Not all of us are native speakers.
I'm French, my general understanding of english is definitely sufficient to fully enjoy Telltale games without waiting for a translation (I need the english subtitles though, so in case I don't get what is said I can still read it), but now and then, I may encounter an expression that I misunderstand.
That's how I ended up "glassing" the Woodsman thinking I was buying him another drink...thestalkinghead posted: »
that is very odd that people thought that glassing someone meant to clink glasses or toast, at least now you know never to say that you want to "glass" someone when you mean toast or clink glasses
My first playthrough I missed one of the clue's at toads so I picked up him and shook him, and when snow and tj saw me I felt like such a douchebag. This game does a real good job getting emotional reactions like that.
There are a few choices I regret, yeah. I agreed to lie for Beauty, for one, and now I'm wishing like hell that I'd chosen to stay out of it. I shouldn't have involved myself in that situation. But, truth be told, that's probably one of the things I love most about this game and The Walking Dead series--making choices and decision and then living with them, even if they out to be crappy choices and decisions.
Most people will eventually regret decisions, but you're supposed to.
It seems that only foreigners (i'm the one) got it as «smash the glass of his head». It was hilarious and i've intended it.Kryga303 posted: » [view original content]

I didn't, I took pleasure in ripping that guys arm off. He was a dick.
P.S I might be a bit of a sadist.. just saying.
i only regret not going to prince lawrence's apartment first Yeah same here, and I did have some bad feelings for ripping off that guys arm. Even though he deserved it.
i didn't really regret any choices, except maybe going to Toad's first instead of Lawrence. But that's why I replay it on my second save slot. just to see what's different
Giving Faith the money. I didn't feel bad about it, just felt like I'm just stalling the problem while enforcing at the same time. Not to mention I'm entirely broke which I found realized earlier
Toad's place. I misinterpreted the picture wrong! I thought Lawrence was already dead! I thought some Dracula wannabe was standing over what I believed to be a fireplace, thinking or something, Lawrence was on the ground dead with the dagger next to him. I didn't interpret that right at all!
Twin vs Woodsman. I think because the Woodsman ran when he pleaded not guilty and that really ticked me off. But then now that I think about it, if I arrest him then the twin gets away and then if he was the one I was walking home I still wouldn't feel right cause I feel I'm going on the wrong lead.
So yeah. Replaying my save file for the decisions I want not to mention I didn't feel right like I did in Walking Dead. I feel as though I should place a different part of myself into Bigsby instead of being the good morals/survival guy I was with Lee. I think I need to put myself more into Bigsby role. Touch on some old feelings.
Only one I regret is not going to lawrences place first. And just to be sure....um going to his first place and not waiting too long to pop out when you're hiding in the closet from Dee thats the only way that lawrence lives yes?
Yes. The best time to jump out is when he's closest to you.VampireKnight posted: »

Actually you can save Lawrence without having to jump out of the closet. You still have to go to Lawrence's first, but don't tell him Faith is dead - instead imply that Faith has gone missing [half-truth]. (For me, this was the obvious tact since it let's you gauge his reactions.) Then when Dee shows up, just sit back and see what happens. (And here you get to see a genuine reaction from Dee too!)
Personally I think it's the best choice since you get to see just a little bit more from both characters (which for me was enough to cross both off of the prime suspect list, although Dee is obviously guilty of other things) and best of all Lawrence lives.VampireKnight posted: »

I'm double thinking if I should have ripped that guys arm off or not. I went a head and did it , he pissed me off. It might hurt me working with Woody down the road. But you never know it might actually help too. That's why this game is GREAT!!

The biggest thing I regret is trying to pay for my drink after beating Grendal, when I already gave my money to Faith. I like my choices, but my attempt at being classy after beating the crap out of him and trashing the trip trap failed.
I have a list of characters in my discussion. You can add your own character refs as well.jameshodge posted: » [view original content]
One thing I've really been wondering about is what you decide to tell Beast. I decided not to get into it, I figured I'd find out later or just get myself into deep shit by lying. I mean, Beauty didn't want Bigby to tell him, and normally I would respect that. Still, after seeing the end of episode 1, I'm worried that Beauty might be the next victim.
I regretted visiting Toad first. The way he was talking over the phone, it sounded like he was in danger. I changed it up and went to save Lawrence. When I saw the bloody knife in the mirror, I thought "this guy's about to die or already did". Also, I didn't think it was that hard to catch all the lies, first try. The last choice, threatening him or calling him out on his lies, I think was intended to poke the player. Would you be able to keep calm, or would you rather just get rough and learn what's up without wasting time?
@daedahl: I thought D was gonna die or get put in the hospital. I'll go give that a try.
The Trip Trap
I'll play through again some other time and rip off Grendel's arm just to see how awesome Bigby is, but I decided against that the first time because the Woodsman spoke up, and I don't believe he did it. Either way, I didn't pay for the drink. She sided with Grendel and even helped him, that's bad for business. I gave her the STARE.
The Wire
The Woodsman was completely ignorant of what was going on. He wasn't laying low, he didn't know or think Bigby was coming, and off the bat he starts rambling about the day he and Bigby first met at Red's grandmother's house. And then he was confronted with the death of Faith, and he loses it, which makes me think Crane really isn't the right man for whatever job he has. His alibi fits too, he just stumbled down the street to the Trip Trap. Grendel's an upstanding citizen, despite his hate for the law. He and Holly were upset that Crane doesn't give two shits about Holly's sister, and were just taking it out on Bigby. If they knew or thought that the Woodsman killed Faith, they would probably feel betrayed rather than stick up for him. The photo in the bar really shows that they're good friends with him.
D and Dum on the other hand, they know something, but I doubt they're involved with the murder.
@Zeek: That's awesome.
Thanks, I didn't know that; however, although I'll try this as soon as I can, I believe Prince Lawrence may do something bad to himself if you told him something else, other than the truth.

