Targeting the audience: Hitting bull eye. Before commencing the journey of writing a successful essay, one should always keep in mind the audience of the essay. Which type of audience will read the essay? What is the purpose of this essay? Any author should be well prepared to answer these questions.
Good essay means clear and concise thoughts. This is by far the most relevant definition of an essay. A good essay is a structure of sentences which is easy to understand, a delight to comprehend, and compact in a way which is a joy to the reader. The thoughts and the views should be always showcased on a presentable manner. These qualities should be embedded in the essayist in order to create the perfect essay.
Creating the first draft: Initiate it! Initializing the first draft of the essay is as important as completing the whole task. It has observed numerous times that the first step towards essay becomes a huge task for the beginners.
An essay is thus, a literary initiative to describe and comprehend a situation, to the best ability of the author. Writing a meaningful and strong essay has been one of the most intriguing mysteries of the academic world. As the scope of an essay is immense, close to infinity, there can be in no proven or scientific parameter to gauge the intensity of an essay.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #193
O Jesus, we adore thee,
Upon the cross, our King!
We bow our hearts before thee,
Thy gracious name we sing.
That name hath brought salvation,
That name in life our stay,
Our peace, our consolation,
When life shall fade away.
Yet doth the world disdain thee,
Still passing by the cross;
Lord, may our hearts retain thee;
All else we count but loss.
Ah, Lord, our sins arraigned thee,
And nailed thee to the tree:
Our pride, our Lord, disdained thee;
Yet deign our hope to be.
O glorious King, we bless thee,
No longer pass thee by;
O Jesus, we confess thee
The Son enthroned on high.
Lord, grant to us remission;
Life through thy death restore;
Yea, grant us the fruition
Of life for evermore.

Wood likely out for start of season with shoulder strain
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Reliever Tim Wood has been diagnosed with a right rotator cuff strain and will likely not be ready for the start of the season, Twins general manager Terry Ryan said Sunday.
Wood felt discomfort in his shoulder after throwing 1 1/3 scoreless innings against the Rays on Saturday and was diagnosed with the rotator cuff strain on Sunday.
Wood, who is out of Minor League options, was a strong candidate to make the bullpen out of camp, as he had been pitching well since struggling against the Rays on March 5. Wood has a 4.91 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 11 innings this spring, but his ERA over his last five outings (6 1/3 innings) is 1.42.
Ryan said the Twins will wait to decide whether to place Wood on the 15-day disabled list, because the club wants to assess the seriousness of the injury first.
"We'll see how it goes," Ryan said. "He doesn't feel right, so we're going to have to take care of it. I don't think it's an MRI situation. He just doesn't feel right. I don't know if it'll be a week or a month or what it'll be. We'll see. It could just be discomfort."

A New York judge has reportedly tossed a lawsuit from Michael Douglas' ex-wife, who claimed she was entitled to half of earnings from the ailing actor's "Wall Street" sequel.
"He's thrilled," Douglas lawyer Marilyn Chinitztold E! News after the decision was made public on Monday.
Diandra Douglas had said she was owed a cut from "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" because she was married to Douglas when he filmed his Oscar-winning performance as corporate raider Gordon Gekko in the 1987 original.
Michael and Diandra Douglas divorced in California in 2000 after 23 years of marriage, according to The Associated Press.
New York Supreme Court Justice Matthew F. Cooper wrote in his Nov. 9 decision the Empire State was not the "proper forum" to hear the case, Bloomberg News reported.
Instead, California "has greater familiarity than this court with both the law of community property and the facts of the underlying divorce," he wrote, according to Bloomberg.
Diandra or her lawyers have not said whether they plan to take the case to California.
Douglas completed eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy last month for throat cancer.
"He's feeling better everyday," his lawyer told E!

Cast your vote by logging in to AnthroGateway, click on the "My Information" page, and then click on the "Vote Now!" button.
This month we'll take a look at the candidates.
Today's feature are the candidates for the linguistic seat of the Committee on Ethics. The objective of the Committee on Ethics is a standing committee of the Association, which is responsible for the design and implementation of the Association's ethics education and advisory program. The objectives of the ethics education program are (1) to increase the number of candidates for all degrees in anthropology receiving training in ethics before graduating; (2) to provide ongoing education in ethical issues for all AAA members; (3) to provide advice to AAA members facing/raising ethical dilemmas, and (4) to provide guidance to the Executive Board about AAA codes and guidelines.
Click here to learn more about the Committee on Ethics.
Christopher Ball
The recent revision of the American Anthropological Association's Ethics Code presents new opportunities for the Committee on Ethics' education and advisory programs. I aim to contribute to implementation of ethics education within the discipline and beyond, as well as continuing development of ethical guidelines for professional conduct. In particular I bring to the committee expertise on the specific ethical issues raised by research involving language, including student research conducted with non-native speakers of English, professional member research in diverse sociolinguistic scenes, and the difficulties of informed consent and linguistic translation. I am a linguistic anthropologist who conducts field research with speakers of indigenous languages of Latin America and with Japanese speakers in rural Japan. My research experience has influenced my commitment to the construction of ethical models for the representation of language and other forms of expression within anthropology and in public discourse. This is reflected in my writing on endangerment of indigenous languages as well as social and political inequalities experienced by speakers of marginalized varieties of dominant state languages. I am also committed to building ethical awareness into undergraduate and graduate curriculum involving ethnographic and related research methodologies.
Steven Black
My scholarship, based on ethnographic research with marginalized Zulu speaking South Africans living with HIV/AIDS amid stigma, includes a focus on ethical practice in data analysis, publication, and fieldwork. In my work I have become familiar with how South Africans face stigma through language and music. These communicative processes are inherently ethical. In my scholarship I address questions of how morality and ethics are constituted in everyday lives and how neoliberal discourses shape understandings of ethical action. In addition to shared anthropological concerns about research participant anonymity, in publications I am cognizant of the problem of showing faces of people who might be stigmatized as a result. This is a difficult issue given the central use of visual materials in my data analysis. During fieldwork, I face issues such as how to truthfully represent my work to South Africans who might stigmatize research participants and questions about how the mantra "do no harm" should be interpreted in this context. I also work to contribute to the lives of the marginalized, stigmatized individuals with whom I work. I feel that linguistic anthropology offers unique viewpoints on ethics, and I would welcome the opportunity to represent these perspectives on the ethics committee.

