It's been a while since I last bothered with putting any sort of subs in my vehicle and in that time, it appears that either I have forgotten how to make the proper conversions or everything just used to be 4 ohm and no real conversions were needed.
With that, I'm trying to get a little bit of extra going and am lost on how to match up speakers with the right amp. I'm currently looking at a pair of 10" subs that are 4 ohm 350 watt RMS. The amp I was looking at is a mono amp with RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 700 Watts x 1. I assume the X 1 is that it will do 700 watts for one speaker correct? so 2 speakers will be 350 watts per? If I recall, putting the speakers parallel, they run @ 2 ohm and in series it will have an 8 ohm impedance thus making the amp not the right choice? or ummmm.. i dunno.. I don't understand why these simple numbers are confusing me so much but I just can not figure this out.
Anyone that could clear this up for me?
If I stick with the two 4 ohm 350 RMS speakers, what rms rating and at what ohm rating should i be looking for in an amp? If I stick with the mono amp as above with 4 ohm, 700 rms X 1, what set of speakers should I be looking for?

Coverboy: Brian
(Photo by Julian Vankim)
"We did all our training courses in the University of Texas swimming pool, big Olympic-size pool," Brian recalls. "One of the tests we had to pass in order to get our certification was to swim a mile. It didn't matter how long it took us, we just had to swim it. It was like 9 o'clock in the morning, first thing. Everybody started at the same time. I wasn't last, surprisingly. But I got about halfway through, and I got really sick to my stomach. I couldn't breathe. I had to stop and I actually got sick. They were like, 'Well, you have to finish.' 'You're kidding me. I'm sick. I'm exhausted. I can't breathe.' They were like, 'Well, take a quick 5-to-10 minute break. Drink some water. But you still have to finish.' So I had to jump back in the pool at the spot I got out. It took me about 35 minutes to actually finish, but it was awful."
Awful as it might've been, it helped Brian turn a corner.
"That did teach me something," says Brian. "When I turned 7, I had a really bad breathing spell, had to be rushed to the emergency room. Come to find out that I had an extreme case of asthma. I've had asthma my entire life. As a kid I played soccer and I played baseball. After a couple years, my asthma got worse and worse, so I had to stop playing. Every five minutes I'd have to stop and use my inhaler. That was one of my biggest things — finishing this whole mile of swimming. With my asthma, I couldn't breathe. That kind of scared me. But I took away that even though I have asthma, I may have a spell, it doesn't prevent me from doing what I want to do or what I need to do. I just need to fight through it. Give myself a break, calm down, and just get back into it."

I'm thinking about trying to open a drop-in childcare center in or near a shopping mall, so parents can relax and enjoy their shopping experience without cranky children in tow. I was wondering, how many of you think this is a good idea? Would you use a drop-in child care center when you go shopping? What do you think is a fair price? (The going rate in my area is $5.00 an hour.) Our shopping mall is also very near the theater - so I might be able to offer childcare during the early evening show, but the Mall closes before the 9:00 show would get over. Do you think this drop-in center would need to operate seven days a week, or maybe take Mondays off? Any discussion would be VERY WELCOME.
As a side note, I have a degree in Early Childhood Education, and thirty-plus years of experience working with young children. What I lack, is a business background.

Trade deficit narrows slightly in February
- Blog Post by: Dee DePass
- April 12, 2012 - 11:15 AM
U.S. exports in February ticked up while imports slid to help lower the U.S. trade deficit by $6 billion.
The U.S. Department of Commerce said Thursday that the deficit created between exports and imports of U.S. goods and services fell to $46 billion in February from $52.5 billion in January.
U.S. manufacturers and other firms exported $181.2 billion worth of goods and services in February, which was up $0.2 billion from the month before. In contrast, imports fell $6.3 billion to $227.2 billion, largely because U.S. companies imported fewer goods from China.
Trade is considered by many to be the new economic engine for both the nation and the state of Minnesota.
Local mayors, the governor, the Minnesota Trade Office and The Brookings Institution are all calling on medium companies here to pursue exporting opportunities. The goal, which mimics a White House initiative, is to double exports by 2017 in and to dramatically increase employment.
Minnesota currently has an unemployment rate of 5.7 percent and still has about 161,000 unemployment people actively looking for work. The national unemployment rate is 8.2 percent.

Hey guys,
Due to the fact that it has been one of the coldest winters in recent history across many parts of the country, I figured it would be a very fitting idea to write a quick post about the health benefits of using a sauna and share a few photos of the sauna in my house. After all, the Finns have reportedly been using saunas for thousands of years in order to survive the harsh Nordic winters! Therefore, I did a simple Google search for "health benefits of using a sauna," and began perusing a few articles, and ultimately came across Benefits of Sitting in a Sauna by Christina Dambra on Livestrong.com. It is a highly informative piece and I would just like to share a few of the highlights with you.
The article begins with a nice little introduction in which the author describes how saunas have been used throughout centuries in various parts of the world for health benefits, and she also talks of how sweating has been a proven and effective way to rid your body of harmful toxins. The author then goes on to list the benefits of using a sauna. Some of the benefits she lists include, but are not limited to: detoxification of the body, weight loss, improved circulation, and pain and sinus relief.
She then goes on to elaborate on how saunas help with improved blood circulation, weight loss, and body relaxation by writing a paragraph on each of the aforementioned. She also lists contraindications, and claims that while sauna bathing is typically safe for those who have coronary heart disease, one should check with their physician if they have any concerns.
Read the full article right here: http://www.livestrong.com/article/109973-benefits-sitting-sauna/
I would also like to invite you to check out:
The Purpose of a Sauna Patrick Dale
Benefits of Sauna vs. Steam by Linda Ray
Also, if you are interested in building or installing a home sauna, and are curious about the price, Fixr.com states that the price to install a sauna can vary based on city and state but it is usually in the prince range of $2,400-$3,200.
Check out their article on the subject right here: http://www.fixr.com/costs/sauna-installation
I hope you have enjoyed this post & these links.
Till next time,

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is set to discuss with Javier Mascherano the Argentinian's possible participation in this summer's Olympic Games.
Mascherano, 23, looks likely to be named in the Argentina squad as an over-age player but the issue has caused consternation at Anfield with Benitez worried about his absence for the start of the new season.
Brazilian Lucas is also likely to be in Beijing with his country while Xabi Alonso seems set to leave the club for Juventus in a £16 million deal, leaving Benitez short of midfielders for the early stages of the campaign.
Benitez said: "This is a very difficult situation for us because we have Lucas, who is eligible through his age with Brazil, and Mascherano, who can play for Argentina as an over-age player, so I need to discuss his position with him. We will see what happens."
Alonso, 26, was reported to be in Turin holding talks with Juventus yesterday. The Basque midfielder has found first-team opportunities increasingly limited at Anfield and the club need to raise funds to make signings over the summer.
Juve president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli said: "We can't deny that we're interested, but there's always the problem of getting value for money."

