In a recent interview with Fuse's Alexa Chung, Game revealed he has an interesting nickname for Chris Brown, who contributes to the LA rapper's new album, Jesus Piece. "We always joke with Chris Brown," he says. "During the day, he's Chris Brown but after midnight he's Chris-Pac. He gets real wild and he's drinking and acting wild and dancing around the studio."
Brown isn't the only wild aspect of Jesus Piece. The album's cover, which shows Christ wearing a bandanna, bandit style, has raised a few eyebrows too. "I wanted to put a black Jesus on the cover," Game says. "I put a rag around his mouth because nobody's ever seen Jesus. Have you seen Jesus? [Alexa shakes head no]. I put a rag over his face just to cover his face."
The Compton native also discussed the record's themes. "It's a strict concept album," he says. "For the last few years, I've been trying to balance life, love, family, religion, music and the streets."

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and three other opposition members of parliament met with the Indonesian ambassador in Kuala Lumpur today to discuss ways to combat the haze caused by fires raging in Sumatra.
Lim said he told Ambassador Herman Prayitno at the meeting that the first thing to do was to identify and punish the companies responsible for the burning, no matter where the companies are from.
"(It)Does not matter if the companies belong to Indonesia or Malaysia or any other country. But, if they are from here, we are going to suggest to the Malaysian government to get the companies to pay compensation to Malaysians and also to the Indonesians who were badly affected by the haze," Lim told reporters after the meeting.

He said that during the hour-long discussion they also suggested that Indonesia immediately ratify The Asean Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution so the problem of open burning can be handled together.
Lim said he was told that the agreement was only recently brought up for discussion in the Indonesian parliament.
"We hope that with the agreement, we can come up with a better solution on how to tackle the haze issue. We do not want this to become an annual problem," he said.
Lim also said that Minister of Environment Datuk Seri G. Palanivel's scheduled visit on Wednesday to meet Indonesian ministers was a bit too late.
"Singapore sent a representative last week while we are only sending a representative there on Wednesday," said Lim.
He was accompanied by Klang MP Charles Santiago, Seremban MP Anthony Loke and Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching from Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Johor respectively. All three states are affected by the haze. - June 24, 2013.

KELVIN WILSON last night dedicated his title triumph to murdered mate Liam Munn.
As the final whistle sounded at Rugby Park to give Celtic their cherished championship, the defender was mobbed by the team-mates who have become his pals since moving north.
But after every pat on the back and word of congratulation, Wilson looked to the sky and thought of the boy who couldn't share in his glory.
It's three years since Wilson lost his childhood friend and it still hurts.
Munn, aged just 19, was left to die in the street after a fracas outside a Nottingham nightclub in 2009.
In a tragic twist, he played for an amateur football team that was formed to stop gang rivalries and thuggery blighting the city.
Ten days after his death, a letter arrived at his home confirming Munn had been accepted for Bisham Abbey football academy.
Cruelly, Munn never got his chance to shine but Wilson makes sure he shares every bit of success he gets with his never-forgotten mate's family.
As the Celtic team partied on the pitch, Wilson was thinking of his pal and said: "Without a doubt I will dedicate it to my friend.
"He was a massive football fan and always came to see me when he wasn't playing himself. He wasn't a professional but he loved the game. He was only a young boy when he was murdered so he is always in my thoughts.
"It gives me goose pimples thinking about it just now. I keep in touch with his family and spoke to his dad the other day when I went back down south."
For Wilson, the championship was a special triumph after a troublesome first season. His encouraging start was halted dramatically at Ibrox when Celtic crashed to a 4-2 loss. Ragdolled by Nikica Jelavic, the stopper had his doubters within the support.
Before he had the chance to make amends injury struck and an operation kept him out until late December.
Again, just as Wilson was beginning to make inroads with the fans, a nervy display in the League Cup Final
culminated in him losing striker Dieter van Tornhout for Kilmarnock's winner as Celtic's Treble dream bit the dust.
But with Thomas Rogne crocked, the Englishman was back for the title party in Ayrshire on Saturday and finally able to savour the good times.
Wilson said: "This is definitely why I came here and it is one of the best moments of my career.
"I'm delighted to pick up a trophy in my first season and we are still in the Scottish Cup so hopefully there is more to come.
"Before the game the gaffer actually said to me, 'This is why you came to Celtic, Kelvin.'
"It wasn't just a private word with me, it was said out loud in front of all the boys. It was just a reminder and it worked. I'm delighted to be part of an occasion like this."
Rangers' 10-point deduction after administration helped Celtic win the title before the SPL split. But Wilson is adamant the problems at Ibrox played no part in the destination of the trophy.
Lennon's team had already overhauled a 15-point deficit to lead by four when Duff and Phelps moved in across the city and Wilson is adamant the title win is not tempered by Rangers' plight. He said: "Not one little bit. It has never crossed anyone's mind here.
"We are the best team in Scotland and have won the league.
"A lot of teams have a dip in form during a season and we had a huge dip when we went 15 points behind.
"But we showed our character by coming back and being this amount of points clear. Even with the 10-point deduction we are still well ahead."
Celtic are now looking for a sustained period of domination and stability. With Kris Commons and Glenn Loovens the oldest Parkhead players on show at Rugby Park at 28, a prosperous future looks assured.
Wilson said: "We have a young team so if we can all be kept together – and I don't see any reason why not – we are capable of good things.
"A day like this will open a lot of people's eyes, especially the lads in their first season here. It will make them want more."

