Game 4 followed what has become a familiar script for the Pacers. Fall behind by double digits but then fight like crazy and string together stops to take back the lead, only this time they didn't execute when they needed to late into Sunday evening.
The Cavaliers outscored the Pacers 15-8 over the final 6:12, a stretch that featured two three-pointers and a pair of foul shots from Kyle Korver. The four-point Cavaliers win, 104-100, evens the series at two games apiece with the series shifting back to Cleveland for Game 5 on Wednesday. It's the third consecutive game decided by four points or less.
Like in Game 1, the game opened with a Myles Turner jumper. They led 3-2 after a free throw from Thad Young, but didn't lead again until the fourth quarter, when Domantas Sabonis' only three-point attempt of the evening went down. Sabonis, one of seven Pacers in double figures, led the Pacers with a playoff career-high 19 points and six rebounds off the bench.
Pacers coach Nate McMillan was not pleased with his team's performance all game. That's a rare occurrence, even though just six players were back from last season and the starting lineup includes three new pieces. He felt that they were disjointed and tried to do things on their own far too often.
"This group has played the game the right way [most of the season]," he said. "Sometimes you get in these games like this, emotional games, and you're so pumped up that sometimes you try to do some things by yourself — and a lot of times it doesn't work.
"We need to be connected. You play that game together and you play for each other. I didn't think we were connected out there tonight."
The Pacers allowed 30 points in both the first and second quarters by the Cavaliers, who have are averaging 93.5 points per game in this season. That's 60 first-half points right there, including 23 from LeBron James.
"Again, another similar start to this game as the last two games. Not getting stops, thought we was frantic offensively throughout the game and I just didn't think we played the game the right way," McMillan said, with frantic being an interesting description for how they played.
While they presented a balanced attacked, several players tried to battle shooting woes. Like Victor Oladipo, who missed 15 of his 20 shots attempted. He still managed 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists, but many of his shots felt forced. He was 2 for 8 in the final quarter.
Just as they had in the two previous games, the Pacers went into the locker room frustrated and down by at least 10 points.
"We just have to find a better way to get ahead and get that lead at halftime," said veteran Trevor Booker. "They're doing a good job of coming out being aggressive. We just need to do the same thing. We've been in that situation many times. We just need better starts."
McMillan has preached to his teams over the last several weeks, and to us media less than two hours before the game, how it was critically important to get off to a better start. But they didn't.
They turned it over just nine times in all, but seven came in the first half and were converted into 17 points. That's efficient basketball by the Cavs. All season long coach McMillan has stressed the three Cs: Cool, calm, and connected. For one of the few things this season, he felt those attributes were missing.
"I thought there was some quick shots, some heroic shots that were taken throughout this game and you're not going to win if you play the game like that," he said.
Lance Stephenson provided a jolt off the bench, but too often in Game 4 he teetered too far into Bad Lance. Like when the ball was inbounded and he took three steps before dribbling. Travel.
Or when he fought hard against LeBron, tied him up, then held the ball up like it was the Larry O'Brien trophy.
The Cavaliers called timeout with 6:13 left, trailing by two. Stephenson was breathing on LeBron, who sent him away with a light shove. Stephenson sold it and LeBron was issued just his sixth technical foul of the season by official Pat Fraher.
"I should know better," LeBron said afterwards with a big grin. "I've been dealing with this since elementary [school]. It's like I tell you a joke and then you laugh and you get caught. That's what happened. [laughs in the room]
"Lance told me a joke, I laugh, teacher caught me, now I have to go see the principal. That's what happened."

Oladipo made the technical foul shot that made it 92-89. The Cavaliers replaced Clarkson with Kyle Korver, who buried to three-pointers two minutes later. They scored seven unanswered and took the lead for good.
"He's pulling as soon as he comes off the screen," Thad Young (12 points, 16 rebounds) said of Korver. They were once teammates in Philadelphia. "He just needs a split second. He's done this for years in this league."
The Pacers missed 10 of their next 11 shots, and too many of them were isolation plays and early into the shot clock. An Oladipo pull up from 20 feet, a fadeaway by Darren Collison, another pull up by Oladipo, then a missed Myles Turner three-pointer.
They were all trying to do it on their own.
"We probably could have gotten better shots but it's easier said than done," says steady veteran Darren Collison. He, too, struggled shooting (5 for 14) but contributed eight assists, five rebounds and zero turnovers in 32 minutes. "… That's a big part of winning games, is that last minutes. We'll be fine."
Then, as the Pacers still had a glimmer of hope, Stephenson tied up Jeff Green and they landed on the ground together. One official signaled for a jump ball, but he was overruled by crew chief Ken Maur. After review, Stephenson was issued a foul, which didn't please Pacers fans. It looked like two competitors wanting the ball in a key late-game situation.
"It could've been very close to a flagrant," the officials told McMillan. "They decided to call it a foul, but it was close to a flagrant that Green was grabbed and thrown to the floor."
Lance's good plays far outweigh the negative, and his teammates support him completely.
"Lance is Lance. He's done some very good things for us, he's played well this series," said Collison. "He's competing. That's one thing you have to respect about Lance, he's competing. We got his back, regardless of what he's doing. He's not doing anything that's hurting us as a team, he's actually helping us every single game.
The Cavaliers arrived to Bankers Life Fieldhouse Sunday all dressed as one, in the second of three Thom Browne suits LeBron got for them. This time, they got the last laugh, and hope that it's a building block for a longer postseason run.
After the loss, as Pacers star Oladipo waited his turn at the podium, he looked over video of the game quickly loaded onto his iPad by head video coordinator Tim Dather. He does it after every game. This was the first time, however, that I can recall Oladipo going to his iPad so soon after a game. He wouldn't reveal what specifically he looked at, only that it was a few game highlights.
There are now two days between games, which bodes well for LeBron. He played more than 46 minutes, including the entire second half, and could use the extra day off more than anybody in the league. The Pacers will take the day off, but "off" is used lightly. Every game will be through their practice facility for film, treatment, and on-court work for the guys out of the rotation.
Then, a light practice will be held Tuesday before their flight to Cleveland. Game 5 will be at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, and then they'll return to Indy for Game 6 Friday night.
"It's going to be another tough game, but there's nothing that we can't handle," said a confident Oladipo.
Of Note…

