Bryce Young smiled when he approached fellow defenseman Curtis Corley in training before the Maryland men's lacrosse team's fourth game against Penn. Because Young had missed the first three games with an undisclosed injury, Corley asked whether he planned to return to face the Quakers.
Young, a senior leader on the No. 2 Terps' defense, told Corley, "We'll see." The next time Corley saw Young, the Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, native was wearing full pads and said he would practice and make his season debut.
"I'm like, 'No way, this kid's actually practicing,'" Corley said. "It was fun. I was like, 'All right, good, you're back.'"
Now healthy, Young is set to appear in his fourth game this season when the Terps face No. 6 Villanova on Saturday. Since returning, he's provided leadership to an inexperienced unit that lost All-Americans Tim Muller and Isaiah Davis-Allen to graduation.
The Wildcats, who stunned Maryland in overtime last season, are expected to test the Terps' defense.
"We've really got to communicate as well as we can," coach John Tillman said. "A big part of this week is we have to understand the personnel we're going against but we've got to be ready to play at a very fast tempo."
Even when he wasn't on the field, Young was among Maryland's most vocal defensive leaders. He positioned himself next to defensive coordinator Jesse Bernhardt on the sideline, screaming to let Maryland defenders know "who's hot and who's cold."
The unit responded by holding Navy to four goals in a season-opening win and Marist to seven on Feb. 13.
But Young's absence appeared costly in Maryland's 16-14 win against High Point on Feb. 17. The Panthers kept close late, and their 14 scores were the most the Terps had allowed since May 30, 2016.
Young's return helped the Terps contain the Quakers' attack. Corley said Young regularly yells instructions on the defensive end, helping Maryland get organized. He'll be among the first to notice if a defenseman is drifting wide, moving too close to the net inside or needs to prepare for a dodge or slide.
"It solidifies another guy down there who knows exactly what he's doing," Corley said. "He's a really great communicator. Having his voice out there, it really helps."
Young's effectiveness as a communicator stems from his preparation. He first reviews film to watch how the opposing offense plays and then focuses on the player he will primarily be defending, sometimes turning to video from his freshman season. Then, he works to defend each opponent's tendencies against Maryland's scout team.
Even with Young, Maryland's defense has been challenged. The Terps blew a 10-6 lead in an 11-10 loss to Albany last weekend.
Young and Corley anticipate the defense needs another game or two to mesh.
"We've had glimpses of greatness," Young said. "We have a lot of young guys which are asked to do a lot of things. They're starting to show up and fill those roles to the best of their ability as a young guy."

Interestingly enough, William Faulkner, a literary rival of Hemingway, co-wrote the screenplay for the film. This was also Lauren Bacall's first movie role, and marked the start of the love affair between Bacall and the film's star Humphrey Bogart. The story takes place in Martinique where we find struggling fishing boat captain Harry "Steve" Morgan (Bogart) reluctantly helping the French Resistance smuggle people off the island. Soon thereafter Morgan meets an attractive American pickpocket, Marie "Slim" Browning, and a steamy relationship ensues. The all-star cast also includes Hoagy Carmichael and Walter Brennan.

