The best thing about this team is that if one of the big two don't stand up, there is always someone else who puts his hand up and dominates. Surprised but obviously pleased with the win. 50 wins? :cookie:

Seriously, how awesome is it that we have a team where DD, our leading scorer, can draw the focus of elite defences and get shut down (mostly) and others step up big time to fill the void. I do love that DD also doesn't force things too badly - he was a little off track in the first half with taking tough jumpers, but refocused in the second and we punished the Grizz for over committing on him.

Hope DeRozan pays attention to what's happening to him of late.
He's getting that recognition as an All-Star two-guard with a mean mid-range J. They focusing solely on him on defence and denying him that ball. Loved that, in the 2nd half, he didn't force his game and starting racking up assists. Can't say enough about JV playing with confidence. My Fucking word. The difference is just ridiculous. We DO NOT let Trashquez walk after this season. He signs here. Last edited by Owned; 03-15-2014 at 09:18 AM. |

Vasquez proved his worth last night. I know it was against his old team but he showed that he could step up if needed. I noticed when he was on the court with Lowry that the majority of time he was the primary PG and Lowry played the off-guard.
I liked how Demar didn't force up shots but I did notice a lot of dribbling from him that made me nervous cuz he doesn't have good enough breakdown handles. I'm happy that JV played well against a legit frontcourt and anytime he can play well its only a confidence boost. I just hope its not 1 of his 1-off good games. He needs to do this consistently for the rest of the season; maybe he doesn't have the put up those stats but he has to play that style. Not to be a downer but I still feel like on offense he's still pulling the same perdictable moves and it just all depends on whether the shots go in or not which determines his success the whole night. He needs to either get to a point where those moves may be predictable but unstoppable or he needs to get have it so that whether the shots drop or not it does not affect his contribution each night. |

So many decisions to be made this summer. I agree we're 2 seasons away from making real noise. The summer of 2015 should be huge considering the anniversary, rebrand and upcoming ASG, I think 2015-16 is when Masai is looking to make a jump and in the meantime it's about aquiring young assets and picks to use in future trades.

I still don't think i've accepted that we're actually quite a good team. I keep refreshing the NBA's standings to see that 10 over mark. it brings a smile to my face. Last year i went to one of the Raps/Philly games where they were like 35 down in the 2nd quarter and slumped back in my seat and literally just gave up. Basically said to my gf i've been supporting this team for more than 15 years and they've been awful the majority of this time, when will that change. Well, fortunately, we have something to be happy about this season. Hope Masai can continue to improve this team moving forward.
Great overall game. This team continues to fight even with DeMar struggling most of the way. |

next season could be tough, with a few teams likely to improve. If we get less wins or even don't make playoffs, i hope everyone (mostly players,) doesn't panic/lose confidence. this is a good team. absolutely loved this game! got schooled early, but hung in there and then excellent 2nd half, esp 4th Q, obviously. worried we're gonna get eaten up inside in the playoffs. We've shown we can adjust when it's happening, but in a 7 game series, i'm worried that will be the difference maker. |

I thought the Raps matched up well with the Grizzlies, but many doubted this. Randolph and Gasol aren't very mobile big men, which works into the Raptors' favour with their younger big men. The Raps have trouble with mobile, athletic big men. The outcome of yesterday's game, therefore, shouldn't have been that big of a surprise. It was a great win and a close game for 42 minutes, but this has shown in it's last 50 games it can matchup well with teams that have big, physical front courts.

A fid is a pointed wooden implement used to spread the strands of a piece of fibre line in the course of "working" that line. The strands might be spread in the course of an inspection of the line, in the course of splicing two lines together, or in the course of turning an eye splice into one or both ends of the line. Although a fid isn't always required, it is particularly helpful when working with hard-laid nylon line.
- Skill level:
- Moderate
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Measuring tape
- Broom or mop handle
- Saw
- Work table
- Belt sander
Show More
- 1
Use a measuring tape to measure a 2-ft. piece of broom handle. Cut the handle with a saw.
- 2
Place a belt sander on your work table so that the sanding belt hangs over the edge of the table. This placement will allow you to move the broom handle as required while using the table to steady the sander.
- 3
Turn on the sander and hold one end of the broom handle to the sanding belt, turning the broom handle against the moving sanding belt to form a pointed, cone-shaped end on the broom handle.
Tips and warnings
- The largest diameter of the fid should equal the diameter of the line being "worked."
- This project involves power tool use. Appropriate caution is advised.

The wife and I made a day of it today and toured wonderful, snowy Vermont. Made a couple of excellent stops: Fans were blowing and the aroma of hops was intoxicating. On to Hill Farmstead:
Those two breweries are so near each other it'd be almost a crime to visit only one. It's definitely a great whole day event and you get to pick up some nice things (it's a 6 hr, 400 mile round trip for me so I decided against it )
They're an hour 10 from eachother in ideal conditions. Not exactly next door. It's not like Maine Beer and Allagash that are across the street from eachother. Now add 2 feet of snow and windy poorly or non-lit country roads with darkness coming at 4pm. But yeah if you made sure you get to the Alchemist as soon as they open, because if you don't they've already sold out of beer, then yeah you better do both.
I did the same trip on thursday during the snow. A few times I asked my self what the hell I was thinking driving the WRX through a foot of unplowed snow on dirt roads 4 hours from home, but at the end of the day it was well worth it and a memorable trip.
Looks like I lucked out and went between the snowy days. Left around 8 AM and added Rock Art on the way to Hill Farmstead from The Alchemist. Good day with friends.
Ha. You were right in front/behind me inline at Hill Farmstead....the lady in the blue jacket was right in front of me and a buddy.