I regretted so many choices I made - I regretted promising Beauty I would not tell Beast and I ended up telling Beast (don't ask, I wasn't thinking clearly), I regretted smacking poor ol' Toad. I had the option of hitting him or investigate more. I thought I investigated as much as I could and I thought hitting him was the only thing I could do. I'm a non-violent person in real life and I hated doing that so much. Plus I scared Toad Jr And then, once I found out I could save Prince Lawrence if I went to his place first, I regretted going to Toad's first.
So, in my second playthrough I kept silent to both Beauty and Beast, I went to Lawrence's place first so I could save him, and I did, and at Toad's I didn't smack the poor guy.
Yeah, I replayed the whole game to correct my choices. If I didn't, I wouldn't have felt good about it.
Did anyone chop off that guys arm in the pub? I did regretted it then thought no they now know who is boss. But I may need them in the future what did everyone else do?
i regret visiting the toads earlier than the prince.....!!
The only one i really regret is not taking Dee but taking Woody instead, as he could possibly be the culprit. I guess I'll just have to see next episode.
i regret nothing serious but being a dick to beast, with the silence option. Still hilarious tho
And I thought I was going to have sex with Snow White :<
I regret going to Toad's first and I regret intimidating Toad instead of catching him in his lies. Obviously I had a second (not as canon :P) playthrough in the second save-file where I played the nice guy and rectified all of this.
And then I had a mean guy play through, boy was that one fun.
lol. . . . I'm going to hell for laughing at that though :PJenPie posted: » [view original content]
I wanted to go after Dee, because we didn't knew a lot about him. Woody seemed talking the truth abou being inncoent. But in the moment of the decision, for some reason, I clicked Woody instead...Virgil_Caine posted: »
I think the Woodsman ran off because he's afraid of Fabletown's justice. As for me, it wasn't a difficult choice at all : I was so … more
There are so many decisions I couldn't help not doing several of them. I think the tearing of the arm won't have a huge effect in the next episode, especially if you went after Woody. I never changed the first and third chapters. The only thing I did regret was not talking to Snow White while I was at Toad's apartment. I always went to Lawrence first and saved him by chasing Dee.
I regret slapping toad when he was not telling the truth, i also regret hitting woody with a glass when he was talking about his past.
I had to play the game through twice. Once tying to be a nice guy, save the prince and that only fights when I need to like myself and I didn't rip of grendal's arm. The other a dick to everyone I knew deserved it, lied to beast, and save tj from getting hurt without scaring him . I have to say ripping grendal's arm was satisfying in the end.
Same for me. I didn't expect that so I quit the game and restarted the sequence as I was doing the patient man who try to avoid violence.LuffyLuffy posted: » [view original content]
You have to redo that part anyway for the achievement of Novice Librarian, so you can't regret it entirely.00000 posted: » [view original content]
In my original play-through, I regretted not going to Lawrence's first when I discovered he was dead - even more so when I got to the end and discovered I could've saved him. I immediately started my replay, and am now pleased with my choices.
I don't regret giving Faith the money - Even though she ends up dead regardless, I still think it was a good choice.
I don't regret lying to Beast - I feel comfortable keeping Beauty's secret, even if I don't know what it is. I don't think she'd ever do anything to outrightly hurt him. Even if it is another Faith-Lawrence situation, I still think the right choice is be on her side.
I don't regret not tearing out Grendel's Arm - He may be a dick, but I just didn't see why the fight needed to go there, especially since my dialogue choice we more indicative of just trying to ignore him and pursue the investigation with Woody.
I don't regret going after Dee - Honestly? I never thought that Woody had anything he could tell me. At best, I thought he could maybe tell me something by accident, but I don't think he knows what is and isn't useful to my character in this investigation, and I don't think he'd tell me on purpose even if he could. Dee, on the other hand, i thought would be a much more promising well of knowledge. Not only did I not know why he was involved in this whole mess, but he seemed to be the better shot at catching my killer.

"They covet these relationships with the publicists, and as a result they don't say negative things about the celebrities, something like a famous person getting caught cheating, whereas we don't have any such relationships," he explained.Although the pub isn't necessarily beholden to PR pros, said Heidenry, getting on his team's good side can sometimes work in your favor. "If a publicist wants to serve their clients, they should have a good relationship with us, because, frankly, we do have stories on certain people that we hold, because we like the relationship with the publicist and we've done Q&A with the celebrity in the past or photo shoots with them," he said.