I am a minimalist!
I am a minimalist! There, I said it.
Does that mean that I'm weird? Does it mean I am part of a cult, a hippie, or maybe even a fruitcake? Nah.
What it does mean, quite simply, is that I am (and will forever choose to be) in the daily process of looking at the stuff I own, and the time commitments I make, and asking myself if I truly enjoy it. Is it something that I value? Does it bring me great pleasure? Do I love it?
If I cannot say "Yes" to each of those questions, then the fact is that IT (the item, object, or activity) will only serve to steal my precious time away from those other things that I was able to say "Yes" to. Which means that the ultimate goal of life enjoyment gets diminished; whittled away little by little by those little "time hogs."
At first it may not seem logical that acquiring possessions, or saying yes to invitations, would ever be a bad thing. Your schedule is filled and your house is full; but without intentional decisions soon enough your closets are overstuffed, your drawers are overflowing and so is every nook and cranny in your life: underneath your bed, in your car, and especially in your attic or basement; and let's talk about that garage.....can you fit a car, or dare I ask....two, in it? Didn't think so. Do you have any time in your busy schedule to just relax and breathe and enjoy life? Not if you've been accepting every offer that comes to you.
There is absolutely nothing fundamentally wrong with living this way!
But the real question here is this: are you spending your time doing exactly what you want to do?
If not, is there the slightest chance that you find yourself spending (as in with a credit card here....visualize it) your precious, limited minutes each day searching through all your crap for things when you need them? Are you spending (again.....visualize the swiping of a piece of plastic here, with a whopping 35% interest tacked on!) your time picking up, putting away, cleaning, dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, mowing, and otherwise maintaining the things you own? Now, which of those things that you are maintaining have you used this week to bring value, happiness and joy to your life? All of them. Some of them. One or two of them.
Congratulations! You've just taken the first step towards the self-realization of what you value most in life.
Next, take a look at your day yesterday and identify just one thing you did that didn't bring you very much real joy or happiness. Was it a necessary task (like taking out the garbage) or was it something you could have opted not to do (like going to the neighbor's for a get-together, when you really can't say that you love your neighbors and you've really been longing for some one on one time with your spouse)?
If it was a chore like taking out the trash, try finding the simple joys in that chore (because someone in your house has to do it!). Were the birds chirping when you went out to the trash can? Did you unexpectedly see a squirrel or rabbit? Was there a slight breeze that reminded you of being at the beach? Was there a stunning sunrise or sunset that at that exact moment only you were enjoying, in peace and harmony? Never thought about taking out the trash that way before? Try it, and see if your perspective starts to change a little.
If it was an activity like the neighborhood get-together example; while it may have been a fun time spent hanging out with some friends and acquaintances, was it ultimately more important than nurturing your relationship with your partner in this life? Would the world have crashed down if you had just declined this time? I can tell you from personal experience that it really would be just fine. I used to be the center location of my street's activities, the house where everybody on my street hung out. Now, I rarely attend any community events. And it is NOT because I don't like my neighbors, it is because I am being much more intentional and selective with my 168 hours each week. And more often than not, I have missed out on family or personal time more than I preferred to when those community offers came up. So I politely explained that I am already tied up on a date night with my husband or movie night with my children. And I get on with enjoying what brings me the most pleasure in my life – spending time with those I love.
And therefore I am living more intentionally. A little bit more, day by day.
The same philosophy goes for possessions, buying stuff, consumerism….whatever you want to call it. If you begin to think more intentionally about whether or not you really need, or love, that new gadget or outfit; you find that you don't as often as you once thought you did.
The next step: Going through all of your crap and getting rid of things you don't love.
Pick a room, a closet, a drawer, the space under just one bed in your house. Then take everything out of it. Go through it intentionally and put it into 3 piles (this suggestion comes from minimalists who have been doing this much longer than I have – check out Leo Babauta, for one). The first pile is the trash can: for things that are broke or no longer work or are truly just garbage (can you say, "too many McDonald's Happy Meal Toys!"?). Put them in the trash can and don't give them a second thought. They have taken too much of your precious time by either requiring maintenance (constantly cleaning them, or moving them around because they were in the way when you were looking for the stuff you really did need/want!). The second pile is the stuff you absolutely want to keep. You enjoy it. You love it. It brings joy and happiness to your life. There are no doubts here about "What if…?" What if I need it next month, or next summer, or if company comes, or if I have another baby or if my grandchildren come to visit, etc? DO NOT PUT THOSE ITEMS IN THIS PILE. They go in the third pile. The third pile is for any item that you couldn't say you love, you completely enjoy, you use regularly, you know you will miss if it was not in that drawer or closet. The third pile is the "What if?" or the "Just in case" pile. Anything you couldn't put in the second pile goes in the third pile. Simply. Just do it. Don't over-think it.
Not that you've sorted your stuff into the three piles what do you do? Take the trash can out of the room and empty it into the bigger trash can – get it out of the house, NOW. Put the stuff you love back, neatly. Look at how much space there is. Now you can see, easily, at a glance the things you chose to keep and you can find them when you need them. What a wonderful feeling. Feel the weight of too much crap starting to dissipate. It is so fabulous! What do you do with the "What if" pile? Put it in a box or bag. Write the date on it. Choose a time (30 days, 90 days, 6 months) and if you haven't gone back to that box to get something out that you needed, give it all away. Take it out of the house. Do NOT put it back inside the walls of your new, sacred minimalist home. Do not even open it!
Enjoy the freedom that this first minimalist activity brings you. Then feel the fire burning inside of you to do it again in another room, closet, or drawer. One space at a time…..become a minimalist. You'll find that it truly isn't a scary experience and removing the stress from your life of having too much stuff is a renewing, reenergizing activity.
Don't forget the most important step!
Do not use this exercise as an excuse to accumulate more crap, I mean, stuff. What good did that do you? Each time you are shopping (insert a bad, negative connotation here – don't do recreational shopping. Window shopping is evil. The devil uses idle hands….never forget it!)….where was I? Oh yes, each time you are shopping, if you find something you want that was not on your shopping list, WRITE IT DOWN – do not buy it right then. Make a 30 day list. Think about it for 30 days. Just the name of the item, the date you wrote it down, and the store name. 30 days later, if you still are pinning for it, still can't live without it, and have the CASH to purchase it. Then do! It is obviously something that you will love and that will bring joy into your life. So get it. Love it. Use it. And when it no longer brings you joy….get rid of it. Do not put it in a drawer or closet. Ick! That area has been cleaned and we wouldn't want to defile it with junk that doesn't fulfill our lives, would we?
So, let's say you kind of like where this article is going and you think you want to try being a minimalist. What can you expect? Peace, tranquility, happiness…..sometimes. Being a minimalist won't solve all of your problems in life. You will still encounter headaches and things that don't go as planned. That's not what this is all about. It is simply about being more intentional when looking at the stuff you own and the time commitments you make so that you can say at the end of each day that you did the things you wanted to do, that you loved your day, that your life was fulfilled, full, and satisfied because of your choices today. That's all. Enjoy!

