keys to Successful Dyad Leadership
In this era of increasingly coordinated care, the integration of hospital and outpatient environments, and the emphasis on both individual and population care, dyad leadership has become an essential capacity of any organization that hopes to combine business acumen with clinical excellence. This presentation illustrates the key aspects of successful dyads, the typical pitfalls of dyads and how to create powerful dyad leadership that energizes your organization. Real-world experience, illustrative data and key methodologies are revealed in this insightful and common sense session.
Creating the Physician Code: The Why and How
A collaborative physician group that enhances both clinical care and operational performance is critical to the vigor of any healthcare organization. But unraveling the complex history and tribal conflicts within the physician world remains a difficult task. This presentation helps you create an "inside out" approach for inviting physicians to create a strong commitment toward collaboration, consistency, innovation and multidisciplinary care that results in catalyzed performance throughout your organization.
What's In It For Us? A Compelling Case for Change
Dragging people through change, whether physicians, leaders or patients, is a low-yield, high-energy strategy. This presentation reviews how to leverage your current circumstances toward an intrinsic commitment to a positive future. Using real-world examples and insights from neuroscience, strategy and the origins of clinical cultures, Drs. McEvoy and Beeson help you craft an approach that helps physicians and leaders move from "Why change?" to "Let's get moving!"
Keys To Improved Physician Leadership
Physician leadership, both formal and informal, singular and organizational, comprises a necessary and rare capacity in health care organizations. For physicians, physician leaders and executives, this session maps out an approach to physician leadership designed for physicians, by physicians and with physicians. Key structures, decision rules and developmental emphases are examined against real-world experience and successes and failures, to give you a clear edge in accelerating your physician leaders to the next level.
Who We Work With
We speak to leaders at all levels in healthcare – physicians, physician leaders, board members, executives and clinical teams.

After an injury-plagued start to his Leicester Tigers career, Miles Benjamin admits he is desperate to make the most of first-team opportunities over the festive period.
Benjamin joined the Tigers from Worcester Warriors in the summer of 2012 but was sidelined for the entirety of the 2012/13 season with a neck injury sustained in an Aviva A League game.
A knee issue restricted the winger to just four Aviva Premiership Rugby appearances in year two but he has already surpassed that total this term after finally putting his injuries behind him.
And while a starting berth is far from guaranteed with the likes of Vereniki Goneva, Blaine Scully and Adam Thompstone competing for playing time, Benjamin is keen to impress the coaching staff when the opportunity arises.
"We have a lot of very good players at the club so, for me, it's all about taking my opportunities when they come," he said.
"I might not play a huge amount ahead of someone like Vereniki Goneva, so I have to make the most of the game time that I do have.
"I've been fairly happy with the way I'm playing but the main thing is to be fully fit and playing rugby.
"I have been a bit up and down in terms of form but I'm getting more confidence coming with more game time.
"I had a lot of time on the sidelines, almost two years of my two and a half years at the club, so I'm most grateful to be playing again and hopefully I can find some good form."
It has been a mixed start to the season for Leicester and they currently lie seventh in the Aviva Premiership Rugby table – although they are just four points off Saracens in fourth.
Finishing outside the top four would be almost unthinkable for the Welford Road side, who haven't missed the play-offs since the 2003-04 season.
And while Benjamin says they are still aiming high, he acknowledges that other clubs have caught up to the once-dominant Tigers.
"As a club, our goal is always to get to Twickenham and be in contention to win the league at the end of the season," added the 26-year-old.
"I think that's what the fans and the squad expect but we are where are at the moment, which is seventh in the table, so we have to start moving up.
"The good thing is that if you can get into that top four then anything can happen in the play-offs.
"Leicester were a complete team for a very long time but it's hard to maintain that, especially in the professional era.
"Other teams are getting just as strong and better all the time – you look at a club like Exeter who are right up there but haven't been in the Premiership for that long.
"All teams are doing the same things in training and set-up, so it's about trying to find that one per cent extra to get an advantage."
From 9am on Boxing Day get 20 per cent off a limited number of tickets to the Aviva Premiership Rugby Final 2015. Click this link to take advantage of this great offer

