Summary for event calendars:
Viva's Holiday: An Opera in One Act
Star Theater Portland • 13 NW 6th Ave
December 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17
9 pm • 21+
Second annual performance also features author Viva Las Vegas, comedian Wendy Weiss
This season an original opera about a stripper going home for Christmas returns to the Star Theater, where it promises to become a new Portland holiday tradition.
It is rare for an original opera to aim beyond circles of elite afficionados and connect with a city, a time, an underground. Viva's Holiday: An Opera in One Act proved to be such a work in its 2015 premiere. Inspired by the memoirs of Portland stripper/author Viva Las Vegas (Liv Osthus), it is a lyrical story about a young woman on an unconventional path testing the limits of family acceptance during a holiday visit. A classically-informed score exhibits charming motivity, intertwined with irreverent humor and poignant searching for the meaning of "home." The opera runs 50 minutes and is written for four singers and a twelve-piece chamber orchestra.
The 2016 production is in response to fans who called for the work to be a part of Portland's annual roster of holiday shows, following a three-night run of full houses last year. Unlike familiar Nutcracker reboots and endless Dickens adaptations, this is a story rooted in our city's recent history and reaching toward a meaning that reflects our time. And unlike other common underground offerings which rely on canned or covered songs from elsewhere, the original music and poetry is intended to be Portland's own cultural capital — part of composer Christopher Corbell's quest to establish new underground opera in the Rose City as our weird, poetic, insurgent answer to Broadway's glitz and self-importance.
This year's production again employs stage director Pat Janowski (Post5 Theater et al) and music director Erica Melton (Opera Theater Oregon). A more seasoned orchestra backs a returning cast, with the exception of the Brother role which will be sung this year by tenor Aaron Lange. Soprano Helen Funston will again bring her versatile musicianship to the role of Viva, with mezzo Sadie Gregg returning in the role of Mom and baritone Bobby Jackson singing Dad.
The performances at Portland's Star Theater will include an opening set, hosted by stripper / comedian Wendy Weiss. Viva Las Vegas will read excerpts from her memoirs and also perform vocal music with the "sixteenth-century sex-pop" group Bergerette. Each evening will open with an aesthetic pole dance accompanied by a live string quartet; Weiss has recruited a roster of eminent strippers from the current Portland scene who will make alternating appearances.

Spray Foam Insulation in Limerick, Clare, Tipperary, Cork and Kerry.
Attic Insulation, Air tight systems, Commercial Insulation, Farm Insulation, Home Insulation, Soundproofing Insulation and Wall Insulation and PVC Installation.
Spray foam is sprayed in place through a gun. Polyurethane and Isocyanate foams are applied as a two-component mixture that comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam. Cementitious foam is applied in a similar manner but does not expand. Spray foam insulation is sprayed onto concrete slabs, into wall cavities of an unfinished wall, against the interior side of sheathing, or through holes drilled in sheathing or drywall into the wall cavity of a finished walls.
Higher humidity and wet conditions, our houses can be a sources of fungal and mould attack. There are many negative health problems arising from such conditions especially the release of fungal spores into the breathable living air space.
Reality is that Irish weather conditions have deteriorated with lower temperatures and higher precipitation and humidity especially in Munster counties including Kerry, Cork, Limerick, Clare, Tipperary and Waterford. Another sad reality is that the price of energy has increased and continues to do at alarming levels. Predictions in early 2013 suggest that energy costs are likely to double by 2018.
We are all aware of the negative environmental impact of using fossil fuels but look at these more of a global issue rather than an urgent door step problem. Every unit of heat from oil, gas and coal has a rapidly growing carbon cost / tax. In addition, the raw material cost is also increasing due to depleting resources.
If you own an A rated passive house using only renewable energy or fully insulated house we cannot help you. However, if you amongst those without proper insulation then, you are losing money every minute of the day. If you decide to do nothing your bills will more than double within five years.
Spray Foam Insulation is an important step to reducing your heat losses. By investing now you save significantly in the future, increase the capital value of your property and utilise heat for the purpose intended. Spray foam also has great Soundproof Qualities which allows for greater privacy in domestic houses, offices and commercial buildings.
Our Philosophy
"To have it saves Looking for it. Saving energy saves money"

Environmental Law Institute Publishes Two Wind Siting Studies
June 20, 2011
The Environmental Law Institute released two new wind power siting studies that examine and make recommendations on how state and local governments should site and permit large wind facilities. State Enabling Legislation for Commercial-Scale Wind Power Siting and the Local Government Role reveals that local governments play a major role in siting decisions in 48 of the 50 states. Researchers found that states can, but often have not, defined the scope and limits to local government siting regulations, and that state standards can assist in ensuring that relevant environmental and safety issues are addressed. Siting Wind Facilities on State-Owned Lands and Waters examines opportunities for siting commercial-scale wind facilities on government-owned lands and waters.