Top 10 Things Every Adventure Seeker Needs
10. Journal and Pen
What's an adventure without a captain's log? Bring along a small notebook and accompanying pen and wind down by channeling your inner Thoreau on the trail. The paper may also come in handy if you need to start a fire.
9. Flashlight
You won't need a giant flashlight powered by 10 D batteries but you will certainly need some source of light, especially if it's a new moon and you're caught in the middle of the woods. Try to invest in a hybrid solar powered/battery operated pocket flash light. Let it hang from your pack as you walk to charge it and you'll be ready when the sun goes down.
8. Duct Tape
Is there anything it can't do? Duct tape is an adventure seeker's staple. It can literally be the one thing that saves your trip from complete ruin. Use it to patch up your tent, sleeping bag, shoes, and clothes. Or, if you're a true outdoorsmen, use it to fashion some snare traps. It takes up little space and has a thousand uses, so pick up a roll.
7. First Aid Kit
This one is pretty obvious and yet so many people hit the trail without one. There's no need for a giant box with enough supplies for a small village. Hiking stores sell tiny kits that have just what you need for any cuts, burns, or strange rashes that you may pick up along the way.
6. Water Bottle with Filter
Coming across a water source may not be an issue but finding clean water will be. Invest in a water bottle that has a built-in filter. Like the one that sits in your fridge, this filter will last for up to 3 months. This simple bottle will be the difference between a great trip and a trip to the emergency room due to severe stomach pain. Trust us on this one.
5. Compass
Many phones are now equipped with a built-in compass but there's nothing like using a real one. While you may not have need for it, a compass is a small, space-savvy piece of equipment that will provide you extra comfort in knowing you can make it back to civilization should things go awry.
4. The Right Shoes/Boots
Hiking like an adventurer means hours and hours on your feet, enduring the elements, and whatever the trail has to throw at you. If your feet give out, the trip is over. Spend the extra money and invest in a proven and well-trusted brand of trail shoes or boots. Match the footwear to the type of trip you'll be taking and avoid wearing Uggs.
3. Sleeping Bag
When it comes time to turn in, the quality of your sleeping bag will make or break your outlook on the trip. Choose a bag based on the season. You don't want to be sporting a summer bag while hiking the Appalachian Trail in November.
2. A Great, Not Good, Pack
This is where the bulk of your money should be going. A pack is not just a pack. You can spend days trying to find the right one. Whether your trail hiking or backpacking through Europe, the number one thing to look for in a pack is hip straps. Buy a bag with very well padded hip straps. This will take the stress off your shoulders and help to avoid strain and pain.
1. Survival Strap
What could be more convenient than a long length of military grade paracord that has dozens of uses for the trail rolled up into a comfortable bracelet? A Survival Strap bracelet is for the true outdoorsmen. Unravel it to set traps, repair tents, make a fishing line, and stop bleeding. Check out the real life stories of how adventure seekers have used the Survival Straps to save themselves and their trip!

(BLOOMINGTON) - The Bloomington Police were called to IU Health Bloomington Hospital Monday night after a report of a sexual assault.
According to Bloomington Police Sgt. Joe Crider, a 21-year-old female reported she had left a downtown bar around 2 a.m. on Saturday and went to her apartment on the east side of town.
At about 4 a.m. she told police she awoke to find a man engaged in non-consensual sex with her.
The woman told police she knew the 22-year-old male that had assaulted her and that the two had exchanged text messages earlier on Saturday.
The woman told police she believes she may have been drugged because she does not remember anything about the events that happened after her first drink until about 4 a.m. Saturday.
Crider says the woman underwent a sexual assault examination Monday and the case remains under investigation.

