Paris Parham is in second season as an assistant coach on John Groce's Fighting Illini staff. The Chicago native is an 18-year veteran of the coaching profession.
Parham came to Illinois after five years as an assistant at Illinois State. ISU won 104 games during Parham's tenure on former head coach Tim Jankovich's staff. The Redbirds recorded four 20-plus win seasons in five years, advancing to the NIT four times and the Missouri Valley Tournament championship game three times.
Parham spent the previous three years in Chicago, serving one season as head coach at Morgan Park (2007) and two seasons as head coach at Phillips Academy (2005-06). He was the Chicago Public League's Red-Central Coach of the Year in 2005 after leading Phillips to an undefeated conference record. During this time, Parham also coached with the AAU program Full Package and assisted at the Chicago Bulls Training Academy.
Prior to his coaching stops at the high school level, Parham served for three seasons as an assistant coach at Maryland-Eastern Shore (2002-04). He entered the coaching ranks at his alma mater, Minnesota State (formerly Mankato State), serving as a graduate assistant (1996) before spending five seasons as an assistant coach (1997-2001).
Parham's collegiate playing career included two years each at Lincoln College (1992-93) and Minnesota State (1994-95). At Lincoln, Parham was a two-year team captain and set the school's single-season assist record.
Parham completed his career at Minnesota State with 556 points in 54 games (10.3 ppg). He led the team in assists in consecutive years, with his 5.2 average ranking eighth on the Mavericks' all-time single season assists list. He also still holds the school record for career steals average at 1.9 spg. Parham earned All-North Central Conference (NCC) honorable mention honors as a senior in 1995 and also was named the league's co-most improved player.
Parham earned two degrees from Minnesota State, a bachelor's in business administration in 1995 and a master's in education administration in 2000. He and his wife, Keisha, have two sons, Paris Jr. and Kai.

Liverpool begin life without Luis
It was a barnstorming introduction to life on Tyneside. With instability swirling around St James' Park, the side nurtured by Chris Hughton was no longer being led by him, with Alan Pardew having taken the reins.
As the shock of Hughton's departure began to sink in, banners with correctly-spelled messages eulogised him. As faux-philosopher Joey Barton preached: "The king is dead, long live the king."
Pardew had some way to go before he could earn the sort of admiration Hughton had garnered. On a cold Saturday evening against Roy Hodgson's Liverpool, that love was reserved for a ponytailed number nine.
An injury-time goal from the powerful and uncompromising Andy Carroll completed a 3-1 victory and crowned a fine team performance that boasted the kind of vivacity associated with the fixture during the 4-3 classics of the 1990s.
Last season's fixture was memorable for its sense of pantomime, with Carroll and Jose Enrique part of a visiting team defeated 2-0. The former had exited his hometown club after having said he wanted to spend his entire career on Tyneside, while the latter had said the Magpies would never challenge for the top six under Mike Ashley's ownership.
With Carroll substituted on 79 minutes and Enrique ending the match in goal, donning Pepe Reina's gloves after his compatriot's dismissal, the chants were inevitable: "We're in the top six, Jose Enrique. We're in the top six."
Like many of that Newcastle side, Enrique had forged a bond with the fans during a season in the Championship and, while his decision to leave was understandable, his claims about their prospects under Ashley were not.
This time, the full-back will return to St James' Park feeling somewhat vindicated: Pardew's second season has gone down as well as Carroll's dive in front of the Leazes End last season. Injuries, suspensions and fatigue have all been cited in mitigation, but little explanation has been offered for the poor standard of play in general.
Last year, Pardew had cultivated a fluid front three that dazzled. Now, he prefers 4-3-2-1, and recent games have seen him relying on the acceleration of Moussa Sissoko. Injury-time goals have often been Newcastle's redemption this season, and the manager finds himself embroiled in his most testing period since taking charge at the club.
Having been forced to evolve his side in the wake of Carroll's sale to Liverpool, he will need to once again reinvent them if he is to recapture hearts and minds at St James' Park.
Liverpool, by contrast, find themselves in a more stable position than when travelling north last year. Then under the guidance of Kenny Dalglish, the image of Steven Gerrard gesturing to him to get off the pitch after Reina's sending off suggested the King's return was to be brief.
With the club now led by Brendan Rodgers, the ship has been steadying, although the latest Luis Suarez controversy has been making waves. The Northern Irishman's calm approach to the biting incident had appeared more measured than Dalglish's defence of the Uruguayan after the Patrice Evra affair, but that perception was diminished slightly by his midweek claim that Suarez's ten-game ban was harsh and that the player was being victimised by the FA.
Even so, the manager's desire to defend Suarez can be easily explained given that he is the Premier League's second-top scorer this season. With Carroll having been sent out on loan, he will not be able to fill the void, but Pardew will be hoping that his French contingent can provide a sprinkle of deja-vu.