Software and portal usability improvements reduce training times, increase productivity, lower total cost of ownership, and help motivate customers and employees to take up new systems. User-focused software development is highly cost-effective, benefiting not only the end user, but also the system developers, support staff, trainers, and documentation teams.
The cause of poorly designed software and portals are well documented yet they continue to this day. It often comes down to the orientation of the developers. Many developers focus on the technology without any regard to the users. Problems arise when requirements documents are inadequate or incomplete, business processes are ignored and user-testing is skipped.
The developer's challenge is to ensure the final outcome matches the client's initial vision. To do this cost-effectively the design must be tested by users before coding begins. If usability problems are identified at this stage they can be fixed inexpensively and quickly. Missing this step usually makes the difference between success and failure. The end result is software and portals that deliver the desired results, within the allotted time frame and budget, but without the frustrations.

|Condition or disease
|Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Vasospasm
|Biological: Red blood cell transfusion
|Phase 1 Phase 2
Each year, approximately 30,000 people suffer aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the United States. The most common and potentially treatable cause of secondary neurological injury in this population is delayed ischemic deficit (DID). As the name implies, this phenomenon is fundamentally a reduction of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen delivery below critical ischemic thresholds, occurring days after the onset of hemorrhage. Three inter-related physiological processes appear to be involved in the reduced oxygen delivery: severe narrowing of intracranial arteries (arterial vasospasm), intravascular volume depletion and a loss of normal autoregulatory function in the distal circulation. DID occurs in up to 40% of patients surviving SAH. One third of these patients will die from this phenomenon and another third will be left with permanent and severe disability.
The optimal treatment of vasospasm is not known. Medical management involves a number of hemodynamic manipulations and is usually referred to as hypervolemic, hypertensive, hemodilution (or Triple-H) therapy. Our knowledge of the physiological impact of the individual components or a combination of them is limited and clinical efficacy has not been established. The information gained in this study has great potential to advance our knowledge regarding the role of hematocrit in the optimal treatment of this often-devastating condition.
Changes in hematocrit can potentially impact brain oxygen delivery in two ways. First, there is a linear relationship between hemoglobin and arterial oxygen content, lower hematocrit less oxygen. Thus at a given CBF lowering hematocrit reduces brain oxygen delivery. Fortunately, the brain responds to this by increasing blood flow to restore oxygen delivery to baseline levels. Additionally, lowering hematocrit has another effect, it reduces viscosity which in and of itself can raise CBF, but in a non-linear way. It is the relative contribution of these two effects that will determine if oxygen delivery improves.
It has been proposed by largely on theoretical consideration that the "optimal" hematocrit that achieves this balance is 30-35%. Yet no study to date has assessed the relationship between hematocrit and oxygen delivery in SAH patients. Other observations, however, suggest that higher hemoglobin levels in SAH patients was associated with better outcomes. Finally another retrospective review suggested that receiving transfusions increased risk for vasospasm and poor outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
We are proposing to begin a series of studies to determine the appropriate management of hematocrit in SAH patients. The first is to define the appropriate physiologic response (cerebral oxygen delivery and metabolism) to a change in hematocrit. Then the "optimal" hematocrit can be defined. Only then will we be able to properly design clinical outcome trials.

Telephone density
Telephone density or teledensity is the number of telephone connections for every hundred individuals living within an area. It varies widely across the nations and also between urban and rural areas within a country. Telephone density has significant correlation with the per capita GDP of the area.[1] It is also used as an indicator of the purchasing power of the middle class of the country or specific region.
Determining telephone density[edit]
In earlier days teledensity was computed as the number of fixed telephone lines per hundred inhabitants. But this method has become less significant with an increasing number of countries register a trend of mobile cellular subscribers outnumbering the fixed line connections. Hence, as an alternative, mobidensity or mobile cellular subscribers per hundred inhabitants was proposed. Since this method caused disadvantage to some countries where the fixed line network is well established, or others where the mobile network is still in its initial stage of development, effective teledensity has been proposed by ITU as the solution, which is defined as either fixed line connections or mobile subscribers per hundred inhabitants – whichever is higher.[2]
Fixed telephone lines per hundred inhabitants is calculated by dividing the number of fixed telephone lines by the total population and then multiplying by 100. Fixed telephone lines include PSTN, WLL, ISDN and DSL. A single ISDN or DSL subscriber connection may cater to multiple voice channels. This leads to a lack of global standard in the computation of fixed line density and hence ITU has recommended that all the countries shall provide the methodology of calculation of this figure in order to enhance comparability.[2]
Mobidensity or mobile cellular subscribers per hundred inhabitants is obtained by dividing the number of mobile cellular subscribers by the population and multiplying by 100. While computing Mobile cellular subscribers users of both post-paid subscriptions and pre-paid accounts are included. Inactive prepaid connections where a call has not been made or received within the last 3 months, are excluded.[3]
Teledensity and GDP[edit]
The correlation between teledensity and per capita GDP could be represented by a straight line in a logarithmic graph. This relation was first mentioned by A.G.W. Jipp. a German engineer, in his book published in 1962. The graph is helpful to compare the telephone infrastructure development of different countries or regions, on the basis of teledensity.[4]

so many pictures, not enough time. so much going on at home, and a trip coming up, i almost did not get out to the veteranos' show. drove an hour to get there from my parents' house.
better half still at home taking care of his mother, relatives visiting, so he couldn't go. and, i couldn't stay very long, as i needed to get back there with him.
lots more cars were showing up as i was leaving, but that's how it goes. and, well, i really don't care for midday light and shadows anyway.

