Basketball Play – "Heat"By Dr. James Gels, from the Coach's Clipboard Basketball Playbook... lots of great basketball stuff. Come on - join today.
This play has been used by coach Steve Fisher at San Diego State University. Start in 4-out with O5 low (diagram A), and it ends up in a 3-out, 2-in set. O1 passes to O2 and O5 moves up to the ballside elbow to set the UCLA screen for O1. O1 uses O5's UCLA screen and cuts inside. After O1 cuts through, O4 moves inside to eventually screen for O5. After the UCLA screen for O1, O5 moves out to ball-screen for O2.

O2 dribbles to the top (diagram B). O1 back-screens for O3 and O3 cuts under this screen. O3 could be open for a quick pass from O2. After O3 cuts around the screen, O1 cuts out to the arc and receives the pass from O2. There could be a 3-point shot for O1 here.
Meanwhile, O3 and O4 set a staggered double-screen inside for O5, and O5 cuts under these screens to the ballside block for the quick pass from O1. After screening, O4 flashes to the ballside elbow and could get the pass here from O1. O4 could shoot, shot-fake and dribble-drive the right side of the lane, or make the hi-lo pass inside to O5. To give O4 some spacing, Coach Fisher likes O2 to space out very high above the arc. After screening for O5, O3 moves out to the weakside wing-corner area.
Helpful DVDs:
Basketball Set Plays
There are many DVDs of set plays in the Coach's Clipboard Basketball DVD Store... too numerous to list here. Areas covered include man and zone plays, out-of-bounds plays, endline and sideline sets, and end-of-game plays. There are DVDs with special plays for motion offenses, 4-out 1-in offense, 1-4 high offense, flex offense, pick and roll offense, and others.
Special Situations & Inbounds Plays
Many more basketball DVDs at the Coach's Clipboard Basketball DVD Store In additon to many baseline and sideline out-of-bounds plays, some of the greatest basketball coaches today stress the importance of special situations that can often determine the outcomes of close games. Situations discussed include: Opening tip, free-throw situations, end of shot clock, end of half, down with under two-minutes and inbounds plays.

The first of a series of three races in the Middle East, the Dubai Tour runs from Tuesday, February 6 to Saturday, February 10, and attracts some of the world's best riders.
Stage four on Friday is the most decisive day of the race, with a climb-to-the-line to Hatta Dam.
This short, sharp ascent rises at a maximum gradient of 17 per cent – not enough to create huge time gaps, but enough to have the potential to change the general classification thanks to time bonuses.
The race, which is a 2.HC event on the UCI Asia Tour features four flat stages and a slight uphill finish to Hatta Dam on stage four and favours sprinters.
>>> Dubai Tour 2018: everything you need to know about the desert race
As usual the race has attracted a strong field of sprinters including two-time overall winner Marcel Kittel (Katusha-Alpecin), Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data), Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors), and Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates), all of whom will be hoping to make an impact on the race's flat stages and get their season into gear.

OSLO: Norwegian seasonally adjusted housing prices fell by 0.4 percent in August from July, the fourth consecutive monthly decline as the cost of buying a home continues to ease from recent record highs, a real estate industry association said on Tuesday.
On a year-on-year basis prices rose by 3.1 % in August, below 4.8 percent seen in July and down from 13 percent seen as late as February, Real Estate Norway said.
Tighter mortgage regulations, lower population growth and a boom in construction, flooding the market with new homes, have all contributed to the recent market turnaround.
Unadjusted prices rose by 1.2 percent in August from July.
The housing data was compiled by Real Estate Norway, FINN and Eiendomsverdi. (Reporting by Camilla Knudsen, editing by Terje Solsvik)

El-Erian: the divergence between the U.S. and Emerging Markets will continue for a while
This week marks the 10-year anniversary of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the unofficial start off the financial crisis. Since then we've seen central banks pump trillions into global markets and while asset prices have largely recovered, economic growth has been uneven. Mohamed El-Erian is the Chief Economic Adviser at Allianz and he joined The Final Round to talk about the current state of the markets, the global economy, and what we've learned since the crisis.