"If you say, 'I'm going to cut this song because I know the teenagers are going to love it,' well, then you're going to alienate everybody else. When I cut my record, I'm just going to cut the things that I like, and whoever likes it, likes it. That's too much work to try to figure out the demographic. That's too much like a business."
"I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense."
"I'm a person that just likes to speak the truth, and I don't understand why in America it's such a big deal that we won't read the Koran and we won't look at history."
"I'm a person who likes these sort of movies... sad but moving 'art movies' that normally are at a festival and then they go to a small art house theater and disappear."
"While President Bush likes to project an image of strength and courage, the real truth is that in the presence of his large financial contributors, he is a moral coward."
"I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl."
"Even though now I'm pretty popular in my country and tennis is the No. 1 sport, and I'm very flattered that the people recognise me and come up and give me compliments, I'm more a person who likes to have privacy and peace."
"Not everyone likes sports. Gandhi and Malcolm X come to mind."
"Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best."
"Nobody likes insurance companies, especially health insurance companies."

Show Notes
Hey party people!
This week is a shorter show as we're a woman down and it was the weekend before a meetup. Spoilers: we got drunk together and made some bad choices for our fantasy football teams. I chose nothing but clerics! Ah well, there's always next year.
On this episode we talked ONCE AGAIN about Guild Wars 2 and FFXIV. But we also got into some deeper discussion on Bards in games and covered why Steve loves Final Fantasy's crafting. It's artisnal combat!
We hope you enjoy and if you're reading this, you're better than most people. Especially Greg.

Hales Saw Mill
Client: Hales Saw Mill Limited
Value: £3,000,000
Programme: 28 weeks
Completion Date: January 2015
McPhillips undertook this design and build project to provide a new Saw Mill on the outskirts of Market Drayton in Shropshire.
Initially the seven acre greenfield site was stripped and a 11,000m2 mesh reinforced 200mm thick concrete slab was cast in-situ to provide a suitable hardstanding. Portal frame buildings with composite roofs and built-up cladding were constructed consisting of 833m2 two storey Office and Shop, 608m2 Store, 1281m2 Timber Treatment building and a 1124m2 Manufacturing Workshop 7m to eaves. Externally there is a Drying Kiln for preparing the timber and a biomass boiler connected to a district heating system.
A 50,000 litre underground tank was installed for rainwater harvesting and supplies water for use in the timber product manufacturing processes.

A bill to ban smoking in motor vehicles when children are present has passed the State Senate. Violators could be fined $100.
"This is about the health of our children," said the bill's sponsor. There's a shock. These days, every proposal under the sun is sold as necessary for the sake of the children.
On the other hand, not every proposal is sold as necessary to prevent child abuse -- but that's how Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw put it. Noting that child abuse is illegal, he said smoking in the car with children should be, too. "If [that] isn't child abuse, what is?"
Ask that question of a kid who really has been abused.

John Ottman talks Jack The Giant Slayer in an interview that is extremely informative and an absolute blast! We chat about the nightmarish logistics behind being the composer, editor and associate producer on a project. In a completely fun fashion he discusses the dread he feels when Bryan Singer calls him up for a film since he knows lots of hard work is to follow, but it always pays off. John shares his approach to editing, why he edits first and scores last, how he's thinking creatively during his first read of the script, and so much more. This interview is extremely informative and extremely fun. John also spills a little bit about X-Men: Days Of Future Past and shares his frustration about the lack of musical continuity in most comic book film franchises. One of the most entertaining and engaging interviews on F.M.M and a real honor. Enjoy!

