I think the quality/texture of Mao's movement matched romantic piano piece really well, nearly perfect, such as her Nocturne and Ballad EX. I cannot imagine other people do it.
Whereas her fighter spirit/internal strength is exhibited in her Bell(10worlds), Rach2 program(14OG). I think Tarasova perhaps is not a bad choice for Mao. She brought something different out from Mao. and I personally like the choreography step sequence in Rach2 very much.
Even if Mao go to David Wilson, I dont think Mao can perform the programs with the feeling that only Yuna can bring out (Yuna is a true dancer).
But if Mao continues, it certainly is great to watch her programs for skating fans, during 12-13 season, when Yuna is mostly dormant, I watched Mao's program the most.
When I watched Yuna and Mao perform live, their projection/impression on people's heart is certainly very different.
I wouldnot argue more about PCS, since PCS is also technical and nowadays, I dont understand how PCS was given.
But, performance/artistry alone, Mao is certainly a unique and special skater.

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether a regular expression pattern exists in a searched string.
function test(str : String) : Boolean
- str
Required. The string on which to perform the search.
The test method checks to see if a pattern exists within a string and returns true if so, and false otherwise. If a match is found, the properties of the global RegExp object are updated to reflect the results of the match.
If the global flag is set for a regular expression, test searches the string beginning at the position indicated by the value of lastIndex. If the global flag is not set, test ignores the value of lastIndex and searches from the beginning of the string.
The following example illustrates the use of the test method. To use this example, pass the function a regular expression pattern and a string. The function will test for the occurrence of the regular expression pattern in the string and return a string indicating the results of that search:
|Copy Code
function TestDemo(re, s){ var s1; //Declare variable. // Test string for existence of regular expression. if (re.test(s)) //Test for existence. s1 = " contains "; //s contains pattern. else s1 = " does not contain "; //s does not contain pattern. return("'" + s + "'" + s1 + "'"+ re.source + "'"); //Return string. }

What is the link between the theme of emnity and Friar Laurence whose role shapes the end of "Romeo and Juliet"?
- print Print
- list Cite
As a play of contrasts, Friar Laurence fits perfectly into this motif of "Romeo and Juliet." In his soliloquy of Act Two, Scene 3, the friar reflects, "For naught so vile that on the earth doth live,/But to the earth some special good doth give..."
Later in this same soliloquy, he states,"...vice sometimes by action dignified." So, by marrying Romeo and Juliet against his initial negative reaction to Romeo's impetuous request, Friar Laurence hopes that by joining the young lovers of the feuding families he can effect reconciliation: "For this alliance may so happy prove,/To turn your households' rancor to pure love."
Ironically, however, Fate foils the plan of Friar Laurence by causing Romeo to not receive the priest's message which states that Juliet is not really dead as she lies in the family's catacombs. This twist of Fate, sadly, does unite the families. But, instead of uniting them in amelioration, it unites them in grief.

(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
Following books on baseball among black professionals before Jackie Robinson and on the history of professional basketball, Robert W. Peterson has given sports fans a history of football's emergence as a professional sport in the United States. One of the many curious facts he presents in PIGSKIN: THE EARLY YEARS OF PRO FOOTBALL is that professional football began in the Ivy League. In the late 1880's some college players received "financial incentives;" then in 1891 a recent Yale star, Pudge Heffelfinger, was paid $500 for one game with a team representing an athletic club in Pittsburgh, much more than most players would receive for decades thereafter.
The National Football League (NFL) did not begin until the 1920's, but even with the advent of such famous athletes as Red Grange of the University of Illinois and Jim Thorpe of Carlisle Indian School, fans much preferred the college variety. Unlike their counterparts today, who groom their players for the professional ranks, the college coaches of the 1920's were by and large the NFL's biggest detractors. Until 1933, when the league began adopting rules fostering a more wide-open style of play encouraging the forward pass, it rather timidly followed in the footsteps of the collegiate game
Peterson portrays well the contribution of black players, a few of whom played in the league's early years but who then went totally unrepresented for a dozen seasons from 1934 on. Their reappearance in increasing numbers after World War II, along with the interest generated by television, had much to do with the game's rise to popularity.
The author has relied on the work of a growing cadre of professional football historians and on extensive interviews with older players and coaches to document a lively narrative of how the sport came to be the attraction that it is today.

There are warnings against receiving communion "unworthily". If a church chooses to restrict this to those that they "trust" are worthy, which may exclude people who just walk in off the street, they have that right.
Just as those who ask for people to pray with them are free to choose to pray with those whom they trust are in accord with them (rather than any stranger whose spirit they may not be familiar with).

Last night while speaking to a lady(she is Lutheran) she told me that her church believes in "close" communion. This idea is new to me. Anyway what close communion means to her church is that the pastor will speak with anyone who is not a member and wants to take communion at their church. The pastor does the approving or disapproving after his talk with them. Have you ever heard of this before?
on 9/5/07
No....closed communion is a very unfriendly and ungodly act. A visitor in your church should have the freedom to take communion with the church body. A visitor is always to be treated politely and welcomed into the church activities, if need be.That visitor could very well,become a member.