May 2011 Update: We got an unsolicited offer on our Oliver Travel Trailer that we couldn't ignore – and decided it was time to sell. Orion was our full time home on wheels from July 2008 – May 2011. Here's our Farewell to Orion post with pictures from our 3 years together.
We're now splitting our time living & traveling in an awesome vintage bus and an awesome motor yacht.
2014 update: Oliver is back in production!! They are now taking orders and delivering their 23.5′ and 19′ model (like ours was). Learn more at www.OliverTravelTrailers.com.
Other resources for tracking down Olivers:
Below is the history of how an Oliver Trailer became our home from 2008 – 2011…. Enjoy!
It was love at first sight when we first encountered an Oliver Travel Trailer. After living on the road full time for 7 months in 2007 in Chris' 2006 16' T@b Clamshell (which gave us about 50 sq ft of living space, and had no A/C, refrigerator or bathroom), we were ready to take the plunge and buy a full time nomadic home and office more suitable for two.
Our most limiting factor of the Tab was constantly having to convert between the bed and the table—so we wanted something that allowed us to keep a bed and still have an office area all of the time.
And we wanted something that still had character to it – unique and cute looking!
The Search Began in June 2007
A visit to the Casita Factory in June 2007.
We had considered other smaller RVs, such as the classic looking Airstream Bambi line and the Casita Spirit Deluxe. The more we researched fiberglass RVs, the more we were ready to go this route. (Here's our post chronicling the decision and alternatives we considered)
We were very impressed, but we had to take into consideration that we wanted a lot of customizations—such as solar panels, upgraded electrical system, more batteries, privacy windows and much more.
Casita wasn't willing to do customizations like that, so we'd be on our own to do those aftermarket. Without a workshop in which to do the work (we were already full time RVers without a homebase), this would have been quite a challenge.
Casita's Interior versus Oliver's
And then we found a new player in the fiberglass RV industry—Oliver Travel Trailers.
They had taken all that we loved about the Casita, and improved on everything. From a double hull with insulation and molded interior (instead of rivet on cabinets), double pane windows, privacy window coverings, aluminum frame, shocks, raised axle, extendable tongue, electric level jacks, gel coat finish (instead of carpeted walls), custom floors & fabrics and marine quality hardware —it was truly a step up in the fiberglass RV world.
And on top of that, they were not only willing—but excited—to do all of the customizations we wanted. (Word is that they no longer do nearly the level of customizations they used to be able to do, but doesn't hurt to ask.)
Working with Oliver Travel Trailer to build our Technomadic Home
We worked with Oliver over a period of weeks to custom spec an Oliver Legacy Elite to be our ideal home, and we quickly felt like part of the family in the process. They kept us in the loop through every step of the way, sent us baby pictures and you can read the history of our build process and customization decisions we made.
We even visited the factory during the build, and got to be involved directly and hang out with the crew engineering our new home.
Home Delivery
On July 30, 2008 we drove to Hohenwald, TN and met Orion—our fabulous new home built for two technomads. We then drove it directly to Burning Man (it did *awesome* in the dust!)
At just technically one foot longer than our Tab, the Oliver gives us so much more. We now have nearly 80 square feet of living space. A full bed (that can convert to a 4 person dinette), double dinette (that can convert to a single bed), a full bath, air conditioning, refrigerator and more. Orion is 17′ long, single axel and about 3500 lbs dry.
The major factory customizations we got on our Oliver include: 2-100w solar panels, 1500 w inverter, BlueSky solar charging system, cellular phone amplifier system, leaving off the satellite receiver and entertainment package (wanted to put in our own stuff – we currently have a Mac Mini as our media center with an Elgato EyeTV hybrid receiver), monitor swing arm with a 24″ LCD panel, LED lights and leaving off the microwave/toaster oven to gain extra storage.
Our four person dinette (that we actually keep as a full size bed most of the time with a foam topper) with our 24" Dell Ultrasharp monitor on a swing arm that allows us to position the monitor in a variety of places for movie watching and as a second monitor over the table for when we have more intensive work projects. Generally we use the side dinette as our office, friend's homes or internet cafes.
The kitchen is compact, but well laid out with lots of storage. We added suction cup bins behind the sink to hold our plates and spices so that we can utilize all of the cabinet area for food storage. There are three spacious slide out cabinet drawers under the sink that hold utensils, pots/pans and our bar.
In the front of the Oliver is a small but completely functional full wet bath behind the mirror door (which really helps open up the space). Kiki's litterbox also goes in there. We also have a closet in the front that provides lots of storage room for hanging clothes, some folded stuff and shoes. There's storage bins along the entire top of the Oliver that we use for office supplies, media, a charging center for our mobile gadgets, our server room for electronics and personal items.
And there's molded storage bins storage underneath each seat. Since we keep the bed down most of the time, we also have a small plastic drawer that Cherie uses as her closet, and store other less used stuff underneath the bed. We've really been surprised with just how much storage room there is, and keep most everything we use on a regular basis in the Oliver. A few other items are kept in the tow vehicle, such as Chris' paramotor, bulky clothes/costumes, sporting goods, outside furniture, tools, etc.
We were able to choose our own flooring, and send Oliver the exact red microfiber fabric we wanted for our cushions. We even had a friend design us our own graphics for the exterior that Oliver printed for both the trailer and Cherie's laptop.
Oliver also mades a twin bed configuration, and a couple larger 22′ models. Before they went on hiatus from making the trailers, only about 45 were made – Olivers from 2007-2009 are quite a rarity! Ours sold for more than we bought ours for.. after 3 years of full timing in it (how often does THAT happen???)
Here's a video tour of an Oliver (not ours, but one similar owned by dear friends who did their own solar conversation):

We are delighted to present a new exhibition, Patrick Brontë: In Sickness and in Health. The Brontë siblings are as famous for their deaths as they are for their novels and poetry, and tragically Patrick Brontë outlived all his children, as well as his wife. Our 2019 exhibition explores how illness, poor health and death plagued his life.
Although tragic, the Brontë deaths were unremarkable in an over-crowded village where 46% of children died before reaching
the age of six. The average life expectancy was twenty-five years, which corresponded with that of some of the unhealthiest districts of London. Patrick campaigned relentlessly for improvements to public health, but sadly, these came too late to benefit
his own family. As a minister, Patrick was expected to have an informed knowledge on how best to advise and assist those of his parishioners who couldn't afford medical treatment. His medical text books, which will be collectively on display for the first time, provide us with an insight into his determination to aid the sick and document his own fascinating discoveries.
Highlights of the exhibition include the handkerchief used by Anne Brontë and spotted with blood from her infected lungs; Patrick's medical manuals heavily annotated with his own experiences; Charlotte's pillbox, which still has pills inside; Patrick's tobacco pipe and the extensive collection of spectacles owned by the Brontë family. Thanks to a loan from Thackray Medical Museum, we will also display the type of ophthalmic instruments which would have been used to perform Patrick's cataract surgery and a laudanum bottle, similar to those bought by Branwell from the apothecary in Haworth.

