UFC 182 Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier Early Preview
The UFC's new year will begin with Jon Jones versus Daniel Cormier in a highly anticipated second scrap at the MGM grand at UFC 182. The first time they put hands on each other, a crowd was there to pull them apart. This time, only the referee will intervene if one man dominates the other.
But how likely is that to happen? It's a close call on paper in terms of performance metrics, but not for anthropometrics. The reach differential here is a ridiculous 12 inches, the 3rd most extreme in UFC history. Jones has the longest wingspan in MMA history, while Cormier would be considered below average in reach…for a welterweight!
Traditionally the longer fighter in an extreme reach differential wins 80% of the time, although some early observers are pegging Jones's chances to win closer to 67%. And yet the current betting lines are even closer, giving Jones (the -170 favorite) just a 63% chance to win, the closest odds of his championship tenure.
That's because despite the reach differential, each man has looked similarly unbeatable, and Cormier is no stranger to facing much larger opponents. Despite his continual reach disadvantage, Cormier has managed to dominate rangier opponents.
On paper, we're left with a very even matchup between two unbeaten* fighters, so I joined the crew at ESPN MMA Live to break it all down.
Stay tuned next week for more detailed analysis of UFC 182 matchups and maybe even some predictions. In the meantime, Happy New Year!

Crowe appeared as the tobacco firm whistle blower Jeffrey Wigand in the 1999 film The Insider, for which he received five awards as best actor and seven nominations in the same category. Crowe's upcoming projects include Les Misérables, an adaption of the popular musical in which he will portray Javert, Man of Steel where he will play Jor-El, the father of Superman, and Noah where he will play the titular biblical patriarch. He was educated at the Sydney Boys High School. When he was fourteen, Crowe's family moved back to New Zealand, where he (along with his brother Terry) attended Auckland Grammar School with cousins Martin Crowe and Jeff Crowe. "I was working in a theatre show, and talked to a guy who was then the head of technical support at NIDA," Crowe has recalled. in 1992, Crowe starred in the first episode of the second series of Police Rescue.

BT Sport recorded "terrific" viewing figures on the first weekend of its Aviva Premiership rugby union coverage, it has been claimed.
According to the broadcaster, the number of people tuning in was up 45 per cent on those achieved by ESPN during its first season of rugby coverage.
BT Sport said the ratings were also up on those recorded by Sky Sports on last season's opening weekend.
Last week's Friday night encounter between Newcastle Falcons and Bath Rugby averaged 67,000 viewers, with a peak of 108,000.
This was despite the game being broadcast at the same time as the FIFA World Cup qualifier between England and Moldova, which was live on ITV.
BT Sport's rugby double-header London Irish v Saracens and London Wasps v Harlequins attracted 77,000 and 103,000 viewers on average.
And Leicester Tigers v Worcester Warriors averaged 70,000 viewers, with an impressive peak of 156,000.
BT Sport will be hoping for a similar result this Friday (September 13th), when it makes Harlequins v Northampton Saints available free-to-air for all TV viewers.
The match - which kicks off at 7:45pm - will be available on BT Sport and BT TV, but also to Sky, Virgin Media and Freeview viewers via their set-top boxes.
In total, BT Sport is showing 69 live games from the Aviva Premiership this season, the first of a four-year deal.
As well as live rugby union on Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays throughout 2013-14, the broadcaster's coverage includes a midweek rugby show - Rugby Tonight.
The programme - presented by Craig Doyle, Martin Bayfield, Sarra Elgan and Matt Dawson - features debate, explanation and light humour.
Ben Kay and Austin Healey are among the regular guests on the show.

Custom Payroll Checks and Direct Deposit Advices
Feature Sheet for base custom check/advice printing programs
Feature Sheet for emailing ACH recipients a paystub, stuffer, or text message
Payroll Bulletin for NY Wage Theft Prevention Act (NYWTPA) requirements with typical working notes
Sample paystub NYWTPA-compliant with call-outs identifying key features explaining basis of pay, dates, etc.
With a BASpay Custom Payroll Check/Advice Printing/Emailing Program, you can:
- Efficiently and consistently prepare payroll checks and advices for printing in the format you specify. You are not limited to the "out-of-the-box" check layouts
- Prepare check/advice batches for printing on blank, pre-printed, or self-mailer forms - all are available on anti-fraud check/advice stock
- Print one check/advice form per employee, even if a partial check is issued
- Specify your desired presentation using data from payroll labor history such as hours, job, or project worked, actual payrate, benefits, etc.
- Print and re-print forms in a controlled manner in case of printing problems or in case of emailing access temporarily denied
- Present your compensation in an enhanced "service bureau" or executive "Statement of Earnings" style
See our System Diagram
This is a menu-driven program, run after payrolls are completed, that shows the operator the available batches in the payroll history databases available for assembly. Setup includes control of pay group, summary and detail earnings, and advanced features such as presentation order. Optional client-specific logic may also be included in the preparation of batches. An audit report of the assembled batch may be sent to screen, printer, browse, or Excel. Once the assembled batch is approved, the operator can begin reporting for that batch. In cases where uploading the batch to other systems or sending the audited records to history is required, one assembly process prepares all outputs for that batch.
Yes. See the Check/Advice Printing Feature Sheet, the Reconciliation Feature Sheet, or the Emailing DDadvice Feature Sheet.
Optional processing is available to prepare an advanced "Check/Direct Deposit Register" that includes employer liabilities. You can also request anti-fraud data feeds to banks or services such as "Posi-Pay" or Check-Safe." non-accounting use such as budgets, estimates, analysis, or what-if batches. Some organizations have variable pay rates or special requirements to break-out the basis for the compensation on the check stub.. Optional processing is available to client specification to meet these needs. Some organizations want or need to show (or conditionally not show) paid time off balances, employer costs, benefits, messages, or double signatures. Optional processing is available to client specification to fulfill these requirements too.
See the Feature Sheet.
BAS programs are designed to be modified cost-effectively. This happens quite often, in our experience. You would coordinate with us, define the new requirements, and update your capabilities. It's highly likely that you can continue to prepare and audit your batches as before, but output an updated or different form or data feed. Samples of various check, advices, mailers, and emailed stubs are available from BAS.
We review each order and coordinate with the client representative(s) to be sure what we provide meets the client's needs before we build and register the program for the situation. Our "Needs Analysis" and methods are designed to make this a smooth process.