A New York police detective shot and killed an unarmed man, whose hands, a witness said, were on the steering wheel of his Honda, after he had been pulled over early Thursday for cutting off two police trucks on the Grand Central Parkway in Queens, the authorities said.
The shooting, which occurred at 5:15 a.m., was the latest in a series of episodes in which police officers fatally shot or wounded civilians. While the Police Department had explanations in the other instances, it could not immediately provide one for the shooting on Thursday.
The detective, Hassan Hamdy, 39, a 14-year veteran assigned to the Emergency Service Unit, fired one bullet through an open window of the car, which his squad had just pulled over with the help of a second police vehicle. The bullet struck the driver, Noel Polanco, 22, in the abdomen. He was declared dead less than an hour later at New York Hospital Queens.

text: SOUTH BEND Kari Tuttle dances in a small circle with her son. Their dance floor is only four feet in diameter. "That's as far as we can go," she said. That's because Aaron's ventilator tubes are four feet long. It is a small circle filled with love and hope, though. Aaron was prematurely born on Oct. 7, 2004. Those 25 weeks of development weren't enough to give him a good, strong start in life. The 18-month-old remains on a ventilator, which provides oxygen his small lungs need. Rusty and Kari Tuttle's world has changed radically since Aaron was born. "When I first saw him in the neonatal intensive care unit, I knew we were in for a long haul," Rusty said. Aaron remained in the hospital for over eight months. He came home on June 17. Slowly, he continues to make progress. "It's been a steady, uphill climb. He makes a little more improvement every week," Rusty said. Aaron is currently working on learning crawling motions with his physical therapist. "He is so unique," Rusty explained. "He is all go, go, go. He is so happy. Aaron is our bundle of joy. When a toy has his attention, he smiles at you to let you know." Rusty has been staying home to care for his son. The rewards are great, he said. The challenges are many. "Caring for Aaron is a full-time job, he said. Rusty coordinates visits by the physical, occupational and speech therapists who frequently visit the family's South Bend home on the west side. For this father, fulfilling the role of caregiver wasn't too overwhelming from the beginning. "From day one, I seemed to be a natural at picking up Aaron. He weighed one and a half pounds and was 12 inches long," Rusty said. Rusty's role has expanded to being a patient advocate for his son. Currently, the family pays $1,500 per month for medical insurance. Doctors are urging the family to have a second (back-up) ventilator, or run the risk of having their son placed in a state medical institution. There are few funding options for the second ventilator. So, Rusty has hired an attorney and has contacted legislators about the need for healthcare reform laws and to address this issue. Kari is now the family's predominant bread winner. Until she gave birth to Aaron, she had never known anyone who had delivered a premature infant. "As a mother, I now wonder what I may have done differently if I would have known the signs of pre-term labor. I try not dwell on it, because I believe God has put me here in this place for a special reason," Kari said.