Judge denies firefighter union's request to halt 'brownout' plan
A judge on Tuesday denied the Houston firefighter union's request to block the city from removing personnel, trucks and ambulances from service to balance the fire department budget.
State District Judge Elaine Palmer denied the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association's request for a temporary restraining order.
The hearing was the first in a lawsuit the union filed Tuesday against the city's so-called "rolling brownout" plan. A follow-up hearing is scheduled for March 7.
Fire union president Bryan Sky-Eagle said he was disappointed in the denial, saying he filed the order "as a preemptive strike" to protect people and firefighters. Safety is the purpose of the union's collective bargaining agreement with the city, which provides the basis for the legal action, Sky-Eagle said, arguing that the brownouts undermine the agreement's purpose.
"Once you start unilaterally making those changes, whatever the motivation may be – budgetary or political or otherwise – you start losing the intent," Sky-Eagle said before the hearing.
City Attorney David Feldman called the lawsuit "novel," and said what units are placed in service at what times is a management decision that is the city's right to make. Feldman argued the lawsuit stems from the ongoing collective bargaining talks with the union, not the brownouts.
"These issues need to be discussed at the bargaining table," Feldman said, "not at the courthouse."
More Information
Budget Cuts Mapped
For a look at an interactive map to see which city fire stations will be affected and to learn more about the woes of the Houston Fire Department, go to HoustonChronicle.com.
Feldman also disputed the claim that the planned brownouts will compromise public safety, an argument fire union attorney Michelle Bohreer rejected.
"That is absolutely contrary to Fire Chief (Terry) Garrison's statement to council just last week," she said.
HFD is on pace to exceed its $447 million budget by $10.5 million in the fiscal year that ends June 30. Most of that, $8.5 million, is due to overtime paid to firefighters to cover a staffing shortage exacerbated by a union contract that leaves Garrison unable to effectively restrict when firefighters take time off.
The first cuts came when seven ambulances were removed from service Saturday morning.

Another Connecticut hospital is at risk of being pushed out of the provider network for Anthem Blue Cross-Blue Shield.
Hartford Hospital's agreement with Anthem will expire on Oct. 31.
"Anthem has proposed increases to both hospitals that would continue to provide them with reimbursement at a margin over their costs," Anthem spokeswoman Sarah Yeager told the Hartford Courant. "Anthem is seeking an agreement with the hospitals that will allow our members access to quality health care, while trying to manage the cost of health care and rising premiums."
Bristol Hospital faces a similar problem and needs to reach an agreement on reimbursement rates by Oct. 1.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal does not intend to directly intervene in the negotiations, but is asking Anthem to keep Bristol in its network.

Columbia Basin Dive Rescue (CBDR)is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that provides water rescue and recovery services to agencies throughout a five-county area surrounding the Tri-Cities.
CBDR members are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, covering a response area of more than 4,000 square miles, including 300 miles of major river systems and countless lakes, ponds and canals. Emergency responders are assigned to duty crews to ensure that at least one full dive crew is available to respond at all times. On major missions, however, it is common for all available divers and surface support to respond. The team's response area is the largest in the state of Washington and one of the largest in the country. As an authorized agency of the Department of Emergency Management, CBDR also may be called to assist with incidents across the state.
Missions range from swimming and boating accidents to suicide attempts and underwater crime scene investigations. To prepare for the diversity of missions and to ensure proper skill level, emergency responders (divers and surface support personnel) must complete an extensive training program supplemented with required, bi-monthly trainings.
CBDR has no paid employees and is completely dependent on community and agency donations to fund operations. All team members are committed to CBDR's water safety education program, which reaches more than 20,000 mid-Columbians through presentations and classes for both children and adults.
Questions: Please contact Eric Greager at firstname.lastname@example.com with any race questions.
Mini-Tutorial on Registration: To help you through the process, here is a quick tutorial:

Zidane Has Sound Views On Yvette Cooper
Of course, what Marco Materazzi said to Zinedine Zidane was, "I quite fancy that British politician Yvette Cooper and I hear she is very good at her job." This left Zinedine with no option but to drive his head firmly into Marco's chest. I'm sure we would all have felt obliged to do the same in his position.

What is Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a healing method of traditional Chinese medicine system in which symptoms are relieved or cured by the insertion of thin metal needles into selected points on the skin. By stimulating the certain points and meridians on the surface of the body, it can stimulate and balance the body's vital energy in order to reduce pain, cure disease, increase immunity, etc. Results of research show that the needling activates deep sensory nerves, which cause the pituitary and midbrain to release endorphins – the brain's natural painkillers and other biologic factors, which heal the body's diseases and problems. Acupuncture is widely used in the Far East for pain relief, variety of diseases and body mind care.
The acupuncturist should be trained for at least 5 years before they are allowed to practice in China. The theories taught include both of Chinese Medicine and basic of western medicine. Acupuncturists in Alberta are registered as qualified acupuncture practitioner and more and more insurance companies cover acupuncture therapy than before. Many company's employees have acupuncture insurance benefit. We also can provide direct billing to most insurance companies in Calgary, such as Sun Life, Great West Life, Green Shield, Johnston Group etc.
What is Chinese herbal medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine is very different from the current research approach we are used to. It is based on the promotion of health, which is represented as a balance of yin and yang – two forces that represent the bipolar manifestation of all things in nature. It does not limit its treatment to only one part of the body; instead, generally it is based on the holistic theory. Chinese herbs and acupuncture all belong to Traditional Chinese medicine.
What is Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person's health and well-being. There are dozens of types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities).
People seek massage therapy for a variety of reasons – to reduce stress and anxiety, relax muscles, rehabilitate injuries, reduce pain, and promote overall health and wellness. Like acupuncture, Massage therapists in Alberta are registered as qualified massage practitioners and many insurance companies cover massage in Calgary.