Liverpool player to watch: Steven Gerrard. Gerrard will need to show his class and experience to come out on top at St James' Park. The England captain can use his power to outmuscle the Newcastle midfield, but still needs to be wary of Sissoko, whose pace on the counter can be devastating. If he can sit deep and look for pockets of space, he will negate any physical battle.
Newcastle player to watch: Papiss Cisse. It was a surprise to learn that the striker had been playing with a cracked rib, but he is central to his side's hopes. Often unable to do the simple but capable of the sublime, he will be looking to torment Liverpool as he did last season, when he netted both goals in this fixture.
Key Battle: Steven Taylor v Daniel Sturridge. Once an over-eager youth player who feigned a rib injury to avoid being sent off for handling the ball, it's easy to forget that Taylor is now 27 years old. The more senior partner of the club's defensive pairing, Saturday's match-up against Sturridge is the kind of situation in which he has floundered in the past. It is important that January signing Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, a more composed defender, provides a steadying influence.
Trivia: When Carroll joined Liverpool in January 2011, Newcastle collected an initial fee of £35 million. Against West Bromwich Albion last week, the Magpies' starting XI cost the exact same amount. Newcastle could yet collect another £5 million in add-ons for the 24-year-old, which would cover all but two of the seven substitutes named that day.
Stats: Despite being noted for their impressive defensive record during Pardew's first campaign, the Magpies have only been able to keep five clean sheets in the Premier League this season. Liverpool, meanwhile, have found sharing the goals difficult. Suarez is the only Reds player to reach double figures in the league this season, and the striker has also netted almost half the club's goals away from Anfield. If Newcastle are able to strike first, they may hold the advantage, with only three of Liverpool's 13 wins this season having seen them recover from behind.
Odds: The home side are underdogs with bet365 at 2.87, with Liverpool at 2.40 and the draw 3.50.
Prediction: Backed by a hopeful home crowd, Newcastle can earn a draw and continue their slow march towards safety.

In case this thing's still going on, I've turned in my 360 and picked up a PS3 in return. Couldn't go without NHL 10 though, even if I gotta work my way up to Legend again. Still getting used to the PS3 controls but I did manage 3 goals and an assist in my first OTP game so I guess I'm not that bad.

Thanks for joining us folks and do return for more live action on Thursday. It's Cameroon v Netherlands, Denmark v Japan, Paraguay v New Zealand and Italy v Slovakia.
It's the end of an era for many of these Australian players, while for Serbia it has been a World Cup of diappointment that even the victory against Germany will not temper. More was expected but we have our first and only African side in the second round.
The report for Australia 2-1 Serbia can be found here.
Serbia's fate was in their own hands but they've blown it and despite losing 1-0 to Germany, it is Ghana who will face USA in the second round, while there is the mouthwatering clash between germany and England.
FULL-TIME. Australia 2-1 Serbia. A battling second half performance from the Socceroos has given them the win after they were completely outclassed in the first period. Serbia will be left ruing their missed chances - notably Zigic's free header.
It's all over...
He's knocked it over in the clear, but he was offside anyway.
Pantelic has missed a sitter
Lazovic's cross and it drops to Tosic who's shot is blocked away by Chipperfield.
Well over!
Shot from Tosic...
Headed clear but Serbia stil pushing.
Lazovic crosses in but it's out for a corner. Exciting stuff.
Well the game has burst into life in the second half, and it's still in the balance. Can Serbia find a goal from somewhere?
Carl Valeri of Australia heads the ball clear.
Lazovic shoots wide.
He should have perhaps done better from inside the area but he curled it wide of the left-hand post.
Just wide from Kennedy.
Australia still pushing forward but it's certainly over for them.
Pantelic has the ball in the back of the nest but he's offside by a matter of inches. Correct decision.
Poor from Schwarzer and if Serbia get another goal, they will go through on goals scored.
GOAL. Pantelic is on the mark as Schwarzer spills Tosic's long range shot.
Ball down the line towards Emerton from Culina, but it's overhit.
Australia sub: Garcia on for Wilshere
Holman penalised for a foul on Obradovic.
Wilshire's cross straight into Stoijkovic's hands.
Tosic with a lovely turn to open up some space for Stankovic but Australia can break now.
Pantelic through down the right, but it's deflected back off him and out for a goal-kick. He has made little impact since he came on.
Serbia sub: Lazovic on for kuzmanovic
Headed away by Emerton and Lukovic tries a speculative effort from distance.
Free-kick for Serbia, they need a big turnaround. Tosic to take.
Australia were so poor in the first half but they have come out with real fight and deserve their lead really.
Amazing stuff, Serbia have collapsed and they are stunned. A two-shot swing is now needed for Australia to progress.
GOAL! What a strike from Holman - the man who scored against Ghana has unleashed one from 30 yards, right into the bottom corner.