Dog death reminds us they're animals
Fair bit of talk this week about the couple who left their dog at a dog daycare and were initially lied to about his fate: the small shih-tzu had not slipped outside and wandered away, he'd been killed by two other dogs when no humans were watching.
We're sometimes harshly reminded that animals we think are fully domesticated are actually large, unpredictable predators, like the husky that killed a baby in Alberta this week. We also note that primates are clever enough to try to lie their way out of trouble. I don't think there are any surprises here.

 The Vajrāvalī, also known as Vajrāvalī nāma Maṇḍalopāyikā is "a ritual compendium compiled by the famous abbot of Vikramaśila monastery, Abhayākaragupta (late 11th–early 12th century CE). It is one of the largest works of tantric Buddhism that deals exhaustively with the various rituals and ceremonies to be performed within a monastic compound" (Mori 2009: 1). According to the colophon, this manuscript was written in 1429 CE at Pātan in the famous Golden Monastery (hiraṇyavarṇavihāra) by the Buddhist monk Jivayībhadra, at the beginning of king Jayayakṣamalla 's reign (1428-1482 CE).

Ever lose your temper, or see
your husband lose his, trying to
carve a roast with a dull knife?
Sharpening such a knife and
keeping it sharp is simple if you
know how, and it saves a lot of
snappy language.
The carving knife should be
made of good steel which will
hold an edge properly.
The steel or sharpener is al
most as important in the carving
set as the knife. To keep the lat
ter in perfect condition it should
be given a few strokes on the steel
before using. This method pre
serves the 'edge from its constant
contact with a bone or the platter.
Figure 1. Hold the steel in
the left hand, moving the knife
up and down it.
Figures 2 and 3. Bring the end
of the blade, at an angle of 15 de
grees against the end of the steel.
Draw the knife down the steel to
ward you, as in Fig. 2, so the
point of the blade leaves the steel
near its lower end as in Fig 3.
Repeat the process, alternating
sides, about a dozen times.
Figures 4, 5 and 6 show the
other method, working away
from you.
o o
Teacher Can any of you boys
tell me the name of a first-class
Boy Cruiser.
Teacher Yes. And what
drives the cruiser through the
Boy It's screw, sir.
Teacher Right. And what do
they call the men on board?
Boy It's crew, sir.

Correspondent Tom Farrey is in the foreground glancing at his Blackberry.
Reilly is continuing his push against the legalization of mixed martial arts in New York State. There is currently a bill, sponsored by Steven Englebright of Suffolk County to allow it in New York.
Supporters point to MMA's popularity and the income it could generate, while Reilly, a Colonie Democrat, believes it is too violent.
Reilly was also interviewed last winter by the BBC/Ireland's Austin O'Callaghan.

Gladiator II
He was sitting in the waiting room,
All arrogance and dirty armour.
He waved his obsidional in the air,
drunkenly thinking some show of rank
would lure the doctors from coffee break.
His tin can clothes shed rust on the plastic chairs
with each emphatic motion. "Nurse…."
"Nurse, NURSE!" I was drawing a girl's blood,
she had been hurt in an accident, but would be alright.
I gave her a sympathetic smile, my back toward the man.
"I'm bleeding." He was obnoxious, and I was busy.
Ahh, it was going to be a looong day.
"I'm bleeding." No shit. I could see that,
My once nice white scrubs were scarlet,
What on earth had possessed me to buy white?
The idiot shouldn't have been playing with a sword,
probably wouldn't know a gladius if it hit him,
which, one well might have….
"Alright, what insurance do you carry?"
I plastered a smile on my face,
held the clipboard tightly.
Christ, I hate working Halloween.

Our passionate loan officer is truly dedicated to securing much needed financial help to his clients. I had great rapport with our
loan officer due to shared military experience. He is a master communicator and kept me informed and very assured of every step of
the loan process. He was on top of every situation that came up, and along with the work of my loan processor, we were able to
satisfy all the extremely rigorous VA loan requirements. I call my processor "my little bulldog" because she was always right on
top of every paperwork requirement that was needed and she would not let it go until the paperwork was completed. They both
motivated and encouraged me greatly and assured me we would complete the loan even when I was discouraged. They were true to
their words and I have the utmost respect for each of them and the hard job they do, and they do it very well. I highly recommend
anyone to choose First Direct Lending to handle their loan needs. You will not find better professionals and a company more
dedicated to serving its clientele than First Direct Lending.
Veterans Administration loans are an important benefit for active-duty military personnel, veterans, and their families to qualify for home loans with fewer restrictions. Not every lender is qualified to offer VA loans, but First Direct Lending is not only qualified to offer them, we can complete your loan quickly because every step of the process is done in our office. From application to funding, we work as a team to take care of you just like you worked as a team to take care of us as a service member…which we are extremely grateful.
- Are you current, ex-military personnel or a surviving spouse?
- Are you buying a home with little or no money down?
- Are you refinancing with little or no equity in your home?
If you answered YES to these questions, a VA loan may be right for you.

We bought nicer bags for the bridal party, and then cheaper (but still nice) bags for the guests. I'm glad to see that people are generally doing one bag per couple. I wasn't sure if i was being cheap or not by doing that.
We are doing 1 big item (mugs) and then a bunch of smaller stuff too. I also hope to do a welcome brochure to put in it too.
How is everyone handing them out once they get to their destination?

I really didn't even keep track of my budget for my OOT bags, I know that isn't very intelligent of me but I just tried to get the best deal on everything I bought and didn't buy everything I planned to in the beginning. Other than the suggestions that others have made, which are wonderful suggestions, I also used my rewards points from my credit card to purchase gift cards for target and bought from their dollar spot when things were on sale. And I bought a lot of things that had multiple things in one package, for example target had 3 little nail polishes in a package in the dollar spot and I got some of them when they wer 50% off so for $0.50 I got 3 nail polishes so that took care of 3 women.