"Go you all therefore into the highways, and as many as you all will find invite to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. But woe to you, teachers and Ministers, hypocrites! for you all shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you all neither go in, neither allow you all them that are entering to go in." Mt.22:9,10; 23:13

I believe I understand what you are saying and agree. I said what I did to try and get people to think about what they were saying. It is so important in a fourm like this to be as specific as possible in what we say. All too often "disagreements" arise because of people speaking in general terms rather than specifics. They know what they mean and naturaly think that anyone reading will understand.

communion is for believers any place anywhere ,any time.
on 8/18/06
My church explains what it means to be a beleiver, and what the communion elements represent. The pastor then invites anyone who thinks they are a believer to partake of the communion. He also reads the part in scripture where it discusses the consequences of taking communion while not in right standing with God. MY point was that people should be welcome to participate, having explained it beforehand.
on 8/18/06
Helen ... I can see your position as a Catholic, because you perceive Holy Communion to be a renacted sacrifice of Jesus.
But most other Christians believe the service to be a remembrance of Jesus' completed and triumphant sacrifice, Remember, He said "It is finished"
on 8/18/06
Bruce, I wasn't implying that I am the one judging whether someone else should take communion or not. Of course it's up to each person to choose if they want to take communion or not. My point is that communion should be for the whole body of Christ, not the arm from this church and the heel from that one. Make more sense or did I just complicate my answer? :o)

#3 Church fellowship is based on doctrinal agreement. Communion is an expression of unity between all of those who attend together. 1 Cor. 10:16,17 As evidenced on this site, we are *not* all united on the doctrines of Scripture. To attend HC with people we do not agree with would be exceedingly un-loving and irresponsible. We would be failing to give a clear testimony to the truth and a strong witness against error. It would not be love but lazy and selfish to not care for the brother in this way.
on 8/18/06
#2 Many do not believe that the true body and blood of Christ are present in the Sacrament and do not adhere to what the bible teaches about doctrinal unity and fellowship. Those of us who believe we receive the true body and blood of Christ in the Sacrament would in fact be un-loving if we allowed people to attend the Lord's Supper to their own condemnation. 1 Cor 11:27-39
on 8/18/06
#1 I understand that some of you are offended by the notion of closed Communion. On the surface this practice appears unloving. But if you will dig a little deeper you will find that it is indeed biblical and most loving.
on 8/18/06
One's "eligibility" for communion is that they be born-again.
on 8/18/06
Those who say that communinon should be open to any "believers" are guilty of the exact same logic that is used to support closed communion. If it is just for beleivers, then they first must choose who the believers are. If you or I visited on communion Sunday, not knowing if we are a believer or not.

Since we may say we are but we could be lying or deluded into thinking we are, we would be excluded.
Perhaps what you mean to say is that communion should be open to all who chose to participate after hearing an explaination as to who is eligible to participate. Then you would have a true open communion.
on 8/18/06
Communion should be open to all believers, regardless of membership. I once went to a church that had it by invitation only, once a year. Left that church real fast.
on 8/18/06
Well being I don't think it necessary to become a "member" to a church as we are all members to one body through Jesus, I don't think it necessary to exclude nonmembers of a church from communion if they are believers.

About two weeks ago, I came upon the Circle Painting project on Facebook. It was the colors that drew me in, but then I became entranced by how beautiful and vibrant these works of art were, a little bit of Joan Miro, some Frederick Karl, perhaps some Picasso? This, despite the fact that the creators are a random group of people coming together to make art. Even little kids!
The project is the brainchild of Hiep Nguyen, an artist and teacher who believes in making art accessible to all. Since 2007, he and his group of fellow artists have traveled to 10 countries and engaged over 100,000 participants. Here's a blurb from his website that explains the process:
Inclusiveness: Circle Painting embraces everyone into its circle of playful and easy-to-follow activities. Together we paint away stress, isolation, and creative block. Our motto: Art for All, All for Art.
Collaboration: You have an idea, I make it happen. I start a line, you complete a shape.We accept each other's sizes and shapes, colors and values. We make everything big, bold, and fun.
Imagination: Expect the unexpected! See the world in a drop of paint and heaven in a piece of cloth. When we interact with each other's lines and shapes, colors and forms, new images emerge at every turn, stirring our imagination.
This makes my heart swell, brings tears of gratitude to my eyes. This is what I need right now. This is what it's all about. So this Sunday, I'm off to spend three hours at The Great Park in Irvine, with a bunch of strangers to paint circles, squiggles, dots, sun rays, zigzags, starfish, jelly beans, moons, vortexes and . . . and whatever my heart desires.

