Great to hear he's a really good kid on top of it allWhy would you burn the College Sweetney tape?? Sweetney 100% dedicated himself on the Hilltop. He had the issues after he left.Don't get me wrong, I would love Roy helping him. Game wise-He's more Sweetney than Roy however.

For those obbessed with an official announcement it should come middle of next week after he has finished everything with UCLA like Hollis had to finish his work and othe mid year transfers do.

Dec 6 12 1:19 PM
It is recruiting. I only mentioned Kansas and osu, because I am giving you guys all of the info. They are trying to jump in but that ain't happening. There is no such thing as 100% until a kid signs or enrolls. So the only thing that could go wrong and is still a possibility is if he just decides to stay home and go to uw.
It is impossible to answer over 100 PMs and emails asking me the same questions. So hopefully I have covered your questions. I'm pretty sure the majority of people reading this can understand, the rest can return to their mom's basement at any time.
I just deleted a post about Rakeem Christmas and Ochefu. Really??? Some guy just got banned for stupidity. Funny revisionist history, but the only info that I have ever given that has not worked out was Roscoe and Noel. In fact I specifically said Rakeem would end up at a school not on his list because world wide wes was already in Rakeem's living room. There are only a few schools that wes helps, so where did Rakeem end up. Have no idea why anyone would mention ochefu. None of us ever said he was coming to Gtown. In fact we said he had a GU offer for a long time and was holding out.
I got the Roscoe info from as good a source that there could be, so how that changed between the phone convo and where he signed is the dirty world of recruiting. Funny about Noel. I said in the days leading up to Noel announcement that it was a done deal to uk. A friend in Nikeville confirmed that out in Oregon. I was the first person to say that Shabazz was going to UCLA on signing day hours before any media or the coaching staffs even where informed, because I had a friend in the damn room with all of the players at the Jordan. About 30min later that same friend in the room with the players hit me with Noel to GU. I just wish my friend had known who Driscoll was and what he looked like before hand. So if people really want to keep score in all the years we have done this, then I am more than happy to oblige.
For those that are new to the board and do not know the backdrop about how this board began, here ya go. This board started about 4 years ago when a parent of a future Hoya informed me about the dogcrap repeatedly being posted on another Hoya board about the program, the players, coaches, and recruits. So a handful of us Hoyas began our own little board. We did not start this board to make money or for anything ancillary. This board is for future, current, and former Hoyas. That is all we care about and are concerned with. Others are free to join in and are welcome to participate, lurk, or do what majority of board members to lurk then send PMs/emails.
We initially started interviews with recruits when this board began. But we realized that while we were doing these great glowing interviews and reports about these prospects publicaly, privately these same recruits had their hands out looking for pay to play. So we stopped that. Plus all of these kids are politicians in the making and say what people want to hear depending on the interviewer. The worst thing about recruiting is AAU, but coming in strong second are these recruiting services. AAU people are pimps that feed off of these kids. The recruiting services feed off of AAU. Not all of these guys are bad, but the most do not have a pure agenda. This is all about money. Like that creepy guy Carlos that runs the Hoya Rivals site that would stalk Hollis in gyms in San Fran. Yikes dude, just go to a bathhouse out there. All of these guys pump up players that programs won't take just to get suckers to pay them a subscription fee. And all of these guys suck on the breast of the AAU pimps. It is one giant cluster F.
We love this board. There are a handful of us that post regularly, and a lot of us that just look. People would be surprised at some of the Hoya on-lookers we have, and we appreciate all of you taking the time to check this little board out during your very busy days. We hope you are informed and mildly entertained. Even more importantly, I certainly appreciate all of the guys that take time out of their schedules to contribute. Particularly going to these events and watching the prospects. I can't be everywhere, so it is great that the we have a crew that covers the entire country. From JYD taking time off between performing open heart surgery {no joke}, Tdeals, travelling more than Gulliver, our crazy cousin RDF, old head staying in a freezing gym for hours then walking out into the Vegas dessert… It goes on and on. We all make sacrifices to contribute, and thank you.
This board will continue until we all croak or JT3 wins a National Championship. Whichever comes first. I firmly believe that JT3 will win a Chip soon, but considering Buttercup is on the roster there is a high probability that he will be the death of me. So it is a 50/50 proposition. I never make promises. Not even to my wife. But I guarantee you that in the future I will be WRONG again. It is impossible not to be.

