|Hello gorgeous.
Over the course of the past couple weeks, there's been some controversy regarding a private 10-minute screening of The Hobbit, part one of which is due out on December 14. Director Peter Jackson made a bold move in the filming process, deciding to shoot the film at 48fps (frames per second) as opposed to the standard 24fps. There have been strong reactions among those who were present at the screening in both directions - some think it's the best thing since sliced bread, and others think it's the worst innovation in cinematic history.
Jackson isn't alone in his desire to take cinematic picture quality to the next level; James Cameron (of Titanic and Avatar fame) intends to shoot his Avatar sequel at a staggering 60fps. But that might not be as good an idea as it sounds.
There were, of course, those who thought it was "mind-blowing" and want nothing less than for every upcoming film in existence to be shot at this higher frame rate. But there were just as many, if not more, who were, shall we say, less than impressed:
That was Badass Digest's Devin Faraci, in a withering review of the new technology. And he doesn't seem to be alone in his opinion. Many of the reviewers praised the quality of sweeping landscape shots, but couldn't stand anything shot on a set or inside a building.Here's what The Hobbit looked like to me: a hi-def version of the 1970s I, Claudius. It is drenched in a TV-like — specifically 70s era BBC — video look. People on Twitter have asked if it has that soap opera look you get from badly calibrated TVs at Best Buy, and the answer is an emphatic YES. The 48fps footage I saw looked terrible. It looked completely non-cinematic. The sets looked like sets. I've been on sets of movies on the scale of The Hobbit, and sets don't even look like sets when you're on them live ... but these looked like sets. The other comparison I kept coming to, as I was watching the footage, was that it all looked like behind the scenes video. The magical illusion of cinema is stripped away completely.
Unfortunately, I know exactly what Faraci is talking about when he references soap operas. I've seen ultra-HD movies on ultra-HD televisions that looked atrocious. If The Hobbit is anything like what I saw, I'll be extraordinarily disappointed. It really did have that "soap opera" feel.
|Don't you do this to me, Peter.

XML may be seen as the holy grail of information interoperability, but the New South Wales government's experience with the technology warns of how the information silos of yesteryear can be repeated.
During a presentation at this year's OASIS Open Standards conference in Sydney, NSW Department of Commerce information architecture manager Ken Bullock says XML is seen as a universal data interchange but "where you can come unstuck is in finding the meaning of the data".
"XML is easy to use but is only effective if done consistently [so] the governance of XML is what we're about," Bullock says, adding that real interoperability occurs at the semantic level.
"Semantics is conveying the meaning of information and the processes experienced in information [therefore] is a business issue," he says. "Information is a corporate asset anyone using XML needs to understand."
The NSW government's Chief Information Office, headed by CIO Paul Edgecumbe, is charged with the daunting task of integrating and rationalising the IT systems of the state's 180-odd agencies, most of which are separate. Bullock says IT expenditure in NSW is "well over A$1 billion", including A$250 million for telecommunications services.
"To deliver services to 180 agencies the expectation is that we do this in an integrated way," he says, adding agencies like health, juvenile justice, and police are all running different systems."You choose a scheme but if the other department isn't using it you will need to map [the data]," he says. "It would be nice to get some consistency."
Bullock spoke of "islands of XML" arising from uncontrolled use of standards, no consistent approach for defining and using XML and agency XML resources not being "easily discoverable or reusable".
"In our experience [you need to] prioritise, compromise and publicise," Bullock says. "XML is not in isolation. XML is not just a technical issue and a collaborative approach is needed — it's more than XML."
The department developed an interim system in-house, with one structure for content which includes 80 applications, 250 standards and "it works", says Bullock.
Although "fairly straightforward", Bullock conceded it is "not a lot in use". But, as a result, NSW is now beginning to share data and applications across sectors. "The best we can do at the moment is [encourage] voluntary adoption of standards between agencies," he says. He adds that in future this may be mandated. "Governments and large enterprises have the same issues, which are about more that just XML for interoperability."
NSW is also "busily wrapping" its legacy systems with XML. Bullock is adamant: "If you adhere to standard XML it will become a means for systems to interoperate".
Adding to the challenges is the necessity for systems to interoperate across jurisdictions. For example, if an aged pensioner attempts to renew a NSW driver's licence, this involves agencies cooperating. As such, NSW has asked the federal government for funding to enable interoperability.
When asked which department he considers to be leading examples of data interoperability, Bullock said NSW Police has done a good job with its mainframe migration.
"We supported the NSW Police's mainframe replacement to XML because if they could make it work anyone could," Bullock says, adding that in April this year the NSW Police began an XML management program.