Profound Blogging!
It doesn't get much more profound than this. This is the last post by a family man, and fellow blogger, who left this world at the very young age of 41 because of cancer. I ran across it the other day on the "Man Vs. Debt" blog by Adam Baker. It requires no additional words. Read it, really you should. The profoundness of the post, of what Derek has to say in his last words, should renew your desire to be inspired by the life you have today. And if you aren't, do something about it, NOW, not later!

Mind Alchemy - changing everything up a bit!
I am participating in an online 28-day course throughout the month of February titled Mind Alchemy, offered by Steven Aitchison. For the first day's exercise we mapped out our Wheel of Life, which basically indicates how you prioritize eight key areas of your life (health, family, career, etc) to achieve balance.
On day two we delved a little deeper into our Motivation Direction. This concept is quite simple, yet profound. Once you learn whether you are primarily motivated by the desire to move 'away from pain' or to move 'toward pleasure', you can start to harness your strengths and use them to drive better results (aka, Outcomes) in obtaining your goals. We are not always motivated strictly one way or the other, nor does our motivation for one specific goal have to be driven by only one of these two factors at a time. I discovered that, for the four goals I listed in this exercise, I am primarily motivated 'towards' desired results rather than 'away from' undesirable "stuff". However, one of my goals was driven by both types of desires. Interesting and insightful!
Day three was much more work than the first two days. We learned about our values and then allotted them to each of those eight key areas we mapped in our Wheel of Life on day one. Then we prioritized the values within each key area.
Steven had something special for us on Day 5. I was very glad it fell on a weekend so I could devote some quality time to it.

Yummy Fruits and Vegetables
Who doesn't love fruit and veggies? Do you love chocolate and sweets, too? I do! I was reading Leo Babauta's Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life and halfway through it there is a chapter on food. Leo references Brad Pilon's "Eat Stop Eat" book. I was curious so I stopped reading and went over to Brad's blog. A couple of clicks later, after reading one interesting post after another about food and nutrition, I found this fabulous post and was floored by the absolute wonderfulness of it - can't wait to eat like this and still lose weight. How simple. Wish I'd understood this earlier in life. Here's a link to the post. Enjoy!

Blog Newbie!
This is my first day in the world of blogging. I thought I had better get a little information to help me out so I don't fall flat on my face! I want to blog about useful items, help some friendly people out, and be, well...at least a little interesting. To that end I decided to look up some info on the topic and found this great book by Darren Rowse. Take a look at his book:

Our aim is to help improve the lives of domestic rabbits, not just by offering suitable accommodation, but to educate people on rabbit welfare and the real needs of rabbits. Despite being the third most popular pet in the UK, rabbits are one of the most neglected and cruelly treated. [34] This is largely due to society's wrong perception and lack of understanding of these complex creatures.
Our rabbit products are designed with a rabbit's needs at the forefront. Yes we are a business, but we entered into the world of rabbit accommodation not just to make profit, but because we genuinely care about these poor defenceless creatures, and want to make a difference in improving their lives. Rabbits cannot speak for themselves, so it's up to us to be their voice, and fight for them. We have donated many of our rabbit houses to a number of different rescue centres and charities, as our aim is to work together with them to provide better accommodation for rabbits.
We aim to commercialise kindness, not cruelty!
We have been spurred on in our campaign by the disappointing discovery, through correspondence with a leading rabbit organisation, that they are willing to break their own supposed beliefs to support unsuitable accommodation. This is an industry that is largely negligent in its responsibility to the welfare of innocent animals, thus fuelling the the ill education of rabbit owners on the real needs of their pets. Along with 97% of veterinary professionals, we believe that rabbit hutches smaller than a recommended size should be banned from sale, as they are inadequate. [1] That's why, after over 6 months of extensive research and Scientific testing, we've collated evidence from professionals to put together the Housing, Enrichment and Amenity for Rabbits: Technical Standard (H.E.A.R.T), laying out the minimum specification that all rabbit accommodation should adhere to. This Housing Standard takes a variety of factors into consideration, in line with The Animal Welfare Act 2006, to provide domestic rabbits with suitable, safe living space that caters for their essential needs, as set out in Section 9.(2).
We're making the H.E.A.R.T Standard Open Access, giving the information away for free, in the hope that it will stop stores selling inadequate accommodation, and encourage that all rabbit housing sold, at the very least, meets the minimum requirements set out for rabbit welfare and safety. It allows manufacturers/retailers to all compete on a level field and lets consumers know exactly what they are buying, whilst helping to educate them on the real needs of rabbits.
The rabbit information and advice on this website has been gathered and collated from external sources, and not necessarilly our own opinion. If you have any comments or disagree with anything, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Design a Logo
I'm starting a shirt business, and I've drawn up some designs for it, and I found when I'm on Photoshop its too time consuming for me and I cant finalize a logo.
The brand is called 'Primal Streetwear' and I would like to have the Primal logo in big writing and streetwear in smaller font on the bottom. The brand is to appeal to a skateboarding and trendy sportswear aesthetic so I'd like to have it similar to skate brands such as:
With the brand being called primal I'd like to have a very simplistic logo with no complex designs, I find that the simplest ones are usually the ones that are big hits. I drew up some designs myself that you might like that I can email. I thought it would be good to incorporate a monkey or chimpanzee into it. Or even anything related to the word Primal, things related to prehistoric times etc. And no more than 3 colours. Different colour schemes would be great aswell for different coloured shirts. If you looked at some of the shirts on the website 'Palace Skateboards' they have a theme on some of their shirts to make it look like a lot of stuff has been drawn on freehand which looks pretty cool, so if the logo had that sort of theme of having been drawn free hand or kind of messy that would be fantastic but not too messy if you catch my drift.