Similar to my previous card about DIY bb cream, this cc cream DIY is inspired by WEI. Though this color-correcting cream doesn't come with Chinese Licorice--whatever that is--you won't be spending $37 on this either. More like $2 (or less) because the ingredients you need are probably already in your medicine cabinet or makeup bag.
For this to work effectively, you need to incorporate bb cream into this recipe. You can use store-bought bb cream or follow my cheap and cheerful Clinique-inspired DIY tutorial here.
* Water bottle
* Bowl
* Spatula
* Pump container (empty)
* BB Cream (for my DIY recipe, click here)
* Loose shimmer powder (ultra fine)
* Moisturizer
* Sunscreen
* Tonic water
This ratios may need to be adjusted to your personal preference. Just keep in mind that cc creams are supposed to be sheer and not as heavy as bb creams. If you find that the cc cream in this tutorial goes on the same as your bb cream then you may need to add more moisture. Keep an eye on your quantities.
Also, the loose powder must be ultra fine. Don't use glitter. Remember, this is a cc cream not a bronzer. The shimmer powder is only to give added illumination to your skin.
How To
1. Fill water bottle with tonic water.
2. Measure out 1/4 cup of bb cream into bowl (make your own using my recipe here)
3. Add 3/4 tsp moisturizer
4. Add 3/4 tsp sunscreen
5. Add 1 tsp loose powder
6. Spritz twice with tonic water
7. Mix everything very well. No lumps allowed!
8. Store in another empty pump-style bottle and label appropriately
If you're wondering how this cc cream DIY is only $2, this tutorial uses resources you should already have in your vanity. Tonic water may be the only think you have to purchase. You can find it for less than $2 depending on where you go.
Hope you try this out and have fun with it. Makes great gifts for your friends too.

When you were watching the AFC Championship game earlier this past January you saw Tom Brady and the New England Patriots shred thru the Indianapolis Colts like a hot knife through butter as the team in the dark blue jerseys and silver helmets ran up the scoreboard because they were the better and more talented team on that night.
But that one moment you were wondering about when one of the on field officials picked up a ball before the Patriots snapped it and changed it from the sidelines, you were wondering about what was going on. Well when the news came out at the start of the second half that the New England Patriots eleven game balls were deflated by two pounds, you wondered if we were going to have another moment of improprieties and after the Patriots won the AFC, news came out that two men who worked for the team and got orders from Tom Brady to intentionally deflate the game balls.
After the Patriots won the Super Bowl and a total of three and a half months went by of Ted Wells independent investigation on this matter was over, the NFL decided to fine the New England Patriots one Million Dollars, take away their 1st Round pick in the 2016 Draft & a fourth round pick in the 2017 Draft. Tom Brady who supposedly did not intentionally do the deed, but informed these two men on how he wanted to handle the game balls was given a four game suspension that doesn't count towards their Week 4 Bye.
And now we have a verbal war going around from all parties involved from the Patriots to the League, to the former Patriots players that played with Brady who analyze the NFL on ESPN & NFL Network to the fans in & outside of Boston. First let's go to the Patriots vs. the NFL as we have seen a lot of shenanigans going on from within the league. While it looks like the NFL finally got this one correct, they are not innocent in this matter as we all know how they handled the Ray Rice mess and the first infraction of Spy Gate as the Patriots were caught cheating. Filming their opponent's signals during practices and sending it back to Bill Belechick. Roger Goodell has failed the fans and 31 out of 32 of his bosses as the shield has been damaged for a good long time.
The arrogance of the Patriots have soured on the other owners and the majority of the NFL's fan bases outside the Boston & New England area, as they are seen as a team not so much trying to push the boundaries of the rule book; but to break it at any time. The majority will never trust the Patriots because no matter what happens on the field even if it looks like a legitimate game was played, those will always find fault no matter what.
Former players who played with Brady like Teddy Bruschi, Willie McGinest & Heath Evans that are analysts for ESPN & NFL Network respectively have come out and defended Brady saying "Not once have I seen him break the rules." Using their platform to support Brady in his time of need, let's also not forget that every fan of Brady and all of Boston is informing every single fan outside of their region that everyone is jealous of the team's success and the NFL is on a witch hunt for no reason.
After digesting all the information online, dvr'ing shows on both networks to get to the answers I needed to seek, the conclusion I have come up with is very simple. If the New England Patriots were the better team in the AFC Championship game and they were definitely better than the Colts, why does Tom Brady need help from two idiots to deflate the game balls and compromise the integrity of the game?
Why does this team from New England continue to show their arrogance every single game and continue to bend the rules and hoping not to or not caring if they did break the rules to win a game or to get to the Super Bowl? Bill Belichick is a smart coach and Tom Brady is a very talented Quarterback that doesn't need to go this far to prove what they are, but for some silly reason they want to prove a point and while that point is disgusting they are showing what they really have become. Taking a phrase from former WWF/WWE wrestler & commentator Jesse "The Body" Ventura in the 80's "Win if you can, Lose if you must, But always Cheat" because right now there is no integrity from this team.
You have never seen great QB's in the past pull out illegal plays just to get to a Super Bowl. Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Joe Namath, Terry Bradshaw, Eli & Peyton Manning, John Elway, Joe Montana, Joe Flacco, Phil Simms, Drew Brees and many other Quarterbacks from the past to the present have always showed the honor and playing the right way to get to and winning a Super Bowl Championship. As most of you know I am a New York Jets fan and in Baseball I'm a Yankees fan, the one moment I can relate to this type of illegal move or illegal play is from the early 90's as Tim Leary was pitching for the Yankees and on the road down in Baltimore.
It was Sunday Night Baseball and of course more cameras than normal would be around Oriole Park. Play was stopped by the Umpires as they went to the mound to check the Yankees starting pitcher's glove. They examined Leary's glove and found nothing so play resumed, but one camera on a close up shot saw Leary cover his face with his glove, but had enough room to see him stuff a piece of sandpaper in his mouth to doctor a baseball and avoid an ejection as well as a possible suspension. I was disappointed and turned off the t.v. as I didn't care about the win or the loss anymore.
A player on the team I cheer for did the wrong thing & I'll be honest I have decided to stop cheering for Alex Rodriguez because not only have I forgave him once for admitting he took steroids before the 2009 season got started, but when he got caught the second time and suspended for the entire 2014 season, I swore that I will never cheer for him again in the uniform of my favorite team.
As I have read many facebook posts discussing the Tom Brady situation and many saying that Jets fans are jealous of this so called success, the truth is that I'm not jealous at all. I am not ashamed of being a Jets fan and at the same time why would I be jealous of teams that has won championships the legal and right way? I respect the Steelers, 49ers, NY Football Giants, Ravens, Colts and other NFL teams that won either one or multiple titles. If all four Super Bowl Championships were won the same way as these other teams have done, I would applaud the Patriots and maybe I wouldn't like it but I have to respect it. But sadly that respect has been thrown out the window as this team with a Great Owner, a fantastic Head Coach and a talented Quarterback has proven they need to break the rules to earn a couple of false titles.