|Chesterton's grave in Beaconsfield (carved by Eric Gill). Stuart's son, Nathanael, stands proudly next to it.
One of these days I will write about GK Chesterton and his relationship with Belloc. I think it sufficeth to say, for the moment, that had it not been for Belloc there would probably have been no Chesterton (as he 'became').
They first met, according to Chesterton, at a restaurant in Soho:
He entered like a man armed, and as with a clang of iron. He brought with him news from the fronts of history. What he brought into our dream was this Roman appetite for reality and for reason in action, and when he came into the door there entered with him the smell of danger. He remarked that he was in low spirits. His low spirits were and are much more uproarious and enlivening than anybody else's high spirits. He talked into the night, and left behind in it a glowing track of good things. When I say good things, I mean things that are truly good. This man has made the greatest fight for good things of all the men of my time.
I will write more, about their collaborative friendship, at some stage in the future.
Sticking with the Chestertonian theme, a splendid chap called Stuart McCullough will be engaging in a 'pilgrimage' to his resting place in Beaconsfield at the end of the month. Stuart writes:

Online Income Control Masterclass With GUARATEE
Online Income Control Masterclass With GUARATEE
Before anything, Here is a BAD news!!
This is about REAL ONLINE business that follows process and requires some amount of work from you to earn anything. It is not a get rich QUICK or investment scheme like MMM where you put money and relax. If you will not be willing enough to commit 2 to 3 hours of daily brain friendly work, please waste no further time, close the page!!
If you are tired of struggling to make ends meet and is GENUINELY seeking for a LEGITIMATE business to earn tons of cash in DOLLARS while you continue with your normal job/business.
Here's a LIFETIME OPPORUNITY to lock yourself in one room with someone who live, breath and genuinely earn ADEQUATE living online to practically learn the art of Internet Money Making.
Hey there, My name is Raphael Igwilo
I am looking for 20 SUCCESS minded individuals to form my elite group of ONLINE INCOME CRUSHING SMARTASSES in ABA and neighboring cities. These individuals shall join me in a one day seminar in my office on the 10th Dec where I practically show them the FASTLANE to internet LEGIT money making.
You must be hungry for success and ready to take action. If you'll like to make extra N50,000 to N200,000 for a start in a month… And would want this to happen within the shortest timeframe humanly possible, then I believe this would be one of the greatest message you'll ever read.
Dear Friend
Grab a glass of your favorite drink because I want to make you an offer you cannot refuse. This is coming earlier than planned and it's so because of the "CHAINj" that is happening around us.
A few weeks ago I saw on social media how MTN allegedly sacked 4,000 of their workers without notice. Yes, the unemployment market is richer again with over 4,000 bread winners.
These guys came to work just that Friday and were told it was all over without prior notice, especially in times like this. A close source to MTN has already indicated that the salaries of the remaining staff of the company has been slash by up to 50% adding to the already compounded effect of dollar hike on the buying power of Nigerians.
From the beginning of this year we've read stories that touch…
Zenith bank sacked 1,200 staff, Access bank sacked 800 staff, Skye Bank sacked 400 staff, Unity Bank sacked 320 staff, Construction industry sacked 60,000 workers, La Casera weeded out 1,300 workers etc.
Companies are closing down; others are downsizing so as to survive. The Nigerian statistic office announced that over 500,000 Nigerians lost their jobs in the first eight months of 2016 and still counting.
That is just what they can track from the number of companies that were closed down and others that downsized in the formal sectors as a result of the country's decreasing economic situation.