Finding which trademarks are available and checking the copyright status of creative work are both very valuable in today's content-focused world.
Copyrights and trademarks are some of the most valuable tools used to protect content. Copyright protects a creative work such as a book or film, and helps the original author keep control of his hard work. Likewise, a trademark is used to safeguard a specific catch-phrase or term marketed by a company. Finding which trademarks are available and checking the copyright status of creative work are both very valuable in today's content-focused world. Learn how to do both by following this guide.
Before beginning, it's important to understand both copyrights and trademarks. Here are their definitions, direct from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office:
"A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others. Trademarks, copyrights and patents all differ. A copyright protects an original artistic or literary work; a patent protects an invention."
Both copyrights and trademarks can be registered with the government, but neither is required to be registered in order to be valid. No notice of copyright is legally required on a creative work. A copyright exists as soon as a work is created, and automatically belongs to the creator.
Even though registration of copyrights and trademarks isn't legally required, it is highly recommended. Registering makes proof of ownership easy to identify. It prevents confusion and protects a claim, especially in court.
These points are important when it comes to Internet research. If a work does not appear in registration search results, it is not automatically available or public domain. However, this search is often useful as a starting point to verify ownership.
Go to http://www.copyright.gov/records/ and click "Search the catalog." For pre-1978 registrations, click the link under "Other Services."
Enter your search term, and select the result type from the list. Press "Begin Search" when ready.
A list showing your results will display. Clicking an entry will show detailed information for that work.
Go to http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=login&p_lang=english&p_d=trmk to begin your Trademark search. There are several search methods available. The best choice to start is to click "New User Search Form Basic."
Enter the name or phrase you are searching for. You can chose to include Live, Dead, or both results. Dead results are previous trademarks that have expired. When ready, press "Submit Query."
A list of results will display. You can click each result to see details of the trademark entry.
This guide covers only the basics of online Trademark and Copyright search. The best way to continue research is to run a large amount of Internet searches and compare results from different sources. For important searches before making a claim, professional researchers are also available.
Trademark and Copyright law is a complicated and sometimes confusing topic. Always consult with experts in this area of law before taking significant steps. The Internet should be a resource tool, not your only source of advice.

We're now 5 months into the trading year. And it's a good time to reflect on what you're doing right in the market, what you're doing wrong, and what you'd like to do better for the rest of the year.
This includes patting yourself on the back for your successes.
Being honest with yourself for your failures.
And setting big goals for what you'd like to accomplish.
Like doubling your investment returns. (That's right, double!)
Think Big
It takes no more mental energy to work on a big goal than it does to work on a small one.
But the end results can be enormous.
Most people set their sights on small ideas because they don't yet know how they'll achieve them.
But in today's day and age, somebody has likely accomplished the very thing you've set out to do -- and left a roadmap on how to do it.
And for those who may think the market has already made its move and it's too late, think again.

The market has been trading within a perfectly defined uptrend since Q1 of 2009, and has now formed an unmistakable uptrend channel (see chart below). The uptrend line continues to form the backbone of this bull market. And the top line of the channel gives us a clear indication of where the market is headed.
As you can see, the charts are projecting a price target of 2,600 by the end of the year, which represents a nearly 10% move from where we are today, and a 16% gain for 2017.
So, the stage is set for another up year. And with the bullish backdrop in place, that means significantly larger upside potential in individual stocks where you could see gains of 25%, 50%, even 100% or more, if you know where to look.
Do What Works
So, which stocks should move the most? Stick with tried and true methods that work to find the best ones.
This is part of the roadmap to success.
For example, did you know that stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buy have beaten the market in 24 of the last 29 years with an average annual return of more than 25%? That's nearly three times the S&P. But when doing this year after year, that can add up to a lot more than just three times the returns.
And did you also know that stocks in the top 50% of Zacks Ranked Industries outperform those in the bottom 50% by a factor of 2 to 1? There's a reason why they say that half of a stock's price movement can be attributed to the group that it's in. Because it's true!
Those two things will give any investor a huge probability of success and put you well on your way to achieving your goals.
But you're not there yet, as those two items alone will only narrow down a field of 10,000 stocks to the top 100 or so. Way too many to trade at once.
So, the next step is to get that list down to the best 5-10 stocks that you can buy.
Proven Profitable Strategies
Picking the best stocks is a lot easier when there's a proven, profitable method to do it.
And by concentrating on what has proven to work in the past, you'll have a better idea as to what your probability of success will be now and in the future.
For example, if your strategy did nothing but lose money year after year, trade after trade, over and over again, there's no way you'd want to use that strategy to pick stocks with. Why? Because it's proven to pick bad stocks.
On the other hand, if your strategy did great year after year, trade after trade, over and over again, you'd of course want to use that strategy to pick stocks with. Why? Because it's proven to pick winning stocks.
Of course, this won't preclude you from ever having another losing trade. On the contrary, even the best strategies 'only' have win ratios of 60%, 70%, or even 80% -- not 100%. But if your stock picking strategy picks winners far more often than losers, you can feel confident that your next trade will have a high probability of success.
Here are a few of my favorite strategies that crushed the market last year and are doing the same again this year.
Filtered Zacks Rank 5: This strategy leverages the Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buys, and adds two time-tested filters to narrow the list of stocks down to five high probability picks each week. Over the last 17 years (2000 thru 2016), using a 1-week rebalance, the average annual return has been 55.6% vs. the S&P's 4.2%. It was up 70.7% in 2016. And so far this year (thru 4/30/17), this strategy is already up 16.9% (more than 2.3 x the market).
New Highs: Studies have shown that stocks making new highs have a tendency of making even higher highs. And this strategy proves it. The alignment of positive price action and strong fundamentals creates all the necessary conditions to see these stocks soar to even greater heights. Over the last 17 years (2000 thru 2016), using a 1-week rebalance, the average annual return has been 52.5%. It was up 95.5% in 2016. And so far this year (thru 4/30/17), it's already up 14.9% (more than twice the market's returns).
Small-Cap Growth: Small-caps have historically outperformed the market time and time again. Often these are newer companies in the early part of their growth cycle, which is when they grow the fastest. This strategy combines the aggressive growth of small-caps with our special blend of growth and valuation metrics for explosive returns. Over the last 17 years (2000 thru 2016), using a 1-week rebalance, the average annual return has been 61.0%. After beating the market again in 2016, it's already up this year (thru 4/30/17), a whopping 41.9% (more than 5.7 x the market).
The best part about these strategies (aside from the returns) is that all of the testing has already done. There's no guesswork involved. Just point and click and get your list of the best stocks for the week.
Roadmap to Success
As you can see, there's a clear roadmap to success to help you achieve your goal of doubling your stock returns in 2017.
No need to reinvent the wheel. The path has already been created. Now it's just about doing it. And once you decide to do something, it's amazing how often those decisions come true.
And just like anything, it only requires a few simple steps to get the ball rolling.
Where to Start
Yes, you can substantially beat the booming market. And there's a very simple way to begin: Try our Research Wizard stock-picking tool for 2 weeks free.