The day before Diwali is celebrated as 'Choti Diwali' or 'Small Diwali' or 'Naraka Chaturdashi'. People celebrate this day with lights and crackers but on a smaller scale.
The celebration of Choti Diwali
Women decorate their house with beautiful rangolis in the morning after choti diwali. Tiny footprints which symbolizes the footprints of Goddess Lakshmi, made out of rice paste are a special feature of the rangolis made for Diwali. In the evening Lakshmi Puja is done with Arati and Bhajans. After the puja, the diyas are placed in and around the house: in the doorway, near the Tulsi plant. In Hindu homes, Chhoti Diwali celebrations involve a ritual puja to Goddess Lakshmi and also to Rama in the evening. Songs in honor of the god are sung and aarti is performed.
The origin of Choti Diwali
This day is also known as "Bali Pratipada". The word Pratiprada literally means "below the opponent's foot". According to the myth Bali was an immensely powerful king. When God felt that King Bali was becoming too powerful, lord Vishnu, disguised as a sage of diminutive proportions, appeared in his court. Bali offered to fulfill any of the sage's wishes. The sage asked for all the land he could cover in three paces. King Bali agreed immediately. Vishnu then assumed a gigantic form and claimed the earth (Mrityuloka), and the heavens (Swargloka) in just two steps. To keep his foot down the 3rd time, he asked the king where should he keep his step. Bali happily offered his head. Thus, the reign of Bali was overthrown.
Also known as Narak Chaturdasi in another legend. There was this demon king Narakasur, ruler of Pragjyotishpur (a province to the South of Nepal).
He became very powerful and conquered both earth and heaven and imprisoned 16000 damsels. As a result he was attacked by lord Krishna and killed by him. Before death, he asked for this boon from Krishna that his last day be celebrated in grand style. Mother Bhudevi declared that his death should not be a day of mourning but an occasion to celebrate and rejoice. Since then, Deepavali is being celebrated by people every year with joy and lots of fun.
This day is celebrated in South India by some different rituals. People wake up before sunrise, prepare a paste by mixing Kumkum in oil, symbolizing blood and after breaking a bitter fruit that represents the head of the demon king that was smashed by Krishna, apply that mixture on their foreheads. Then they have an oil bath using sandalwood paste.

5 dead in Northern California shootings that ended at elementary school
Five people are dead and two others were left wounded in a shooting spree that began at a home in Northern California on Tuesday and ended at an elementary school, officials there say. Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston told reporters the shooting started shortly after 8 a.m. local time in Rancho Tehama Reserve, Calif., a small rural community about 130 miles north of Sacramento.
Johnston said there were multiple shots fired at the home, and that it "evolved to multiple shots and multiple victims" at the school, where the suspected shooter was killed by police. Johnston said authorities recovered a semi-automatic rifle and two handguns they believe the gunman used. A nearby coffee shop owner told KRCR-TV she heard as many as 100 shots fired outside the school.
Jeanine Quist, an administrative assistant with the Corning Union Elementary School District, told the Associated Press that no one was killed at the school but that a "number" of students were shot and wounded. Cory Ferreira told KRCR he was dropping his daughter off for kindergarten at the school when he "heard what sounded like a firecracker." A school employee ran out, Ferreira said, and yelled for the children to get inside.
Ferreira said he ran into a classroom, where gunfire came through the windows, hitting one student. A student in an adjacent room was also struck, he said. At least two children were wounded and transported from the school, Johnston said, including one via helicopter. The rest of the children were safely evacuated from the school.
About 100 law enforcement officers responded to "at least seven" crime scenes, the deputy said, adding that the California Highway Patrol and FBI are assisting local police in the investigation. "It's a very sad day for us in Tehama County," Johnston said, breaking into tears. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., tweeted that she was "heartbroken" over the news.
Another witness, Brian Flint, told KCRA-TV that the suspected gunman stole his truck after killing his roommate. Flint said he and his roommate lived near the suspect, who he only knew as Kevin. "The crazy thing is that the neighbor has been shooting a lot of bullets lately — hundreds of rounds, large magazines," Flint said. "This guy has been crazy, and he's been threatening us and everything. I just feel like there maybe should have been more effort put into stopping things like this."