Mostly because I usually dont have much to contibute, as I dont have time to watch AAU ball, HS ball, read scouting reports from random people, etc (and if I was interested in sharing misinformed opinions, there is already a great forum for that). However I do read it almost on a daily basis. And I really enjoy it and really appreciate it. I appreciate the 0 B.S. genuine collective caring for Hoya Hoops without any hidden interests in promoting anything. Thank you for letting me be part of this.As a casual reader who is emotionally invested in hoya hoops but not in much else, I dont really care much about what recruiting people have to say other than who the next Gtown recruit will be. That said, I have been absolutely stunned by watching DSR. I remember from day one Balla saying HELL NO DSR, he is not even a Big East caliber player. I must admit being a bit skeptical at him being THIS bad, as there was absolutely general consensus among recruiting evaluators in saying that this dude was a top recruit. So he might not be great, but he cant be a terrible player right?A few years and 25 pounds ago, I was a decent basketball player. I was never good enough or athletically gifted enough to even play high school ball, but I played a lot. I was a middle of the pack player in park pick up games. Watching DSR play reminds me of those pick up games. In those days in the park, there was ALWAYS a DSR. A guy skilled with the ball, with a few pounds too many on him, who always thought too highly of himself, rarely took the game seriously and always gave a half assed effort. That showy guy in a funky way who shot the ball too much, who everyone wanted on their team, only to lose every single time. I never thought I'd see THAT guy playing Big East basketball.But here he is, and im glad I now know, I dont have to waste my time (just time, cause ive never wasted my money) getting my recruiting info elsewhere

We do not work for any companies. We are not asking for money. We are passionate Hoya fans. We are strongly opionated Hoya fans. I am a lurker. i go to all the sites here and there. Little more when interesting GTOWN info is making its way thru the internet blogs/boards. I enjoy it. Mainly, because there is less noise on the message boards and the fans are generally more knowledgeable with interesting opinions. I don't really get breaking news. When it becomes "official" it gets out there pretty quick. No one out there is denying that there is strong mutual interest between josh smith and georgetown. we'll see what happens. josh smith has had his issues. it wouldn't surprise me if he decided not to trek across the country. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets on campus, hates it, and leaves. Personally, I hope it happens and he can commit to improving his game at GTOWN. We need a big man. If GTOWN can turn him around then we will have hit a homerun. If not then this will just be another stop on the Josh Smith train. But, there is no doubt there is strong mutual interest and balla was the first that let me know about that. IF anyone is keeping score.

A round of applause is in order for our Crescenta Valley Youth Town Council members who have made quite a splash in our community this year. The purpose of the Youth Town Council is to engage the youth in our community, and to represent the voices of their peers.
This year the group is entirely made up of Crescenta Valley High School students: Jennielyn Bazan, Lisa Chik, Lauren Harvey, Sena Lim, Elektra Mirzakhanian, Abigail Sheklow and Jessy Shelton. These young ladies, who are all between the ages of 14 and 17, bring a fresh perspective to the CVYTC and work hard to focus on issues that will empower their fellow students.
The current CVYTC members have only been on the council for three months but have already done quite a bit of work. Their first order of business was to put together a memorial in honor of our fallen soldiers for 9/11 at Two Strike Park. In addition to frequent volunteering at our local community events, they were this year's judges for our local most spirited award for the best holiday décor. You may even have seen them merrily making their rounds during the judging process.
Just last Saturday, this group of amazing students put together a very heartwarming talent show for a local convalescent hospital where the residents were able to relax and enjoy the entertainment with their families.
The CVYTC has several events they want to tackle in 2015. Under the guidance of myself as their mentor, and Harry Leon, vice president of the CV Town Council, the group will work together on an event called Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow where they will encourage students ages 12 to 18 to sell their handmade items at the Harvest Market in Montrose on Feb. 22. The idea behind this event is to give students a taste of the business world.
Even with all of these things completed or underway, the CVYTC is looking to the future, working on several other unconfirmed events. It has been an honor and a real pleasure to work closely with this group, and have the opportunity to watch them grow. They have a great deal to be proud of, and I am excited to continue to work with them in 2015!

