Water costs continue to rise. However, smart landscape design and simple watering habits can significantly reduce a home's utility bills. By planning now, homeowners can save hundreds of dollars and thousands of gallons of water this summer, and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) recommends the following steps for a water-saving garden makeover:
Start Early. Plan ahead so that all new plantings take place in the spring. It keeps you out of the summer heat and plants require much less water to get situated compared to the warmer months.
Go Native. When deciding what to install in your yard, consider native and drought-resistant plants. They typically require less maintenance and little watering once established (sometimes none at all).
Must Mulch. Use compost when planting and cover the area with mulch afterwards. Compost helps keep the water by the plant's roots and mulch prevents evaporation. Make sure to leave some space around the base of each plant and resist creating mulch mounds around plants and trees.
Less Lawn. The average American uses 200 gallons per day watering their lawn. Consider replacing some of that grass with an attractive groundcover which is drought-resistant, covers a large area, and requires zero mowing.
Super Soak. Up to a third of all water from sprinklers can evaporate during the heat of the day. Instead, give your plants fewer, heavy soakings. If you must use sprinklers, only use them in the morning.
Grey is Good. Recapturing grey water or rainwater can provide a free source of garden irrigation. These systems can be easily installed and even incorporated into irrigation systems.
Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip irrigation systems water plants right at the root and serve as an efficient alternative to sprinkler systems. Be sure to get a timer for maximum effectiveness.
There are many ways to significantly reduce utility bills through landscape design. For more information, please visit www.asla.org.

Air Plants' Favorite Subject? Geometry
Air plants are fun because they can be displayed in a variety of containers to suit any style. The formal lines of geometric planters contrast especially nicely with the curved lines of air plants' unusual foliage. Also called tillandsia, air plants aren't limited to a single season. They grow all year long and are virtually impossible to kill. Just give them a good soaking once or twice a week, depending on your climate, and they'll look healthy and beautiful in your geometric container.
Fun fact: As their name implies, air plants get their nutrients and moisture from dust and decaying matter that circulates through the air, using hairy appendages called trichomes.

The full details of both new paid channels below:
RLJ Entertainment Launching Channels Under the "Acorn TV" and Urban-Focused "OnCue" brands
BETHESDA, MD – May 9, 2013 – RLJ Entertainment Inc., (NASDAQ: RLJE), created by Robert L. Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) and The RLJ Companies, today announced the launch of two paid channels on YouTube under the "Acorn TV" and "OnCue" brands. RLJ Entertainment is a leading creator, owner and distributor of media content across digital, broadcast and physical platforms, which leverages its branding expertise, access to content and direct to consumer skills to optimize the value of its programs for distinct audiences. RLJ Entertainment was formed in October 2012 through the business combination of RLJ Acquisition, Inc., Image Entertainment, Inc. and Acorn Media Group, Inc.
As with RLJ Entertainment's existing Acorn TV digital channel, the YouTube version (www.youtube.com/AcornTV) will provide viewers with access to the best of British TV with a variety of unique, specially-curated content for consumers who have interest in high quality British TV programs. Content will include the ever popular pastoral mystery Midsomer Murders, Iain Glen (Game of Thrones) starring in the new series Jack Taylor, engaging comedy drama Honest with Amanda Redman, David Suchet (Poirot) in the fantasy series Going Postal, the Royal Shakespeare Company's master acting class starring Judi Dench, Patrick Stewart, and Ben Kingsley in Playing Shakespeare, and many others.
OnCueNetwork is RLJ Entertainment's newest digital channel, offering selected urban themed programming, to include original content, that features some of today's most recognized African American and minority talent. OnCueNetwork (www.youtube.com/oncuenetwork) will provide viewers with an alternative to conventional subscription-based channels by showcasing the best digital films and series, in action, drama, romantic comedies, as well as stand-up comedy, documentaries, music and stage plays.

Johnson, Chairman of RLJ Entertainment. "This announcement marks the beginning of RLJE's goal to become a major player in producing targeted digital entertainment to audiences that are underserved by existing outlets.

One of the great benefits of having your own garden is having fresh, homegrown fruits and vegetables to enjoy whenever you want. Growing techniques will differ depending on what food you're growing as well as where you live. We've put together a few general tips on how to grow tomatoes, harvest tomatoes and even how to can tomatoes.
A Beginners Guide to Growing, Harvesting & Canning Tomatoes
How to Grow Tomatoes
- Decide on seeds or transplants. Seeds are the most cost-effective way to grow tomatoes, however, they are also the most time-consuming. If you decide to start your tomato garden from seeds, start them indoors about 10 weeks before the last frost. Although transplants may cost a little more, they will produce tomatoes much quicker than growing from seeds. So if you've procrastinated on setting up your garden, you might need to purchase a vine and transplant it into your garden.
- Find a good location and time it right. Your tomato plants need at least 6 hours of sunlight each day to grow. If you're going to plant them in a garden on the ground, you'll want to find a location where the soil drains well and your plants will get the proper amount of sunlight. You'll want to check with your local grower to see what time of year is the best time to plant your tomatoes. Usually, it will be around the end of spring when the soil is typically warmer.
- Transplant your tomato plants. Once you're ready to transplant your tomato plants into your outdoor garden, you'll need to dig a hole for each plant that's big enough to house about 2/3 of the plant. Next, mix fertilizer into the soil at the bottom of the hole. Then place the tomato plant into the hole and fill in the rest with soil. Give it plenty of water.
- Baby your tomatoes. Keep an eye on your tomato plants and make sure to water them every day. If it is going to be cold, put a container over each plant at night.
How to Harvest Tomatoes
- Most tomatoes should be picked when they have an even, glossy color. Note that some tomatoes will be ripe before they turn to their full color, but you should still pick them as long as they feel smooth and waxy. Look for tomatoes that are firm, but not too hard.
- If you pick tomatoes that are not quite ripe, no problem! Arrange them in a single layer in a cool, dark room or drawer. Check them periodically each day for any signs of damage. Get rid of any tomatoes that are damaged so that they will not rot the healthy fruit.
How To Can Tomatoes
Canning tomatoes is a great way to store tomatoes that you aren't going to use for awhile. If you have a pressure canner kit, simply follow the directions that came with the kit. Otherwise, follow the steps below to learn how to can tomatoes.
- Sanitize your quart jars and lids, either by hand or in the dishwasher.
- Fill a canner (or another large pot) halfway with water, put the lid on, and turn on the heat (you will return to this pot during step 9).
- On another burner, fill a pot with one quart of water and bring to a boil (you will pour this water into the tomato jars in step 7).
- On another burner, boil a shallow pot of water and add the lids. You want to boil the lids for several minutes and then remove them from the pot.
- Remove the skins and bruises from the tomatoes.
- Fill your jars with the tomatoes, within ¼" of the top of the jar. You can either leave them whole, or cut them into halves, quarters, or even smaller chunks.
- Add two tablespoons of lemon juice to each jar. Pour water into the jar (from step 3) to within ½" of the rim. Give the jar a tap on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Wipe around the rim of the jars to be sure they are clean, then put the lids and rings snugly onto the jars.
- Place the jars in the pot (from step 2), making sure they do not touch each other or the pot. Make sure there is at least 1″ of water above the jars and continue to boil the water for 45 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the pot and set them on a counter to cool. As they seal, you will hear the lids "pop".

