Oval Space Music x 50WEAPONS Finale
- Oval Space & The Pickle Factory
- Saturday 12th Dec 2015
- 22:00 - 08:00
- Facebook Event
Oval Space Music x 50WEAPONS Finale
£30 Tickets available on the door
£10 After 4am
All good things must end. 50WEAPONS never made a secret of their intent - to close after 50 releases - but it still shocked the electronic community to learn that Modeselektor's prolific label would be shutting up shop at the end of 2015.
On 12th December, Oval Space and The Pickle Factory host a double venue event to mark the passing of 50WEAPONS. As the final Oval Space Music event of the year, it's a fitting end to a successful year of parties in Bethnal Green, and the perfect way to celebrate the indelible mark 50WEAPONS has left on the dance music landscape. Oval Space Music's official farewell to the label features a host of 50WEAPONS' most enduring acts, and a special extended performance from Modeselektor, the genre-skipping duo who started it all.
In 2005, Sebastian and Gernot conceived 50WEAPONS as a simple means to release their friends' music. Ten years and nearly 50 releases later, Modeselektor have become bona fide global sensations, and their label, one of the most influential in the electronic music scene. They will be joined by René Pawlowitz, better known by his revered dance music monikers, Shed and Head High, both of which have been responsible for a series of bone-shaking, beautifully textured house and techno records over the past decade.
Fellow Berliners Fjaak are also locked in to pay their respects. The three-piece live act specialise in the kind of techno / bass crossovers that 50WEAPONS has become famous for. Benjamin Damage, who will also perform live on December 12th, perhaps best typifies the label's genre-bending aesthetic, with his blend of fuzzy, melancholic electronics.
He's joined by German production veteran Phon.o. Described by Phillip Sherburne as 'a little bit Zomby, a little bit Joy Orbison', his releases stretch from abstract techno to IDM, garage and beyond. French electronic auteur Bambounou and UK bass innovator Addison Groove round out the lineup. Both producers deal in the sort of intense, wildly eclectic techno and bass which has become synonymous with 50WEAPONS' musical palette.
With a secret special guest joining the 50WEAPONS crew on the night, come to Oval Space and The Pickle Factory on December 12th, to celebrate the life and mourn the passing of a seminal label in dance music history.

Saint Paul, Minnesota (PressExposure) December 02, 2009 -- Compete SEO has created a new link building service option designed just for new sites.
From small blogs to small business sites to big brands looking to go viral, new sites need help just getting to the search engines -- let alone getting a good ranking.
New sites can get the boost they need with a the Compete SEO search engine indexing package. The indexing service puts strategic links around the internet which Google, Bing, Ask, Yahoo, MSN and all the smaller search engines will see these links and find the site's content.
No matter how good a site is, before it's indexed, it is basically sitting in Internet limbo, it could have the best, most interesting content around, but it will be invisible to search engine traffic. The Compete SEO service comes with a guarantee that promises the site will be visible on the search engines in 10 days or the service is free.
The search engine indexing service is only one of more than 50 services available in the Compete SEO a la carte link building service store.
Hobby sites and big sites alike can quash the competition in the search rankings with hundreds of social bookmarking links and link directory submit packages. And companies in between can pick and choose the services they want.
These link building services were designed to help sites get a better ranking in Google, Bing, Ask etc. Every link Compete SEO provides gives credibility in the eyes of the search crawlers.
In the case of the social bookmarking service, there is the potential for thousands or millions of real viewers. Compete SEO -- unlike many disreputable SEO companies -- takes care to make its link building services look natural to the search engines. A big blast of links looks unnatural to Google and Internet readers, and going too fast can actually hurt Google rankings or get a site booted from the search engines all together.
Compete SEO also offers well researched article marketing, and professional original content creation.
Based in St. Paul, Compete SEO works with local, national and international clients who don't have the time or expertise to carry out their own link building campaign.

MADISON Mary Fleming, a member of the Children's Room staff at the Madison Public Library, has been processing many new books for summer reading.
Fleming has been with the Madison library for more than 30 years and has seen many summer reading programs for the children of Madison. This summer's "Around t he World" theme is in the planning process; by the end of June, complete calendars and flyers about the Summer Reading Club will be ready for Madison children.
Children's library supervisor Bonnie McDonald is asking for help from local residents to make the summer program a success. "We'll try to share the cultures of many of our residents with our children this summer. We're asking anyone who speaks another language, or comes from a foreign background, to share some of their heritage with us," McDonald said. "If they are willing to exhibit items in our display case, teach a simple craft, tell a special story in both English and a foreign language, or help us in any way, we would be most appreciative. We would love to have representation from as many different countries as possible."
Anyone willing to volunteer for one activity may call the library at 377-0722 and ask for McDonald in the Children's Room.

And He's Back!

am so happy he's home. I wonder if he get shut up in a garage and the people were away for the weekend and he didn't get out till this morning and he's sorry and he'll never do it again.
Just this morning Mr Bo pointed out the week-end thing and had that idea. Clever he is, our Mr. Bo.
Anyway, I'm glad he's home and I can stop checking your blog every time I have a second

I dunno. The last I'd seen him was Tuesday night. That's one long weekend!
I think we're going to start blocking the cat door at night -- I can't take the stress of a lost kitten.
And now I understand why we stopped having indoor/outdoor cats all those years ago. And here I thought I just had a Mean Old Mother.

Glad the boy-o is back! Puck has been extra vigilant about feral cats on your behalf - he tells me the early-morning barking we were awakened by the other day could be roughly (ruffly?) translated as: Hey! You! Is your person looking for you? Do you need directions? I think you might live somewhere that is not here. Is that it? Do you need directions? Hey! There was no need for that language, buster!
Of course, he also gently pointed out that no one had asked him for a translation. Pehaps, he postulates, we would have been a little less yell-ish if we had simply asked.
A stickler for diplomacy, that one.