All great ideas. Do most people plan on handing them out at the resort. I would love to go around once we get to the resort and personally thank everyone for coming. I think that would be great!!
Posted 24 August 2009 - 04:33 PM
I agree with everyone else, I am doing 1 bag per room, each bag has something for everyone and then little things they might need while on vacation. When I send out my actual invitations, there will be a list of events, which will be meeting at the pool at a certain time, at that point I will hand out the bags and say thanks to everyone. Or another idea I had was since I am getting there before all my guest, coordinate with the hotel, to put a bag in each of the rooms. Still working out the final plan on how to hand them out.
Posted 26 August 2009 - 02:03 PM
I went around when people checked into the hotel and said welcome to Miami and handed them their bags, they all were really surprised and excited, I think it is a great way to say hello!

Dine on the Dock, an evening of fine food and entertainment featuring local fishermen's catch prepared with an Italian accent by several of San Diego's most acclaimed chefs, will take place on the dock at Driscoll's Wharf in Point Loma on the evening of May 31, 2012, at 6 pm. The San Diego Italian Film Festival and Slow Food URBAN San Diego are presenting this delicious and fun evening to focus attention on a revitalized fishing industry in San Diego.
Guests will enjoy fresh and exquisite local food gleaned from the sea by members of the San Diego Fishermen's Working Group. The San Diego fishing industry provided the means for many early Italian families to join the American middle class. The cuisine these families introduced to San Diego, and America, is based on a moderate and sustainable level of fishing spread across a wide range of species, stocks and sizes. Guests will be treated to the best that culture offers in seafood.
Proceeds will be used by the sponsoring non-profits for continuous promotion of this dockside market where ethnic culture and local commerce will help improve our lives and make them more delicious.

NORTH NEWTON, KAN. – The Bethel College Wind Ensemble takes the stage at a different location for their first concert of the school year.
The ensemble will perform at the Fox Theatre in downtown Newton Sept 29 at 4 p.m. (note change of venue from printed posters).
The concert is free, with a freewill offering taken to support music education and performance at Bethel College.
The Wind Ensemble will also perform under the baton of a new director, Chris Westover, who begins a three-year assignment as director of instrumental music at Bethel, a sabbatical and study leave replacement for Timothy Shade.
"When I moved here, I was already looking in Newton for new performance venues," Westover said. "I like Krehbiel [Auditorium]. I like Mem Hall, too, but they're unique spaces. I am wanting to explore what other options there were in town.
"I also thought it would be good for us to play a concert off campus, in the community. I didn't intend for it to be our first concert but I am really happy it worked out."
Westover has titled the concert "BC Wind Ensemble Plays the Classics." It will feature pieces from the 1600s to the present.
On the program are "Nocturno for winds" by Felix Mendelssohn; "Good Friday Spell" from Parsifal by Richard Wagner; Sonata Pian 'e forte by Giovanni Gabrieli; "O Cool is the Valley" by Vincent Persichetti; and Suite No. 1 in E-flat by Gustav Holst.
"The Holst is maybe the most classic piece in our literature," Westover said. "So I couldn't think of a more fitting way to start here than to work on that piece with the students."
"I think a little bit the same way of the Gabrieli. It is called 'Sonata Pian 'e Forte,' which means an instrumental work that is both soft and loud. In fact, written in 1597, it is likely the first work to include directions for loud and soft from the composer."
As he begins his time at Bethel, Westover said Newton and the position have treated him well. Everyone has welcomed him and lent a helping hand, making the adjustment "fantastic," he said.
He pointed to the ensembles themselves (he also directs the chamber orchestra) as a high point of his transition.
"I know larger institutions that would envy the playing level here," Westover said. "To have the high level of playing and work ethic is really great."
As he settles into his position, Westover plans to stay true to some things Shade put into place.
"I am going to go [with] the goals Tim Shade had, commissioning new works and working with composers, working with soloists and with a higher quality of music overall," Westover said.
Westover's own primary goals have to do with expanding students' and audience's musical exposure.
"My goals are always musical," Westover said. "I want the ensemble's experience to be both lyrical and musical.
"It's already a very strong ensemble. We wouldn't be able to play what we are if they weren't. But I want to be able to expose them to an even wider variety of music that I think they should be exposed to.
"The kind of music we play and the kind of music they introduce to the community here is important," Westover added, "because the college community and the North Newton community are very supportive. Whether it's introducing a piece written in 1597 or, in the next concert, a piece written 11 years ago, the ensemble will perform literature that is significant for our students and I hope will be profound for our audiences."
Westover's drive as a conductor is to have performances ask deep questions and make listeners turn inward for the answers.
"I don't want my concerts to be enjoyable – enjoyable seems kind of passive to me," Westover said. "I want them to be engaging. That's what I think art should do."
He added, "That doesn't mean it can't be fun."
Westover already has planned the Wind Ensemble's three other performances for the year: Nov. 10, "Turn Not Thy Face"; Feb. 23, 2014, "Around the World in 60 Minutes"; and May 4, 2014, "Fiesta."
For now, however, the focus is on the Sept. 29 concert.
"There really is a wide variety of music," Westover said. "It's a good one to start with – because if you hear something you don't like, all you have to do is wait 10 or 15 minutes."
Bethel College is the only private, liberal arts college in Kansas listed in the 2013-14 Forbes.com analysis of top colleges and universities in the United States, and is the highest-ranked Kansas college in the Washington Monthly annual college guide for 2013-14. The four-year liberal arts college is affiliated with Mennonite Church USA. For more information, see www.bethelks.edu.

etour | My OHIO Portal
ATHENS, Ohio (Nov. 13, 2005) -- Learning outside the classroom is a part of the Ohio University student experience. A group of students got additional encouragement this year when they were chosen as recipients of the 2006-07 Provost's Undergraduate Research Fund. This year 58 of the 83 applicants received about $50,000 in funding. Awards range from $100 to $1,500 per student.
The goal of PURF is for undergraduates to understand the proper method to apply for grants and then to engage in proper stewardship of the money. At the completion of each project, students report back their results. Creative as well as research projects are eligible to apply for the grants and a full-time faculty member oversees each applicant's work.
"We had a large number of applicants this year, from all segments of the university. Each year the applications are stronger than the previous year," said Ellengene Peterson, a biological sciences professor and member of the selection committee.
Jan Hodson, assistant dean of the Honors Tutorial College, oversees the selection committee, which has faculty members from every college except Honors Tutorial College and University College.
"Every year an enormous range of disciplines are funded by PURF. As simple as it sounds, a major prerequisite for success by applicants is simply following instructions: answering the questions asked and submitting a well-itemized budget," Peterson said.
Funding can be used for anything from travel to materials as long as it is related directly to the student's research.
"I'm so grateful to have received the PURF -- it is funding my trip to Paris to research French sources for my thesis," said Leah Stoner, a senior history major from Canton, Ohio.
Other students need extensive use of facilities, such as labs, as well as supplies. Ozan Suer, a senior biology pre-med major from Athens, Ohio, is one such student.
"My research focuses on diabetes and the possible effect it has on the interactions between the Prostaglandin and Nitric Oxide pathways in murine coronary arteries," Suer said. "I applied for the award because the research I am conducting is very costly."