How six weeks at the mercy of home carers left me petrified of old age: One woman's scarring experience as councils are attacked over care visits that last just 15 minutes
- Jeanette Kupfermann, 71, broke her arm and leg in the winter of 2011
- Her health assistants were late and would not do anything not prescribed
- She relied on 'disheartening' system for two months as children were away
- New report yesterday revealed majority of visits last a quarter of an hour
Let down by the system: Jeanette Kupfermann, 71, was forced to rely on 'disheartening' care workers when she broke her arm and leg in the winter of 2011
The winter of 2011 saw the road outside my home covered in black ice and snow gathering in drifts on my front path.
Inside, the scene was barely any less bleak as I lay on the living room sofa, a sweater over my pyjamas, cold, hungry and unwashed.
By 11 am, the carer assigned to visit me twice a day since I had broken my left arm and leg in a nasty fall was nearly three hours late.
The hot water bottle filled by another carer the previous night was now cold, and even if I could have managed to hop into the kitchen, there was nothing there for me to eat — not anything I could open with one arm while balancing on crutches, anyway.
The only thing I could do was ring my local care agency and ask where my carer was. 'She'll be there by lunchtime,' the voice at the end of the line told me cheerfully.
It proved to be a reasonably accurate assessment.
Sure enough, as midday approached, I finally heard a key in the door and a disinterested voice asking me if I'd had my breakfast yet.
No, I hadn't. But she didn't seem remotely bothered.
The unfamiliar voice belonged to yet another new face — although by now I was far from surprised at this. In the two weeks I'd been receiving care, I'd rarely seen the same person twice.
My rehabilitation package had been organised through the local hospital which had treated me after my fall.
I had been told I was entitled to six weeks of free care to tend to my personal needs. This would constitute two visits a day, of indeterminate length.
At first I felt positive and grateful that the state was to provide me with help so I could stay in my own home.
Then, day after day, a succession of carers who seemed to care not a jot entered and left my home after having done the bare minimum they were required to do.
They stayed from ten to 30 minutes — never longer. All seemed to have an inordinate number of appointments packed into their day.
Only a handful showed me any kindness.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that this could very well be my fate for the rest of my life should I be unfortunate enough to descend into an infirm old age,
The idea filled me with cold terror, because six weeks spent being 'looked after' through the home care system left me in no doubt that it is a national disgrace.
Fearful: Many elderly people have no choice but to resort to home care. But they are often left cold or hungry
It is a sentiment that was underlined yesterday by the charity Leonard Cheshire Disability, which highlighted what it called the 'scandal' of flying 15-minute care visits to the elderly and vulnerable.
In some cases, visits are so short that the elderly and vulnerable are forced to choose whether to have a cup of tea made for them or be escorted to the toilet.
I watched as the clock ticked past 9am, then 10am, as I lay hungry and cold on the small downstairs sofa
Of course, like most people, this wasn't a situation I had chosen to contemplate — not until I found myself at the coalface of immobility two winters ago, at the age of 70.
I have always been independent and active, and although I was widowed in 1987 after losing my beloved husband Jacques to pancreatic cancer, I have never felt particularly vulnerable.
Certainly, I'd never given more than a moment's thought as to what might happen to me if I had a bad accident.
All that changed a few days before Christmas two years ago, when I lost my footing just yards from my front door on the treacherous ice-covered main road that runs outside my house in the Home Counties.
I heard an awful crack and felt an excruciating pain, leaving me in no doubt that I was badly injured.
Eventually, a neighbour found me on the ice and called an ambulance, but once in casualty my worst fears were realised: my left wrist and left ankle were badly smashed, necessitating a cast on the arm and a special boot on my foot and leg to immobilise them.
It would be two months, the doctor told me, before I would be able to use either again properly.
With my children unable to help — my daughter lived in Kenya and my son, himself slightly disabled, was constrained by the treacherous ice and snow ten miles away — I would just have to cope on my own with the assistance of home carers.
To be honest, at first I was pretty gung-ho. 'I'll manage,' I thought.
No option: A report out yesterday exposing the poor system shows care at home may not be a viable option
But as I discovered the moment the ambulance had dropped me at my front door, the reality was that I was incredibly limited.
My left arm was next to useless, while my shattered ankle left me able to do little more than hop a few yards with the aid of a crutch — a dangerous business that could see me topple at any second.
My carers, I realised, would be my lifeline.
And, to begin with, it all looked so promising.
Some stayed just ten minutes. Few showed me any kindness.
After discussing my needs with a cheerful woman from the care agency, we established that a breakfast and early evening call would best suit my needs.
The very next morning, a friendly young lady arrived around 8.30am, and although she spent more time writing some kind of report than she did doing anything useful — an experience that pretty much typified every visit from then on — she was at least reasonably helpful, filling my hot water bottle, and making me a cup of tea.
'Perhaps this won't be too bad,' I thought, after she'd gone.
I was wrong. The very next day I watched as the clock ticked past 9am, then 10am, as I lay hungry and cold on the small downstairs sofa that would be my bed for the next few weeks.
I had done what I could — I'd hobbled to the loo and grabbed a dry slice of bread — but I had hoped my carer, when she came, would be able to help me get dressed and prepare some things I might be able to eat for lunch.
When she finally arrived, however, she had so little time that it became clear it was a choice between the two.
It was to set the scene for many of my subsequent visits, which left me forced to choose between incredibly basic needs — like whether to get my carer to help me get washed and dressed or to make me a piping hot cup of tea.
Attentive: This kind of in-depth care pictured is far from what Jeanette Kupfermann experienced at home
I found the whole thing disheartening. And what made the experience almost intolerable was the appalling attitude of some of the carers, who were downright unkind.
Others were willing to do only the bare minimum, constrained as they were by health-and-safety legislation, or because they considered the tasks to be outside their 'remit'.
On one occasion, a carer told me she could not sprinkle talcum powder between my cast and foot to soothe my itching skin because it wasn't prescribed.
Another refused to carry a dirty plate from my bedside table to the kitchen, telling me it wasn't part of her job.
The same reason was cited by another carer two days later when she declined to mop up the cup of tea she had spilled on the kitchen floor, leaving it for me to hobble around, terrified of slipping and injuring myself further.
One carer told me she could not sprinkle talcum powder between my cast and foot to soothe my itching skin because it wasn't prescribed
That same carer also declined to fill my hot water bottle, although she offered to stand nearby and watch me do it for myself.
The truth of it was that for many of the carers I was not a fellow human being desperately in need of assistance, I was little more than a name on a form.
Certainly, the idea of building any form of rapport was laughable.
I barely saw the same person twice in my entire six weeks in the system — which doesn't sound important, until you realise that with every new carer comes a fresh sheaf of paperwork that eats into the precious little time you have when they could be doing something useful.
When you don't know who is coming through the door, moreover, it can feel rather frightening when the key turns in the lock, particularly if it does so as late as 10pm or 11pm — many hours later than you had been expecting them.
I am not easily scared, but when you are physically helpless you feel incredibly vulnerable.
Meanwhile, I did what I could. I lived on ready meals, eaten at the kitchen worktop because I couldn't carry anything to the living room.
I became accustomed to wearing the same pyjamas and sweater day and night, while the idea of washing my hair became a distant dream.
There were, I should emphasise, a couple of carers who were exceptionally nice — thoughtful, compassionate and helpful.
They did what they could, and stayed as long as they could, but they were always pushed for time and they, too, were constrained by the sheer volume of paperwork they had to fill in.
It was rare, they told me, that a day went by when they didn't have to miss out a visit to someone.
Even with their best intentions, the notion of a proper conversation was just that. Most of them barely had time to ask how to put the microwave on. For the lonely, it must be terribly sad.
I was one of the lucky ones: I had neighbours and extended family who did what they could, so I never felt completely abandoned.
Unimpressed: Esther Rantzen has blasted a system which puts old people on a conveyor belt of poor care
Perhaps more pertinently, my situation was temporary — unlike the thousands of elderly and permanently disabled people who have no one, and who spend their lives at the mercy of their carers and their ten or 15-minute slots.
Having been in their shoes for just six weeks, I am not overstating the case to say that the thought quite literally breaks my heart.
It also makes me incredibly angry — so much so that as soon as I was mobile, I hobbled to the office of my constituency MP, Theresa May.
She seemed genuinely shocked by what I described, and promised to look into it. But after an exchange of emails, the trail went cold because I called it off, realising it wasn't going anywhere.
As we have seen this week, the situation has not improved in the intervening two years: if anything, it has got worse.
Reading the report yesterday reminded me once more how, in the blink of an eye, your world can be turned upside down, leaving you at the mercy of a system which seems woefully ill-equipped to deal with the huge demands placed upon it.
There are, of course, no easy answers — although my experience has shown me that it is not just about money.
The good carers are constrained by paperwork, while the bad ones — and there are a shamefully large number of those — shouldn't be there at all.
To make home care work requires not just resources or even extra time — though that is much needed — but an act of imagination.
We have to put ourselves in the shoes of the most vulnerable: to feel the fear and the loneliness they experience, and address that.
We all think it can't happen to us. But it can — and it does.