ESPN Stats & Info: Cahill scored the most headed goals in the Premier League last season (seven).
Corner for Serbia after some good work down the right by the sub Tosic.
As things stand, Australia need to score three more goals. Or hope Germany score a few more goals. Or hope that Ghana come back to win. It's all still to play for.
That goal was from absolutely nothing, neither side had created anything for a good while.
Stankovic shoots over from distance.
GOAL Tim Cahill heads it in ahead of Vidic. Fantastic header.
Stat Attack: Dejan Stankovic has appeared at the World Cup finals for Yugoslavia (1998), Serbia & Montenegro (2006) and Serbia (2010). No other player has taken the field at the World Cup finals for three different nations. Eleven players have appeared for two nations, most famously Ferenc Puskas (Hungary 1954, Spain 1962).
Serbia sub: Pantelic on for Zigic
Australia sub: Chipperfield on for Bresciano
Australia sub: Holman on for Valeri
But it's a great challenge from Ivanovic.
Bresciano shoots from outside the area and Stoijkovic palms it straight out towards Cahill...
Ivanovic smashes it clear after Kennedy almost created a shooting opportunity inside the box.
Lovely turn by Kennedy but Vidic holds his position and gets an important tackle in.
Serbia sub: Tosic on for Krasic
Germany have scored against Ghana - Ozil has made it 1-0. As things stand, Ghana are still going through.
Australia looking a little brighter now. Serbia have taken their foot off the gas in the second half.
Stat Attack: There have been six red cards in the last four World Cup finals matches involving Australia.
Good effort from Bresciano from the free-kick. His low powerful effort is pushed around the post by Stoijkovic.
Ninkovic lunges in on Wilshere and his late challenge is rightly punished with a booking.
Stat Attack: Australa have never beaten European opposition at the World Cup. They've lost four and drawn one.
Krasic feeds it to Jovanovic who tiptoes his way past Wilshere into the area, but Beauchamp comes across and shows good strength to see him off the ball.
Long range effort from Culina drifts wide. Was a bit closer than Serbia goalkeeper Stoijkovic thought though.
Australia striker Tim Cahill heads at goal.
He brings it down just inside the area and after setting himself up smashes it up and over. Undoubtedly should have done better.
Great chance for Zigic.
Well said.
Michael Hogg on Facebook says: We are playing as if we only need a 1-0 win. It is so frustrating to be supporting a squad with four strikers in it, and only one actually being played. Can see us snatching one via either Cahlill or Bresciano.
Good flick on by Kennedy and Cahill slices his shot wide.
Scrappy period of play here.
Ivan Obradovic of Serbia tackles Brett Emerton
Wilkshire fouls Ninkovic and it's another yellow card.
Beauchamp booked for a late challenge on Jovanovic.
That's right it's Josh Kennedy. Knocked into the arms of Stoijkovic.
Emerton advances for the Socceroos and the ball is fired in towards, guess who?
Australia striker Josh Kennedy heads the ball.
Bresciano whips it in from the left and Zigic knocks it away.
No changes as yet, Australia start it off on the front foot though and have an early free-kick after Cahill is brought down by Vidic.
We're off for the second half...
Australia certainly need to change things if they have any chance of winning. Holman could be an option from the bench.
The second place team will take on Group C winners USA after they scored a last-gasp winner against Algeria.
The winner from this group will face England in the second round. They beat Slovenia 1-0 to progress.
I second that Dom.
Dom at Soccernet HQ has been mesmerised by the first half in this one: Australia have looked pretty dire and it seems like it will only be a matter of time before Serbia make the breakthrough.
It's still 0-0 between Ghana and Germany which means that those two sides will be going through as things stand.
Lucas Neill told Australian fans to believe before the game but there has been little to smile about so far.
ESPN Stats & Info: The Socceroos have never won - drawn three, lost three - at the World Cup when level after 45 minutes.
First half highlight: Great save from Schwarzer to deny Ivanovic.
A really poor first half from Australia, with Kennedy the only real outlet and even he has been feeding on scraps. Serbia have knocked it around well, with the movement of Krasic and Jovanovic causing plenty of problems.
HALF-TIME. Serbia 0-0 Australia.
Australia finsihign the half on the attack. Emerton crosses into Kennedy and he heads it into the grateful grasp of Wigan number two Stoijkovic.
Mark Schwarzer makes a save.
Kennedy rises like a salmon but his header is flicked harmlessly wide.
The delivery searches for Zigic but it's headed away. Now Australia have a free-kick of their own inside the Serbia half.
Serbia free-kick from the right wing. Dangerous position.
Jovanovic welcomes the ball into the danger zone with a left wing cross but it's cleaned up by Carney.