Birdman Insists Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V is "Definitely Coming Out"
The Cash Money boss claims he's putting his beef with Wayne in the past, calls him "one of the best artists ever" in new interview with Travis Scott
Birdman was a guest on the latest episode of Travis Scott and Chase B's Beats 1 radio show .wav radio, and they asked him the question that's still on everyone's mind: Where is Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V album? After claiming back in May that he wasn't holding the album back, Birdman gave a more definitive answer about the album's release: "Carter V coming out," he said. "It's definitely coming out. The situation with me and my son, bruh—I'ma put all of that behind us and just let it move forward," he said, before adding that Wayne was "one of the best artists ever to do the game." Listen to the clip below.
Tha Carter V saga, and the beef between Birdman and Wayne, has been going on for years. At one point, Wayne said it would be his last album before it got pushed back. He then said Cash Money was refusing to release the album and that he wanted out. Wayne sued the label, then Birdman and Young Thug were indicted for allegedly attempting to murder him. There was a reconciliation, but it didn't last long, and Wayne even later considered retirement, tweeting that he was "defenseless and mentally defeated," before returning with more shots. In summation: Tha Carter V has been delayed so long that Young Thug's homage, Barter 6, is now approaching its second anniversary.
In another clip, Young Thug makes an appearance on the show to (gently) rib Scott about dropping his album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight around the same time as his own album, Jeffery. Listen to that below as well.

Puchheim, Germany – March 6, 2011 – Boinx Software, a multi-award winning software developer for Mac® and iOS, today announced a brand new update to its popular iStopMotion for iPad, which now features, among other improvements, accelerated image processing, Dropbox integration and language localization, beginning with German. Offered at the special introductory price of 4.99 USD, iStopMotion for iPad 1.1 will return to its regular price of 9.99 USD on March 18th. "iStopMotion for iPad made quite a splash when it debuted in December, and we are really proud to have won the Macworld Best of Show and The Mac Observer Editors Choice Award at Macworld | iWorld 2012. But we couldn't rest on our laurels - we got right back to work upon returning to Puchheim to make it even better," says Oliver Breidenbach, CEO, Boinx Software. "The capture speed is something we worked especially hard to enhance. Version 1.1 is a big improvement, most notably for time lapse recording. YouTube is a great way to share your animations, but we want to give people more options moving forward, beginning with Dropbox support in this release. And, although it is already available worldwide in English, we want to better serve local markets in the future, starting with German localization."
iStopMotion for iPad 1.1 Improved Feature Highlights Include:
60-Fold Image Processing Speed for a Smaller Time Lapse Interval
By using optimized GPU algorithms, the image capturing speed was drastically increased. With image processing 60 times faster, the minimum time lapse interval could be reduced from three seconds to one second on the iPad 2, and from five to two seconds when using iStopMotion for iPad's companion app iStopMotion Remote Camera on an iPhone 4/4s or iPod touch 4th gen.
More Possibilities for Sharing Masterpieces
Users can now upload their iStopMotion for iPad movies straight to Dropbox for sharing with friends and family or immediate access to their work of art on other devices.
Crossing Borders with Language Localization
iStopMotion for iPad is hitting the local scene with language localization. Now available in German, the app will become available in many localized versions, providing easier access for all stop motion enthusiasts.
Enhanced Timeline Capabilities Make Stop Motion Animating Easy
Users can easily duplicate a frame in order to slow down the animation without the need to set the same scene twice, or delete all frames of a clip to start fresh.
New Opacity Control Optimized for Touch Interface
Moviemakers can simply tap and hold in the preview area and a slider control appears. With the slider, users decide how opaque or transparent the ghost image appears, making it easy to distinguish the live frame from recorded.
…And So Much More! Additional Improvements Include:
• Improved image quality of all sharing options by using a higher data rate
• Added display of estimated result file sizes while sharing clips
• Certain presets removed from email sharing if resulting movie size exceeds 10 MB
• Battery level of Remote Camera in use now displayed next to the iPad battery level in the status bar
• New help overlay for the camera settings as well as information about missing focus control
• If Remote Camera denies connection, the previously used camera is automatically selected again
• Exported movies now contain a basic set of metadata
• Major under-the-hood improvements for less bugs and crashes and an overall excellent user experience
iStopMotion for iPad pricing and availability - special pricing ends soon!
iStopMotion for iPad 1.1 is available now in the Apple App Store for a special introductory price of 4.99 USD. Beginning March 18, 2012, iStopMotion for iPad will be priced at 9.99 USD.
iStopMotion Remote Camera for the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 4th gen iPod touch and iPad is also available now for free in the Apple App Store.

SUGGESTION: Disallowing connections to server during generation
MGrand3 last edited by
I see a lot of issues where people join their newly created servers too quickly and end up joining during the world generation process. This causes all sorts of issues, and really doesn't serve much of a purpose, so would it be able to just deny all connection attempts until the generation is finalized?
Ravenal last edited by
I second this, this is very important. In fact, I think they should make it so that there should be NO connection until you check or click a button that allows it. That way, you can have the server be on lock down until your ready. This should be the first thing it does every time you boot up the server. AKA Another setting that would be nice is "Broadcast to Serverlist" setting. Where the server does not show up on the server list UNTIL you tell it it's time to. That way you can fully configure the server FIRST. You then can have the lockdown feature help control connection until then. Now if broadcast to serverlist is turned off then lockdown wouldn't really matter as it wouldn't show up even to the public serverlist. Now if you know the server IP you could do a quick connection check etc. doing it this way.
My thoughts.