Leg Levelers and Cabinet Construction
Forum Responses
From the original questioner:
Okay, I see how it goes now. On face frame cabs, I make the deck flush with the top of the bottom run of face frame. So if I were to use these, I assume I would have to block down 1 1/4" (2" face frame - 3/4" deck) to make it come flush with the bottom edge of the side panel. Is this correct?
From contributor F:
No blocking should be necessary if you flush the end panels with the deck. On end of run cabinets, you'll have to move the outer levelers inwards - away from the outer edge of the cabinet - so that you can run the finished panel down to the floor. You'll soon be enjoying getting six instead of four end panels out of one sheet of ply.
From contributor J:
Thanks for bringing this up. I've been thinking about using levelers for a while too. I had a slightly different idea.
Contributor F, have you ever used a cleat along the wall to set the back of your boxes on and then use levelers in front? It would seem to me this would be a great way to keep everything on plane, assuming you level things front to back. I haven't tried it (yet).
From contributor M:
Why not just attach to the wall and make a box on the bottom and then just level the box and then place the cabinets on top? A lot easier than leveling one cabinet at a time. If you only have a few cabinets, this wouldn't save much time, but would save lumber.
From contributor J:
Thanks. I've done it that way before and it is fairly easy. Toe kicks work out nicely too. My trouble is I've never taken the time to refine my process making them that way. Consequently, I still only get five sides and a big piece of scrap out of one sheet. Old habits die hard... I still build an occasional island with a separate base. The reason I'm interested in these levelers combined with a wall cleat is because of irregularities in concrete slab floors. It would seem to me that this method would make uneven floors a non-issue.
From contributor F:
Contributor J, that's not a bad idea! Charlie Karp mentioned it previously in the Blum Pearls for 32mm cabinetry. The only shortcoming is you would have to notch out the side panels to accommodate the ledger board. Although you could save yourself an extra two leveling feet, you'd need to mount some extra blocking to match the thickness of the leveling feet sockets on the front so that you could slide the cabinets around without damaging them.
From contributor J:
I'd considered resting the sides directly on the ledger without notching them. I figure if you built the box 31 1/4" tall and screwed the ledger to the wall with its top 4" off the finished floor, you could sit the box right on top of the ledger and everything would come out right. I would sleep better with the lower portion of the box either attached to the ledger or to a stud rather than just resting on the ledger. I use 1/2" backs which would be stout enough to hold a screw driven into a stud (using the screws on the ledger as a guide).
By the way, I build framed cabinets using 2" rails and set my decks 1/8" below the top of the lower rail. That would create a 5 1/8" space under the cabinet for me to stick my big fat arms into to drive those screws. Next, set the front with the levelers and move on. Does this sound plausible to you? I've been too chicken to try it out to see how it works.
From contributor F:
Resting the rear of the cabinet on top of the ledger would be easier than notching out the sides higher up. There's at least one guy on this forum who uses the combination of the rear bottom ledger with front levelers. As long as your end panels are flush with the bottom of the deck, the leg levelers will work. Are you trying to subsequently screw through the ledger into the cabinet? That sounds like much more work than screwing through the 1/2" cabinet back into a stud. I'm sticking to using all four levelers front and back and using six levelers on anything wider than 30" as recommended by True32, as I'd rather not have to stock extra ledger material - just one more thing for me to forget!
From contributor J:
No, I wasn't suggesting screwing through the ledger into the cabinet. As to the other point: My side panels would extend approximately 1 1/8" below the bottom of the deck (even with the bottom of the face frame). I should be able to buy levelers and sockets that would work in that configuration, right? Thanks.
From contributor F:
You could use the levelers that way but you would sacrifice the support that they offer your side panels and the vertical force of your countertops would end up resting on whatever fastener you're using to fasten the side panel to the deck. Do you really need to flush the end panels to the bottom of the face frame if it's not an exposed end? By the way, if you screw a plywood stretcher across the top of the back of the cabinet, you'd be able to screw through that into the studs.
From the original questioner:
That's what I was talking about needing to block down from the deck. It's necessary to do so, I think, in order to keep the pressure off of the side/deck joint. As for just making the side panels shorter, I had thought about that - that would make the face frame protrude below the sides, so the box would sit uneven until you put the levelers on. It might not be a big deal, but just a thought.
From contributor B:
I am considering the levelers on kitchen cabinets as well, so your discussion is great. I use them in most garage applications, but I don't use a toe kick. How are you attaching the toe kick to the cabinets when you use the levelers? I would want a solid application, not the flimsy, removable panels.
From contributor F:
To the original questioner: After spending all that time building, finishing and installing the face frame, I can understand why you would want to protect your investment! Nevertheless, you could install the socket and legs prior to assembly to obviate the need for blocking, which seems like an extra unnecessary pain. I don't see what the problem with short end panels is as long as they're adjoining one another.
Contributor B, don't think *flimsy*, think *access* and market it accordingly! If you want a more solid feel to them, you can always shoot a couple of nails at an angle from underneath into the legs.

Neurobiological Theories of Dreaming
Activation-synthesis hyopthesis
Reverse learning
- Created by: Marie
- Created on: 26-05-09 16:10
Theory 1: ACTIVATION-SYNTHESIS HYPOTHESIS
A01: There is random electrical activity during sleep: this is experiences as a dream. Dreams have no intrinsic meaning - meaningfulness is not what drives the dream.
A02: Supported by... PET scans showing that the brainstem is active during REM sleep (supporting the activity part of the model), and that the prefrontal cortex is inactive during REM sleep (supporting the synthesis part of the model) (BRAUN et al., 1997)
- The brainstem generates spontaneous random signals during REM sleep.
- The boyd is paralysed so there is no other sensory input or motor output.
- For the cortex, these signals are indistinguishable from the internal and external stimuli that are usually process.
A01: Synthesis
- When activity arising from the brainstem is mixed with stored images from memory, the brain attempts to 'interpret' these, often resulting in bizarre images which we experience as dreams.
A01: Challenging evidence
- SOLMS (2000) found that in patients with damage to the brainstem, REM activity ceased but dreaming continued, suggesting that REM activity and dreaming may be independent.
- Some studies have found that many dreams are coherent and consistent over time (DOMHOFF, 1996)
A02: An alternative explanation is...
The AIM Model, (HOBSON, 1992), which includes activation of the brain, external or internal inputs and modulators. Waking, REM and NREM states vary in levels of A, I and M.
Theory 2: REVERSE LEARNING
A01: The brain requires memory consolidation to use space more efficiently. Consolidation takes place during sleep, and the associated electrical activity is experienced as a dream.
A02: Research Support
- GOERTZL (1997) - even allowing for compression of information, the brain takes in far more than it can store.
- Mammals without REM sleep have a disproportionately large cortex to compensate for the extra storage capacity needed. (MUKHAMETOV, 1987)
A01: Reverse learning
- This makes important memories more accessible, and makes storage in neural networks more compact, without the memory overlap caused by unwanted associations.
- This is adaptive because we can have smaller, more efficient brains.
A01: Neurobiological mechanism
Random stimulation of the forebrain by the brainstem excites neurons corresponding to the unwanted associations. Their synapses are modified to make future activation less likely.
A02: Challenging evidence
- Brains of mammals that lack sleep have cortexes that are not as highly folded as human cortexes so may not have a much larger capacity.
- CHRISTOS (1996) found that computer simulations of reverse learning have shown that the number of parasitic memories is increased not decreased.
Main Problem: No One neurological activity is equivalent to the state of dreaming.