I'm an east-coast gal traveling out to the west coast this weekend to visit one of my best friends from high school. It's a broad question, but what are some good restaurants in San Francisco??
Here are my preferences --
Food: Seafood, American Grill, or Mexican.....
Scene: Thinking probably a casual scene with outdoor seating perhaps? If not that, it's more important that the scene be vibrant/social enough for two gals who have lots of catching up to do! Just nothing too tourist-ish (in other words, no Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., thanks). But off that, looking for something authentically San Francisco without being too trendy (i.e., I'm going to wear flip flops all weekend long).
Price: mid-range. Entrees $20-30 or so
Any help is much appreciated!

All you need is a camera or camera phone, an interest in riddles and an eye for uncovering the hidden alphabet in Syracuse.
SeekSyracuse invites neighbors to find and photograph the letters that spell "Syracuse" found on historic buildings in downtown Syracuse. The letters must come from the architecture itself: a window frame that forms the letter "E" or the connection between a sign and a building forms a "Y." And, the letters must be "found" on a
The catch is that the letters much be found on a particular set of buildings. To identify which buildings, you have to solve the simple riddles below that will lead to the selected buildings!
To participate, solve the riddles to identify the historic buildings. All the buildings are located in downtown Syracuse and are within walking distance of each other. Once you have solved the riddles, visit the buildings with your camera/camera phone and start the search for the individual "letters" that make up the word Syracuse.
Submit your images to email@example.com. Submissions are due by 5 p.m. Wednesday July 28, 2010.
Questions? Contact Kate Auwaerter, Syracuse Public Arts Coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also visit the City web site for more information and tips at syracuse.ny.us and follow the links to SeekSyracuse.
All accepted submissions will be featured in an interactive display in City Hall Commons Atrium on ArtsWeek Saturday, July 31 during the day and will also be featured on www.syracuse.com. All submissions will be judged based on their composition and creativity. The best of the individual letters, as well as the best complete "Syracuse," will be featured as banners on the City's website. The winners will receive large format posters of their winning letter(s) to be presented at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 31 in City Hall Commons.
SeekSyracuse Riddles
Solve these riddles to identify the buildings that are part of SeekSyracuse:
Founded in 1863,
it's had two homes on Montgomery.
It's not that big a mystery.
It's just the best time in history.
It once was a mill where Jacob ground flour
and several canal boats would pass by the hour.
In a room on the first floor that's totally "green"
comes a broadcast on Fridays that's heard but not seen.
It was a church that harbored slaves,
who carved their faces in its caves.
The carvings are at OHA
and it's a restaurant today.
Known as St. Mary's until 1904.
To enlarge it they tore down the bathhouse next door.
Architect Russell's Romanesque/Gothic pen
conceived this Cathedral in 1910.
Columbus Circle is its 4th home,
but this is its second House with a dome.
Designed by the firm of King & King,
it's where the bells of justice ring.
A stainless steel sculpture, "The Spirit of Power"
is perched at the base of its Art-Deco tower.
With wings extended as though poised for flight,
it's also known as "The Spirit of Light".
Designed by the architect, Thomas Lamb,
its stage has been home to many a "ham."
One of our city's historic buildings,
it's said that a ghost roams its Persian gildings.
It's housed presidents, movie stars, rock stars, and more.
It's seen weddings and dinners and meetings galore.
It has eighty six years of historical lore.
It waits now to see just what future's in store.
Dedicated to the service of our country at war,
home to the Crunch and concerts and more.
The sites of great battles are carved in its walls,
but music and cheering echo through its halls.
The Beadle Tract was chosen in 1909
because the rail-way and the canal-way both converged on that line.
The Post Office building had an impressive design
and for eighty two years it's helped Clinton Square shine.
It once quartered soldiers of the northern alliance.
It now houses wonders of modern day science.
The Syracuse Symphony plays on its green
and magical movies play on its screen.
The City is run from within its walls
and Common Councilors walk its halls.
With an exterior of limestone block,
its tower has neither a bell nor a clock.

A world of fun, sun, outdoor adventure and natural beauty await you. What else could a runner want in a winter weekend getaway?
It is sure to be an unforgettable race experience in a magical paradise. The Pensacola Double Bridge 15K Run spans two bridges, across Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound. This spectacularly scenic tour includes downtown Pensacola, the historic district, picturesque Bayfront Parkway and a run through Gulf Breeze and onto Pensacola Beach—and of course, the famous bridges.
The 5K beckons both runners and walkers to enjoy the sights from Gulf Breeze to beautiful Pensacola Beach on Santa Rosa Island and the Gulf Islands Seashore. Runners will delight in the gentle breezes and the sight of crystal clear waves from an emerald sea.
With so much to do and see in Pensacola Bay area, your running adventure will extend beyond the race and will be filled with endless possibilities for the whole family to enjoy. This is a magical place where the beaches stretch sparkling and white; brimming with natural beauty. Open the door to a world alive with a 450 year old history, the National Aviation Museum, plenty of outdoor adventure, restaurants and entertainment. Be sure to explore the downtown area filled with arts, culture and an exciting nightlife. The area also boasts a stellar lineup of accommodations to meet any budget and lifestyle.
This unique charm of the region owes itself to the nearby Gulf Islands National Seashore, an unspoiled paradise that bookends Pensacola Beach to the east and west. Whatever your tastes, Pensacola Beach and Santa Rosa Island have plenty to offer.
View from the Bridges
The Double Bridge Run offers more than double running enjoyment given that both the 15K and the 5K courses show off the stunning landscape that Pensacola Bay is famous for. More than half of the 15K (9.3 miles) offers fantastic water views from Pensacola across Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound to the shimmering white sands of Pensacola Beach. The 5K runs from Gulf Breeze to the co-located finish at Pensacola Beach on the Gulf of Mexico.
The Double Bridge Run 15K starts on south Polofax Street in front of the new De Luna Park in downtown Pensacola at 7:00 a.m. It is a USATF-certified 9.3 mile course that begins in the historic district, runs north on Palofax Street, east on Garden Street, south on Alcaniz Street for a tour of downtown, then east on the beautiful Bayfront Parkway and across the Pensacola Bay Bridge to Gulf Breeze. From there the course crosses the Bob Sikes Bridge to Pensacola Beach.
The 5K Race and Walk will start at 8:00 a.m. at the Gulf Breeze Schools. It starts with a loop in Gulf Breeze before heading out to the Bob Sikes Bridge and the Gulf Breeze Parkway to Pensacola Beach.
Prize Money and Awards
Monetary awards will be given to the first three overall finishers for men and woman in the 15K- $1,250 to the first male and female finisher, second is $500 and third place is $250. In addition to the overall top three, there will be awards for the top three masters, grand masters, and senior grandmasters. Prizes for age divisions go three deep in both the 15K as well as the 5K. Awards in the 5K walkers division go five deep to men and women in two age divisions: 0-39 and 40+.
It is no surprise that the Pensacola Double Bridge Run, with its great location, terrific organization and attention to detail by the host organization, the Pensacola Sports Association, draws some of the best runners around. Last year's male winner was James Carney with a time of 44:46. Janet Cherobon had a winning time of 51:05. Previous year's winners included two-time USA Olympian, Amy Rudolph.