Of course, these reports are records from well-known companies. You can now imagine what is going on with small businesses that suffered most compounding the current severe power outage and fuel crisis.
The federal government has come out to officially announce the obvious: we are in a recession or whatever
Generally, will things get better…? Not in the interim. I always try to be very positive, but economic forecast for our dear country is not good.
We expect more of these sacks and retrenchment in the upcoming months, according to experts the dollar exchange rate is expected to peak at 700 on the parallel market before the year ends(God forbid), salaries are being cut down and most state governments are owing… some as much as 7-10 months salary.
Even if you are not a civil servant or salary worker… as an entrepreneur anything that affects the purchasing power of your clients and customers ultimately affects you. The irony is that as salaries and income is dropping, the prices of goods are skyrocketing… bills are piling up.
In the words of Chinua Achebe, Things are falling apart and center cannot hold. The truth is no one can help. The government cannot help us. We see it in their actions on daily basis. They do not care.
But this does not have to be your story. It's not my story. It is not the story of many too. If you doubt me, go to night clubs and see how people lavish money as if they're just landing from Malaysia.
Here's why I said the story doesn't have to be yours
In 2014, I earned my first money on the internet. This came after I struggled for 6 years (2008 to 2014) trying out all the SHINY wrong opportunities that fills up the internet space. And no breakthrough. To be honest, I quitted at some point. Not once, not twice. As a matter of fact, I concluded that it is impossible to earn money online without being a yahoo boy.
Do not blame me. Imagine being STACK broke for 6 precious years investing your energy, time and resources on a business which is generally regarded as NOT REAL in our society. Not to mention trolls coming from friends and especially my cousin, "enyia go find better work, every year you keep saying you go hammer yet nothing, lazy ass''!! Things like that.
Precisely in June 2014, I stumbled upon a salesletter by Pat Ogidi (I once met him at Owerri in 2008 when he was starting out as an Internet Marketer) where he narrated how he made 13million in 2013 on the internet. That incident raised my dead dream and motivated me to embark on another research for greener pasture on the net.
Along the line, I read an article written by one of the pioneers of internet marketing in Nigeria, Akin Alabi – Nairabet Founder. The article unlocked my infopreneur genus. Since then, I've smoothly sold over N1,500,000 worth copies of my eBook (N5,000 each copy) without spending a dime on advertisement.
Stats don't lie. Here's a screenshot of forwarded emails to those that bought my eBooks.
Here is another screenshot that reveals the N5,000 price I sell a copy of the eBook to prospects for download.
Do the Maths… Up to N1,500,000 in profits.
My venture into info marketing led me into creating a free blog since I had to create a website to market my eBooks. Today, the blog amass over 35,000 daily pageviews, 45,000 blog users and averages $150 DOLLARS in monthly Google Adsense revenue alone. See screenshot below
Then, if Dangote is still in the race for more money, why would I settle for less? My constant research for more genuine income led me to joining online Freelancing in October 2015. Online Freelancing involves doing jobs like article writing, image design, e.tc for online clients and get paid in dollars. This alone has generated up to $2500 (N1,100,000) for me till date. See screenshot below
Skeptical about the screenshots? Relax, I will log into my accounts right before your 'kolokolo' eyes for confirmation if you decide to join me on the 10th Dec in my office (Endless ICT Institute, No 21 Pound Road Aba, first floor) for the Online Income Control Seminar. I will practically teach you

… How to withdraw your earnings into your bank account

… How it works
… How to find ideas to sell
… How to verify if the idea will sale
… How to package the ideas for sale
… How to EASILY reach people who desperately need the idea you have for sale