In fact, you can even find statistics you do not care about. The goal of TwitchStats is to show the community the statistics and information about their favorite games and streamers.
Twitchstats has started as a personal project and it continues to grow each and every day. It is still under development and there are a lot of planned features that will be added in the upcoming months.
Q: Are all the Steamers being tracked ?
A: Yes and No. Until Recently We only collected data from top 100 games and their top 100 streamers. However, since March, We are collecting data from top 1000 games and all streamers that have more than 5 viewers.
Also, any streamer that has less than 5 viewers are not counted.
Q: What is Followers History, tracking ?
A: Followers history tracking TAB on a streamer page is as it's name implies shows the history of Streamer's followers count. You can see all the follower changes from this page.
The page shows every record for the streamer and their follower gain/loss. The page also shows when was the data collected and when was a new stream session started to give you a better idea when the follower changes has happened. This page is updated every 6 hours.
Q: How does the comment system works ?
Comment system uses Twitch API and Authenticate. If you would like to comment on a streamer you will need to have a Twitch account and use that account to authenticate.
The system does not keep any information about your account except your twitch name. After you have authenticate you can safely post your comment. Currently, there are no plans to add any other method to comment.
What is the update frequency on the site ?
We collect data from Twitch every 10 mins and the pages are updated as;
|page name
|update frequency
|All game rankings
|20 mins
|Streamer page
|30 mins
|all streamer rankings
|20 mins
|all team rankings
|10 hours
|team page
|2 hours
|sub count
Q: It seems some data is missing ?
A: Twitchstats started gathering data in August 2015, so unfortunately any data before that date is not available.
Q: What is average viewers?
A: Average viewers is the main tool We use to determine the most favorite streamers and games on Twitch. Average Viewers, as its name suggests, is the calculation of the average viewers a game or streamer has. The calculation is pretty simple, every time we collect data for a streamer/game we record its viewers at the time and divide it by amount of visit.
For example, We collect data for itshafu and She has 5000 viewers and next time we visit her She has 3000 viewers, this means She has; 5000+3000=8000/2 = 4000 Average Viewers. Simple.
In most cases, Average viewers has a built in algorithm to determine the real Average viewers.
Every statistic on specific game page uses Active Average Viewers for the ranking except for Highest viewers and time streamed.
Q: What is Most viewers?
A: Most viewers is simply the highest concurrent viewers of all times for a game. For specific game, this list shows all the highest viewers even if it's from the same streamer. Every highest viewer data is shown.
Q: What is the Highest viewers ?
A: This ranking is only available to game specific ranking. It will show streamers with the highest concurrent viewers. This list includes a streamers only once.
Q: What is the difference between Most viewers and Highest viewers ?
A: The only difference is that the most viewers can show multiple data from the same Streamer. It is goal is to show the highest concurrent viewers list without any kind of restrictions.
The Highest viewers on the other hand will show the highest concurrent viewers per Streamer.
Q: What is all time viewers ?
A: All time viewers is the total number of views a streamer/game had since We started to gather data. This also shows as "Total Views" on Streamer's main page on Twitch with "eye" icon next to it. For games, it is calculated by us.
Q: What is time streamed ?
A: TwitchStats tracks how long a streamer has been streaming when S/he is online. In short, Time Streamed shows how much a streamer has had streamed on Twitch. Game Time Streamed works the similar way, All streamers that had streamed a specific game will added together to show how much a specific game was streamed on twitch.
For example;
Lirik has streamed Arma III 1 hour
Lirik has streamed Cod 1 hour
Lirik has streamed Overwatch 3 hours
Summit1g has streamed CS:GO 2 hours
Summit1g has streamed Fallout 4 2 hours
Summit1g has streamed Overwatch 1.5 hours
Time Streamed stats will look like this;
Lirik has streamed 5 hours
Summit1g has streamed 5.5 hours
Overwatch was streamed 4.5 hours
Fallout 4 was streamed 2 hours
CS:GO was streamed 2 hours
And so on.
Q: What is Average Channels ?
A: Average Channels is a tool to show the popularity of a game between the Streamers. Channel and Streamer means the same thing. The more channels the game has the more streamers interested in streaming/playing that game. However, more channels does not necessarily mean more popular game to watch on Twitch. The viewer count is the tool to determine the popularity of a game for viewers.
For example;
Hearthstone has average viewers of 50k and 2nd on the list compared to Destiny that has 15k and ranked 8th. On average channels, Destiny has 1.2k channels and 2nd most on that list compared to Hearthstone which only has 300 channels. This means, more people like streaming Destiny but more people like to watch Hearthstone streams.
Q: What is followers ranking ?
A: This is very simple and easy to explain. Followers is the count of how many followers a streamer has. You can also see this number on a streamers page on twitch with a "heart" icon next to it.
Q: What is the Average viewers Algorithm ?
A: As We described before, Average viewers calculation is simple and easy. However, this by itself causes some problems on the ranking. A channel that streamed for a very short time but had very high viewer count is effectively put on the top of the list, even though the channel is not an active streamer and mostly used to promote or showcase some specific stuff.
To prevent this and create a fair and real ranking with the active streamers, We have implemented an algorithm to weed out none-active channels. It is only fair to consider streamers as most popular only if they are and active streamers. In short, Average viewers can be actually be called "Active Average Viewers" that shows the most popular active streamers.
This also effectively works for games as well. One very popular streamer inflating the numbers and putting the game on high ranking is something We need to prevent. If the "Active Average Viewers" was not implemented, games like Barbie would be on the top 10 list of most popular games on Twitch.
Q: What is included in the channel details, Streamer page ?
A: Channel details is the detailed statistics for every single Streamer on Twitch. This page shows the personalized statistic for the Streamers. Most things on this page is self explanatory.
This page will show how many games a Streamer has had played in total. It also have detailed statistics of which games were played and their individual statistic such as specific Average and Max Viewers for each and every game separately. It will also show how much every game was played/streamed.
Some other stats that show on this page are, when the streamer has started to stream, when was the last time streamer was online or is the streamer is currently online if so a snapshot of the stream.
Q: I think the web design is ugly..
A: Twitchstats is currently still on beta and will be updated many more times in the upcoming months.
The design of the website will get better, however since I am a backend developer it will never be as pretty as some other websites out there.
Q:What is the Sub count ?
A: Currently the subscription count is only an estimate and it is most likely not very accurate. However, the ranking should give some idea about sub numbers.
Every streamer on this page had those sub numbers at least once in their career so it shows the potential. We are planning on tracking sub counts with a different methods in the future.
Q:What are Team statistics ?
A: Team statistics include all the teams on twitch. As you may know, one streamer can be a member of multiple teams and Twitchstats keep tracks of all.
Most rankings are similar to game and streamer rankings and calculations are based on them. Team details page shows the info of the team, creation date and all the members of the team with the games they have played.
Q: Why not some games and streamers are not on the rankings ?
A: As explained before, some rankings have algorithm to show only the �..active�.� streamers/games on the rankings. They can still be accessed from their own page.
However, they will not show up on the rankings unless they meet the requirements.
Q: Are you a lurker ?