How have they done lately?

Michelle Nario-Redmond specializes in stereotyping, prejudice and disability studies. Her research on disability identity shows that self-conceptualization as a member of the disability community has positive implications for self-advocacy, political participation and responses to social injustice. Other empirical projects relate to the measurement and judgment implications of culturally shared stereotypes about disabled men and women; the effects of existential anxiety on the expression of disability prejudice; the antecedents and consequences of inspiration and paternalistic pity; and the unintended consequences of simulating disability. She is finishing her first book called, Ableism: The Causes and Consequences of Disability Prejudice, to be published for the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.
Michelle is passionate about inclusive pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning, and increasing access to education. Most recently, she participated in the American Psychological Association's Leadership Institute, and the Women with Disabilities in STEM Education Project. She serves on the board of Hattie Larlham, an agency working to increase the employment and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities. In collaboration with her daughter, she created a school-based intervention to raise awareness of disability culture as a valued aspect of human diversity and multiculturalism.

Building Trust International may only be one year old but it already looks set to have a substantial effect on hundreds of young lives by the end of 2012. The charitable organisation has just announced the winners of a unique competition inviting architecture and design studios around the world to formulate concepts for an educational facility for migrant or refugee children which can be relocated should social/political factors command, leaving no trace of construction on the land. An underprivileged community of Mae Sot in Burma is to be the first population to benefit from this inspirational scheme.
Termed 'Moving Schools', the design competition looks to provide a long-term solution to the many issues faced by displaced communities in the World's developing countries, beginning with the Burmese border town of Mae Sot. The United Nations has reported the widespread violation of human rights in the country including child labour and human trafficking, and Burma's health care system is currently ranked 190th in a list compiled by the World Health Organisation - the lowest of all countries analysed.
For Building Trust International stability is key, as they look to provide more than the shell of a school building for the inhabitants of Mae Sot: "The main part of the moving schools scheme that challenges other education school building aid projects is the ability of the design to be deconstructed and move to a new site and leave no trace while bestowing on its users a sense of permanence when it is in its fully constructed form," the organisation explains.
The international contest was won by architects Amadeo Bennetta and Daniel LaRossa from Berkeley, California, whose dynamic bamboo-clad concept triumphed over scores of inventive entries. This creative submission incorporates a prefabricated, adaptable framework and heavy-duty, waterproof fabric with a series of bamboo panels, utilising local craftsmanship to enhance the sustainability of the scheme. The design is astonishingly flexible as its flat-pack form can be erected in any location as a courtyard school, single building or independent units, which vastly widens the scope of the community to relocate elsewhere.
Work now begins with community leaders, other aid agencies and Kwe Ka Baung School to refine the design through a detailed planning and fabrication period. In order to minimise disruption to the children's education, construction is due to begin in the summer holidays (beginning May/June 2012) ready for the students' return in the 2012/13 school year.
Sustainable design initiatives are paramount in all the development of all permanent education facilities and this concept is no anomaly. Recycled materials will be woven into the design, natural drainage and water collection systems put in place, and natural ventilation integrated throughout.
Building Trust International received such a high standard of architectural designs to its Moving Schools competition that it is now looking to source additional funding to realise a handful of the ten world class concepts entered and is in talks with the headmasters of other Mae Sot schools whose students are suffering from below-par school buildings. It is early days for this project and there is still much work to be done, however the sustainability of this flexible model indicates a new dawn for education in developing communities with architects channelling their talents into finding effective, eco-friendly solutions for those less fortunate.