With this, I'm literally forcing you to make money whether you like it or not because you are going to watch me perform those simple tasks live. No elongated motivational speech, just practical lessons. I will reveal the top secrets which the so called gurus have been keeping away from you for a long time.
I wanted this Online Income Masterclass to be a free one as a form of appreciation to God for his blessings this 2016. But because my office is small and will only accommodate just 20 persons, I'll have to find a way to ensure that only those who are hungry for success and ready to take action will attend.
Thus, I attached a meager N1,000 attendance fee to ensure I weed out time wasters. And this will base on a first come first served scenario. Once the 20 seats are occupied, other interested persons will have to wait until any time the seminar will hold again.
The country is in deep mess, the economy is tanking. DOLLAR to naira rate is constantly on the high side, commodity prices keep rising while salaries of average company/government worker are nothing to write home about.
There are two things though, you can either complain and blame it on Buhari or Join me and start earning in dollars…. at this Online Income Masterclass with guarantee. Imagine EASILY earning 250$ (N112,500 – more than salaries of an average banker) monthly on part time basis.
When others are whining, you'll be celebrating.
I'm serious… you are about changing your income level, changing your life and changing your destiny. This life changing masterclass will set you on the path of earning high revenue within the next month for as long as you go home to implement all that you will learn.
I'm sure you're already drooling to join me on that day… and you should!
But that's not enough…. See what you MUST do to lock down your seat and claim your slot for the coming Online Income Masterclass.
Bank Deposit/Transfer the sum of N1,000 to
First Bank – 3081088800
Name – Igwilo Raphael
After Payment, text depositor/transferee name to 08067193729. Upon confirmation of your payment, I'll reply you to confirm your slot in the Online Income Masterclass.
Conversely, you can visit my office to make the payment before the 10th Dec Seminar Date – Endless ICT Institute, No 21 Pound Road Aba, First Floor.
We have to collect payment before the seminar date to ensure that only those who will attend get their seat reserved for the event. Once the 20 seats are filled up, any other person will have to wait for next time we'll hold such masterclass. And to be frank, the fee will go up.
Ralph, i have tried Online Business in the past but it couldn't work, are you sure this will work for me?
See, unlike other seminars you might have attended, the Online Income Masterclass is a practical loaded bootcamp that will help you avoid all the costly mistakes that frustrate newbies out of the www before they see their first dollar. Unlike when I started out and failed because I had no one to practically watch me closely, this will save you valuable time and money and allowing you to discover the absolute surest path to operating a successful and very profitable Internet business.
Look, trial and error is no way to start a successful business.
Chances are you'll run out of money long before you figure it all out.
That is what makes this Masterclass a SUREBET and so valuable to anyone that wishes to jumpstart earning in the nearest month. Imagine being able to go from wherever you are now in life to being on the Fast Track to Success, all in a mere matter of minutes!
If you've ever wanted it all. If you've ever wished you could:
- Set your own work hours! Sleep and wake anytime you wish.
- Lead a life that is not influenced by the prevailing recession
- Take vacations to wherever you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want!
- Determine yourself how much money you make instead of relying on a company or boss to determine it for you!
- Have much more free time to spend with your family or to pursue a hobby!Then Online Income Masterclass Is Right For You.
Ralph, I don't have money to start with, what do I do?
Here's the untwisted truth. I actually started out again in 2014 having no computer, no money. My only arsenal was my idea and a tecno M3(I'll show you the phone on the seminar day). I had to borrow laptop from my barber friend to write my eBooks and create my free blog.
As a matter of fact, I have set of computers in the office to lend those that will opt to work closely with me after the seminar. You're lucky. You basically need a android phone to monitor your blog from home and then visit my office or any cybercafé to do any required computer work.
Ralph, I am always busy with work/busyness.
Lolls.. no one is absolutely busy, it's all about priorities. Think about how your life will change with constant 100 to 200$ monthly.
When there's WILL, there'll be a WAY. I had to combine with my teaching job before finally quitting in 2015. You will soon Quit your own job if you wish.
Ralph I'm Interested But I Know Nothing About Computer?
Don't worry, I got you covered. My boy will train you on the basics you need to kickstart your journey to financial empowerment.
Like I said, when there's will, there'll definitely be a way.
I know this Income Control Seminar is one of the best opportunities you'll ever encounter this year but since you might just be meeting me for the first time in life, I want to ensure you feel comfortable committing your resources to this. So here's my guarantee.
If you attend this Online Income Control Masterclass and at the end of it you feel it's not worth your efforts, simply walk to me and request for a refund. I'll give you 100% back.
The life of FREEDOM you have always wanted is waiting for you …
The key is right here… you just need to grab it!
You can always get better, no need settling for less.
Ralph Igwilo
Endless ICT Institute.
P.S: – Right now you're at a junction in the road – you can either carry on as you are – struggling to make anything at all online – or you can reject all the procrastination forces around you and make this crucial step towards your financial Freedom.