Al Bohl on Tuesday denied reports he was leaving his post as Kansas University's athletic director and blamed the media for portraying him as feuding with KU men's basketball coach Roy Williams.
"You guys have been writing it like it's a case that Bohl has to go so Roy can stay," Bohl said. "I've had so many (people) down in New Orleans saying, 'Al, what the heck is going on with all those rumors?'"
It has been rumored Williams, who has been linked to the coaching vacancy at North Carolina, would stay at Kansas only if Bohl left. UNC is Williams' alma mater, and it has been said he more likely would accept a UNC offer if Bohl remained at KU.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Bohl's boss and the man who would
fire or otherwise replace him, repeatedly declined to comment when asked whether he would fire Bohl or ask him to resign.
"I'm just not going to comment on that," Hemenway said Tuesday evening.
It has been reported Hemenway was told as long as six weeks ago Williams said there was no room for negotiation: Either Bohl would be fired or replaced, or Williams would leave.
Hemenway reportedly said he would take no action until the Jayhawks' season ended, not wanting to take attention away from the team. However, sources close to the chancellor said he might not have anticipated the season would last so long and that he could not have known about the North Carolina vacancy.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also said the chancellor had spoken with Bohl, possibly with the hope Bohl would resign. Now there is concern that Hemenway has taken too long, and the delay might play in Williams' decision.
But Bohl said Tuesday he still was doing the job he was hired to do at Kansas, and that included working with Williams.
"I did come here to enhance all of our athletic programs, to light a fire under all of our athletic programs, and that's what we are doing, no matter how much I'm maliciously attacked," he said.
Asked about the Williams-UNC question, Bohl said, "We have not been contacted by North Carolina."
He said the university was working to ensure Williams remained head coach at KU.
"We also want to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep our basketball program the elite program in America," Bohl said. "Roy and I just talked a few weeks ago, we sat down, and we were going to meet at the end of the season to see what other things we can do."
The roots of the reported disagreement between Bohl and Williams, Bohl said, stretched back to his firing of Terry Allen as head football coach in November 2001. Williams and Allen were close allies in the KU athletic department.
Bohl also succeeded former athletic director Bob Frederick, who hired Williams at KU. In February, Williams said he had not had the same kind of relationship with Bohl that he had with Frederick.
Observers have noted a chilly relationship between Bohl and Hemenway the past two weeks. Jayhawk basketball fans may have noticed that during jersey-retirement ceremonies this season, Bohl and Williams did not share the court. Bohl was at the microphone and on the court only after Williams had departed.
At Tuesday's welcome home ceremony for the Jayhawks, Bohl and Williams shared the stage, but Bohl did not speak.
Bohl, who arrived at Topeka's Forbes Field with the team after its trip from the NCAA championship game Monday night in New Orleans, departed Forbes separately from the team and traveled to Lawrence with his wife.
KU football coach Mark Mangino also is said to be unhappy with Bohl's leadership. Others who work in the athletic department are known to observe whether Bohl's vehicle is in the parking lot when they arrive. If it's not, they take one route to their offices; if it is, they take another.
Responding to reports in Kansas City media Tuesday that Richard Konzem or John Hadl, both KU associate athletic directors, would be appointed to replace Bohl, most insiders are saying either may be picked as an interim director, but not a permanent replacement.
Konzem was an active candidate during the search from which Bohl was selected. Hadl is interested and long has wanted a management position.
Williams might favor them because he is familiar with them and likely does not want a long, drawn-out search.
Williams is known to have favored one of the three finalists other than Bohl, but both the other finalists have run into difficulties in their positions and are not likely to be considered.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Those planning to apply for licenses to operate medical marijuana cultivation facilities and dispensaries can access blank applications beginning today and continuing throughout the summer of 2017.
Under legislation adopted by the Arkansas General Assembly this year, the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission is required to begin accepting applications for medical marijuana licenses on July 1. Blank applications and instructions for completing those applications are now being published in anticipation of the July 1 deadline.
"The applications will cover a lot of subjects and will require a lot of information from the applicants," said Dr. Ronda Henry-Tillman, chairman of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission. "The goal is to have the best possible facilities here in Arkansas, and we've designed the applications to help us find the very best."
The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment, which was adopted by voters in November, established the commission and required that it oversee the awarding of licenses for marijuana cultivation facilities and dispensaries. The commission has agreed to award five licenses for cultivation facilities and 32 licenses for dispensaries. Applications will be accepted from June 30 until September 18. After that date, the commission will score applications and award licenses.
Members of the public who wish to access the applications can visit the commission's website here. Copies of the applications can also be obtained from Alcoholic Beverage Control Administration, or via email here.

Nebraska, Age 11
Before I invented the self-cleaning plow one farmer I knew had to change his team of oxen three or four times a day. I John Deere made a plow that stayed clean when you plowed the earth. I was born & raised in Vermont. I helped a blacksmith work on things brought to him from farms. When I was 18 I became a blacksmith apprentice. People used to complain to me about the wooden plows they had. I became partners with Major Andrus and we built a large two-story factory. A descendant of mine invented the green tractors we know of today.