Let me start by saying I am so excited I get to share these photos, as we thought we would never recover the photos from the camera! Long and boring story, but the end results of photo recovery were pure victory!
My sweet baby girl turned 5 this month and she wanted to have a party in the park behind our house. Her only requests were sports, face paint, pinata, tie dye and cheese balls. Such easy requests to fulfill!!!
All about the goodies! Vanilla cupcakes topped with
my no fail frosting and strawberry hats joined a heaping
pile of rice crispy treats, sea salt chocolate chip cookies a few
other goodies ready for the little and big kids!
A bowl of cuties certainly balances out the load
of cakes and candies!
Cheese balls! They were a must on Logi's short
list of requests. The bowl they are sitting in is the large
bowl in a set of 4 melamine nesting bowls (with lids!)
that I picked up at Costco. They have a lovely, vintage
look to them, with all the practicality of melamine!
My past life in event planning and catering always
comes through on the treats table!!
I topped the chocolate cupcakes with m&m candies,
logo side down. Logi really wanted 'tie dye' at her
'sports party' so I tried to pull in color, wherever
I could. This was a quick and cute way to doll
up the cupcakes (and distinguish them from the
vanilla cupcakes.)
Side note: the polka dot cake stand was a gift I
received from the sweet woman from Zac's office
in Oklahoma, who planned a baby shower for us when
I was pregnant with Logi. Extra special to pull out on this day!
Even though we were gathering in the park, I wanted
to elevate the feel of the party (let's be real, I could have
just opened a few bags of chips...). Popping goodies into/onto
bowls and platters instantly kicks it up a notch. Creating
a table with dimension is quick and easy, if you have a couple
white table clothes (or white flat bed sheets) on hand.
Place sturdy boxes under the cloth and allow the folds
of the cloth to build a base (table with varying heights)
to then add in bowls, platters, cake stands, vessels, etc.
It is oh so easy, just takes a bit of planning...give it a whirl for your
next shindig. Whether you are hosting in your home or in the park.
I placed piles of sidewalk chalk around, but wrote up a big
reminder of why we were all gathering! Can time slow down,
please. Just looking at this makes me tear up!
The sweet little birthday girl! Tie dye on tie dye works,
when that is the theme...our sweet babysitter made her the
"birthday crown" out of pipe cleaners. My sweet Logan is so kind,
happy, funny, active and loving. Her personality is one of the
best I have ever been blessed to know.
Before friends arrived Logi took some imaginary
swings at the pinata, while Benny sat in the chalk.
I was quite surprised that Logi picked the Hello
Kitty pinata, as it really isn't her thing...until she
explained that it was the biggest and could hold
the most candy. Clever girl.
Sweet Benny! I could just gobble him up! I realized, long after
the party wrapped, that he was shoved into a 6/12 month shirt.
Poor buddy looked a hot mess most of the evening.
Kathy and her grand daughter Mady, of Jester's Entertainment. They
are always at the Golden Farmer's Market and Logi was so excited
to have them be a part of her party. They are incredible. Kathy does
airbrush art on the kids, which is ridiculously amazing! Check them out!
Logi has the hardest time deciding what to get, when we are at the
farmer's market. Good thing she got to pick a few, at the party!
A sparkly car! How amazing is that! Kathy cuts all the stencils.
How cute is this!
Pure happiness!
Real snakes = no good.
Balloon snakes = nearly the cutest.
In lieu of presents, we asked friends to please bring donations for
the Golden Backpack Program. I was thrilled with the amount of
donations collected for this wonderful organization!
Real snakes = no good.
Balloon snakes = nearly the cutest.
In lieu of presents, we asked friends to please bring donations for
the Golden Backpack Program. I was thrilled with the amount of
donations collected for this wonderful organization!
Sister Sister! Two of my favorite little kids and such
sweet friends to Logan.
These two sugars melt my heart! Second generation friends!
Like a postcard! You can't fake that excitement!
These to did preschool and preK together. Total partners in crime!
It isn't a party until bags of beans are tossed!
Pregame excitement! I have never seen such a big pile of crazy,
over a pinata! Crazy...but oh so cute.
Benny. Delivering the heat!
Bringing the heat!
Well folks, that's a wrap on Logi's 5th birthday party!
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate!

Job search got you down? Use these tips to beat the blues and get back on track!
10 Toxic Interview Questions to Avoid at All Costs!
We all have pet peeves, little things that get under our skin and make it harder to move forward. For hiring managers, these 10 questions are considered major turn-offs. With a little prep on your part beforehand, you can avoid these "interview killers" and stay on-track to landing that new job:
1) Don't ask for information you could have easily found with a quick online (Google, Linkedin, Company Website) search. The stronger your knowledge, the clearer the signal it sends that you want a position with THIS company.
2) Don't ask if you can change the job details, the schedule, or the salary. You need to prove 100% fit with the role first, negotiate salary only once an offer's on the table, and work out scheduling specifics once you actually have the job! Don't get the order confused.
3) Don't ask too many questions about the interviewer's background. Some initial questions about the work they do and their experience at the company is fine, then move on.
4) Don't ask about pay, time off, benefits, etc. during the initial interview. This can make you come across as a "WIIFM" ("What's in it for me?") candidate.
5) Don't ask "What does your company do?" YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THIS!
6) Don't ask "If I'm hired, when can I start applying for other positions in the company?"
7) Don't ask how quickly you can be promoted. Again, this is putting the cart before the horse. Succeed at the job first before entertaining thoughts of promotion.
8) Don't ask "Do you do background checks?" Assume they will.
9) Don't ask about gossip you've heard or come across online.
10) Don't ask if the company monitors e-mail or Internet usage.