LONG ISLAND, NY, December 13, 2010 — When Robert Marsh, president of New York-based retailer I DJ NOW, got a rush request from the design producer of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" for a quality handheld wireless system for the show's Long Island home renovation, Marsh knew right away that the answer was Shure. He recommended a Shure PG24/PG58 Wireless Handheld System for the karaoke stage to be installed in the family's home.
"I explained to the producer how our sales staff consistently receive positive responses from our customers about the Shure system," says Marsh. "So, I was confident that this was her best choice among the other options."
The custom-designed karaoke room was part of a complete renovation of the home of Kathleen Lutz and her six siblings, who all have Down syndrome. The family's home was badly in need of repairs, so the "Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition" crew of more than 1,000 contractors, construction workers, and volunteers stepped in to demolish the house and replace it with a custom designed home in less than a week. One of the highlights was the karaoke room, because the entire family loves music and enjoys performing together.
Marsh and his team from I DJ NOW provided lighting and sound equipment to the production and worked around the clock to successfully install the home karaoke studio in less than 24 hours.
"The elaborate stage had to have wireless handhelds. I knew the Shure PG58 would be the perfect finishing touch, and it was," Marsh adds. "The Shure mics gave the studio a top-notch, professional look and sound."
"We're so pleased that Shure could play a small role in making a difference in the life of this family," says Shure President and CEO Sandy LaMantia. "As a Company, we're proud to have been part of making the Lutz family's musical dreams come true."

By mid-November, less than 50 percent of the High Plains cotton crop was "off the stalk," according to Texas Extension cotton specialist Randy Boman, of Lubbock. But a hard freeze last weekend was expected to move the crop closer to finish.
"A large part of the irrigated cotton is out of the field," Boman said, "but many farmers were waiting on a killing freeze to terminate the crop. A lot of growers were waiting on that cold snap instead of spending more money on harvest aids."
Boman said the 2003 crop will be one many producers are anxious to forget. "In Lubbock, we had .39 inches of rain in July and August," he said. "That's the lowest on record since 1911."
He said September rainfall "got things cranked back up and we had regrowth that was hard to control with harvest aides."
Hail played havoc with significant acreage in the High Plains as well. Boman says spring storms wiped out about 1.4 million acres of cotton across the region. Farmers replanted some 300,000 acres late, in mid-June.
"Net loss at that time was approximately 1.1 million acres," he said. "The July and August drought also took out some of the dryland crop. And then hail hit again in September and October, taking out or badly damaging, another 150,000 acres.
"Precise numbers are still difficult to get," Boman said, "but we're probably up to 1.2 to 1.3 million acres lost from this year's crop."
Texas Agricultural Statistics Service estimates indicate a 3.6 million-acre crop planted in the High Plains region, compared to 3.7 million last year. Boman said harvested acres will be closer to 2.4 million.
"We've easily lost more than 1 million bales of cotton," he said. "Production estimates show a 2.04 million bale crop. Last year we made 3.25 million bales, so that's close to a 1.25 million bale loss."
Boman said the crop north of Lubbock was hit hard by weather. "But we could see some record or near record yields south of Lubbock, in Gaines County, for instance. Some farmers with good irrigation will beat their personal bests."
He said quality of early harvested cotton has been surprisingly good. By Nov. 20, some 800,000 bales had made it through the classing office. Boman said color rating was mostly 11s and 21s.
"Staple is steadily improving over time. The short fibers come in first, mostly from the beat up fields. Average has been 34 or so and could get higher on some days. Strength has been around 29 grams per tex. Leaf grades have been around 2. That's fantastic."
Boman said micronaire has been a concern. "We're probably going to see some high mike from early harvest, as much as 20 percent in the discount range. We hope that will moderate as we get in more cotton from north of Lubbock."
He said bark has been almost non-existent. "We may see more from later harvest, but a timely harvest, finishing by late December, should produce a crop with no substantial bark problems."
Boman said the 2003 crop brought some surprises.
"I was amazed at how some dryland cotton turned out," he said. 'It's pretty surprising what some fields made even though they didn't get any rain during the growing season. Cotton is a tough plant and if we can get it established it never ceases to amaze me what it can do."
He said farmers also learned some valuable lessons from this disastrous season.
"Early in the season, some producers had fields that were so beaten up they were inclined to abandon the crop. But some left it and saw how resilient cotton can be. A lot of it came back and made reasonable yields and good quality.
"We also found out that we can get by with much fewer seeds per acre than we are used to. Farmers used to plant considerably more seed when seed was cheap, but we know we can get by with one to one-and-one-half plants per foot of row. With a thin stand, we've learned that it's better to keep it than replant. The two to three weeks we lose when we replant may cost more than taking the thin stand to harvest."
Boman said farmers can use lessons from the 2003 season in their 2004 planning.
"This year we saw farmers plant a lot of acreage into terminated small grains and those fields seemed to survive the adverse weather better than crops planted on bare soil."
He said planting in terminated small grain cover will not shield seedling cotton from severe damage in a devastating hailstorm.
"But a lot of cotton that survived was in terminated cover. That was a significant benefit for many producers."
The system works best for farmers with irrigation, he said. "Dryland producers can't afford to use limited moisture for a cover crop."
Boman said 2003 is a year he and many others will be glad to have behind them. "It's been a tough year."