Mickey Rocks and Chuck Inglish are the Cool Kids, a hip-hop duo that delivers head-nodding, mid-tempo beats and smooth, clever rhymes with flair. THE BAKE SALE is the duo's debut, a 10-song ride that introduces listeners to the Cool Kids' unique brand of alternative rap, which mixes up equal doses of street attitude and indie kid smarts. Much heralded by the music press, the Cool Kids make an impressive showing with THE BAKE SALE EP, promising even better things to come.

The WASDE report roiled the corn market. Late gains suggested traders were expecting today's WASDE report to boost nearby corn prices. The actual World Agricultural Supply & Demand Estimates (WASDE) report looked bullish for the yellow grain outlook, since the USDA cut its carryout forecast substantially. However, the CBOT market couldn't sustain its initial bullish response. May corn had inched up 0.25 cent to $5.0725/bushel late Wednesday morning, while December dipped 4.5 to $5.085.
The soy complex reacted well to the WASDE data. Traders were quite optimistic about the likely WASDE result prior to the report's release, but that didn't keep them from buying actively in response to the news. The indicated 10 million bushel drop in the U.S. carryout was indicative of the bullish nature of the results. May soybeans jumped 16.0 cents to $14.985/bushel just before lunchtime Wednesday, while May soyoil rallied 0.39 cents to 42.50 cents/pound, and May soymeal surged $7.4 to $485.5/ton.
The wheat markets were hurt by the USDA numbers. Today's WASDE report indicated the wheat outlook had declined, with a 30-million bushel cut in its feed usage figure causing a commensurate increase in the carryout forecast. The fact that current winter wheat conditions are not conducive to a bumper crop probably limited the bearish reaction. May CBOT wheat futures fell 10.75 cents to $6.7025/bushel in late Wednesday morning trading, while May KCBT wheat futures tumbled 6.75 cents to $7.3475, and May MWE futures lost 7.25 cents to $7.16.
Nearby cattle futures firmed Wednesday morning. Beef prices proved mixed Tuesday, which probably explains the mixed performance posted last night. However, ideas that grocers will buy beef aggressively during the early part of April in order to meet their needs for early May features seem to be supporting prices this morning. June cattle futures climbed 0.40 cents to 135.67 cents/pound around midsession Wednesday, while December declined 0.17 to 140.37. Meanwhile, May feeder cattle advanced 0.87 cents to 179.75 cents/pound, and August added 1.00 to 181.57.
Hog futures have bounced from deeply discounted levels. The hog and pork markets seemingly peaked at extreme highs last week and the industry now expects a sustained decline from that peak. However, recent losses pushed futures far below current cash levels, which seemingly sparked widespread short covering/bottom picking today. June hog futures bounced 3.00 cents to 121.75 cents/pound late Wednesday morning, and December rose 0.42 to 89.27.

I was recommended by a trav buddy to stay at this hotel service apartment. For 790 baht per night, the place was indeed worth every penny.
Firstly, the exterior part of the apartment is well secured. To get into the hotel, you need to use an access card. Floor 1-4 of the apartment are reserved for daily/short terms tenants like myself. The place was kept squeaky clean, and the water feature in the middle of the hotel gives it a very relaxing ambiance.
The hotel management is rather strict about bringing guests into the hotel and only allow it till midnight. As this is a resident apartment, no kids are welcomed here as they may create some unwanted noise. This is not exactly a kid friendly place, but for couples, or singles who seek comfort and privacy, this could be the place for you.
The room had a queen size bed, complete with a fridge, T.V. and a very clean toilet. They also provide towels and toiletries. For 790 baht, this apartment has the standard of a 3.5/4 star hotel.
The hotel only accepts cash terms, with a 1000 baht deposit which is refundable. Just keep your receipts carefully or you wouldn't be able to claim your deposit. If you wish to pay by card, you'd have to make your bookings online but the price may differ slightly.
The location of the hotel is just 3 minutes away from the Hwang Huai mrt station. Please double check the name of the station, as I may have spelled it wrongly. One station away is the Thailand handicraft center and the Espaniol mall, Robinson and Tesco, and the Ratchada Night market for more bargains. There's just so much things to buy here, and for shopaholics or non shopaholics alike, watch out, you'll definitely be tempted to bring some of the things home.
I enjoyed my stay there. I must thank my friend, Neil for recommending the place. If I ever return to Bangkok, I think I know where to check in next. :D

BC "Minsk-2006" pushed them all the way but Krasnye Krylia remain unbeaten in Group C of the EuroChallenge after a 76-72 win in Belarus tonight.
The hosts put a scare into the group leaders as Krylia watched an eight-point advantage disappear in the final four minutes, but they still had enough to pull out the victory.
Pavel Agapov's free-throws had put Samara in front 72-66 with 3:48 to go.
But Henry Harrison responded with a jump-shot before Dzianis Korshuk buried a three-pointer to make it 72-69.
Valdas Vasylius and Luis Flores then both missed shots for Krylia to give Minsk their chance.
Harrison went to the line and made two to cut the gap to one, 72-71, with 1:06 on the clock, and when Ralph Biggs saw another bounce out for Krylia, the winning streak looked to be under serious threat.
But Harrison missed a three-pointer and Dante Stiggers was also off mark with a jump-shot.
Flores made them pay with a pair of free throws before, and although Harrison cut one more back from the charity stripe, Flores sealed the win in the dying seconds.
Flores finished with 28 points for Krasne Krylia, while Andrey Trushkin also reached double figures with 12 and Vasylius had 11.
Harrison and Alexander Koul both scored 18 for Minsk, while Stiggers added 12.

Real All-Round Strength
by Thom Van Vleck
Prof. Anthony Barker is not one of the most well known strongmen. He is perhaps better known by those he influenced, namely Warren Lincoln Travis and Bernarr McFadden, to name a couple.
Barker also practiced early "All Around Strength". He was famous for not only having strong muscles, but being strong all over! He would do all the "normal" strongman training, but he would also train his jaws with teeth lifting, he would practice lifting with his hair, he did deep breathing to develop his lungs, he was even know to work on developing the muscles in his face!
He claimed to have done 500lbs in the teeth lift and a one arm bent press of 250lbs. He was said to "cultivate" his "luxuriant, wavy hair" and massaged his scalp daily as part of his training. He would allow any man to jump for 6 feet onto his stomach as he lay on the floor. He would roll spoons and crumble china plates to increase his hand strength. He was an expert boxer and was said to have hit the heavy weight champ Bob Fitzsimmons so hard he knocked him across the room! Fitzsimmons had beat Jim Corbett and was the first ever three division champ….so he was no slouch. Barker would even allow a helper to jump off a 4 ft height right on his face to prove his well developed facial muscles. Barker also did all the feats of lifting people in every way imaginable. One of his favorite feats was to lift a 250lb barbell on his shoulders and then have two big men hang on the ends. He would begin to twirl around often sending them flying!
Now, today, I think we realize that some of his "strength", such as his hair, was more genetic than developed and I don't think I'm going to let anyone jump on my face any time soon (even if it might be an improvement). But really, have we lost something becoming so specialized in our training? In the USAWA we pride ourselves on having literally hundreds of lifts that can be competed and records recorded. But the old time "All-Rounders" literally "DID IT ALL". My grandfather trained that way, coming up with all kinds of unique physical feats and stunts to challenge himself. Now I'm beginning to think that the Old Timers had it right.
So, be like Prof. Barker, and think like a real All-Rounder!