Hunting for quirky gifts for the obsessed comic fan or sci-fi/fantasy geek on your holiday gift list? Pegasus Books in downtown Bend is a nerd-tastic treasure house brimming with collector toys, comic books, Euro-style board games, sports cards, Japanese manga and graphic novels.
Owner Duncan McGeary seems to still be enjoying himself after more than thirty years in the funny book business, leaning against the counter beneath an Iron Man mask grinning from a shelf crammed with toys and figurines.
Packed into his thousand-square-foot printed emporium are more than 60,000 comics, 8,000 graphics novels and 7,000 new and used books with a couple hundred board games tossed in for good measure. It's an impressive cornucopia of pop culture for any world-class city, let alone Bend, Oregon.
"I could use five times this much space," he joked. "I try to be as creative as possible and carry as much product as I can because that's what makes a successful store. It's a lot of eye candy. People might not buy the candy but it puts them in the mood."
Half of Pegasus' sales are comic books and graphic novels, broken down to 65 percent comics and 35 percent graphic novels. Nearly all the comics are new, refreshed constantly, a seemingly Herculean task considering the crazy collage of so many comic titles and monthly books.
"Pegasus has been around Bend for 33 years, originally on Greenwood and moved to its current location in 1983," he said. "I worked at the store in 1980 and bought the store from Mike Richardson of Dark Horse Comics, who went back to Portland. It started out as a comics and sci-fi store and it's morphed into a whole pop culture shop but I'm trying hard to change it into what I consider an eclectic book store, including comics."
The store is stuffed to the light fixture with Magic The Gathering cards, World of Warcraft toys, Star Wars and HALO figurines and shelves of books on zombies, vampires, space aliens, steampunk and familiar titles from the kaleidoscope of characters in the DC and Marvel comic realms.
With comic store reality shows like AMC's Comic Book Men on TV and rare comics grabbing monster bids in luxury auction houses, what was once considered frivolous reading is knocking on the hallowed doors of fine art.
"I'm not into collector pricing because I'm in a downtown tourist zone and have unique enough material. Customers see I've made a lot of effort to carry all this stuff and they reward me by buying. I have a helluva selection of graphic novels, board games and anime and make a real effort to carry the best stuff. When you stock foreign comics or art comics, they may not sell fast but they have their own following and give the store a certain level of prestige."
McGeary thinks the latest storm of superhero movies like The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and Watchmen have given comics added credibility and kept them alive but it doesn't automatically turn people into readers.
"About five years ago I had the idea to bring in more of the new wave of euro-style board games like Settler of Cataan and Ticket To Ride as a sort of gaming gateway drug and they really took off because I play them and love them. I do well with hip stuff that's word of mouth. Once it's turned into mass market retail then it cools off."
To help keep the wheels on this wild wagon, McGeary has recruited and hired a cool, capable geek squad of Cameron Saunders, Matt Funk and Jasper Hedron for Pegasus Books.
"I have great guys that work for me and they truly love it," he said. "They have great attitudes and they're fresh and all into this stuff. They're more cutting edge than I am and have a wider net online than I do."
Manager Cameron Saunders has been with Pegasus for three years and is confident comics will continue to be the biggest focus for them.
"The greatest part of working here is the people," he said. "My conversations with customers are sometimes the highlight of my day. The store isn't exactly a hangout spot but it's certainly a social experience. The holidays are a great opportunity to get kids to read. And for adults it's really never too late. There are comics and stories out there for everyone."
Cameron adds that board games make an excellent present and capitalize on team spirit and family togetherness inherent in the colder months.
Looking around the colorful room, McGeary believes he's stayed in business because he made all the mistakes in the first twenty.
"My store is arranged in such a way that it matches the location I'm at very nicely. I've done better the past four or five years than my whole life. But I think I finally am at the point where I have the right mix of product and experience at a good location. Diversification is a big deal and it's not easy to have five different product lines where you're a credible supplier. If you have that diversity you have the flexibility to deal with whatever economic event happens and survive. It took me forever to get there."
When asked how much longer he'll be around, McGeary smiles.
"Well I have a new lease I'm about to sign that will push me another six and a half years so after that who knows. It's still fun for me and who wants to sit at home when I can be surrounded by all this amazing stuff and meet interesting people. This is probably the easiest job in existence."
Pegasus Books, 105 NW Minnesota Avenue, Bend, 541-388-4588.

Some new wool & alpaca shawls showing where the colour inspiration comes from. You can find more details in my shop. Mostly sold out now!
Thank you to every body who came to visit me at the Meet Your Maker Event at the Haining, over the weekend. It was lovely to see so many enthusiastic people wanting to learn to weave! The youngest was 2 years and 9 months ( helped by her aunt!) and the oldest used to work in the Selkirk woollen mills many years ago. It was lovely to meet you all. Here are a few memories of the weekend.
I have just completed the Craft Scotland's ' Meet Your Maker ' weekend in St Andrews Museum. It was great fun meeting people of all ages and showing them how to weave on a table loom. I shared the space with Sean and Christine from Butter Wynd Pottery who make beautiful pots and plates from local Fife clay. I learnt a thing or two about pottery making as well! It was a great opportunity to share our craft skills. Here are a few photographs of the weekend's events.
I am taking part in Craft Scotland's 'Meet Your Maker' event on the weekend of 7th – 8th September 2013, at St Andrews Museum in Fife.
Eight different venues across Scotland will be show casing the work of 14 different craft makers. It's a chance to meet the makers and learn about their inspirations, design process and techniques behind their craft. I will be demonstrating weaving and visitors (both young and old) will be able to have a go for for themselves.
Look forward to seeing you there!