Pros and Cons of Working with an EXTERNAL RECRUITER
In last week's post, I gave you a rundown of the pros and cons of working with an internal recruiter. This week we'll be talking about EXTERNAL RECRUITERS, and what they can offer you.
First, here's how an external recruiter operates:
– External recruiters are usually paid a percentage of the employees' annual salary as a "finder's fee" for bringing a hired candidate to an employer. Employers will often engage more than 1 recruiting firm to source qualified candidates from, so competition can be fierce.
-External recruiters will almost always handle the initial phone or face-to-face interview, and then it's usually turned over to internal staff at the company. On rare occasions, they'll manage the entire hiring process from start-to-finish.
Now let's go over Pros and Cons:
-They have an outsider's perspective, and can usually provide a "clear-eyed" view of what's really going on at the company.
-They can offer crucial guidance on navigating personalities and company hiring issues to give you an edge over the competition.
-Your success means more money for them- that's a POWERFUL motivator! Internal recruiters just don't have the same level of incentive to get you hired.
-The same outsider mentality which can be a plus with a great external recruiter can also be a NEGATIVE with someone who's not on top of the ball. Lack of knowledge about the company and key decision-makers can make it very difficult for you to get traction during the hiring process. This is why it's crucial to listen and observe carefully during initial contact with an external recruiter- are they interested in YOU specifically, or is this one of dozens of calls they have on the books?
-To maximize their odds of placing a candidate, external recruiters will usually put forth multiple people for a job. As such, they may not promote you as aggressively.
-Some external recruiters may submit your resume for other open positions without your knowledge (or permission). This can cause unexpected problems. For example, if you've previously applied for a position independently, and then an external recruiter ALSO submits your candidacy for the same position, an employer may choose to skip you over entirely rather than deal with the headache of figuring out whether a commission is due to the recruiter on hiring. This is why SETTING CLEAR EXPECTATIONS are a must when working with an external recruiter.
-Ultimately, an external recruiter has the exact same goal as you: getting you placed quickly, and for MAXIMUM compensation.
-Be honest with them about potential vulnerabilities- they can play a big role in mitigating the fallout and strengthening the overall impact of your presentation.
A relationship with an external recruiter can pay off for years to come. If they succeed in landing you a job, be sure to send a handwritten thank you note. Connect with them on LinkedIn. Periodically touch base during holidays and during milestone moments in your career. And the best value-add of all? Refer colleagues to them!

"What's Your Greatest Strength?"
Here's a great way to answer a tricky interview question!
Pros and Cons of Working with an INTERNAL RECRUITER
In my work with jobseekers, I often encounter a lack of basic understanding about recruiters. This can really hurt you when pursuing new career opportunities.
Here's some information to quickly get you up-to-speed:
* Internal recruiters, also known as "corporate" recruiters, work within an organization. They usually get paid by the employer who has the available job.
* External recruiters, also known as "independent" recruiters, do not receive a paycheck from the employer who has the open job. They work for someone else, either a recruiting firm or agency, or simply for themselves.
Let's go over the advantages (and possible disadvantages) of working with an INTERNAL RECRUITER:
–Insider perspective. They know how a company REALLY works and usually have deep relationships within the organization (including hiring managers).
–Getting introduced to the hiring manager by an internal recruiter is usually a signal that they're SERIOUSLY INTERESTED In you for the job.
-They can get you on the "inside track" if convinced you're the best person for the position.
-Sometimes they will even coach you in navigating the various personality types and hiring procedures within the company.
–Their allegiance is ultimately to the employer, and that can cause problems if you get caught in a clash between 2 key decision-makers, etc.
–You always need to watch yourself with an internal recruiter (because they're always watching you). You can't confide vulnerabilities and offer "straight talk" on concerns as you might do with an external recruiter.
–They will not hesitate to block you as a candidate if you try to go around them to the hiring manager.
KEY TAKEAWAY: You must ALWAYS present your strongest, most polished self when dealing with internal recruiters. They're not "on your side" during the hiring process. Don't ask for special favors, and don't assume they have control over interview scheduling, salaries, etc.
I'll give you the low-down on EXTERNAL RECRUITERS next week!