Bysshe Shelley was a plein-air writer—loved to write outside. (He no doubt loved, as well, getting away from any domestic responsibilities, not that he really believed that he had any. He found it hard, too, to be around Mary, who was still grieving from poor lost daughter, Clara, who'd died just six months earlier; she had been barely a year old.)
Mary's diary during these Roman months contains only the briefest entries—generally just a mention of where they've gone in the city, what she's reading each day: the Bible, Montaigne, Livy, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, King Lear … how did she bear to read Lear's wrenching lines about the death of his daughter Cordelia as he holds her dead body?
No, no, no life!
Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life,
And thou no breath at all? Thou'lt come no more,
Never, never, never, never, never! (5.3)
Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life,
And thou no breath at all? Thou'lt come no more,
Never, never, never, never, never! (5.3)
Bysshe's favorite spots during their Rome sojourn were the Forum, the Colosseum, the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla.[1] In his day—as old images and paintings show—vegetation swarmed over the fractured and fallen marble, giving these places the sort of post-lapsarian loveliness that the Romantics adored.
But it was the Baths, as Holmes notes in his magnificent biography, that became "his headquarters."[2] He worked on his Prometheus Unbound there.
On Sunday, April 25, 1999, I walked over to the Baths, got lost, then found them. Closed, of course.
I took a few photographs of the outside, figuring out how I could get back there the next day. I'd scheduled things so tightly. And I made it. My journal is a little vague about what I did. A truly lovely spot, I wrote so eloquently (?). … The sun was generally good also. I did mention, too, that the vegetation from the Shelleys' day was gone—all cleaned up and tourist-ready.
But I couldn't linger. So much to do this day—the Forum, the Colosseum, and other iconic sites were calling. And off I dashed, feeling as I often have on literary trips, that I was becoming more concerned about the photographs than about the realities in front of me. I'd learned well the lesson of the twentieth (and now twenty-first) century: A picture proves I was there; a story does not.

An innovative Lancaster company is celebrating after scooping an accoldade for the way it has developed the business.
Connect 2 Cleanrooms won the Change for Growth award at the BIBAs (Be Inspired Business Awards) and was shortlisted in another two categories - Manufacturer of the Year and Exporter of the Year.
The awards, organised by the North West Chamber of Commerce, seek to recognise the variety of business achievements in the region.
Bosses said the award was a 'highlight of the year' for the firm, which designs and manufactures hard and soft wall cleanrooms for critical environments and sells equipment to the cleanroom industry.
Managing director Joe Govier said: "Change with growth is inevitable, however when reflecting on our business and discussing business development with peers, 'resistance to change' is frequently hailed as the biggest barrier to growth.
"Here we are, receiving an award for embracing what all businesses collectively recognise as one of the biggest business challenges.
"I would like to thank customers, suppliers and my team for embracing change and for the support we have received to date, as we look forward to the opportunities to come.
"All the groundwork has been put in place to make the transition from a small company to a big player in the cleanroom market and this award is in recognition of the company's drive and ambition."
In December, the company left its premises at Kirkby Lonsdale to move to a 10,000 square feet site at Forge Lane, Halton, from where its products are shipped all over the world.
Bosses said the closer proximity to Lancaster would help the business widen its recruitment base and bring benefits from being close to the city's university.
Over the last year, the company has also taken on more staff, with an expanding workforce now including a quality manager, finance manager, European project manager and several business development coordinators.
It has reported growth every year since its launch 11 years ago and, since its relocation, plans to develop its product range and expand its local and international markets.
An increase in new technologies means the cleanroom market is forecast to grow, giving the firm greater potential.
The awards ceremony was held at Blackpool's Tower Ballroom. The firm received its accolade from TV's Eamonn Holmes.

The Honda Civic tour which stars our very own Panic(!) at the Disco released it's tour dates this past week. Of course they are not coming to Pittsburgh...why would they make my life easy. Instead a group of friends and I decided to go see them in Columbus Ohio. My goal is to go see them in Cleveland then drive and see them in Columbus. But that will only work if i have enough money. This show should be AMAZING! They haven't toured in most a year so they should have a lot of energy built up. Also going on tour with them is The Hush Sound (whom I've seen and met)and Motion City Soundtrack (whom I'm very excited to see.)
Yesterday Panic(!) also released their new single Nine In The Afternoon. It's sounds incredible, i added it to my profile for your listening pleasure. I'm addicted to the song. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Also the video should be released for it soon but here are some icons i found of the video. Looks very interesting. I'm hoping they will premiere the video soon! I'm uber excited for it!
That's it for now... stay tuned for the next chapter of my story!!!

