Displaying post 1 to 4 of 4 from music
I wrote this song about my eldest daughter, who a constant source of inspiration. Steve Eschelman is playing mandolin and singing backing vocals.
This song is about my wife, who was far away at the time. Recorded entirely on an old Tascam 8-track: no ones or zeroes allowed. I'll put a new one up, as well... but I had to upload this one because its so watery. CREDITS: Tyler Massey (that's me): composition, guitar & rubbishy, slightly-out-of-tune vocal; Joel Hatfield: production, bass, & backing vocal; Alex Kendall, drums; Kevin Allison: guitar & backing vocal. 1995.
This one is a few years old; I'm playing and singing everything. The drums are loop-based but everything else is 'live'.
Close Your Eyes
This is a demo that my friend James Burnham and I co-wrote and co-produced last month in Cubase. The harmonies fall apart a little in the end, but I thought it was worth posting. We'll probably re-mix it soon. I'm singing; James programmed. - Tyler Massey

Secrets of Success
I've joined another team!
Saturday, February 19, 2011
Today I officially joined a new team. I'm very excited about it. I'm hoping to get added to the CATS team. The team I joined is called 2011 Winter-1 5% Challenge, and from there we get assigned to an "individual" team.
I just know that if I get accepted into CATS, I will get my mojo back, because my buddy GetFit2Live is on that one. She and I communicate nearly every day, encouraging one another.
For those of you who don't know me, I have another name. That is Krackers.
I make quilts for kids 8-18 who are battling cancer, and they are called Ally Cat ?Quilts by Krackers. I send them all over the world. I just need to rely on others to "find" the kids for me, and get their names and mailing addresses so I can make them a quilt.
If you go to my photo page you will see some of them.
This all started when our granddaughter, Ally, was diagnosed with leukemia. She always got so very cold from chemo, and asked me to make quilts for her and the other older kids. My grandkids started calling me Krackers, so............of course I HAD to use Ally's name, and then combined with Krackers.....you get the idea.
Today I am making a big wall quilt using one of my personal photos as an inspiration. Here is the photo I am using:
I snapped this photo on one of our hikes to Sol Duc Falls. Pretty, isn't it! I hope the quilt comes out almost as pretty.

Your photo is lovely. I can just imagine what your quilt will look like.
I hope you get on the CATS team, but if you don't, I'm sure you will find encouragement on your assigned team. It sounds to me that you've already found your mojo - it just may be in disguise.

I'm so excited you're doing the challenge with me!! Whether you're on the Cats team or not, I'll be cheering you on, you can count on that. Love that photo; I can't wait to see what you come up with for the quilt. You do beautiful work! Oh, and I do not think you've lost your mojo, but the challenge (if you can get into it much) does help motivate me to specifically get my bones moving to help my team along. WOO HOO!

is a very different pedigree of Hollywood beast. He always straddles the line of insanity and brilliance. Even his new turn as caveman Grug in The Croods received positive reviews and $400 million worldwide at the box office. As such, it was just announced that The Croods 2 is happening. Still, his real life persona is even more animated than the overprotective dad who never wants his kids to leave the cave.
After all, he once did mushrooms with his cat. He also has a pet octopus. Let's not forget that he named his son after his favorite superhero. And yes, he casually spews out sentences like, "I opened my eyes and there was a naked man wearing my leather jacket eating a Fudgesicle in front of my bed." It's all best summed up in YouTube montages like this.
He's erratic. He's off his rocker. He's absurd.
As such, we've decided to take a look at Cage's craziest roles, thanks to the power of GIFs and our very scientific "Insanity Scale." Don't worry, Cage fans. We're only poking fun and will be taking a look at Cage's solid performances next week.
Without further ado, I present THE NICOLAS CAGE INSANITY SCALE:
Movie: Ghost Rider
Scene: This skull is on fire.
Movie: Deadfall
Scene: A distaste for wire hangers that rivals Joan Crawford.
Movie: The Wicker Man
Scene: Punching a lady. As a bear.
Scene: "The Bees!"
Movie: Vampire's Kiss
Scene: Everything. This movie is insane.
Things haven't always been good for Nicolas Cage. His meaty roles sometimes begin to smell like ham because of insane performances like these. But let's not get caught up in all the hype and endless meme fodder. This guy has done some awesome stuff. Again, that's why we're going to revel in the accolades he deserves next week. We'll salute the side that people seem to forget: The gifted one.