Without gods
The summer blockbuster Troy is neither as bad as it might be nor as stirring as it should be. As directed by Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot), it is an entertaining display of sword-and-sandal heroism via the medium of modern movie technology. But since this is a story about the Trojans, Achilles and Hector, providing a decent adventure story is simply not enough. Give us an epic or don't bother leaving the ships.
Since Homer's Iliad doesn't begin until the final year of the decade-long Trojan War and ends before the fall of Troy, screenwriter David Benioff borrows from other sources, most notably Virgil's Aeneid, to complete his story. (Homer doesn't reveal the news of Achilles' death until the Odyssey, when Odysseus confronts Achilles' soul in Hades.)
Benioff takes other liberties with the famous tale, such as beginning with Paris's stealing of Helen during a goodwill visit to Sparta. Some of the changes are minor (wise old Patroclus is now young and callow), and some are jarring (two Greek kings who survive in the Iliad are killed in the film). The Achilles story is given a bizarre twist: it ends with Achilles hiding in the Trojan horse and then chasing a slave girl through the burning streets of Troy.
But the most radical change is the exclusion of the gods. The filmmakers said they cut the role of the gods to achieve a "level of realism," and because they had no desire to feature Clash of the Titans–style battles, with Zeus tossing thunderbolts down from Mt. Olympus. This amounts to laughing off the role of the gods because one lacks the creativity to make them credible.
By jettisoning Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Athena and the rest of the Olympian crew, the film presents the Trojan War as a political tale of free will (Agamemnon as empire-builder) rather than a mythic tale of fate (Agamemnon as doomed monarch). That approach may sound like more fun, and in a human-centered universe it might seem to make more sense. But the tragedy of the Trojan War and the majesty of its heroes lies in the fact that the characters know their actions fit into a masterplan laid out by the gods.
This was especially true of Achilles, who had no beef with the Trojans. His attitude, as with most of the Greek kings, was that if Menelaus, king of Sparta, wasn't man enough to hold onto his young wife, he could go fetch her himself. But Achilles also knew that if he stayed behind, he would be happy and safe but forgotten, whereas if he went to Troy he would live forever because of his heroic exploits (which is the only way a mortal can attain immortality, Homer reminds us).
The catch is that to attain such immortality, he must die before the walls of Troy. Why? Because the gods dictated that this was the proper exchange between heaven and earth.
The scene in which Achilles addresses this "last temptation" with his goddess mother, Thetis, is one of the strongest in the film, and provides a hint of how the presence of the gods might have strengthened the story. Without them, the film is reduced to bloody battle scenes and boatloads of computer-generated special effects.
What if the filmmakers had kept the gods in? Then the duel between an angry Menelaus and a frightened Paris could have ended with Aphrodite spiriting Paris away at the last second, since he needed to survive in order to kill Achilles. And when Achilles comes hurtling across the plains of Troy in search of Hector, he could have been wearing the gleaming armor made for him by Hephestaus, god of the forge, since Hector had overstepped his bounds by stealing Achilles' armor off the dead body of Patroclus.
The exclusion of the gods not only makes the tale less dramatic but strips it of moral power. For the ancient Greeks, the gods intervene not to muck things up but to put things right, to guarantee that the war will turn out the way it is supposed to. To remove them from the equation is to remove the aura of fate that drives the story and provides the heroes their luster. (The gods don't bother to intervene in the lives of the foot soldiers.)
Troy has its good moments, including a moving scene in which Hector (Eric Bana) tells his wife, Andromache (Saffron Burrows), to prepare for his death. There is a nicely written exchange between Priam (Peter O'Toole) and Achilles (Brad Pitt), when the old king pleads for the body of his eldest son, whose vision of doom has indeed come to pass.
But even as these scenes and others played out, I couldn't keep from craning my neck and looking for Mt. Olympus, wondering why things were so quiet up there.

text: A house built specifically for beneficial insects hangs at Bierkreek Nursery in The Netherlands The best way to control pests on your rose plants is the natural way. Nature is offers us all kinds of allies to help control the bad bugs in our garden. Ladybugs love to eat aphids and spider mites. Hoverflys eat aphids and thrips. Lacewings eat all of them. Birds are also voracious feeders on insects as are small mammals such as bats. Attracting them to your garden is the first step, but what's more important is keeping them there. You can invite the good bugs and mammals by creating a "host environment". Simply put, it means if you give the good guys food, water, somewhere to raise their young, and a place to overwinter, they will happily go to battle for you when the bad bugs show up. best of all, it's not complicated or expensive. In fact quite a bit of it involves something we love to do already--gardening! The first step is to entice them with something to eat and drink. The drink is water, which can be contained in bird baths, a pond, or a water feature, etc. Just make sure the water doesn't contain chemicals like chlorine. In the case of food, it is already present in your garden in the form of aphids, spider mites, thrips and the other bad bugs you don't want in your garden. But since the bad guys aren't there all season you'll need to provide other food sources, also known as "host plants." These are plants that the beneficial insects love as food and shelter. From a food standpoint the most important plants are the ones that provide a very early food source for the beneficial bugs-- before the bad show up in spring. These early food plants are commonly found in the families of early blooming herbs with good nectar. Examples are some plants from the Brassicia and Umbelliferae families such as mustard, dill, and parsley. Another great family of plants are the early blooming Asters. Aster Solidago is particularly good for hoverflys. The types of early food plants will vary widely by region, but the key to remember is they should be early flowering with good nectar. These will keep your beneficial insects happy and healthy early in the season until the aphid buffet shows up. Once the beneficial pest controllers are happily eating the food source you and nature are providing, they'll want to lay their eggs in your garden since they know subsequent generations will have plenty to eat. So they lay their eggs right where the insect food source like aphids and thrips is, or is going, to be-that's in your roses! So luckily your roses are also the perfect host environment for this beneficial bug nursery! As the season winds down beneficial insects will start looking for a place to overwinter. They need a place to hide that is sheltered like a wood pile. You can provide this simply by piling old branches and twigs of soft woods like willow, poplar, ash etc in a corner of your yard all season long. Come cold season they will be the perfect winter chalet for a host of beneficial insects. Ditto for rotted trees. They also like to live in rough vegetation, which are simply the host plants that were not cut back in fall. So don't cut back those herbs, perennials, and ornamental grasses in fall. Wait until spring so the good guys can overwinter in them. Ornamental grasses are particularly good living environments for bugs all during the year. Birds are also excellent allies in your garden. During the season they eat the bad bugs, but out of season provide food sources for them like bird feeders. Most of the perennials and herbs that are host plants for beneficial insects set seed in fall and that is another good food source for birds. Not to mention the roses themselves. Rose hips, which are the bright orange berries that appear on your roses in fall are a favorite food source for birds. To encourage them simply stop deadheading your roses in early fall. The hips form when the petals of the blooms fall off. Birds that like to live in shrubs are among the most voracious insect feeders. They prefer shrubs with soft wood and dense foliage, the latter being a great place to hide. The soft wood attracts the insects they like to eat, and so it takes the place of a wood pile to overwinter the beneficial insects. If you live in a more rural area small mammals like hedgehogs are great allies. And of course bats! Provide them with places to live like the wood pile, bat houses, and compost heaps. In the end spend a little time researching and asking who the good bugs and birds are in your area. Then think of providing them with the things they need to eat, live, reproduce ,and overwinter. Do so and you'll have nature's army standing by to tackle any infestation that comes your way. View the discussion thread.