BUY ENALAPRIL NO PRESCRIPTION, I get to be sequestered with a bunch of other basketball writers for two days next week for the NCAA mock selection seminar, where we get to play the basketball tournament selection committee and put together a 65-team bracket.
As a bracketology nerd, ENALAPRIL natural, ENALAPRIL no rx, I'm looking forward to it.
So I've been doing my homework the last few weeks and I realized, where can i find ENALAPRIL online, Real brand ENALAPRIL online, as I started to put together the teams I felt deserved an at-large bid, there weren't a lot of no-argument teams out there, online ENALAPRIL without a prescription. ENALAPRIL for sale, It's something I've learned in putting together my weekly AP ballot. Ranking the top 12 is easy, ENALAPRIL dangers, Australia, uk, us, usa, trying to find quality teams to fill out the rest of the poll becomes difficult.
Which is why this talk of expanding the NCAA field to 96 teams is an incredibly bad idea, BUY ENALAPRIL NO PRESCRIPTION.
There are two forces driving the expansion talk:
• The NCAA's desire to open up the bidding for television coverage for the tournament and:
• Coaches who want more tournament teams to help save jobs, ENALAPRIL without a prescription. ENALAPRIL coupon, I've argued in this space before about a slight expansion of the tournament — go to 68 teams, have eight play in a centrally located arena (Indianapolis, ENALAPRIL over the counter, Herbal ENALAPRIL, St. Louis, ENALAPRIL reviews, ENALAPRIL description, Kansas City or Minneapolis) on the Tuesday before the first weekend of the tournament, and have the four winners advance, buy ENALAPRIL no prescription. ENALAPRIL price, coupon, The eight teams would be competing to be No. BUY ENALAPRIL NO PRESCRIPTION, 13 seeds in the tournament, which would allow the one-bid teams from the small conferences get to play somewhere on the first weekend, instead of the current setup where two teams — always small-conference schools — play in Dayton for the right to be the 16th seed and fodder for some No. 1 seed on the first Friday, order ENALAPRIL from United States pharmacy. ENALAPRIL from canada, By expanding the tournament to 96 teams, it would mean more games for TV, buying ENALAPRIL online over the counter, ENALAPRIL australia, uk, us, usa, and already it seems like there's interest. Reports today had ESPN (shocker) readying a bid, ENALAPRIL steet value, ENALAPRIL alternatives, as well as a combination CBS/Turner Sports bid being prepared.
The tournament's popularity began growing in the 1980s, comprar en línea ENALAPRIL, comprar ENALAPRIL baratos, ENALAPRIL forum, and exploded when it reached a 64-team format in 1985.
Adding more teams isn't going to add to the interest in the tournament, BUY ENALAPRIL NO PRESCRIPTION.
Essentially the early-round games will be nothing more than glorified NIT matchups, kjøpe ENALAPRIL på nett, köpa ENALAPRIL online. ENALAPRIL images, The NIT, of course, purchase ENALAPRIL, ENALAPRIL pharmacy, would also be put to its death.
Coaches, what is ENALAPRIL, ENALAPRIL results, of course, are embracing the concept, most likely because it will help save jobs.
I have had no sympathy in the past for major-conference teams who haven't made the tournament. BUY ENALAPRIL NO PRESCRIPTION, There are plenty of ways to get into the tournament now — put together a good nonconference resumé, do well in your conference, and as a last resort, win your conference tournament and the automatic bid that goes with it.
Mid-major coaches are supportive of the expansion, but there's no guarantee there are going to be more smaller schools in the tournament. And if we're sitting here a couple of years from now watching a tournament that has just about every Big Ten or Big East school, but the same number of Missouri Valley Conference and Atlantic-10 schools, the mid-major howling will be deafening.
The NCAA already has a rich TV deal with CBS, and it will be interesting to see how much more money the organization can get given the current economic climate.
The opinion today, from everyone who has weighed in, is that the tournament is already great, so why water it down. I can't argue with that.

FREDERICK, Md. – The York College men's lacrosse team captured their second straight Capital Athletic Conference win as the bested host Hood College 9-2 on Wednesday. The triumph boosts the Spartans' 2011 record to 6-2 and 2-0 in league play while the Blazers fall to 3-4 and 0-2 in the CAC.
Jimmy Langton, who is having a tremendous year in his first season with the Green and White, netted the game's first two goals to put York up 2-0. His first came with 9:41 to play in the first while his second, via a B.J. Blaker assist, came with 6:24 to go in the opening frame.
Blaker followed his helper with a goal of his own with 3:29 showing on the first quarter clock. The talented junior would prove to have an outstanding performance against the Blazers totaling four points on three goals and one assist.
Hood's Doug Brisbane halted York's three-goal opening spurt in the first period but the Spartans still held a 3-1 advantage after the first 15 minutes of play.
Remarkably, over the next 30 minutes – the second and third quarters combined – only two goals were scored as the Spartans were the beneficiaries of both. The Green and White's Josh Gamble tallied the lone second quarter goal while John Dubois registered the only score in the third frame. Those two tallies gave the visitors a solid 5-1 lead heading into the fourth.
For as quiet as the previous two periods had been, the fourth looked like an offensive explosion as the squads combined for five scores.
Hood's Kris Miner opened the scoring with 10:30 remaining, effectively cutting the Spartans' lead to 5-2. That three-goal advantage became four just 2:12 later as Blaker finished off a Dubois assist with 8:18 to play.
Blaker later gave York a 7-2 lead when tallied his third of the day with 3:22 remaining. Gamble and Dubois finished off the Spartan scoring with a pair of late goals to bring the final result to 9-2.
On the day, Langton leads the Green and White with 19 goals this season while Blaker's three bumps him to 14 on the year. Gamble's four points on two goals and two assists gives him a team-best 28 for the year. Dubois had two goals, one helper, and went 5-for-7 in face-offs while picking up a team-high six ground balls.
Goalkeeper Tyler Powell picks up the victory in the Spartan net as he made 12 saves, including five in the fourth quarter alone. His 60 minutes of solid work improves his 2011 mark to 6-2 on the season.
York returns to action on Saturday, March 26, when they host CAC foe Marymount (Va.) in a 1:00 pm contest.

|Knowledge Base - null zip codes merging as "0"s in WORD using file generated in Datatel
|by Alice Moore
|01/30/2006 (Software)
PROBLEM: When a download file is created from Datatel and is imported into excel as a CSV file, when you merge a numeric field that is null it prints as a zero. For example, a foreign student with no zip code, it prints a zero
SOLUTION: When a .CSV file is opened in excel, the fields come in as "general" format. Even if you try to change the column format to text or numeric in Excel, it still won't merge correctly. You must use the text import wizard to import the data and tell it is text data on the import, then the merge works correctly.

I had high hopes for the anime. I thought it would be dark like Darker than Black or Kara no Kyokai.
But, 2nd season just ruined it. Too much attention was paid on boobs and ripped knee high socks. 2nd season made Shikabane Hime look like an echchi anime. Inclusion of badly drawn character like Fresh with big boobs and a display of Makina's cute ass reinforces the fact. And, one guy was even sleeping with his Shikabane Hime lol
I didn't find a shred of evidence that Nozomi loved Ouri. She loved Makina and for the purpose of getting close to Makina, she pretended she liked him.
Ending was shit like everyone else has said. Not even gonna begin.....
I have a question about heaven ascension of Shikabane Himes - since they can't go to heaven, what happens to the likes of Makina? They don't age and live on forever? That's very sad if this is the case.

Watched the series... thought it was great, but the ending was really lame. I even checked out a little bit of the DVD only episode 13, only to find out it had nothing to do with the series.
I wish the manga was released more, but it seems to have stopped at vol 4. There's currently 13 volumes and it's ongoing.
Manga-updates usually has all the info you need for manga and whether or not they're still going or not.

Our only hope is behind Dynasty Scanlations, but the translator has been "busy" (aka dropped the project). He has claimed this on the forum for about over a year now...
Oh well, I got over it. I accepted the fact that there is internal resolve with the characters. I'll just imagine the two living happily ever after until the host (male protagonist) dies.