Symphonic Prog • Sweden
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Here's another gem from the amazing Mellotron-loaden Skandinavian progrock scene, this time a Swedish band including Mattias Jarlhed (percussion), Jonas Hallberg (guitar and backing vocals), Daniel Fäldt (lead - and backing vocals, sitar) and Stefan Renström (bass, keyboards, voices). Releases: album "Ceinwed" from '95 and "Paradise Square" from '02. Main influence: mid-GENESIS.
The second album is superior to their debut, in my opinion "Paradise Square" is one of the best releases from 2002! Most of the 7 songs are long, alternating and elaborate pieces with lots of surprising ideas: classical guitar and piano, a jazzy intermezzo, sensitive Spanish guitar or sitar and tablas. The 24-carat symphonic sound is very inspired by mid-GENESIS but has also echoes from ANGLAGARD (sumptuous Mellotron waves), SPOCK'S BEARD (shifting moods and fiery electric guitar), MARILLION (keyboards) and MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND (Minimoog flights with pitchbend). The vocals are at some momens a bit theatrical but in general strong and convincing. Funny self-mockery: SIMON SAYS has integrated some musical moments from GENESIS albums ("The Lamb..." and "Foxtrot") but the way they have done this, showcases the mature compositional skills. Recommended.

Simon Says did not abandon the long forms of Progressive Rock music and still produced stretched and interesting compositions, they did update though their sound a bit, moving somewhat from their old-fashioned GENESIS stylings for a more contemporary style, which still involved huge analog echoes on Mellotron and organ, delivered with a cleaner and more modern production.They were caught though in the trap of sounding extremely close to SPOCK'S BEARD and THE FLOWER KINGS, offering arrangements with alternating synth and Mellotron/organ textures, strong symphonic tendencies and some lighter poppy tunes.The material is still well-written with captivating melodies and professional executions, ranging from pretty dramatic themes with atmospheric instrumental passages to more optimistic and accesible tunes.Lots of bombastic keyboard parts, sudden shifts in tempos and a few jazzy vibes result a work, that has been written with intelligence and passion till' the last detail.Good and sometimes adventurous guitar parts with melodic and post-psychedelic leanings and an efficient rhythm section complete the picture of the group, that now seems influenced by a wider spectrum, including GENESIS, YES, KAIPA and FOCUS.However the resemblances with SPOCK'S BEARD''s or THE FLOWER KINGS' music get a bit disturbing in the process.
Rich and interesting Progressive Rock by a work, that could be seen as emblimatic regarding the style.Far from original, but very interesting with a few nice highlights like the great title-track.Strongly recommended...3.5 stars.

Review by Progrussia
This is especially true of the two epics - opening 15-minute Suddenly the Rain (maybe just itsy- bitsy repetetive and Yes-inspired) and ending 26-minute Brother where you bound. The latter is one of my favorite epics because there is so much crammed in (no 3-minute spacey intros here, no sir) and yet it still flows naturally, going thru a plethora of crying lead guitar lines, folkish sections, some devilish piano, false endings etc.
But there's also so much variety on this album. Shorter rocker Tardigrade with its frenetic guitar licks and start-stop rhythms, folk-ish Circles End, mesmerising acoustic-electric duet Moon Mountain. Every song is distinct. Another distinctive feature are vocals. Unusual. Theatrical, accented and slightly nasally, yet somehow infectious.
I know that we reviewers must use 5 star ratings sparingly (and we use it here much too often - come one, do you really think this is an essential masterpiece and not just good?). But so much effort and diversity went into Tardigrade, that I don't hesitate here.

Review by DrömmarenAdrian
This album contains ten tracks, all of them are good, some of them are really good. The almost 15 minutes long starter "Suddenly the rain" is marvelous, it reminds me of a (Gabriel)Genesis song, now I can't remember which, and that feels awesome. It is not theft, just inspiration I guess. It starts exuberant and vital and the vocals are great. "Tardigrade" is a little poppier but very dymanic piece. "The chosen one" is calmer with pretty guitar work and it becomes faster later on. A great track. "Moon mountain" shows us guitar collaboration between the acoustic and the electric guitars, very nice result. "As the river runs" continues this symphonic excesses with excellent piano play as an example. "Your future" is a tranquil futuristic prayer and "Strawberry jam" shows how a progressive rock band interprets the concept "jam". In "Circle's End" I think the singer takes his task to another level when it becomes so varying. The last piece is short "Beautiful new day" praise the new day and hopes you will listen to this record again. The largest composition on this record is perhaps overwhelming the first time I listen to it. "Brother where' you bound?" begins directly, just like Genesis' "Supper's ready"(no other comparisons) and takes us on a symphonic journey. This is calm sometimes and fast sometimes. It feels right in many ways but I think it needs relistening.
This could have been even better if they tried more new things. Perhaps this is a tribute to for exemple Genesis and then it's a very good one, much better than some form of cover record. Simon Says shows us great symphonic music and also honest music, but they could have taken it to another record with some strange instruments and vocals in their native language(English is trite). But I will listen to this again, I promise and maybe I'll raise it to five stars. Right now I am proud to give it four.

Third album of this discret band from Sweden from 2008 named Tardigrade is a great follow up of Paradise square. Another 6 years gone until Simon Says released a new album. To me this is better then previous work, the passages and the overall arrangements are more intresting and mature. Great musicianship as before with plenty of great interplays between musicians, specially the keyboards are fantastic here. Long album clocking around 75 min with long instrumental passages, well performed and played in a pure symphonic prog tradition. Suddenly The Rain and the longest track Brother Where You Bound who has over 25 min are the best from this album, beautiful passages quite complex but yet accesibele most of the time. Little better then previous works but again doesn't fully impress me as other symphonic prog works let's sat from thet period. fans of Spock's beard, Transatlantic, The Flower Kings can easely love this band. 3.5 stars.