Plas Mawr Elizabethan Town House - Museum
Distance 3.84 miles (6.14 km)
At the heart of Medieval Conwy stands Plas Mawr, the "Great Hall", built between 1576 and 1585 for the Welsh merchant, Robert Wynn. This richly decorated building is an architectural gem, possibly the best preserved Elizabethan townhouse in Great Britain. It dominates the town of Conwy with its gatehouse, stepped gables and lookout tower. This "worthy plentiful house" is especially noted for the quality and quantity of its ornamental plasterwork, now fully restored to its original splendour.

Hare Adoption
Our journey of adopting 4 babies from Ethiopia.

Can You Help Get Three Kids Home From Rwanda?

A Testimony to God's Provision
This most likely will be one of our final blog entries on this blog (turns out there isn't as much time to write these days!) and we think it fitting to give as much glory to the Lord as possible for providing the money we needed in order to adopt. So let me share with you how the Lord has provided every dime we needed to bring home our four kids...
- Friends and family contributed to our adoption fund
- We received thousands upon thousands of dollars in grants
- Our new employer reimbursed us $16k for our adoptions
- Friends threw us a wonderful shower which took care of all the baby items we needed
We got Kaden and Makyra home and even had some money in the bank. We praised the Lord for his provision and thought we would move on...
However, soon after we brought them home we really felt as if the Lord was leading us to adopt again (See previous blog if you want to read about what led us to this decision) but this time I wasn't working and we didn't see any realistic way to fund the adoption. So, at first glance, this looked like a "closed door" but we just prayed that the Lord would provide.
And PRAISE THE LORD, even though for this adoption we received very few grants, He decided to use other means to provide this $30-$35k. Such as:
- Dave's employer again will reimburse us $16k
- There is a significant tax rebate for families who are adopting this year
- Friends we hadn't seen since college heard we were adopting and decided to mail us their tax return.
- A couple in our church got married and instead of asking for presents at their wedding, they asked all their guests to contribute money to adoptive families in our church.
- Our church also helped us financially.
So, in sum, the Lord provided around $65,000 within the span of a year and a half for two people who started off as full time students working part time jobs.
We write this because we want everyone to know that the Lord answers prayer and that the Lord is not limited by finances. His Word is very clear that he cares deeply about the orphan, widow, world missions, and so on. He is committed to these causes and he has all the resources in the world to see to it that the orphans are cared for. Often he directs these resources to those who will care for them.
Unfortunately, the orphanages in Africa and the streets of Africa are still full of children that need to be adopted. So if you are thinking about adoption, but are hesitant because of finances, let the testimony of how the Lord has provided for us compel you to adopt. It is not irresponsible to look to the Lord for provision, it is faith.
"For from him and to him and through him are all things. To God be the glory forever. Amen."
Romans 11:36

Updates from Stacey
I have some updates from Stacey:
1. Zoey has scabies and an umbilical hernia. Scabies are yucky, itchy, and contagious - but treatable with a topical creme. The hernia is not a huge deal, though it could require some minor surgery.
2. We passed Embassy! So Stacey and Karen will definitely be bringing the kiddos back on Thursday, 3/17/11 at 6:30pm. You are all invited to our Airport Party! (see below)
3. The trip has been very hard. Stacey has not slept barely at all due to jet lag and the kids have not been adjusting very well.
How you can be praying for Stacey and Karen:
1. Endurance, endurance, endurance - especially on the plane ride home.
2. That the kids would sleep on the plane ride home.
3. That Zoey would start feeling better and that the hernia would resolve itself and not need surgery.
4. That God would use this time to draw Stacey and Karen closer to himself and remind them of his love in the midst of trials.