This review covers both seasons of the franchise; the second is a direct sequel to the first and equal in lameness… I mean quality … or the lack of it.
Two minutes in the first show and I could already see this as a Bleach wannabe with chicks with guns flavor. Ok, I could dig the premise, despite the silliness. Two episodes later I was more than sure it would be what I call a Swiss Cheese anime, that is a typical story with lots of plot holes. Being the average series it is, following the tired formula to the later it didn't manage to change my impression to the end … or the lack of it.
This show is a fine collection of "what can go wrong in a story". I will not praise any of its pluses because frankly it doesn't excel somewhere that any other similar anime hasn't already implemented many times before and most of the times in a more interesting or enjoyable way. So I will start by the things that ruined the show's attempt at being more than average at times.
1) Premise. It can more than easily be compared with Bleach, Noir, or any show that has ghost busters or chicks with guns. It is not original, nor does it manage to be any different or special in its implementation.
2) Animation. Sometimes tries to be horror, sometimes comedy, sometimes it is just a bunch of blobby cartoons doing nothing. It has no overall consistency or specific atmosphere, thus it fails to be scary or funny or … something specific.
3) Dialogues. They are stupid. Plus they keep force-feeding us what the characters are doing during every battle, because they treat us as brain dead idiots who can't figure out anything without it being spelled at us as it happens.
4) Dead time. Most of the duration of both seasons is a waste of time as there is no real progress, or further character immersion offered, or great brain dead action to consider it worthwhile.
5) Ending. It does not exist. No further explaining needed.
Here you go; a perfect formula to succeed at making a failed series.
And now some more in-depth analysis.
The animation is hit or miss most of times; at some points it looks great and at some others it is plain sloppy. The contrast between scenes with dark colors and mutated freaks next to silly scenes with slice-of-life comedy is just huuuuge and doesn't seem to have uniformity. What is even worse is how they throw in lots of indirect fan service; just check out how all the monster slayers in this show look. Yeah, cosplaying chicks with school uniforms and eroge personalities. There is even a nekomimi thrown in there just for lulz. The entire horror aspect is lost right there. As for the action scenes, they are at least very dynamic, with lost of moving around, shooting, blowing up, bleeding, dissecting… Too bad it's all random mambo-jumbo without any real choreography or even power level balance. If the plot asks for it, the monsters are unbeatable; if not, they are easy picking. Plus all the mince-meating is done to the monsters; never the heroines so there is no justice or equal footing at hand here. Add a lot of badly drawn scenes and lots of frozen panels and you got nothing impressive in overall. I still give it a 6 for making such a funny mess out of everything.
The sound part is good only in the opening and ending themes; all the rest are retarded shounen dialogues that constantly describe even the most obvious, or use tired jokes you can easily find in any run of the mill show. Gets also a 6.
The story is as I said Swiss Cheese; written with the mentality of a ten year old who thinks it is cool to have ugly monsters and pretty chicks doing mambo jumbo for 90% of the time before getting serious in final showdowns. Seriously, it's just shadow organizations fighting monsters or trying to take over the world, and some chicks who must kill zombies in order to avenge their deaths and go to heaven. Sounds like a lot but it is really just this one-line of text and nothing more to make it look any smarter or interesting. There is also no ending at all; it actually stops with a cliff hanger. Gets a 3 for hardly trying.
The characters are all cop-outs, 2 dimensional archetypes you can find in any shounen these days. I will give some credit to the main male character Ouri for slowly becoming more than a typical high school boy (cue for useless wimpy irritating idiot), the main girl Makina for being given lots of depth to her character and not only her curves, as well as the lead priest (whose name I have forgotten) for becoming a lot more than a ero-senin comic relief dumbass. The problem here is that they are just three characters out of dozens, and whose development is all done in the first season. The second has nothing of interest anymore, other than some generic villains who are doing generic stuff, with generic methods. For all I care, all other women in this show are just prostitutes and all other males are dumbasses you will hate right away. Cast gets a 3 for hardly trying.
Value and enjoyment… practically none, since you can watch a hundred other similar anime with far more enjoyable plots, battles, characters, artwork, pacing, transforming swords and shitz. This is practically a waste of time if you are well versed in such shows.
Overall score: 3.5 / 10

Just finished this whole series and I can't believe how much of a letdown it was. It had a rocky start but I felt like the er..."mysteries" was coming together nicely then all of a sudden it just ended with
I really wanted to like it too, Gainax, a cool theme about death (I actually like how it's reference in the final moments in the series), and girls with gun/swords doing cool fight scenes. The action scenes took a big hit as well as just general animation itself sometimes so all the series had to do was end on a decent note for me. I would just thought of as a passable watch, nothing too great just decent and it couldn't even do that. Felt like I was trolled in watching this series.
It's been a long time since I felt a series completely wasted my time. I try to not research a series too much before watching to avoid any hint of spoilers but I guess I should be more cautious from now on.

It was a bad adaption of the manga from the gecko. Although they followed closely to the manga here and there, they added and subtracted things unnecessary.
They completely went off track the second season, I don't know why they even brother if it was going to be half-ass work.
But to be fair, there wasn't much material to work with at the time.
I discovered the manga by chance one day and since then, it became one of my favorite manga to read. Although the scans are slow as hell, I still have the raws to base my views off of.
You can just read the first 16 chapters of the manga to see just how off-track it was in the anime. 69 chapters on-going right now, I like where things are heading, a flustered Makina is always a good thing in my book.
I wouldn't even brother with the second season of the anime to be honest, it's just a terrible job by GAINEX.
The manga is far superior than the anime.

I just watched this. What a disappointment. Why did they turn Ouri into the MC in the anime? In the manga the MC is Makina herself.
Really, the writers must have been retarded to think the series would work with a guy who doesn't even fight as the lead.
Anyway, I hope I can forget I ever watched this piece of sh*t as soon as possible so it won't affect my enjoyment of the manga.

text: I originally posted this on xda (Gingerbread on Droid Pro with Unlocked Froyo Radio - xda-developers) a few months back (with various edits throughout the months), but wanted to post it here as well since this site has more of the droid pro development work: ------------ So, as people know, the newest builds of CM7 or CM9 by JackpotClavin require it to be placed on top of a fully updated Gingerbread Droid Pro. However, those of us with a US Band unlocked radio can't do that without losing our unlocked radio since there is no unlocker for the gingerbread radio. Based on what Axl did for the Droid 2 Global, I've created a gingerbread kernel based on the Droid Pro to allow us to install gingerbread roms while maintaining our unlocked radios. I've also created a clockworkmod backup that can be used as is, or as a base for installing another gingerbread rom such as CM7. Thanks to JohnS and dettofatto, the kernels and clockworkmod backups were updated to 4.7.3. Below are the Resources and the Process. Resources: 1) RDS Lite (xda-developers - View Single Post - RSD Lite 5.6) 2) SBF 2.26 (http://db.tt/5gKwCQwF) 3) TBH Radio Unlocker (TBH US GSM Band Unlock for Droid 2 Global and Pro Update.zip Public Release - MyDroidWorld - TBH_Band_Unlock_v2.0.zip) 4) Root (Pete's Motorola Root Tools) 5) Droid 2 bootstrap (Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap v22.214.171.124.apk) 6) Kernel (US http://www.mediafire.com/?swv4bl7wa47mpxg or EU http://www.mediafire.com/?w6963rmkvdqmro1) 7) ClockworkMod Backup (Verizon US http://www.mediafire.com/?yhr4b768qbnyote or European http://www.mediafire.com/?wn3pyy5fw3i1nr2) 8) Optional Roms - CM7 for Droid Pro ([ROM] [NEW] Cyanogenmod 7 for the Gingerbread Kernel) or Apex for Droid Pro ([ROM] *Updated*[PORT] ApeX 2.0 Release Candidate (RC4) (10/11/2011)) Process: 1) Boot to Recovery & Wipe Data (R+M+Power) 2) Boot to Bootloader (Up+Down+Power) & SBF to 2.26 (Using RSD Lite & SBF file) - Usually I have to copy SBF File to root of Hard Drive & name it 2026.sbf or it may fail (ymmv) 3) Skip Activation (Bypass activation on your Android device | Android Central) 4) Settings->Applications, Set Unknown Sources and USB Debugging (in development) 5) Root 6) Install Bootstrap apk, open, press 'bootstrap recover'. then 'reboot recovery' to boot to recovery mode. 7) While in recovery mode, and without rebooting at all: ...a) Wipe Data ...b) Install Radio Unlock ...c) Install Kernel ...d) Restore Clockworkmod backup (you should have extracted the clockworkmod zip so the folder is located on your sdcard at [clockworkmod\backup\...] folder (with the system.img and other images under that folder)) 8) Optional - Install cm7, apex or other rom you download 9) Reboot Notes: 1) You can build your own Clockworkmod recovery file by following the JackpotClavin link below and then just backing up your build. It won't have signal while you're doing it (because of the locked radio), but after you restore it later using the above steps, it'll be fine. 2) Your SIM needs to be unlocked from verizon (i used sim-unlock.net) to work. 3) Info on an argentinian 2.3.6 rom here Credits: JackpotClavin - CM7 for Droid Pro ([ROM] [NEW] Cyanogenmod 7 for the Gingerbread Kernel) Axl - Created the Droid2 Kernel which allowed me to use the same method for the Droid Pro ([D2G] Gingerbread Hack For Us Band Unlockers - RootzWiki) dettofatto - Clockworkmod backup and kernel for European 4.7.3 JohnS - Clockworkmod backup and kernel for Verizon US 4.7.3 Good Luck!