Hannah Robinson gets a huge surprise when she is getting ready to attend a party with her boyfriend, Patrick. Patrick informs Hannah that he can no longer pretend to love her. He has found someone else. Hannah's life starts to crumble. She was suppose to open a bakery called Cupcakes on the Corner but without Patrick in her life, she just wants to stay in her home and not leave. Hannah's good friend, Adam convinces Hannah to open her shop and give it at least seven months before she gives up. Hannah becomes a bit distracted that she does not even notice when a handsome customer starts flirting with her. Oh, what is a woman to do!
To be honest, I personally could not get into this book. I did give it several tries. While, I did think this was a nice read, I just could not connect with the characters. I found them to be a little too into every one else's business and I especially wanted to shake Hannah and tell her to forget Patrick, she deserved better and move on. Instead, she seemed lost without him and kept pining over him, until about the last half of the book. This is when she did realize that she deserved better and in fact there was someone else that was interested in her. Though, I did like Adam. He was a sweetie and the best friend that anyone could ask for. While this book did not hit my sweet tooth, I would be willing to give author, Roisin Meaney another chance in the future.

It's the first day of summer, and most kids have been out of school long enough to have some expectations of their summer break. (The first three or four days are spent in a happy meta-cognitive haze of constant self-reminders of what they would be doing right this moment if they were at school.) For many folks, summer is the only workable time for the great family vacation, which is often just slightly less stressful for parents than a tax audit. Remember, once you're back from visiting the world's largest ball of string, you may need to take a little break, relax, and unwind. I just read a great post by Adrian Savage over at lifehack.org. He describes some guidelines for a personal stress detox program. Here are a few examples…
Get plenty of sleep. Most people are chronically sleep-deprived. Make sure you can have 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep at might. Maybe throw in a few siestas as well.
Accept how things are. Don't try to imagine the perfect vacation. Don't judge it against any preset ideas, or against past vacations, or against other people's ideas of how it should be. Just accept whatever comes.
Don't watch TV. None. If you want to watch a film, make sure it's the kind you get on a special channel, not one on a regular network. Let the world look after itself. No checking up on the stockmarket either.
Going on a vacation can be so stressful. I know that seems silly, but how often have you been stressed out of your mind getting ready for a vacation, and can't wait to get home once you're there? Check out these suggestions before you drive the RV off the edge of the Grand Canyon. Relax and have fun.

Microsoft will pay Novell USD 348 million up front, but Novell will return USD 200 million of that amount over five years. The specific numbers came in an a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by Novell late Tuesday. "The financial commitments Microsoft is making as part of this agreement are significant," company CEO Ron Hovsepian said in a statement. In related news, Microsoft has denied that its patent deal with Novell is in breach of the GPL or will automatically spread Microsoft's patent protection to other Linux distributions.

I think Ms has a hard time compeeting with linux now because linux companies fight on a different level, they want to bring them in their ring on teir playfield and Novell is just a means to a goal. Pay some money loose a battle, win the game, MS has a long breath and can easy plan 5 turns ahead.

Soulmatefood Perfect Cleanse | £195*
Juice cleansing is no longer just a fad. What began as a celebrity craze has trickled slowly down into the daily routines of a huge volume of people. I read on The Guardian that Lakeland reported a 4000% increase in the sales of juicers. The health benefits of juicing are undeniable. I'm not talking your average apple or orange juice though obviously - think more along the lines of spinach, broccoli and kale, perhaps with a hint of lemon or ginger to add an extra kick to the flavour.
After months of consuming endless amounts of junk, I finally decided that enough was enough and began the hunt on a cleanse that would give me a shove in the right direction and help to kick start a much healthier lifestyle.
I stumbled across Soulmatefood and they seemed like the perfect fit as not only do they offer a standard fruit cleanse, which is available as a slightly easier alternative for beginners, they offer the Perfect Cleanse. Although I was a complete novice to juicing, I chose the Soulmatefood Perfect Cleanse because it is hydrostatic and therefore loose no nutritional value during the process of breaking down the vegetables into juices. Also, I may have a sweet tooth but I'm not sure I could have coped with three days of sweet juice.
I decided a weekend where I knew I could spend a lot of the time indoors working, rather than a weekday where I would be mainly out of the house, would be best so I began my cleanse on a Friday through to the Monday. I'd definitely advise this as the last thing you want to be doing is lugging around bottles of juice all day.
The first day was a bit of a shock to say the least. Never before has vegetable juice touched my lips so to have nothing but that, while finding some of the flavours a little overwhelming, was certainly a challenge. I also had a party to go to and being stuck drinking water wasn't ideal but it wasn't as torturous as expected either. The second day was the worst day for me. I began to get ill with a cold so any benefits I may have seen myself reaping were overpowered. Surprisingly I never felt hungry throughout besides a slight pang towards the middle of my third day.
I wish I was in the position to reveal wonderful feelings of energy and health but becoming ill during my Soulmatefood cleanse masked the health kick I was expecting. However, the cleanse has done what I set out for it to do. It shifted a few pounds and retrained my eating habits so I have less desire to eat junk and I'm enjoying vegetables and fruit more than ever before.
At £195, the Soulmatefood cleanse is expensive but the ease of not having to buy, measure and juice your own ingredients makes it worth it. Would I do it again? Definitely. In fact, I'm intending to juice one day a week from now on and would highly recommend doing so to everyone.