Stat Attack: Harry Kewell was sent off against Ghana, after Tim Cahill was shown a red card against Germany. No team in World Cup history has received a red card in three consecutive games. Many teams have had a man sent off in two straight games, most recently the Czech Republic and Serbia and Montenegro in 2006, and Paraguay in 2002.
The resulting corner for Australia is out for a goal-kick. I've certainly seen better deliveries.
Good couple of chances for Australia. Great interchange between Cahill and Carney and on the stretch Cahill diverted the ball towards Kennedy inside the area who has a couple of efforts blocked.
And he was a good yard off. Schwarzer let his shot in tamely but he will claim he heard the whistle I'm sure.
Goal for Krasic...no, it's ruled out for offside.
Oodles of possession for Serbia.
Free-kick played short to Stankovic who passed it to Ninkovic but he couldn't manufacture a decent cross. That move had better stay on the training ground in the future.
Emerton penalised for failing to keep his hands off Jovanovic.
Milos Krasic and Carl Valeri.
Great cross from Ivanovic and for a 6ft 7 in forward, Zigic's headed effort was very poor. Especially as he was unmarked in the box.
What a miss from Zigic.
Ivanovic crosses from the right and Zigic was loitering with intent had Neill not been in position to head away.
Chance for Cahill. Bresciano curled it in from the left wing and Cahill climbed higher than Lukovic. But his header was well wide. At last something for Verbeek's side to shout about - well, maybe whisper about.
Kennedy back to win the ball in midfield.
Impressive but then it is given away and normal service is resumed.
I just counted three, four Socceroos passes.
Australia have really struggled to string more then a couple of passes together since the opening minute. The Kennedy Experiment of knocking it long has been unsuccessful thus far.
Offside flag up against Kuzmanovic.
Mark Bresciano and Branislav Ivanovic.
Stankovic tries one from distance. He hits the target, but the target was a large Australian goalkeeper who claims it easily.
Krasic with a searching ball, but all it found was the top of Schwarzer's net. There seems to be an awful lot of space down the right of midfield for Serbia.
Tim Cahill and Dejan Stankovic battle.
Serbia definitely looking the livelier of the two sides.
Ivanovic was completely free in the box and he struck a fierce shot that was blocked superbly by the Fulham goalkeeper.
GREAT SAVE by Schwarzer!
Jovanovic with an inventive through ball towards Kuzmanovic but it's too hard and, pacy as he is, he can't quite reach it.
Bresciano's corner dealt with by Jovanovic.
Lukovic climbs above Cahill and it's a Socceroos corner now.
Bresciano angles it in towards Kennedy and it's out for a Socceroos throw deep in Serbian territory.
Free-kick delivered from the right of midfield towards Kennedy but Cahill penalised for a shoulder charge on Vidic.
Lukovic booked for a late challenge on Wilkshire.
Jovanovic with a teasing cross from the left-wing towards Zigic. But handled admirably by Beauchamp.
ESPN Stats & Info: Serbia's shooting accuracy before this game was 14% - the second lowest after Honduras at the 2010 World Cup.
Kuzmanovic gets inside the area and strikes it wide with his right foot. He escaped the clutches of Neill a little too easily.
Ninkovic brought down by Emerton.
Valeri looks long but it was overhit.
Kuzmanovic penalised for fouling Bresciano in midfield.
It was Krasic who originally headed it away and having continued his run Jovanovic played a pinpoint through ball.
The corner was cleared and Krasic sped away on the break - took it around Schwarzer but then fired it over. Very weak defending.
GREAT CHANCE for Krasic!
Turned away by Obradovic, corner for Australia.
Cahill leaps for a flick on and Carney crosses in from the left...
Kennedy comes deep for the ball and releases Cahill down the right. But his cross is cleaned up easily and Serbia come away with the ball.
The ball finds its way to Stankovic and he tries an optimistic effort from distance which sails harmlessly over.
Serbia corner now - Vidic and Ivanovic forward.
Wilkshire and Culina combine down the right and I'm surprised they haven't looked a little more often for the giant Kennedy in the early stages.
Just before that Krasic chance, Bresciano swung one in for Kennedy but it was headed out and that's where Serbia broke from.
Poor delivery and it's a goal-kick to the Socceroos.
Krasic into the area now for Serbia and Schwarzer palms it away for a corner from his shot.
Culina brings Australia forward and Bresciano does well, playing a one-two with Emerton.
Ninkovic feeds in Krasic who looks for an optimistic cross-field pass. Doesn't find the target though.
Emerton exchanges passes with a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed Cahill. He looks excited to be back in the starting line-up.
Krasic now down the right showing a good turn of pace and he's into the area but quickly over. He looks for a penalty but he went down far too easily.
Australia keep hold of the ball to begin with, but it's given away to Zigic who, fortunately for the Socceroos, can't get it under control.
ESPN Stats & Info: The Socceroos are without a win in their last five games at the World Cup finals (two draws and three defeats).
And we're off...