After high school, I attended Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
During college I developed a love for kids through my time as a full-time counselor at Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Connecticut.
Professional Years
After college, I entered the teaching profession.
My passion for working with struggling learners led me to the Bank Street College Graduate School of Education, where I received my Master's degree in K-12 Special Education.
Since 1997, I have worked with students from all backgrounds (public, private, home schoolers), including those who have learning, behavioral, emotional, and social difficulties in and outside of the classroom. I have enjoyed equipping and supporting parents, teachers, and other adult workers with a heart for kids, with the tools and resources they need to help the next generation succeed.
The Writer's Life
Besides my love for teaching, God has given me a gift of writing as well. I have been a co-author in two books.
One of the books is from New York Times Best Selling Author, Joel Comm's book, So, What Do You Do? Discovering the Genius Next Door with One Simple Question (October 2013).
The other book is compiled by Suzanne Frey entitled, Marvelous: Amazing Stories of Answered Prayer (November 2014).
More writing and book projects are scheduled for the near future.
Coaching/Inspirational Speaking
I am a Certified Passion Test Facilitator, helping adults, teens, and kids discover their top passions so they can begin living a more passionate and fulfilled life now.

U.S. President Barack Obama and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron called for NATO action against the threat of the Islamic State (IS) and Russia.
Cameron and Obama are attending the NATO summit in Wales where they are discussing the rise of IS in Syria and Iraq and the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine with other military leaders.
They called on NATO leaders to work on building relationships and to promote stability in the region so Iraq and Syria can resist IS. Specifically, they said it is essential for the Iraqi government to be more inclusive of the Sunni, Shia, Kurdish, Christian and other minority populations. They also condemned the murder of two American journalists by IS jihadists.
"If terrorists think we will weaken in the face of their threats they could not be more wrong. Countries like Britain and America will not be cowed by barbaric killers. We will be more forthright in the defense of our values, not least because a world of greater freedom is a fundamental part of how we keep our own people safe," wrote the two leaders.
Obama and Cameron touched on the topic of Russia, calling for a NATO military presence in Eastern Europe to defend allies against Russian "force" and to invest in military installments.
"We must use our military to ensure a persistent presence in Eastern Europe, reassuring NATO members in Eastern Europe and making clear to Russia that we will always uphold our Article 5 commitments to collective self-defence. And we must back this up with a multi-national rapid response force, composed of land, air, maritime and special forces, that could deploy anywhere in the world at very short notice," read the op-ed in The Times of London.
The NATO summit is being held in Wales Thursday and Friday.

I had always wanted a meat slicer and one day my husband surprised me when he walked in the house with this Cuisinart Meat Slicer. It was exactly what I wanted and it hasn't disappointed me in any way since he bought it for me. This meat slicer has a 7.5 inch stainless steel undulated cutting blade that cuts through meat like its cutting through butter. Its perfect for all my meat cutting needs and you can cut just about anything with it from meat to cheeses and even bread. It has a slide control that adjusts from 1/32 inches to a 1/2 inch, so you cut say a football ham into nice thin slices for sandwiches or into thicker slice for dinner. I love it for cutting pork chops in half that I buy at Costco because they're just too thick for us for everyday meals. So I end up getting twice as many meals out of a package of nine chops. You don't have to worry about getting your hand or your fingers chopped off when you use it because it has a polycarbonate food guide that keeps your finger safely out of the way of the fast spinning blade. It has a heavy duty 130-watt motor, so the blade spins vary quickly making any of your cutting jobs go by fast. When you remove the blade to clean it you have to make sure to replace it properly, other wise it will slip out when it's turned on and as you can imagine that can be very dangerous! The slicer its self also won't slide across the table as you use it because it has non-slip suction feet that guarantee stability while you're operating the slicer. The blade comes with a cover for safety while it's being stored and the blade pops on and off easily for cleaning. The guide and the food base are also both easily removed for washing as well. If you find the meat base isn't sliding back and forth smoothly, or seem hard to push and pull back, all you have to do is wipe a touch of veggie oil across the bar and that will help it to slide smoothly. We got ours from Canadian Tire and one of the nicer things about buying it from there is that it has a three year exchange warranty that's redeemable at any Canadian Tire store in Canada. I'm not sure if other stores that sell this particular meat slicer have the same warranty or not, so if you do buy it from another store be sure to ask about that before you purchase yours. If you're interested in buying one for yourself, or as a gift, they're selling on line at Canadian Tire for $139.99 plus tax. I'm not sure if my husband paid the same amount in store, but I'm sure if he did it wasn't much more and it may have even been less. I do know if you buy something from Canadian Tire on line, you can have it shipped to the store and pick it up, but I'm not sure if they also have home delivery. That's something you would have to look into before you purchase anything from them on line. I do know that I love having the convenience of being able to slice anything I want and how thick, or thin I may want it with my Cuisinart Meat Slicer. If you've every wanted one I'm sure you'll love this one as well.

mmq plays arbitrary audio files gaplessly and continuously without needing a predefined queue. mmq is an exercise in minimalism, so it is more about avoiding needless features than anything else. mmq may be used standalone or managed by a larger application. mmq is only configurable at build time. Currently, FLAC decoding and SALSA-lib audio output support are implemented.
RMP allows remote control over playing your music files on a Linux computer. The music can be controlled via a Web interface, a smart cellphone, iPhone, Blackberry, or through a command line shell interface. If you like the song, you can download it to your phone. It supports next, searching, and volume control.
Rubber Band is a high quality software library for audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting. It permits you to change the tempo and pitch of an audio stream or recording dynamically and independently of one another. Rubber Band is a library intended for use by developers creating their own application programs rather than directly by end users, although it does also include a simple command-line utility program that you can use for fixed adjustments to the speed and pitch of existing audio files.