A Fierce Wind Blew Into Windward Hills Today
I went outside today after the rain and looked at my neighbor's yard. The wind broke off this palm tree. The ironic thing is we went out for dinner last night and my neighbor was talking about possibly getting rid of the palm trees. This wasn't in the plans though. I knew the wind was blowing but it certainly didn't seem that strong.
I was watching an episode of Color Splash Miami last night that I had recorded. I couldn't believe it when I saw this American Indian design wall hanging.
An identical wall hanging hung in my sons room over 30 years ago. My youngest son purchased it and it was a big investment for a teenager. To see it on TV 30 years later was quite an eerie experience. I don't know whether he still has it.
Strange things have been happening lately. Yesterday was also the day many of us around the country and world had trouble accessing the Internet.
I hope I don't wake up to snow tomorrow!

Loved this Book!!
I loved this book SO much and when I read the first review that was written for this book I felt so sorry for waiting to give my opinion. I think that anyone that enjoyed watching "The Duchess of Duke Street" and/or "Upstairs, Downstairs" on PBS would probably like this story as well or more. This is not a book for the squeamish so if you cannot tolerate a certain amount of sex and unpleasantness, don't bother. I was able to keep track of the many characters quite easily, partly because the narrator is so easily understood. Once I started listening, I was so hooked! I finished this almost 42 hour book in just 10 days and wished it was longer. The ending was excellent. It was a bargain for just one credit. (Editor NOT needed, thank you very much).

Can't Put It Down
While I freely admit, I am not finished with this book......not even finished with part one of the five, I have to say I LOVE IT. I wanted to counter the few less than stellar reviews given by previous reviewers. Yes, it is rather long-winded and probably could have used a more scissor-happy editor; however, this is one thing I love about the book. The author is indeed verbose, using many words to describe people, places, and things, but this has always helped me to more easily visualize settings and characters. I detest authors who are skimpy with descriptors (I guess I just don't have a vivid enough imagination). This author is excellent and I will be looking forward to more from her.
Believe it or not, the characters come across as likeable (more or less), even when they are obviously toffee-nosed snobs. The book is definitely adult. If you are squeamish about sex, coarse language, and the seedier side of life, do give it a miss. BUT if you, as well as I, enjoy reading about lives lived completely differently than your own, buy it. You just might find yourself being transported to a different place and time. And you WON'T want to leave. I actually can't wait to finish this review so I can turn on my iPod again to be sent back to London, circa 1874. I'm anxious to see how Sugar is getting along; how William will manage his serious "issues", and to meet the other interesting and complex characters created by Ms. Faber.
Apparently this book has been made into a major BBC drama now starring Romola Garai, a terrific, young, English actress. I'd love to see it sometime. It'd be interesting to see how they "clean it up" for airing on public television.