But I'll vow: not the war.
Of hills and writing
But I'll vow: not the war.
By/por Whiskas at/às 12:46 0 comments/comentários
Running to stand still
I did my first race in the entry-level "debutantes" class in February 2002. I finished fifth and stuck around, waiting for the awards ceremony, which was to take place after the main Elite race. A certain lad from an orange-clad team made a daring attack and won solo - Gean Oliveira was his name, and he was quickly my new hero.
In January 2003, after moving my way up in the ranks over the course of the previous year, I got an invitation to join the Sapiranga Cycling Association's cycling team - and would get to wear that same orange jersey. Being located in a small city maybe an hour away from Porto Alegre, the team invited me to spend the weekend there for us to ride together and get to know each other better. At the last moment there was a change of plans and my host could no longer offer me the spot on the couch, so I ended up on Gean's room, sleeping on a guest mattress on the floor. I remember telling him just how surreal this all was - here I was, one year later, having dinner and sleeping at the house of a former medallist at the Brazilian Championships.
I raced for the Sapiranga-based clockwork orange "Last Sprint Team" throughout my days in Brazil. I progressed within the team, eventually sharing the team's leadership role with Gean before moving to Germany almost ten years ago.
- - -
March this year, after my best off-season preparation to date, I fell ill with an infection around the saddle area on the second day of our spring training camp. The plum-sized lump was not testicular cancer, but it was still scary enough having flesh-eating bacteria suddenly growing out of nowhere; the associated fever and risk of further spread meant it should be attended to with no delay. The surgeons' words informing me of the risks involved still echo to this day, but it was a matter of risking it with a surgery, or facing certainty in no time - and so after five minutes' time to call my parents and my sister and sign disclaimers, I was put to sleep and wheeled off to the surgery room.
All went extremely well: the exams the days following indicated all matter had been removed, my body was responding well to the antibiotics, and there was no damage to any of the organs in the surrounding area, so within a week I was allowed to go home. It would be another couple of weeks until I was allowed to exercise even moderately, and yet another month until I could bear weight on the saddle again. However, after an initial week of leisurely spinning the pedals, just as I attempted ramping up my training back to a normal training schedule, my still weakened immune system threw another curve ball: I fell ill a second time, with a cold giving way to tonsillitis and another round of antibiotics. It wasn't until the end of May that I could finally throw a leg over the bike without ensuing complications.
- - -
The national championships were and are always the highlight of any season. In 2013 I transferred my license to Germany, meaning that, instead of fighting for a podium spot in Brazil, I now had the chance of finishing on the second page of the results list against some of the best names in the time-trialling discipline in, well, the whole world (my German countrymen have won 7 World titles and have a total of 17 medals since the discipline was introduced 23 years ago, twice as many as the second-placed nation). On the start line last Friday, there were no less than 6 Worlds' medallists. Against such firepower, the few amateurs who manage to qualify, by winning state championships or having enough rank list points to warrant a start - and are brave enough to show up - form a small, tightly-knit circle, who keeps in touch during the year racing on different events, but will gather on Nationals' weekend to celebrate - and maybe this is part of what I only recently realised - what the sport is all about.
Away from the spotlight, with the cameras filming the world champion and the other Tour de France contenders and many a photographer on the course not even bothering to shoot the amateurs, we all have little to no chance of ever landing on the podium, and yet we train with utmost dedication for an entire year to meet on that day and have a go at the best race possible.
- - -
In years past, I prepared meticulously, with training camps at altitude, special diets and workouts; and I was always pleased with landing somewhere in the middle of the results table. Obviously, this year my expectations had to be reassessed. The initial registration listed 49 names, on race day, only 24 turned up, indeed the smallest field of the last years. As we chatted on the warm-up area, one fellow competitor remarked that, even with only those few, simply making it into the top 20 would already be a remarkable act, and we all nodded in agreement. I had been training properly for barely a month, and if in a more typical setting of 50 or 60 starters a top 30 would well be in reach, here I knew better. Still, I had decided to take part: as a celebration for being healthy, to honour the fact that I had qualified, to meet my friends, to prove a point.
Chemnitz was bustling with a few thousand spectators gathering on the main square that sunny Friday afternoon. One by one, after a final equipment inspection, we lined up the starting ramp, awaiting the final countdown ahead of an hour in hell. I had driven the course in the support car as one of my teammates in the Under-23 category did his run a few hours earlier and had an idea of what to expect, but clearly the crowds had more than doubled as the contenders for the main race were about the start. I had set a conservative target power output given what I had managed on the last few training sessions, and knew from experience not to let the loud roar trick me into overdrive already in the first few minutes, but as I left the city behind and entered the main stretch of road, my legs still felt like they could give a bit more. Nothing to lose, so why not? Every couple of miles, through every small village or intersection, small groups of spectators would be yelling and honking and throwing a small road-side party, and I couldn't help but smile - and keep pushing. Fifteen kilometres into the ride, Lars Bartlau, the Bremen state champion, who had started a minute after me, was about to overtake me, and yet that fazed me not the smallest bit. Ten kilometres later, as we reached the turnaround point atop a small plateau, I had not only drawn even but even managed to again gain a few hundred meters. I struggled on the technical descent, the side wind likely affecting me more than heavier-built riders and was overtaken again, but once more, I just soaked it all in and made my way down at my pace. I would still be overtaken by a further rider on my run-in back to town, and yet I would still be radiant every time I checked my numbers and saw 3, 5, 10 Watts above my intended mark. Entering Chemnitz and seeing the marks for the last 3000 meters, I was completely empty, but somehow the crowds managed to push one to find that final ounce of glycogen to get to the finish.
"Man. The fastest time trial of my life, at (a race in Uruguay), I had a 29 average. That was over 15 kilometres and it was completely flat. I just heard of what you did over three times the distance with all those hills. Twenty-f*cking-eight. With one month of training on your legs. Seriously, f*ck you. That was the most awesome ride and time. First or second-last doesn't matter. Hats off for your guts to go and face these guys. If you were still racing here, you'd be on the podium today. Don't forget that."
Repeating what I wrote almost five years ago,