Who Should Decide How Children Are Educated?By Jack Klenk
Who has the primary responsibility for making critical decisions about the education of school-aged children? Their parents? Or government and the school system it operates? That is a fundamental question about education policy that faces the United States as it attempts to build educational institutions for the twenty-first century.
Parents pay for public education through mandatory taxes. Most send their children to public schools, attend parent-teacher meetings, encourage their children to do homework, and bake cookies for school events. However, decisions about what schools their children attend and what education programs the schools use are typically made by the system's own professionals. In short, parents fund, support, and cooperate with the school system, but having power over their children's education is another thing altogether.

Hi all,
I'd order up a fingerworks keyboard about three years ago off of eBay, but it ended up getting lost (it was shipped from England). I was between jobs at the time (a long between ), so as even on eBay it was more money than I should have been putting out at the time, I took the refund and bided my time. Years later I decided to take the plunge and found they where gone!
Found this website and followed the investigation and looked at the alternatives people where finding. Still the original tech is intriguing and I had a project in the back of my mind.
The possibility of getting my hands on one of the digitouch models finally got me to register and de-lurk.

A while back, I was filmed in a video for the Kmart "Show us What You Got" campaign, a marketing effort meant to highlight their new more fashion-forward clothing lines. In each episode, they follow a fashionable girl in a different city and then give her a box of Kmart clothes. She chooses outfits based on her style and showcases those looks. A Kmart team member had approached me on the street to be featured in one of their episodes. It was an awesome experience and I was happy to share a little bit about me and my style. The byproduct has finally been released! Check it out :)

Blue Suede Shoes
True to my love of color, my outfit today revolves around my fairly new blue suede BCBG sandals. I love their hue and wore a matching top to call even more attention to them. Worn with skinny jeans rolled up at the ankles, these sandals are the highlight of this outfit.
Do you often create an outfit based on one piece you are dying to wear?

Block Party
The colored denim trend has taken the world by storm. Available in virtually every color, there is an option for everyone. A fun addition to your wardrobe, these jeans give you an outlet to express yourself through color. The best way to rock this trend is to pair with neutrals so that the pants can be the main focus. For example, a black blazer, black top, and black pumps call attention to a bright blue pair. Or, a basic white t-shirt allows red skinny jeans to do all the talking (as I've worn here).
How do you like to wear your colored jeans?

Don't Get Carried Away
My outfit today is pretty basic. Whenever I need to quickly put an outfit together, I tend to keep it simple and add nice touches to spruce things up. Here I am wearing a sleeveless turtleneck sweater with jeans, adding gold accents with my accessories. I also wore the new purse I blogged about in my last post, which I absolutely love.
What do you think of this easy ensemble?

Blue Crush
I have always been a huge fan of color. So it makes me so happy to see how trendy colors have been lately. Bright jeans, color blocking, monochromatic outfits--all these trends have welcomed bright colors into our wardrobes, even during Fall. One color I have been loving lately is blue. Here are some of my recent purchases of blue items that I am happy to have added to my closet. Stay tuned for outfits with these new pieces!
What do you think of the recent wave of color? Do you love it or hate it?

All That Glitters is Gold
I would say one of the most distinct characteristics of my personal style is that I like to make basics fun and fresh. This can be achieved many ways, including accessorizing a plain outfit or wearing "basics" that have a distinct twist. If this doesn't make sense to you, let me explain. In this outfit, I am wearing a totally basic outfit: a white button down, pleated shorts, and pumps. Since the scheme of this outfit is pretty simple, I like to choose pieces that actually make a statement themselves. This basic outfit is spiced up when the shorts are a vibrant gold and the pumps are virtually made of fairy dust. It may be hard to pull a full pant-suit in a bright metallic anywhere other than the runway--but gold shorts? I say go for it.
Let me know what you think!

Red Haute
I've always felt that red is an extremely empowering color. It is sexy, vibrant, and makes a statement. You need a lot of confidence to really pull off the color red, especially an entirely red outfit. That is why I love that red was the color of the Go Red for Women Red Dress Fashion Show, an annual American Heart Association charity event for heart disease in women. Here is my outfit for the event.