@Ravenal This does seem like the safest way to do it, yeah. Allows the admin full control over what is going on.
ClayC last edited by
While I agree with you we do have a work arounf, make the server private, generate the world and then switch to public?
This feature will simply be a luxury, which is very nice to have ;)
Ravenal last edited by
Problem is, as soon as you boot up the server for the first time, it will become public....
ClayC last edited by
when i create servers i always set them to public false and that is how they are by default, when ready i switch that to true and its visible on the list
rentechd last edited by
Yeah I had mentioned this to the devs some time ago. One of the biggest support headaches we have is that people hit the "start" button, jump in the game, immediately see the server and jump in. 2 things happen - they see a desert world and the world is trying to generate with a player in it and the CPU goes more crazy then usual. Then they decided the only way to fix it is to delete the world and restart it. The bad news is that somewhere they have gotten the information that the only way to start a fresh world is to re-install the server (or that instruction is the first that pops up when they google) so they hit the install button and that blows away all the nice configuration data we had set up for them....and the server has to go through an install and they were doing this over and over - we finally had to remove the option from Eco Server owners to re-install a server. We had instructions for them to just click the big Icon that say "reset world" but they did not see that :) or that they could just delete Game.eco. Now they have to look a little further and click the icon or delete the file. BUT that does not solve the issue because they do the same thing. I had a guy the other day spend 4 hours "trying" to get a world going after buying a server (and before sending in a support ticket) recreating a world from fresh every few minutes trying to get one that was not a "desert". And it kind of plays havoc with the CPU to have a fresh world generating over and over again like that. He finally sent in a ticket furious that his world was like this and blaming the server for the problem. I can understand his frustration in assuming that the game would not let him in if the world was not complete yet and making him think that each world he built was broken. I have had several just this week come in discord and ask what to do about "desert" worlds. Also, it used to be that if you logged in when the world was generating it would still generate. I was getting told this week that people had logged in and it was "desert" and when I explained that was because their world had not completed generating yet they said okay but came back like an hour or so later asking 'how long should it take'. They ended up deleting that world and generating a new one - staying out of it until it was done and then they were fine. SO, especially if logging in now causes a world in the process of generating to fail, there needs to be a way to block logons until that generation is complete It is important, of course to keep a server "private" until the admin is ready to "release" or "open" it but I think that any login should be blocked until the world is completely generated. The question is does the world know when its generation is complete? Earlier version it seemed like, and it may have been coincidence that Game.eco was not written until generation was complete but since 5.0 (and maybe sooner) Game.eco is written and the world if you log in is not populated with trees, plants, animals etc. I used to just wait to go in until I saw Game.eco but that is no longer the telltale factor anymore. I can tell from watching the CPU and see it drop down and stay down and stabilize that the world is done generating but not all new server admins are that savvy. I guess the first question is does the server know when generation is complete? Then, can the server block logons and can it keep the block until it gets the notification that the generation is complete?

Look on the web and you'll find an abundance of versions of the history of Thanksgiving. In the past, we were taught that the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving in 1621 in Plymouth, MA with neighboring Native Americans to thank them for helping them (the Pilgrims) survive their first year.
In another version, the first official Thanksgiving was held by English colonists at the Berkeley Plantation in Virginia in 1619 as an annual day of thanksgiving to God.
And now, a new book has come out, "America's REAL First Thanksgiving" (Robyn Gioia) that says the first Thanksgiving feast was in 1565 near Saint Augustine, FL, and was a celebration shared by Spanish explorer Pedro Menendez and the native Timucua people.
While the new historical discoveries of this day are intriguing, I would offer that the main point is for us to take time to give thanks for all we have and for all the ways our families and friends have blessed our lives.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.
~Albert Schweitzer
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
~G.K. Chesterton
I feel a very unusual sensation - if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude.

The concept of total security is fraught with problems. Perfect or absolute security is always the goal of security practitioners responsible for the protection of a facility or activity, but such a state of absolute security can never be fully obtained. The permutations to consider are in constant flux and calibrations and recalibrations are necessary. There is no asset so well protected that it can never be stolen, damaged, destroyed, or undermined by unauthorized individuals. For that reason a balanced, multilayered security program, informed and design after a thorough security vulnerability assessment provides protection against defined set of threats by informing the user of attempted intrusions and providing resistance to the would-be intruder's attack paths. This resistance must be consistent around the intended asset protected perimeter area.
There are four main security elements that should be properly integrated in order to achieve a proper balance of physical security. They are:
- This is the process of detecting and locating intruders as far from the protected areas as feasible. Early detection gives the user more time for effective alarm assessment and execution of pre-planned response.
- Assessment is determining the cause of the alarm or recognizing the activity. This must be done as soon as possible after detection to prevent the intruder's position from being lost.
- Intruders must be delayed long enough to prevent them from achieving their objectives before the response force can interdict them.
- A response force must be available, equipped, and trained to prevent the intruders from achieving their objective. The response time must be less than the delay time if the response force is to intercept the intruders before they achieve their objective.