Type 1 is water from a clean or healthy source. Formerly called clear water, this label has since been removed to reduce confusion. These may include water from broken clean water supply lines; clean water from toilet tank or bowl; sinks; and bottled water. Despite the fact that the source may be coming from a clean source, type 1 water can quickly deteriorate into type 2 or 3 depending upon such factors as time, temperature, and contact with toxins.
Type 2 is water with some amount of contaminants that can result in discomfort or health problem if eaten. In the past called grey water, this descriptor has since been removed to steer clear of confusion. Sources for type 2 water may include washing machine overflow; commode overflow with some urine, but no feces; dishwasher overflow. type 2 water can very quickly degrade into type 3 depending upon such variables as time, temperature, and contact with pollutants.
Type 3 water is grossly unsanitary, and could trigger serious ailment or death if absorbed. Previously known as black water, this descriptor has since been eliminated to prevent confusion. Sources for type 3 water incorporate, but are not confined to, sewage; flooding from rivers or streams; Wind driven rain, water from beyond the toilet trap; water from the toilet bowl with feces; and standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

Ceiling Repair in Kemah, Texas
Catstrong Restoration applies numerous techniques to repair damaged sheetrock. The most suitable option is directly related to the extent of the damage (small or large area) and place (wall or ceiling ).
Repair Option 1: Self-Adhesive Mesh Drywall Patch
Drywall patches are generally available at home remodeling shops that include a thin metal mesh with a sticky backing. The metal mesh gives support for the drywall spackle. The patch is attached across the hole, spackle, sand and paint. Self-adhesive metal patches work most ideal on wall surfaces and small notches, but commonly droop when utilized on ceilings. Catstrong restoration therefore selected not to utilize a metal repair patch.
Repair Option 2: Cut Out and Replace with New Drywall
The most suitable way to fix the roughly 6 ″ by 6 ″ area of damaged drywall ceiling is to cut out the region and replace it with a new area of drywall by installing a wood support structure, tape the joints, apply joint compound, sand and paint. Among the most difficult part was working on the extension ladder to reach the high ceiling.
Repair Option 3: Install a Drywall Access Panel
The problem with Options 1 and 2 are if the water leak were to happen once again, you'll be redoing the ceiling repairs. Depending upon the nature of the leak, it may be essential to cut an opening in the ceiling to repair the plumbing. CatStrong Restoration has used bauco drywall access panels. The bauco access panel solves both the repair and plumbing access issues.

Snow started falling in earnest at about 4 p.m. in north Lamar and will be here awhile.
The first treacherous driving conditions arose on overhead bridges.
Drivers were losing control, though none crashed, on the railroad bridge on Old Highway 41 north of Milner which had frozen solid. County crews moved in with a spreader truck loaded with sand and addressed the issue.
At dusk, the bridges on Highway 41 near Milner and at Aldora had not been treated and were very slick. Use caution will driving across any bridge.
Roads are wet. The temperature at 6:15 p.m. was 29 degrees. It will drop to 20 overnight with wind chills of 10 degrees.
Untreated roads will freeze. Driving will be hazardous even in four-wheel drive vehicles. If you are not home, get home. If you are at home, stay there.
Sunshine and temperatures expected to rise to above freezing at about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday will drastically improve driving conditions.
Report hazards you encounter in the comments section.

Sephora is a sweet and seductive escort lady from Berlin. She is playful, sensuous and intelligent, and enjoys the company of the well-educated. Spending a lot of time in embassy circles has doubtlessly contributed to her distinguished and sophisticated air, as well as to her conversational style.
Although still young, Sephora has invested a lot of time in her education and travel, making her a fascinating conversation partner. She has a natural and spirited character, and with her charm and powers of seduction casts a spell over others in her own inimitable way.
Thanks to her Malaysian roots, she is of exceptional appearance and extremely sexy, with a beautiful body and a refreshing, exotic aura, making her unbelievably beautiful to behold. God must have been having an exceptionally good day when He created her.
Sephora is sophisticated and self-assured – in an erotic sense, too. For her, sex is an extremely enjoyable pastime, and she loves prolonged foreplay, full of fantasy, but laughter is also a must. When it comes to playful and novel experimentation, she is very open-minded and just loves coming up with new fields in which to play.
Sephora is a rough diamond, still to be polished. If you get the chance to hold this wonderful crystal in your hands, you can count yourself very lucky.