It's time for the 'End of the Year' post.
I think this has been a very odd year for me. 2011 was a brilliant, exciting year. Lots of things happened in work and my private life. Plus I had a wonderfully flare-free year. It's hard to follow that!
2012 has been a good year. Not exceptional but solidly good. And what more can you ask for really? I got the amazing opportunity at the start of the year to travel to Peru. It was really an adventure.
I had a pesky flare around the same time but once that got under control in June I have enjoyed the most symptom free 6 months since the start of my illness. So that's also a good thing to be thankful for.
I'm feeling some aches and pains starting up the last couple of weeks and I hope they're short lived, but as always - we shall wait and see!!!
Despite all the good things, I'm feeling a bit off. I've been reading up on it and it is apparently quite normal to feel a bit down in your mid-late 20s. Something about finishing with formal education and starting grown up life and working out who you actually are and what your goals are.
I don't really make resolutions as I'm really bad at keeping them. Instead I sort of reflect and try and set small goals for myself which are easier to achieve. My goals so far are to keep being involved in the community garden and to try to go back to exercise. Also to try to find more time for myself and doing the little things that make me happy.
That's it really, wishing you all a happy, prosperous and healthy 2013!

787 flight resumption up to FAA
Boeing expects to finish testing its battery fix for the 787 within the next week or two. Then it will be up to the Federal Aviation Administration to decide when the planes fly again.
That assessment from Ron Hinderberger, Boeing's vice president for engineering on the 787, was more cautious than statements from other company officials, who suggested Thursday that the 787 could be flying within weeks.
Boeing is testing several changes to the plane's lithium-ion battery aimed at preventing overheating and a fire — conditions that led to the global fleet of 787s being grounded for the past two months.
Hinderberger said Friday that there will be one flight test. Most tests will be done on the ground, and all should all be done in one to two weeks.

Tablets have largely eclipsed the netbook market and some (myself included) have argued that this format of device will disrupt education profoundly. In saying this, I in no way am suggesting that radically new technologies will not emerge. In fact, they already have – even if they are not commercially available yet.
For example, in 2009, MIT Grad Student Pranav Mistry gave TED presentation in which he showed his sixth-sense technology with which a special necklace held a camera and a projector to facilitate augmented reality explorations of really neat things. For example, if you picked up a book and looked at the cover, information about that book, including reviews, would appear projected on the book itself. His video is a whirlwind tour of amazingly cool stuff that seemed like science fiction at the time – only he made it work in the laboratory in preparation for becoming products.
Fast forward a year or so and the focus shifts to Google. While the public face of Google Labs has been closed down, Google is continuing to explore cutting edge ideas. One shot over the bow was a free app called Google Goggles that lets you use your smartphone to do many of the things dome by Panav Mistry's system. Take a photo of a book cover, for example, and it not only recognizes the book, but provides links to reviews and even a link to Amazon in case you want to get your own copy. Stand in front of a landmark building, take a picture, and get links to information about the building. Take a snapshot of a Sudoku puzzle, and it recognizes it as a puzzle and asks if you would like the solution.
Last year buzz started to build around the idea that the Google Goggles software was going to get its own dedicated hardware – a pair of glasses with a built-in heads-up display. For example, a recent article in the New York Times blog describes some of the possible features such a device would have. This would be a truly hand's free device using head gestures to send commands to the system. While this format probably tops out on the nerd scale – which is probably why I think it is cool – it may in fact represent the new face of computing.
Only it isn't new.
In July, 1945, President Roosevelt's science advisor, Vannevar Bush, wrote an article for the Atlantic in which he described his vision for the future. One of his ideas was the following:
"Certainly progress in photography is not going to stop. Faster material and lenses, more automatic cameras, finer-grained sensitive compounds to allow an extension of the minicamera idea, are all imminent. Let us project this trend ahead to a logical, if not inevitable, outcome. The camera hound of the future wears on his forehead a lump a little larger than a walnut. It takes pictures 3 millimeters square, later to be projected or enlarged, which after all involves only a factor of 10 beyond present practice. The lens is of universal focus, down to any distance accommodated by the unaided eye, simply because it is of short focal length. There is a built-in photocell on the walnut such as we now have on at least one camera, which automatically adjusts exposure for a wide range of illumination. There is film in the walnut for a hundred exposures, and the spring for operating its shutter and shifting its film is wound once for all when the film clip is inserted. It produces its result in full color. It may well be stereoscopic, and record with two spaced glass eyes, for striking improvements in stereoscopic technique are just around the corner."
Of course he was thinking in terms of the photography of the time which was film-based. He was aware of photocells and even speculated about their use in photographic elements. Instead of Bush's "walnut" Google is opting (it seems) to use glasses – something well accepted in our society.
No matter how it all shapes up, it seems the time is ripe for wearable computing. And it would be foolish to think Google is alone. Apple's iPod nano comes with wrist straps, using arms instead of noses as the support for wearable technology.
Of course these technologies are not going to replace computers any more than tablets have – they will be additional tools that open new opportunities for creativity and productivity – and may even have a place in education.
Only time will tell.