How to Reduce the Time Spent on Your Mobile Phone
In today's modern world, you are more connected than ever before. Always on the go, you are most easily reached by your smartphone, with its social media apps, web browsers, email, and even its phoning capabilities. The average person spends about two hours per day on their mobile phone, which adds up to over four years over the course of a lifetime.
The time spent on your mobile phone can be the essential lifeline for running a small business on the go, or connecting with loved ones in times of crisis. Most likely, however, your time spent on your mobile is spent refreshing your social media pages, or looking at funny pictures while waiting to catch the train. All of that connectivity can increase your daily level of stress, as you feel the need to remain constantly updated about the status of people's lives. To break the cycle, you will need to reduce the amount of time spent checking your mobile phone, whether gradually cutting back or limiting your use all at once.
Reasons to Cut Down on Mobile Use
Not everyone wants to cut back for the same reasons. The stress of being always online, combined with the edginess you may feel when you forget your phone at home, is enough of a reason for some to rein in their mobile time. Health concerns about the ties between mobile phone use and radiation convince some to take precautions, while others stay up late checking their notifications, preventing them from getting a good night's sleep.
Some people feel that spending too much time on the phone prevents them from socializing with people face to face. With two hours a day spent on smartphones, the average person only interacts with their partner about 97 minutes per day. Dining out is no longer the rewarding activity it once was, with everyone at the table affixed to their phones. Concerns over children's developing minds have parents seeking out ways to minimize their screen time while educating them about the potential benefits of modern day technology.
In order to cut back on your mobile time, you need to know how much time you are currently spending. Most people greatly underestimate their mobile use, as a few moments here and there quickly add up. Moment for iOS allows you track how many minutes you spend on the phone each day, and notifies you if you go over the time limit you set for yourself.
For Android users, Menthal tracks your time in more detail, showing you how much was spent texting, on social media, or making calls. You can compare your information against other users, which adds a bit of social pressure to cut back on unnecessary tasks. This can be the boost you need to regain control of your mobile phone habit.
Set Your Available Hours
If you use your mobile for work, you may feel the pressure to always be available to answer co-worker questions or to meet your boss' needs. However, you will want to set the hours you are available, so you are not tempted to start a new project minutes after bedtime. Align this time with your personal priorities, such as not answering calls or checking email during meal times, or not when at a family function.
Social smartphone users may want to try this in reverse, by scheduling the times they will check their notifications. You may find out that you can get by with only checking your email twice or thrice a day. Social media time could be summed up in a ten minute session, rather than sporadically throughout the day. You will need to make adjustments to find what works best for you.
Quit Completely for a Day
The thought of going without your mobile for an entire day is enough to bring fear to almost anyone. However, you may want to try it for a day, if for no other reason than to discover that the world will not end. If you cannot bring yourself to leave your phone at home, leave it turned off and not readily accessible. Keep it in a desk drawer or handbag to prevent you from constantly looking at it.
Once you have proven to yourself that you can go a day without checking your phone, you will want to establish a personal set of mobile use rules. Although using a mobile while motoring is illegal, many people still do, so you will want to refrain from using it then. For a proper night's rest, it is recommended that you turn off your devices an hour before bedtime, so turn off your phone early. Commit to not checking your phone when spending time with friends, and post it on social media for the added social pressure to succeed.
Limiting your phone time is not easy. The rush of checking your notifications and always staying in touch is a hard feeling to control. With a bit of planning and commitment, you will be able to get a handle on your mobile use. Your health and your friends will welcome the change.