So of course, in the parallel universe the band sold millions and became household names, but in this rather more boring reality they split up. Stefan stayed with The Moor, touring Europe, and then in 2001 he contacted Daniel saying that he wanted to get Simon Says going again. They quickly got a band together and recorded 'Paradise Square', which was released on Galileo Records in 2002 (which I haven't heard) but again the band was shelved. It is hard to find out information on the band and what has been going as neither of their websites have been updated in a number of years and that is a crying shame as this new album is nothing short of brilliant.
This is music that belongs in the Seventies, but it is very much of the present as well. Keyboards can be dominant, or just piano, guitars can be overpowering or non-existent. It has swathes of mellotron and Hackett/Howe guitars with wonderful vocals. Imagine Genesis and Yes moved in a time machine from thirty years ago to now, and then were allowed just enough time to hear what was going on and to get used to modern equipment and then thrown into a studio with Derek Shulman to record an album, and this is what you get. This is a prog lover's dream ? and every home should have this CD. What concerns me is that this band appear to have dropped off the radar again since this release and that is nothing short of criminal ? this is the sort of music that got me involved with the genre in the first place. Modern progheads need bands like these. www.progrockrecords.com

ESO 4 Students,
This is your PBL assignment for the 3rd term. All of you have to WRITE and DELIVER your GRADUATION SPEECH. You have to imagine you are going to stand in the school Assembly Hall before your teachers, classmates, parents and guests at your ESO graduation ceremony (to be held on June 19th) and deliver your speech, which must be at least 350 WORDS LONG.
The best student will be offered the chance to deliver his or her speech at your graduation ceremony... in English!! Of course, he or she will get extra points in the final mark for that effort.
Delivering a speech requires previous work. First, you have to put together basic ideas and thoughts. Then, you have to draft, revise and polish your text up. Finally, you have to practise your oral presentation. It is a good idea to do this in front of some relatives or friends, in front a mirror or even to shoot an informal video of yourself using your phone or a webcam. Pay attention to both your "sound" and your "image". If you do this you will be able to find out your weak points and can try to fix them.
Points will be deducted not only for poor content, but also for bad spelling, punctuation and/or formatting in your written work. As you will have to do an oral presentation, points will also be deducted for bad pronunciation, poor fluency and rhythm. Clear, well-structured ideas, catching the audience interest, good pronunciation and a clear, loud voice and a little humour will boost your mark.
IMPORTANT: You must follow the same formatting rules as for the rest of school projects: The font must be 'Century Gothic', size 12; 1.5 line spacing, justified text, page numbers at the bottom centre of each page
This is your work schedule:
- Monday 11th May to Friday 15th May - Print this post at home and bring it to school to start working on it. You have to write and practise your speech. Each student MUST bring their own dictionary to class for those 3 sessions (electronic dictionaries, laptops, etc. are allowed; mobile phones, iphones or blackberries are not). It is also a good idea to print and bring to class some or all of the information contained in the links at the end of this post as well as any other information or help you may find useful.
- Before 23:59:59 on Friday 22nd May your speech in a PDF file has to reach our e-mail. Your file name MUST be as follows:
Class_Number_Name_1stSurname.pdf - Example: 4A_1_Brais_Carballo.pdf
- Monday 25th May to Friday 12th June - You will have to stand before your class and deliver your speeches.
Points will be deducted for every instruction you do not follow.
NB: Students who refuse to deliver their graduation speech will have to take the final remedial exam in June, comprising all the 9 units of the schoolyear.
NB: Students who refuse to deliver their graduation speech will have to take the final remedial exam in June, comprising all the 9 units of the schoolyear.

And now, a short video of a graduation speech that you will like, from the Twilight Eclipse movie, to get some inspiration:
This is the transcription:
"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case… princess.
When we were ten, they asked again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medallist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer.
Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?!
This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, its time to make mistakes.
Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill.
Fall in love – a lot.
Major in philosophy 'cause there's no way to make a career out of that.
Change your mind.
Then change it again, because nothing is permanent.
So make as many mistakes as you can.
That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… we won't have to guess.
We'll know."