SpectMorph allows you to analyze samples of musical instruments and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, e.g. a sound between a trumpet and a flute, or smooth transitions, e.g. a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. Interpolating between two samples of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be interesting. The analysis process decomposes samples into a sum of sine waves (corresponding to the partials present in the signal, or the part of the signal perceived as "tone") and additional noise. SpectMorph is thus based on the research on Spectral Modelling Synthesis.

As much hyped, Facebook announced and showed how they believe next generation would want their social communication. So here's our take on what it is and if we'd really use it.
The features were inline with what we've predicted before the event.
Here are some of the cool things it brings to Facebook 'revamped' messaging'
But we do agree with him that it'll be the college folks that'll adopt it first who wish to have immediate communication or a painless way to communicate. But we don't think email is going away till this 'next-gen email-ution' continues. We of course loved Google Wave and still believe it's how the over-lords would communicate.
Yes, thinking about an email subject really works up my brain </sarcasm>. You should be using Yahoo's subject generator here.
Some screenshots (why were they blurred, can't you create dummy users in your sandbox environment or something?)
Want an invitation? So do we. But go ahead and signup for an early invite. Facebook's going to ensure that they follow the 'GMail and Google Wave' release pattern by limiting the number of users who're gonna get the invites (limited/exclusivity/closed). We'll surely try to procure one for us and try to share it with woikr readers.
Got more questions about this 'next gen' messaging system. Head over to FB Messaging FAQ.

ovation when they came out for pregame warmups. They kept on
NEW YORK -- Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller was fined $25,000 by the NFL on Friday for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick last Sunday. Brian Urlacher Jersey . Miller popped Fitzpatrick in the helmet with his facemask, resulting in a penalty that led to a touchdown for the Titans in Tennessees 51-28 loss. Titans coach Mike Munchak called the hit "disturbing and unnecessary" the day after the game. Chicago wide receiver Brandon Marshall was docked $15,000 for wearing non-approved orange cleats during the Bears win over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Marshall was fined $10,500 by the league in October for wearing green shoes against the New York Giants. Cowboys defensive back Orlando Scandrick was fined $21,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Marshall, who was deemed a defenceless player on the play. Dallas George Selvie, Baltimores Courtney Upshaw and Buffalos Jairus Byrd were each fined $15,750 for roughing the passer. Pittsburgh centre Cody Wallace was fined $7,875 for unnecessary roughness -- for repeatedly poking Miamis Randy Starks in the backside with his left fist, trying to make the defensive tackle cough up the fumble he just recovered during the second quarter. Wallace was fined an additional $10,000 for a late hit in the fourth quarter. New Orleans punter Thomas Morstead was docked $7,875 for grabbing and twisting Carolinas Ted Ginn Jr. by the facemask. Oaklands Lamarr Houston was fined $7,875 for a late hit on Jets quarterback Geno Smith, while Arizonas Darnell Dockett must pay the same amount for unnecessarily stepping on the hand of St. Louis Chris Williams. Pernell McPhee Jersey . Fans in the Jets viewing region can watch the game on TSN Jets at 5:30pm ct and listeners can tune in to TSN Radio 1290 Winnipeg. Mike Glennon Jersey . The No. 23 seed at the first Grand Slam event of the tennis season has worked out all the details, from his training regime right down to where hes going to eat dinner. http://www.authenticbearsnflfansmall.com/c-81-bears-tarik-cohen-jersey.aspx . According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the Maple Leafs have trade offers on the table for the 26-year-old, but none have been deemed acceptable by the team.LOS ANGELES -- On an exceptional, emotional night, the Los Angeles Clippers returned to their "safe haven" and moved to the brink of winning just their third playoff series since Donald Sterling bought the team in 1981. Sterling wasnt there to witness the 113-103 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, and he wont be at future games. The Clippers stirring victory at energized Staples Center came hours after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for life, fined him $2.5 million and called on NBA owners to force him to sell the team for making racist comments. DeAndre Jordan had 25 points, a playoff career high, and 18 rebounds while Chris Paul scored 20 points as the Clippers took a 3-2 lead in the first-round series. "I think it put a lot of guys minds at ease," Paul said. "Its been tough the last few days, but weve been getting through it." Clippers coach Doc Rivers high-fived each of his players near the bench in an uncommon display of excitement as the final seconds ticked away. Guard Jamal Crawford hugged and slapped hands with fans at courtside on the way to the locker room. "I thought they were great," said Rivers, who before the game said he hoped Staples Center would be a "safe haven" full of adrenaline. "I thought they were tired a lot, and that was the result of the last few days. I just thought they had great mental toughness. They wanted to will this game, and Im just proud of them." Game 6 is Thursday night in Oakland. The Clippers were greeted with a standing ovation when they came out for pregame warmups. They kept on their Clippers warmup suits, unlike Sunday in Oakland, when, in a silent protest against Sterling, they tossed their sweatsuits bearing the team logo onto the court and went through their pregame routine with their red shirts on inside out. Players from both teams wore black socks. With so many sponsors bailing on the Clippers, there were few advertisements on the video boards. A few non-digital signs were covered over. The PA announcer constantly reminded the crowd, "We Are One." One fan woree a T-shirt that read: "Sterling Out Equality In. William Perry Jersey. " The distraction since the scandal broke Saturday was "monumental," said Crawford, who scored 19 points. "You couldnt shake it. Youd try to take a nap, youd wake up, and youd think its a bad dream. You couldnt shake it but it drains you, even mentally more than physically. Im glad we had the strength to get through it. With that cloud over you, you never know. This thing could have gone either way." Blake Griffin scored 18 points and Darren Collison had 15 for the Clippers. Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 21 points. David Lee and Andre Iguodala scored 18 apiece while Stephen Curry had a so-so game with 17 points, including four 3-pointers. "We had the momentum coming off the last game but we had too many turnovers and we were not consistent," Curry said. "Our defence didnt stick to its plan. "We have to figure out how to control the paint and cant let them get off to a big start," he said. "We knew they would come out with a lot of emotion but after the first quarter it felt like a regular playoff game." Curry stole the ball and hit a 3-pointer to give the Warriors a 70-69 lead late in the third quarter. Paul answered with a 3-pointer to put the Clippers up 72-70. Crawford then poked the ball away from Curry, broke free, got the pass for a dunk and a four-point lead with 1:11 left. Paul hit another 3 with 1.1 seconds left in the third for a 77-72 lead. Griffin scored eight points in the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter. Jordan made six of eight free throws in the final period. With the Clippers leading by three points early in the fourth quarter, Griffin scored two quick baskets to make it 83-78. He made a turnaround jumper to push the lead to 90-81 with 7 minutes to go. Jordan had four blocks and Paul had five steals. "We knew it was going to be loud and thats what will be waiting for us on Thursday at home," Warriors guard Steve Blake said. "Weve got to believe and if we do that, we can come back and win two games."