I will of course keep you updated on how things progress in the other game too.
That's the Serbian anthem by the way!
And now "Boze pravde" rings out around the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
Australia Fair blares out of the tannoy and the Socceroos players sing their hearts out.
Australia MUST win. That is an absolute certainty. And for them to go through, they realistically need Ghana to win. If Germany win, Australia need a five goal swing in their favour against Ghana.
I hope that made some sense - now for Australia.
Serbia are in the stronger position and it is simple for them. A win takes them through whatever happens in the Ghana v Germany match. A draw for them and a win for Ghana would also take them through, while a draw in both matches would see Germany and Ghana through, while Serbia exit on goal difference.
Of course we have a number of different potential scenarios so let me take you through it for these two teams.
The only change for Serbia is Obradovic in for Kolarov.
So big news for Australia is that Tim Cahill returns from his suspension. But they have Craig Moore and Harry Kewell missing for this one - the latter's dismissal against Ghana caused much consternation in the Socceroos camp.
Serbia: Stojkovic, Ivanovic, Vidic, Lukovic, Obradovic, Stankovic, Kuzmanovic, Ninkovic, Krasic, Jovanovic, Zigic
Australia: Schwarzer, Wilkshire, Beauchamp, Neill, Carney, Culina, Valeri, Emerton, Cahill, Bresciano, Kennedy
I've got some team news for you now.
Hello everyone and welcome to live text commentary of Australia v Serbia - Group D is very much still in the balance and we should be in for an exciting contest.
Join us at 1830 GMT to see if Serbia or Australia can claim a place in the second round.

Making 100 mini sugru sculptures called 'netsukemon'
Yesterday was the 100th day of 2014. Yesterday was also the day we discovered Russell Davies' amazing collection of 'netsukemon'!
Russell was inspired by netsuke, the ancient 17th Japanese miniature sculptures, and his son's pokemon toys and cards!
"I've been making one a day since the first of January, it's quick and very satisfying."
"To make them seem more like art I've been putting them in a glass cabinet!"
It's amazing how different they each look, so full of character!
(Looks like googly eyes are becoming a bit of a trend across the web recently)
Aside from inventing these awesome little creations, Russell is a Creative Director at UK Government Digital Service, and a founder of Newspaper Club. He is also no stranger to 100 day projects, having last year finished '100 days of drawing project' - a collection of lovely observational drawings that capture little snippets of his day to day. Check out the full series over on his Flickr.
Russell has been a sugru-er from day 1, and has previously experimented with making figures with cast pewter and sugru - Wow!
Make sure to take a look at Russell's blog and you can follow him on twitter @undermanager.
Exciting News... new product in development
We don't know how she kept it so quiet, but for the last few months long after the sugru team have headed home for the day, Jane has been secretly working on something in the sugru lab! After countless hours of mixing, testing, studying and experimenting she couldn't resist telling us...
Today ladies and gentlemen, we introduce... Invisible sugru™
Let us explain... from the very start we believed making sugru in bright primary colours would encourage people to take pride in their fixes — we were wrong.
We thought that colourful sugru could help reenergise a forgotten culture that celebrated fixing and making things — again, we were wrong.
So we decided that today was the perfect time to release our new beta invisible sugru to the world!
— No longer will we showcase the failure of multi-national product brands.
— No longer will you need to inspire others with your fixes and creations.
With new invisible sugru, products can remain generic, characterless and looking perfect forever!
Note: We'd also like to quell the rumours that we may have somehow copied or even stolen this technology from Hogwarts — this is proprietary sugru technology. No Demiguises were harmed in the development of Invisible sugru.
sugru + magnets + Hackney Laces women's football team
In 2011 Katee Hui (yes 2 ee's!) founded Hackney Laces — a community football club near to sugru HQ in East London. It gives girls aged 12 to 17 a chance to play football and learn new skills, on and off the pitch. The club has now grown to over 80 girls and is run by Emma, Jenny, Jess, Katee , Keisha, Lottie and Sarah. All female. All footballers — all awesome!
The team have been on a mission to find an easier way to attach the football nets each weekend for their games — that is until Katee found the perfect solution, using sugru + magnets! Over to Katee to explain...
These are the rather awkward clips that I used previously to attached the net to itself around the bars.
Necessity is the mother of invention and with a little help from sugru, I have solved my stress. These little sugru pouches full of fixing magic are now being sold in packs with magnets. It's the perfect combo for hacking things better - like nets!
To ensure my hack would work, I made a little model of the goal using the magnets on the fridge, so I knew how many I'd need.
Then I began moulding and attaching and patiently waiting the 24 hours needed for it to dry. The next day, just like magic I tested the nets on the shower rod in the bathroom. Sure enough, the hack held and I will now have 2 extras hours every weekend. I'm also going to feel incredibly smug like I've won something!