Make a Statement
I always mention in my posts how jewelry and accessories can make or break an outfit. I have lots and lots of jewelry, but the significance is that statement jewelry, well, makes a statement! Statement jewelry are pieces that really stand out from everything else you have on, while still pulling the entire look together. My plain top and jeans are glammed up by a statement necklace I am wearing here.

Orange You Glad?
For this nail art post, I tried something a little different: a simple stripe design with a mood-boosting color palate. The peach, orange, and gold color combination really put me in a good mood for the days I wore this nail art. I am a big believer that the colors you wear can affect how you feel.

It's on in Neon
Neon colors were a big trend this summer. Wearing them can be really fun and give you a definite energy boost, but the trend can also go horribly wrong. One rule about pulling off the neon look is to pair it with neutrals. There are two ways to do this. If you really want your neon color to pop, pair it with a black or white neutral, as I did in this outfit. The strong contrast highlights the color (literally). If you'd like to tone down your neon, pair it with a more natural neutral, like brown, tan, or gray. This combination allows the neutral to complement the neon color for the perfect balance.
Did you rock neon colors this summer?

Short Story
Denim shorts are a wardrobe essential that never go out of style. They can be worn in summer with a tank top and shorts, as well as in winter with tights and a blazer. They come in all shapes and sizes: ripped, cuffed, faded, short, long, dark, light--the list goes on and on. Here I wore a very simple outfit, a white tank top with cuffed denim shorts, perfect for the heat that comes at the end of summer. A unique belt and pretty sandals add some life to the look.
How do you like to wear your denim shorts?

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
As you may have noticed, I am an extremely girly girl. But sometimes, I go a little overboard :) I love the color pink, hearts, and flowers. In this post, all these are combined. I have always loved the color combination of pink and green; I decided to do my nails with mint green and pink nail polishes in an inverted "V" design. Each middle finger also had a heart-shaped rhinestone. I thought the outcome was really cute and sweet.
What do you think, pretty or over-the-top?

Show Your Stripes
Stripes are one of those timeless "trends" that never really go out of style. Although they come "back in style" every now and then, stripes can be worn any time, any season, for almost any occasion. Its versatility is one of the many reasons why I love this style. Another reason? It is so simple while still being so chic. Stripes can look great with a lot of accessories yet still look just as awesome worn plainly. There are barely ways to go wrong. I am definitely a huge fan of stripes.
What are your thoughts on stripes?

A Pocket Full of Posies
Summer is the perfect time to experiment with different colors, textures, and styles. Mixing and matching simple basics can yield new and interesting results each time. Here I layered two ribbed tank tops and paired them with a great pair of skinny cargo pants. A large purse in a stand-out color (I decided to match mine to my top) really ties the look together for a great summery feel.
What do you think of the outcome?

The Grass is Always Greener…
I love painting my nails in eccentric colors. They are the perfect pop of color for a toned-down outfit or a great addition to an already colorful look. Show off your playful side with a wild nail polish like the one I am wearing in this post. (Unfortunately, the nail color came out a little more bluish in these pictures than it actually is. The color is more of a greenish/blue.)
Would you wear an unconventional color on your nails?

Zip It
I absolutely love when otherwise plain pieces have unique details or embellishments. A few studs, zippers, or sequins can really turn a simple piece of clothing into a distinctive must-have. For example, without the zipper down the center, the top I am wearing in this outfit would just be a regular nude tank top. I especially love when the bottom of skinny pants have zippers down the sides, like the cargos I am wearing in this outfit do.
Do you think embellishments are a fun addition or just too much?

Short & Sweet
There is probably no trend I love more than colorblock. It is such an easy look to pull off but can be so fashion forward. Colorblock is one of those "timeless trends" that keep coming back. While some styles are forever gone once they pass, this style can be worn time and time again but still look trendy. I love how polished and fashionable the style looks once it is completely pulled together.
How do you feel about colorblocking?

Golden Girl
I recently saw the idea for "golden" nails in one of my fashion and beauty magazines. I thought it was such a pretty look that would go so well with gold jewelry. I decided to add my own twist to it, including my flower design on each ring finger topped with glitter.
What do you think of the result?