Telemedicine or Telehealth is the use of technologies such as phone or video to provide clinical health care to patients at a distance. The Telemedicine industry is one of the fastest growing segments in health care. With hundreds of government bills and regulations being modified and passed…it is reshaping our health care world rapidly. However, our mission at TreatMD is to reshape the way we interpret and use Telemedicine.
TreatMD is an International, on-demand healthcare platform. We call ourselves an on-demand healthcare platform instead of just a TeleHealth solution. We feel the words "Telehealth" or "Telemedicine" are just one component of our platform, and frankly…they are terms defined in the past when telephone consultations emerged in health care. That was in the past…
When we were building TreatMD, we put all the players on the whiteboard in this modern healthcare ecosystem. We examined the doctor office scheduling companies, the medical device and wearables companies, the in-home visit companies, and lastly the slew of TeleHealth companies emerging. We said to ourselves we want to build something special, and we set out to redefine the term "On-Demand Healthcare".
The TreatMD on-demand healthcare platform embraces all visit types, Telehealth engagements, dozens of mHealth devices, and patient management and monitoring solutions in an interactive, searchable, and map-based interface….and on an International scale.
The First To Deploy:
Within minutes, a doctor or any practice anywhere in the world can sign up and offer on-demand healthcare solutions to any patient. Within seconds, anyone in the world can connect with any doctor or healthcare facility via Telehealth.
A doctor in the United States can monitor and treat a diabetic's glucose levels or someone's blood pressure…say in France. A cancer patient in Spain can connect with a cancer specialist and learn about alternative treatments from around the world. We have just begun…
We are 20+ year technology and health care serial entrepreneurs and enthusiasts. We started building TreatMD in 2014 with a vision of changing how Telemedicine or Telehealth is conducted, collaborated, and presented. We initially had a goal to "Open Up" this industry and bring Telemedicine to households on an International scale. We had a vision to create the ability for a patient to connect to a provider or facility anywhere around the world and visa versa.
Now, we have grander goals and visions of changing how health care is conducted, and even possibly finding cures and treatments together.
We take great pride in that we have self-funded TreatMD and TreatMD properties. We focus primarily on building a great product, a great team, a great company, and great relationships. In saying that, we are open for discussions if those four points have mutual synergy with TreatMD.

text: I'm just curious. What do we know about the angels? Their coming and going from here to heaven reporting to God. They battle against the fallen angels. They have been messengers written about in the scriptures. Yet there is very little scripture mentioning them. What are they doing in relation to believers? And do they manifest themselves where they are detectable. Visually, voice, physically, etc.?

What do you make for a weary traveller?
I've been that girl, wandering off a red-eye, struggling to understand the numbers on the clock and navigating my way across a strange city to the doorstep of a dear friend. In the whirl of jetlag delirium, your focus becomes twofold – sleep and sustenance.
I still remember one time when my Mom picked me up at the airport after a 10-hour flight adventure. She had packed me a little lunch in a brown paper bag. I was in my early 30s, but pulling out that peanut butter sandwich made me feel like her little girl – cared for, loved, comforted. It was the best sandwich I have ever had. 🙂
I always say, eating nourishes our bodies, being fed nourishes our souls.
With that in mind, in honour of a long awaited visitor, I made a big batch of hearty, chocolate chip and cashew cookies based on a recipe from the Whole Grain Vegan Baking book and some of the creamiest, chocolate ice cream I've ever churned up. It has a coconut milk base, a hint of coffee and a wonderful, deep chocolate flavour. I'm pretty sure, together, it says, "welcome" and "please stay awhile".
It is the stuff that jetlag-induced-dreams are made of.
I hope today, you can find a way to meet a friend at a farmers market to chat over cherries, order Thai takeout and snuggle with a friend on the couch, or simply slip out for a cup coffee and call someone you care about on the phone as you sip it down. It is the little things that can make a Tuesday like this…terrific. xo
- 2 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup strong coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 TBSP arrowroot powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine all of the ingredients. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and free of lumps.
- Continuing heating, whisking often, until the mixture begins to thicken (approximately 8-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat, transfer to a jug or airtight container and chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours (until completely cool). If a skin forms on the top of the mixture, remove it just before pouring into the ice cream maker.
- Churn in an ice cream maker for approximately 25 minutes.
- Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container in the freezer for later.
- Remove from the freezer approximately 20 minutes before serving for the perfect scooping texture.