We just love all the different of ideas you keep sharing with us — this is one of the best sugru + magnets projects we've seen so far!
Katee was recognised at the British Volunteer Awards in 2012, and last year was interviewed on the news about the club's success! — way to go Katee :)

17 telltale signs you're probably a sugru mum...
sugru mums inspire us with their ingenuity, resourcefulness and wit - let's count the ways they rock!
1. On a rainy day you can make games from anything
— make sugru stamps —
When the weather outside has foiled your plans, sugru mums never fear. Like Lise and her kids who created a new day called 'International Monster Day'! "We created stamps in the shapes of monsters. Once the sugru had cured, we made collages using paint."
2. You prefer your kids to be... well, kids!
— make waterproof knee patches —
Try as you might, kids will always be kids. Let's face it, when you're little mud is just too much fun not to mess around in. Make them some waterproof knee patches with sugru, and that's one less thing to worry about.
3. You make their shoes last a little longer
— patch up their worn out shoes —
Kids can burn through a new pair of shoes in no time. Use a little sugru and make them last until they grow out of them!
"My daughter scooters to school every day and had scuffed her pink trainers to the point of no return, or so we thought. I cracked open a pack of red and white sugru, mixed them until I made the perfect pink and applied it over the trainers. Not only will it protect them to ensure the rain doesn't come in, it also means I've extended the lives of these pink shoes, delaying that inevitable and expensive trip to the children's shoe shop for a few more months!" — sugru Mum, Lauren
4. You don't replace the extra special things, you rescue them
— mend their favourite lunchbox —
Kids quickly get attached to their things, so replacing them just isn't an option. When Spidey took a fall, it was a good job mum was there with the sugru, ready to patch him up.
5. A little eye surgery is all in a day's work
— rescue his best friend —
Stefanie's son Arthur had been missing his best friend, Elmo, while he was in for a little sugru eye surgery. It's all worth it for the priceless happy reunion.
6. You mend things, just to see their faces light up
— repair a much loved game —
Judy's son's table football had seen better days and needed some TLC. "I even prepared two different colours of sugru, to match the two team colours!" - Nice one Mum.
7. You know how to stop the tears, before they even start
— mend a broken toy light —
Delphine's daughter had a favourite night lamp that she totally loved. "The inside part was attached by a little plastic piece, which broke after a few severe bangs on the floor." — uh oh.
But I sugru-ed all pieces together, and it works as new!"
8. You find little solutions so you don't have to nag
— avoid car door scratches with sugru bumpers —
"My 4-year old daughter loves to get out of the car by herself, she gives the door a shove and then BAM! She hits the carport and dings the door. sugru is the cure for my problem!"
9. You know the value of small improvements
— modify a music stand —
Nothing is more annoying than being in the middle of a song when your music falls off the stand, crashes to the floor and all the sheets in the file splay out across the stage! A few little nubs of sugru and hey presto! Problem sorted.
10. You let your kids play with the grown ups things too
— make a bouncy kidproof camera —
Bring out the budding photographer in your kids! Let them capture moments just like the grown ups.
11. You can design yourself a little peace and quiet
— add a sugru bumper to a noisy door —
There are only so many times sugru mums will put up with the clatter of metal on tile - ouch!
12. You don't live with little problems, you solve them
— seal a roll top bath with sugru —
Save yourself the hassle of a flooded bathroom floor every morning.
13. You come up with genius solutions
— refresh worn off lettering on the cooker —
Lollypop stick? Not to a sugru mum, it's the perfect tool to refresh the worn off lettering on the cooker.
14. You quite like it when little things around the house need mending
— sort out the little jobs that need doing around the home —
Wear and tear is inevitable. But sugru mums just mend and move on.
15. You can make anything look good
— create a display for family treasures —
"I found some fishing equipment that belonged to my grand-mother. Glue was not an option. So I selected a frame, I arranged the bits and pieces and stuck them to a thick cardboard with blobs of white sugru... (you can see some holding the fishhook). Ta daaaaa. This will bring to my family such nice memories of my adventurous grandma." — Francesca
16. To you, nothing is 'beyond repair'
— mend a loved piece of furniture —
"I invited my mother to help me out fixing this beloved but battered stool. At first she seemed almost frightened, but then she really got into it. It was lovely to see how she opened up to the many possibilities and she was very pleased to have her 'ironing stool' finally fixed!" — Clara, Belgium
17. You're always looking out for your own mum
— resize your mum's wedding ring —
"This is my mum Dorothy Penhaligon, aged 80. She married my dad in 1954, (she's shrunk quite a bit since then!) Her problem was that her wedding ring is now way too big, and she was afraid of losing it. Ever resourceful, she'd wound a bit of string round it, but it wasn't very satisfactory. So, sugru to the rescue, we wrapped a blob round the back of the ring, and it's now set to a comfortable fit. Hurray!" — Sylvia

A Talk and Discussion with Adrian Favell, UCLA at Royal/T in Culver City
Wednesday, June 11, 20087:00 PMRoyal/T8910 Washington BlvdCulver City, CA 90232
Royal/T, the new playful collision of spaces– café/shop/art space– and Los Angeles' first Japanese inspired maid café presents its inaugural public programming event, a lecture and discussion with Adrian Favell titled, Tokyo Tremors: Four New Waves in Japanese Contemporary Art.