Alabama Improves Avoiding Turnovers
Meanwhile, Alabama had no takeaways in that first game, but has averaged two per game since then to have 10 for the season – seven pass interceptions and three fumble recoveries.
"It's something we emphasize a lot, especially after the first game, when we really emphasized it," Alabama Coach Nick Saban said Monday. "The players responded, and we have not turned the ball over.
"That's somethat that we need to continue to pay attention to detail on, because I think that turnover ratio is a critical factor – the most critical factor – in winning and losing."
There's something to that because the team with the best turnover ratio in the Southeastern Conference is LSU, which is plus 11 on the year and leading the SEC. The Bengal Tigers, like Alabama 6-0 on the season, are ranked No. 1 in the nation in one poll and No. 2 in another.
Last week's Alabama foe, Vanderbilt, had gone into the game as the nation's best at intercepting passes, but the Tide did not give up a turnover to the Commodores. In fact, Alabama picked off two Vandy passes. Still, Vanderbilt is second in the league in turnover margin at plus 5. Alabama is fifth on the year at plus three.
This week the Crimson Tide will take on Ole Miss, which is plus one in turnover margin.
Alabama has played well in all phases of the game, which is the reason the Crimson Tide is 6-0 overall and 3-0 in SEC games. Bama is ranked second in the nation by the Associated Press and third in the Coaches Poll conducted by USA Today. Ole Miss, which had an open date last weekend, is 2-3 overall and 3-0 in SEC games.
Kickoff Saturday from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford is 5 p.m. with television coverage by ESPN2.
Saban said, "We put the ball on the ground a couple of times late in the game this past week. That's something we cannot do any place that we play. Making good choices and decisions are very critical. Everybody having ball security awareness is very, very important."
Saban said Bama players are taught to "take what the defense gets you. You don't throw the ball into tight coverage and you don't throw the ball in places where it shouldn't be and you've got to be patient. If you've got to throw the check down, throw the check down. Our guys have done a pretty good job of that."
Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron threw two interceptions in his first ever start in the opener against Kent State. Since then, he has not thrown an interception, a streak of 127 passes without a pick.
A.J. has done for the most part a pretty good job of putting the ball in the right place," Saban said. "That's what we coach. I don't think anybody coaches turnovers, but it comes down to judgment. I don't think they have baseball manuals to teach guys to swing at balls out of the strike zone, but some guys do it a lot more than others. It comes down to judgment.
"Ball security is an awareness fundamentally that every player that handles the ball has to have, so that we don't have turnovers."
Alabama tailback Trent Richardson said that ball security is a point of pride. "We had a couple of fumbles last year," he said. "that's one thing Coach Saban has emphasized for us so we make ourselves better at it. We fumble that ball, we're going to be on the bench somewhere. We don't want that happening.
"I try to remind myself as much as I can to just make sure I don't forget, I can't fumble the ball, I've got to hold it tight, high and tight."
Richardson said avoiding turnovers is important to success. "It's real big," he said. "A turnover changes momentum. It can mess with your head, too, thinking about that play. So if you don't turn it over, you get on to the next play and you don't worry about it."

Globalisation is at a dangerous crossroads. One path leads to stronger protection for human rights and the environment and to regained policy-space forgovernments to address climate change, inequality and other pressing issues of our times. The other leads to more rights for corporations to bully decision-makers
Across the world people are already being hit hard by climate change. Some communities are being evacuated to avoid the rising oceans, while droughts and record-breaking floods made worse by climate change are devastating the lives of people across the planet. 2015 was the warmest year on record and saw global sea levels reach their highest since records began.
Friends of the Earth Europe has developed a poster to show support to Wallonia in their stand to Stop CETA.
The posters are available in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan, Galician and Basque. You can choose between A3 and A4 formats.
The text says: 'WE STAND WITH WALLONIA IN REJECTING CETA'. We propose the following action: - People can print out the poster - They can display it in their window - They can take a picture and promote those on twitter, facebook, etc.

From exploding ostrich eggs to methane mambas, this year's University of Brighton science show Bigger Bang VII promises to be bigger and more explosive than ever.
Fronted by "chemistry evangelist" Hal Sosabowski, the university's professor of public understanding of science, the annual show aims to show that science isn't just about diagrams and whiteboards.
Brimming with educational experiments and dazzling displays, the show takes place at the university's new £23m Huxley Building in Moulsecoomb, Brighton, on Friday, December 14.
Professor Sosabowski said: "This is a unique event with breathtaking experiments the likes of which you will never see anywhere else. The event is an almost guaranteed way of getting children and adults turned off games consoles and on to science."
Tickets cost £7 each or £24 for a family of four. Contact email@example.com or call 01273 644178

If you experience a problem with how Tenfold handles calls, it may be due to how your phone system posts events. Don't worry!! If you can reproduce the behavior, we can adjust for it. Ask your Tenfold admin to send us a call sequence following the steps below.
VERY IMPORTANT: Collect your call sequence when few calls are happening in your org. This allows us to zoom in on the issue much faster.
Open the Call Sequence page (only the admin can do this).
1. Go to http://dashboard.callinize.com/callsequence
2. OR click on "troubleshooting", scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the call sequence tool button
Create a new sequence with a useful title like "Manual outbound dial to phone # xxxxxxxxxx".
Perform the steps required to replicate the reported call issue. For example:
– If you are not able to see Floating UI on an inbound call, then make an inbound test call.
– If you notice that the call Floating UI does not find a matching record you expect to find in your CRM, make a call to this lead.
– If you notice that certain calls do not terminate in the Floating UI view, initiate the call sequence before one of these calls, wait for the call to happen or force the call to happen and then stop the sequence when the call ends.