Cosmetic dentistry methods can enhance your personality to a great extent and restore the specific aspects of oral health. For instance, dental fillings treatment used to treat decayed teeth. It has now become an important part of aesthetic oral treatment. Dentistry professionals make use of dental equipment such as scalpels, hoes and files, etc. Teeth related problems like teeth pigmentation, wisdom teeth removal, etc. are very bothersome concerns faced by several people.
People suffering from dental issues might develop psychological issues. There are several clinics in Australia set up to provide suitable solutions for teeth related issues. You can consult dentistry professionals, who will provide you with valuable suggestions and right treatment for your problem.
People, who are facing with teeth related issues, should take a trip to their nearest clinic to get your problem solved as early as possible. If they avoid their teeth related issues, then it will simply aggravate their problem. At clinics, professionals execute dental probes of patients, before they recommend any medicine or treatment.
Dental probes are undertaken so as to suggest a suitable therapy plan to patient. Dentistry X-rays are also used sometimes to know about patient's problem. Different types of X-rays are used depending on, what section of teeth or mouth needs to be diagnosed.
Dentistry professionals can carry out dental surgery or treatment, only if the patient gives permission to do so. If you want to enhance your dental health & appearance of your smile, you can opt for smile makeover treatment. This type of cosmetic dental surgery can be considered as a combination of art & dental science. It offers various types of solutions like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, etc.
After the treatment, you should take time to master your oral care. You should follow good oral hygiene at home as it will keep teeth related issues at bay. If at all, any problem arises, then make sure you visit your dentist as soon as possible.
For more refined details about dental implants in Melbourne, teeth replacement and all on 4 treatments, you can surf various websites and online portals on the Internet.

Even before its $1 billion acquisition of Instagram, Facebook was home to more than 60 billion photos and was adding about 250 million more each day.
But what if those photos — even your photos — could lead people to identity you offline?
Last year, a Carnegie Mellon University researcher conducted an experiment by "connecting the dots" in people's digital lives via off-the-shelf facial-recognition software. The researcher, Alessandro Acquisiti, was able to match subjects whose photos were posted on a dating site to their profile photos on Facebook.
He searched dating sites for users within 50 miles of a ZIP code and correlated them with approximately 110,000 Facebook profiles of users who also lived in that same area. Within 15 hours he was able to positively identify 10% of the users on online dating sites, according to Acquisiti, and narrowing the geographic area increased the match rate.
Even scarier, Acquisti discovered he could correctly guess Social Security numbers 28% of the time within four tries.
"The goal here is not to generate fear, but we are very close to a point where the convergence of technologies will make it possible for online and offline data to blend seamlessly…and for strangers on the street to predict certain information about you from your picture," Acquisti said.
He and his team also built a smartphone app to demonstrate "augmented reality," using both offline and online data to overlay personal and private information over the target's face on the device's screen.
"The seamless merging of online and offline data that face recognition and social media make possible raises the issue of what privacy will mean in an augmented reality world," Acquisti said.

based on Baya Weaver bird nests, where male birds build elaborate anthropomorphic nests that I've transformed into the human generative body. Once the nest is built, the male attracts a female, mates and settles her into his nest. He then moves to his "bachelor nest", a half constructed nest, to lure another female for mating. Once she is attracted, he completes the nest and mates again.

The fur supply chain is truly global. In 2012 PwC Italy valued the global fur trade at over US$40b.
Around 1m people are employed full time within the fur sector and many more on a part-time or seasonal basis.
In 2013-14, 87.2 million mink pelts were produced globally with a total value of €3.7bn. There were also 7.78m fox pelts with a value of more than €880m.
The majority of exporting fur farms are located in Europe and North America and wild fur is produced in North America and Russia.
By far the biggest exporter of fur is Europe, and the biggest importer of fur is China. Demand for fur has remained stable in the traditional markets throughout the international economic downturn, and demand is growing not only in China but also in Korea, Ukraine and South America.