A California state senator wants to keep "smart toys" and other electronics from spying on consumers.
Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) is pushing SB 327, a bill which would require manufacturers of internet-connected devices, such as kitchenware, clocks, and toys, to equip their products with security and privacy features.
Also known as the Teddy Bear and Toaster Act, the bill wants to crack down on everyday devices that may be collecting information or listening in on conversations in private settings. The bill would also require any connected device sold in the state to notify consumers whether its capable of collecting information such as audio, video, location, health or any other personal details, outside of the device's main function. This way people can appropriately make decisions while shopping. The device would also alert consumers, either visually or through audio, before gathering data.
Additionally, consumer consent would be necessary if a device is collecting more data than required for its normal use.
Under SB 327, manufacturers would also have to inform people how to obtain information about security patches and feature updates.
There are already California laws in place which require businesses to protect customer personal information by properly disposing of records and taking the right steps to put up security features to keep sensitive information safe.
One product which have been criticized for posing a potential hacking or spy threat is the My Friend Cayla doll, a Bluetooth-connected toy. The "smart toy" was banned in Germany after parents voiced concerns the doll could prompt children into giving out personal information, such as addresses and names of parents.
Common Sense Media, a nonprofit which helps parents understand safe media for their children, also points out Mattel's Hello Barbie, Fisher-Price's Smart Toy Bear and VTech's InnoTab Max as devices that collect data from kids. The company warns, toy companies' servers can be hacked, putting information collected from toys at risk. Home Wi-Fi can also be hacked posing a similar threat and companies could use information from a toy for their own purposes.

Three Concertos for Bandura
- Artist: Ola Oliynyk Herasymenko
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 5/8/2007
|your cart is empty
Three Concertos for Bandura and Symphony Orchestra by Yuriy Oliynyk A NEW HISTORIC BANDURA RECORDING This recording will make an excellent addition to your Christmas present list. It is a CD of historic significance, since it is the first ever to feature original music for the concert bandura and symphony orchestra. The CD includes three concertos for bandura and orchestra by Yuriy Oliynyk. Ola Herasymenko Oliynyk, the bandura virtuoso featured as a soloist in these performances is the first professional bandurist to appear with both American and European symphony orchestras. Perhaps the fact, that Ola, the performer, and Yuriy, the composer, are married to each other has presented an ideal opportunity to create new repertoire for this unique instrument. Ola performs on an instrument custom built by her father, professor Vasyl Herasymenko, who is teaching graduate students at the Lviv Lysenko Higher Institute of Music and has devoted the last 40 years of his life to designing and building the most advanced concert banduras now highly sought by concert artists in Ukraine and abroad. The recordings were done with the 'Lviv Philharmonic' Orchestra and the 'Lviv Virtuosos' Orchestra conducted by National Artist Prof. Yuriy Luciw and Honored Artist Serhiy Burko. Both, the soloist, Ola Herasymenko Oliynyk, and the composer, Yuriy Oliynyk, were recently awarded honorable citations by the Ukrainian government in Kyiv for special contribution to Ukrainian culture abroad. Concerto No. 1 became known as 'American' after it was revealed that the composer, although born in Ukraine, has spent most of his life in the United States. It consists of three contrasting movements. The melodies retain Ukrainian character in a neo-romantic style. In this elaborate composition, the bandura and the orchestra complement each other in a tense, dramatic succession. The bandura gets plenty of time to show off it's artistic possibilities while playing together with the orchestra and also alone in the cadenza sections. Concerto No. 2, the 'Romantic', contains many subtle quotations of ancient Ukrainian melodies that Mrs. Oliynyk likes so much. Again, the bandura is featured prominently against the orchestral texture. The music is romantic, full of unexpected changes and is beautifully performed both by the soloist and the orchestra. The driving tempo in the final movement conveys a breathless mood. Concerto No. 4, the 'Trypillian', pays tribute to the Trypillian culture which flourished in Ukraine between 6000 and 1000 BC. It is full of innovative sounds, both in the bandura and the orchestra. Ukrainian music often expresses joyful moods with minor tonality and somber or sorrowful moods with major tonality. The major and minor tonalities coexist in this concerto, sometimes simultaneously, and sometimes in an alternating mode. This is reminiscent of the ancient modality in early Ukrainian music. The CD and the cassette offers titles in English and Ukrainian, as well, as the duration times. Biographical information about the performers, the selections and the composer is included in the insert. The total recording time is 64 minutes and 8 seconds.

AS REFURBISHMENT of West Sussex's streetlights continue, the county council claims it will 'bring a range of benefits to residents'.
The changeover has been ongoing for several months, with the aim to reduce carbon emissions by up to 25 per cent and cut energy bills.
Pieter Montyn, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "Many residents up and down the county will have noticed road closures as SSE continues its work to replace our ageing street lights.
"The reason we are spreading the work out across the county instead of concentrating on one particular area is to try and minimise the amount of road closures and the disruption this can cause.
"This much-needed upgrade to our street lights will bring many benefits to residents, not only in terms of road safety and making our roads feel safer, but also in reducing light pollution and lowering our energy costs."
It is part of a wider £270m, 25-year contract for street light maintenance in West Sussex of which the government is contributing £150m.
West Sussex County Council said it was working in partnership with energy firm SSE to replace all streetlights over 15-years-old with brighter, energy-saving lights.
The aim is to reduce carbon emissions by up to 25 per cent and cut energy bills.
More than 55,000 street lights, as well as illuminated signs and bollards, are being replaced or upgraded as part of the five-year plan which is due to be completed by 2015.
To date, more than 40,000 columns have been replaced, with the remainder scheduled for completion by March next year.