Please Pray for Zoey
Saturday, March 5, 2011
The Results are In: Our Daughter's Name is Zoey!
The score? 30:11
We Need Help Spelling Zoe(y)
Zoey - this is my (Dave's) preference. Adding the 'y' seems to eliminate any possibility of someone calling her 'Zo' (like Toe). I also think it is cool to have a name with both a 'z' in it and a 'y.'
Zoe - Stacey's preference. This is the more common spelling. So, peer pressure I guess :)

Another Prayer Answered! Off to Ethiopia!
We've recently found out that our kids are only 9 days apart (Elias DOB 7/11/10 and Zoey DOB 7/20/10). We thought that was a fun fact being that their are very different in size.
We would love your prayers during this transition. Namely that our hearts would selflessly love our children at all hours of the day and night and that we would die to ourselves as we seek to serve and parent them well.

Simpsons characters offer hilarious advice for local graduates
Simpsons characters offer hilarious advice for local graduates
Hank Azaria, who voices many of the characters on "The Simpsons," brought wisdom and comedy to his commencement address at Tufts University.
Chief Wiggum offered tongue-in-cheek advice on getting arrested, Moe made fun of BU, Apu provided business advice, The Sea Captain took a jab at Medford and Comic Book Guy compared life to the Star Wars movie franchise.
Watch: Video from Azaria's speech
After the voices, Azaria told the audience he became an actor to try becoming other people but found that the best actors actually reveal something of themselves.
"Just please be honest with yourself about what you think and feel," he said. "Those feelings are called your instincts, and you ignore them at your own peril."

There are cookbooks, the kind of moderately useful publications you refer to every now and again when you need to make a coffee cake for the office party, and maybe also arrange in an artful display on your bookshelves—more style statement than kitchen reference. And then there are Cookbooks, with a capital C. These are books are so packed with information, innovative recipes, and mouthwatering photos, you can't help but flip through them, dreaming of your next luncheon, and you pull them off the shelf weekly to try something new. Jerusalem: A Cookbook, by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi is a Cookbook, and we're sort of obsessed with it right now.
Annie first got turned on to Jerusalem by one of her favorite caterers, Kate Baldwin of Kate Baldwin Food. Kate is just as infatuated as we are. "You just want to dive into it right from the start with the cover, which is padded," she says. "I mean, who's ever seen a cushioned cookbook?"
But beyond the cover's luxe feel and drool-worthy photo lies some pretty amazing stuff. Not only do the authors have a penchant for marrying common ingredients like oranges and parsley with exotic ones like sumac and saffron, but they also put a twist on some classic cooking techniques. Case in point: the Saffron Chicken and Herb Salad, which features an intense, sweet-tart orange sauce, almost a compote, combined with shredded chicken, sliced fennel, and lots of leafy herbs. And we could write poetry about the Coconut-Marmalade Cake, with its burst of orange blossom water, aromatic coconut, and ground almonds. "It's just so fresh and different," Kate notes. "It's not just a glossy picture book. . . . It also gives us a whole new spin on flavors and combinations that just haven't crossed our palates—ever!"
No wonder Kate loves using Jerusalem-inspired recipes for events, like the dinner party Annie recently hosted at her home for a couple dozen sales reps, who couldn't stop talking about the amazing meal.
We're ready for round two. How about you? What's tops on your favorite-cookbook list?

- The recent faceoff at Doklam is a message about China's ire at India building alliances with its adversaries in Asia, and with the US.
A change of mindset is vital
- Ever since the Doklam crisis began this summer, strategists in India have been hostage to what might be described as a "Little Wars"
- Military debate has centred around the prospects of a limited border war, or a protracted but non-violent stand-off, like the Sumdorong Chu crisis of 1987-88.
- The stand-off might, indeed, end with a negotiated settlement, but there are grimmer prospects, which neither side has considered with care.
What does China want?
- China's aggressive posture on its periphery, the expansion of military bases in the South China seas, the sharpening of territorial disputes with Vietnam and Japan, the enabling of North Korea's nuclear programme is not an outcome of the might it harvested during the 1980s.
- It looks like the legacy of Chinese insecurity born of the Sino-Soviet split of the 1960s, which left the country a strategic orphan
- Ever since that split, aggression on the peripheries — first delivered against India in 1962 — has been a key tool for China.
Sino – Soviet showdown
- Since 1965, the Soviet Union began to mount increasing coercive pressure on China — at one stage, even proposing a joint strike with the United States to cripple its nuclear-weapons programme.
- In March 1969, a contingent of People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers a Soviet border outpost on Zhenbao Island, killing dozens and injuring scores. The incident brought Russia and China to the brink of war, a conflict that might have led to the use of nuclear weapons. But after two weeks of clashes, the conflict trailed off.
- From 17 divisions in 1965, Soviet forces facing China in the far-east grew to 27 divisions by 1969.
- The threat lead China to engage in the second of its post-split border wars, attacking Soviet border guards on Damansky island on the Ussuri river — the first-ever skirmish between troops of nuclear powers.
Beijing's use of coercion
- Faced with a second period of strategic isolation , in the form of the breakdown of the Sino-United States alliance,China is again turning to coercion.
- Doklam, like other recent stand-offs in Depsang or Demchok, is not about a road: It is is a message about China's ire at India building alliances with its adversaries in Asia, and with the United States.
- Beijing seeks, through the threat of force, to instruct India on how countries ought to conduct themselves but, more powerful than they were in the 1970s, countries like India and Vietnam are unwilling to comply.
Way ahead
- Beijing and New Delhi must make the effort to engage in a creative dialogue about how a changing Asia's tensions will be managed, aware that the price of a single misstep can be mass death.
- The two Asian powers share common cause on several fronts, from globalization to climate change, and both would be wise to focus on cooperation instead of military brinkmanship
- China and India have broadly similar interests and approaches on a wide range of international questions.