He had figured all the answers.
The questions changed.
He figured them anew. Did not even take that long.
Surprise! New questions. Trickier ones.
As long as you have a mechanism for finding answers, it doesn't matter.
The mechanism failed.
So what. If you do it with love, you will never lose.
He did, and he lost.
Nothing makes sense, I'll buy new carbon wheels and ride my balls off.
Two surgical interventions later, they almost did.

Ultra Violence
It was June and I was busy with another series of hill repeats up Schäftlarn, coasting down to the river for recovery in between the interval work. As so oft happens, the right mirror came within a few centimeters of hitting my left arm. Had I veered left instead of right to avoid a pothole, just two seconds before, it would likely have caught me, sending me flying with potentially devastating consequences. I graphically flipped the driver off - who in return braked hard, screeching his vehicle to a halt just a few meters ahead of me. He stepped off, a man in his 50's, and facing me, demanded an apology. How dare I offend this honest man who is just trying to get to work?
"Sir", I retorted, "you could have literally killed me. Signalizing my frustration in such circumstances is the least I can do". He wouldn't have it. "I may have committed a minor traffic infraction by driving too close, but you, you have offended me. I can't let this pass". If I didn't have my heart on my throat from the past intervals and the incident, perhaps I could have articulated a better response. Or perhaps I should have had the police number on speed dial: fearing a retort - after all he did have one-and-a-half tons of metal at his disposal to just run me over, whereas all I had was my lycra armour and seven kilograms of fine carbon fiber - I gave him the apology he wanted and let it go.
- - -
When coming home from rides to the Southeast, I usually ride the last block on the "wrong" side of the sidewalk, in order to avoid two left conversions across traffic. Given the pedestrian traffic due to the nearby subway station, "riding" here usually means just rolling along at a very leisurely pace. Yes, there is a cycling path right next to the sidewalk, but with it being on the same grade as the road, and in between the bus and the car lanes, the conditions are not exactly inviting for riding against the flow there.
Someone had again steered their car dangerously close to our group, on the way back another had converted left in an intersection right in front of me, ignoring my right of way. I had even bothered to get the license plate of the last one, but thought I shouldn't ruin this otherwise pleasant day filing a complaint. I rode on, coming out of Karwendel Str. and taking the southern sidewalk on Albert-Roßhaupter-Str. to convert left again less than 200m later. Another cyclist rode a few meters ahead, likely heading to the bicycle stands under the train tracks in front of Harras station, with me following slowly as we slalomed between pedestrians and bus stop shelters.
And then I was hit. It wasn't a hard or particularly painful hit, but nevertheless a solid strike just as I rode past a family, mother, kid, and father. The later, deciding he did not concur with my sidewalk riding, opted to demonstrate his disagreement by punching me on the hips.
I braked and turned around. Caught up with the trio and wished my aggressor a nice day. And added, if tolerating my behaviour was out of question, then still there should be better ways of expressing dissatisfaction with my actions than resorting to gratuitous violence.
In particular, when immediately next to his daughter.
On a sunny Saturday morning.

Those had been some hard weeks at work: a trade fair, a colleague on holidays, a new release going out among other pressing deadlines, and those nagging tickets coming in from the support desk. Then the ordeals in cycling, the meetings with team management and sponsors, and training camp preparations, all while riding like a man possessed. Not to mention, well, all that actually matters.
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you and one could say the writing was on the wall that something had to give. Or perhaps it was indeed a combined hand of improbable events and my recently reaffirmed vows towards the Gods of Yay had no bearing in the ordeals that ensued. Maybe - likely - a mixture of the two.
Previously I had discussed certain virtuous masochistic tendencies and my appreciation of hardships on the way to not at all megalomaniac goals. But, contrary to previous times where such setbacks were faced with the usual dose of enjoyment (!?), the aftermath of the latest events left me in a desolate and bare state, questioning choices and capabilities that I once had taken as unassailable: a whole new meaning to the idea of a lobster with no shell. Interesting times indeed.
- - -
The phrase, "create something from nothing", was found in many a conversation some time ago, but in the case at hand, there was something, only now it's been burnt down to the ground. And I long to foster it anew, hoping to force back some meaning onto what is otherwise essentially chaos.
To constantly re-create oneself, from decaying states that Entropy (ah, Boltzmann, my friend!) strives to steer towards the Void - perhaps in cycles of varying strength. There's a mythological figure for that.
A bird, no less.

Amplitude Spectrum
Fall in love, rush up a mountain to see the sun rise, lead a start-up as it ventures onto new markets, or command a thriving cycling team on its first year racing the Bundesliga: I've recently rediscovered the thrill of reaching for the highest highs.
But in a sudden turn of events, I found myself grasping for dear life, watching powerless as an infection spread and urgent intervention was required. In those few minutes between hearing the diagnosis, signing the disclaimers for the procedure, and being wheeled off to be sedated, there was a sheer panic unlike any I had ever experienced.
As I convalesced, even while absorbing positive news from my recovering state, questions flooded in: would I ever cycle again? How hard should one fight for what he loves, and when is it wise to let go? Who am I, if I'm stripped of what makes me be?
The non plus ultra experiences set the bar for what is the upper limit ever higher, and push me to try and always reach out further. But events such as the latest, experiencing joy simply from being able to carry out activities otherwise taken for granted, remind me just how important it is to remain aware of the fundamental state which still defines us as human beings: the lowest low.