Darkest Hour (Cutler #5)
- Synopsis
- Growing up on the thriving plantation called The Meadows, Lillian Booth cherishes the brightest, happiest dreams.... Lillian's world is full of grand parties, of sunshine and promises, as thrilling as the fairy tales Mama spins for her and her little sister, Eugenia. No one, not even her cold, stern Papa and her Bible spouting sister Emily, can crush her spirits -- until the day Emily reveals the shattering secret at Lillian's birth, a secret Mama sadly cannot deny. Still Lillian refuses to believe Emily's hateful claim that she is evil, a curse...even when sweet, gentle Eugenia loses her fragile hold on life, and Mama retreats further into her fantasies. But when tragedy befalls her best friend, the one boy whose tender heart mirrors her own, Lillian comes to believe Emily's grim words. Meekly, she endures her penance, finding a strange solace in the endless repetition of prayers in a room stripped of all comforts. Lillian's heart is torn anew when, in a drunken haze, Papa subjects her to the most brutal degradation. Then Papa loses The Meadows in a card game, and Lillian is faced with a new and terrifying prospect. Arrogant, handsome playboy Bill Cutler will return the plantation -- if Lillian will marry him! Now Lillian must leave her girlhood home behind, and make a bold new beginning as the mistress of a hotel called Cutler's Cove...

Media Consultant: Comments Are Bad, Please Shut Up
from the that's-not-strategy,-that's-being-a-curmudgeon dept
But, it seems that some are getting the wrong message from this. Douglas Bailey, who apparently is a "media consultant" or a "media strategist" has simply determined that all newspaper comments are dumb and should be done away with. Instead, he suggests you write a letter to the editor or an op-ed.
But his reasoning is backwards (and makes me wonder why anyone would hire him as a consultant). First, he gives a few apocryphal stories to make his point -- which isn't exactly compelling since they could be entirely made up. Second, he assumes that because plenty of comments on newspaper sites are dumb the problem is the commenters or the very act of commenting itself. Apparently, it never occurred to him that perhaps the problem is the way the newspapers set up the comments. Those newspapers didn't do anything to try to build up community or to encourage people to post more insightful comments. The problem isn't that the commenters are dumb and pointless, but that the newspaper failed to put in place incentives to encourage smarter comments. The newspapers failed to actually engage with their community and talk with them rather than to them. Any newspaper that wants to hire a media strategist these days should probably find one who looks for ways to help a newspaper better engage their community, rather than one who tells them to ignore the community.

After receiving excellent results with several RV manufacturers, Equalizer Systems Inc. is now introducing its Stabi-Lite automatic electric RV stabilizing system to the RV dealer and retail aftermarket.
According to a press release, results of OEM assessments have shown the Stabi-Lite system to be a durable solution for Class C and Class B motorhomes and smaller RVs that can experience a noticeable lean and constant swaying when RVers walk around inside with the slideroom extended. Stabi-Lite eliminates this insecure situation by providing a solid, level platform through a system that deploys automatically with a single touch.
Providing this kind of stability makes Stabi-Lite an effective aftermarket application for the lighter Ford and Chevrolet chassis. It is also the only custom-fit, bolt-on, electric stabilizing system for the increasingly popular Sprinter chassis. Weighing less than 80 pounds, Stabi-Lite is a fuel-efficient and green add-on, including its low-profile design that decreases height required by traditional systems, adding to the aerodynamic profile of contemporary RVs.
Most attractively for the aftermarket, Stabi-Lite is designed to be easy and quick to install with a chassis-specific clamp style mount that requires no welding or drilling. RVers with basic mechanical skills should be able to install the whole system in about two hours. They will also find the system to be an affordable alternative to more expensive hydraulic leveling systems.
"Stabi-Lite has received rave reviews from our RV manufacturing customers," said Jason Loose, outside sales representative for Equalizer Systems. "So we thought the time was right to bring to the aftermarket this simple and affordable solution for the instability people can feel in a smaller slideout RV."
Loose added that Equalizer is constantly designing custom brackets for additional applications, noting, "We expect Stabi-Lite to become an attractive system for race trailers and other special uses."
Equalizer Systems, a division of Days Corp., is based in Elkhart, Ind. For more information visit www.equalizersystems.com.

hopefully it will be as special as that old Sp[idey/Power Pack comic.
by Mr_Batman » Thu May 20, 2010 1:23 pmAm I going to have to watch Next Avengers or whatever to understand this issue? The future kids or whatever?
by Garofani Spruzzo » Thu May 20, 2010 1:23 pm
I know.
Just regular special.
The bad touch issue?
by Garofani Spruzzo » Thu May 20, 2010 1:24 pm
Not at this point, unless you're curious who they are as they are only in the first couple pages.

Okay good. Though, I do want to see it.

Earth's Mightiest Heroes assemble once again and the result is much talkier than even I expected.
Brian Bendis is a solid writer. His Daredevil, Powers and Ultimate Spidey are among my favourite comics and for that his work always gets at least a look from me in the hope he'll be able to hit his form again. This may well be it, but a very very talky first issue probably isn't the best start. The original Avengers and the New Avengers both came together by chance but here we have a hand picked team meeting up for the first time and while the characters are all familiar the past few years have produced some baggage that needs dealing with. Not here though, here we've got a plot to tell (not show) and banter to be bantered. It's a very Bendis first issue, right down to the drip-feeding of action and trademark back-and-forth. The plot looks interesting, but until we get more of it I'm not hooked yet.
John Romita jr isn't quite the legend his father is, but he's still one of the most well respected figures in comics today. He's great and drawing muscular brutes throwing each other through buildings and he's great at handling small emotional moments. Here he gets to do one of those things for around a page or so and the rest is a lot of talking heads and the static nature of the story plays to his weakness for fairly traditional looking layouts. The pencils aren't helped by Dean White's colours, which are fine for the present day but smother the future set scenes under layers of purple fug.
In short it's Bendis playing to his strengths while Romita is largely denied his. These Avengers seem more bogged down with their own issues and a heap of exposition than with engaging in any kind of real story. Nice first part of a trade, not an amazing centrepiece comic.
by Punchy » Thu May 20, 2010 3:48 pmI really enjoyed this, Bendis has still got it!
I guess I need to see Next Avengers sometime.
by Kerny » Thu May 20, 2010 4:26 pmThis was a great issue.
by 3MJ » Thu May 20, 2010 4:28 pm
I like the scene where the Hulk dresses as a clown and is defeated by ants making a hole under where he stood.
by Starlord » Thu May 20, 2010 6:57 pmAvengers #1
I can tell you right from the get go that I will NOT give this book a score any less than a 6 if for but one reason... HAWKEYE IS BACK!!!!
It's okay. Like most average Bendis stories there was stuff that I like and stuff that I didn't care for. I'm really not happy with what they are doing with Wonder Man but I'm happy to see him around. Maybe if he goes nuts he can finally find true love with Wanda. It's an okay set up for what could be an enjoyable story and the banter between Spidey and Hawk was pretty good.
The art... uh... no. When in hero mode they are passible but out of costume they all look like they're in their late teens at best. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad like some of the recent Spider-Man was, but it's really not good - to the point of distracting.
One line though actually made me laugh out loud. Mockingbird: "Please don't say West Coast. Please don't say West Coast."
Story: 7.5
Art: 1
My Score: 6.5
by thefourthman » Thu May 20, 2010 7:08 pmNo seriously, at this point, the people who don't JRJR kind of worry me.
by Starlord » Thu May 20, 2010 7:14 pm
who don't what?
by thefourthman » Thu May 20, 2010 7:18 pmlike... jeez... i don't know what is wrong with me today. I've had to edit just about every thing I have typed
by Garofani Spruzzo » Thu May 20, 2010 7:19 pm

Yakima Residents File Lawsuit Against the City's Election System
YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Two Yakima residents have filed a federal lawsuit accusing the city's election system of preventing Latinos from representation in city council elections. Yakima has four council members who represent districts and three at-large members, but the district candidates are selected in the primary election. Civil rights advocates contend the method dilutes the Latino vote. Yakima has more than 91,000 residents, and its population is 41 percent Hispanic. No Latino has ever won an election for a seat on the city council.