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- A limited participant for most of the week, Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon was a full participant on Friday, as his team went through a light workout without helmets.
Gordon was listed as questionable on the injury report with a knee issue. However, Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he expects his workhorse running back to play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"He's feeling better and I believe he'll be fine," Lynn said.
Gordon missed most of the second half last week against the Kansas City Chiefs with a sore knee -- the same left knee he had microfracture surgery on during the offseason in 2016 after his rookie year.
Before the injury, Gordon was having his best day this season with 78 yards on 15 carries, including an 11-yard touchdown in the first half.
However, Gordon was limited to just two carries for 1 yard in the second half.
Gordon has 146 yards on 44 carries and three total touchdowns, for an average of 3.3 yards per carry.
"I think today he just looked out for the whole team as far as rest," Gordon said about Lynn. "If it was full-go today I would've been out there doing everything.
"But he kind of caught us off-guard and told us he wanted to take care of us today. So better for me and better for the team honestly, so we go into the game Sunday fresh."
Right tackle Joe Barksdale, who missed last week's game with a foot issue, was a full participant in practice on Friday but is listed as questionable.
Tight end Sean McGrath showed up on the injury on with a foot injury Friday and also is questionable, along with linebacker Hayes Pullard (knee).
Rookie receiver Mike Williams was a limited participant with a back issue, but remains out.
"He looked good running the ball," Lynn said about Williams. "He's been in the playbook the whole time, so he's not that far behind mentally. We just have to get him caught up physically."

If you need leads and you need them now, a Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising & Marketing Campaign is the way to go. Media Evolution is a Gold Coast Digital Marketing Company specialising in PPC Online Advertising. In as little as 24 hours, we can generate a flow of high quality leads eager to do business with you.
What is Pay Per Click – PPC Advertising?
Pay Per Click Advertising, or PPC for short, is a method of lead generation that involves placing an advert in search results or on another website and paying the host website every time the ad is clicked. Leads generated from PPC are often referred to as 'paid-for' leads, in the sense that you are 'buying' visits to your site instead of earning them organically, as you would with SEO.
Why should you choose a PPC Advertising Agency?
PPC (Pay Per Click) Marketing is one of the quickest, most cost-effective ways to drive new customers to your website. You only pay when your ad is clicked, so you are being charged for solid leads and nothing else. When PPC is done correctly as part of a fully-optimised sales funnel, the profit to be gained from converting those leads far outweighs the small fee you paid to obtain them, offering an excellent return on investment.
What to expect from Media Evolution
At Media Evolution, we do PPC Advertising differently. We know that your business needs are unique, which is why we begin every campaign with detailed customer personas and extensive keyword research. We then create highly personalised, attention-grabbing ads and make sure they're seen by your specific target audience.
While most campaign managers will stop at generating clicks and attracting visitors, we know it's not enough. We go the extra mile, focusing on converting your visitors into paying customers. We ensure your sales funnel is optimised to perfection so that when your prospects reach your website, the conversion process couldn't be easier.
Here are just a few of the benefits of a Media Evolution PPC Advertising campaign:
With Media Evolution running your PPC Advertising campaigns, you can focus on running your business and delighting your customers, safe in the knowledge that your marketing is in good hands. Get in touch today and let's discuss how we can use PPC to start driving relevant, targeted traffic to your website.

Whenever you run into a knowledgeable or opinionated people, most often the latter, enthusiasts encouraging them to start blogging are not far behind, prompting a lot of folks to consider picking it up as a profession, a hobby, an outlet or a promotional asset.
A blog is a wonderful tool and, if used correctly, can help you achieve any number of those things. However, the one thing the Internet is in no short supply of is advice and, when it comes to blogging or social media, it's a real whopper. If you'd like to properly channel your energy and not waste it on useless tips, read on.
Hype: Just write
Reality: You need a plan
Whatever the reason behind your attempt at blogging might be, planning is a very important component in getting some return on your investment. Your editorial calendar, promotional efforts, design, social media presence will all have to be in sync with whatever you want your blog to do.
Let's say you want to blog about flowers, as a hobby, because you enjoy them so much. At first, you'll think Just writing is a good idea, as you're sharing your passion with the world. Great, but if you blab on incoherently, you'll find the world might not be so excited about it.
On the other hand, having a structured editorial calendar, following whatever flowers are popular in a particular season, or offer solid advice on how to grow and care about a specific type of flower, you will easily find people who share your passion or might want to learn from you.
Defining a recognisable, authentic blog persona is equally important, as it will individualise your blog and help it stand out from the mind-bending amount of content being produced every day online.
Hype: Stick to X number of words
Reality: Write well not a lot
Some say the perfect blog post should be 500 words long, others say you ought to stick to something between 300 and 700 words. The fact of the matter is, if you push for 700 words but have precious little to say, your post will be full of stuffing, making it quite boring to read through. If you try to cut it down to 500 but have some really good material for a 1,100 word post, you'll be slashing content in favour of satisfying some arbitrary number someone came up with.
The most sensible thing to do is write well-structured content that accurately conveys your message, however long or short it may be. If you can effectively say something in 200 words, there's no real reason to struggle and push for double that number.
Hype: Write every day/ week
Reality: Write as often as you can
Another so-called golden rule of blogging is to come up with a schedule, preferably as tight as possible, and stick to it come hell or high water. Some people can't even do their jobs under pressure, let alone be creative, not to mention that for those who blog because they enjoy it, it can't be that much fun to do when it turns into a must.
The point is to create good-quality content and if it takes you two weeks to put together a well-written article, so what? You think readers will stop going back to your website because you've missed a week? It's a blog, not a doctor's appointment.
Relax and come up with a realistic schedule you can stick to, which will help you not just with the self-discipline of keeping up with the blog posts themselves but also in addressing more time-sensitive topics. Whenever you're over-productive, don't publish the posts right away. Save them and schedule them according to the timeline you've set for yourself. That way, you've got content ready well-ahead of time, relieving some of the pressure you might feel.
Hype: Sell ad space to monetise
Reality: Selling ad space might drive readers away
The Internet has made advertising so accessible to brands that people either develop ad blindness or run away from advertising as much as possible. Blogs are often a welcomed respite from the ad littering that's become so prevalent on news websites and social media.
Selling ad space might seem like an easy enough way to monetise your blog but, unless you've got hundreds of thousands of visitors every day, you'll get a barely-there fee in return for flashy, horrid-looking banners that advertise products which have nothing to do with your blog and, more often than not, severely clash with your blog's design.
Ads on blogs can become very distracting, annoying and have the very real potential of driving your readers away. An even more unsavoury practice that's started to become more and more popular is writing obvious advertorials as blog posts. I've got nothing against advertorials, if they contain useful information, are presented as exactly what they are (ie. contain a disclaimer) and are not forcefully inserted into a usual post as a I've had a really weird day, oh by the way, it would be really weird if you didn't take advantage of this sale.
Hype: Comments are a measure of success
Reality: You don't really need them
Blogs are a multi-directional means of communication, add to that the common knowledge that opinions are in no short supply online and you've got the reason why so many bloggers turn to comments as a tell-tale sign of their post's success.
Thing is, comments are influenced by a wide number of factors like the audience, topic, post positioning, author, whether or not people have anything to reply ( stunning, I know). Even more so, since a lot of blog traffic now originates from social networks, people prefer to leave comments at the source rather than on the blog post itself.
Dig deep into your blog's analytics and use engagement metrics to determine how well your posts are doing. Look at shares and average time spent on article rather than the comments you get on each of them.
Hype: It will only cost you time
Reality: It will impact way more than that
The biggest lie ever told to bloggers, by other bloggers mind you, is that blogging is for free and, at most, it will cost you time. This often leads people to settle for free hosting, default or dirt-cheap WordPress themes and badly-designed blogs.
If you're serious about blogging and want to be taken seriously, you need to carefully select a name, buy a corresponding top-level domain, work with a designer to come up with the architecture of said blog and, once it's up and running, invest time and resources (yes, this includes money) in bringing qualified traffic to your blog.
There's an entire slew of reasons behind each of those items but that's a topic for another post, the essential thing to remember is that by using generic, all-purpose things the most your blog can ever hope to achieve is being average.
The Bottom Line
When reading a great blog post, one can easily think that it doesn't take that much work but, effortless design and easy-flowing content are the things every blogger strives to achieve. In reality, it takes hard work, time, money and truck-loads of research to deliver a well-written post.