It is definitely a CCD issue. First of all how long have you owned the camera? I am guessing it is out of warranty so in most cases it is the best option to purchase a replacement as you will be able to get one twice as good for about as much as the ... Digital Cameras

The overlap between fashion and art is undeniable. Collaborations between artists and designers are the norm. Just think back to Givenchy's SS16 runway show in New York, where artistic director Riccardo Tisci collaborated with performance artist Marina Abramovic. In her Fashion Week after-party Victoria Beckham enlisted the help of Martin Creed to recreate his piece "No. 2497, Half the Air in a Given Space," filling her Dover Street store with white balloons. This week Frieze, the most anticipated art fair in London, kicks off in Regent's Park. Fashion will undoubtedly make an appearance in the extravaganza – Alexander McQueen's label McQ is sponsoring the Frieze after-party in the ICA.
Frida's paint-splattered jumpsuit is a more obvious demonstration of art in fashion. We particularly love how the colour scheme is reminiscent of a Mondrian painting, so thanks to Frida for bringing a bit of art into street style.
Frida is wearing:
Jumpsuit by Maal Barcelona
Turban vintage
Glasses and bag by Monki
Shoes by Jeffrey Campbell

The lineup is complete, get ready for carnage in May.
As promised, Top Gear has announced the additional cast members for the revamped show with the new lineup to include Chris Harris and Sabine Schmitz – as was rumored a few weeks ago – as well as F1 pundit Eddie Jordan and automotive journalist Rory Reid. They will join host Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc and The Stig when the new show airs in May. We know all about Chris Harris, who has rightly earned in his place on the biggest stage there is.
"Top Gear is the thing that helped shape my life with cars, my perception of cars and my obsession with cars, and I'm raring to give it a go. I'm also quite gobby and happy to get into trouble. And if it all goes wrong, well, I can say I was once on Top Gear, and just head back to being that annoying small bloke off YouTube." Racing driver Sabine Schmitz, best known for driving a van around the Nurburgring said: "I grew up next to the Nurburgring and have been racing for most of my life, so the chance to combine both driving and filming was too good an opportunity to pass up."
"My yacht is bigger than your yacht" Eddie Jordan, once ran his own F1 team, and is the most senior member of the new team. "I have such enormous respect for all my fellow presenters and I politely ask that they go easy on these old bones." Finally, Rory Reid , who made the cut after submitting a 30-second audition tape. He'll be a stranger to most, but has been on our radar for a couple of years. Great choice, and we can't wait to see him on the big screen. "To be the only person to make it through the open audition process makes me immensely proud. I've been a Top Gear fan for decades, but more than that, I live and breathe cars in a way that is perfectly compatible with the show,"

Tips on how to take care of your baby
From the day the baby is brought to home it keeps growing day by day and its life is changing. The initial stages of the growth of the baby is very crucial and hence it is very important to take care of them at that point of time. Mother's can get to know about the tips on how to care for baby and make use of them. Below are few tips that can facilitate you to make your baby time special,
• Skin care: The new born baby's skin will be beautiful smooth and soft and so sensitive to allergens and irritants. You should keep your baby's skin protected, moisturized and clean.
• You should be aware that your infant baby gets hungry once in three hours.
• If the baby starts crying, the baby may need your attention, take the baby in your arms play or dandle with her.
• The baby used to sleep often. But the duration of sleep remains not more than two to three hours.
• While changing the diaper wash the baby, use baby powder to prevent it from irritation. This will keep your baby comfortable and safe.
• Take your infant at least once a day out for walk. This will support the baby to have good mood and good immune system.
• While outing your baby for little longer time do not leave the baby undressed as it may get cold when exposed to outside surroundings. Give medications only after consulting with the child's doctor.
• The baby's crying can be stopped temporarily using a pacifier.
The harmonious development of the baby greatly depends on the nutrition. Do not forget that the best ideal food for your infant baby is breast milk containing all necessary vitamins and minerals necessary for the kid.