A selection of the latest stories in the media involving Liverpool Football Club this Monday morning...
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told the Daily Telegraph that his side were never title contenders after they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of struggling Newcastle United at St James's Park yesterday.
It brought the Reds back down to earth after a series of good away performances against the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Southampton in recent weeks.
Klopp is quoted in the Daily Telegraph as saying: "I didn't hear anybody on this side of the table talking about it. I have no problem with anything you might talk about, but please don't ask me now about this - I didn't say before we were title contenders, so why I should say now that we're not.
"We played this game today and at this moment I'm trying to understand why. Everything is usually okay, but this team with a big quality and we like to work together, but today we weren't very good. We can't ignore that."
Yesterday's performance was easily the worst under the German as they suffered only their second defeat under the former Borussia Dortmund manager.
Klopp was visibly displeased by what he saw from his side as they failed to offer much end product in the final third, and wasn't satisfied with the pressing from his side, but wasn't too critical of his defence.
He is quoted in the Liverpool Echo as saying: "Obviously it was not a good football game. That was 50 per cent because of Newcastle and 50 per cent because of Liverpool.
"They didn't really create chances, but neither did we. It was an open game, but there was no rhythm from us in our game.
"Our defending in the last line was good, but our midfield pressing was not good, and I couldn't see offensive pressing. Dejan, Martin and the two full backs did a good job, but we were not creative enough, so we had no chances."
Klopp was pretty frank in the assessment of the Reds' performance, saying that the beginning, middle and the end went wrong, even if he did bemoan Alberto Moreno's effort being wrongly chalked off for offside.
Next up for the Reds is a Europa League game against Sion in Switzerland on Thursday before they return to Premier League action on Sunday when they face West Bromwich Albion at Anfield.

Guard the Doors of Our Minds
The Defenceless City
The news of 2017 began with a week of lurid and horrific reports of inhumane, calloused, and brutal behaviours. Many biblical writers, from Moses to John, warn believers of the challenges of times not unlike our own. Their description of life in this "cosmos" – is one of a constant struggle between good and evil. And they advise us to be vigilant in guarding the door to our mind — exercising self-control in all situations. Without this quality of self-control people become like cities without walls. They are defenceless in the face of marauders, and vicious enemies. They fall prey and act on wicked thoughts that go uncontested. But we do not have to live this way!
Sin Crouches at the Door
Often the perpetrators of random acts of violence, do not even fully understand their own actions. They are not unlike Cain, who failed to reflect on his negative thoughts and feelings and acted out his murderous intents by killing his brother. Cain, though warned by God to curb his bitterness and hostility, refused to exercise self-mastery. He did not guard the door of his mind! Rather the sin that crouched at the door was able to entice and overpower him. We need to take warning to be self-aware and self-reflective so we are not overcome as was Cain.
Practicing Pure Religion
How can we live our lives free from the evil influences of the world around us? How can we avoid being caught-up in violence, pornography, gossip, and many of the other commonplace snares that crouch on our doorstep, waiting to trip us up? Many of the apostles, advise us of the dangers, but also offer solutions. Living in a licentious age, not unlike our own where 50% of Christian men admit they have a problem of being addicted to pornography, these writers provided sound advice for all of us. With God we can have the peace that passes human understanding if we bring every thought into captivity and guard the doors of our minds. Let's understand the "bottom line." Let's think on the things that bring God's delight. Do you know what they are?
Overcoming Sin