English development
For 2,000 years, the early Britons spoke Gaelic and Welsh. You can still hear these in parts of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Then the Romans brought Latin with them 2 000 years ago.
For about 1 6000 years, since the Romans left. Two people invadede Britain from the late 4th century: the Angles, from what is now southern Denmark, and the Saxons. Both spoke Germanic languages which mixed with other Germanic languages after the Vikings invaded in the 9th century. This mixture became Old Emglish.
Only about 15% of Modern English comes from Old English, but it's a very important 15 % - words like be, get, water and girl come from Old English.
It got mixed with Latin and French languages brought by the Norman invaders in 1066.
This mixture was called Middle English, and it was taught in schools from 1350.
Around 1400, people starter to speak differently. Before this, the word name was pronunced something like "narmer", and life was "leef". London, where books were printed in English for the first time in 1476, became the standard model for English, and the first dictionary was printed in 1604.
The same language, but with lots of new words fron the Industrial Revolution and fron ohter parts of the British Empire, like shampoo and Pyjamas from India.
In some ways, American English is closer to Shakespear's English than the modern British English is, because the first settlers kept their language the same. Words like trash (rubbish in Britain) and fall (autumn) were originally from Britain. The USA also took native American words into the language, like tomato and barbecue.

Who says the soul has only one colour? Life is full of colours and there is no reason why one shouldn't celebrate that fact. The same holds for parties. When organising a get-together with friends or family, one can easily up the fun and throw some colour into it.
However, not everybody feels comfortable getting their hands lost in colour. We will give you some easy tips about how to colour code your party themes.
1. Pick one Colour
If you want to start of easy and don't have any other big theme involved, then simply start by picking one single colour. Don't make it too hard for yourself and choose an easy one, if you are doing it for the first time. Orange is fairly easy to pull off. It's quite natural and combines well with food and drinks.
2. Drinks
Prepare some orange cocktails, such as the Screwdriver. All you need is a glass, vodka and orange juice. Learn more about how to get your cocktails recipes right. Surely you should have some orange juice and oranges on the table.
– 1/4 of vodka
– 3/4 of orange juice
3. Food
Here there is plenty to play with, especially if you are having a cocktail party. Design your canapés colour specific. How about canapé appetisers with salmon? Chef Jazmyn Png and her canapé menu offer smoked salmon, cream and dill on biscotti. Or perhaps some tomato cucumber gazpacho, which can look orange with the right combination – chef Shawn Yan show us how.
4. Table
Take it easy with the colour coded table. Dressing everything is orange will be an overkill. Flowers and some decoration in your chosen colour will be enough to keep your colour party themes going. If you have a long table, place a few vases with either orange tulips or clementines spread across the length. Additionally you may want to opt for orange napkins and coloured menus.
5. Get your Guests involved
Ask your guests to each wear one piece of orange clothing. It will create an intimate feeling and give your party themes a special community feel to it. You do have to let your guests know way in advance, otherwise they will feel overwhelmed and feel already stressed before coming to your party.
6. Extras
Colour coding your party themes is all about subtlety not excess. Don't overdo it, but do distribute some extras around your party. If you go for orange, then candles (especially white or orange ones) will be ideal. When night transcends on your party, the candles will hold up the colour theme all night.