The 2012-13 school year saw the total number of reportable acts of school crime and violence, short- and long-term suspensions and the use of corporal punishment continue their downward trend although the number of expulsions increased according to the 2012-13 Consolidated Data Report today presented to State Board of Education members. The total number of acts of school crime and violence was the lowest reported since 2008-09 while the number of students in North Carolina public schools was at an all-time high - 1,492,793.
State Superintendent June Atkinson was pleased that students are more focused on academic achievement and that schools are striving hard to provide a positive learning environment. "If all students are to graduate career- and college-ready, they must be focused on learning and the classroom environment should support this. I want to thank our administrators for ensuring that our schools are as safe as possible and encouraging positive student behavior."
Key findings of the 2012-13 Consolidated Data Report show that:
School Crime and Violence
- The total number of reported acts of school crime and violence decreased by 4.8 percent to 10,630 from 11,161 acts in 2011-12. The rate of acts per 1,000 students also decreased by 5.6 percent to 7.20 acts per 1,000 students as compared to 7.63 acts per 1,000 students in 2011-12.
- Schools are required to report 16 offenses that occur on campus or school property. Of those reported, dangerous or violent offenses account for 3 percent or 329. The most frequently reported acts involved illegal possession of controlled substances, weapons (excluding firearms or powerful explosives) or alcoholic beverages, and assault on school personnel. These four acts accounted for 96 percent or 10,155 of the total number of reported acts.
- Seventy-eight percent or 1,961 schools reported five or less acts of crime and violence.
Suspensions and Expulsions
- Short-term suspensions (10 days or fewer) among students in all grades decreased by 4 percent in 2012-13. There were 247,919 short-term suspensions reported as opposed to the 258,197 reported in 2011-12. Of that total, 45 percent or 111,122 can be attributed to high school students, which is a 9.4 percent decrease from the 2011-12 total of 122,655. The average duration of a single short-term suspension was 2.74 days.
- Long-term suspensions (11 days or more) declined among students in all grades in 2012-13, with 1,423 reported. This is an 11.6 percent decrease from the 1,609 reported in 2011-12. High school students received 982 or 69 percent of long-term suspensions, which was a 12.4 percent decrease from 2011-12. The average duration of a long-term suspension was 49.3 school days, down from 53.8 days per suspension in 2011-12.
- Expulsions were up in 2012-13 with 37 reported as opposed to 30 in 2011-12. High school students received 28 of those expulsions.
Corporal Punishment
- Corporal punishment declined by nearly 50 percent in 2012-13. Districts that employ corporal punishment reported 203 uses, a 49.8 percent decrease from the 404 reported in 2011-12. Of the 165 students reported as receiving corporal punishment, 136 received corporal punishment once, while 29 received it two or more times.
- Corporal punishment was used at least once by nine school districts, down from 12 the previous year. Four districts reported using corporal punishment one time.
- The use of corporal punishment is a local school board policy.
The full report detailing district-by-district data on all of these measures is available online at www.ncpublicschools.org/research/discipline/reports/.

Ellicott City
With his first major piece of legislation, Darrel Drown, R-2, is jumping on the term-limitation band wagon. This is the trendy new idea that says that the people aren't intelligent enough to pick the correct leaders. It is a continuation of the anti-politician, anti-incumbent mood of the last election, and it goes against the fundamental principles of democracy.
Politicians are public servants. They serve at the pleasure of citizens who elect them. If they do not represent the citizens, if they do a poor job executing the duties of office,if there is scandal, the public should have a means to turn them out.

Published January 13, 2015
Two Southwest Division rivals, both seemingly headed to the playoffs, will try to put ugly losses behind them on Friday night when the Memphis Grizzlies host the Houston Rockets.
The Grizzlies, who have clinched a postseason berth, are currently the fifth seed in the Western Conference. They are a game behind the Denver Nuggets for fourth and 1 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Clippers for third.
The Rockets are seventh in the Western Conference, but just a game shy of the Golden State Warriors in sixth. Houston is three games in front of the Los Angeles Lakers, who are currently eighth.
The Grizzlies have lost two in a row and three out of four. The most recent setbacks both came on the road when they fell to the Washington Wizards on Monday and the New York Knicks on Wednesday.
The Grizzlies welcomed back starting center Marc Gasol, who missed two games with an abdominal tear. Memphis played horribly early and fell behind by as many as 30.
Memphis clawed back and made it a game. They lost 108-101 to make it respectable in the end.
"Obviously, it was a bad start, getting all the way down by 30 points," Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said. "I'm proud of our guys, the way that they showed character and fought back."
Mike Conley led the way for Memphis with 26 points and Jerryd Bayless added 24 points off the bench. Tony Allen netted 18 and Gasol finished with 13 in his return.
Starting forwards Tayshaun Prince and Zach Randolph combined for eight points.
The Rockets lost to the visiting Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, 100-91. It was a battle of the NBA's best defensive team, in terms of opponents' scoring, against the NBA's second-best offensive team.
Defense won.
"We got way down early and it just didn't seem like we had any zip or any spunk to start the game," said Rockets coach Kevin McHale. "We were lagging and, again, we just never got a rhythm that made for a funky game."
The Rockets, who average about 106 ppg, only scored 19 points in the first quarter and were down 16.
Houston was led by James Harden, who netted 22 points. Greg Smith scored 18 in a reserve role and Chandler Parsons and Thomas Robinson both scored in double figures.
The Rockets shot 38 percent from the field for the night.
The two teams have split their last six meetings, including both this season. The Grizzlies have won four in a row on their own turf in this series.

From the moment we learned that Pittsburgh had been selected to host Midwest UX 2015, we knew this event could be more than just a conference.
Inviting UXers like you from across the region meant this was an opportunity to show you Pittsburgh as you've never seen it, a first-hand experience of the city's character that illustrates why so many of us have fallen in love with this place on three rivers.