As a storm system moves into New England, it's expected that parts of Boston and New York state will see pockets of snow, with rain expected from Cape Cod to Washington, D.C. TODAY's Dylan Dreyer reports.
A second, smaller winter storm will hit the Northeast Friday night and into Saturday, dumping up to 6 inches of snow in major cities and up to a foot and a half of snow in less populated areas. But it won't pack nearly the punch of the one earlier this week that brought twisters, high winds, icy roads, power outages and record snowfall, and that led to at least 17 deaths and thousands of grounded flights, affecting tens of thousands of holiday travelers.
"This storm will move at a rather brisk pace, so we don't expect any overwhelming snow amounts," weather.com reported.
The corridor from Philadelphia to New York City and Hartford, Conn., is expected to see snow totals in the 2 to 5 inch range, and more in the suburban and outlying areas, weather.com added. Boston could see 4 to 6 inches of snow "if the low-pressure system tracks close enough to the coast."
For New York City, the snow should be just enough to create a "postcard" setting for sledding and strolling, NBCNewYork.com reported.
More storm coverage at weather.com
Washington, D.C., is looking at 1-3 inches, NBCWashington.com was forecasting. Some of that snow is likely to mix with rain.
The Weather Channel's Mike Seidel has more on what residents in the Northeast can expect to see as a winter weather system moves through the region.
Freezing rain -- making for treacherous travel conditions -- was predicted for parts of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia while significant rain was likely along the New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland coasts, the National Weather Service said.
The weather service forecast 12 to 18 inches of snow for northern New England, accompanied by freezing rain and sleet.
Tom Olney, a 50-year-old stay-at-home father of two, was making plans to go sledding with his children in their hometown of Wayland, Mass.
"We love snow," Olney told Reuters. "What else are you going to do when it's this wet and cold out?"
Western Massachusetts, like much of the Northeast, had an uncharacteristically mild winter last year, but residents such as Olney say they are ready for a more typical cold season.
"Mother Nature doesn't usually give you two in a row," he said. "We've still got a lot of supplies from last year, so I guess we're ready for it now."
Eleven inches of snow was forecast for Buffalo, N.Y., where some 8 to 12 inches of snow fell overnight into Thursday. Prior to that, Buffalo was 23 inches below average for this time of year, the weather service said.
"It's just a reminder: Winter is here," said Tom Paone of the National Weather Service in Buffalo.
The earlier winter storm was tied to at least 17 deaths and forced the cancellation of thousands of airline flights. It dumped record snow in north Texas and Arkansas before sweeping through the South on Christmas Day and then veering north, where the Adirondacks got 20 inches of snow.
It also triggered tornadoes and left almost 200,000 homes and businesses in Arkansas and Alabama lost power on Wednesday.
In Arkansas, 106,000 homes and businesses were still without power Friday afternoon, and the state's largest utility said many might not get it back until after Jan. 1.
Deena Brazell spent a night in her car for warmth, though she hadn't planned it that way.
"Everything in the apartment is electric. I stayed in the apartment the first night. After that, it got cold really quick," she told The Associated Press. "I went out to charge the phone and fell asleep, then I just decided to stay."
Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Ice and snow changes our environment, as winter engulfs our world.

Today's post is courtesy of The Dollar Stretcher:
1. There are two kinds of garage sales. There are the ones where people want to make money and the ones where people want to get rid of stuff. The object is to find the ones where people want to get rid of stuff.
2. Get a map and newspaper and map out your route. Photo copying maps from a phone book works great. Using this method, you can easily visit 25 sales an hour. If you're a beginner, you might hit neighborhoods you are familiar with first.
3. If at all possible, leave the kids at home. If you must take them, use a baby backpack or an umbrella stroller to make it easier. Give older children 25 or 50 cents and let them see what good deals they can get. Kids love picking out gifts for grandparents, siblings, parents and other family, and bargain hunting helps them learn about money. Bring snacks (animal crackers, cereal, and crackers in plastic bags work well) and cold water for everyone and plan ahead for potty breaks. If you have children with you, it's best only to plan on hitting about five sales until you see how they do.
4. Wear cool, comfortable clothes. Bring lots of change and one dollar bills. Put your money in your pockets so you don't have to worry about carrying your purse. Also bring a tote bag in which to carry your finds as you walk.
5. When you find something you're not sure you want, pick it up and carry it around while you continue looking. Otherwise, someone else may take it while you're trying to decide.
6. Always ask politely if they will come down on the price. Most of the time they will. Every once in a while, some things are so reasonable that I do not feel right asking for less. Finding women's sweaters at $1 each isn't bad, but I still ask if they will take 50 or 75 cents. If I find a name brand sweater in perfect shape for 25 cents, I don't ask for less.
7. If there is something you really want, but the seller is asking more than you want to pay, offer them a lower price. If they say no, leave your name and number and ask them to consider selling it to you at your price if they still have it at the end of the day.
8. Always check items well for hard to see tears, stains, or breakage. Remember it is a garage sale so everything won't be perfect.
9. It is best to go early, but don't panic if you can't. Sometimes you get the best buys after lunch when sellers are tired and don't want to have to drag everything back into the house. It's great to go on the last day of a sale because most sellers will almost pay you to take things so they don't have to keep them.
10. If you don't have success in one part of town, try somewhere else the next time. Sometimes the best garage sale neighborhoods are the ones you don't expect.
Don't be embarrassed about buying at garage sales. Some of the wealthiest women in the world love garage sales. Martha Stewart and Oprah are among them! When you're done, go home, put up your feet and have a nice glass of ice cold lemonade. Grab the phone and call someone who will share the excitement and appreciate your good buys. Garage sales are like old fishing stories. Die-hards always brag about the one that got away!