I used four 320MB SATA drives that I had been using for backup. The performance was OK. A few days ago, I ran across another 320MB drive I had forgotten about, and decided to add it to the array, reshaping it to use five (5) drives.

Busy, busy, busy
How are you today? Did you have a good long weekend? I have been busy as a bee! I have a habit of finding too many wonderful things to do and trying to do them all at once! This weekend, I have found a baby layette that is so adorable, just calling out to me, that I have made the hat and am starting on the little jacket! Who is getting this layette? No clue, just one of those things I knew I must make! I have also found out that I can make socks! Not knitted ones, but crocheted ones! I am thrilled! I have worked 45 rows on a blanket for my bed, have learn the Tunisian stitch in crochet and lastly, I have started knitting again! Yes, I have very tired fingers!
It has started to snow again. Last week, it seemed as though we may be having an early spring, but no such luck! I really had some bad thoughts this morning when I looked out my kitchen window! At least it's not a blizzard, so it won't be that bad!
Tomorrow, I'll show you the baby outfit I am working on and a scarf and hat that I have finished. Until then, be safe, have fun and remember to say Hi to every one you see. You just might make someone's day!

Hi, Deb! I love to crochet--that is, I used to love to crochet. I once made an enormous afghan. Each square was made up of a different kind of crochet stitch, and it was really a challenge. There's a picture of it in one of the crafts books Sister Susan published before she retired from Oxmoor House. I sold that blanket on Ebay.ReplyDelete
I never learned to knit more than just the basic stitches.
Hope you can enjoy the snowfall instead of being trapped or frozen by it. In the abstract, I love snow. But if we ever get a real snowfall here in Alabama, it causes all kinds of problems.
Keep warm!

Company : ATAGO USA Inc
UMDC Code : 449798
The PAL-Urea is specifically designed to measure the Urea concentration of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), also known as AdBlue* in Europe. Already proven in Europe as the only reliable, go-to instrument for easy and accurate checks, the PAL-Urea is now available in North America in time for new 2010 EPA regulations on diesel emissions.The growing increase in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) engines on the road to meet these EPA regulations means the demand for pure Diesel Exhaust Fluid is rising rapidly. DEF needs to have a 32.5% Urea concentration in order to work effectively in SCR engines. Make sure that the DEF that comes out of your pump and into your tank is pure in quality and safe from potentially harmful additives by using the only digital hand-held refractometer already trusted by European consumers.The PAL-Urea is light & compact, with no moving parts to break! Simply place a few drops of DEF on the prism, press "Start" and the precise Urea concentration is displayed digitally in 3 seconds! The PAL-Urea runs on 2 AAA batteries capable of 11,000 measurements. It is equipped with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) and rated IP65 water resistant for quick and easy cleanup under running water.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

Capitals Development Camp Day 5
With the addition of David Vallorani (who played on the red squad during all previous scrimmages), the white team defeated the red team 4-1. As weird as this may seem, Vallorani seems to be the difference maker in these scrimmages. Vallorani is fast, agile, and has a tremendous amount of playmaking ability. Today, he got one assist on a goal by Connor Carriker to add to his total of 3 goals prior to today. He had 2 yesterday for the red team. His 4 points in the scrimmages thus far leads the Capitals Development players. His point totals in the Caps Development Camp are not the reason the Caps should sign this kid right away.
As previously mentioned, Vallorani is noticeably fast. He is quite agile and has a great ability to make quick turns and stop on a dime, all while keeping perfect controll of the puck. His stickhandling skills are not to the level of Stanislav Galiev, but, combined with all his other hockey attributes, he makes a great player. His ability to find open ice for himself in the offensive zone and elude defensive pressure and open up alleyways for his teammates is vastly better than any other players ability to do so at the Capitals Development Camp. He is not a big kid, acutally, he is relatively small compared to most of the other guys at the camp but he is not intimidated by anyone and plays fearlessly.
After signing Filip Forsberg earlier today. The Capitals should start working on making an offer to David Villorani who in my opinion plays like Martin St. Louis!
Other guys who impressed me at the Capitals Development Camp thus far are goaltenders Scott Darling and Sergei Kostenko, forwards Tom Wilson, Andreas Martinsen, Travis Boyd and Barry Almeida as well as defensemen Cameron Schilling and Jaynen Rissling. The players that I was not impressed with that have grown on me are forwards Filip Forsberg and defenseman Max Iafrate. All of these guys are worth giving a contract too. Other guys are worthy as well but these are my favorites from what I have seen thus far!
Thanks for all your continued support on the Caps Across The Pond twitter account and my twitter account (@capsfanatic_wvu). I truely do enjoy interacting with every single one of you!
I will be tweeting live again from the final scrimmage tomorrow morning at 10am EST from the blog twitter account and I hope that when the Caps Development Camp concludes I can keep interacting with you guys on my personal account throughout the offseason and next season and so forth as I am very active on twitter when the season starts!
See you again tomorrow!!!!!