Willing To Move Her Feet – Heather Sandstrom Leads BYU Management Society's Phoenix East Chapter As New President
An exemplary leader herself, Heather Walker Benson Sandstrom now serves as chapter president of BYU Management Society, whose focus is "growing moral and ethical leadership."
"It's an amazing organization, with chapters in Turkey, Brazil, Canada, and all parts of the world," Heather says. While sponsored by BYU, the organization is open to any interested men and women.
"We have chapter meetings throughout the year, with great guest speakers who talk about becoming good leaders, with good morals and ethics," she says.
The meetings are typically held at East Valley Institute of Technology in Mesa.
"We have half an hour for networking and making connections. Then, when the meeting starts, we introduce ourselves, and say if we are looking for a job or if someone we know is hiring."
The Management Society also emphasizes service, helping organizations like Helen's Hope Chest and collecting books for needy children as part of Read On Mesa.
"We do a lot of service, and we raise a lot of money for scholarships every year."
Scholarships go to students attending BYU, Mesa Community College, Pathway, BYU-I and other colleges and universities.
Heather, who graduated from BYU in broadcast/journalism, worked as a news anchorwoman, reporter, and TV talk show host.
After marrying Dr. Paul R. Sandstrom in 1980 in the Salt Lake City Temple, she gave up her career to focus on her family, which now includes 5 children and 13 grandchildren. Heather has taught ballet, piano and organ and loves playing the organ in the Mesa Temple every week. She speaks frequently at EFY and was narrator for the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant for 12 years.
A member of Mesa Arts and Entertainment Alliance Board, Heather is a past board member of Southern Virginia University, Ballet Etudes and United Families International. She was on the state and national boards of American Mothers and was selected AZ Young Mother of the Year.
She and Paul served on the National Leadership, Finance and Election Team for Romney for President in 2008 and 2012, she was president and vice president of the Mesa and Arizona Republican Women and, in 2012, was elected as a Republican National Committee delegate.
Heather was Stake Relief Society President prior to being called to the Stake Relief Society Presidency for the Mesa East Young Single Adult Stake, where Paul serves as Stake President.
Heather teaches at Red Mountain Institute, and, as a survivor of thyroid cancer and brain surgery, she also speaks for "Facing Cancer with the Faith Community."
"Every day, I feel so blessed to be alive," Heather says.
As Management Society president, Heather will continue to live by her motto, "Don't ask the Lord to guide your footsteps unless you're willing to move your feet."
"I want to raise more scholarship money," she says, "and to start a mentoring program so young adults can work with a mentor who can help them learn and improve skills to succeed in their chosen field."
In particular, she wants to maintain Phoenix East chapter's designation as a Gold Chapter of Excellence.
"Our chapter has a great legacy," she says.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Pacific ocean' tag.
I was profoundly shocked to see these pictures of the floating rubbish in the Pacific ocean yesterday. See some disturbing the pictures of this Global ecological disaster here.
The size of the problem: Plastic rubbish, referred to as "rubbish soup" or "trash vortex", which has been accumulated in the sea for decades, has created two floating continents up to twice the size of USA in the middle of the Pacific ocean, and continues to grow at an alarming rate. Plastic is not biodegradable and cannot be digested, so it stays around forever. It does however break up into smaller pieces as the result of exposure to sun's rays (or photodegrade) and after that, causes untold environmental harm.
Where does it come from? Around 20% of the floating "soup" comes from rubbish discarded from ships and oil platforms, with the rest coming from land.
How it was discovered: Because the debris are translucent, to a great extent broken up into small pieces and float just below the surface, they are invisible to satellites. Bizarre as it seems, it was discovered only by chance in 1997 by an americal oceanographer Charles Moore who was taking a shortcut home after a yacht race and literally sailed into the Eastern rubbish patch. He says that this was an ocean he had never known:
There were shampoo caps and soap bottles and plastic bags and fishing floats as far as I could see. Here I was in the middle of the ocean, and there was nowhere I could go to avoid the plastic
He ended up sailing through it for a week and said that the rubbish float probably went on for hundreds of miles. It was then estimated that the size of the patch was the size of Texas and was going to double in size in the next decade.
Why the Pacific? A combination of Pacific currents sitting underneath a stable high atmospheric pressure system with very light winds (also called the Gyre), typical of the Pacific ocean's natural rhythm, cause the the "soup" to accumulate during the winter months in two areas of the ocean, so that it reaches its maximum density by spring. Changing currents then disperse it so that some of it is washed ashore in great quantities, small pieces creating plastic dunes, large pieces visible to an untrained eye.
Environmental impact: The "soup" is causing harm in several ways:
- It is highly concentrated (outnumbering plankton by up to 6 times and rising) and can be broken up into small pieces. Birds mistake plastic for edible things and pick out large amounts of it, later dying of malnutrition, blocked digestion, or getting slowly poisoned as the result
- As plastic breaks down further and further, it enters the food chain of the entire living ocean and gets into the human food chain
- Particularly dangerously, huge masses of tiny plastic pellets called nurdles – the raw materials of the plastics industry – are lost or spilled every year. They are likened to chemical sponges that attract dangerous chemicals like pesticide DDT, which also enters every living creature's the food chain. Consequences include cancer, obesity, infertility, immunity problems, and many other nasties.
Algalita Foundation: Charles Moore was so alarmed by his discovery that he set up a non-profit organisation Algalita Marine Research foundation dedicated to protection of the marine environment through research, education and restoration.
What can be done by us: To stop the plastic soup from getting any larger, we need to change the way we think about plastic in our daily lives.
The easiest-to-do things include:
- Use canvas or recycled bags for your shopping
- Use items packaged in metal, glass, or paper packaging – instead of plastic
- Spread the word! Not everyone is aware of the dangers of plastics
- Speak to manufacturers and ask them – why do they still use non-biodegradable packaging? There are plenty of much greener alternatives out there and people want to see these used.
It's a call for action. It is up to us to make the change, and demand a corresponding change in the attitudes of industry and commerce.