Your resume is one of the most important elements of your job search. Use the following ideas to help you write a better one.
1. Do tell the truth. It can be tempting to embellish your resume, but hiring managers often catch on to this right away. Even if you were to be hired, you'd likely be let go once the truth came out.
2. Don't make your resume too long or too short. A long resume is too hard for a busy hiring manager to skim through, but one that is too short makes it seem as if you aren't invested. Aim for one to two pages. If you are applying for a position that requires a CV, more than two pages is acceptable.
3. Do list job titles first when listing your experience. The exception is if you happened to work for very prominent companies in your industry.
4. Don't write job descriptions. When listing your duties and responsibilities for each position you've held, avoid actually using the words "duties" or "responsibilities. " Instead, use action words. Always use quantifiable information when you can.
5. Do write a summary at the top. This paragraph-style section should be between four and six lines. Focus on presenting your most relevant experience, skills and accomplishments. Think of it as your attention-grabbing headline.
Whether you are looking for jobs in Elkhart Township or anywhere else in the United States, a solid plan of action will help you keep on track until you reach your goal. Use the following tips and tricks to create your own plan.
1. Consider changing industries. You probably have skills that would transfer well to other industries or career paths.
2. Network. Attend job fairs and events related to your industry. Talk to other people you know in your field.
3. Create a LinkedIn account to display your professional information. Twitter's hashtags can be a great resource as can Facebook's groups.
4. Consider alternative resources. See if your local government offices offer job resources. They might have leads or offer classes to help you write a resume and prepare for interviews.
5. Keep several copies of your resume and your business card on hand. Additionally, keep an interview-appropriate outfit clean at all times in case you get asked in at the last minute.

But that's just my opinion. My v4.5 can't keep the battery in place, either, so I've given up on it.

Simpson book rights to be auctioned in April
Authorities on Tuesday said rights to O.J. Simpson's aborted book "If I Did It" would be auctioned on April 17, putting his quasi-confessional tome one step closer to finally being published.Proceeds from the court-ordered auction, to be held in Sacramento, California, will help satisfy a $33.5 million civil judgment rendered against the former National Football League star in 1997 for the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
The public auction comes five months after News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch halted plans to publish Simpson's book about how he could have committed the 1994 slayings had he been the one responsible for the murders.
Simpson has otherwise staunchly maintained his innocence.
A Los Angeles judge ordered rights to the book put up for bid at the request of Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, who originally condemned it as shameful exploitation but whose campaign to collect on the civil judgment against Simpson has virtually ensured that "If I Did It" will find its way into circulation.
"He can't cash grief at the bank," said Goldman's lawyer, David Cook. "The sheriff is now running the book-of-the-month club."
Simpson, acquitted in 1995 of criminal charges at the end of a sensational murder trial, has vowed never to voluntarily pay the judgment, and little of it has been collected to date.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department was assigned to conduct the book auction because the original publisher, News Corp.-owned HarperCollins, has offices in the California capital and its designated agent for "service of process" is located there.
Cook said he had no idea how much rights to the book might fetch at auction.
"Nobody can tell," he told Reuters. "That is extremely difficult to assess. Who knows who's going to show up?"
Plans to publish "If I Did It" and to broadcast an accompanying TV interview on the Fox network were both canceled by Murdoch in November amid a torrent of public outrage.
Publisher Judith Regan, who brokered the book deal and conducted the interview, was fired from her HarperCollins imprint, ReganBooks, about a month later.


text: Well, i'm out the other end of nearly 3 hours of historical epic - phew. So, is it the mess you've been lead to believe it is? Alexander the Great, one of the greatest military commanders in human history, If BBC2's Time Commanders is to be believed his tactics are still taught today, nearly two and a half thousand years later. Although you wouldn't know of his military prowess from this film. Prowess that enabled him to expand an empire across half of asia. To form the largest empire the world had known to that point The film focus's on Alexanders whole life - his realitionship with his mother (Angelina Jolie) and the shadow of his father (Val Kilmer). Unfortunatly the films scope is just too large, cramming in everything, meaning that some characters and situations are introduced and then glossed over. The story is told through flash backs that are all over place, zipping about in time - leading to a feeling of disorientation. The battles are huge, massive numbers of solidrs which i assume are CG. but this leads them to be very confusing. However they very bloody - think drenched. However, the most jarring aspect is the fact that everyone speaks with an Irish accent. You get used to it after a while, but its a bit weird. i'm not suggesting that a bunch of actors with new york accents would have been acceptable, its just strange to see even non irish actors speaking with the blarney lilt. So, while i really wanted to like it, i'm sorry to say i cant - it's a mess. See i could get through the whole post without mentioning Gladiator D'oh! Gary

Well, it's finally here… Launch day!
Two-plus years, eighty thousand individual checkins of art and code, countless hours of testing, and it all builds towards today! At long last we turn over the keys to you all. It's your game now… Whether you're someone who plays the game on easy and wants to see how the endings differ, or a borderline crazy completionist who needs to get every last blast shard and every last XP possible. Or maybe you want to contribute your own pages to the story and create some missions for the whole community (including us at Sucker Punch!) to play and enjoy…
Whichever you are, it's your game now. We hope you enjoy the game a bunch, and look forward to hearing from you all about your inFAMOUS 2 experience!
Have you ever put on a wedding or a huge party? A bunch of us are in working this weekend, but it's not just the normal bug fixing, polishing, and optimizing. Today we're hanging art, arranging some furniture, and (shudder) cleaning up our offices. All of this is being done in preparation for the 60+ media members who will be flying up to Seattle on Monday for our "Media Day" event for inFAMOUS 2. So you can think of this as our once-every-two-years chance to spruce up the place, and put on a little bit of a show.
Today I'm here to talk about everyone's favorite topic: powers! More specifically, how does Cole manage to improve on is already impressive set of electrical abilities?
For those of you who don't know the original inFAMOUS story, Cole's electrical powers appear when he's caught in the blast of a mysterious device called the Ray Sphere. Cole gains more and more abilities, becomes more and more powerful, and survives the gauntlet of Empire City… but he also is given a glimpse into his future. He realizes that even at the height of his powers, he is no match for the challenge that awaits. A battle with a great Beast looms, and Cole isn't ready to face it.