The Warmth of a Woodstove
The long awaited and highly anticipated installation of the wood stove has finally complete. We got this practically new Vermont Castings wood stove with brand new catalytic converter and $200 blower for a steal at $500 on Craigslist. The stove new costs almost $1400. With plenty of scrap wood lying around to burn the work crew has been much happier since its arrival.

Choice of game
My definition of an ultimate cricket viewing experience is to watch a Test at Lord's. Moreover, the third day of a Test is often the most crucial one, so I was hardly able to sleep properly the previous night due to the excitement of the day ahead.
Team supported
I have always been a passionate Indian fan and today was no different.
Key performer
Liam Plunkett ensured England surpassed India's total of 295 with a well-compiled maiden Test fifty in the process. When it was his turn to bowl, he got the crucial wickets of Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli off successive deliveries at a time when England were starting to look a bit helpless. If not for his contribution, India would have been firmly in the driver's seat now.
One thing I'd change
There were sections of people who fell asleep during the second session because of the slow scoring rate. If it had been a bit faster paced, people would have been more engaged. I would also have liked to overturn Bruce Oxenford's decision to give Ajinkya Rahane out caught behind as he was clearly struck on his arm guard. He rescued India's first innings with a brilliant century, and I felt bad for him to be given out to such a poor decision.
The interplay I enjoyed
Bhuvneshwar Kumar v the English tailenders. He made beautiful use of this pitch - which had good carry and bounce - testing the batsmen with a probing line outside off, and mixing it occasionally with well-targeted deliveries on the stumps. Although Matt Prior and Plunkett started scoring briskly, Bhuvneshwar's accuracy ensured the English innings did not last long. He deservedly carved his name on the Lords' honours board with 6 for 82.
Filling the gaps
I spent most of the time during the breaks between the two elevators of the JP Morgan Media Center since all the commentators and journalists have to pass through these elevators to get to the media centre upstairs. It was a golden opportunity to meet them and get their autographs and/or photos. During the tea break I got the chance to take my photo with the Investec Test trophy.
Wow moment
Shikhar Dhawan had to turn around and run while constantly keeping his eyes on the ball to take the catch to dismiss Prior. This catch reminded me a bit of Kapil Dev's catch to dismiss Viv Richards during the 1983 World Cup final at Lord's.
Shot of the day
Cheteshwar Pujara's exquisite cover drive off Ben Stokes in the early part of his innings was the best stroke of the day. It was perfectly timed and had an elegant follow through.
Crowd meter
Some England fans booed Ravindra Jadeja when he was introduced into the attack and welcomed James Anderson with rousing applause to the crease. People sitting in the lower tier of the Compton Stand tried to initiate a Mexican wave several times, however, much to their dismay, other sections of the crowd hardly showed any interest. The crowd cheered Indian wickets and England's boundaries. There was plenty of debate around the BCCI's reluctance to embrace DRS and a feeling of India having deserved the incorrect dismissal of Rahane for not agreeing to use DRS.
Burgers, baps, curries, pies, fish and chips and burritos were on the menu. There was a Q&A session with Mark Ramprakash during the tea interval.
Tests v limited-overs
I have watched all three formats of the game from stadiums and enjoy them equally and feel that each has its own place in the sport. Judging by today's nearly housefull crowd, Test cricket can definitely survive provided the pitches are lively as it produces a gripping encounter. This match is in balance even after three days of play, which just shows how much room there is in Test cricket to battle for the initiative. Limited-overs cricket is also exciting and more face paced than Test cricket is. That makes it just as interesting to watch, although one bad session can affect you more in ODIs and T20s compared to Tests.
The atmosphere was fantastic. The Indian fans were sang songs and chanted "Siiir Ravi Jadeeeja" whenever Jadeja was involved in any action on the field. There were some lighthearted moments in the Upper Tier of the Compton Stand where I was sitting when someone opened a champagne bottle and the cork flew about ten rows in front of us and hit a spectator on his head. Two people sitting beside me were entertaining the crowd by mimicking Geoffrey Boycott's commentary style. There seems to be a slight IPL influence on the series as "Harrogate Spring Hydration" breaks are what the drinks breaks are being called now.
Marks out of 10
Ten. I managed to get 16 autographs and more than ten selfies with current and retired cricketers, which I was absolutely thrilled about. Despite the slow scoring rate, this match is tantalisingly poised thanks to M Vijay's watchful innings and Plunkett's energised spell in the last session. It is still anybody's game, however. I think we are definitely going to see a result.