Good morning all,
Sadly Troika Steppes ran a poor one yesterday and couldn't follow up on Jester Jet's win the day before, but I'm hopeful we can get back to winning ways today.
It's "Ladies" Day at Cheltenham today as the Mares take centre stage. That means proceeding with a bit of caution but there's still some value to be had on a tricky day's punting.
2.05 – 2m4f Mares Listed Novice Hurdle (Class 1) (Listed)
The ratings give plenty of these a chance – there's only a few pounds between the leading contenders but of those towards the head of the market, Dusky Legend makes the most appeal. She looks like she's crying out for this step up in trip based on her efforts this season and there was nothing wrong with her third to Let's Dance in the Mares Novice at the Festival here in March. Decent ground suits her fine and she looks the one to beat, assuming she gets the trip, although the form of the yard could be better.
Casablanca Mix is going to have to cope with very different ground than that she won on in France (heavy on both occasions she won) and it's surely worrying that she's only just making her seasonal appearance. Coilte Lass has shown she gets this trip, albeit in moderate company, and although she's beaten Dusky Legend this season already, she finds herself 5lb worse off today and I expect this trip to bring a bit more out of Dusky Legend too.
Verdana Blue looks the more likely of the Henderson duo and she finished just behind Dusky Legend last time, but to my eyes she appeared to find the final hill a bit much. At the prices Naranja makes more appeal – she was placed in a Listed bumper here last November so shouldn't have a problem with the class she's in, and 2½m on good ground might prove ideal. She's also got the tongue tie on and although she's been a bit disappointing this season, there are legitimate excuses for her poor efforts. (update – I can tell you she's had a small wind op since her last effort, which could help the situation). Worth a look e/w if the dead eight line up.
2.40 – 2m5f Mares Ltd Handicap Chase (Class 1) (Listed)
Winners of this in the last three years have started 8-1, 9-1 and 9-1, and two of them started from out of the handicap, so don't be afraid to have a look at something relatively leftfield.
Antartica De Thaix carries top weight and deservedly so after her win over Desert Queen at Huntingdon in early March but that was on soft ground and the handicapper had his say after that. I think she's got plenty on under these conditions and I'm looking elsewhere for the winner, particularly at the price she is.
Magic Money is in good form and takes her chance under a penalty after her win at Haydock at the weekend, but she only got home by a neck there so has plenty more to do with another 6lb on her back.
I like Briery Belle, who is a lovely jumper of a fence and will find herself in calmer waters here after trying her luck in the RSA last time. Back against her own sex here, and conditions to suit, she should go close. Bagging Turf won't have any issue with trip or ground but she needs to prove she's as happy left-handed as right-handed, and maybe if there's to be a big-priced upset then Storming Strumpet, fifth in this last year when produced too soon (needs holding up as late as possible) might provide it. She can't have it quick enough and if Adrian Heskin can hold on to her for as long as he dare, she might have a squeak. Looks the back-to-lay opportunity in the race for those wanting for something to have a go at in-running.
3.50 – 3m2f Handicap Chase (Class 2)
Quite an interesting little race, this. Not many of these have any course form to speak of. In fact, only the two – Coologue, who won here in October and is only 1lb higher than that win, and Lamb Or Cod, who likes it here and has twice won at this meeting. Coologue's yard (Charlie Longsden) are still struggling for winners, which is a concern, but Lamb Or Cod makes some appeal. He ran poorly at Aintree but that shouldn't put you off as he often runs a bad one, only to bounce back next time out. There's not much pace on the front end and it could be that Richard Johnson bounces him out to try and make all. The fact he won in December showed you he's still capable at this level and he'd be the selection at this stage, with no trip or ground worries.
Federici is the other that may try and take him on up front, and this tends to be the time of year he comes good. He didn't run at all badly in the Ulster National last time out and is well enough handicapped to think he could go close if on a going day.
Many of the others arguably want softer ground conditions than they are likely to get here, so the more I look at Lamb Or Cod, the more I like him. Just needs to avoid the errors that can occasionally spoil his chance.
Today's selection – Lamb Or Cod 3.50 Cheltenham
Good luck with all your bets today,