'It's been an amazing experience' - Richard Johnson rides his 3,000th career winner
Richard Johnson hailed the journey to his 3,000th career success as "an amazing experience" after St Saviour at Ludlow gave the champion jockey-elect another landmark winner.
The 38-year-old now needs just four more wins to reach 3,000 over jumps. Sir Tony McCoy is only other rider to achieve that feat.
Appropriately riding St Saviour for his boss Philip Hobbs, victory was fairly straightforward on the promising Highclere Thoroughbred Racing-owned four-year-old, who made his debut a winning one in the Best Wishes For 2016 Juvenile Maiden Hurdle.
Leading two from home, he came well clear for a 21-length call from The Coffee Hunter as the even-money favourite.
Johnson is carrying all before him this term and is virtually assured of a first title in April, one that eluded him when the now-retired McCoy dominated the scene.
He said in his blog for Betway: "It's great to get to the 3,000 mark. We knew we were getting close. I don't actually keep a record of every single one, so I was hoping someone would tell me when I got there!
"I really must say that I'm only as good as the horses I ride and the trainers and owners I've been associated with.
"I'd like to thank all the people I've ridden for over the past 22 years and obviously my agent Dave Roberts who has done such a fantastic job.
"My first winner was Rusty Bridge at Hereford for my grandad, Ivor. At that stage I thought I was just going to be an amateur jockey riding a few point-to-point winners.
"It's been an amazing experience and I've been very fortunate to work with so many great people over the years."
Johnson's career tally is made up of 2,977 UK jump wins, 17 in Ireland, four Flat wins and two international victories.
He rode his first winner under Rules on Rusty Bridge at Hereford on April 30, 1994 and has had 16,744 rides.
His 1000th winner was on Quedex at Stratford on April 19, 2003, while his 2,000th came courtesy of Fighting Chance at Newbury on December 16, 2009.
McCoy himself was quick to offer his congratulations.
The 20-times champion tweeted: "Congratulations to @dickyjohnson77 riding his 3000 winner today.
"Great achievement by a great bloke. @StobartGroup #jockeyChamp #champion."

eikonprOJeKt at Rising Love
I'm really pleased to announce that tomorrow is the opening of my biggest show yet, one that will showcase the work that I've been doing with Omino71 and Mr. Klevra for months. I've written a bit about it before, but this time we've secured a huge amount of space at Rising Love and tomorrow, during the opening, the guys will be painting a 4 m x 3 m poster of one of their Byzantine icons. The poster was generated from a photograph I took during one of their pasteups, which is the whole point of the exhibit, to show off this cycle and this unusual collaboration between a photographer and street artists. I've also been hard at work on a catalog, which you'll find embedded below. If you are interested in knowing more about our individual thoughts behind the project and how it all works, complete with a huge number of photos, please download it and spread the publication around! I've spent quite a bit of time on it and you'll find the text both in Italian and English.
The photo above shows a detail of another 4 m x 3 m poster hung up last week, which I made video about, and then embellished with spraypaint by Mr. Klevra. The event tomorrow begins at 9 pm and entry is free with a tessera ARCI (5 euro without) until 10:30 pm. After that, you'll need to pay an additional 6 euro for the concert that begins at 11 pm. If you come by, find me and say hello! You'll probably recognize me with a camera in my hand.

text: Wait a minute Charlie, I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but Trevor Frank has exchanged an email asking, "Why lower compression?" And, on looking at it, I'm not sure I really have a good answer other than, "Well the crowd says so" and "Well you remember the stories about those monster Porsche 930's with CR less than 7...." etc. FWIW, Audi still seems to be doing something like this with its "low" vs. "high" output 1.8t motors. I.e., the high output apparently runs a CR of 8.9:1 and a K04 turbo to make 225hp/165kW & 280Nm/207 ft-lb while the "low" output 1.8t runs a 9.5:1 CR with the smaller K03 to make 180bhp/132kW and 235Nm/173 ft-lb.