Excess water and salts in the soil forming the crop root zone are injurious to plants. Crop yields may drastically reduce on poorly drained soils. Under prolonged waterlogged conditions, the crops eventually die owing to lack of oxygen in the root zone. The main purpose of drainage is to provide a favourable root environment, which is conducive to the proper growth of plants. Artificial drainage is essential on poorly drained agricultural fields to ensure an optimum air-water-salt regime in the crop root zone.

We've all received THAT gift that made our hearts swell with love. It wasn't the most expensive gift, it wasn't the fanciest gift, but it was the most thoughtful.
You can create that magic moment for a special child in your life – your own daughter or son, their best friend, your best friend's child, your niece or nephew, your neighbour… They will always fondly remember that moment and thank you for it.
Here are a few ways to create that unforgettable moment. It may take a little bit of thought but it doesn't have to take much time.

LAS VEGAS -- Donald Trump notched a win in Nevada's Republican caucuses on Tuesday as Marco Rubio bid to elbow out Ted Cruz for second place in an increasingly urgent effort to slam the brakes on the Trump juggernaut.
Trump now has three straight victories -- in the West, the South and Northeast -- a testament to his broad appeal among the mad-as-hell voters making their voices heard in the 2016 presidential race.
Six in 10 caucus-goers said they were angry with the way the government is working, and Trump got about half of those angry voters, according to preliminary results of an entrance poll.
Nevada was a critical test for Rubio and Cruz, the two senators battling to emerge as the clear alternative to the GOP front-runner. Rubio was out to prove he can build on recent momentum, while Cruz was looking for a spark to recover from a particularly rocky stretch in his campaign.
Rubio, already campaigning in Michigan as caucus results rolled in, was projecting confidence that he can consolidate the non-Trump voters who have been splintering among an assortment of GOP candidates, saying, "we have incredible room to grow."
Cruz, a fiery conservative popular among voters on the GOP's right, finished a disappointing third in South Carolina after spending much of the past two weeks denying charges of dishonest campaign tactics and defending his integrity. Another disappointing finish in Nevada would raise new questions about his viability heading into a crucial batch of Super Tuesday states on March 1.
"There's something wrong with this guy," Trump said with his usual measure of tact during a massive Las Vegas rally Monday night. The former reality television star tweeted on Tuesday, "He used him as a scape goat-fired like a dog! Ted panicked."
Nevada's caucusing played out in schools, community centers and places of worship across the state -- a process that's been chaotic in the past.
Count Tracy Brigida, fed up after her husband was laid off from his mining job, among those caucusing for Trump.
"I want a businessman to run the biggest business in the world," Brigida said as she caucused at a Las Vegas high school.
Jeremy Haight drove straight from his marketing job to caucus for Rubio at the same high school.
"He's the most level-headed. He hasn't said anything stupid or crazy ... which is really what I think the country needs," Haight said.
It was Cruz for Megan Ortega, who declared: "He's consistent, he's bold and he's a class act."
Preliminary results of the entrance poll found that about 3 in 10 early caucus- goers said the quality that mattered most to them in choosing a candidate was that he shares their values, slightly more than the quarter who said they want a candidate who can win in November. About a quarter said they want a candidate who can bring change. About 2 in 10 want one who "tells it like it is."
Nevada state marks the first Republican election in the West, the fourth of the campaign. And it's not one that's gotten much attention from the GOP candidates.
Through Tuesday, the Republican candidates and the super PACs supporting them had spent a combined $3.8 million on television and radio advertisements in Nevada -- less than a tenth of the $39.3 million spent ahead of last weekend's South Carolina primary, according to Kantar Media's CMAG data.
That primary reduced a GOP field that included a dozen candidates a month ago to five, with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush the latest to drop out after a disappointing finish in South Carolina. Ohio Gov. John Kasich and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson remain in the race and could play spoilers as the trio of leading candidates, Trump, Cruz and Rubio, battle for delegates with an increasing sense of urgency.
But even in Ohio, Kasich's home state, a new Quinnipiac College poll Tuesday had Trump leading the Ohio governor with 31 percent of likely voters to 26 percent for Kasich in second place.
Trump's rivals concede they are running out of time to stop him.
The election calendar suggests that if the New York billionaire's rivals don't slow him by mid-March, they may not ever. Trump swept all of South Carolina's 50 delegates, giving him a total of 67 compared to Cruz and Rubio who have 11 and 10, respectively.
There are 30 delegates at stake in Nevada, awarded to candidates in proportion to their share of the statewide vote so long as they earn at least 3.33 percent. While proportional contests give Trump's weaker rivals a chance to accumulate delegates, proportional contests also make it difficult to catch up if one candidate runs up a significant lead.
After finishing third in Iowa, fifth in New Hampshire and second in South Carolina, Rubio needs a win soon to support the idea that he is the prime heir to Bush's supporters.
Indeed, Republican establishment heavyweights have been flooding to Rubio in recent days, including Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis and Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch. South Florida's three Cuban-American members of Congress announced their support for him in the hours before the Nevada contest.
The entrance poll survey was conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks by Edison Research as Republican voters arrived at 25 randomly selected caucus sites in Nevada.