I loved it!
First let me say that if you dislike crude language I would avoid this book as it treats sex and prostitution quite unflinchingly and describes the world it deals with in a way that I found to be refreshing but may offend some. Normally prostitutes in fiction are depicted as "tart with a heart", sexy siren or cold hard witches. They never seem quite real but this book breathes life into the world it depicts; it evokes sights, smells and characters of this world in sometimes alarming detail. I loved the introduction, the story and the narration. It was quite wonderful

Gothic Chic-Lit
This book is the "Marmite" of historical fiction; readers/listeners will either love it or loathe it. I am definitely in the former category.
The book is a narration of several intertwined people's lives over the period of about a year, the narrator being an integral part.Through these lives, a story of how love comes into the most unlikely of lives. The main characters are Sugar, a much sought after prostitute with many qualities not usually found in the fallen women of fiction, and William, a typical Victorian father who thinks he is anything but typical of his class and time. The story weaves through Sugar and William meeting and her deciding to improve her lot because of William's infatuation for her.
There are a number of supporting characters, and rather than the usual story of a "tart with a heart" winning her man, "Pretty Woman" style, it is the slow development of love in those characters who both crave it and think they're beyond it.
To begin with, I was felt cheated by the somewhat abrupt end, wanting to know more about what happened to the characters. However, the more I thought about I reaslised that I didn't need to know at all; the author told us undirectly and there were happy endings for those who deserved it most.
I can recommend this book to anyone, especially women as I don't think it's particularly a man's book, who enjoys a saga and isn't offended by graphic descriptions of the world inhabited by prostitutes and their clients. The narration is superb, the nuances and inflections add perfect undercurrents to the book. I can do nothing more than recommend this highly and strongly recommend that listeners give it a go - you'll either love it or hate it.

Dickens-like ribaldry
What did you like best about this story?
I'm generally an anti-Dickens reader and this story had many of the same elements - but a large dollop of humour and sex lightened the otherwise Gothic mix.
I've also got a soft spot for being addressed directly by the narrator.
What does Jill Tanner bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you had only read the book?
Tanner deserves a standing ovation, if only for her 40+ hours of stamina! ... but mostly for bringing such life and colour to this sizeable cast of characters.
I doubt this is a print book I'd have finished but the narration was addictive.
Any additional comments?
What, that's it?! ... the ending finished as prematurely as some of Miss Sugar's clients ...

How Eskom bosses gave Trillian a big payday
Publish date: 12 October 2017
Issue Number: 583
Diary: Legalbrief Forensic
Category: State capture
As Parliament gears up to probe alleged state capture at Eskom amid concerns about governance at state-owned enterprises (see report below), more skeletons have come tumbling out of the power utility's cupboard, writes Legalbrief. Investigative units Scorpio and amaBhungane continue to expose shenanigans at Eskom. In their latest exposé on the Daily Maverick site, they note it is well established that Eskom paid Trillian R595m without a valid contract while lying to the public about doing so, but how the Gupta-linked company was sneaked onto Eskom's payment system – a system designed to prevent fraud – has always been a mystery. The report claims a series of interviews and leaked documents allege suspended chief financial officer Anoj Singh and his management team bent over backwards to get Trillian their payday, sometimes bullying mid-level officials into fabricating documents.
Singh and his senior management team – Edwin Mabelane, Prish Govender and Charles Kalima – have been identified as key players in the Trillian debacle, which has also ensnared global consulting firm McKinsey. This emerges from Eskom's own report, the explosive G9 Forensic interim report, and also from 10 draft charges in the disciplinary process against Singh, notes the Daily Maverick. Singh was suspended on Friday, 29 September and Eskom confirmed on Monday 2 October that Singh's colleagues, Govender, Mabelane and Kalima, also face suspension. Draft charges against Singh detail how Singh, Mabelane and Govender allegedly acted together over a period of months in order to ensure Trillian's payday. Singh, Mabelane, Govender and Kalima now face disciplinary charges for allegedly misleading the board tender committee, breaching their fiduciary duties, unauthorised and irregular expenditure and financial misconduct. G9 Forensic also recommended criminal investigations be launched. Singh did not answer specific questions put to him, but said he had not been interviewed by G9 Forensic investigators, nor had he seen their interim report. The G9 Forensic investigation was triggered when a whistleblower reported the irregular payment of an invoice for R152.76m submitted by Trillian in December 2016. The DM says neither Mabelane, Govender, Kalima nor Eskom commented on specific questions relating to the allegations.
In more shenanigans revealed over the weekend, cash-strapped Eskom wants Treasury to approve the expansion of a contract to buy thousands of office chairs at an average of around R2 600 each. According to the Sunday Times, the power utility – so mired in corruption and mismanagement scandals that it has been named the 'biggest risk to the SA economy' by Goldman Sachs – wanted an extra R24m to buy 9 217 'operator and visitor chairs'. This is on top of an existing R72.7m contract, signed in 2013, to supply office and 'soft' chairs. Suspicious of the latest request, the National Treasury conducted a physical inspection of Eskom's offices and power stations, and, according to the Sunday Times, it found only 500 chairs were needed. And, in what appears to be another questionable episode, the report also notes that the first action of IT executive Sean Maritz, now Eskom's interim CE, was to suspend the firm's head of legal, Suzanne Daniels – a move seen as putting the brakes on Eskom's endeavours to recover R1.5bn from Gupta-linked McKinsey and Trillian, a decision announced and generally applauded last week.
Security concerns have precluded the names of witnesses relating to Parliament's pending probe into state capture at Eskom from being publicised, the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises revealed yesterday (Wednesday), notes a BusinessLIVE report. The inquiry, which is due to get under way next week, will look into state capture and the abuse of public resources particularly at Eskom. It will have an experienced legal practitioner as an evidence leader, as was the case in the SABC inquiry. The committee yesterday met behind closed doors to discuss the inquiry process with the evidence leader. Witnesses will be called from Tuesday, acting committee chairperson Zukiswa Rantho said.
McKinsey will repay the fees it earned for six months' work last year at Eskom if a High Court finds the deal was unlawful, the global consultancy said on Tuesday, according to a BusinessLIVE report. Eskom had given McKinsey and its local partner Trillian until Tuesday to repay R1.6bn in consultancy fees for a contract that the state firm says was illegal. McKinsey said it would pay back the fee in full if the court determines Eskom acted unlawfully, adding that it was solely Eskom's responsibility to ensure the contract met regulations. McKinsey's offer to repay the money had put Trillian in a tight spot, the report notes. It came into the deal as a junior partner on the McKinsey contract. 'Trillian would have to demonstrate it was legally entitled to the money,' lawyer Matodzi Ratshimbilani, of TGR Attorneys, said. The report adds legal experts said that McKinsey would have to stump up Trillian's portion as well as it was the main contractor to the deal. Meanwhile, the Gupta-linked Trillian financial firm is giving SA the silent treatment, notes a TimesLIVE report. 'Trillian will not be commenting on the statement by McKinsey'' a spokesperson for the firm is quoted in the report as saying.