Berahino to score today? Based on the fact he isn't currently. I heard sakho is injured. And to think we are looking at a third highly injured player in sturridge for next season.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 14:52
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:03
Like the fact that there are no changes. Calleri needs a run of games if he is going to show what he's capable of. 10 minute cameos are no good for a players confidence.positive that noble doesn't start.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:28
even if he gets a run of games. Didn't do much with Fernandes' cross ...
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:31
I know but we haven't exactly looked that dangerous with others playing up front this season have we. I just don't think he has had enough game time to judge him properly.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:53
Calleri's running off the ball and hold up play has been good, he tends to snatch at things in front of goal though which is a damn pity.
We're pretty good so far, solid at the back but just lacking anything clinical in the final third.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:30
was that not a sending off???
I think West Ham will run at him all afternoon.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:30
Arthur just gets better every game
makes you wonder what he could have been like all season
Dicks is the man
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:49
calleri is just abysmal
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:50
He will score second half
Burkie 1
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:56
Harry please ,hes not at the pictures ,we have got to give Carroll his cards said it before no other club would put up with it ,Masuaku once again hardly a foot wrong what a find pleeease stay fit
Burkie 1
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:17
He will score
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:55
Not a natural finisher but he makes some good runs off the ball and holds up the ball well at times - Confidence lacking maybe?
Dicks is the man
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:07
any player can make good runs…whats the point if at the end of it you do some rabona and look a right buffoon.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:51
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 15:53
Cant believe he just tried the rabona,i was screaming at him "effing kick it properly & you might just score!!"GRRrrr!!
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:02
Some players think their left leg is for standing on. At this level they should be able to score from six yards with either foot
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:01
and Lanzini and Mesuaku are going well. A good first half but we really need someone to finish a movement. Adrian hasn't had that much to do because of our defence so hopefully we can keep another clean sheet.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:04
Arthur off injured??
Cresswell on.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:04
Why did Masuaku come off?
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:05
Must have a knock?? hes been our best player so far,cress doesnt fill me with confidence at all!!
Burkie 1
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 17:10
Hes only good when Carroll is on the pitch
Burkie 1
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:07
and for me before his injury Cresswell has been down on confidence so far this year.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:09
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:19
At least Adrian has done well. Who've we got to score a goal???
Dicks is the man
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:19
the legend that is Nordveit
La Vida Hammer
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:20
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:23
Carroll would have put at least four of those chances away
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:23
got to admit he is a bloody good keeper but we really need to put those shots away.

they should have scored then but he was terrific.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:39
worked once before. Callieri off, Snodgrass on. Of course, fans could not be blamed for thinking we ALREADY didn't have any striker on the pitch.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:55
Ok you got me Calleri is PANTS - I just wanted him to score and prove everyone wrong. Mind you snodgrass is no better - another Bilic master stroke why not put on fletcher ?
Dicks is the man
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:49
cant believe weve got snodgrass as our striker now.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 16:55
maybe the dickheads will kee a couple of young kids at home next season rather than send them all out on loan, we could have done with them this season especially when we have a couple of crocks up front.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 17:15
I have no faith in a manager who leaves A recognised striker on the bench and plays snodgrass up front . Pathetic decision.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 17:03
On the upside: good defensive performance for the second time out, and one more point, inching towards safety. Adrian is my MOTM, and the whole outfit has looked better since he's been back.
On the downside: we'll be in 15th at the end of today no matter what happens between Palace and Burnley. Only 3 points above Burnley now and we have to face them away the last game of the season. Hull have kept pace --can they make up six points on us in three games?
You'd have to have Swansea down for a loss at Old Trafford, in which case they need to make up 9 points on us in 3 games. But if we had won, then we would be mathematically safe now, and we're not. It's frustrating to see Bournemouth soar into 10th instead of us.
Predicted final position: Still thinking 15th
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 17:02
win in 10 now. Woeful!!
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 17:05
We'd be in a world of pain right now. The only reason I can justify the 0-0 of the last two games is because we don't have any strikers. But WHY don't we have any strikers ... ??? ??? ??? AAARRRGGGHH
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 17:04
he can't be as bad a shot taker as Calleri, just can't understand why Snodgrass was brought on. To be honest I can see why Antonio and others are upset about how much he is being paid, the way he has been playing he should be paying the club.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 17:06
first thing he does when he comes on is give up the ball being offside. No better than Calleri.
Sat, 29/04/2017 - 17:06
Ayew was our biggest threat in front of goal,baffling decision to take him off...snodgrass is terrible,he should never play again imo..we are just lucky that the ref didnt fall for shaqiris dive at the end-cheating git!!

Fans can expect new music from Amy Winehouse for the first time in years.
Winehouse has recorded a track for "Q: Soul Bossa Nostra," a tribute album celebrating Quincy Jones' top hits, according to the Associated Press.
The troubled singer hasn't released any new music since the 2006 debut of her five-time Grammy winning album "Back to Black."
Winehouse worked with producer Mark Ronsen to record a cover of the 1963 Lesley Gore hit "It's My Party" -- the R&B legend produced the track. The duo worked together on "Back to Black" and "Valerie," a single from the producer's 2007 album "Version."
"Amy and I are both incredibly honoured and excited to be recording this song for Quincy. The regard she holds him in is second to none," Ronson said in a statement released Wednesday. "We've gone back and forth on this track, fixing and improving it until we were satisfied it was good enough for Quincy."
There were not any specifics released as to why the pair chose "It's My Party," but back in March 2010 Jones offered a vague explanation in a release announcing the album.
"Each artist picked a song that resonated with them for different reasons. I am honored that everyone wanted to be a part of this celebration of these songs. They all made them their own and knocked them out of the park."
In a statement release Wednesday Jones said of Winehouse, "Amy's talents as an artist are undisputable and I am astounded not only by her voice but by her tremendous knowledge of and respect for music and its history."
"I am thrilled that she and Mark wanted to be a part of this album and I absolutely love what they did to make the song their own."
The album is due out in November and will include tracks featuring Usher, Akon, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, T-Pain and more.