Hullo, lovely peoples! So you may all be wondering why I'm posting on a Monday instead of Thursday or Friday...or you may be wondering, "Does she even have a schedule?" (And no, I don't. XD) Welllll...there is a VERY special reason for this impromptu post. Because I just found out (as in this morning *cough*) that they released the first trailer for the new live-action Beauty and the Beast film!!! *SQUEALS* I'M SERIOUSLY SO PUMPED. NO WORDS CAN CONVEY MY ECSTASY.
SO. Because I love you guys so very much, I naturally decided to bestow this beautimous trailer upon my loyal bookdragons. No need to thank me. Just watch the trailer and sing my praises in the comments section if you have the mind. ;)
IS IT BEAUTIFUL OR WHAT??? Seriously, I love this thing more than chocolate. (Okay, maybe not that much, but you get the picture.)
I totally had chills when I watched it. The castle, the ballroom, the music, the rose, the Ian McKellen (who is playing Cogsworth, much to my immense joy). It's all perfect. The only problem now is how I shall survive until March 17...
Oh, and just so you don't fret, I DO plan to still be posting something on Thursday or Friday. I've been incredibly busy so please excuse my negligence in replying to comments. You're all the sweetest, and I LOVE reading your comments. Yet time is a little rascally thing which delights in racing past in a blur. One day I'll catch up with it.

A year ago today we came into your facility in hopes of adopting a kitten to add to our family, instead we ended up adopting two (brother & sister). Since their first day home its been an adventure. Everyday is something new & crazy with these two; they keep us laughing everyday with their wonderful & unique personalities. Thank you so much for these wonderful kitties and the tremendous, selfless work you all do in providing for all these feline pets.
Hi Everyone!!
I wanted to say hi and tell you that it is almost a year since I was adopted! I used to be Jersey Girl, but now I am Dafne (Italian spelling of the name since I am Italian now!).
My name means mountain laurel in Italian and that is the state flower of Pennsylvania – so that's my name. I've included a picture so you can see how adorable and big I am! I'm really, really happy and everyone loves me so much!
Thank you for taking such wonderful care of me when I lived with you. My mom and dad are sending a check in celebration of my adoption anniversary – please use it to help all the sweet kitties that you take care of so tenderly. I miss you all and love you!
Sincerely Dafne
"Yoshi" (formerly known as Yoda) was adopted by Tanya over the winter and has adapted perfectly to his new forever home.
Tanya is a big fan of Siamese kitties so when she saw this striking boy on Craigslist, it was love at first site.
She absolutely adores him! Yoshi has used his unforgettable charm to land himself a girlfriend "Princess Peach" who he loves to snuggle with. We are so happy to hear all is well, please keep the updates coming.

Malala Yousafzai
Youngest-Ever Nobel Prize Laureate; Pakistani Activist for Female Education; Author of "I Am Malala"
Malala shared her father's passion for learning and loved going to school. In 2009, as the Taliban's military hold on Swat intensified, Malala began writing a blog for the BBC Urdu service under a pseudonym, about fears that her school would be attacked and the increasing military activity in Swat. Television and music were banned, women were prevented from going shopping and then Ziauddin was told that his school had to close.
Malala and her father received death threats but continued to speak out for the right to education. Around this time, Malala was featured in a documentary made for The New York Times and was revealed as the author of the BBC blog
In 2011, she received Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize and was nominated by Archbishop Desmond Tutu for the International Children's Peace Prize. In response to her rising popularity and national recognition, Taliban leaders voted to kill her.
On 9 October 2012, as Malala and her friends were travelling home from school, a masked gunman entered their school bus and asked for Malala by name. She was shot with a single bullet which went through her head, neck and shoulder. Two of her friends were also injured in the attack.
Malala survived the initial attack, but was in a critical condition. She was moved to Birmingham in the United Kingdom for treatment at a hospital that specialises in military injuries. She was not discharged until January, 2013 by which time she had been joined by her family in the UK.
The Taliban's attempt to kill Malala received worldwide condemnation and led to protests across Pakistan. In the weeks after the attack, over 2 million people signed a right to education petition, and the National Assembly swiftly ratified Pakistan's first Right To Free and Compulsory Education Bill.
Malala became a global advocate for the millions of girls being denied a formal education because of social, economic, legal and political factors. In 2013, Malala and Ziauddin co-founded the Malala Fund to bring awareness to the social and economic impact of girls' education and to empower girls to raise their voices, to unlock their potential and to demand change.
Malala accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on 10 December, 2014 with Indian children's rights and education advocate Kailash Satyarthi. Malala contributed her entire prize money of more than $500,000 to financing the creation of a secondary school for girls in Pakistan.