Thank chef Alan Jackson's three daughters, ages 8, 10 and 18, in part for the runaway success of his Lemonade restaurants. What began as a convenient marketplace type eatery on Beverly next to the super deluxe WeHo Bristol Farms is now a veritable local chain. OK, maybe still a chain-ette, but with 12 locations (plus Studio City coming soon), Jackson's concept has obviously resonated with hungry and health as well as convenience-minded Angelenos. The large selection of ready-to-eat dishes that are both produce and protein-oriented — or you can opt for plain mac n' cheese in the hot food section — in bright, cheerful, and smartly designed settings by Ilan Dei makes Lemonade pretty darn family-friendly, too. (To wit: Our conversation just the other day at the Larchmont location included the observation, "I really like this restaurant," followed by an enthusiastic, "Me too!")
Consider it a very contemporary play on the old cafeteria concept, in the best sense of that tradition. Travelers who fly on Delta via LAX are grateful for its existence. L.A. native Jackson also has an extremely useful cookbook coming out this fall co-authored with JoAnn Cianciulli. And following this Q&A is recipe for delish cucumber mint lemonade, so enjoy the beverage on its own refreshing merits, or spike it with some tequila in honor of National Lemonade Day, August 20th. Also on that date, all of Lemonade's lemonade proceeds will be donated to the Painted Turtle camp programs.
How did your perspective as a dad shape the concept of Lemonade?
I no longer think of center of the plate cooking where protein was the primary component. My kids have made me think of how every person has different tastes and likes, and we do more a family way of eating. Like last weekend it was, "pass the bowl of quinoa with hazelnuts," and one loves the fish with oven-roasted tomato and wilted basil. We do a more communal kind of eating.
Do you make them their own dishes?
No! I cook to my own tastes and hope they like it!
But do each of your kids have different tastes, and specific likes and dislikes?
Each kid has a different palate. They all do, everyone [including adults]. A lot of it is age, and lot of it is who they are. That's genesis of the concept, that is kind of marketplace where people can find that what they like to eat.
Pre Lemonade, as a chef I would go home, and think about what's for dinner, it was always a struggle. With things to take-out, I couldn't find a food compared to what I'd cook at home, or was in the fridge or what I'd have at work. I wanted to create an outpost for people to get the type of food I want for my family. As a white tablecloth chef, how many times week can you eat foie gras?
So it's everyday food. Stuff I wish I had in my fridge that would cost me four times as much to make as it would to get at the counter at Lemonade, and then I don't have to make it at home. At home I might not use a whole broccoli stem, but I'm going to turn it into a soup at the restaurant.
The food industry is all about minimizing waste anyway, right?
Well, that's not the only driving force. Time is a big issue, and the effort to cook at home really is difficult. [It's about] finding a place that as a chef I would want to take home. And we're certainly doing vegetables in a different way than every day home cooking. I think some of the greatest tings about cooking at home was you don't have access to all the tools and the larder you might have at a restaurant kitchen. You become very creative at home. You look in your pantry, and say, I have [that thing]. It's a great place for me to invent, and the kids love to get involved.
We have a fig tree that's the first part of the season. Our tree gets two pushes, one whole crop now, and one at the end of the summer. Last night I sent my kids out to get figs. I had avocados from my friend Victorian Pierson's tree and my kids grew butter lettuce from seedlings. So we had had figs, avocados, and homegrown butter lettuce — and they were very much part of that process.
Do your kids cook?
I have one that likes to get involved, and one that likes to eat.
How did the cookbook come about?
It was a natural outgrowth. It's the kind of book my wife Heidi would dog-ear and have on the kitchen counter. It's utilitarian. It's an easy book to cook from. They're recipes you can do ahead, or you can do last minute. They're picnic-friendly, and you can add them to a BBQ. You can do all sorts of things. JoAnn [Cianciulli] has worked hard to showcase how recipes intertwine with each other.
Cucumber Mint Lemonade
2 hothouse cucumbers, coarsely chopped (about 2½ cups)
1½ cups coarsely chopped fresh mint
1 cup baker's (fine) sugar
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (About 10 lemons)
3 cups water
Ice, for serving
Makes 2 Quarts
In a blender, combine the cucumbers, mint, sugar, and lemon juice. You may need to press down the mixture a little, as the blender will be pretty full. Pulse the cucumber mixture a few times then blend on high speed for 1 minute until the cucumbers breakdown and are smooth. The cucumbers are watery, so the mixture won't be too thick.
Strain the cucumber puree through a fine-mesh sieve and into a pitcher, pressing the solids through with the back of the spoon; you should have about 5 cups. Pour in the water, stirring with a wooden spoon until the cucumber puree fully dissolves and mixes thoroughly with the water. Serve over ice.

Online Backup for ABBYY
Content is what makes a document hold value in business today. However, it is not always enough to simply produce quality content. Formatting is essential to conveying the message that the document contains. For example, a business card printed on regular letterhead paper simply will not work — it defies the functionality of the intended goal of the business card. Furthermore, today's world is digital, relying on electronic data to collaborate and excel in productivity. In order to remain competitive, organizations are finding that teamwork needs better tools to foster success.
ABBYY is a company that gives companies the ability to harness the content in every form, whether a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or a handcrafted record. Originally known as BIT Software until 1997, they were originally formed in Moscow, Russia in 1989. Today, more than 1000 people are employed by ABBYY throughout 14 global offices in Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. Their teams are involved in developing applicable solutions for business through research of business data gathered from services to their clientele. The analytics professionals have gathered from the average ABBYY customer forms about 9.3 billion pages of documents a year. Collectively, their solutions save customers around 5 billion dollars and about 970 million hours over a year's time.
Solutions from ABBYY allow customers to convert information from paper documents to electronic media through their service, Paper to SharePoint. Highly connected collaboration tools such as Microsoft SharePoint are essential in business today as paper has become obsolete for practical use in ultra-fast working environments.

Ecological Requirements
Maize can grow on a wide range of soils though it performs best in well drained and well aerated loam or silty loams or alluvial soils with a pH of 5.5 – 7. It is intolerant of water logging.
It can grow in a wide range of agro-ecological zones in Kenya ranging from 0-2200 M Above Sea Level depending on variety. Very low or high altitudes results in poor yields.
The optimum temperatures for good yields is 300C. Cold conditions extends the maturity period whereas high temperatures lower the yields.
Maize grows well with 600 – 900mm of rainfall. The rainfall should be well distributed throughout the growing period. The rainfall is most critical at flowering and silking stage. Drought at flowering time interferes with pollination and drastically reduces yield. Towards harvesting, dry conditions are required to facilitate drying of the grain.

Dead at the Dealine
Due to the new collective bargaining agreement, this year saw more teams play it cautious at the trade deadline then ever before. Scared of hitting the luxury tax threshold, most contending teams stood pat and will be heading into the playoffs without any marquee additions. Below is a list of the Top 20 free agents this summer.
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Trade Deadline News & Notes
The NBA was back in session last night at teams took to the floor for the first time since the All-Star break. With the trade deadline approaching on Thursday, there is a huge buzz around the league as everyone tries to figure out which big names are moving where. The big piece on the block this year is Josh Smith. His movement could have massive implications to both conferences and will certainly effect the rest of the trade market. Scenarios have him ending up in San Antonio or Brooklyn, but without much in return as Smiths' contract expires at the end of the season. Only time will tell, but consider his departure from Atlanta near imminent.
Other big name players who have been in heavy trade buzz include Eric Bledsoe, Paul Millsap, JJ Redick, DeJuan Blair, Monta Ellis, and Marcin Gortat. Then you have teams like the Knicks, Raptors, Sixers, Bucks, Suns, Timeberwhites, Clippers and Celtics who all seemed poised to make a deal and alter their lineup.
Whichever teams can pull off the best deals should give them an added boost come playoff time, as history shows that many championship teams added a missing piece to their squad at the deadline and it was enough to get them over the top. Will your favorite team be pulling the trigger by Thursday?