{Note: The Madonna Timeline is an ongoing feature, where I put the iPod on shuffle, and write a little anecdote on whatever was going on in my life when that Madonna song was released and/or came to prominence in my mind.}
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me.
At the time, I was deep into my first serious adult relationship with a boyfriend. We were driving South – to Tennessee – to visit his home and family. It felt like a big deal, but also the most natural thing in the world. We left the Northeastern Winter, traveling into the Spring of the Southern mountains. We arrived as dusk settled on a balmy but cool late-winter night.
This has always been one of my favorite times of the year in which to travel – the stultifying stagnation of Winter usually has me beat down by this point, and I'm antsy and bursting to go somewhere – anywhere – and there's no better where than a road trip.
The year of 'Nothing Really Matters' had been a snowy one in Boston, but as we drove deeper into the warmer climate zones, the dirty snow melted away, so that by the time we reached Tennessee, the ground was barren of Winter, even if Spring had not yet broken.
Looking at my life,
It's very clear to me,
I lived so selfishly
I was the only one.
I realize that nobody wins
Something is ending
And something begins…
I don't remember much of my meeting with his Mom. We got along well, talking for a bit in the kitchen after I put my bags in Paul's childhood room. A walking iris bloomed in the front window of the living room. For the first time in my life, it was a plant I didn't recognize.
(Later, years later, I'd find a walking iris in a local greenhouse and bring it home. They're a strong breed, multiplying at the end of their blossoms like a spider plant, each one a new baby waiting to send forth roots once in contact with soil. The blossoms come at the tail end of Winter, just in time to soothe a snow-weary countenance.)
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me.
As I went to bed, alone, in my boyfriend's old room, after he kissed me goodnight and went to sleep on the couch, I felt the daunting task of possibly entering a whole new family. It was a happy worry though, and I had the hope of one day belonging.
Sleep took a while to arrive. The room was bluish gray in the dim night, the shadows of toys and books were long and deep. Lying in his bed, I wondered what he'd been like as a boy. Would we have been friends? I breathed in the scent of the pillow, curling into myself, trying to forge into his past and his dreams.
Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
Nothing makes the darkness go
Like the light…
For the next few days we explored Chattanooga – visiting a cave and the historic sites of war battles, posing in front of waterfalls and cannons. We had dinner with his Dad and his girlfriend. At an imported furniture store we examined a Japanese tansu, and I bought a collection of heavy marble spheres, polished to a high gloss. (To this day, they sit in a green bowl in my living room, an echo of the past, a pleasant reminder of that almost-Spring week.)
As we walked through the town of his youth, thoughts of a future life together rolled out before me, like some long hallway runner, and I felt warmed at the thought. Everything about my boyfriend warmed me at the time – it was my heart that held a chill.
You're shelter from the storm
Give me comfort in your arms…
In all, it was a very pleasant visit. As in much of our relationship, I was in a somewhat hazy space of not quite letting my guard down, but that time together was a happy one. As for Madonna, this song marked the last single from the 'Ray of Light' album, and it was a bittersweet close to that heretofore-unmatched musical era. To accompany it, she shot one of her most ravishing videos, based loosely on the book 'Memoirs of a Geisha.'
It was a spectacular image overhaul – her hair black, shiny and bone straight – and fifteen years into her long line of transformations, it was a glorious reminder of her power to surprise and find new inspiration.
The video features a vivid, red-accented, kimono-draped atmosphere with a striking Japanese motif – a slightly disturbing clip of high-pop-art that shows what video can, at its best, achieve. She performed this song live on the Grammy Awards – her first-ever Grammy performance.
(Vocally, not her best – nerves seem to have gotten the best of her – but visually a stunning echo of the video.) She deservedly won a few golden gramophones that night – for the 'Ray of Light' album – and looked radiant doing so.

Plane crash kills 16 service members in Mississippi
Reporting by Jonathan Serrie
Investigators are trying to determine what caused the firey crash of a Marine Corps KC-130T plane late Monday afternoon.
The plane, used for mid-flight refueling operations and delivering troops, cargo and supplies, was part of the Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron stationed at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York. It had taken off from the Marine Corps Air Station in Cherry Point, NC Monday and was carrying equipment and personnel to a Naval Air facility El Centro in California.
The plane disappeared from radar while over Mississippi, crashing in a soybean field near Greenwood.
There were no reports of injuries on the ground, but the Marines confirm all 16 service members on board the aircraft died in the crash. They include 15 Marines and one Navy Corpsman.
"Every resource we can pull from will be used to determine what happened," Major Andrew Aranda told reporters a couple miles from the crash site.
This morning, President Donald Trump tweeted: "marine plane crash in Mississippi is heartbreaking. Melania and I send our deepest condolences to all!"
The commander of the Marine Forces Reserve offered his sympathies to the victim's loved ones.
In a statement, Lt. General Rex McMillian said, "The Marines and sailor involved in this incident were among our finest. They dedicated their lives to our core values of honor, courage, and commitment. They will never be forgotten."
The Marines are withholding the names of the service members who died in the crash until they finish notifying their families.

I stand 5'8. I don't feel like I'm that short but many girls I've dated always keep pointing it out. I'm athletic and muscular, very self confident , very hardworking, and good looking (going on what people and girls tell me). I'm very successful for my age, I'm 20 years old and I'm a top ranking real estate agent in my city, been on the deans list almost every semester and have a high chance of getting into the top business school in California. I feel like I have so many good qualities that should make girls over see the fact that I'm 2 inches shorter than average, especially when I'm still taller than all the girls I've dated wearing heels. So is height really a big factor, or is not why do they keep brining it up, after a while it makes me feel bad about myself.
Most Helpful Girl
Height matters because of sex. I've dated a guy shorter than me. He was 5'5 and I stood 5'7. I would make fun of him, but in a teasing way. I was with him for 6 years and I guess he left me with a shorter woman which was only one inch shorter than he was. Anyways, if you're self conscious about your height, please find someone at least 5 inches shorter than you. if you're confidence about the way you look, who cares what she thinks because you're successful. Its like katie holmes and tom cruise or Tom cruise and Nicole kidman. I want to be with someone who loves themselves more. If a girl says that you're short and she meant it, then she's just immature and being shallow. if jokingly, let her know it's not funny. If she loves you, she'll stop and stay with you.00|00|0