The global success of Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara has opened up a new visibility for Japanese contemporary art. As "otaku" impresarios, they have brilliantly channeled the groundswell of creative talent in Japan that emerged out of the economic collapse of the early 1990s, as young people have searched for alternatives to corporate lifestyles and traditional family roles. While some of this new generation have followed the influences of the "superflat" fusion of high art and pop culture and its provocative methods, others are charting quite different paths, drawing on popular girls culture, avant garde movements, and the opening of Japan to transformative pan-Asian and global currents.
Favell will present a guide to four new waves of Japanese contemporary art, which bring contrasting perspectives on Japanese culture and society. Along the way, he will present and discuss the work of Mika Kato, Erina Matsui, Toshiyuki Konishi, Mika Ninagawa, Mikiko Hara, Miwa Yanagi, Pyuupiru, Tatzu Nishi, Chiharu Shiota, Tabaimo, Kei Takemura, and Kohei Nawa, among others. Selected works by Mika Ninagawa from the recent UCLA exhibition and event, Sweet & Bitter: Contemporary "Girl Photography" From Japan will also be on show.

Their guy was fantastic! He showed up on time and got the work done quickly. He is enjoyable to chat with, too! A genuine and honest guy. I would highly recommend them to others.
Excellent – I will surely hire people from this company again and again. They always are ready to come to anyone in times of emergency. They are for real available 24/7, not like others who claim to be available anytime but weekends. They know that time is important and not one second should be wasted. True professionals, real experts. This is what people from th is company are.
If you're ever in an emergency like I was (locked out of my house with the wife and kids at 11pm - waaay past bedtime) then you should give this company a call! They were super friendly, dirt cheap, fast, and very helpful. All in all my experience with them was surprisingly great.

Easy Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 1 week - interviewed at EY in January 2012.
Interview Details I was referred to EY by a friend and former coworker as an experienced hire. I applied through the website, was contacted by their HR department and flew to NYC for my interview. I interviewed with a senior manager, an executive director and a partner. The interview questions mostly focused on my prior work experience. Everyone seemed very intelligent, friendly enough and highly ambitious - so very New York City. I was somewhat "sold to" on opportunities I would have to help them upgrade their technology to be paperless but this did not pan out as these decisions are made only at much higher levels.
Interview Question – I was not asked any tax technical questions or other hard interview questions. I was mostly prompted to talk about my prior work experience which I did not find difficult. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I was not able to negotiate a higher salary even though I had a higher offer from another firm which I communicated to the HR person. She said that once the offer had been approved by all the different channels, there was basically no way to negotiate. I accepted the lower offer from EY because I need Big 4 experience on my resume.

Difficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at EY.
Interview Details This was for an interview over ten years ago, so the process may have changed somewhat. I received the interview through an employee referral, who referred me to a recruiter.
It was similar to most other management consulting interviews--that is to say, very thorough, multiple rounds with different people in the group at various management levels, and thought-provoking questions. I was interviewing with other management consulting firms and investment banks at the same time, so it was nothing unexpected. However, I did put in numerous hours of company and industry research, informational interviews, networking, and application preparation. The interview process was difficult, but I was hired in a business advisory group that led to some very interesting work and a great professional springboard.
I'd recommend EY to anyone who wants to a strong start to their career learning for business fundamentals or a seasoned professional who's looking for a new challenge in their next career step.
Interview Question – I was asked to do a four-wall analysis on a hypothetical retail chain. I had no idea what it was at the time since I was just coming out of college. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – The negotiation process was interesting and a win-win proposition. They provided a great salary, sign-on bonus, relocation, and a great benefits package.

Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 months - interviewed at EY in September 2013.
Interview Details I had been on their automated email for job postings for close to 6 months and applied to several open positions. Finally after many failed attempts received a phone call and email from a recruiter asking me some questions. Nothing hard, just basic stuff like "what are you currently doing..", and "are you available to work at EY..".
That was followed by an email from their scheduler requesting several times and dates to have a phone interview with their recruiter. EY was very good at meeting my time requirements, and the phone interview went without a hitch. I received some basic questions like "tell me about yourself..", "..do you oppose travel..", and some other basic questions about my current job responsibilities.
This was followed by another phone interview with another recruiter probably verifying whatever the first recruiter thought, or there were issues and needed a second opinion. This again followed the same scheduling as the first phone interview. This interview lasted about 45 minutes, and it seemed that all we really did was chat about me and what i'm looking to get out of EY.