Roundball Manor visits College Hoops
The "Sleeper" Forecast Begins: Pittsburgh vs. Marquette
In an NCAA Division 1 basketball season underscored by turbulent Top 25 rankings, where many preseason heavyweights were shed from the Associated Press' radar prior to conference play (see: Baylor, UCLA), and when the month of January alone reports a total of over 30 losses among top-10-ranked schools, the pet talking point of analysts everywhere is the mystery of who will thrive in the NCAA Tournament? Without any singularly dominant team like 2012 champions, Kentucky, the results of high profile matchups seem to consistently favor team chemistry and determination over raw talent and individual playmaking (see: Missouri)…
While I don't necessarily expect any young, prolific, "Shaka Smart" to pep-talk an unknown mid-major through the RPI gauntlet into the Final Four and the hearts of Americans everywhere in the 2013 tournament, I'd wager that overall "toughness" will be the prevalent common factor among the four teams that roll to the finals… Quite arguably two of the toughest teams in the country, Pittsburgh (#16) and Marquette (#18), crossed in Milwaukee yesterday afternoon for a pivotal Big East contest. Conference standing and tournament seeding implications aside, any March Madness champion of the underdog or bracket-buster gambler that hasn't scoped at least one of these teams as a "Sweet 16" prospect needs to tune in immediately.
Although neither squad has breached top-10 status at any point this year, nor are they evoked in 'championship contender' dialogs among experts, Pitt and Marquette meet again after each has cemented a national presence through impressive win streaks that consistently boast 8-10 different players on the scoring sheet. In the end, Marquette defeated the Panthers for the second time this season, 79-69, to extend their home record to 14-0. Pittsburgh, who entered the game with the nation's 5th-best points-against average, allowed more than 75 points for the first time in 49 games. Their reputed defense, built in part by rebounding and preventing second-chance scoring opportunities, was nullified by the Golden Eagles' uncannily efficient shooting that racked 42 points in the first half, largely on first attempts.
|Marquette coach Buzz Williams
working his Rockettes routine for the crowd.
While's Marquette's vigilant defense and capacity for offensive windfalls could make them a menacing 4 or 5 seed for unfamiliar teams (think Butler in 2010), Pittsburgh is an equally interesting team to watch come March. Pitt's overall 20-6 record includes early season victories against mid-major tourney-regulars Oakland, Detroit and Lehigh (who knocked off #2 seed Duke in the first round of the 2012 tourney), as well as impressive road wins against Cincinnati and Georgetown. 5 of Pitt's 6 losses have come to ranked teams, including near-misses away from home against former #1 squads, Michigan and Louisville; the 10-point loss to Marquette was the first time the Panthers were defeated in double digits this season.
|Jamie Dixon mean muggin' in the steel city!
Upon their second bout with Marquette, the Panthers also sat atop the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio and rank 6th in overall assists, winning 7 of their last 8 games, including a decisive home victory over championship favorite Syracuse… Until then, Pitt had been overshadowed by a disappointing 2011-2012 effort that fell victim to an injury to starting point guard, Tray Woodall. Let's not forget that two years ago Pitt entered the NCAA Tournament as a #1 seed, and pillars of their current 10-man rotation- Tray Woodall, Dante Taylor, JJ Moore, Talib Zanna and Lamar Patterson- all clocked regular playing time on the 2010-2011 tournament team… After the loss, '900 Club' Syracuse coach, Jim Boeheim, may have quoted a harbinger of Pittsburgh's potential when he remarked, "This is by far the best team we've played this year." …Get your brackets ready!
NBA All-Star Weekend Recap
News & Notes from NBA All-Star Weekend 2013 Houston, Texas
All-Star weekend came in like a lamb and went out like a lion as the East and West squads put on quite a show Sunday night. The stars rose to the occasion and left the crowd in awe, as MVP Chris Paul led the charge with 20 points,15 dimes and the West to a victory. There were plenty of highlight dunks and alley-oops, but down the stretch in the fourth quarter Kobe stifled LeBron with some killer defense and the East weren't able to outpace Paul, Harden, Kobe, and Durant.

The same couldn't be said for the over hyped underwhelming dunk contest on Saturday night. When it takes a player 15 tries to do a "trick" dunk, it loses ALL HYPE AND STEAM. Kenny Smith said it best during the broadcast, that the lights and big stage were getting the best of the dunkers. He also said that this would be a Top 10 all time dunk contest, so take that for what its worth. There were a few awesome dunks, but way more duds that left fans wanting to see more. How bout some actual dunking? The old rules had players doing up to 9 dunks over three rounds, now each player has two dunks before elimination. Let these boys THROW IT DOWN MORE. Hopefully next year, some bigger names players will join the party and give the fans something to get excited about.

Tonight's doubleheader of Heat v Thunder and Clippers v Lakers are the defining match ups of the first half of the 2012-2013 NBA season.
In our first match up, we have a rematch of last year's Finals. LeBron is heading into tonight's game playing the best basketball of his career. Absolutely unstoppable. Kevin Durant is heading into tonight's game after receiving the first flagrant foul of his career. MEAN STREAK. This will be the first time the Heat return to Oklahoma City since they won Game 2 of the Finals there. KD and Westbrook are one year removed from that series, one year older, one year wiser, and one year more experienced. They are in first place of the Northwest division with a monster 39-13 record. Does OKC have what it takes to cool off LBJ and the Heat? The last time these two squads locked up was on Christmas Day in Miami, where the Heat won 103-97 behind LeBron's monster stat line of 29-9-8.
These two teams appear destined for a Finals rematch. It will be important to gauge how the players respond tonight, the last game before all-star weekend. This is a huge statement game, so expect a huge 4th quarter and a barrage of points from LeBron and KD.
|Westbrook laying the groundwork to build Brick City.
Out west in La La Land, it appears a monstrous power shift has begun to take place. The Lakers have continued to struggle, playing below average basketball all season long while Lob City has quickly ascended to the throne of 'Best team in Los Angeles'. This changing of the guard has altered the landscape of the Western Conference and is sure to make for one hell of a battle tonight. Lob City will look to continue their red hot streak after beating the Knicks, Sixers, and Rockets this week.
Tonight will also be a huge test for DUHwight Howard. With Gasol out, Howard needs to step up and play solid defense against Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan and show Laker Land that their season can still be resurrected. Expect Lob City to put on a hell of a show in front of Laker fans and hold on to their throne going into all star break.
|Stop smiling. Start playing defense.