Live coverage: Utes fall in Pac-12 semis to Oregon
Ute buster Salt Lake City, UTMarch 16, 2013 9:33 p.m.
Crissy, you out there or are you going to be a hit and run guy. You make outrageous predictions and are never heard from again when they do not come true. Join the discussion and MAN UP when you are wrong.
OCoug Ogden, UTMarch 16, 2013 2:16 p.m.
Good end to the season for the Utes, too bad that the ride ended short of a NCAA tournament bid.
Losing Zylstra and Cusick will have minimal negative effect, if anything Zylstra was a detriment to this years team. Replacing him with Collinsworth is a definite upgrade.
Ted H. Midvale, UTMarch 16, 2013 1:22 p.m.
Of course the fact Utah is in the Pac12 makes it more difficult to have a good record. The WCC is a poor league. I readily admit it. But you seem to be bouncing all around in your argument.
YOu are the one who responded to CougfaninTX by asking if he thinks byu will also be .500 due to the fact they lose key players. I'm simply pointing out your suggestion doesn't seem based on reality. BYU and Utah are both losing key players we all agree on that. Therefore if your argumnet was "byu and utah will both do similar to this year, next year" I'd probably agree with you. But you are the one who suggested byu may also be .500 as they are losing players.
I'm simply pointing out they weren't .500 this year, Utah was. RPI does take into account your harder schedule. And BYU is better than your Utes, roughly 150 RPI to 65 or so.
And yes, I do like knowing that since BYU is much better per RPI rankings(takes into account schedule) that this bothers you. Thanks again!
U 90 Corona, CAMarch 16, 2013 10:48 a.m.
Ted H,
Do you think Utah's sub 500 record had anything to do with playing in the PAC 12? Perhaps if the Utes could have played in the weaker WCC they could have gotten 2 more wins which would put them above .500. Is my reasoning poor, or have you overlooked a PAC 12 schedule vs. a WCC schedule?
I'm happy when the Utes are improving. I'm also happy to see the Cougars do well. I'm sorry that your happiness is based in seeing Utah lose. What a sad life for you.
GoRed WEST VALLEY CITY, UTMarch 16, 2013 10:16 a.m.
Why do you care about the Utes? You should be more concerned about how your team down south did in the West Coast tournament.
By the way, how did they do?
SoonerUte Salt Lake City, UTMarch 16, 2013 10:06 a.m.
"Losing Dubois, Dean, Washburn and Martin will have an impact."
I expect red shirt junior Glen Dean will be back for his senior season of eligibility.
Ted H. Midvale, UTMarch 16, 2013 10:04 a.m.
Byu didn't go sub .500 this year. Utah did. Cougfan is guessing Utah will see much of the same due to the losses in personnel. Byu has the same struggle to replace key parts, but they didn't play sub .500 this year, so why should cougfan think byu will be as bad as Utah next year when we weren't as bad as you this year? Poor reasoning there. I am happy Utah lost. I am happy byu was better this year again. I am happy that it makes you sad that byu is better. Thanks!
U 90 Corona, CAMarch 16, 2013 9:38 a.m.
I don't see Ute fans saying "Utah is back". I see comments like "moving in the right direction" or "good to build on for next year".
You call Utah's wins "over achieving". A win is a win and teams earn their wins. Didn't BYU earn their win over Utah by 3 pts on Dec 8? Likewise Utah earned wins over 39 Colorado, 44 BSU, 48 Oregon, 54 Cal and 85 ASU. And BYU earned their best RPI win against #88 Montana.
With regard to next year, sure Utah is losing 28 pts and 12 rebs from Wash, Martin & Dubois (Dean is a JR.). Likewise, BYU is losing 29 pts and 14 rebs from Davies, Zylstra and Cusik. Are you prognosticating a sub 500 season for BYU as well? Utah will struggle to replace Wash with Olson or Bacynski, but should be okay at the #2 spot with incoming Delon Wright and ESPN Top 100 recruit Aaron Dotson who was hurt for most of this season. Tell me, should we expect the starting 5 of Hawes, Austin, Carlino, Sharp and ??? to tear it up next year?
CougFaninTX Frisco, TXMarch 16, 2013 7:15 a.m.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see it.
Utes over achieved by three or four games - Cal, Oregon, Colorado and Boise State. With a patsy non-conference schedule 12 wins was a given. Congrats on winning those four games, but I don't see this a sign that the Utes are back.
And as for next year, I don't think the Utes will reach .500 and will likely have a worse record than this year. Losing Dubois, Dean, Washburn and Martin will have an impact. Who will give you 33 points, and 15 rebounds?
There is some talent coming in, but Loveridge and Taylor are really the only experience U will have.
Now if you want to argue that next year is really the rebuilding year and 2014-15 the Utes will be better, I can buy that. 2015 should be the first year U will be above .500 since 2008-2009.
Nonetheless, congrats on beating Oregon in the regular seaon and Cal in the tourney. U should feel very proud of your team for those thrilling wins!
U 90 Corona, CAMarch 16, 2013 12:56 a.m.
The Utes lose... enter the trolls. Go ahead pile on, your team was a real world beater in the WCC tournament.
Given the level of talent on this Utah squad, I'm satisfied with the amount of progress they made toward the end of the season. I'm not a Chris B fan, but he is right about one thing, Utah had the best 6 wins in the state of Utah.... however they also had some of the worse losses. The bad losses came at the beginning of the season while many of the quality wins came at the end, so we have a program moving in the right direction.