text: Ever since i've switched to Verizon on Iphone 5 launch day coming from ATT since the first iPhone (i've had every version of the phone on att as well) time to time i hear a random tone, like someone on the other end i'm speaking with hit a digit on the keypad. I ask if the person on the other end heard that, they say no, it just went silent for a second and they didn't hit a number on the keypad, most of the of the time they're on a landline. It could be 20 minutes into a call or hour +, totally random. Verizon has reset the network connection, i've changed phones, reset the phone, etc, still happening. ANYONE else having this issue? It's a deal breaker for me, att never did this, unless it's the 5, but i doubt it. All verizon can offer is dialing ###send after the call and they can check the towers down the line, seems like hot air to me. Not impressed, now facing a Early Termination Fee if i leave now. I already tried to get used to the no surf and talk while on data and the annoying "multiple calls" thing when you get another call while being on one, it says multiple, if you hang up with one, the other goes away and rings you back, beyond weird, i realize this is a CDMA thing along w/ super slow 3g when LTE is not avail. Anyone else have these issues on verizon? Here's the only other link i can find about it below, thank you. https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/903012

Sept. 4, 2014 - The Women's Water Polo played host to the Comets of Palomar College in their season and home opener. The Olympians were the dominate force in the first of two match-ups this season ending the game with a sound 8-3 victory. This victory wasn't just about a win though, it was about the depth of a team and how they created the win.
Mesa freshman goalie Maddie Atkins was lights out for the Olympians taking away 17 potential goals by Palomar while fellow freshman Savannah Phillips put away four goals. More scoring came from the freshmen crew of Audrey Riggs, Abby Johnson and Jaicy Tyler who each notched a goal. Sophomore Lissette Salazar also put away a goal while fellow classman, Alyssa Seaux stole three balls from the Comets to match the three assists by freshman Cassie Bernas. Defensively, the Olympians were equally strong as they shut down Palomar on all three of their power plays and only gave up three goals in four quarters of play. The blue and gold demonstrated the depth of their team as all 20 members of their squad saw playing time and had a chance to contribute to their first win on the season. According to Assistant Coach Kirsten Rich, the strength of the game came from the entire team's ability to have good movement as a team, having good passing, and being able to recognize their different options of play.
The Women's team will now have time to refine their skills and prepare for another conference match up with Miramar College on Sept. 10 at Miramar at 2pm.

It's tempting to say this has been a bad PR year for the Kennedys. But can anyone remember the last time they had a good one? A wire story carried Sunday in the Sentinel and probably dozens of other newspapers across America recounted the various tribulations and peccadilloes that keep the Kennedys at the top of the tabloid compost heap.
And that story didn't even include the latest collection of unproven filth and shameless speculation. No, I am not referring to The Last Brother, a biography of Edward Kennedy that author Joe McGinniss admits he partly made up. That's old news.

In an effort to provide better customer service, we are offering a new option for retailers to receive notifications of pending payment defaults via email. As you know, when a retail licensee fails to pay for goods sold and delivered by the final payment date, a wholesaler is required to notify the New York State Liquor Authority ("SLA"). If payment is not received by the notification date set by statute, the retail licensee is placed on a delinquent list and cannot be given credit by any wholesaler until it is removed from the list.
Many retailers have complained that they find themselves on the list when they did not know that they had failed to make timely payment. In order to help address this, the SLA recently authorized retail licensees who wish to obtain notices of pending payment defaults by email rather than first-class mail. Empire Merchants is participating in this program.