2013 Roundball Revived!
After a two month hiatus preparing for the end of the days, word reaches Roundball Manor in our underground bunker that the world did not end, it was just the Lakers season imploding! It seems Kobe and company have been struggling all season long to get DUHWight on board and his head out of his ass. With his new role as facilitator, Mamba has re-invented his game to help this geriatric group make a playoff run.
|Mamba in happier times tea bagging the shit out of DUHWight
|Still looking for a reason to hate this guy?
|Yo this is bullshit !
As for the rest of La La Land, they all seem to be on board that Lob City is the main attraction these days. The off-season moves adding Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes, and Grant Hill have brought a veteran presence to an already talented lineup that is poised to make a deep playoff run this season. As soon as they get CP3 and Chauncey back from injury, expect the Clips to move up the standings and solidify themselves in the playoff pack.
|Lob City go BOOM.
|Born to assist others, Chris and Cliff Paul are making Los Angeles a safer place for basketball fans.
Down in the dirty south, is became official that the Hornets will become the Pelicans next season. No word yet whether or not BP will be sponsoring the "Oil Covered Pelican Bobble Beak Night". Too soon?
|Look at the Pelicans, Manny.
Up in beautiful Milwaukee, coach Scotty Skiles and the team have agreed to part ways after another sub .500 start to the season. Who else do you blame when another small market team fails to live up to above average expectations? Monta Ellis!
|"Who's the hell is the new coach for the Bucks?"
Over in Oklahoma City, KD and company have charged out to a commanding lead in the Northwest Division by routinely whooping their opponents. The Thunder continue to roll along with Harden out and Martin in. Expect another trip to The Finals for this squad, unless Russell Westbrook's fashion line gets in the way.
|Project Runway called this piece: 'Gladiator meets Boy Band'

Down in Miami, the Heat are still running the show in South Beach. LeBron James continues to get better and looks to be in line for his fourth MVP trophy. This photo here sums up their entire season thus far:
Other News & Notes
The Sixers are still awaiting the return of Andrew Bynum and his hair. Hoping the oft-injured big man can bring some toughness to the team, coach Doug Collins has begun to lose patience with his players AND the referees.
|"I will literally stick my entire fist up your ass"
Up in Portland, Damian Lillard seems to have taken the keys to the team and is running away with Rookie of the Year honors. Meanwhile, LaMarcus Aldridge and Wesley Matthews continue to play grab ass all over the same court.
|A finger up your ass is never a good way to start a fast break

The most fascinating thing is that each new information is greeted with a sense of surprise. Fascinating not because of the considerable amount of atrocities previously known, but because of the premises under which the "war against terrorism" is fought. Of course it is always interesting to see liberals cling on to their illusions. History has proved the so called "realist" school of international relations if not right, at least fairly correct over and over the last century.
When it comes to wars fought in the name of humanity, or to protect human rights, they tend to be more brutal then wars not fought under that kind of justification because it necessarily dehumanizes the enemy. Carl Schmitt realized this more then 70 years ago, the relevance of the passages below from The concept of the political today is almost frightening. Of course all this should not be seen as some sort of defense of the liberal metaphysic conception of rights. The notion of rights are, as Schmitt rightly argues, despite liberal claims of the opposite, political to the extreme. Spöknippet disapproves all notions of transcendent "rights".
At some later point there will hopefully be a text dedicated exclusively to establishing Spöknippets standpoint on rights. For now it is sufficient to establish that there has never been a crime to great to not be committed under the mask of humanity. Indeed many of the most gruesome atrocities has been committed under the mask of humanity. Let us now look upon what Schmitt has to say about war and humanity:
Humanity as such cannot wage war because it has no enemy, at least not on this planet. The concept of humanity excludes the concept of the enemy, because the enemy does not cease to be a human being – and hence there is no specific differentiation in that concept. That wars are waged in the name of humanity is not a contradiction of this simple truth; quite the contrary, it has an especially intensive political meaning. When a state fights its political enemy in the name of humanity, it is not a war for the sake of humanity, but a war wherein a particular state seeks to usurp a universal concept against its military opponent. At the expense of its opponent, it tries to identify itself with humanity in the same way one can misuse peace, justice, progress, and civilization in order to claim these as one's own and to deny the same to the enemy.Schmitt adds in a note:
The concept of humanity is especially useful ideological instrument of imperialist expansion, and in its ethical-humanitarian form it is a specific vehicle of economic imperialism. Here one is reminded of a somewhat modified expression of Proudhon's: whoever invokes humanity wants to cheat. To confiscate the word humanity, to invoke and monopolize such a term probably has certain incalculable effects, such as denying the enemy the quality of being human and declaring him to be an outlaw of humanity; and a war can thereby be driven to the most extreme inhumanity.*
p 54
* Pufendorf quotes approvingly Bacon's comment that specific peoples are "prescribed by nature itself," e.g., the Indians, because they eat human flesh. And in fact the Indians of North America were then exterminated. As civilization progresses and morality rises, even less harmless things than devouring human flesh could perhaps qualify as deserving to be outlawed in such a manner. Maybe one day it will be enough if a people were unable to pay its debts.It follows from the above that a war sanctioned by the United Nations has all the more potential to be exceedingly brutal then a bi-lateral conflict. What can possibly be a stronger argument to present a war as fought on behalf of humanity then one formally sanctioned by the "international community"? It is hard not to think on the sanctions imposed on Iraq, and also the annihilation of Iraqi troops retreating from Kuwait.
Schmitt finishes The concept of the political with some observations regarding terminology, perhaps even more corret today then when first written.
An imperialism based on pure economic power will naturally attempt to sustain a worldwide condition which enables it to apply and manage, unmolested, its economic means, e.g., terminating credit, embargoing raw materials, destroying the currencies of others, and so on. Every attempt of a people to withdraw itself from the effects of such "peaceful" methods is considered by this imperialism as extra economic power.
p 78
For the application of such means, a new and essentially pacifist vocabulary has been created. War is condemned but executions, sanctions, punitive expeditions, pacifications, protections of treaties, international police, and measures to assure peace remains. The adversary is thus no longer called an enemy but a disturber of
peace and is thereby designated to be an outlaw of humanity. A war waged to protect or expand economic power must, with the aid of propaganda, turn into a crusade and into the last war of humanity. This is implicit in the polarity of ethics and economics, a polarity astonishingly systematic and consistent. But this allegedly non-political and apparently even antipolitical system serves existing or newly emerging friend-and-enemy groupings and cannot escape the logic of the political.
p 79