How is this possible? Chris marked it down.
Fashion Police Olympus Cove, UtahMarch 15, 2013 11:56 p.m.
Someone should probably check on chrissy and make sure she's alright.
Tough loss for the Utes, but at least they showed a little fight in the 2nd half.
TheSportsAuthority Arlington, VAMarch 15, 2013 11:55 p.m.
Wow, a 29-point swing in less than a week. This is why comparing teams based on a single head-to-head matchup is so pointless.
Congrats to the Utes on a great little mini-run to end the season. Unlike the last several years, at least U have something positive to build on for next year.
SoonerUte Salt Lake City, UTMarch 15, 2013 11:52 p.m.
Tough night, but what a fun run in the tournament! Great exposure for the program, hopefully catching the eye of some class recruits like Loveridge who see this as a team of opportunity. The freshmen walk away with experience and confidence for next year, and inspiration to work hard during off season training. Thanks again, gentlemen! You were the talk of the town and across the nation. Looking forward to next year!
BlueCoug Orem, UTMarch 15, 2013 11:50 p.m.
Nice try Utah, but three games in three nights was just too much too handle.
Utah's big three of DuBois, Washburn and Loveridge were obviously gassed - only 6 for 31 shooting and 20 points combined.
At least we're seeing signs of life in Utah's basketball program for the first time in years.
UoU 1991 Park City, UTMarch 15, 2013 11:45 p.m.
It was a fun ride while it lasted!
Thanks Utes for a memorable finish to the season.
There may be light at the end of the tunnel after all.
toosmartforyou Farmington, UTMarch 15, 2013 11:42 p.m.
After scoring a whopping 15 points in the first half and your opponent scoring 29, you really think the team has earned "respect?" If the score were 25 - 29, then you'd deserve respect because Utah could overcome that, but really....15 points in a half? That's less than one a minute. That's not even a good scrimmage.
Utes22 SPRINGVILLE, UTMarch 15, 2013 11:40 p.m.
Tough game tonight for the Utes. They were looking pretty tired, especially in the first half. With how many shots were coming off the front of the rim it was apparent that fatigue was a bit of a factor. Credit to the Ducks though for coming out and taking it to them, good luck tomorrow night vs UCLA. The progress of the Utes over the past few weeks is very encouraging for the future. Thanks for your heart and effort this year Utes.
toosmartforyou Farmington, UTMarch 15, 2013 11:38 p.m.
@ phantom
With just under a minute left the Utes are down by 19 points. Is it ok for the announcers to now project a winner?
The Utes have come a long way this year. Unfortunately they are still under .500 for the season. A few tournament upsets are nice because of the timing and I guess that's about the extent of their season. But I admit, they are improving.
Ken must be another Chris B. except he didn't say "mark it down" when predicting a win. Maybe he can watch March Madness from the comfort of his home, like the rest of us will be doing. He should be used to it by now after two football seasons under his belt.
D4inSLC SALT LAKE CITY, UTMarch 15, 2013 11:32 p.m.
Still proud of this team and the growth. Future looks bright!
I Bleed Blue Las Vegas, NVMarch 15, 2013 11:31 p.m.
Toot toot. The welcome back to reality trained just pulled in.
phantomblade Salt Lake City, UtahMarch 15, 2013 10:51 p.m.
Still fifteen minutes left in the game and the announcers are already discussing the Oregon/UCLA matchup tomorrow night.
No respect for the Utes.
Ken Sandy, UTMarch 15, 2013 9:48 p.m.
My guess is an 8 or 9 seed if we win. What city would we play in does anyone know the likely place?

Originally posted on The Pensblog | Last updated 4/21/13
pic from @RealDanaHeinze The road to the Stanley Cup goes through Fifth Avenue. Following a tumultuous week, The Pens and Bruins stood together with the citizens of Boston and 'Merica before and after the game. But in between, the Pens found the teabags the colonists once threw into the Boston Harbor and inserted them into the fans' mouths. It was great. Jarome Iginla faced the ire of the Bruins fans the entire game. He responded to the boos by scoring a huge goal midway through the third then showing his support for the city of Boston in the post-game. The Pens have completed a season sweep of the Bruins, and they've also completed a season sweep of the 2, 3, and 4 seeds currently in the East. And then there's the Pens' record vs. the 8 teams jockeying for position for the other 7 spots in the Eastern playoffs: 23-4. The Pens have clinched the top seed, so this upcoming week is all about getting healthy and finalizing plans and lineups for the first round of the playoffs. It will be fun watching the race for the eight seed in the East. Recap: FIRST PERIOD Emotional scene before the face-off, and then the puck dropped. On the radio side, you could just hear in Mike Lange's voice that he was jammed up. He's all about his routine, but the events surrounding this game threw a couple wrenches into the plan. The Bruins didn't hand out lineup sheets before the game, so Lange was getting some players wrong. He was jacked. Bruins came out with America on their back and were running the Pens out of the building. Only problem was they couldn't put home any pucks. Tomas Vokoun turned away an early assault from the Bruins and kept the Pens in it. The Pens weren't wilting, though. Recent additions Brenden Morrow and Douglas Murrary were brought in for games like this. The Pens didn't have any chances until Beau Bennett had the first quality scoring chance of the game when he bulled to the net and made a nice last-second move, but Rask said no. It was only one little move, but for some reason it is important to note. Bennett was outstanding in this game. Not every young player in the NHL knows to make a move like that. Eye-opening play. The game was chippy from the start. Tanner Glass and Adam McQuaid went a little beyond chippy and dropped the mitts, and then Glass dropped McQuaid. Hilarious. Things were quiet until Matt Cooke slashed Boychuk's stick out of his hand, so the Bruins jumped on the PP. Brad Marchand jumped in the HOV lane in the Pens' zone and scored. 1-0. Bruins were hooked up with another power play but didn't do anything. The Bruins owned the period, but one thing changed all that. Iginla got hit by Nathan Horton, and Iginla trolled him into a fight. Anti-fight people will tell you fighting is stupid, but this fight changed the momentum of the game. Staged fights are stupid, but something like this had a lasting effect. Iginla has been to unlimited rodeos, and he knew what he was doing. Probably should've shushed the Bruins fans on the way to the box. This picture makes the fight look a lot better than it actually was. Horton somehow managed to get hurt in the scrap. Things turned around almost instantly folliwing the fight, as the Pens got a power play late, but it was negated when Niskanen got called for "interference." Bylsma wasn't the biggest fan of the call. SECOND PERIOD A bunch of back-and-forth early in the second. The Penguins woke up big-time. Tanner Glass and Craig Adams did the dirty work, and Jussi Jokinen cashed in. 1-1. Uncanny resemblance to Gary Oldman. Bergeron went after Jokinen's head at the next face-off. Really cheap play. Bergeron's a fun player to watch, but he tends to do **** like that from time to time. He went after Iginla in this one, also. The Bruins basically bought a house in the Pens' zone for a stretch in the middle of the second. Tomas Vokoun was lights-out. Just amazing goaltending. Pens finally got a whistle, while the Bruins thought they had scored. The ref correctly waived it off, but not before Marchand's nose started ****. That started a stretch of chippiness. Matt Cooke took McQuaid to the woodshed. Chara got mad. Guess you can't hit players clean anymore. What a great hip check. Apparently you're not allowed to hit guys phoning in the end of their shift? Matt Cooke's mere presence in this game got the Bruins off their game. The Pens went on the power play, but Jokinen's cross-check defending Letang's honor washed it out. Murray and Orpik locked down Boston on the penalty kill. Period was almost over when Jagr hooked Adams. THIRD PERIOD The Pens' power play buzzed in the opening half minute, but it didn't put anything home. Brad Marchand, known for drawing penalties, took maybe the dumbest penalty of his career when he assassinated Jokinen from behind. Huge mistake by Marchand because the Pens power play was knocking on the door. They got back out there, and this happened. #iginlastrong 2-1. The shot was perfect, but maybe the best part was the chip-pass Iginla made to Jokinen to set it up. Great screen by Kunitz too: The Bruins went right back to the box five minutes later, and Kris Letang, who struggled at times on the power play, put one home. Letang's return has been ridiculous for the PP unit(s). The Pens weren't getting this kind of goal last season. 3-1. After that, the Bruins and their fans were pretty much wiped. The Pens D wouldn't let Boston see much daylight. The Bruins' best chance to get back in it came when Marchand got a breakaway. Vokoun showed him up with a massive save. Marchand took himself off the ice again with four minutes to play after he and Joe Vitale got into it. We'll take that trade-off all day. All that was missing was a Matt Cooke empty-net goal, but that didn't happen. The Bruins scored some ******** goal late. It was already over. BYE BOSTON MISCELLANEOUS -- Andrew Ference sucks. Hard to believe such a terrible player could still be in the NHL. -- Read this Claude Julien whine-fest. It's too good. -- Jokinen had a 3-point da. -- Almost forgot how whiny Bruins fans are. -- After calling out the Pittsburgh media, Jack Edwards apologized during the second period. Deadspin.