Ray Charles' Funeral
Listening to the funeral right now, NPR recorded it this morning and KPCC.org in L.A. is playing it this evening. If NPR or NPR stations offer it online, I recommend giving a listen. It's a couple of hours (so far) long.
Jesse Jackson gave a splendid invocation. But of course, the music is the best part.
The Crenshaw High School choir was unbelievable. About 10 seconds into their first song, I decided I hadn't heard right. These were pros, not kids.
Wrong, it was a high school choir. A spectacular choir.
Joe Adams, Ray's manager, was emcee(see Hungry Blues' for a story of Adams and Charles and the civil rights movement). Willie Nelson sang Georgia. Willie told about losing at cards to Ray, and Willie asking, "Ray, next game, can we turn on the lights?"
B.B. King talked quite a while (through tears) before he played, that was nice.
Now Wynton Marsalis is playing Precious Lord, New Orleans funeral style. The NPR folk turned it down to talk to us, bummer.
Now he picks it up (yeah! also New Orleans style) and plays Down by the Riverside.
Then a recording (recordings at funerals seem extra sad to me, I don't like it) of Johnny Mathis and Ray singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. They opened the casket for a viewing, then off to the cemetery in Inglewood.
Too wonderful. I'm sad the funeral is over.
Thanks again, Ray.

- The aim of this study was to develop multiparticulate therapeutic systems of alginate (AL) and chitosan (CS) containing triamcinolone (TC) to colonic drug delivery. Multiparticulate systems of AL-CS, prepared by a complex coacervation/ionotropic gelation method, were characterized for morphological and size aspects, swelling degree, encapsulation content and efficiency, in vitro release profile in different environments simulating the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and in vivo gastrointestinal transit. The systems showed suitable morphological characteristics with particle diameters of approximately 1.6 mm. In simulated gastric environment, at pH 1.2, the capsules presented low degree of swelling and in vitro release of drug. A higher swelling degree was observed in simulated enteric environment, pH 7.5, followed by erosion. Practically all the drug was released after 6 h of in vitro assay. The in vivo analysis of gastrointestinal transit, carried out in rats, showed that the systems passed practically intact through the stomach and did not show the same profile of swelling observed in the in vitro tests. It was possible to verify the presence of capsules in the colonic region of GIT. The results indicate that AL-CS multiparticulate systems can be used as an adjuvant for the preparation of therapeutic systems to colonic delivery of drugs. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