After hearing the horror stories from friends with newborns of days with little or no sleep for days at a time, I've learned to appreciate a god night's sleep. Fortunately for those going through the transition of having a new baby in the house, someone empathizes with your plight. The folks over at ThinkGeek are selling a Voice Activated Crib Light with Womb Sounds.
If you're little one should wake from his or her restful slumber in a fuss, three colored lights turn on in response to the cry and start rotating to soothe your child. In addition, the device will play actual "womb music", sounds recorded from the womb. Just strap it to your baby's crib and the crib light will play for ten minutes after hearing your baby's cry which with any luck, will lull them back to sleep allowing you to get a full eight hours.
For only .99, the Crib Light is a 6.5″ x 5″ x 2.25″ miracle worker if it actually gets the job done. It runs on 4 AA batteries and can be strapped to the crib or just laid flat. So would you give this gadget a shot or do you think it's too good to be true?

Combat repeats until one or both sides run out of HP. Mutual destruction is possible.
Leaders and Combat
A Leader may choose to directly engage their opponent on their own without the assistance of an army, but must be declared to being doing so in advance. While thus declared, a Leader is treated as an Army for the purposes of Shunting.
Indirect Combat
Indirect combat (such as ranged attacks or spells) works similarly, but is not repeated. Defending units do not typically attack back, but units capable of indirect combat will return fire. (Mages will be given an emergency communique if it is possible for them to counterattack in a ranged fashion, as they may not want to spend the Astral Gems to cast a spell.)

Important Information on Indirect Combat:
Strongholds and Capitals are immune to most forms of indirect combat.
Forests protect units inside them from indirect combat.
Some units receive additional defense when targeted by indirect combat.
If a unit with Prey deals damage to it's prey through any means, it deals an additional 15 points of damage.
Mass Direct Combat
Mass Direct Combat occurs when three or more unallied forces appear in the same hex.
Instead of rolling Attack – Defense to determine damage, damage is determined as below:
Where n = the number of combatants. Each unit attacks all opposing units in each round of combat. The effect of this is a much higher mutual destruction rate, as burst damage is limited.

Today I got access to a collection of very cool pictures of the CMS detector, one of the two experiments designed and built to study proton-proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Many of those pictures, which were taken by Michael Hoch (CERN/CMS) in the last couple of years, have circulated in the web for a long time, and individual ones have been used in several places. However, they are very nice to browse one after the other. And I think they are even more interesting to watch if one has not had the privilege of visiting the giant detector in its underground cavern, during its assembly last year. So I take the liberty of showing them to you here, in case you missed them - or just like to refresh your memory on this technological marvel.
The original pictures are pretty large -over 10Mbytes each. Click on the pictures below to download the originals.
The picture above shows two of the muon "wheels" -five cylindrical elements which make up the outer structure of the central detector. They contain four layers of muon stations (the shiny silver boxes) layered between steel blocks.
This picture shows two wheels from a side. On the back you can see the multi-level platforms which allow access to CMS from a side: they give an idea of the size of this thing.
This picture shows the tracker, with the beam pipe inserted in it. The CMS tracker is made by about 200 square meters of silicon detectors: it is the largest such detector ever built, with the highest number of electronic channels ever put together in a single such device.
This shows the tracker inserved in the central detector from a side (actually from below).
And the last picture shows the detector fully assembled in its working position.
If you want to see more like these, please visit this site. Have fun!

Those are beautiful pictures!
Every time I see them, I am always reminded of the Borg from Star Trek. That image is always tempered by the knowledge that technology can be used for both good and evil. I am glad the LHC is used for good, not evil.

I think the theoretical study of black holes is of the utmost importance. Of course, that is because I studied them quite intensely in undergraduate school, and consider myself a semi-expert on them. :p
Micro black holes provide the best possible proof or disproof of extra dimensions in any way, shape, or form.