text: Hi all, Got my HTC Desire a day or two ago - and as my first smartphone purchase... I'm v. impressed! I have a few questions that I can't seem to find a definitive answer to (as I see on this forum a lot: it would be great if someone compiled a definitive guide to all HTC Desire/Droid questions!) 1) Album Artwork - how do you add artwork to the many Gb's of music that's now on my phone artwork-less? I primarily use iTunes to build my music library on the PC, the music in the library (non-iTunes store downloads) get their album art from iTunes anyway (i.e. right click -> Get Album Artwork). After using iTunes Sync software to sync iTunes library to my HTC Desire, no artwork (other than Amazon mp3 downloads) is displayed. Maybe iTunes sync isn't the best solution to getting music over in the first place? 2) Media player - anyone recommend a great alternative to the default player? 3) SD card - any advice for which to get? I am struggling to work out which to invest in - I've heard some bad experiences of microSD cards failing etc. which is making me wary - do I go expensive (32Gb) and risk losing so much data if it is a "fail card", or find they are much cheaper within the year? Or do I get a class 6 lower size card (i.e. 8Gb)? Does class matter once the data is on? 4) Mounting SD Card - do you all transfer files from PC to SD card via the USB cable and mounting, or removing the SD card and plugging it in the PC? I presume the former - I only ask because my last phone (Nokia) had it's SD card removed each time to transfer files, though it was accessible from the outside of the phone... So many questions, yes. Anyone with any advice, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Are Brokers' Commission Rates on Home Sales Too High? A Conceptual Analysis
Many people believe that prevailing commission rates for residential real estate brokers are "too high" but do not offer a formal model. This paper presents a general equilibrium model of the housing market in which real estate brokers serve as matching intermediaries. We use this model to construct an illustrative example which is "calibrated" using data representative of a typical housing market.

Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah hailed Tuesday the Iranian nuclear deal with the world powers, given its very important consequences.
In an interview with OTV, His Eminence confirmed that the first winner from this agreement is the people of the region, from the Gulf to the Middle East. "Regional and international forces were pushing for the choice of war with Iran and this is not an easy choice, and it would have led to very dangerous repercussions on the entire region."
"The agreement produced by Iran's dialogue with the P5+1 world powers has consolidated the multi-polar nature of the current world order and from now on, no single nation can make decisions and settle things on its own," Sayyed Nasrallah assured.
In parallel, the Resistance Leader elaborated: "The first result of the agreement was lowering the possibility of war and I cannot say that it eliminated that possibility."