Xero is a AUD $3 billion company providing cloud based accounting software to over half a million small businesses in Australia, NZ, USA and the UK. Xero's mission is "Beautiful Business".
PENSO developed a campaign around the theme: Switch to Xero. PENSO changed the typical advertising model, by creating a number of different messages that may appeal simultaneously – instead of a single message. These messages were: Switch from your current software, Switching is easy, and Success comes from switching. PENSO created 58 executions. Testing with big data maximised the marketing spend of Xero by identifying the most popular and profitable advertisements in any channel.
It was the most successful campaign Xero has ever run, doubling customer numbers in the five months from launch, from 180,000 to 360,000 users.
Siemens had two key issues: a) People in Australia knew very little about what they did - therefore were reluctant to let them pitch for large scale projects across Cities, Infrastructure, Energy, Health and Propulsion. b) Siemens had secured world famous cyclist and Tour De France winner, Cadel Evans, as their brand ambassador but had no idea what to do with him.

Our school has Saturday School sessions. This year we have had 7 of them. They are organized to get back some of the average daily attendance funding that is lost when students are not in school. Students come to school for 4 hours and have a snack break of about 15 minutes.
In our school culture, Saturday School is usually considered a privilege or opportunity and an enriching experience rather than as a punishment. There is an attendance incentive for students wishing to attend dances. We have a program which identifies freshmen students who have not earned a passing number of credits; they are encouraged to attend to get tutoring and additional learning skills as well as get some make up work completed. During this time of year many Advanced Placement teachers run classes as an opportunity to take practice AP exams. Some teachers offer Saturday school as an opportunity to earn extra credit.
Since I teach a lab class, I can only take so many students (about 35 or 40) into my Saturday enrichment sessions. I can't over fill my class room because there is just not enough physical space or chairs. Students are scheduled into my sessions on a first come first served basis. My class usually fills up in less than 24 hours. I usually have a waiting list 10 or 15 students deep. You might ask why I have such a following for what would normally be considered something negative. I think it is a combination of the extra credit available, but also because of the cool labs and fun learning activities we can do in an extended period of time. You can do so many things when you have willing participants and extra time to gather, process and analyze the data.
I love teaching during our Saturday School sessions. I really like the time I get to do science activities that normally could not be done in a regular 55 minute class period. I normally plan a lab and some form of study game or practice and analysis for a test. I sometimes use Saturday School for a chance to work on a project we are doing in my class.
Last Saturday was our latest event and last session for the year before school is out. Since we have finals coming up, I thought I would give students the opportunity to review past tests and compare their performance to their study guides and to practice with a final from previous years. This is where things get pretty interesting, because the day could have been really boring- even if it was informative. There was not going to be a lab this time, so I took additional students including all who were on the waiting list, so I had 43 students in my room. I rearranged the desks for maximum spacing and borrowed chairs and a table from the room next door, so everyone would have a place to sit.
I broke the time into 4 activities. Students reviewed their old tests and study guides. The were not allowed to use their phones to photograph or copy the questions, but they could write notes to help them determine what they would have to study most for the final. I gave them about an hour for that process so they could review a couple of their tests.
Next, I had them write practice final questions on a shared google doc. I have a shared cart in my room with 20 chromebooks and a small set of 7 different chromebooks that I had purchased with grant money. In addition, I have 4 old desktop PC's that we use when we need solo tools. For this activity some students had to share devices, so it was rather noisy- especially when I told them they COULD NOT goof around on the document. Within minutes, someone started a comment bar on the side and the jokes WERE going around which I allowed as long as they were classroom appropriate. It was a bit of a chore to format the doc in a useful way, but they LOVED the idea that they could watch each other and their teacher working on a document at the same time. When someone discovered that there were too many people in the document they shouted it out and several left so that others could contribute.
Then I gave them the practice test from a previous year's class. They worked quietly for another hour or so on the practice final and later, I gave them a key when they were done so they could check their answers.
While they were taking the practice test, I was organizing their shared questions into a kahoot session. I uploaded their questions and answers with some editing- to be sure the answers were correct and the questions were understandable.
Once all students were done reviewing their tests and checking their answers, we played the Kahoot game. This is where things get fun. The question comes up on the projector screen and students use their phones, chromebooks, iPads or computers as their responders. It is very competitive. Students answer the questions as rapidly as they can and the system gives them 30 or 60 seconds to click in an answer. Once all students have answered, the game tells them how many points they earned, what place they are in on their device and on the projector who is in the top five. I cannot believe how loud it gets in the room when my students play this game. The students find it super exciting!
When the time came for students to leave at noon, we still had several questions to go and they did not want to leave. So we kept playing until the end of the game. I was just astounded. The class left about 10 minutes past the end time on a Saturday! They kept wanting to talk about what place they were in and how much fun they had been having. We had played jeopardy before and they were never this engaged. They love doing the labs, but this was really fun!
I will have to think about trying to incorporate this into a regular class session more often- maybe breaking it up into 2 days. The development of practice test questions is a critical thinking skill. They must decide what information is relevant. They need to figure out how to pose it in a question format with answers. The idea that they can teach each other something and then check for understanding for immediate feedback is really intriguing to them.
Next year as I plan new activities for Saturday School, I will have to keep this in mind, since it was such a successful and positive endeavor. I cannot wait!