People like to think the UK has FREE health care - you are so wrong. I also want to state this is not FREE to all since we (the ones who work) pay each and every month and it adds up.
My pros's and con's based on my opinion
You don't freak out over not having health insurance because if you get sick, you can get care.
The prescriptions are a set price £7
Birth Control is FREE
Buying diflucan over the counter and not waiting to see a darn doctor
I have not spoken to a friendly receptionist yet
Waiting lists are miles long for specialist
General Doctor's don't have a clue who you are and don't bother reading anything about you
Having a thrush or water infection - you wait many days to get results back
You don't get any real answers because it doesn't feel as if they care BUT they won't discharge you because then you can sue them for neglect.
People go to the doctor because they stubbed their toe - why because they can.
Can barely get appointments in advance must call the day of
I would rather pay for insurance oh wait we do...I mean I would rather have a co-pay for everyone. If you are on benefits why can't you afford £2 and if you are not pay £5. Lower the amount you take out of our checks and make it up in co-pays. NOT massive co-pays but it would stop stupid visits and lower the amount a bit for us working people.
Let me also state children under the age of 18 get free medical,dental,eye and prescriptions so they would not have a co-pay.
In England each person doesn't file taxes it is done automatically. You don't get tax deduction for mortgage insurance or stuff you buy for work ect.. You don't get the bigger deduction for having kids or filing jointly. There is no married discount for two hard working people as you don't get benefits of any kind if you hold a steady job. In my own opinion some don't get a job as the benefits the government pays is MORE then they would get working a lower paying job so why work? I saw a newspaper saying they want to cap benefits at 500 quid a week OMG that's 2K a month - seriously and we wonder why the UK is broke?

Remember the dollar sucks right now and £40K is a nice salary by all means but handing over £16K hurts and to think paying almost £4K/$6K in national health insurance for the year - WOW. Talk about the people picking up the tab. I am all for national health insurance but I also don't think because you make more you pick up more of the tab - keep it equal.
Just like benefits. Right now a single mom can make 40K a year and still get child tax benefits and working tax credits ect...If you are married - nada. Firstly if you are making 40K a year you shouldn't get benefits.
This is where I think the UK is wrong. I think it should be a tax deduction % for each parent (no jointly filing in this country) to get some tax back you PAID in. Now if you don't work and you are on benefits already such as housing and whatever else then obviously you won't get a chunk back as you only get what you pay in. I am not saying starve the kids! The benefit system here gives people 4 bedroom houses and enough money to take vacations if they don't work (not all people but enough). Now in the states if you were on benefits we were talking section 8 and food stamps - scraping by and if you wanted to get money and further in life you had to get a JOB.
I went off a slight tangent here obviously and I am sure some may not agree with me and that's fine - that is why this is my opinion and my blog.

That's a win to me!
|A slice, served along with Caesar salad! What a green dinner!
Potato & Spinach Braid
1 10-oz package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
5 potatoes, cooked (I cooked them by poking holes in them and microwaving them... my microwave has a "potato" auto-cook function...)
1/4 c feta cheese (optional)
2 tsp garlic powder
pizza dough (store bought or homemade)
Scoop out the baked potato and either run through a ricer or through a food processor grating disc. Add spinach, feta, and garlic powder and mix lightly until blended - I pulsed in the food processor.
Roll the pizza dough out into a large rectangle (about 16" long and 8" wide). Spread the potato and spinach mixture in the center, leaving 2-3" on each side free. Braid (for tutorial, see my chicken taco braid), then brush the top with a little olive oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for about 10-15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Remove kitchen towel from the braid and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until nicely browned. Cool slightly, then cut into slices and serve.