New Zealand May Sell Smaller Stake in Genesis to Boost Price
Matthew BrockettNew Zealand's government said it may offer a smaller stake in state-owned Genesis Energy Ltd. to boost the price after raising less than expected from its asset-sales program.
The government will offer between 30 percent and 49 percent of Genesis, the nation's biggest energy retailer, in a share sale next month, Finance Minister Bill English and State Owned Enterprises Minister Tony Ryall said in a statement today. New Zealand last year sold close to 49 percent stakes in Mighty River Power Ltd. and Meridian Energy Ltd. in initial public offerings aimed at raising cash to fund infrastructure and reduce debt.
"Our initial advice is that a smaller Genesis offer could increase price tension," Ryall said. "But we will not know that until we further test demand in the market, where investors now have a wider choice of several energy companies."
Prime Minister John Key is trying to stoke demand for Genesis, which is the last of the state-owned companies to be partially sold before a general election later this year. Mighty River shares have languished below their listing price while shares in Meridian, whose IPO raised less than the government forecast, are flat.
"Not only is it a bad idea to sell off assets in the first place, it's economic idiocy to sell three in the space of a year," said David Cunliffe, leader of the opposition Labour Party. "The sharemarket just isn't that interested. That's why John Key has admitted he may not be able to sell the full 49 percent of Genesis."
Book Build
Genesis shares will be offered in the second half of March and are expected to list mid-April, the government said today.
The shares will be priced at the start of the offer period rather than at the end to give small investors greater certainty, and New Zealand brokers will bid for them at the same time as institutions to bolster competition in the book build.
Local retail investors will also be offered a loyalty bonus scheme, while U.S. institutions will not be offered shares to remove restrictions on the way information about the float can be offered to the public, the ministers said.
"As with the other share offers, New Zealanders will be at the front of the queue for Genesis shares and we remain committed to at least 85 percent Kiwi ownership," English said.
Genesis had total assets of NZ$3.67 billion ($3 billion) as at Dec. 31. First-half revenue dropped 6 percent to NZ$973 million, the company said Feb. 12.
The asset-sales program, which included selling down the Crown's stake in Air New Zealand Ltd., has so far raised NZ$3.93 billion. The government in December reduced its forecast proceeds to between NZ$4.6 billion and NZ$5 billion from a NZ$5 billion to NZ$7 billion range, citing the revised valuation of Meridian and the withdrawal of troubled Solid Energy New Zealand Ltd. from the program.

When the gothic spire of Christchurch Cathedral toppled during the earthquake of 2011, the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban was one of the first to submit a plan for its replacement. Inventive and eco-friendly, Ban said that if chosen he wanted his building to do one thing above all else: "Stay in the minds of people forever."
His vision, now fully realised, opened to worshippers on Sunday – and it would be hard to argue that he hasn't fulfilled his own brief. For his is the only cathedral in the world to be constructed almost entirely from cardboard. The temporary structure, a triangular prism, is fashioned from 98 interlocking cardboard tubes and has drawn praise from architects and public alike.
"For a simple project with a small budget (3.6 million New Zealand dollars) it is pretty impressive, especially when you consider the circumstances in which it was built," says Douglas Murphy, architecture critic and author. Although it may sound a little, well, flimsy, the 700-seat cathedral is slated to stand for 50 years – and is typical of Ban's style. He and cardboard have a long history. He rose to prominence in the 1990s with a house constructed entirely from the material. Since then, he has completed numerous disaster relief projects using cardboard. As Murphy points out, it has many advantages as a building material. "You can build with cardboard relatively cheaply and without creating any waste products – in fact, the cardboard used is often recycled. To Ban, creating a waste-free building is perhaps more important than the building's long-term sustainability."
But Ban is not the only architect who favours this approach. Australian firm Stutchbury and Pape have garnered plaudits for their flat-pack cardboard house. British firm Cottrell and Vermeulen built Europe's first permanent cardboard structure all the way back in 2001: a "recycled" play space, complete with drink carton walls, at Westborough Primary School in Essex.

Hello Everyone,
When saving .SVG files for web & devices, I generally stick with the standard presets for output. Is this the best approach for optimizing the file? Or is there a better method.
Thus far, I've had no issues with performance…just curious if others tweak the presets at all.
Are you using Illustrator for the export? If yes, check out [this great answer on stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13236365/optimal-settings-for-exporting-svgs-for-the-web-from-illustrator)!

On a Linux host while running a Linux guest, cannot send Ctrl+Alt+F1 to the guest to get at the guest's console screen. Instead, the host's console is chosen. There should be a way to send this sort of keys to the guest, like it is already possible with Ctrl+Alt+Del and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. I wouldn't mind a popup menu of sorts, like VNC viewers sometimes have, from where you can choose the key to send. If one can call the popup not only from the menu but also with a hotkey, that would be perfect.