I waited a week or two and was contacted again for a face to face interview. The head recruiter asked me to supply several times and dates to meet. EY did a great job meeting my time requirements once again.
I met with 4 Senior Managers and each interview lasted roughly 45 minutes - 60 minutes. I killed the interview and was very pleased with the conversations. However i was very nervous for the long afternoon of interviewing. All the questions had been based on how I would handle a situation. I have a lot of work experience so I was able to tie similar scenarios to the questions. My advise is to prep for behavioral interviews. I didn't think I was well prepared and BS'd a lot. Be confident.
I waited another two weeks and was asked to come back for yet another face to face, but this time was with a Partner. I had no idea what to expect and couldn't find any relevant interview prep to meeting with a Partner in NYC office. I felt i went in cold and unprepared. All I did was make sure I had some questions prepared and I was able to answer the question "tell me about yourself"..though that never came up.
The Partner Interview went really well. I was made to feel very welcome and the conversation was more of two buddies catching up on current events. My advise here is to also tie old responsibilities to the conversation. For example, I'm an auditor and we had been discussing what I thought about a particular article that we both read. I shared a brief 2 minute story of something i had done a few years before. That type of scenario leads to more engaging conversation and allows the applicant to steer the questions and topics. Just don't talk to long.
That went really well and two weeks later I was called by the recruiter and we discussed salary etc. I wasn't wowed by the offer so I pushed back a little. About another week went by and I received a verbal offer followed by a written offer 2-5 days later which I had accepted.
Total effort was brutal and very time consuming.
Interview Question – Tell me about your dream job View Answer
Negotiation Details – Not too difficult. I know the market rate for senior auditors and EY was a little short. I pushed back with data and job history and EY went back to the drawing board. They came back a week later with a better offer. Still not great, but they made a great effort for showing that they want me.

Obama Stresses Science and Technology as a Crucial Part of Economic Growth
President Barack Obama's desire to create more jobs in an effort to boost economic growth has caused much talk in the technology-centered Triangle area. Science and technology sector job growth will play an important role in boosting national economic strength.
According to White House data, for every one job opening across the nation, there are four job-seekers. Science and technological jobs are the opposite. In fact, many science and tech businesses are finding it difficult to fill their open positions with high-skilled workers. Why is there such a low level of competition for these types of jobs?
Currently, only 14 percent of undergraduate students are studying science, technology, engineering or math. Of that small percentage of students, nearly one-third will change their individual course of study over their college careers.
Why Can Technology Make a Greater Difference?
The president has recently credited competition from other countries for the increased need for a strong science and technology industry. China and India, two of the nations that value the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in these fields, are taking charge of the job market. They are taking jobs from the American people, and, in turn, are reaping the benefits of success. With a lack of interest in technological careers, the United States is falling behind in science-related fields that are crucial to our national success and international reputation.
By keeping these industries and jobs in America, our nation can continue to drive the global economy in an upward direction.
What You Can Do

Cover art by Alien (drawing) and Zzorn (coloring)
Well, better late than never. The November issue of The Chopping Block finally comes to fruition. In this issue we have MASON! MASON! MASON! The kick off for the development of Mason began earlier this month. We have some articles written by Bryce describing various startup type things Mason is doing.
Also, we have a plethora of fictional works this month. One continuing story by Malkin called The Magistrate's Daughter. The two others are short stories by Rykard and Cyanide. I'm sure you'll find them all enjoyable! I did!
We also have some other practical articles. One from Bryce further explaining what the heck Eidetic is. A short white paper from Rykard describing Vestri--his newest project. Also, another white paper from smkl giving treatise on how one might go about AI scripting. Lastly, we have a write-up from Chord detailing what were found to be the requirements for the project's website.
Well, that's about it. I hope you enjoy it. A special thanks to Alien and Zzorn who whipped up this kick ass cover art in THREE DAYS! One thing I'll say. Mithro is a beast for doing this on time every month. This is hard! Anyways, this is Grimicus signing off!

I made some Mason Jar snow globes just like the picture here for about $4 each last year after seeing them in Anthropologie for $58 and deciding I could do it. It was fun, took about 10 minutes to make four or five and they're really cute.
Great guide! I love handmade decorations.
love the mason jar globe and the driftwood tree. I wonder if the driftwood tree could be recreated with cork..
I'm totally making those Mason jar trees. Even the etsy guy's thrifty $18 + $7 shipping seems steep compared to $4 or $5 of fun time spent in front of "A Christmas Story" making decorations.
Love the vintage brooch wreath! Seems to me that'd be fairly easy to make on the cheap by collecting silver, gold and white pieces from consignment shops, your own jewelry box, etc., and wiring them into a pre-existing wire wreath mold.