Sketch Two
My trip to Eritrea would not have been complete without looking into some information on Kidane Kiflu. People sometimes ask me why I continue to research about Kidane Kiflu. My answer to that is twofold. First, I read the letters that Kidane Kiflu wrote to Jack Kramer, which are housed in the Hoover Institution Archives. Through his writing, I began to understand and appreciate his prophetic vision (while he was in his early 20's) for a future Eritrea. Second, and most importantly, I wanted to understand, through Kidane Kiflu (his life and writings), his generation. That is, the generation that brought independence to Eritrea, fighting through thick and thin to achieve this goal. In other words, was the vision that is described in his letters only his or was he representing his generation's sentiment and vision for the way forward for Eritrea at that time and beyond? I came to the conclusion that he was representing his generation. I believe that he along with Woldai Ghidey became important in the struggle because their death signified "the straw that broke the camel's back" in the EPLF's split from the ELF.
Kidane Kiflu
As evidenced with other students and student leaders who joined the Eritrean struggle such as Tekue Yehdigo, Welderufael Sebhatu, Mehari Debesai and others, they were as dedicated, well versed, well articulating in their analysis and vision as Kidane Kiflu was in his letters. Therefore, Kidane was one of the many young people of his generation who had the vision, commitment, determination and discipline to see an independent and truly free Eritrea. His letters, and letters by other student leaders of the time, testify to the aforementioned. By the way, I believe that a particular period in history can also be understood not only through archival materials, interviews, but also through letters to/from individuals, organizations, friends, family members
and etc. A couple of years ago, for example, at the Research and Documentation Center (RDC) in Asmara, I looked through letters written in the early 1970s by Eritrean students in various countries across the world to their respective organizations in various countries. It is a fascinating read. Of course, I didn't have enough time to look through all and research deeply, but suffice it to say that one day it should warrant for research on the various Eritrean student movements (Eritrean Students Association in North America, Germany, Russia "the former Soviet Union" and etc.) While we are at it, we also need to do research and publish all the posters and tapes that the liberation struggle published. It is because the various respective cultural and political productions (posters, designs on the cassettes, songs, etc.) of the time represented a
particular threat, motivation, mobilization, education, and etc. This doesn't mean it has not been done yet, but we need to do more. For example, RDC has digitized the entire Dmisti Hafash (Voice of the Masses) broadcast since its first broadcast in 1979. Also RDC has identified and reproduced digitally, books that were printed in Eritrea since the first book came out in 1867 through 1941. There were more than 750 titles identified and some 60,000 pages digitized. For more on this keep an eye for my interview with Dr. Massimo Zaccaria.
Tikue Yehdego
One thing that I noticed every time the name Kidane comes up in conversations in Eritrea is that he is remembered fondly and respectfully. I have talked to people who knew him personally and every time I end up hearing some new information about him that I have not heard before. For example, in my 2008 visit to Eritrea, I heard from a person who told me that he had received a letter from Kidane a week or so before his murder. In that letter, I heard Kidane has sensed that he was going to be killed and he had mentioned that in the letter. I have urged the person to look for the letter.
On one occasion during this visit, a group of us went to have drinks after a book signing/ book review event of Michael Adonai's latest book entitled "Tsehifto Haneta: Ekub Tewaseotat Hagerawi Bealat" (Haneta's Writings: collected national holidays theatrical plays). For a report on this event, see my upcoming Sketches of a Trip: Eritrea 2011.While discussing and admiring the just concluded event, the conversation ended up discussing Kidane Kiflu. A person who was there was shocked when he heard that I had written about him. He said that he knew Kidane and his family very well. As a matter of fact, he mentioned that he still remembers when Kidane left to join the Eritrean struggle from Addis Abeba; People who knew Kidane in Addis Abeba understood (including his family) that he was leaving for Czechoslovakia for his studies. This was something that I never heard before. Further down in the same discussion, several names popped up who knew Kidane in Addis Abeba and I jotted down the names to interview them.
Some of the people on the list were people who I already knew and had interviewed for other topics, but did not realize they knew or even went to school with Kidane. One person told me that Kidane was very serious at Haile Selassie I University in Addis Abeba. He told me that Kidane, behind the scenes, was one of organizers of the Eritrean students at the university. I also understood that he was a good friend of Professor Donald J. Grady, a Canadian political science
professor from McMaster University, who was teaching at that time at Haile Selassie I University. I was informed that Kidane Kiflu threw a party for Prof. Grady, when the latter was returning to Canada. In that event, Kidane was the MC of the party and had on his Eritrean traditional cloth. In that event, the renowned historian and playwright, Alemseged Tesfai sang a song. Who said our heroes didn't or don't have fun!
During a discussion with some people in Asmara, I heard about the book written by Tekie Beyene entitled "Kab Rik Hifinti" (a loose translation would be "a snippet from an enormous part"). I bought the book and asked Tekie to autograph it. The book is an autobiographical account of his involvement in the struggle. It is the first of its kind. Tekue Yihdego's name is mentioned many times as one of the student organizers in Asmara. As I mentioned at the beginning of this sketch, Tekue Yehdego's (Mehari Debesai's and others') writing and vision was similar to Kidane's. In the book Tekie mentions that sometime later after Yehdego joined the liberation struggle, he was sent to Beirut, Lebanon. By this time, Kidane Kiflu was already killed (1969) in Kessela, Sudan. In Beirut, Merhai Debesai and others arranged for Tekue to get married to Haddas. When their son was born, the couple named him Kidane in memory of Kidane Kiflu. Later, Tekue died in Eritrea while he was on assignment. And guess what? The god-father of Kidane Tikue is none other than the president of Eritrea, Isaias Afeworki. All of the above and more are detailed in the aforementioned book by Tekie Beyene. I recommend the book highly. I encourage other people who participated in the struggle for Eritrea's independence to follow Tekie's example and write their personal experiences in the struggle.