The New England Patriots reached the Super Bowl qualifying for the playoffs with a 12-4 record in the regular season then defeated the Baltimore Ravens 35-31 in the Divisional round and the Indianapolic Colts 45-7 in the Championship. They won three Super Bowl, the last one exactly 10 years ago.
The Seattle Seahawks reached the Super Bowl qualifying for the playoffs with a 12-4 record in the regular season then defeated the Carolina Panthers 31-17 in the Divisional round and the Green Bay Packers 28-22 in Overtime in the Championship. They're the defending champions.
The New England Patriots receive the kick-off but are quickly forced to punt. The Seahawks, however, can't do any better with their offense and after three down they too have to punt. The Patriots gain yards and arrive in the red zone but a pass in the end zone is intercepted by Jeremy Lane. But the player gets injured in the course of the action and must leave the field. The first quarter ends 0-0.
At the beginning of the second quarter the Seattle Seahawks are unable to take advantage of the interception and are forced to punt. The Patriots gain yards again until they score a touchdown with a reception by Brandon LaFell and the convertion gives New England a 7-0 lead. Seattle's offense still can't work and the punter is to enter again after only 3 downs. This time the Patriots' offense can't gain enough yards and New England is forced to punt too. Finally, the Seahawks' offense starts working and with a 44 yard reception by Chris Matthews they reach the red zone. Marshawn Lynch scores the touchdown with a 3 yard run and the conversion ties the score at 7-7. In the last two minutes, the Patriots put together a good offense and score a touchdown with a pass to Rob Gronkowski that after the conversion gives New England a new lead at 14-7. The Seahawks have only 31 seconds before halftime but gain yards quickly and score a touchdown with a pass to Chris Matthews that with the convertion ends the second quarter at 14-14.
The third quarter starts well for the Seattle Seahawks thanks to a 45-yard reception by Chris Matthews. In the red zone they can't convert a third down and score a field goal that gives them their first lead at 17-14. The New England Patriots are trying to answer but a pass by Tom Brady is intercepted by Bobby Wagner. The Seahawks take advantage of it and in a few plays score a touchdown with a short pass to Doug Baldwin that after conversion increase their lead at 24-14. The Patriots' offense doesn't seem to work anymore and their new drive ends quickly with a punt. The Patriots' defense keeps them in the game stopping the Seahawks' offense, forced to punt too. The third quarter ends with the Seahawks leading 24-14.
The fourth quarter began with another punt by the New England Patriots. The Seattle Seahawks' offense seems to have stopped because they're also forced to another quick punt. The Patriots' offense awakens, resume gaining yards and score a touchdown with a pass to Danny Amendola that brings them closer in the score at 24-21. The Seahawks's offense no longer works and they're forced once again to a punt quickly. The Patriots instead are playing well again and score another touchdown with a pass to Julian Edelman that gives them a new lead at 28-24. The Seahawks try their last offense and arrive in the red zone but thanks to a reception by Jermaine Kearse, who catches the football after it bounces on his legs. An interception by Malcolm Butler gives the New England Patriots victory in this Super Bowl XLIX with a 28-14 score.
The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl a year ago with a great defense and making no serious mistakes with their offense. Instead, tonight came a bad mistake at the end, an interception on a bad pass attempt by Russell Wilson. But it would be trivial to reduce the Seahawks' performance to that mistake, which arrived at the end of the fourth quarter, in which their offense never scored while their opponents scored two touchdowns. They'll try again but in these playoffs their offense had too many ups and down and not always a great defense is enough to win.
The New England Patriots win a Super Bowl again after the two bitter losses to the New York Giants in recent years and after the last few days spent talking more about the "deflategate". They were tough defeats, also because Tom Brady (photo ©Jeffrey Beall) isn't very young, but now the Patriots' quarterback, named Super Bowl XLIX MVP, made even more history winning four Super Bowls. He also set a record with 13 touchdown passes in the Super Bowl played and another with 37 completed passes in a single Super Bowl. It's difficult to say how many chances he can still have to win but tonight Brady once again proved he's a champion.

Ran across this study done by Kira Newman. She tracked her moods for a month using an alarm each hour. In her report there are comparisons, correlations and good insights. I commend Kira for the work she has done which has great detail. Her insight that her stories effect her happiness is an important one.
When it comes to the "science" of Quantified Self we should continue to improve our rigor, and we should not be afraid to try new things. I found myself very rusty on statistics and had to go back to the basics just to understand how to get a correlation out of an excel spreadsheet. It was painful, and after some hours on Khan Academy I got myself back in the game a bit. And I am having a lot of fun.
Thanks for the inspiration Kira and on we go!

rd 3 gm 3; buffalo @ ottawa; may 14, 2007
The Balance in the Bank:
Final Score: Ottawa wins 1-0 (Ottawa leads series 3-0)
Ottawa Goals: Alfredsson (GW)
Making Sens: Alfredsson, Volchenkov, Redden
Lacking Sens: Neil
It was over when: The Alfie goal, combined with our domination up until that point, would be enough for a team on a mission like this
It was definitely over when: Back to back penalties in the third period for Buffalo spelled the end – we weren't going to let them tie this one up.
Message in a Molson bottle: The most dominating performance to date from the boys, this was wasn't nearly as close as the 1-0 score. We outshot them 32-15 in a must-win game for Buffalo, and held them to 0-for-6 on the PP with one shot total. Those numbers tell the story – this was a one-sided affair that started from Emery and covered just about everybody on out. I sound like a broken record, but you have to lose before you can win and this team knows how bad it wants to win right now. Bias aside, no team has walked through their opponents in recent memory like we are right now. Finish the job, boys!