"The disappearance of these once-central relationships—between people who are familiar but not close, or friendly but not intimate—lies at the root of America's economic woes and political gridlock."
– The Vanishing Neighbor, Marc Dunkelman
Have you talked with a neighbor today?
Would you recognize them at the store?
Would you know if tomorrow's their birthday?
CITYLAB (from The Atlantic) released a fascinating article Aug 19th: Why Won't You Be My Neighbor? based on recent data about neighborhood interactions. Striking facts, indicating a steady downward trend in interactions with one's neighbors, even at the most basic level of knowing their (not just their dogs') names. "We live in more sprawling communities, where people are literally living further from one another." Fenced in & tuned out, some would say.
1/3 of Americans have never interacted with people living next door
<20% of Americans spend time regularly with people living next door
Only 1/3 of the population says, "most people can be trusted" – fallen from a majority in the 1970s
"There was this sort of cohort effect [in the 1920s-1960s] in which people…were more inclined in many cases to find security that existed in neighborhoods," says Marc Dunkelman, who studied the shift in American communities for his book The Vanishing Neighbor (quoted above). "They depended on one another much more."
Cohousing may not the be-all-end-all to building stronger neighborhoods, but breaking down perceived barriers to interaction (car-centered dwellings, lack of sidewalks/neighborhood walkability, perceptions of unfriendliness, etc.) goes quite a long ways towards fostered camaraderie; which, by the way, is itself defined as "mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together."
As any seasoned cohouser would likely tell you, spending quality time together is inherent in the fabric of these neighborhoods from move-in day on. You won't walk out on your porch one day to find a new tenant moving in next door unannounced. Cohousing builds community bonds on a daily basis; say, from the simple act of arriving home from a trip to walk past the common house (oh right, tonight's the harvest gathering! better dig up those cut-outs for the kids to carve with) to passing by a neighbor's open door (looks like Julie's back home visiting from college, I'll stop by later to say hi) to finally arriving at your door to find a welcome back home! pumpkin bread and note on your porch.
Although I don't myself live in cohousing, I've heard enough of these stories to know they're commonplace, and a crucial part of just why these types of communities are not only successful but wholly necessary in our world today.
It's no exaggeration to say we're happier, healthier, longer-living people with these daily social interactions in our lives. Not simply feeling like another face behind a door or car-driver backing out of the carport, but a person who's relied upon, and who can rely upon others nearby when necessary. A parent whose child seeks out spontaneous play dates both with a friend their age two doors down and an eighty-five-year-old adopted grandparent, eager to show off his model train collection. A seventy-year-old single woman who, having recently lost a spouse, finds community in common meals three times a week, where she can break bread with neighbors to honor her late husbands' memory.
In cohousing communities your neighbor has more than just a name; they have a common meal specialty, a go-to skill, an evolving relationship with their neighbors – they can't possibly be faceless. Neighbors tackle issues together, plan parties together and honor the passage of friends and neighbors together. Maybe we won't solve the world's problems on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood scale, but building bonds there is certainly not a bad place to start. And that's why now, more than ever, community is truly priceless.

Skip to comments.public comment DEADLINE is September 26.
Posted on 09/12/2012 11:47:12 AM PDT by TurboZamboni
The public comment DEADLINE is September 26. There are just 2 weeks for you to tell the U.S. House committee what you think about the federal takeover of health care using health insurance exchanges. Written public testimony -- however brief -- will be accepted until Wednesday, September 26, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. EASTERN.
Today, the U.S. House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health is holding a hearing on Obamacare's government health insurance exchanges (federal takeover centers). They selected five testifiers, and only one is likely to oppose the exchanges. That's why your help is needed.
(Excerpt) Read more at healthenews.cchfreedom.org ...
Daniel Durham, Executive VP at America's Health Insurance Plans, wants regulations that "encourage fully state-initiated Exchanges or state Exchanges working in partnership with federal agencies..." And Heather Howard directs the State Health Reform Assistance Network which is " focused on setting up insurance exchanges," and funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, an single payer advocate. However, James Blumstein will probably oppose Obama's federal takeover centers. He has said Obamacare does not allow the federal government to issue premium subsidies through the Federal Exchange. He says the law only allows state-run exchanges to issue subsidies. The IRS wrote regulations saying otherwise, probably because states have refused to build exchanges (see diagram). Blumstein expects lawsuits from employers who are fined under the law when employees use the exchange.
The House and its brave leader, Boner, already know what the citizens of America think about the entire Obamacare package.
The Marxist timebomb is still ticking....awaiting repeal.