A. Jamison what's his status ?
Haven't heard much about Jamison at all this season , and am wondering how his game is , does he still have enough juice to put in some serious minutes , And what's his take on possibly a playoff push ?
Last year I don't even recall watching him , has he lost a step and or lift ?

Re: A. Jamison what's his status ?
I like Jamison, although a lot of people really hate him. I mean, the guy is talented. He can score at will, it's just not forced. His points come in the flow of the offense which is a rare trait of high volume scorers like him. The main knock on 'Tawn is that he's soft. That he's got no heart. Which is complete bull**** because he's led that team when Caron pussied out, which doesn't happen often by the way. Even though he's not a real vocal guy, Jamison knows how to get it done. I also found this article covering him and a lot of the stuff he's done this summer.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/wiz...zardsins ider
When Antawn Jamison looks at the Washington Wizards, he doesn't see a team recovering from an embarrassing and deflating 19-win campaign; a team that has struggled through injuries and first-round exits the past few seasons; or a that should be elated with a playoff appearance in the upcoming season. Jamison sees a championship contender bolstered by the additions of Mike Miller, Randy Foye and Fabricio Oberto and the return of a healthy Gilbert Arenas, Brendan Haywood and Deshawn Stevenson.
"I've been around here for six years and championship talk wasn't a norm around our locker room. That's all we're talking about now," Jamsion said, with less than two weeks remaining before training camp. "If we stay healthy, I think we can compete with the upper echelon of the NBA."
And don't try to tell him that he is raising the bar too high.
"I don't care," Jamison said. "What you mean raising the bar too high? We won 19 games last year and I'll be honest with you, we didn't have a lot of our horses. But I don't have anything else to play for. I'm not going to sit here and sugar coat things because it's not the right thing to say. I believe it.
"I believe playing the game the right way and staying healthy, we can compete with Boston, we can compete with Cleveland and Orlando and if you can compete with those teams, you can put yourself in that category as far as teams that can contend for a championship," he said.
Jamison was speaking from Jefferson Junior High School in Southwest, where the 11-year veteran helped launch a nationwide program, HP Digital Assist. The program, sponsored by HP and the NBA, will give about 5,000 students from 100 middle schools in Washington, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami and the San Francisco area the chance to compete for more than $80,000 in HP mobile digital classroom technology, NBA tickets, player visits and other awards.
After delivering a brief speech and presenting some students with laptop computers and a printer, Jamison spoke at length about the Wizards' offseason and his optimism following a regular season that he called "worse than a disappointing season."
Jamison admitted that he was upset with the results in his first season under the four-year, $50-million contract he signed in the summer of 2008. Jamison was expecting to at least make it to the playoffs, not contribute to matching the worst season in franchise history. He played 81 games, missing out on the season finale because of an ankle injury that eventually led to him having surgery to remove bone spurs in May.
"I put in a lot of work this summer," Jamison said. "I'm not doing this just to be doing this. I really believe this can be a special team and if you go about it the right way, it can be a special year."
His attitude toward the team has changed dramatically after the Wizards hired Flip Saunders, made the trade for Miller and Foye, his offseason workouts with Haywood in Charlotte, and conversations with Arenas, who has been working out with renowned trainer Tim Grover in Chicago.
Jamison said Arenas is back to being the confident, braggadocious player he has grown accustomed to playing with for all but four seasons in his career. "I think you're going to get as close Agent Zero as possible," Jamison said. "He has that swagger about himself now. The way he's been talking about certain games have been going for him, pickup games. [He said,] 'I'm splitting double teams again, between the leg.' I'm like [shakes his head]. That's something he hasn't been talking about lately. He's getting closer."
"The thing about this team is, everybody has a chip on his shoulder. You got guys coming back and saying, 'Am I going to come back and be the same player I was before the injury?' You got guys trying to get new contracts. You got guys trying to make a name for themselves. And you got me, trying to lead this team to a championship. That's the only thing that we should be playing for. I think everybody has that mentality."
And Jamison can't contain his enthusiasm. "I'm happy. I love what we have. I love what the organization did. If we stay healthy, the sky's the limit. We have great team chemistry. Guys pull for one other. We've got a new captain of this ship and I love the way he's talking," Jamison said of Saunders. "I love his intensity. This guy's resume speaks for itself. He's accustomed to winning 50 games on a regular. I know he doesn't want to come in a situation and not be close to that. He's accustomed to being on teams that contend for a championship."
Seriously, a championship?
"I'm not afraid to say it all. If we come up short, I mean, it's going to be sad," Jamison said. "I don't plan on accepting winning 40-something games, making it to the playoffs. weve already accomplished that. There's only one thing we have left to accomplish and that's contending for a championship. If that's not the mindset of this organization and my coaching staff and my players, then I don't need to be here.
"If it's not possible, then there's no need for me to be here at all," he said. "That's one the reasons that I signed here ... Last year, put the stamp on a lot of things. Because that was tough. But I can't accept not being able to accomplish the most important thing --what we're trying to do is win a championship. I believe we have what it takes. If it don't get done. it doesn't get done. I'm not going to waste my time, putting on a smile and just playing hard. I think we all deserve the opportunity and I'm happy."
Now, I mean let's be real. The Wiz are NOT winning a title this season. Not to say I wouldn't mind it, but I'm a realistic fan and realisitically we won't get Gilbo and the crew a ring this summer. But look at this guy's optimism and character. It's unfortunate he's always mentioned as trade bait. It really is. Dude's a good guy and a great player. He's gonna step up this season and show all y'all.