Has your vacation come and gone? Does working 9 to 5 cramp your summer style? No worries. Sitting by the pool isn't the only way to chill in the summer. These easy well-being exercises are linked to ordinary workday activities. They're simple to implement, and so effective in improving your mood, redirecting your thoughts and reducing your stress that you'll be feeling better in no time and be on your way to a productive workday.
Freeze frame
Trigger: When you drink your coffee or tea in the morning
Tool: As you take your first sip, stop for a moment, take a deep breath, freeze the frame (make a mental or audible camera click sound), and think, "Life is good." As you take your first sip of any drink, morning through evening, create the habit of stopping to take a mental snapshot. Feel the liquid going down your throat. Notice, breathe, absorb and savor the tastes as well as the moment. Imprint on your mind the happiness habit of noting to yourself, "Ah, this is a good moment."
Purpose: This tool helps train your mind to focus on a moment of simple pleasure. It identifies a happy moment and holds it in your consciousness, creating an imprint of positive experience. It cultivates gratitude, a quality highly correlated with peacefulness. Finally, it creates a "pause" that momentarily stops the physical and emotional spiral of the day.
Trigger: When a colleague asks, "How are you?"
Tool: Most people expect the standard answer of "Fine". Instead, try answering with a "Fantastic," "Outstanding," "Superb" or "Awesome." It doesn't matter if these superlatives don't actually match your current mood. Focus on simple basics in your life that you can truly appreciate — like good health, a sunny day, safe children, living in a non-war-torn country. Answer the question with a descriptive stronger than "Fine" and notice how you affect the entire mood of the office.
Purpose: When you find small ways to be grateful, you train your mind to focus on life as a daily gift and you spread that awareness to others. Using these turbo-charged "happy" words creates an opening in your life for more optimism and gratitude.
Glad game
Trigger: Whenever you find yourself complaining at work
Tool: Think of three things that you're actually glad about at work and say it out loud. (You love your co-workers, you like your corner office, you're glad you landed a new account). If that feels like a stretch, then say something that you're glad you're not, such as "I'm not getting a pink slip today," "I don't have a hangover" or "I'm not having a performance review today." Focus your attention on things that you're glad about in your situation, even if there are plenty of things that aren't so great. Feel the gladness; look for humor; let yourself smile.
Purpose: When we focus on the positive (even if something negative exists), we learn to redirect our thoughts and stop wallowing in misery. Gratitude and perspective are direct routes to inner peace.
Take 5
Trigger: Before you check your e-mails at work
Tool: Breathe in through your nose to the count of five. Feel the air as it comes through your nose and expands into your lungs. Hold your breath to the count of five. Exhale through your mouth to the count of at least five (longer is even better). Upon exhaling, purse your lips as if blowing through a straw. Repeat several times.
Purpose: Breath work is universally considered grounding and relaxing. Deep exhalations stimulate calming mechanisms in your body. When you redirect your mind to an awareness of your breath, you create a moment of calm in which inner peace can bloom.
Stop, drop and roll
Trigger: When stopped at a red light, on your commute
Tool: "Stop," "drop" down into your heart and "roll" out a little goodwill to your fellow travelers. Look at the people in other cars in front of you, behind you, passing around you, and recognize that each one of them is just like you: They want happiness and they want to be free from stress. To each person you focus on say or think something like:
• May you know happiness.
• May you be free from stress.
• Peace be with you.
• I hope you have a nice day.
Purpose: This tool "quenches the fire" of road rage by getting you out of your own little world. Commuting for many people can be the most stressful time in their days. Actively using this exercise gives you another way to be in the car. Opening your heart with compassion, you experience a deeper sense of inner peace.
Trigger: When coming home at the end of the workday, before you enter the sanctuary of home
Tool: Before you walk through the door, spend a moment "shaking down" your body, as if you are shaking off water. Shake your right leg and foot, then your left leg and foot. Shake your right arm and hand; shake your left arm and hand. Gently shake your head and let your shoulders relax. Finish with a little twist of your torso to shake off any remaining tension. Finally, take a deep breath and heave a long hearty sigh (a prolonged exhalation).
Purpose: Relaxing your limbs sends a ripple effect of calm through your body. When you clear or shake off energy from a hectic outing, you restore yourself to a place of calm so that you can be present as you transition to home.

Cassel, Seydoux get Beastly with Pathe
Christophe Gans (Silent Hill, Brotherhood Of The Wolf) is to make a new version of Beauty And The Beast.
Eskwad is partnering with Pathe on the project, which is due to start shooting in October.
The film will star Vincent Cassel and Lea Seydoux. The film will be produced by Richard Grandpierre.
Details of plot and what approach the new film will take are skimpy but Gans said: "Although I will keep to a form of storytelling of this timeless fairy tale that is in keeping with the same pace and characters as the original, I will surprise the audience by creating a completely new visual universe."
Principal photography will start on Oct 8.

Abd. Malek, Anie Raflikha (2010) Evaluation on the effects of sea level during El Nino and La Nina events in Malaysian water. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Civil Engineering.