Lower Midnight
Wendy Wimmer
Some believed the whole island was haunted, stem to stern, from the top of Lighthouse Hill to the bottom of Shubrick Point. One little lighthouse keeper's house was nothing compared to the constant ripping of flesh from bone just off the shore. It was a violent place. There was that female skeleton found inside Great Murre Cave, resting as though she'd stopped for a nap a hundred or a thousand years ago. The naturalists tell me this on my third day, matter-of-factly, while we're anchored fifty feet off the cave, waiting for a white shark to come back to finish its freshly-killed sea lion. The air smells like the dumpster of a Long John Silver's and globs of blubber float serenely past my side of the boat. I'm a scientist now, I have to keep reminding myself, and focus on this one-in-a-million opportunity. We're floating some hundred feet above barrels filled with nuclear waste sunk by the U.S. army in the '50s and I'm supposed to be recording minutia about one of the world's greatest alpha predators doing their sharky thing. Instead I'm wondering if the woman from Great Murre Cave isn't the lady's voice I heard while trying to get back to sleep last night at 4:26 a.m.
The room where I sleep is at the top of the stairs and to the left. There are three people sharing the room across the hall. I thought it had been nice that they gave me private accommodations, a welcoming gesture. In the '60s, an intern painted Barbarella on the inside of the bedroom door, and even though the homage had been mercifully painted an institutional brown in the '70s, we still called it the Jane room. Even people who stay in the Jane room call it "the Jane room" instead of "my room." It's just what you do. A hundred years ago, at least one of the lighthouse keeper's children died of diphtheria on the island. Probably not in the Jane room, they all tell me, nodding.
What you don't know about this place is that the Cassin's auklets burrow into the rocks and right after those weird little seabirds come back from hunting after sunset, they fill the island with a terrible roller coaster of sound. It's like a thousand lunatics getting high off of helium. Every night I convince myself that sleep is impossible, but then bolt wide-awake sometime later. The clock always says 4:26 a.m. The auklets are gone but instead I hear the asthmatic rasps of a dying child in Jane's room. I mentally sing '70s sitcom theme songs because it's impossible to be afraid while humming Welcome Back, Kotter. Even still, the room gets damp and cold. I'm not sure if I'm hearing ethereal whispers or just the mice trying to dig through my duffel for the last of my PowerBars. I am a scientist, I remind myself. It's the mice. Of course it's the mice. It sounds like they are scritching out my name. They accuse me of not doing well enough in high school geometry, of being such a pretty face, of never really sitting up straight. And that's when I usually hear that lady's voice. Sadness. Ice water. A feeling of being strangled.
In the morning, over almond milk and Kashi, I laugh, telling my fellow scientists about the voice and the chill. I ask them which of the three across the hall has been hiding the smoker's hack. The DNR guy asks me if I'm sleeping in "that damn Jane Fonda room" and then says simply "Yup, that's why. Damned ghost."
Until the damned DNR guy said that, I realize that I had been hoping for a new nickname. Superstitious Nancy or maybe something like Newbie Pansy. A nickname would have been nice. Congenial hazing or something.
That day in the boat, a 20-foot white shark splashes us with her tail. In the spray, for just a moment, I swear I see a figure standing at the base of Great Murre Cave. This time, I don't say anything to my fellow scientists. No answer is a good answer. A fine answer in fact. I hum the Kotter theme song because it seems like the right thing to do.
At night, at 4:28 a.m. I look out the Jane room's window and see shapes fly past, white shapes that seem more liquid than bird. There is a high-pitched wheeze in the darkness, more urgent now than before, somewhere near the closet. Someone needs to get that poor baby to the doctor, I think, but where. Where? Outside, a face looks up at me. She's beautiful and strange and she waves to me.
Welcome back, she says, well come back.

( Dress - Vesper Dresses -Here/ Clutch - Mango/ Strap Heels - Zara)
I'm sure you have seen this dress in a few of my posts, when I received it I wanted to wear it to EVERYTHING. Purple is not a colour I would usually pick, but this shade is so darn good and pretty. The best thing about it is obviously the structure, just the right amount of cut out's, length and the shape is to die for. I love it when I find a dress that I don't say "I can only wear this once" with, this is so chic and minimal I could also wear it to more formal events. Speaking of events, I am getting ready for tonight's launch party and the weather has decided to go all out with gale force winds, be safe lovers.

AC Milan take on Juventus in the Italian Serie A in what is a must-win game for both the sides on 9 April at the San Siro in Milan.
Where to watch live
Kick-off is set for 7.45pm BST. Live coverage of the game in the UK is available on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport 1 HD.
Juventus will look to continue their fine form in the Italian Serie A when they visit AC Milan at the San Siro on 9 April in the Italian Serie A. The hosts are coming into this game not having won since February, losing two of their last four matches including a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Atlanta last Sunday, which leaves them 14 points behind third-placed AS Roma.
Pressure is on coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, whose side is currently in sixth place in the Serie A table. They are almost out of the running for a top-three finish and a return to the Uefa Champions League and are trailing city rivals Inter Milan by six points in the race for fifth and a guaranteed berth in the Uefa Europa League.
Milan desperately need a win here as a loss could end Mihajlovic's reign as coach with reports emerging that he could face the sack.
Their opponents Juventus, on the other hand, are on a 21-game undefeated streak in the league and are six points ahead of second-placed Napoli in the race for the Serie A title. What has been impressive about the Old Lady is that despite losing out in the Champions League, they have not let it distract them from going out and winning games in the Serie A.
A win against Milan will put the Bianconeri nine points clear of Napoli in the title race and one step closer towards their fifth consecutive Italian Serie A title. Key striker Paulo Dybala is expected to miss the game through injury.

Can you hide your excitement over camouflage ice cream?
As a member of the media, I feel a responsibility to break this news gently to avoid a stampede in certain quarters. So let's take it in two, easy-to-digest bites:
1. Texas' Blue Bell ice cream will return to Charlotte-area stores Monday.
And 2. They're returning in time to debut the newest flavor, Camo 'N Cream. Yes, as in camouflage ice cream.
I told you: Try to stay calm. No, Blue Bell didn't set out to make a camouflage-themed ice cream. When your company has fought its way back from a very bad outbreak of listeria contamination that shut down the entire brand, you should proceed carefully before allowing people to make you the target of jokes.
So how did they come up with this? Apparently, the research and development team at Texas-based Blue Bell spends a lot of time coming up with flavor combinations (these are the people behind the cult-followed Banana Split flavor. after all). According to a Blue Bell spokesperson, someone came up with the idea to combine chocolate, pistachio almond and cream cheese-flavored ice creams. But when they put it together, they couldn't help noticing the resemblance to a certain green/brown/gray combination that gets particularly popular during hunting season. Or New York Fashion Week: Our style editor, Helen Schwab, notes that Kanye West's Yeezy Season 4 collection included camouflage on one of the few fully clothed models.
When we opened a half-gallon of the ice cream, we wondered at first why they didn't call it Camo Swirl. The three flavors are twirled in an affect that looks a bit like Dorothy's first steps on the Yellow Brick Road, if she had started her journey in Kansas during dove-hunting season. But indeed, if you take an ice cream scoop and drag it across the top of the ice cream, the scoop you create does look a bit like the camo combination.
How does it taste? If you're a fan of pistachio pudding, you'll recognize the flavor of the green ice cream. Big chunks of very crunchy almonds give it welcome texture. The chocolate is milk chocolate, a bit bland for our tastes. But the real winner here is the cream: Cream cheese ice cream, it turns out, has a tang that's a little like Greek yogurt turned into ice cream, and it balances the other two flavors nicely.
Flipping through cake-order books at small-town bakeries, like the Sweet Shop in Albemarle, we have been surprised to find out that there is a demand for camouflage-themed cakes. So it's good to know there is now an ice cream to go with them. The price ranges from $7.29 to $7.59 per half-gallon.
Blue Bell's many flavors, including Camo 'N Cream, should be in supermarkets all around the area starting soon. Something tells us the Camo 'N Cream won't be hard to spot.