Re: A. Jamison what's his status ?
Sounds like he is doing just fine.
I think most players want to think higher than where their team record will be , but I get the feeling that Flip S. has alot to do with the mind set as well.
Jamison with his age is right at 1-2 good solid years left. So after last year , I 'd think he is got some mustard boiling in his veins with that new contract.

Re: A. Jamison what's his status ?
Yeah, well that's expected with every new season, especially one when your star player is set to make a valiant return and you got a coach with a hell of a reputation and two great new guys (foye and miller) to add to make a pretty damn good ballclub. I think Jamison will try his best as he does every year. If he does get traded, it will be a sad day in DC, he's done a lot for us, but hey, it it brings in Amare Stoudemire or a player of his caliber...I gotta take it with open arms.

text: I've seen videos of dogs riding skateboards and I really want to teach Wylie this trick. I think we are ready for this challenge. Have any of you guys taught this trick? I plan to first teach Wylie to put two paws on the skateboard, then four paws. Once he is comfortable standing on the skateboard I will move it for him, to get him comfortable with the movement of the board. Then I will some how teach him to move the board himself, while he is on it. Does this sound alright?

One of the most unique and beautiful things about Bangkok is the fact that it's located on the banks of the river Chao Phraya. This means the city gets a natural and efficient transport system with well managed waterways.
To the visitor, this also translates into magnificent views and romantic dining options by the riverfront.
Even if you are short on time, exploring Bangkok in a day doesn't seem like a crazy idea thanks to the Chao Phraya Express Boat service that offers unlimited hop-on-hop-off rides across the tourist belt for just 150 Bahts (~Rs.300 / $5), along with a nifty pocket guidebook and a guided audio tour.
i spent an evening exploring the tastefully done Yodpiman River Walk, since i didn't have enough time on my last trip – but it's very easily possible to cover key attractions like Wat Arun, The Royal Temple, Royal Barges National Museum and shopping + leisure zones like Yodpiman, River City and Asiatique in the most uniquely Thai way of exploring Bangkok.
Chao Phraya Express Boat Timings:
Weekdays: 6 am – 8 pm
Weekends: 6 am – 7 pm

In business, as the owner, it is your responsibility to make sure that your employees are safe in their working environment. There are many methods in which you can do this, but when it comes to communicating workplace safety, you can start by educating your employees on the correct business procedures for emergencies that arise. But when it comes to the health and safety aspects of your employees in a physical working environment, there are some fundamentals that you need to know and your employees need to know. While many large businesses have their own safety officers, many small businesses cannot afford this luxury. So in the case of an emergency, here are some things that it is worth communicating for the benefit of everyone.
The most common workplace emergency is a fire, so you need to communicate to your staff the right escape procedures. Explain the best way to exit the building, where the exits are closest as well where alternative exits are located. Delegating duties to one or two members of staff that can perform tasks in case of an emergency, such as announcing an evacuation or getting a head count outside at the meeting place after the evacuation, are important tasks to keeping your employees safe during these difficult times.
If there is a very real threat to life in the workplace due to a fire, there are basic steps that you can help yourself to cope in this situation, such as creating a barrier between you and the fire by heading into a room that is unaffected by the fire, and shutting the door while also putting a wet cloth in the gap of the door to help seal the smoke out. So you can wait safely until the emergency services arrive.
The old notion of prevention being better than cure is one that applies to workplace emergencies. So by implementing the right systems and technology will work in your favor, such as finding the best emergency communication system for you, which can help identify potential threats and the best practices your business can implement in case of an emergency. These emergency communication system suppliers can also help to provide round-the-clock support when it comes to messaging the right people in a quick fashion, as well as providing information on the best methods to protect your data.
While you can make sure your business is covered with all manner of systems, overall the best practice you can implement as a business leader, is to ensure that each and every staff member is resilient, resourceful, and is knowledgeable in every security measure. This could be communicated by e-learning packages or by having a security expert communicating potential risks to a business, so that the message is put across firmly.
It pays for staff to be aware of the consequences of human error and by identifying suspicious activity in the workplace, whether it is from colleagues or complete strangers.
Being on your guard is an important method to ensuring a business that is secure overall.