Phenomenon on sea level rise has received a great concern from the Malaysian government and the community. Due to its location, Malaysia is vulnerable to sea level rise threat. MINITAB13 software was used to investigate the sea level rise phenomena using the least square regression method. Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) method generated from MINITAB13 was used to measure the accuracy of fitted time series values, for example the future sea level data. This was followed by null hypothesis test, test statistics-t, t-distribution and statistical significant test. Meanwhile, forecasting the future sea level using exponential smoothing approach as part of time series analysis technique was carried out. These analyses were performed on sea level data sets ranging from 1984 – 2007 from four stations across Malaysia. The regression analyses showed that the sea level was influenced by the 1997 El Nino and 1999 La Ninca events as well as the monsoon season. The impact from the warmth, coolness and the occurrence of monsoon season were significant with the increased or decreased of dissolved oxygen saturation in Kuala Sungai Johor. Thus, during the El Nino event in 1997 and 2004, saturated oxygen value in freshwater was low in Kuala Sungai Johor. However, the occurrences of pre-monsoon and northeast monsoon (in October and January) consequently had lowered the temperature, resulting in a higher value of saturated dissolved oxygen.

Just how effective is Hybrid Columnar Compression? This test shows that HCC is impressive, but that thought needs to be put into choice of compression algorithm.
Comparing database 12cR1 release 220.127.116.11 to 12cR2 release 220.127.116.11.3, I see these new parameters:
Move a table without locks and without breaking indexes. That's pretty cool.
Developers who come to Oracle with a background in procedural languages sometimes do not understand how efficient SQL's set oriented processing can be. This little demonstration should convince them: never use PL/SQL when SQL will do.
We all know that using SELECT * is bad programming. One reason is that you cannot control the order in which columns are returned. Well, you can in release 12c.
We are all waiting for database release 12.2 - but you won't get it on your own hardware.
Indexes may improve the performance of SELECT statements, but what about DML? This simple demo shows how bad they can be.
Many developers find that their code fails with ORA-942, but when they test the failing statement from the SQL> prompt, it works. Why, and what can you do to fix it?
I first came across partitioning with release 7, when it didn't exist. Like many DBAs, I simulated it by writing a lot of application code. You can still do this – and you may have to if you haven't bought Enterprise Edition plus the partitioning option. Here's another way to do it, with partitioned views.
The cost based optimizer makes decisions that can be hard to understand. One of the hardest may be why it chooses indexed or scan access paths: a burning question for many DBAs.

Summit Combined Housing Authority series of new post-homebuyer education classes continues from noon to 1 p.m. Friday with the Lunch-n-Learn homeowner series in the Mount Royal Room at the County Commons in Frisco, the upcoming workshop — "Do you know your Loan? Is it time to refinance?" — will cover the following topics:
> What does it mean to refinance? What steps are involved?
> Interest rates — where they are today, compared to when your closing happened
> Why would I refinance if I have a 30-year fixed loan product? Why would I refinance if I have a 10-year ARM and am only a couple of years into it?
> When will my PMI/MIP fall off … or will it? Other things I should know about PMI?
> Closing costs on the refinancing process — when does it make sense?
This workshop will be led by three lenders, all experts in their fields: Paula Ramey Stjernholm with Cherry Creek Mortgage; Jennifer Cleary with Colorado State Bank & Trust; and Dan Cooper with FirstBank of Summit County
Participants should bring their loan- closing documents, along with any questions they may have about their current loan, the refinancing process, etc. The class is free, and lunch and refreshments will be served. Class size is limited, so please register by contacting Joy Klein, firstname.lastname@example.com, or (970) 423-7041.

About The Bloggers
« Monday's Three Burning Legal Questions | Main | 50 Legal Innovators Named »
Farewell to the 'Bad Lawyer' Blog
The anonymous author of Bad Lawyer launched that blog in August of 2009, just about the same time that I started writing here at Legal Blog Watch. I quickly added Bad Lawyer to my list of blogs that I followed because: (a) BL had a great eye for finding many of the twisted developments that occur everyday in the legal world; and (b) BL offered his own honest opinions on these various developments.
In a post last week, however, BL wrote that he is shutting down the blog. BL first started writing the blog, he says, as a way to cope with certain disciplinary proceedings he was subject to, including a prosecution on charges of attempted tax evasion. He started writing because he was suffering from depression and panic attacks and was unable to sleep, and the blog posts were a form of "self-pitying" and "rationalization:"
You should never doubt that the stories I posted about "bad" lawyers, judges, doctors, drivers, parents, idiots, and morons--these stories, were always about ME. Likewise, I posted the occasional story about admirable persons in and out of the law, these were stories also about me, as well. Or rather, I should say the stories were about--who I aspire to be by the grace of God.
Now, however, BL explains that he has other projects he wants to pursue and, having completed his prison sentence, a life to live with his family. He is therefore "letting go of the 'past' absolutely."
Bad Lawyer has been a consistent source of interesting and outrageous legal news for LBW and for the blogosphere over the past two years. Thank you, BL, for your work on the Bad Lawyer blog over these years and best of luck to you as you move on.

The Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus)
The Tarantula Nebula is the most vigorous star forming region known in the local Universe.
The Tarantula Nebula is 170 000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in the southern sky and is clearly visible to the naked eye as a large milky patch. Astronomers believe that this smallish, irregular galaxy is currently going through a violent period in its life cycle.
It is orbiting the Milky Way and has had several close encounters with it. It is believed that the interaction with the Milky Way has caused an episode of energetic star formation – part of which is visible as the Tarantula Nebula.
The Tarantula is the largest stellar nursery we know in the local Universe. In fact if this enormous complex of stars, gas and dust were at the distance of the Orion Nebula it would be visible during the day and cover a quarter of the sky.

The British Library and Delia Smith celebrate the Golden Age of British Cookery
With the help of Britain's favourite cook, who has often spoken of the debt she owes to the great cookery writers of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries, the British Library has created a unique exhibition from its collection of influential cookery books from the golden period of British cookery.
The exhibition, Eating In: The Delia Collection, has been co-curated by Delia Smith, and runs from Friday 27th February until Tuesday 25th May 2004.
As a young cook, Delia spent hours in the British Museum reading room re-discovering traditional recipes, such as those of Nineteenth century writer Eliza Acton, and honing her techniques. Earlier this year, to celebrate her thirty years with the BBC, her publisher BBC Books adopted Eliza Acton's Modern Cookery (1846) from the collection on her behalf as part of the Library's Adopt-a-book scheme (see image on right).
The exhibition will be on display in the entrance hall of the British Library and is open to the public free of charge. Visiting hours are:
Monday : 9.30am - 6.00pm Tuesday : 9.30am - 8.00pm Wednesday : 9.30am - 6.00pm Thursday : 9.30am - 6.00pm Friday : 9.30am - 6.00pm Saturday : 9.30am - 5.00pm Sunday : 11.00am - 5.00pm
Ever fancied a cooking holiday? Ever fancied learning to make bread - www.cookingholidays.co.uk
The collection is timed to coincide with the publication of the two new titles in The Delia Collection:
Pork <click here> Italian <click here>
The Delia Interview:
Delia has huge affection for the British Museum Reading Room, which she visited regularly for 18 months as a young cook, researching traditional English recipes including those of her favourite cookery writer, Eliza Acton. She spent the morning at the British Library recently to record some of her thoughts for the British Library Sound Archive, and to provide captions for the exhibition of 18th and 19th century cookery books that she is co-curating. It opens for four months from 27th February 2004 (see attached Press Release). While there, she talked to the British Library's food expert, Dr Polly Russell, about her early days as a cookery writer, and her love of British produce and cuisine.
Could you talk about your previous connection to the British Library and how that came about?
I was working in a little French restaurant in London and one day I was talking to one of the customers, who was an historian, and I said to him "I'm desperate to learn to cook". He said "if you look into your history books, you will find that the British were cooking better than any other country in the world in the 18th century" and said I could get a ticket to go into the Reading Room at the British Museum. So I did that and I found it was quite easy and quite amazing that I could actually walk into this beautiful library and book a little desk and then go and ask for these books to be delivered.
Can you summarise what these books taught you?
I acquired a wonderful grounding in cookery and also some really good recipes. I collected about four little exercise books full of these recipes. At that time I'd moved on from the restaurant and was preparing food for private dinner parties, and sometimes I would ask the people if they would mind trying out an 18th century meal, which they were happy to do.
What do you admire so much about 19th century writers such as Eliza Acton?
I think it was the best period when we had the best ingredients and the best produce because we live in a group of islands that's able to produce it all. We still have, to this day, fantastic produce. Eliza Acton has an awful lot of really good advice. I think she's the best writer of recipes in the English language and I've learnt many things from her. I think she had an understanding and a simplicity and the older I get, the more simplicity appeals.
How would you describe what home cookery is to you?
To me, home cooking is always a hundred times better than anything you can have in a restaurant. The only place you can find good British cooking is in the home. You can't have a good steak and kidney pudding in a restaurant, which I think is one of the great delicacies. To me, cooking at home is the essence of British cooking.
These books, like the Hannah Glasse and Eliza Acton, emphasise how food is part of life's great pleasures but there's also this undercurrent about health.
If you were Eliza Acton, or Hannah Glasse, you had square meals, but you didn't have the chocolate bars and bags of crisps that we have now. So really, if you were to go back and take all that away, in fact we were healthier. I don't advocate using double cream every day and I don't advocate having a chicken plastered in butter every day, but when I do cook a chicken, I want butter on it! I believe obesity problems come mainly from an addiction to sugar, so although I love puddings and I love sweet things, at home we've had a tradition of only having anything sweet at the weekends, but then having something really fantastic. We need sweet things in life so long as it's not over-emphasised.