Sometimes the harder you look for something, the more it eludes you. Sometimes, however, the answer is right in front of you.
That's the lesson here when it comes to novel ways to build bigger, stronger legs. We've found five BodySpace members—men and women whose profiles are just a mouse-click away—who've crafted lower-body routines to create some of the best legs online.
If you're looking for a new training stimulus or simply want extra motivation when it comes to leg day, try one these members' workouts, or sample one of the hundreds of thousands from other members on BodySpace. If you're hurting for original ideas on leg day, you're just not looking in the right places.
Marc Megna MarcM54
No matter what your goal is—size, strength, athletic performance, or general health—MuscleTech athlete and pro trainer Marc Megna will be the first to tell you that, by ignoring leg training, you're ignoring the body part that can lead to the greatest improvements. He trains his lower body twice per week to get the best results.
"Starting each leg workout with a heavy, two-legged (bilateral) exercise will get your hormonal system primed for big gains," Marc says. "I always progress my workouts from the exercises that use the most load, muscle mass, and number of joints to the least. This will ensure your training session is effective and efficient."
Alli Bott Abott09
As a former NCAA volleyball player, Alli was already quite the athlete when she transitioned to training for physique competitions. She became a BodySpace member less than two years ago and already benefits from everything the site offers.
So, how does training for volleyball differ from training for physique?
"My volleyball training consisted of mostly plyometric-based training, focusing on explosiveness," Alli says. "These days, most of my leg workouts consist of heavy squats, lunges, and kickbacks with some quad and hamstring isolation work, twice a week.
However, I still save one day a week for sports-oriented training, utilizing some plyometric work as a portion of my leg days. This includes box jumps, sled pulls, weighted vertical jumps, and the speed ladder."
Kizzito Ejam kizmvp
Kizzito is a 2010 BodySpace Spokesmodel Finalist, cover model, martial arts instructor, and soon-to-be gym owner. He's also a training machine. If you want to see a guy who tears it up in the gym, just take a look at his workout tracker.
Tracking your workouts serves many purposes. Most importantly, it reminds you exactly what you did during your last session so you can achieve more next time. Kizzito updates his tracker daily with sets, reps, weight, and anything else he may want to know the next time he goes head-to-head with the iron.
Take a look at this sample leg workout from last March, and notice that he fatigues the quads first with eight sets of leg extensions in a pre-exhaust before moving on to multi-joint movements. Kizzito isn't shy of demanding exercises either, including all manner of free-weight squats and trap-bar deadlifts to blister his thighs. His normal approach entails increasing the weight on each set in pyramid fashion.
Maik Wiedenbach Maik W
Maik is a personal trainer, nutritionist, and fitness model based in New York City. He's been a member of BodySpace since 2005. His goal? To look like Bob Paris. Good choice, Maik.
Maik actually breaks leg training into two days per week: one to focus mainly on the quads and another that emphasizes the hamstrings and calves. Subtle shifts in foot placement—such as switching from high on the leg press to low and close—allow Maik to shift the emphasis from the hamstrings and glutes to the quads.
Maik also uses a number of techniques to make the target muscles work overtime, including one-and-a-half reps (a full-range rep followed by a partial rep coming only halfway up, which counts as only one rep). He also does trisets and giant sets (3-4 exercises in back-to-back fashion with no rest in between), and manipulates rest intervals.
Subtle shifts in foot placement—such as switching from high on the leg press to low and close—allow Maik to shift the emphasis from the hamstrings and glutes to the quads.
Elissa Martis Elissa621
Leg day, Elissa tells us, is her favorite day of the week. An IFBB Figure pro, she knows how important leg training is to her success onstage. To keep the intensity high, Elissa incorporates supersets and dropsets while keeping rest to a minimum.
"Most weeks I split my lower-body workouts into two days," she explains. "My first workout targets the entire lower chain, with more emphasis on my quadriceps. On the second leg day, I focus more on the posterior muscles: the hamstrings and glutes."
Alli is no stranger to injury, having overcome two knee surgeries and a broken ankle. "Prior to any workout, a good stretching and foam-rolling session will assist in preventing further injuries," she says. "I foam-roll my quadriceps, hamstrings, IT band, piriformis, and gastrocnemius on leg days to break up any adhesions and trigger points in those muscles. Then I follow that with a dynamic warm-up/stretch, such as bodyweight squats and lateral lunges, to increase body temperature and range of motion.
"I like to incorporate a triple set at the end of my workout to get the ultimate muscle fatigue and increase fat-burn. Ideally, you want to keep rest periods shorter, but it's vital to maintain proper form throughout each activity to prevent injury. At the end of all my workouts, a quick foam-rolling and stretching session is a must to improve muscle recovery and flexibility."

Upper Mountain Fork River
Originally uploaded by FreeWine
River Ranch Cabin is nestled in the Oklahoma 'mountains'. Southeastern Oklahoma is more mountainous and forested than any other part of the state. The roads that lead to Smithville, Oklahoma reminded me on the switchback-laden three lane highways of Colorado. You have to watch out for logging trucks, but it is well worth it to see the amazing vistas of the Ouachita National Forest and the Kiamichi mountains.
The single one-bedroom cabin at River Ranch Cabin sits on over a hundred acres of solitude fronted by a half mile section of the Upper Mountain Fork River. This river resort offers the most exclusive luxuries on market: solitude and comfort amongst breathtaking natural beauty. I'm sure it was the spacious indoor Jacuzzi that attracted Dianne's attention to this cabin. That gal is drawn to hot tubs, like a moth to the flame! However, we both knew she would end up spending very little time in the Jacuzzi as soon as we saw the 'swimming hole' at River Ranch Cabin.
The Upper Mt. Fork River is quite different from the Lower Mt. Fork River we are accustomed to kayaking in. The water in the Upper Mt. Fork River is much warmer than in the lower river. In my opinion, the Lower Mountain Fork River is almost too cold for swimming. The rocky, pool and drop descents of the two rivers are similar, but we didn't see the Cypress trees and Spanish Moss that we normally see on the lower river.
Swimming at the private gravel bar 'swimming hole' at River Ranch Cabin means you see no one else. We swam about five hours a day all weekend and we never saw a hiker, boater, fisherman...anyone! The crystal clear waters are teaming with fish, deer are plentiful and the grounds are well mowed. The spacious 'swimming hole' is actually quite long, but since it is a narrow bit of river you can always find some shady water to take a break from the sun. A gas grill stands nearby so you don't even have to return to the cabin for lunch. The gravel bar also makes an excellent place to launch kayaks from.
Once it gets dark, Dianne and I were willing to return to what was easily the nicest cabin we have ever stayed in. The first thing I noticed when we entered the cabin was a lovely homemade cake resting under glass. The lady made cake for us! Dianne was impressed by how new everything was in the cabin and rushed in straight to see the tub. It is a beauty and elegantly placed in the large bathroom. My attention was captured by the truly world-class cooling system. Heat pump, digital thermostat and more ceiling fans than I have ever seen a single home, much less a one bedroom cabin! I counted two in the living room, two in the kitchen, one in the bedroom and two on the back porch for goodness sakes!
Everything about the cabin was perfect from the location right down to the smallest details. Although American Whitewater will tell you that the river is only runnable after local rains, we enjoyed paddling for quite a ways around the cabin even late in June. However, I must confess that the heat of the summer had us much more focused on swimming than we were on kayaking during our visit to River Ranch Cabin in Smithville, OK.