92 Chevy k1500 problems!!!
I have a 92 Chevy that won't take off or peel
out after being stoped at a stop sign and
plus it won't go up a hill like it should, I have
to floor it and when I do that it only goes
about 20 to 35 mph up that hill.. can
someone help me???
12 Answers
Sounds like a 305 haha. 4x4 should have the 350 hey. You said like it should? You've noticed a power decrease or compared it to a similar truck. Need to no a few more details to help, the list of possibilities right now would be large. You could check a few simple things first. Change the fuel filter (possible blockage). Does it miss at all. Does it rev up freely in N or P or is it sluggish. White smoke in your exhaust. Plugged cat/muffler
Yeah a 350.. no misses it revs up freely, white smoke just when I first start it up, is there a cat on a glass pipe, at least he told me it was glass pipe???
Depending on your axle gear ratio, and tire size it may not be able to spin off the line even if there wasn't a problem. Mine has a rebuild with moderate RV cam with 3.73's and 31" hancook's and it wont spin of the line. 20 to 35 driving up a hill is another story. Few more things to check, cause it sounds like there is only issues when you put a load on the motor. --If you have a timing light check the timing. Usually if the ignition fails on this truck it wont even start so I'd start with the fuel system. --Pull the air cleaner off and run it briefly both injectors should spray equally. (have had one die once while the other worked) --Check the fuel filter, check the fuel pressure. Next is the EFI sensors/system --Check for any vacuum leaks on the vacuum hoses on the motor. Unlit propane torch works. It will rev up as it sucks in propane. --Check the map sensor. The vacuum line may be cracked. --TPS? haven't had replace one yet? The fuel filter is cheap and should be replaced. They are cheap but invest in some line wrenches so that the tubing fittings don't get damaged. Don't want to have to replace the fuel lines. Will be located on the inside of your frame under the back of your cab.
Changed the tps sensor and not yet changed fuel filter, both injectors spay equally, it starts and idled fine it just going up hill and taking off.. but going change fuel filter and have someone check timing chain and check cat convert... Thanks!!! I will post if any different when any changes... Thanks once again!!!
I'm still leaning towards a fuel pressure issue. Under no engine load it takes less fuel to achieve high rpm. As you add the load you will need more fuel to achieve the same rpm. I've seen many filters plug or restrict fuel flow. Try it. If that doesn't help then I would test your fuel pressure both at idle and under load. Low pressure would mean it's the pump or the fuel pressure regulator on the throttle body.
As the others suggested, I'm pretty sure your fuel filter is clogged. They clog suddenly.
how easy is it to replace rear gears in a 1992 chevy k1500 pick up truck
@flaminsevens I would assume you mean the crown and pinion. It is easy if you have the right tools, but I wouldn't try it without them. You need a press, 1/2" drive torque wrench and a dial indicator set w/ mag base. You will also need basic hand tools to remove the wheels, drums, diff cover, driveshaft, yoke, bearing main caps and the old crown gear. I would also recommend a decent impact to remove the yoke nut. Most people also get the master rebuild kit when installing the gear set to ensure they have a "stock" of shims to achieve the proper gear spacing/wear and insurance incase a part gets damaged. You can get shims separately. You will need to look up the exact pinion depth and backlash requirements for your axle, 10 or 12 bolt, before you start (this is where the shims come in, to set these parameters). There are some helpful youtube videos if your mechanically able. If not I would hire someone for the first time and learn the tricks.
Reduce Resistances in your secondary ignition. Inspect your distributor for a degraded condition inside the cap. Replacing your cap, rotor, wires, and plugs, with the correct A/C delco parts will Save your ignition system. The ashes covering the distributor vent screens must be cleared. If your pickup coil is already crumbling, you can replace the p/u coil and module to prevent a no start condition in your near future. Since your vehicle exceeds 20 years of service, it is likely some of your performance is waiting for you in simple restoration with the correct high quality parts.
It doesn't slip at all or feel sluggish I and I can't put it in anything else but park because as soon as I press the brake pedal it kills the engine could it be they hooked the tow brakes up wrong or a shorted out wire
Thundercloud may have good success with a clean fuel filter. a fuel pressure and volume test, and the basic tuneup checks designed for a 92 350 in a K1500. there has been no mention of a code stored in the computer's memory or a pass code either. a truck that cannot climb a hill, but revs fine and makes plenty of exhaust either needs fuel or ignition tests. If he gets a haynes manual he can do the basic tune inspections and run tests. If he had some other concern with holding the truck from speeding up? Like brake problem of some type? he could coast back down the hill in neutral. To see if it was dragging. If he had a trans issue ? His codes may hold a clue. Being a 92, that's over 20 yrs old, it can be anything. he could get a road test with a tech at a shop to help define what exactly it is doing. I do not know where this mess of postings came from on this page, but they seem confused. like they were copied and pasted from elsewhere.
Recently, i discussed symptoms on a similar vehicle and found that over the 20+ years, the fuel supply hose was failing in his in tank fuel pump. This is why the tests are so meaningful. about fuel pressure and pre tune inspections.

I feel
i'm at a constant war with myself. i'm sure there's no drama going on in my world. but inside my brain there's a whole mess of nonsense that i wish i could clear up. no one knows about it, but i'm just making it worse every time i think about it. i wish there was someway to clear your thoughts & restart them. i'm getting annoyed with people, & they don't know it. which means i'm getting annoyed with myself for not telling them. since i speak my thoughts, this makes no sense. i'm making no sense. but logically i should tell them, since that would be my first instinct. however, no one can judge my thoughts. but myself. & i'm the worst judge...