Guess what?
You'll never believe this... I picked up my embroidery machine on Friday morning and didn't sew anything on it (or my regular machine) until yesterday. But... it's back!
My sewing mojo that is.... and my Mom's is back, too. She hasn't sewn anything in a while either and now the both of us are on a roll!
Of course, I wasn't working on what I should have... I don't know why I do that.
Whenever I have a looming project I always tend to put it off and do something else... I need to quit that.
I haven't photographed the new stuff I made yet... but here's some more random Christmas stuff I made for gifts.
These are some Kermit towels I made for my etsy shop!
The file is from Stitch on Time.
Some little softies for Emma.... hahahhahaha... I cut these out for her first birthday and never stuffed and sewed them.... oops.
The softie files are by sewing for sarah.
A little gingerbread ornament:
This is a hair pretty design by Pickle Pie.
Toys for Alyssa:

'Jersey Shore's' Snooki is glad her new man is different
HollywoodNews.com: 'Jersey Shore' star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was pretty unsure of her current boyfriend when she first met him, but now she realizes her worries were only about all the good things about him.
Snooki revealed that when she first met Jionni LaValle, he barely said anything to her which made her very wary of him, states MTV. However, after getting to know him, she found out that it was because he wasn't crazy about being around the cameras.
"I was like, 'Oh, that's a good thing. He's not a fame whore, and I don't want to date any of those guys,'" Snooki said about him being different than most men she meets now.
Do you think Snooki has found the right guy?

Businesses value few things more than happy customers. Pleased clients come back for more. They tell their family and friends about your business. They create new customer opportunities, and we can count on their repeat business for a long time. Who doesn't want more of that?
To achieve that type of trust with a customer, you must consistently deliver a very high level of customer service. That means not just doing a fantastic job but also avoiding common customer-service slip-ups.
Make sure your business avoids the following mistakes.
Failing to train your staff. Does your company believe in the "baptism by fire" training system? Do you make the mistake of only training for the technical skills required on the job? Customer-service training gives your employees the tools and the confidence to gracefully deal with angry and dissatisfied clients.
Trying to win the argument. Perception is reality. Don't try to win the argument if it means losing the customer. First,apologize for what has displeased the customer. Remember that when we're angry or disappointed, we want to hear that someone else cares about our feelings. So, acknowledge the customer's feelings first and then seek a solution. The blame game has no place in superb customer service.
Letting technology get in the way. We all love how technology makes us more efficient, but it can also make us more difficult to reach. Be sure that your customers can reach a real person if they have a problem. Pointing an irate customer to your FAQs on the website or sending him into your voice mail loop is only going to frustrate him more. Get the customer to an empathetic human as quickly as possible.