BOCA RATON, Fla.- Lynn University's lacrosse team is heading to the Sunshine State Conference Tournament for the first time in program history following a 12-10 victory over Saint Leo in the final game of the regular season on Saturday night. The Fighting Knights improve to 8-6 overall and 2-3 in league play while the Lions season comes to an end at 7-7 overall and 1-4 in the SSC.
It was a win-or-go-home situation for both teams as the Fighting Knights and Lions were duking it out for the #4 seed in the SSC Tournament. Both teams held 1-3 conference records entering the game. Lynn's victory earns the final spot and will face top-seed Tampa on Friday, April 24 in Tampa.
Two quick goals by SLU found the Fighting Knights in a 2-0 hole three minutes into the game. An unassisted Anthony Rainone goal make it a 2-1 game but the Lions fired back twice more extending its lead to three, 4-1, with 6:45 left in the first quarter. Lynn's Canadian duo of Austin Jerhoff and Austin Shircliff both tallied unassisted goals in the final minutes putting Lynn within one, 4-3, at the end of the period.
Mark Snellman scored on a pass from Johnny Gavin at 8:17 in the second quarter tying the game 4-all. Gavin dished out his second assist of the game, this time to Sam Turner, at 6:50 to give the Blue & White its first lead, 5-4. Brian Kiel scored at 5:49 on an assist from Snellman to give the Fighting Knights a 6-4 lead but Jake Gilmour got one back for SLU on a man-up opportunity with 3:59 to play in the half. Gavin had a beautiful shot from down low 10 yards outside the crease that slipped past the Lions' goalkeeper Dave Moore for a 7-5 lead that would hold unto halftime.
After the break Gilmour and Anthony Visintin scored to tie the game 7-7 with 7:42 to go in the third quarter. An extra man opportunity by the Blue & White gave Lynn an edge when Tyler Janvrin found Snellman to put the Fighting Knights back on top, 8-7.
Lynn went on to score three more goals over the course of the first nine minutes in the final period. First Jacob Van Leenen tallied an unassisted goal at 13:29 for a 9-7 lead. Kiel notched his second goal of the game at 10:59 and Jerhoff's unassisted goal at 6:06 gave the Fighting Knights their biggest lead of the game, 11-7. SLU tallied three goals over the next four minutes making it a one-goal game with 1:28 to play. With under a minute to go Gavin forced a key Lions turnover that gave the Blue & White the ball back deep in the SLU zone. Shircliff put the game away with 21 seconds remaining when he scored unassisted making it a 12-10 Lynn lead.
Vincent Genovesi was 13-for-23 at the face-off X in the win while Lynn's goalkeeper Nick Nehring made a career-high 16 saves in between the pipes. Tyler Briggs was a dominant force on the field collecting four ground balls and causing a turnover while helping the Blue & White to be successful on 11-of-13 clears.
Lynn edged SLU 34-33 in shots while both teams had 11 turnovers. Saint Leo's Jake Gilmour had a game-best five points with four goals and an assist. Lynn's Snellman and Gavin each had three points while eight different members of the Blue & White's squad tallied a goal. Additionally, four Knights had multi-goal games.
The Fighting Knights finish the regular season 8-6 overall and 2-3 in the SSC marking the first multi-win season for the Blue & White and finishing above .500.
Lynn will travel to Tampa on Friday, April 24 to take on the Spartans who are undefeated in SSC play this season at 5-0. Time is to be determined.

Another Whimsy challenge is underway over at the Whimsy Stamps Challenge Blog. This week we want to see your cards sparkle! You can bling it up, use glitter, shimmery watercolors or paints - whatever says sparkle to you!
Today's card features one of my favorite Whimsy stamps - the polar bear. It's a 6x6 card this time, and I already had a white square adhered to the card front waiting for completion. I pulled out some scrap snowflake dsp from my scrap tray for the mat under the image, and used one of my snowflake stamps to add some heat-embossed sparkle. I found some kaleidoscope iridescent ep at my local Fred Meyer, of all places, in their craft section. It's hard to see, but the snowflakes are multicolored as you move the card around under light. Plus, I painted the bear with some Shimmerz for more blingy sparkle.
I also picked up a trick from another blog on how to make your image hang out of the frame you're cutting with your nesties. I don't remember which blog, but I know I've seen it on at least two blogs. This stamp is a big image, so learning this trick was a big help for my limited collection of dies.
supplies ~ cardstock & dsp: stash, main image: Whimsy Polar Bear, snowflake stamp: Scenic Route, Shimmerz Angel Wings
Now you're off to the Whimsy challenge blog to see more inspiration from the design team, or you can click on their blog links over on the left. Thanks for coming to look at my card, and have a great Monday!

Email Fraud Alert received from: Anesh
I recently received an email with this subject line: ABSA Bank Rewards and I am concerned that it could be an attempt at defrauding me. Let me know in the comments section what you think, please.
The full contents of the suspected fraudulent (phishing / scamming) e-mail appear below:
I am a Platinum Client at ABSA Bank and I have subscribed to their Rewards programme a few years ago. Every time I fill petrol at SASOL service stations I was supposed to receive a cash back reward from ABSA Bank for that. Despire me having use my ABSA Card to pay for petrol at SASOL on numerous occassions I my ABSA rewards amount has not increased. Numerous enquires and e-mails have not been responded to. ABSA have the audacity to charge me R21 per month for a service that they have not provided me. There could be a Million such clients that have the same problem thereby enriching ABSA by almost R21 Million per month. I consider any company or person who charge a fee and don't delvier the promised goods or service – fraudsters. ABSA Rewarsds is nothing but a scheme designed to enrich the British shareholders of Barclays in UK and our local fatr cat directors of ABSA. Cheap skates must be exposed at the highest level and the public should protest and boycott ABSA Bank for this criminal activity.
The above email was sent by "Mr Buldeo" from this email address: email@example.com
I, Anesh, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from "Mr Buldeo":
I have copies of all my e-mail correspondence sent to ABSA Rewards, ABSA Platinum Banker , ABSA Actionline without any replies or courtesy calls whatsoever. They are nothing but a bunch of cheap conniving crooks.