Somehow I got away from drawing and painting this past year. I'm not sure how that happens other than I don't seem to have enough hours in the day. I'm sure many of you can relate.
I've decided to make time now and then to at least draw. These are my first two of many yet to come, I hope. A watercolor workshop group I belong to on Yahoo posts an image every month for artists to paint using watercolors. I haven't taken part in the monthly painting challenge since I have only been a member for a short time, but just going through the site inspires me to paint. It is fun to see how each artist interprets the same image differently. I think it will be fun to play and try different styles and techniques and loosen up a bit from my realistic style. The baby shoes below are drawn using their December challenge image. I think it will be fun to try painting them next.

I've been staring at these browser tabs and have been meaning to post on GM's green data center efforts.
Here is the official GM press release. They focused on LEED.
GM's LEED Gold Data Center Drives IT Efficiency
Fri, Sep 13 2013
WARREN, Mich. – A flywheel for battery-free backup power and in-row cooling that reduces the need for electricity contribute to a 70 percent reduction in energy use at General Motors' world-class Enterprise Data Center, which has earned Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, program.
Fewer than 5 percent of data centers in the U.S. achieve LEED certification, according to the building council. GM's data hub on its Technical Center campus in this Detroit suburb is the company's fifth LEED-certified facility and second brownfield project.
Arstechnica does a much better job of telling a story.
Waterfalls and flywheels: General Motors' new hyper-green data center
Ars gets a look inside at the first GM-owned data center in nearly 20 years.
WARREN, Michigan—General Motors has gone through a major transformation since emerging from bankruptcy three years ago. Now cashflow-positive, the company is in the midst of a different transformation—a three-year effort to reclaims its own IT after 20 years of outsourcing.
Here are few more details.
Building a cloud, under one roof
The first step in that transformation, Liedel said, was converting everyone running its IT operations to GM employees. Next came centralizing control over the company's widely-scattered IT assets.
So far, three of the company's 23 legacy data centers have been rolled into the new Warren data center. That's eliminated a significant chunk of the company's wide-area network costs. "We have 8,000 engineers at (Vehicle Engineering Center) here," Liedel said. And those engineers are pushing around big chunks of data—the "math" for computer-aided design, computer aided manufacturing, and a wide range of high-performance computing simulations
And. GM chose flywheels.
Almost no batteries required
Aside from its energy efficiency, GM's Warren Data Center picks up green cred in the way it handles its emergency power. Instead of using an array of lead-acid batteries to provide current in the event of an interruption of power, the data center is equipped with uninterruptible power supplies from Piller that use 15,000 pound flywheels spinning at 3,300 revolutions per minute.

MWC 2016 Post Mortem: Where Mobile's Not Everything
It's been customary for me to make the yearly pilgrimage to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress (MWC) for what feels like a decade. It's one of the few mobile shows where real business happens — deals get signed, partnerships blossom, and more importantly, sets the stage for where the mobile business is headed for the rest of the year. It still surprises me how many people in the Valley who are focused in mobile don't participate. As someone who not only lives and breathes the mobile ecosystem but has built a marketing agency around it, not attending isn't even a consideration. Year after year it's proven to be a worthwhile investment.
Anyway, enough about that, GSMA is not paying me to do their PR. On the business front, there were many hot topics people were talking about — mainly security, 5G, virtual reality and the devices we play with everyday. VR/AR in particular really dominated this show — Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg outfitted an entire auditorium hall making a picture tell a story like nothing we've seen in a long time. The Dystopian Future we all read about in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World has finally arrived.
On a lighter note, but just as creepy, I got the chance to talk with "Pepper", a robot assistant. The brainchild of Aldebaran (a Softbank company) I couldn't help but want to reach out and give it a hug. I tried to chat with it, but as you can see in my video, Pepper might need a hearing aid. Everything presented at MWC, regardless of the type of product, all about connected devices, showing how smart they are, and how easily you're going to adapt to them. You could even hear it in Pepper's voice — filling a void for loneliness or companionship. In essence, devices like these continue to push our boundaries and emotions, even our comfort zones. They offer a brand new way to experience life, but also take away from part of our humanity.
Hope to see you in Barcelona in 2017.

Brooklyn Roots Veterinary Hospital Green Practices
The practice of medicine is not typically an ecological endeavor. The need for sterility in our supplies and surfaces often require the use of plastics and chemicals. In order to minimize our environmental impact we have chosen to keep as many green practices as possible.
In keeping with this goal, we stock re-sterilizable medical supplies even when disposable options are more cost-effective. Our washing machine is high efficiency and our laundry detergent, hand soap, hospital surface and floor cleaners are supplied by Ecolab. We have hand dryers and cloth towels in our bathrooms and kitchenette. The water cooler is bottle-less and we supply glasses rather than plastic cups.
In addition, our windows have energy-saving solar shades installed. We have chosen to offer tote bags in place of plastic bags, and our pet waste bags are compostable. In all these ways, and in others, we will continually strive to be an asset to our community, both locally and globally.