You've never dealt with serious depression.
There are very few posts on this thread.
Other than yours, they are derisive.
That just tells me that there are many who HAVE dealt with serious depression.
It's not uncommon, and those who are dealing with it should
NOT have a scarlet "D" branded upon them.
Your response doesn't address his comment. What he said has nothing to do with depression being serious or not.
He is 100% right to be cynical of the implications as presented.
*You've never dealt with serious depression*
Those who try to make a joke of this subject have
no understanding of neurobiology and have a basic
fear of the subject.
They have the same attitude that liberals have who don't
understand conservatives. In otherwords, they don't
want to know.
I'm not saying serious depression doesn't exist - I've dealt with it myself in the past, so I'm fully aware of the implications.
I'm just critical of this stance that is implied whenever genetic research pops up about any biological phenomonon, that tries to paint this portrait of genes being the total, absolute, and immutable determinants of the phenomenon.

Phillips not the problem in Dallas
Published 6:00 pm, Saturday, January 23, 2010
Another NFL season is drawing to a close and the annual coaching carousel is beginning to turn. Chan Gailey even got a job in Buffalo. (This is the man who wasn't good enough to be the offensive coordinator for the 4-12 Kansas City Chiefs. Good luck next season, Buffalo.)
But what I think probably has been the biggest coaching decision so far is who is staying.
Mr. Wade Phillips isn't going anywhere until at least 2011, says Jerry Jones, and I would have to concur with his decision. It's not a bad idea to keep a team that's developed some continuity and familiarity together when they've performed at a consistent level over the years. The answer may not always be to abandon ship the second a bit of water seeps in through a crack. Make a repair or two and continue forward.
I think it's one of the best decisions Jerry Jones has made in a long time. In fact, if you want to pin the Cowboys' recent "struggles" — which in Texas means can't win the Super Bowl — on anything, I would say it's the owner's fault.
Let's give Jerry credit where credit is due. When he first bought the Cowboys he made them one of the best teams ever.
He made what was an unpopular decision at the time and fired the Cowboys' legendary coach Tom Landry and pulled Jimmy Johnson out of college and into the spotlight. He then drafted Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith and eventually compiled the super team of the '90s.
(And, yeah, he jumped on the oil and gas exploration business and made a bazillion dollars.)
But that's where Jerry's troubles began. He got a big head.
After winning the Super Bowl, Jones forced out Johnson because two giant egos are too much for Big D (though he eventually admitted that he was to blame for the disintegration of that relationship.)
Being the wise and insightful personnel manager he deemed himself to be after winning three Super Bowls, Jones then appointed himself as general manager of the Cowboys in 1994.
The Cowboys went on to win two more Super Bowls, but it was with the talent recruited during the Johnson era. When that talent moved on, the Cowboys went down.
Some time after those glory days, Jones apparently lost his Midas touch, and the team went downhill in a hurry.
Until this season, Dallas had not won a playoff game since winning its most recent Super Bowl at the end of the 1995 season.
Who's to blame? It is certainly too broad of a statement to solely blame Jones for the Cowboys' lack of post-season success (they have people like Drew Bledsoe and the aforementioned Gailey that deserve some blame as well), but I think Jones needs to be careful before he turns the Cowboys into Al Davis' Raiders.
This thought became apparent to me when it was brought up during one of the Cowboys' late-season broadcasts that what Jones gave to acquire receiver Roy Williams from the Lions (first-, third- and sixth-round picks in the 2009 draft) was what the Arizona Cardinals wanted for Anquan Boldin.
I was floored.
Really? The Cowboys are now the proud owners of Williams' contract when a marquee receiver who helped a team to the Super Bowl as part of a dynamic offense could have been garnered for the same price?
Who made that call?
Oh, right. That would be the general manager's call, Jerry Jones. This became the central point to my thesis that Jones and few others should shoulder the blame for having a crap-tastic post-season record over the last 13 years.
Williams has been a bust, and it showed this season in Dallas' passing offense.
It's not like they were bad (Dallas was the sixth-ranked passing offense in the league and Arizona was only 12th), but could it have been better? Probably.
I mean, every fan I knew got stoked when Miles Austin looked like he was going to have a breakout year.
Miles Austin? Is that really the type of guy you want your superstar quarterback throwing to? Wouldn't a dominating presence help you convert a few more third and 5s?
But, hey, Austin finished the season ranked third in the league in yardage behind only Andre Johnson and Wes Welker. Maybe I'm too jaded to be fair.
Boldin was 23rd in the league in yardage (though he did have to share the ball with Larry Fitzgerald), behind another Cowboy, Jason Witten, who was 21st.
So, where did Williams rank? Sixty-eighth, that's where.
And you want to know who was one of the 67 receivers who finished above Williams?
Terrell Owens. He was 33rd.
Another position critical to any successful team is the oft-overlooked field goal kicker, a position that became a serious point of contention for the Cowboys when it really mattered.
Now, I know an Adam Vinatieri doesn't come along every year, but why is it that Dallas is the team where placekickers come to die?
I guess you can't blame Jones for kickers failing in Dallas, but I would think a decent general manager would be able to sift through the masses of kickers and bring in a guy who can hit a 30-yarder in crunch time. With all his money and clout, Jones should have called David Beckham to come kick. It couldn't have been any worse.
I could go on, but I only have limited space and a finite amount of time and patience (as I'm sure you do. Plus, there is football on TV right now, and reading about football is about .000001 percent as much fun as watching it.)
So, when the discussions come up about if Jerry is going to fire Phillips before his newly-inked extension is over, just remember that Jerry Jones is fickle, he's aging and he is more biased than me.
And if your hopes, dreams, marriages and general temperament are somehow cosmically intertwined with how the Cowboys fare yearly, pray to the football gods right now that Jones doesn't turn into Al Davis.

FAIRBANKS - A former University of Alaska Fairbanks basketball player will serve 100 hours of community service for his role in dorm thefts.
Christopher Adams, a 6-foot-7 forward from San Bernardino, Calif., was sentenced Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Adams lost his scholarship and was kicked off the Division II Nanooks after being accused of eight felonies in 2006. Prosecutors alleged he and another player, Christopher Jordan, entered student apartments and stole electronics, mainly laptop computers.
Both eventually pleaded no contest to one burglary count. Jordan was sentenced to eight months in jail on additional charges.
Adams said he has been recovering from a stroke in California, but intends to enroll this spring at an evangelical college. He wants to again play basketball.