"Advocacy" has many definitions. ALA Past President Carol Brey-Casiano defined it as "simply the ability to talk to your neighbors about the library" or to be "willing to speak up for libraries". [1]
AASL Past President (2003-2004) Frances R. Roscello used "a planned, deliberate, sustained effort to gain awareness and understanding of an issue or issues incrementally." [2]
The resources to support advocacy efforts are extensive, starting with the ALA "Issues and Advocacy" web page.

You move to a new state, get a new job, and thanks to banks gobbling each other up like candy, you don't have to open a new bank account. But be careful when setting up your direct deposit.
Most banks want you to use the routing number for the bank in the state the account was opened in. A few, like Washington Mutual, have you use the routing number for the account in the new state.
Ask first, before your paycheck goes into limbo land.

Dear Annie: I am a happily married woman. I also am close to "Tom," whom I have known for 15 years. My husband is friendly with Tom, as well.
The problem is Tom's girlfriend. There never has been anything sexual about my relationship with Tom. He is four years younger, and I think of him as a little brother. I have done everything I can think of to welcome his girlfriend. I've called her. I've e-mailed so she can get to know me better. I've invited her for dinner. I've offered to invite Tom over only when my husband is home. None of it seems to matter. She still thinks he's cheating on her with me.
Tom has been there during the toughest times of my life. He doesn't drive due to a physical disability, so I'm lucky to see him a few times a month. His girlfriend sees him almost every night, but even when she's with him at my house, she gets jealous and picks a fight. Tom does not condone her behavior, but I'm beginning to feel angry that she is accusing me of things I would never do, such as cheat on my husband.
Tom is like family to me. How can I make this woman understand that we are friends and nothing more? I'd love to hang out and have fun with both of them, but she is unwilling. Any suggestions?
— At Wits' End
Dear AWE: Tom's girlfriend is very insecure. She is unreasonably jealous because she cannot control the relationship Tom has with you except by eliminating it altogether. That is her ultimate goal and the reason why your friendly overtures are not working. If Tom cannot reassure her sufficiently, he will continue to distance himself until he breaks it off with her — or you. Sorry.
Dear Annie: I have a large extended family, with many aunts, uncles and cousins. We try to get together once or twice a year. My aunts and uncles usually attend these gatherings, but few of the cousins show up. I have first cousins I haven't seen in years, and we all live within 30 miles of each other.
The children of these cousins now are graduating from high school, getting married and having babies. My mailbox is overflowing with wedding and shower invitations and graduation announcements. I send gifts to those cousins whose families I am in contact with, but I resent receiving all these announcements from cousins I never see and who make no attempt to have a relationship with me. When I receive these invitations, I ignore them. I know other family members agree with me but still feel obligated to send gifts.
How do people have the nerve to send invitations to people they never see? Do I tell them how I feel or just continue to ignore their mail?
— Related in Name Only
Dear Related: If you have no connection to these cousins, never see them and don't particularly care about them, there is no reason to attend their functions or send gifts — unless, of course, it is to reciprocate for gifts they have sent to you.
Dear Annie: You printed a letter from "Guilford, Conn.," who discovered she had been taking her thyroid medication incorrectly, which was why she wasn't feeling any better. She was supposed to take it 30 minutes before breakfast. Her doctor had not given her this information.
I am an RN and have been taking thyroid replacement since 1962. In addition to the timing of the pill, you are supposed to take it with a full glass of water. You also should not take vitamin-mineral supplements within four hours of taking the thyroid medication.
"Guilford" is right. If you take the drug properly, it can make you function at a much higher level. Thank you for your column. You do a world of good.
Dear J.G.: We appreciate the kind words and your expert suggestions. Anyone on medication should double-check with the pharmacist to find out precisely how to take it.