So far we have a couple of threads explaining how it works (The one I read by Chiz was great) and that one video that Sansivie uploaded.
After extensive tests by myself and Rosie on the rats and hollows in the depths (Thanks Rosie), just to see how much damage we could get out of the spell (highest we managed was 2500 on a rat) I decided to see how it fares in pvp...
First, a quick summary of how KJ works...
- It doesnt matter what you cast it with, in either hand, only your magic adjust or magic damage of the right hand, at the time of explosion. So this can be a catalyst, pyro flame, talisman, moonlight sword/spear or any magic/Enchanted weapon. However this does NOT include buffs, I found by spell swapping DMB onto MLGS, TCC and enchanted katana, actually lowered the damage (So no cheating guys!)
- The highest there being the TCC at 99 INT, followed by Manus catalyst and MLGS (Note the bonus STR modifier that Manus catalyst gives to dark spells does NOT work with KJ)
- The build up to the explosion works in the same way as bleed / poison build up (Imagine a separate KJ bar that builds as you get hit, just like bleed) As you will see in the video, the quickest activation possible is 5 quick hits, and pauses in between hits take 6 or 7 etc.
- Hits after you die count as well! If you attack someone as they are dying with a chaos blade, youll notice you take the 20 damage per hit, this is the case with KJ You will see evidence of this at the end of the video...
- This means several ways of activation : Taking the hit, blocking with something that lets some damage through, or rolling through a hit, the same way as bleed cancel (Youll see in the video I rolled a dark bead and it went off with no damage to me, and also I rolled the 5th hit in a series of quick attacks for the same result)
- The damage you take with each hit is irreverent, you can eat 5 hits with a demon great hammer, or block 5 punches with a shield thats less than 100% PHYS resist, the important thing is that you same SOME damage, no matter how small. (So if anyone decides to have a go at this kind of thing, people using a gold tracer 2H spam, pursuers, dark bead, fire surge or soul mass are a VERY easy kill if you have the right shield)
- Counter hits make a huge difference with the activation, so a katana spam to activate it will do a massive amount more than a soul mass (If the person is not mid-animation at the time the spell hits you) For an example, the rat in the depths that attacked me took 2500 damage, while the nearby rats only took 1800 or so.
- The most important thing to remember with KJ is to NEVER underestimate it, when you see that purple aura, slow down your attack speed and avoid spells that hit multiple times. You'll probably think the ruse is incredibly obvious in my video (And it kinda is) But you can bet that none of them thought it would one shot them...
Anyway here is the video of it all in action, Enjoy...
The character level is around 240, it has :
- 99 VIT (So I can invade on red tear hp and still have enough to take a few hits)
- 40 END (so I could block as many hits as possible)
- 99INT (So I get as much magic adjust on the TCC as possible)
- Suns firstborn ring
- Red tearstone ring
- Dusk Crown
- Tin Crystal Catalyst in right hand (See above)
- Crystal ring shield - The cleansing shield and grass crest are the most efficient ones for this, since they block the heavier melee weapons alot better (My crystal ring got owned against ultra greatswords) But the crystal ring does block magic very well (Youll notice I charged right at soul mass users for zero damage)
- You COULD use dragon form for this and get a huge damage boost if you manage to get an activation whilst the roar is still active, but that would work on even fewer people, would mean no dusk crown and the damage was already around 1900 on most people... But most importantly Karma is a blonde mage not a dragon dammit!
Anyway sorry for the essay, I hope this benefits in someway, it was a relly enjoyable video to film, (goes without saying that it didnt work on everyone) and even more fun to discover a hidden gem of a spell that can be super powerful!
Let me know if there is anything I missed here or anything you would like to know

You say you want to understand, but understanding is a lot of work. If you knew all that was involved, would you still feel the same way? I so desperately want to be understood. I want to believe you, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid I'll be disappointed. You'll never understand me. I can't say I'll ever understand myself, and when one thing comes to make sense to you, I'll change. But, I'm not sure you really want to understand me. I'm not sure you know all that is involved. Professionals, they're paid to listen, but you, I feel bad taking your time. I'll keep buying you supper because I feel that somehow I need to give back to you. I need to make every hour we spend together worth it for you, and I can't believe that you'd find it worthwhile, just hanging out with me. I love you so much, that's why I'm so afraid. I'm afraid that you just put up with me. I don't want to annoy you. I don't want to force you to listen to me. I'm selfish. I love talking about myself, I love being with you, so I'll try not to talk about myself too much, because I'm afraid I'll push you away. I wish this wasn't all about me, but like I said, I'm selfish. I'm not sure I have anything to offer you. Can I buy you lunch?

I SLEEP ON a DOG BED
I know it sounds strange to sleep on a dog bed, but it's true. I have spent many years trying to find a comfortable pillow. I've tried pretty much every kind and style, plus all the kinds of stuffing inside them. Every one says it's the very best. They lie.
I know everyone has their preference as to softness or firmness, but I've yet to find one that suits me. That's why, I tried out the dog bed. You've seen them, I'm sure. They are very large, and most are really soft and squishy. I do like that kind, rather than the ones that feel hard. I've had neck problems for years, so it's important to find a pillow that doesn't make it hurt. I've tried stuffings of polyester, foam, feathers, buckwheat (?), cotton, and every other type I can think of. So far, the best is the dog bed.
Sometimes my head is on the dog bed, sometimes my feet. I only sleep on my back, halfway sitting up, because of vertigo. If I lay on my side, I get so dizzy. I tried counting all the pillows on my bed. I got to 20, and stopped. I think I might have counted some more than once. It's hard to tell, there are so many…of all types. Body pillows, travel pillows, regular, medium, and firm, vibrating neck pillows (2 of them), cheap pillows, expensive pillows…they are all on there. That's so I can switch them out if one isn't just right at the moment.
I bought the dog bed pillow while on vacation. I got some funny looks from family, but I didn't care. It even squished down great in my one suitcase, when we left to go back home. They thought I'd leave it there for their dogs, when we left, but no…it was mine, and I was keeping it.
So, yes…I sleep on a dog bed, and it's great! 🙂
Here it is, the blue and white. The animal print is my flannel sheet. 🙂
P.S. We don't have any dogs.
Have you ever tried out sleeping on a dog bed pillow? Would you? What is your favorite kind of pillow?
Thanks for visiting! Peace }i{