Playoff Bid Hinges on Magic, Nets Losses
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, April 19, 1998; Page D1
For once, the Washington Wizards did all they could do, ending the regular season last night at a sold-out MCI Center with a 112-95 victory over the Boston Celtics. Now they get to watch television today and find out if their ending run of four consecutive victories, their second-longest winning streak of the season, will be good enough to get them into the postseason.
The outcome of two games will determine that. The Wizards need the Detroit Pistons to beat the New Jersey Nets, and the Charlotte Hornets to defeat the Orlando Magic. If the Nets or the Magic win, the Nets will take the eighth and final berth in the Eastern Conference.
The Wizards beat the Celtics for only the second time in five meetings by breaking Boston's full-court press with relative ease committing only nine turnovers and avoiding any long lapses on defense. Center Ben Wallace led them at that end of the floor with 13 rebounds, 4 blocked shots and 5 steals. Forward Chris Webber led five players scoring in double figures with 27 points and added 13 rebounds, and also had a team-leading eight assists.
Antoine Walker and Ron Mercer led the Celtics with 18 points each, and Walker led them in rebounds with 13. But without point guard Kenny Anderson (bruised left knee), the Celtics simply didn't have enough talent or motivation to beat the Wizards, who had the edge in both.
The Celtics built a five-point lead several times early in the third quarter, their first time ahead since starting the game with a 5-0 burst. Most of the damage came from Mercer, who, after being held to four points in 13 first-half minutes, scored 10 points in 10 third-quarter minutes.
But the Wizards rallied, and once again point guard Chris Whitney came through with the momentum-turning plays. Boston still led 69-64 after a jumper by Mercer, but Whitney drove and hit a leaning jumper. He cut the difference to two with a free throw and then assisted on an eight-foot jumper by Webber that tied the score at 69.
Whitney then gave the Wizards the lead for good, 70-69, by making a free throw, awarded because of a technical foul on Walker for arguing with referee Leroy Richardson.
The Wizards went on to close the period by outscoring the Celtics 11-3, the run capped by two ferocious dunks from forward Darvin Ham, the last with four-tenths of second on the clock off a feed from Webber. The Celtics never got closer than six in the final period.
It was clear at the start last night that the Wizards knew the stakes were high.
Trainer Kevin Johnson, who usually keeps Coach Bernie Bickerstaff aware of the Wizards' allotment of timeouts and fouls in a calm voice, was barking out the information last night. Bickerstaff was more on edge than usual, chastising his assistants for not relaying to Calbert Cheaney that he wanted him to check in at the scorer's table.
But the pressure was particularly evident on offense. The Wizards had been a nice blend of players in motion and crisp passes during their three-game winning streak coming into the game. All that disappeared in the opening minutes against the Celtics. The Wizards missed six of their first nine shots with a combination of rushed passes and forced field goal attempts.
They survived the poor start because Boston wasn't any better. Boston made its first two shots, then missed six of the next seven. It was 7-7 when the Wizards took a timeout with 6 minutes 39 seconds left in the first quarter.
The Wizards seemed to settle down after that, scoring on 10 of their last 12 possessions of the quarter to take a 25-17 lead.
That bulge grew to 15 points in the second quarter before Boston Coach Rick Pitino, back after being too ill to coach the Celtics in their victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, called a timeout with 9:19 left in the period. He then called for his team's vaunted full-court press.
In the teams' previous four meetings this caused problems for the Wizards. This time they got the ball upcourt without too much trouble, scoring on back-to-back dunks by Wallace the first two times they faced the pressure. Out of 10 possessions against it, they committed only one turnover.
But the press did have an impact. It helped the Celtics shrink the Wizards' lead to 50-49 at halftime because all the effort the Wizards required to get across half court safely appeared to sap their defensive intensity.
That lack of concentration was particularly apparent around the basket, as the Celtics scored eight of their last 11 points in the second quarter on putbacks and had nine offensive rebounds to Washington's four.