We began our Christmas season by inviting my sister and brother-in-law to our home to help decorate our tree. It was become a family tradition, and we look forward to it each year! Part of the tradition is that each of us has to wear a Santa hat. Here's mom, Aunt Karen, and Anne. (of course, Katie was missed!!!)
John's birthday falls in December. We celebrated his big 5-0 this year.
Then back to my mom's home to decorate gingerbread houses. This has become a family tradition and a beloved one, at that!
And it looks like Santa's reindeer were here and left tracks in the snow!
And drum roll, please . . . . . . . Christmas morning finally arrived. Anne was up at 4:00 AM with Kita!!!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.

The Aberrant War (2049 to 2061) was a bloody conflict which was arguably inevitable. After a short "Golden Age," novas became increasingly violent and antagonistic towards humanity, as well as developing progressively greater physical mutations and mental aberrations.
Eventually the populace ceased to refer to them as novas, their heroes, and began to refer to them unilaterally as Aberrants. Although a few Aberrants remained on humanity's side, the majority of them were not.
Although tensions had been escalating for a while (see Feathered Serpent, Space Brigade, etc.), it wasn't until 2049 that war was officially declared by the United Nations. It was the first time the UN had ever officially declared war not on a nation, but on a race.
The Aberrant War came to a head in 2061 with the destruction of the OpNet by Mungu Kuwasha and the flooding of Florida by Poseidon. Finally, China gave its Ultimatum: it had several orbital platforms containing fusion warheads. All Aberrants were to leave Earth immediately or China would use the warheads to destroy the planet and everything on it.
So, led by Divis Mal, they left forever.
Or at least most of them left. And some of those that did leave returned in 2104. But that's another story.

Should You Buy Life Insurance On Black Friday Or Wait For Cyber Monday?
Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday are commercial holidays and provide increased discounts to those shopping online in this period. The end of November marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season and companies are aware of that. In these special days you will find discounts to almost everything including life insurance. But should you buy life insurance on black Friday or wait for Cyber Monday? On Cyber Monday you will have the chance of getting cheaper online life insurance for all policies, including life insurance no medical exam policies.
Marketing companies have noticed an increased number of customers at the beginning of December. As a result, they introduced the term "Cyber Monday", to persuade people to shop online. Cyber Monday is the next Monday after Thanksgiving Day.
Companies are keeping up the pace with this trend and encourage online shopping by providing generous discounts to those willing to shop online. So, if you want to get a cheaper life insurance, now is the time. Underwriting is a long and tedious process and if you have a medical problem, it can be quite complicated and frustrating.
No exam policies are simple, easy to understand and they are processed very fast. They provide acceptance to almost everyone and provide the same benefits as regular policies. However, the premiums will be above average price and the face amount will be limited to a maximum $50.000 value. But since is the time for discounts, you may want to take a closer look for available offers. You might be surprised by the prices that are offered on Cyber Monday.
You will gain money and time by shopping online. Analyze you medical condition, your estate plans and your budget and after that, be prepared for Cyber Monday. Do not miss the opportunities. It is once in a year and you must profit of this holiday.

It has been announced that Brie Bella will be facing her twin Nikki at Hell in a Cell, after the former pinned her sister during Monday Night Raw this week to win the six-woman tag match.
During the WWE.com exclusive video, Brie was being interviewed by Renee Young about securing the win during last night's episode of Raw, pointing out that this proved she is the "better Bella" before Nikki stormed in to interrupt.

Twin trouble
An understandably angry Nikki then announced when she planned to seek revenge against Daniel Bryan's wife, stating:
"You're right, Brie, this isn't even close to being over. But, you know what, I talked to my best friend Stephanie McMahon tonight, and we now have a match at Hell in a Cell pay-per-view..."
This news comes following an on-going feud between the Bella Twins, which has seen both Daniel Bryan and authority members Triple H and Stephanie McMahon getting involved.
Nikki continued to explain what is on the line for the pair's match which is set to take place at the event on Sunday 26th October:
"Oh, I know it is fantastic...because the loser in our match? Is going to be the winner's bitch for the next month."
Divas division
The Divas division of WWE is one which has noticeably struggled in recent time, with the industry seeming to have a problem with maintaining an exciting story line to keep the WWE Universe interested with the current Divas its roster has.
The thought of what this match will result in therefore is not something which will continue to keep many WWE fans intrigued for a long time, but the battle itself should be a good one to watch at Hell in a Cell.
It is no secret that the Divas of WWE at present despite being extremely talented, do not quite compare to the likes of Divas legends such as Lita and Trish Stratus.
It is for this reason that the women's matches we do see are few and far between and when they do appear, are often short in duration.
The inclusion of members of The Authority and male WWE Superstars therefore becomes a necessity in order to keep the WWE Universe well-informed and entertained with the Divas division. It will however be interesting to see which Bella Twin comes out on top in 12 days time.