Annotate |
Small changes to wireless, and starting turning with line following.
Fixed bugs and compiler warnings in old code.
Merge branch 'master' of ssh://roboclub.org/home/svn/scoutos
Conflicts: scout/libscout/CMakeLists.txt
Added linesensor to the behavior class.
Pushing modified behavior process that requires less arguments and appends scoutname to ros node name. and a compiling but not tested version of test_behaviors (scheduler and wh_robot)
Got scheduler to compile. onto wh robots
Made nav map into an actual workable behaviorgit statusgit status
Fixed problems with running behaviors. Something wrong with Cliffsensor control. Must debug later. Also encoder control not working!
Commiting pseudo-Gaussian random noise generator. Tested and works.
Temporary, possibly broken, commit to add EncodersControl.
Sorry - my ros build is broken. I will immediately debug on Priya's machine.
Added WirelessSender class to libscout
WirelessSender will hold some metadata like packet destination, pan, andchannel, and will publish a WirelessPacket (also, addedmesssages/WirelessPacket.msg) to /wireless/sendSo far, lacks proper documentation and static functions similarly named...
Added scoutsim support for encoders.
To see the query_encoders.srv (used for accessing this data) in action, use: rosrun libscout test_encoders. You will see a stream of encoder data.
Fixed CliffsensorControl, now actually part of Behaviors
Committing changes that were not previously committed. Also got rid of some confusing/unnecessary code.
Updated ButtonControl and SonarControl.
Finally, the behavior compiles. Had to fix a lot of problems involving misunderstandings with Publisher/Client/ServiceServer/ServiceClient confusion.
We can now run priya_behavior as an executable, though the process for generating behavior executables still needs some work.
Updated the licensing information in many files.
This is a broken commit because I decided to do this at a bad time. Sorry! The build will be working after next commit, I promise (and I won't push till then). This commit reflects the licensing in the files after I used my auto-add/remove script.
Didn't update the CMakeLists in my previous commit.
Removed references to now nonexistant files.
Updated the Behavior definition and extensions.
The Behavior.cpp/h class now works and can be extended by simply implementing its run() method. However, the subclass must also be extantiated and used in an external executable. An example of this can be seen in PriyaBehavior.cpp/h, and the executable, priya_behavior_process.cpp. In the future, we should move all behaviors into a behaviors/ folder, and autogenerate the executable to be compiled....
Made a lot of changes to the general structure.
Applied object-orienting techniques to the code, cleaning it up considerably. Major design changes are as follows:
Only added libbuttons files. Adding changes to libscout that make libbuttons work.
Fixed bugs I saw in headlights code. Fixed object parameter missing error. Added no-set capability to headlights. Changed attribution in motors. Fixed CMakeLists.txt due to error I put in there on my last commit (extra comma). Should compile now. I'm sorry if it doesn't.
Added behavior.cpp to CMakeLists.txt because I forgot to add it before.
Created first version of git repository; added libscout and motors packages.
The repository root is the ros directory, which contains the ROS stack for the scout project.The included files are those that ROS creates with a new stack or package, and those created manually. Files created during compilation are not included....

A distanza di anni da quel undici settembre del 2001 ancora ci si domanda : come mai le Torri gemelle sono crollate? E perchè è crollato il WTC7?
I complottisti si domandano : cosa è stato usato per indebolire le strutture metalliche e provocare il collasso delle strutture?
Cosa mai si sono inventate le "segretissime organizzazioni capitanate da Bush per scatenare la guerra in Iraq ed in Afganistan?"
Bene, la risposta è data dalla scienza, nessun complotto ma fenomeni dei quali si hanno indizi seri e che sono da studiare attentamente per evitare il ripetersi di disastri simili.
Buona lettura .
There is no indication that any of the fires in the World Trade Center buildings were hot enough to melt the steel framework.
Jonathan Barnett, professor of fire protection engineering, has repeatedly reminded the public that steel–which has a melting point of 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit–may weaken and bend, but does not melt during an ordinary office fire. Yet metallurgical studies on WTC steel brought back to WPI reveal that a novel phenomenon–called a eutectic reaction–occurred at the surface, causing intergranular melting capable of turning a solid steel girder into Swiss cheese.
Materials science professors Ronald R. Biederman and Richard D. Sisson Jr. confirmed the presence of eutectic formations by examining steel samples under optical and scanning electron microscopes.
A preliminary report was published in JOM, the journal of the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
A more detailed analysis comprises Appendix C of the FEMA report.
The New York Times called these findings "perhaps the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation." The significance of the work on a sample from Building 7 and a structural column from one of the twin towers becomes apparent only when one sees these heavy chunks of damaged metal.
A one-inch column has been reduced to half-inch thickness. Its edges–which are curled like a paper scroll–have been thinned to almost razor sharpness. Gaping holes–some larger than a silver dollar–let light shine through a formerly solid steel flange. This Swiss cheese appearance shocked all of the fire-wise professors, who expected to see distortion and bending–but not holes.
A eutectic compound is a mixture of two or more substances that melts at the lowest temperature of any mixture of its components.
Blacksmiths took advantage of this property by welding over fires of sulfur-rich charcoal, which lowers the melting point of iron.
In the World Trade Center fire, the presence of oxygen, sulfur and heat caused iron oxide and iron sulfide to form at the surface of structural steel members. This liquid slag corroded through intergranular channels into the body of the metal, causing severe erosion and a loss of structural integrity.
"The important questions," says Biederman, "are how much sulfur do you need, and where did it come from? The answer could be as simple–and this is scary- as acid rain."
Have environmental pollutants increased the potential for eutectic reactions? "We may have just the inherent conditions in the atmosphere so that a lot of water on a burning building will form sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfide or hydroxides, and start the eutectic process as the steel heats up," Biederman says. He notes that the sulfur could also have come from contents of the burning buildings, such as rubber or plastics. Another possible culprit is ocean salts, such as sodium sulfate, which is known to catalyze sulfidation reactions on turbine blades of jet engines. "All of these things have to be explored," he says.
From a building-safety point of view, the critical question is: Did the eutectic mixture form before the buildings collapsed, or later, as the remains smoldered on the ground. "We have no idea," admits Sisson. "To answer that, we would need to recreate those fires in the FPE labs, and burn fresh steel of known composition for the right time period, with the right environment." He hopes to have the opportunity to collaborate on thermodynamically controlled studies, and to observe the effects of adding sulfur, copper and other elements. The most important lesson, Sisson and Biederman stress, is that fail-safe sprinkler systems are essential to prevent steel from reaching even 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, because phase changes at the 1,300-degree mark compromise a structure's load-bearing capacity.
The FEMA report calls for further metallurgic investigations, and Barnett, Biederman and Sisson hope that WPI will obtain NIST funding and access to more samples. They are continuing their microscopic studies on the samples prepared by graduate student Jeremy Bernier and Marco Fontecchio, the 2001–02 Helen E. Stoddard Materials Science and Engineering Fellow. (Next year's Stoddard Fellow, Erin Sullivan, will take up this work as part of her graduate studies.) Publication of their results may clear up some mysteries that have confounded the scientific community.