Meeting of Russian, Polish leaders could shed light on 1940 massacre
A historic meeting scheduled for Wednesday between top leaders of Russia and Poland is expected to provide new details about Russia's mass execution of 22,000 Polish officers in the Katyn forest in 1940 and may open the way toward improved relations between the two countries.
The mass slaying of the Polish prisoners of war by the Soviet secret police is one of the darker and less known chapters of World War II, said Kyle Parker, a Russian expert and policy adviser to the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, an independent U.S. agency that helps formulate American policy for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Vladimir Putin and Donald Tusk -- the Russian and Polish prime ministers -- will meet at the execution site in Smolensk, Russia, to mark the 70th anniversary of the massacre, which Russia blamed on Germany until 1990.
There is no longer any question about who did it. However, experts say that some important questions remain about the coverup. Russia's answers to those questions at the meeting could help determine the course of the key strategic relationship between the two countries.
Putin's presence at the ceremony is particularly significant, Parker said.
"There are incredible possibilities for forward movement and reconciliation in what he may say," Parker said. "Sincere, heartfelt, unequivocal remarks by Putin would mean even more . . . because Putin was the head of the successor agency of the NKVD," or the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs, the agency that killed the Polish officers in 1940. Putin headed the KGB before becoming Russian president and then prime minister.
"I understand that Russia will be turning over new documents and will be releasing some new information" that could shed light on the massacre's coverup, Parker said.
In March 1940, Joseph Stalin signed an order for the mass execution of more than 22,000 Polish officers being held as prisoners of war. The April 1940 executions were systematic: Each officer's hands were tied behind his back, and each was shot with a single bullet through the base of the skull.
According to Poland's conscription system, the Polish officer corps included anyone with a university degree -- Poland's intelligentsia.
"By murdering these people, the Russians created a leadership vacuum," said Alex Storozynski, the president of the Kosciuszko Foundation.
The mass graves were discovered in 1943 by the Wehrmacht, the German armed forces, after their defeat at Stalingrad.
The discovery caused a diplomatic crisis, Storozynski said: The United States was allied with Russia against Germany. When Russia blamed Germany for the massacre, the United States stayed silent, Parker said.

Copyright Is Becoming Guilt By Accusation
from the guilty-until-proven-otherwise dept
The second is the new "six strikes" plans from US broadband players. One of our main complaints with all of the "strikes" plans is that they all are based on accusations, rather than any conviction. While there's an "appeals" process, it's quite limited and the rules have it so that the deck is completely stacked against those who appeal.
What both of these examples have in common, obviously, is that they're so-called "voluntary" solutions, put in place by companies, often due to arm twisting by the entertainment industry, combined with threats of government regulation if such "voluntary" actions don't happen. While it may seem that voluntary agreements are to be encouraged, when they create a situation like this, in which users are being declared guilty merely upon accusation, with little real recourse in many cases, something seems wrong. We run a very real risk of discouraging important services and innovations when we start taking away core concepts like "innocent until proven guilty" -- even if it's just in civil issues between private companies. It's a trend that's quite worrisome and can lead to many innocent people getting punished.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 14, 2013) – After nearly two complete weeks off from competition, the ETSU women's basketball team will challenge the No. 5 (AP/USA Today) Kentucky Wildcats on Sunday, Dec. 15, at 2 p.m. inside Memorial Coliseum. The game will be available for viewing on Fox Sports South.
The Buccaneers (2-5) will face their second Southeastern Conference (SEC) foe in as many games Sunday after meeting the Vanderbilt Commodores on Dec. 3. ETSU started hot from the field against Vandy but quickly cooled down. The Bucs took an only seven point deficit into halftime but the Commodores opened the second period with a burst to take control of the game. Facing a sizeable deficit for much of the second half, the Blue and Gold did not quit and managed to execute down the stretch. In the end, Vandy showed its potential and downed the Bucs, 92-71; handing ETSU its second-consecutive loss.
The matchup with Kentucky (10-0) will be the third all-time meeting between the two teams, a series that is knotted at one game apiece. In the most recent matchup, ETSU bested UK, 59-50, on Dec. 12, 2008 in Lexington.
For more on Sunday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
Game Notes
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
The ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2013-14 season under the guidance of first-year head coach. Brittney Ezell. A two-sport star in basketball and softball at the University of Alabama, Ezell comes to ETSU after spending three seasons as head coach at Belmont University where she compiled a 41-52 overall record. The Franklin, Tenn. native takes the reigns of a veteran-heavy team that returns nine letterwinners from an 8-18 overall 2012-13 campaign. Among the nine returnees are six players who started 10 or more games last season. Highlighted among the returnees is last year's team-leading scorer and rebounder Destiny Mitchell who led the way with 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Supporting Mitchell are juniors Serena Clark and Cara Bowling who each averaged 9.5 points per game last season.
As a result of a leg injury suffered in the first regular season game of the season at Memphis on Nov. 8, senior Destiny Mitchell will miss the remainder of the 2013-14 campaign. Mitchell will continue injury rehabilitation and the ETSU compliance department will petition for a medical redshirt to have the forward cleared to participate in 2014-15.
Junior forward Serena Clark has started 2013-14 off strong, scoring in double-figures in six of the seven games this season. After falling just one rebound short of a double-double in the season opener at Memphis (11/8), the native Georgian reeled off four-consecutive double-doubles for ETSU in games from Nov. 12th thru the 29th. The most recent performance came versus Alabama A&M (11/29) when the junior posted a career-high 21 points and 11 rebounds in an 82-65 win. Clark has now exceeded her double-double total from last season just seven games into the 2013-14 campaign with five this season and seems poised for more throughout the year. Her 12.3 points per game currently ranks among the top-20 in the A-Sun, while her 12.1 boards per game ranks second in the league.
Junior guard Cara Bowling is currently averaging a team-leading 13.3 points per game for the Bucs to begin the 2013-14 season. Presently, this point total per game is 10th in the A-Sun and her 2.1 three-point field goal makes per game stands tied for fourth in the league. The Elizabethton native posted a career-high 22 points vs. Saint Francis (Pa.) (11/24) including four makes from behind the arc.
Sophomore guard Chandler Christopher has proved to be a valuable piece for the Bucs to begin the 2013-14 season. After spending the entirety of the 2012-13 campaign as a seldom-used freshman walk-on, first-year head coach Brittney Ezell liked what she saw from Christopher and decided to elevate the Greeneville native from walk-on to scholarship status prior to this season. Christopher has since recorded her first-career starts in each of the first seven games of this season and has been a vital cog for the Blue and Gold. After netting two points, five rebounds and three assists in the opener at Memphis (11/8), the guard followed with career-highs of 17 points and four assists in an also career-best 37 minutes played in ETSU's 81-72 win at Appalachian State (11/12). Christopher's performance in the Bucs' first win of the season led to her being named A-Sun Player of the Week by College Sports Madness on Monday, Nov. 18. The sophomore then added another team-leading scoring performance to her résumé with 15 points in a 77-69 loss to Morehead State on Nov. 21.
To begin the 2013-14 season, the Bucs are averaging 30 points in the paint through seven games including 36 in the season opener at Memphis (11/8), in the home opener vs. Morehead State (11/21) and in a home date vs. Saint Francis (Pa.) (11/24). The Blue and Gold got a season-high 42 points in the paint in an 82-65 win versus Alabama A&M (11/29).
To begin the 2013-14 campaign, ETSU outrebounded the Memphis Tigers 47-44 in a 77-74 overtime loss on Nov. 8 and boarded evenly with the Appalachian State at 40 in the Bucs' 81-72 win in Boone, N.C. on Nov. 12. The Bucs also outrebounded the Morehead State Eagles, 36-27, in a 77-69 loss on Nov. 21. In an 82-65 win versus Alabama A&M (11/29) the Blue and Gold dominated the Bulldogs, 43-29, on the boards. The Bucs' current +2.1 rebound margin ranks fifth in the A-Sun.
Through seven games to begin the 2013-14 season, ETSU is currently averaging 73.1 points per game which is first in the A-Sun. With the 73.1 points per game also come successes in field goal percentage and three-point field percentage where the Bucs are second in the league at 43 and 34 percent, respectively.
The Atlantic Sun coaches picked the Bucs to finish tied with North Florida at fifth, while in the media poll ETSU was selected seventh ... the coaches picked FGCU with seven first-place votes to win the conference, while the media selected FGCU with 30 first-place votes ... the Bucs finished the 2012-13 season in eighth.