NDACC Data
NDACC Measurements and Analyses Directory
NDACC Measurements and Analyses Directory
(Revised July 2018)
This Directory summarizes the operational status of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC). Long-term NDACC measurement activities (both active and inactive) are listed in Sections Ia and Ib. Sections IIa and IIb include NDACC measurement activities conducted intermittently or during limited duration campaigns. Some of the locations listed in Section II appear in Section I as well since they are also associated with long-term data sets.
Shading throughout this report indicates stations or instruments that are currently considered to be "inactive". This designation is assigned
A fundamental aim of the NDACC is to provide high-quality data suitable for scientific studies of the stratosphere and upper troposphere. The NDACC Theory and Analysis Working Group promotes the use of the NDACC data by all interested researchers. All NDACC data over one year old is publicly available. However, many NDACC investigators have agreed to make their data publicly available immediately upon archiving. The public record is available through anonymous ftp at ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/ndacc/station.
The use of NDACC data prior to its being made publicly available (i.e., for field campaigns, satellite validation, etc.) is possible via collaborative arrangement with the appropriate Principal Investigator(s). Rapid delivery data, which will likely be revised before entry in the full database, is also available for some instruments at ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/ndacc/RD .
In all cases when NDACC data is used in a publication the authors agree to acknowledge both the NDACC data center and the data provider. Whenever substantial use is made of NDACC data in a publication an offer of co-authorship will be made through personal contact with the data providers or owners.
Users of NDACC data are expected to consult the on-line documentation and reference articles to fully understand the scope and limitations of the instruments and resulting data and are encouraged to contact the appropriate NDACC PI (listed in the data documentation on the web page) to ensure the proper use of specific data sets. Those using NDACC data in a talk or paper are asked to acknowledge its use, and to inform the Theory and Analysis Working Group PIs of any relevant publications.

Filed under: News, Reviews, Contests
Kevin and I decided to use our last couple of review posts as kind of an acknowledgements and thank you section of our book in preparation for next Monday's final chapter, so here goes:
Thanks, of course, to all of our readers and listeners. You'll never really know how much your encouragement means. Thanks to friends who've listened to me talk endlessly about this project, especially those of you who have become regular readers and even contributors. Jennifer Edgar has always been the first to offer a compliment, and has helped with advice and editing. John White has continually reminded me to be true to our characters, and has offered great plot and dialogue assistance whenever I asked. Elisa Munoz has been available to listen to my rants day and—probably too often—night. Cary Norton has saved us from technical disaster on more than one occasion, and Stephanie Masters has always come through with comments and fan support.
I'd like to thank my family—my parents, Mike and Susan, my sister Courtenay, and Blaine Lautner, specifically—for supporting this project from the first chapter. Thanks to Jennifer Gorman, Jennifer Crabb, and Wendy Hiers for making my own high school years bearable and providing the inspiration for Stephanie, June, and Bryanna.
I really can't say enough about the collaborative team that helped make Some New Trend a reality. Seth Newell, your video was brilliant, a lot of fun, and got the project off to a great start, and your organization of our launch party—with a lot of help from Sean Kirby—made the event fun and successful. Drea Zacharenko, I couldn't ask for a better designer. Your commitment to incorporating our ideas and the heart of our story into a lovely and easy to navigate design provided the structure we needed to support us over the next several months. Jason Slatton, I miss our editing sessions already, and not just because of the Al's. You taught us so much about writing and about story, and I know your influence on our writing will live long past this blog. John Yam—your illustrations complemented our chapters better than I ever could have imagined, and were like a gift each and every week. They added so much to our project, and I can't thank you enough.
Finally, to Kevin. You've been professional, flexible, and supportive. From your very first line, I've been amazed at the quality of writing you've produced every week. Thank you for always being available when I needed advice, always meeting your deadlines, always being willing to pitch in when I was busy or sick. Thank you for your excellent edits and ideas for character development. I couldn't have asked for a better writing partner. I'm so glad we made this crazy idea a reality.

I had an expensive Kinetics that was OK. I now have an equally expensive 1up that I really like
it's simpler, lighter, more adjustable to different sizes and just works. Nothing fancy.
I have heard that rollers are better "training", but never tried them and never will because these are good enough for me and I'm a coward.

Basix is an online lending platform that provides personal loans. Personal loans can be used for nearly any purpose like paying for credit card debt, medical bills, home improvement, or even a vacation. Let's see if www.basixloan.com is a good choice for you.
Application process
There is no application fee, and you must be over 18 years old to apply. Each applicant must have a qualified bank account and a regular source of income. A valid email address is also required to apply for a loan from Basix. Loans are currently available only for borrowers living in Alabama, California, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, and Virginia.
Unlike most lenders, applicants with credit scores as low as 600 are eligible for a Basix loan. The application process is entirely online, and response times are fast.
Lending terms
The range of a Basix personal loan is from $3,000 to $5,000. The APR ranges from 25.99 percent to 35.99 percent. Loan length is set at 36 months for all loans. Basix makes lending decisions based on a variety of factors, not just credit score. Things like where you live, income, history of bankruptcy, or rental payments help Basix decide who qualifies for their loans.
According to the Basix website, a typical loan would be for $4,000 which you receive within two business days after approval. Payments would be $171.80 per month for 36 months. The total paid would be $6,184.80. Basix does not charge origination fees, prepayment fees, or any other hidden fees.
Basix also offers a 15-day grace period. This means you have 15 days to pay from the loan due date before a $5 late fee is applied. Interest fees still apply during the grace period.
Loan funding
Basix is a product of ZestFinance Inc. which was founded by Douglas Merrill, former CIO of Google. ZestFinance recently raised $150 million in financing from Fortress Investment Group. Thousands of loans totaling millions of dollars have been made through the Basix platform.
The application process is completed 100 percent online. Applications are processed rapidly, and loans are deposited directly in the borrower's bank about within two business days.
Consumer complaints and reviews
Basix has been accredited by the Better Business Bureau since September 2012 and carried a BBB A- rating as of December, 2015. There is not enough data on the BBB website to make any conclusions about Basix customer satisfaction.
On Supermoney.com negative reviews were associated with people getting preapproval only to be turned down for a loan later. Positive reviews name savings and customer service as strong points. Overall, Basix receives 3 out of 5 stars on Supermoney.com, but the total number of reviews is few.
Is Basix a good choice?
For borrowers with low credit scores, Basix is an excellent choice. The founders realized that many other factors can determine creditworthiness beyond credit score. Even though the loan maximum is only $5,000, a loan from Basix might be perfect to get you out of a financial pinch or for quick cash to start a business.
The interest rate on Basix loans is very good for the near-prime and subprime lending sector. Also, if you get a loan from Basix and pay it off on time, your credit rating will improve.
Compare rates and terms offered by multiple, vetted lenders at Credible.com.