I know that I posted another new link yesterday and there have been a couple of new ones posted this past week. What do you say Rick can we have another column for new links posted? Just a suggestion.

Kat Von D&Sephora
Am i the only one that gets exited when they put make-up in the morning or whenever?? It never gets old for me...warm feeling inside of me..i swear its a drug for my face :D
So today i saw that the new sephora magazine arrived...and i got so exited.
Kat Von D and Sephora??? Ah..i love her on L.A. Ink. If Kat wouldn't of been a tattoo artist she would of been a makeup artist. Her makeup is always on point.... Here's some of the article from Sephora....
"People have always asked me what I would be doing if I wasn't a tatoo-er," says Kat Von D, reality TV star and owner of LA's High Voltage Tattoo. "The only other thing I could imagine is doing makeup!" Kat's love for makeup is immediately apparent when you see her apply her signature look—a sexy combo of Old Hollywood Glamour and modern LA edge. And she certainly knows her stuff! At our photo shoot, Kat did her own makeup—in a speedy 15 minutes (it usually takes an hour for makeup artists to finish a look!). Full of tips, tricks, and helpful hints, it's no surprise that this certified makeup junkie created such a beautiful color line. With an attention to detail like hers, no feature is overlooked! (Picture above from sephora.com)
So with that said i think next time i`m in nyc i`ll make sure to hit up Sephora and might get the palette and a couple of other things.But how am i when i`m jobless?? =(

The "for sale" sign is visible to much of Washington just below the roofline of the 64-year-old faded beige "West Heating Plant" in Georgetown. The white banner was erected in June by its owner, the General Services Administration, just before Republicans on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee visited the site to stage another in a series of hearings blasting GSA's allegedly slow efforts to sell off unneeded federal properties.
The empty, industrial-flavored property at 29th and K streets Northwest (for an alluring description, see GSA's website ) was portrayed by lawmakers as prime real estate that would offer a new owner spectacular views of the nation's capital.
Now comes an encouraging word of a receptive market, as well as more signs that the wheels of government can grind slowly.
According to GSA spokesman Dan Cruz, "GSA has had significant interest from the private sector in the Georgetown Heating Plant. We are still in the pre-disposal phase for this property," he told Government Executive . "We will formally engage the private sector and the public this fall and begin the next steps to get the property off of our books."

Posted by Steve McKinley on Sunday, April 01, 2012 12:04 AM
In my "family of origin" we used one particular phrase to describe those people who went to church on Christmas and Easter every year. "C & E Christians?" "Christmas and Easter Christians?" No.
We called them "Religious Fanatics." It was hard for us to imagine why anybody would go to church that often. Most years--most--we made it for one holiday or the other. That was plenty.
My parents did not dislike the pastors of the church we technically belonged to. No particular quarrel with the members. Not alienated by anything specific. Going to church was just something we didn't do.
I can remember a time or two when we went for one of those special events, and the pastor made some snide remark about those who only came for the holidays. One remark like that would pretty much guarantee that the church wouldn't see us again for a very long time. Guilt really isn't a very effective motivator, and neither is an overly effusive greeting or being fawned over.
I have always appreciated the experience of growing up in my family because it has given me a different perspective on things that many of my colleagues over the years who grew up in good church-going families don't have. Life-long church-goers tend to assume that church-going is the default position for ordinary people, and that those who don't go to church have made some specific decision to stay away from church. I know from personal experience that for many ordinary people not going to church is the default position, and going represents a specific decision.
In the next few weeks there will be lots of people in your churches who are not normally there. Maybe they will be visitors; maybe they will just be members who don't come around very often. Resist the temptation to take potshots at them. Potshots certainly won't bring them back very soon! Respect them. Welcome them. And give them space. Trust that God is at work on them and in them.
Look at me.