Grab a Timmy's double double and listen to what really happened:
Optimistic Ophelia
You have to be lucky to be good, but more importantly you have to be good to be lucky. Some will say it was a lucky bounce that got us the goal tonight, and I'm telling you and all your friends that it was the hard work of the top line that led to that goal. I repeat, you have to be good to be lucky. We are getting the bounces and the opportunities because we are manufacturing them behind the curtain. That goal was a result of an absolutely amazing outlet play from our zone, some great passing through the neutral zone, and a result of the players knowing where to go on the rush. Brilliant goal from a brilliant line, now 1-2-3 in playoff scoring. Trade who?
Pessimistic Patty
Hard to point anything out right now, but Chris Neil might be in over his head right now. He hasn't brought much to this series, though I'll say that sometimes his job as our third line winger is just to control their third line. He just seems tentative to hit someone on the forecheck for fear of taking a dumb penalty or something. The stakes are higher right now and I just hope someone settles Neiler down and gets him back into his groove as the NHL hits leader. Remember that he won that?
Upbeat Ursula
What can you say about our penalty killers? We killed off six more tonight and held them to one shot. That means, mathematicians, that they had five powerplays where they didn't have a single shot. Pairings were Kelly/Vermette, Alfredsson/McAmmond, and Fisher/Schaefer and I've never been so amazed at a dominance of special teams like this. Remember last year when we kept giving up shorthanded 2-on-1s? Remember how awful it felt? Now go hug a Sabres fan, cause it has gotten that bad for them now to the point that they'd rather decline a powerplay. We had more scoring chances on their PPs than they did, including a 2-on-0 where Meszaros rang one off the post.
Debbie Downer
Nothing, just make sure you come out like the balls on Wednesday. Comparisons to last year are funny, but who wants to go back to Buffalo for game five? Attack them like a Chara on a Baton Rouge rib, like a Havlat on an injured list, like a Pothier on an overpaid contract, like a Hasek on shitlist. Let's take care of our business Wednesday.
One last note, I'm off to see Wayne Gretzky at the BMW Charity Pro-Am golf tournament in Greenville, SC on the weekend. Anybody have suggestions on clever quips to try and make the Great One laugh? Last year, when he had a 7-iron shot coming up from off the cart path, I told him that he'd put it in from trickier angles than this. He replied, "yeah, but I was a lot better on skates." That comment is only cool because Gretzky said it. Post a comment and let me know what I should try and say to him this time around.
Keys to the next game
- Don't let up
- Shore up the PP (0-for-7 tonight)
- Dominate the neutral zone again

Lame story about the Great One. Glad to see the Sens playing so hard. I swear I have hear the addage "You have to be good to be lucky" before.
Outstanding game, boys. I can't believe we were able to smother them that much, the highest scoring team in hockey, and in a must win game. I just hope they don't have to travel to Buffalo.
Ask Gretzky what Comrie was really like in the room. I'm curious if he'd be honest or if he'd give a media answer.
Within in earshot after he misses a putt, have Kimmy say,
"That shot was Messy - eh",
then reply:
"No Kimmy, it's Gretzky, Gretzky!"
By the way, but if you rewind to October, when all you Sens fans were freaking out about the state of the team, I believe an old wise White Tiger commented the Sens WILL be there in the end, and they are the only team in the East able to play with the Sabres. aaaaaaa thank-you very much.

Now with a very few exceptions we were actively working the case but we just weren't communicating well. Our SLA required updates every 4 hours to every 2 weeks depending on the case. It was one of those things we knew we needed to improve on but it never seemed to make it high enough to get more than a passing comment in a meeting.
Last month we decided to fix it. We implemented a dashboard that tracked who had the most missed SLA's and a daily email went out to alert people that they needed to update their cases.
We even went so far as requiring a 4-5 daily onsite meeting for anyone that had cases that were not meeting our stated SLA's. We are pretty "work life balanced" any many people would leave a bot early to avoid traffic and then work later in the night when their children were asleep.
When people said that they could not make the meeting, I replied with, "Well if your tickets are up to date you won't have to be there.".
Someone went so far as to call the meetings "detention". They were not wrong. That was not an accident either.
We went from over 160 missed SLA's, down to 0 in less than a week. If you want to improve in an area measure it, and make it so that people want to meet it. Just be careful to measure and track what is important.