Well, the alto is the most popular pitch in the saxophone family and Buescher generally introduced changes in their alto designs first, and then migrated them to the other pitches.
2627xx to ca 267xxx; 1932 to 1934 * Aristocrat (Series I): s/n 267xxx to ca.
291xxx; 1934 to 1941 * Aristocrat "Big B" models: s/n 291xxx to ca.
Selmer Mark VI baritone, sopranos and sopraninos were available 15 years after their alto and tenor counterparts were discontinued and "migrated" to the Mark VII and Super 80 Series I).
The other major reasons are that I don't have enough pictures for all the pitches and it would be extremely time-consuming to post them all, even if I did.s/n ca.
Buescher saxophone's are typically marked with a serial number during the manufacturing process that allows you to identify the year the saxophone was made.
Using a computer with a working Internet connection, you can ascertain a Buescher saxophone's age in just a few minutes and with little effort. He holds an Associate of Arts in biology and tends to focus his writing on various health and science topics.
- It is probable that the 400 started and ended production slightly later than the Big B.

mergePatchPairs Problems
1 Attachment(s)
I am trying to mesh the attached drawing. Below is my blockMeshDict file which is receiving a fatal error when I try to run blockMesh. The error says "point 10 already marked for removal" and I'm not sure what this means. Any help getting this to work would be appreciated.
I can't look in detail to what you have done right now, but I have to say that when I use mergePatchPairs, I define the "master" and "slave" patches the other way around. The master is the one that remains in the end, not the one that is merged.
anon_a, that was exactly what was wrong. My "master" and "slave" patch definitions were backward. Thanks for your help!

One from the archives. Happy April Fools Day!
I am a compulsive
liarjoker. Some people (particularly men,) are somewhat unnerved by me because (amongst several other reasons I suspect,) they "never know when you're serious."
All this to say that my husband, after almost 14 years of marriage, is now wise to me and does not even do a double take when I flash a red Sharpie amended "positive" pregnancy test at him anymore. Bummer. However on one glorious Spring day a couple of years ago, when his guard was (foolishly) down, I had my moment.
At about 10am on April 1st, I called him at work and engaged him in some disarming chitchat.Then I lowered my tone into one of hushed urgency, "Aaron, this guy called and he said he needed to speak to you immediately. It sounded really serious, please call him right away and let me know, because I am stressing over what it could be!"
Aaron, being the obliging and obedient fellow he is, agreed to call promptly. I gave him the phone number of the local Zoo and told him to ask for "Mr. Lyon" (I even spelled it for him with the misleading "y" -ha! I have a criminal's eye for detail, folks).
And this is how it went down:
He called the Zoo, and dutifully asked for Mr. Lyon. He was informed that no such individual was available. He pressed them, "are you sure? I am returning his call, he said it was very urgent". A pause. Finally the resigned voice replied dead-pan, "Sir, this is the Zoo, it is April 1st, someone has fooled you".
Here's the best part, gentle reader:
My sweet, guileless, (momentarily) trusting husband then called me in great indignation to inform me that we had been tricked! It was only when my apoplectic laughter caused me to snort (in a genteel manner), that he finally....finally cottoned on.
"YOU!", he gasped aghast with shock and outrage. He had been had, and it was by she to whom he was wed. His sweet and loving wife, the very one!
His workmates still call him Mr. Lyon. One guy went so far as to call in a growly voice, identifying himself as Mr. Tiger.
Here are some of my other April Fool's Triumphs from years gone by.
PS: WINNER of the movie night giveaway (no fooling) is Samantha! She said, " I follow you here. This is such a cool prize... I like packages of related things like that."Congratulations! Send me your mailing deets asap.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Origins Available: English, Scottish
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. The name Wolterson comes from Wat, which is a diminutive form of Walter. This Old German name, which literally means mighty army, was introduced into England during the reign of Edward the Confessor and became one of the most popular personal names in that country following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The surname also features the suffix -son, which superseded other patronymic suffixes in popularity during the 14th century and was most popular in the north of England.
Wolterson Early Origins
Lewis Watson, afterwards created Lord Rockingham, and was besieged by the parliamentarian forces, who at the same time destroyed the tower and part of the nave of the church: the only remains of the castle are the two massive bastions that defended the entrance gateway." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
Wolterson Spelling Variations
Wolterson Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Wolterson include Wattson, Walterson, MacWattie and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Wolterson or a variant listed above: John Watson who settled in Virginia in 1620; the same year as the "Mayflower"; Abraham, Alice, Elizabeth, Francis, Joe, Margaret, and William Watson, all settled in Virginia in 1635.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Mea gloria fides
Motto Translation: Fidelity is my glory.