Butler takes down No. 1 Indiana in OT
INDIANAPOLIS -- The game was tied. There were less than 20 seconds left in overtime and Butler had the ball underneath Indiana's basket.
Suddenly, Tom Crean wanted Remy Abell in the game instead of 7-foot player of the year candidate Cody Zeller.
Then Butler sophomore walk-on Alex Barlow drove the lane and hit a short runner with 2.5 seconds left to give the Bulldogs an 88-86 victory over the top-ranked Hoosiers in the Crossroads Classic.
UNLIKELY HERO:Walk-on gives Butler the win in OT
LOPRESTI:New league should notice Butler
The question for Indiana's coach following the game: Why?
Crean began with a general explanation of what IU was trying to do.
"We were going with an all-out switching call where we switch everything," Crean said. "And we just wanted to make sure we were keeping a man in front, keeping up on the glass and we didn't do a great job of it. It was about switching everything with no fear of being driven in that position."
But Butler did just that. Barlow drove the lane, and got a softly contested shot. A reporter followed up, asking specifically about Zeller's absence.
"Didn't I just cover that?'' Crean asked. "I did just cover that. We were in a 55 and we wanted to switch everything. They were running a lot of high ball screens. In that situation we just wanted to switch accordingly because it was either going to be a drive or a three. And then everybody just had to do what they had to do rebounding the ball.''
Crean asked the reporter to explain his point. The reporter said he just wondered if Crean had second thoughts about not having Zeller in that game to protect the rim.
"No, I don't, and I think I covered that when I walked in,'' Crean said. "I thought I was clear. We just wanted to make sure that we could defend the high ball screen which they had been running consistently and not put ourselves in a switch that would be advantageous to them.''
Crean may or may not like this question either: How far will the Hoosiers slip in the next poll? Out of the top five? Possibly.
As Crean said later — after arriving at the postgame press conference more than an hour after the — it's not like this was Chaminade beating Virginia. Butler is a good team and IU wasn't at its best.
Indiana got out-hustled, especially in the first half when Butler piled up 11 of its 19 offensive rebounds.
IU also had some issues with miscommunication on defense. And the Hoosiers (9-1) got pushed around at times by a Butler (8-2) team that was more physical and tough minded. In addition, an IU team that is accustomed to hitting open shots with regularity was a little bit off from start to finish. Did Butler's defense have something to do with that? Absolutely. But some of IU's wounds were self-inflicted, too.
BULLDOGS:Meet Butler star Rotnei Clarke
BIG EAST:Butler not thinking about conference move
Add it up and it's the perfect recipe for a national television misstep. Indiana let a Butler team that had three key players foul out still find a way to send them back on State Road 37 heading south wondering just what hit them.
"The bottom line was we didn't rebound the ball well enough today,'' said IU coach Tom Crean. "Our communication defensively was good but it was sporadic in crunch time. And that really has got to get better.''
IU actually trailed by seven points with just over 2 minutes to play in regulation before tying the game on a 3-pointer by Yogi Ferrell from the right wing with 6.1 seconds to play. In overtime, the Hoosiers led by four at 84-80 before Clarke hit a big 3-pointer. Then, after a careless pass from Ferrell intended for Zeller resulted in a turnover, Stigall buried a 3-pointer to put the Bulldogs on top.
"We went under a screen which is like at the top of the chart as far as 'don't ever do that','' Crean said. "And we had miscommunication on a switch. There's no question that we cost ourselves at the end of the game defensively, and they made the plays so they get the credit for that. But we made the mistake on how we guarded them.''
Zeller may have tied Victor Oladipo for the scoring lead for the Hoosiers with 18 points but there were a couple of numbers that jumped out in a not-so-positive light. Five rebounds in 37 minutes. One block. And no fouls in what was an extremely physical game where 45 fouls were whistled.
Butler out-rebounded Indiana 40-38. The Bulldogs had 42 points in the paint and 27 second chance points.
"There are a lot of little things that we need to figure out,'' Zeller said. "But that's what we'll do. We will get back to work and figure them out.''

Jana Kramer has only been married a month but the relationship is long over the hill.
The "One Tree Hill" star has called it quits with actor/hubby Johnathon Schaech, E! News reported.
"Jana and Johnathon have agreed to dissolve their marriage," Kramer's rep told E! "Jana is humbled by the outpouring of support from her fans, friends and family, and appreciates the respect of her privacy."
Kramer, 26, began dating Schaech, 40, when the pair was shooting the 2008 film "Prom Night" together, according to E!
In December, Schaech announced his engagement in a video on his Facebook page.
"It was the happiest moment of my life," he told People at the time.
Schaech was previously married to "Married…with Children" star Christina Applegate for six years.
The pair divorced in 2007 and Applegate is currently expecting her first child with fiancé and Dutch bass player Martyn Lenoble.