02 Jun Nonprofits communicate with ease on Office 365
Two Italian nonprofit organizations – Oxfam and Emergency – have turned to Microsoft Office 365 for a secure and reliable cloud service, allowing them to expand the scope of their international initiatives of combatting poverty, providing aid and promoting human rights across the globe without putting an increased burden on IT.
Oxfam consists of 17 organizations networked together in more than 90 countries, as part of a global movement for change. They specialize in humanitarian aid and development projects with the goal of building a future free of poverty. The worldwide distribution of Oxfam's offices requires an infrastructure that is manageable and allows for seamless collaboration between employees across several countries. Oxfam's Italy office needed to find a way to exchange information and materials efficiently and securely. Thanks to the support of Microsoft and partner company Tempestive, the Italian offices of Oxfam got on Office 365 and are now more effective in carrying out the daily activities of the organization. This means Oxfam can reach more people in need more quickly.
Emergency is a humanitarian organization founded in 1994 that brings free surgical care to victims of war, landmines and poverty. Emergency currently operates in a number of countries across the globe including Afghanistan, Iraq, Central African Republic, Sierra Leone and Sudan as well as two group practices and two mobile clinics in Italy. With this many locations, the organization needed an email solution that would allow for dependable, efficient and secure communication across all offices. In collaboration with SoftJam partners, Emergency developed a hybrid solution, where the organization migrated to Exchange 2010 and Office 365, allowing the company to use both the on-premise system and the cloud depending on their need. Emergency now has the tools that allow them to focus on their patients rather than their technology.

Hawks Nest Beach needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 89 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Hawk's Nest Beach resort has been family owned since 1895. Guests have been returning for many, many years. The resort has seen children grow up year after year. The resort is laid back, family friendly and aware of it's natural environment (important). To this day the Garvin family continues manging the resort. The resort is not just a company, it's part of their history.
The primary target is for those visiting the website. The person responsible for making travel plans (moms usually). We are trying to target new visitors to the website. The website will be undergoing a re-design shortly. We want the website to look fresh, welcoming to to new visitors, and easy to navigate. It should also make a "mom" feel like this is the place she would want to take her kids (family).
The logo needs to say:
Hawk's Nest Beach
A Family Resort
Since 1895
The old logo is attached (cottages). The new logo does not necessarily need to include these cottages, but it should include a type of cottage (we hoped for at least 3, but are open to other ideas). FYI the actual resort has 40+ cottages for rent.
The resort is right on the beach, incorporate some wavy lines in between the name or underneath to represent the beach, sea grass a hawk or hawk's nest.
The new logo will be used on the website, collateral and T-shirts.
Below are to links to logo that we like:

Gentleman Jim Reeves
By: Legacy Staff
5 years ago
Jim Reeves, born 90 years ago today, helped change the face of country music when he pioneered the smooth, gentle "Nashville sound." So mellow were his melodious tones that he earned the nickname "Gentleman Jim," and he influenced a generation of country singers who carried on the tradition he started, creating a musical movement than endured for many years.
But Reeves wasn't always a crooner. In the earliest days of his recording career, he was known for a much less gentlemanly style of belting out his songs.
The roots of country music were quite different from the pop music-inspired sounds that would take over in the late 1950s. Rollicking songs played with down-homey instruments like fiddles and banjos featured singers who raised their voices to be heard above the musical din. Jim Reeves's early recordings were right in line with this classic style, and he shouted his way through hits like "Bimbo."
But in 1957, Reeves decided to try something new. In the pop music world, crooners like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby had been taking the volume down a few notches for years. Their low, emotive singing style was made possible by microphones, which could amplify their voices to dominate the accompanying instruments even if they didn't sing loudly. The smooth style was all over the pop music charts, but it hadn't yet made its way to country… until Jim Reeves lowered his voice to a more gentlemanly tone. His first single using his new sound was "Four Walls," and it was a No. 1 hit.
Gentleman Jim became an international celebrity creating the music that would come to rule Nashville. As the Nashville sound evolved, the humming background singers evident in "Four Walls" were joined by lush string sections that smoothed out the music – and brought it even further from its country roots. The full Nashville sound helped propel Reeves's Twelve Songs of Christmas album to classic status.
By the late 1960s, the Nashville sound was starting to morph into "Countrypolitan," an even poppier style that was led by stars like Tammy Wynette, Glen Campbell and Charlie Rich . Given Reeves's talent for reinventing himself, we feel confident he could have been at the forefront of the Countrypolitan movement. But it was not to be. On July 31, 1964 – at the height of his popularity as well as that of the Nashville sound – Reeves was piloting a single-engine aircraft that became engulfed in a violent storm. He couldn't control the plane, and it went down, killing him and his business partner and manager Dean Manuel.
For decades after Jim Reeves's death, country music has continued to feel his influence. We think the pioneering singer would be proud – and we feel confident that he's lived up to the inscription on his memorial:
If I, a lowly singer, dry one tear, or soothe one humble human heart in pain, then my homely verse to God is dear, and not one stanza has been sung in vain.