"Guaranteed. Period." That is the two-word promise behind everything Lands' End sells. Founded in Chicago, Illinois, this classic American lifestyle brand has offered timeless style for men, women, kids and the home since 1961. We spoke to representatives from Lands' End to learn how to transition into summer and choose the perfect swimsuit.
It's almost that time again—time to put on a swimsuit. Tell us how Lands' End is making this just a little bit easier for women.
We design suits for every body, with all the comfort, coverage, support and quality you expect.
We offer a breadth of silhouettes, including mix-and-match separates, one-piece suits and swim dresses; multiple levels of control technology; multiple bra types (including bra-sized swim!); UPF 50-plus sun protection; and a wide-ranging assortment of extended sizes, including petite, plus-size, long torso, D-cup to DDD-cup and mastectomy styles.
What budget-friendly styles would you recommend to our readers?
Here are a few we suggest:
Beach Living V-neck Tankini Top ($34)
This V-neck halter's deep neckline visually enhances the bust, while the soft cup bra shapes and supports.
Beach Living Mini SwimMini ($34)
This swim skirt has an attached panty underneath and wide waistband for a smoother, more comfortable fit.
Beach Living Mid Rise Swimsuit Bottom ($24)
Flattering fit and modest coverage, mix and match this style with your favorite Beach Living Tankini Top!
Tugless Tank One-piece Swimsuit ($39)
One of our best values yet. Its tug-free fit never fails, straps stay up, bottom stays in place and the classic styling makes this the go-to suit. Available in multiple bra types as well!
Sleeveless Scoopneck Cover-up Dress ($29)
Lightweight 100 percent cotton jersey feels extra soft and is designed to simply slip on and go.
Swim Tee (starting at $34)
The "it" cover-up that won't break your bank account. Plus it provides UPF 50+ sun protection!
What are some of the swimwear trends that were incorporated in your 2013 collections?
- Nautical: Plays right into our heritage! Beach Living captures the nautical spirit this year with crisp stripes and a variety of navy-based prints.
- Floral: Garden prints add a pop of sophistication or playfulness. Look to Beach Living, SwimMates and Seaside Gardens for this trend.
- Color Block: Color panels have an optically slimming effect. Our Plus-Size Slender Tech collection is sport-inspired and specially designed to fool the eye into giving you a longer, slimmer look.
- Vintage Inspiration: The subtle infusion of vintage cuts and prints, whether it's glamorous, sexy or sophisticated, is very important this season. Shop Shape & Enhance, Slender Suits and Beach Living for this trend.
- One-Pieces: Not just for coverage, the one-piece is a must-have silhouette of the year. It comes in a range of styles from petite to plus-size, soft cup to underwire.
What can you tell us about the new Shape & Enhance line? What kind of research went into the development of it?
Exclusive to Lands' End, the Shape & Enhance line took two years to develop. It features innovative technology (only seen on the inside) that provides targeted control at points of the body where you need it, allowing for natural shaping where you don't. For example, maximum tension in the tummy area firms your middle, medium tension at the side shapes hips and eliminates bumps, while low tension in the upper back lends flexibility and ease of movement. Customers love it so much we can't keep it in stock!
Can you recommend suits for specific problem areas?
Problem area: Stomach
—Look for swimsuits with shirring to camouflage the tummy area.
—Turn to prints that help to distract the eye.
—Discover swimsuits with targeted tummy control.
—Try control separates and one-pieces in Tummy Control, Shape & Enhance and Slender Suits lines
Problem area: Thighs
—Go for coverage. Seek out swim skirts, women's board shorts or swim dresses.
—Options come in a variety of length and styles (clean and classic or flouncy and flirty).
—SwimMinis and swim dresses are the best option.
Problem area: Large bust
—Make sure you have the right support. Look for underwire and anti-side-spill bras.
—More coverage is not necessarily better; find the perfect flattering coverage.
—Draw the eye away from the bust. Try a ruffle or printed bottom.
—Scoop and square necklines provide great flattering coverage.
Problem area: Small bust
—Look for bra innovations to provide needed support.
—Design detail at the bust: draping, shirring, hardware at the center of the bust can create an illusion that helps balance your figure.
—Options with enhanced cups, molded cups, anti-side spill, underwire and every combination of each!
Problem area: Bottom
—Combine the above suggestions with balanced feminine bottoms.
—Flounces and ruffles help create curves while princess seams can help create the illusion of an hourglass shape.
—Draping and shirring add volume in places you need it shaping your figure in flattering ways.
—Try flirty printed swim minis paired with tankinis or bikinis that add shape.
Can you tell us more about Lands' End mastectomy styles?
We partnered with breast cancer survivors to identify a variety of swimsuit options that help women feel comfortable and confident on the beach, no matter the size or shape of their body.
Lands' End Mastectomy Swim categories include:
Prosthesis Pocket Swimsuits: All suits are designed with a soft-cup bra constructed for additional support; bra and liner hold the prosthesis in place with durable elastic.
Non-prosthesis Pocket Swimsuits: While women that are post-reconstruction may not warrant a traditional mastectomy swimsuit outfitted for prosthetics, breast cancer treatment and scar sensitivity and visibility are important factors.
Comfortable Swimsuit Bottoms: These are for women who have had surgical procedures and need more supportive and comfortable bottoms that smooth the stomach. Lands' End offers swimwear suitable for breast cancer survivors that simply provides coverage and comfort.
Are there any "it" cover-ups you can recommend this year?
Our Swim Tee is new this season and offers UPF 50+ sun protection. It is as soft as your favorite tee and incredibly lightweight—even while wearing it in the water!
What are some of your favorite accessories?
We love our classic, durable Canvas Totes. They make great beach bags. This year we also have over 50 beach towel choices in five sizes! All are buy three or more, save $3 each.
As far as sizing goes, do you have any tips for those shopping online or via catalog and cannot try the styles on?
—Using our online Swim Resource Guide, you can learn how to measure yourself to get your perfect fit. Locate measurements on Lands' End's sizing charts to find the corresponding swimsuit size.
—Go into a Lands' End Shop at Sears to try on a variety of styles. If a style or color is not available in the store, Lands' End associates will assist you to purchase the suit online at an in-store kiosk. It can be shipped directly to your home, plus you will receive free shipping!
—When in doubt, get a couple of sizes. If you're not satisfied with any item, simply return it to us via mail or at your local Lands' End Shop at Sears at any time for an exchange or refund of its purchase price. Everything is Guaranteed. Period.
Get $15 off $75 or more and free shipping at Lands' End through May 31.

I realized that I haven't posted anything since Monday!
I've been super-busy, (okay, yesterday I went to the beach, but whatever!), but I was able to build at least one bookcase.
It's white behind the bookcase because the backing is painted beadboard.
It was cheaper than the unfinished beadboard, and it was going to get painted anyways.
So now I just have to build another on the other side, add all the face trim, prime and paint!
I have an entire Saturday off (that never happens!), so I'm cranking out as much as I can.
So, when you build bookcases, they should be properly anchored to a wall.
Portable bookcases will sometimes have a strap.
Built-ins should be anchored straight to a wall.
You can't anchor it through the backing. Backing is generally 1/8th of an inch.
That won't hold!
You have to anchor it through the main frame.
I knew that I needed a pocket-hole jig.
Kreg is definitely the way to go.
I'm not a master wood crafter.
I just wanted two slanted holes!
The Kreg Tool site sells them for $21.99
I bought mine at Menards for $10.50.
It was perfect for what I needed!
It may turn out to be my new favorite tool.
Anyways, I followed the instructions (different placement of the Jig and the bit stopper for different sized woods), and now my bookcase is securely attached to the wall studs.
Thank you, Kreg jig!