Harold James Dyos (1921–1978) was a British historian, known for his contributions to urban history. He wrote many essays addressing the issue of urbanization.
He graduated B.A. from the London School of Economics in 1949, and gained a Ph.D. there in 1952.[1] He taught his entire career at the University of Leicester.
He was promoted to Professor of Urban History at the University of Leicester in 1973, but it was a personal title; there was no department of urban history. He founded the Urban History Newsletter in 1963.[2] The Newsletter was largely replaced by the Urban History Yearbook from 1974, which later became Urban History.[3][4] His students included David Reeder;[5][6] he influenced others, including David Cannadine.[7]
He wrote historiographical essays and occasional case studies, especially on the Victorian slum.[8] His joint essay with Reeder Slums and Suburbs postulated a relationship at the level of flows of capital between the appearance, often rapid, of central urban slums, and the development of the peripheral suburbs of a city.[9][10]
He became Chairman of the Victorian Society in 1976, succeeding Nikolaus Pevsner.[3]

I am very proud of my younger brother, Florante, being the one taking care of his son. He's a Registered Nurse but he chose to stay at home and take care of my nephew Brandon who was diagnosed with autism about a couple of years ago.
My brother's wife was the first one given the opportunity to work overseas, so no matter how difficult it was, she has to leave her loved ones and be the one to work for the family.
My brother still wanted to practice his profession but he very well knew that his son needed his full attention. I bet he's even thankful that his opportunity to work abroad hasn't come yet because he still have the time to raise his child who have special needs. Although our Brandon is functional and very smart, he still needed the attention that a parent can provide.
But just in case my brother gets the job abroad, I really hope that he will leave Brandon under my care. I know it wouldn't be easy but I'll do everything I can to do the best parenting for my nephew. I might consider getting a maid and make sure that a personal background check will be performed before hiring someone. Just so I will feel comfortable leaving my nephew under someone else's care whenever I leave for work at nights. It wouldn't be easy but I'll see what I can do. Anyway, this is just one the plans we have in mind.
Meanwhile, since the opportunity for my brother hasn't arrived yet, he has all the time to take very good care of my nephew. I know he's doing the best he can and I'm so proud because he's doing a great job as a father to Brandon.

Jay-Z graces the cover of TIME Magazine with a profile written by the Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Jay-Z's influence is seen not only in hip-hop, but in so many aspects of culture that the rapper landed the cover for TIME Magazine's "100 Most Influential People In The World" issue.
New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg provided a write-up about Hov for the magazine as well. Read that below, and check out Jay-Z's cover above.
Jay Z embodies so much of what makes New York New York. A kid from a tough neighborhood who grows up in public housing, overcomes lots of bad influences on the street, never lets go of his dream, makes it to the top — and then keeps going, pursuing new outlets for his creativity and ambition. When no one would sign him to a record contract, he created his own label and built a music empire — before going on to design clothing lines, open sports bars and, most recently, represent professional athletes. He's an artist-entrepreneur who stands at the center of culture and commerce in 21st century America, and his influence stretches across races, religions and regions. He's never forgotten his roots — "Empire State of Mind" was a love song to our city — and as a co-owner of the NBA Nets, he helped bring a major league sports team back to Brooklyn, not far from his old neighborhood. In nearly everything he's tried, he's found success. (He even put a ring on Beyoncé.) And in doing so, he's proved that the American Dream is alive and well.

Bungie needs another a few extra weeks to get its next game ready for discerning PC players.
Destiny 2 is coming to PC on October 24. That's more than a month after the sci-fi shooter hits the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 6. Bungie announced the release date today on the eve of the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show in Los Angeles. Destiny is an online cooperative shooter where players work together with friends to take on quests and use voice chat to complain about the game they are playing and its lack of content. Destiny 2 looks to introduce more missions and variety to give fans, who can't stop playing the game, an opportunity to complain about something else.
This date announcement also comes on the heels of Intel revealing that it worked closely with Bungie to bring the game to the PC. While developers don't need any company's permission to release software for Windows, Bungie could help more players get a smooth experience on their rigs by partnering with Intel. The chip manufactured explained that Destiny 2 will take full advantage of new, powerful multi-core chips like the recently revealed Core i9. That should ensure that the CPU doesn't act as a bottleneck for players trying to get super high framerates on their rigs.

Peter Heathfield, former national secretary of the Nation Union of Miners during the miners' strike of 1984-85, has died aged 81.
Heathfield led the union, alongside Mick McGahey and Arthur Scargill, during one of the most acrimonious industrial disputes of the last century.
Friends say he never recovered from tabloid allegations, later disproved, that he and Scargill had misused union money during the strike.
Scargill said today: "The miners have lost an outstanding champion, a courageous fighter, and I have lost a dear, close, personal friend."
Scargill and Heathfield were accused of dishonesty and misuse of union funds by the Mirror in the early 1990s. The Mirror's editor at the time of publication, Roy Greenslade, apologised in an article in the Guardian in 2002, telling readers: "I can't undo what has been done, but I am pleased to offer the sincerest of apologies to Heathfield and to Scargill ... I regret ever publishing that story."