Mysore CafeTwin Cities, Minnesota
Closed as of Apr 4 082819 Hennepin Avenue
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55408
Veg-friendly Indian
Mysore Cafe used to be 100% vegetarian, but later started serving meat as well. Their menu still marks the vegan items, of which there are many. Fans of the old Udupi will recognize the menu items, as the menu seems to be nearly identical.
They also offer a lunch buffet every day from 11-3.
Added by Dave Rolsky on Jan 6 07 (last updated Apr 9 08)
Most Recent Reviews
Mysore offers a good dosa and a marginal South Indian buffet, with vegan options clearly marked, but I was disappointed that it recently added chicken to the menu and to the buffet. This is a huge disappointment not only because meat has no traditional place in South Indian food (it seems to have been jammed in at Mysore for business reasons), but also because it alienates the vegetarian community, Indian or otherwise. Given the unspectacular food, and that Minneapolis has three much better and pure vegetarian Indian restaurants, I wouldn't recommend Mysore. Try The Vegetarian or Nalapak or Bombay 2 Deli instead.
We have never been treated so poorly at any establishement. I would rather eat a steak than go back there. We are never going back.

The new religion has arrived. While spin studios like Quad and CYKL have been in Toronto for years, you may have noticed new spin studios popping up every few weeks across the city in the past few months.
With the arrival of Spokehaus this summer, it was clear that Toronto is hungry for a cult-like spin experience and it's not surprising to see SoulCycle from the U.S. and Vancouver-based RIDE hot on its heels to answer that prayer.
Enter the Church of Spin
You arrive at RIDE Cycle Club and are checked in by a bubbly front desk employee. You enter the change room filled with more bubbly women and a couple of men. The women are all tiny, donning tiny and trendy sports bras that put my Nike uni-boob to shame. Some are inexplicably fit (like seriously did you get that 8-pack from spin classes and if so please sign me up for 2 every day until I have that too). When you're ready (are you ever ready?!) you filter into a candlelit room and mount your bike. Avoid the front row – that's where the regulars and best spinners sit.
When the instructor begins their sermon, the crowd gathered get serious. During the next 45 minutes you learn a new language – the language of spin. Certain prompts from the instructor are met with screams of ecstacy, joy, and devotion, as well as enthusiastic towel waving. The most devoted don branded merchandise like trendy toques and strappy sports bras. And I personally said a few prayers during the arm workout.
When you return to the change room after stretching out your screaming muscles the lights turn on and you bond with your sweaty comrades over the service. And you immediately look forward to the next sermon.
The Church of Spin is now open. RIDE Cycle Club Toronto opens in March 2017 on Ossington.

Come Dine With Me tragedy as 'best ever' contestant Dawn Barry dies after alcohol battle
COME DINE WITH ME contestant Dawn Barry has died, aged just 36, after years of suffering from alcoholism.
The beautician - who was voted as one of the show's greatest ever contestants - was rushed to hospital on Tuesday after a recent stint in rehab, but died shortly after.
It is believed that the Lancashire-born blonde killed herself after a long battle with alcoholism and depression.
Her devastated father Raymond said: "It's heartbreaking. She was a lovely girl, but she was ill and did not want to be here anymore.
"The drink - vodka - had got hold of her."
"It's heartbreaking. She was a lovely girl, but she was ill and did not want to be here anymore."
Her appearance on Come dine With Me made her one of the most memorable contestants ever after her erratic behaviour throughout the week culminated in her going to bed and falling asleep on the night she was meant to be hosting.
She made a starter for her guests but went to bed before the main - of supermarket-bought Mexican food - was cooked and served.
Leaving her guests to fend for themselves, viewers were left wondering if the bubbly star suffered from narcolepsy.
But it was revealed that she had been dealing with alcohol and mental problems for a number of years and had just come back from a stint in rehab.
Dawn had been seeking celebrity stardom for just over a decade on a string of reality television shows.
And after appearing on Blind Date and Club Reps, the glamorous salon owner from Lancashire finally got her shot to fame as a contestant on the TV cookery programme in January 2009.
Friends and family have taken to social networking site Facebook to leave tributes.