Jiminy Cricket Maquette
Height: 10.5cm
Limited Edition of 3500
The Walt Disney Archive Collection celebrates the rich history and majestic artistry of the Walt Disney Company, revisiting seldom seen original treasures and transforming them into an inspired collection for you to display and share. From animation maquettes to archival stationery, the Walt Disney Archives Collection encourages you to take some of the Disney Magic home with you. An animation maquette is a three dimensional character model, used by animators as a way to study crucial angles, reveal the play of light and shadow and clarify issues of perspective. Each maquette is individually numbered and includes a certificate of verification and storycard. Pinocchio was the first Disney full-length film to use maquettes. In addition to the multiple poses for the main characters like Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket and Geppetto, the department also created working puppets, vehicles and clocks. The figurines proved to be so popular that Walt Disney occassionally used them as gifts to VIPs and they were sometimes used as decor in studio offices.

Skeletal dosimetry in cone beam computed tomography

|Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a relatively new patient imaging technique that has proved invaluable for treatment target verification and patient positioning during image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). It has been shown that CBCT results in additional dose to bone that may amount to 10% of the prescribed dose. In this study, voxelized human phantoms, FAX06 (adult female) and MAX06 (adult male), are used together with phase-space data collected from a realistic model of a CBCT imager to calculate dose in the red bone marrow (RBM) and bone surface cells (BSCs), the two organs at risk within the bone spongiosa, during simulated head and neck, chest and pelvis CBCT scans. The FAX06/MAX06 phantoms model spongiosa based on micro-CT images, filling the relevant phantom voxels, which are 0.12 x 0.12 x 0.12 cm³, with 17 x 17 x 17 µm3 microvoxels to form a micromatrix of trabecular bone and bone marrow. FAX06/MAX06 have already been implemented in an EGSnrc-based Monte Carlo code to simulate radiation transport in the phantoms; however, this study required significant modifications of the code to allow use of phase-space data from a simulated CBCT imager as a source and to allow scoring of total dose, RBM dose and BSC dose on a voxel-by-voxel basis. In simulated CBCT scans, the BSC dose is significantly greater than the dose to other organs at risk. For example, in a simulated head and neck scan, the average BSC dose is 25% higher than the average dose to eye lens (~8.3 cGy), and 80% greater than the average dose to brain (5.7 cGy). Average dose to RBM, on the other hand, is typically only ~50% of the average BSC dose and less than the dose to other organs at risk (54% of the dose to eye lens and 76% of dose to brain in a head and neck scan). Thus, elevated dose in bone due to CBCT results in elevated BSC dose. This is potentially of concern when using CBCT in conjunction with radiotherapy treatment.

Zr isotope anomalies in chondrites and the presence of Nb-92 in the early solar system
The presence of Zr isotope anomalies in the early solar system is demonstrated with the identification of Zr-92 excesses and Zr-96. deficits in several chondrites and the CAI Allende inclusions. The isotopic composition of Zr in carbonaceous, enstatite, and ordinary chondrites, along with four SNC meteorites, was analyzed by plasma source mass spectrometry. Most chondrite samples show negative Zr-96 anomalies, which indicate the presence of a pre-solar nucleosynthetic component. Six of them also display a distinct negative Zr-92 anomaly, reaching down to -2.7 +/- 0.8 epsilon units for Forest Vale (H4). The CAI inclusions from Allende, which are among the oldest known igneous objects of the solar system and have the highest Zr/Nb ratios, also show negative epsilon Zr-92 Of -2.4 +/- 0.5. Although a substantial fraction of the Zr isotope variability may be due to pre-solar nucleosynthetic processes, part of the Zr-92 excess must result from the decay of the now extinct Nb-92.

So this guy wanted to take me out today.. We've talked but never actually gone out on a date.
I don't normally go out on dates, so that is something I'm not very comfortable with.
When asked when I would be available, I didn't want to say no because it's just harsh but I didn't want to set a date either, so I said..
"I don't know when...I'll just see you at the gym",
*that's where we met*
At this point my brother was talking to me and I didn't hear what the guy was saying to me on the phone, so I just said...
to whatever he said,
and then he said..
"really, only at the gym?"
and again I said...
and in my head I thought 'oh that sounds harsh' ...and he sounded kind of bummed out, and it made me sad a bit, because his voice went dim, and then I think I heard him say...
his voice went almost to a whisper, but I wasn't sure,
then I said
and he said...
"you're so beautiful"
and I said...
"okay bye"
because it was my reaction to what I had initially heard and I clicked on him ...
As I cut the call, I was thinking 'did he just call me beautiful, and I clicked?' :o kind of like 'did that just happen?'
Was that rude of me?I certainly wasn't trying to be.. but I can't stop thinking about it.. it was unintentional and I feel bad xD

Most Helpful Girl
Well, he asked you out and you rejected him by saying you'll just see him at the gym.
Then you apparently confirmed that he'll ONLY get to see you at the gym.
Then your response to a compliment was "bye" and hanging up on him.
That's pretty rude, yes. I understand you being uncomfortable, but you really did come off pretty cold. I really feel bad for him, poor guy.
If you like him, you'll DEFINITELY need to make en effort to rectify this. If a guy had done that to me, I'd probably leave them alone and back off. That's probably what he's going to be doing now.