Save Money with Cloud Data Management Options
Any business, whether big or small always has one mission, make more money, save more while keeping customers satisfied and happy. However, the cost of doing business can be high and unbearable especially when it comes to the issue of storage, labor cost and other high overhead costs.
Having document management software or running your business data management on the cloud is however saving thousands for thousands of businesses across the world. The question however is, how is this happening and how can your business benefit from data management on the cloud?
How Data Management of the Cloud is Helping Save Money
No investment on hardware purchase or maintenance
Businesses opting for cloud computing are definitely saving money that would otherwise have been spent on hardware. Instead of spending an upfront capital outlay, businesses are only required to pay an annual subscription and this helps cut the cost of operation by a very big margin. This in addition to the ease of setup and data management makes the business application friendlier and worth considering.
Unlike storing data in data centers, cloud-hosted solution eliminates the cost of networking, electricity, equipment, upgrading and maintenance fees as well as contracts. This simply offers real ROI in business establishments especially the small ones.
Reduced Systems Administration
Cloud computing doesn't require rigorous system administration and you do not have to worry about the serves, backups, downtime or archiving. This simply means that users are able to free much of the time that would have been spent doing that and instead focus on other things that could help develop the business. As a business owner, you do not need to hire IT specialists to handle these tasks since the best cloud applications are designed to perform all these tasks automatically.
Saves cost on energy
Cloud computing does not spend much electricity compared to other storage options. Since it comes with better hardware utilization, power is used more efficiently which in return cuts cost for businesses. The amounts saved when using cloud computing as opposed to personal data center runs into thousands especially when you do the calculations annually. By using personal data center, businesses rarely utilize all their servers and these idle servers end up wasting energy.
Switching to cloud computing will see your business pay less for energy compared to what you are spending currently on personal data center.
Saves on data storage
The growth of a business simply translates into growth in data storage requirements. Every business that opts for on-premise data storage has to contend with the issue of rising expenses while the process is also tedious and mostly disorganized. This is a common problem for many high-growth businesses but can be resolved by turning to document management software where data is simply stored on the cloud thus providing greater convenience.
Businesses are saving thousands of dollars today since the cloud offers a consolidated platform which is easy to upgrade depending on the growing needs. Cloud computing has been helping businesses cut on spending and enhance their disaster recovery plans.
Businesses have been finding it easy to operate without spending money on costly office space since data management on cloud platform allows authorized users to access the necessary information from anywhere and therefore staff members can work conveniently and on different devices.
Cloud computing has been helping businesses to create a considerable return on investment while freeing up personnel and capital to explore on new business ideas. Using the cloud-based document management platform is definitely a transformational investment that every organization or business will find compelling and worth considering.

It started in 2000, with the acquisition of a Vandercook SP15 proof press and two beautiful cabinets of lead type from the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde, MO.
Upon the discovery of an original poem locked in the bed of the press, a black and white photograph and an apron marked S. Lillian Black...a press name was born.
Sister Black (Bike) Press is the mobile printing and publishing studio for Sister Black Press. It is literally a vintage "clamshell" printing press mounted on the back of a cargo bike....which I pedal around to Twin Cities events, doing demos and letterpress printing Poetry Spoke Cards.
I recently hauled the Bike Press to Washington D.C for the Women's March and handed out poetry resistance cards to the marchers and cyclists.
Stay tuned for a complete schedule of events.

Day trip from London - "Bath and Windsor Castle" or York
Hi, we are going to London couple of days and we wanted to do a day trip... there are tours that go to Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath in one day ... but we dont want to go to Stonehenge...so it is possible to do Windsor Castle and Bath by our self taking the train...
Report Abuse
Haven't been to UK in quite a while, but I wouldn't think York is really do-able as a day trip from London, as it's +200 miles. Even by train, that's most of the time travelling. On the other hand, Windsor is less than an hour; Bath is about 100 mi. Doing both in one day could be possible, but tiring. I did find this on another site:
Report Abuse
Agree that York is too far to do in a day. I would opt for either Windsor or Bath, but I think both in the same day would be pushing it as you would only scratch the surface of what there is to see, especially in Bath. Both can be reached by train from London.
Celebrating the Great British Coastline
Report Abuse
I think I'd do Bath, or Windsor castle - I certainly wouldn't try both in a day
Report Abuse
York is only a half hour longer by train than Bath, two hours versus 90 minutes. Don't rule it out based on distance! They are very different places, take a look at what each has to offer.
I would want a full day in Bath so would not want to do both Bath and Windsor in one day, but if you get your skates it's of course " doable" by train or car.
Report Abuse
Assuming OP is arriving at Heathrow
Bath is easily reached from Heathrow by coach. You could arrive at Heathrow, travel to Bath, stay overnight then take the train to London.
Windsor is 20 minutes from Heathrow by taxi - so it makes a good last night stop.
York is 2h30m from London by train and is easily reachable from central London - just ensure you know how you are going to get to Kings Cross for an early train as the Tube may not be running early in the morning.
So assuming around a week for your stay
Day 1 - arrive Heathrow, travel to Bath
Day 2 - Bath am, travel pm to London
Day 3 - London
Day 4 - Day trip to York
Day 5 - London
Day 6 - London am, Windsor pm
Day 7 - taxi to Heathrow
You could consider going directly from Bath to York by train - take a route that takes you via Bristol in order to avoid London. The travel time is about the same as the total travel time of Bath to London and London to York. That would mean your trip would become a loop with no backtracking.
Report Abuse
Sorry to tag on the OP, but I have a similar question. I have researched options from LHR to Bath. I looked at both the coach and Heatrow Express to Paddington Station, and First Great Western train to Bath. I checked the National Express web site and the trip is 4+ hours. By taking the Heathrow Express to Paddington and FGW to Bath Spa the total travel time is apx 2 hours. We arrive LHR on a Sunday,that may be why the National Express options are limited. Am I reading this correctly?

Try National Express to Reading, around 45 min direct to Reading rail station, then train to Bath.

National Express has various options for "Heathrow", but it is probably better to use the timings for Terminals 1 & 3, since they offer a non-stop service to Bath. You can travel free of charge between the different Heathrow terminals, which are some distance apart.
The indirect services from Heathrow to Bath all go via Bristol, and include a long wait there for a connection. The direct services usually take under two and a half hours. The single fare is about £20.

Cathinjoetown and chartley,
Great suggestions and thanks. I will check these out. I find I need a solid plan to overcome my "thickheadedness" from jet lag.

I take it you are arriving at T4 or T5. If you use the T1 / T3 option you'll find direct coaches that take half that time. Travel between terminals is easy
Unfortunately I can't tell you the routings for Heathtrow to Bath as the NX website has been goosed all evening

I'm always surprised when I see York dismissed as 'too far' for a day - and then somewhere else just as far is suggested as an alternative.
Kings Cross to York is actually less than 2 hours if you pick a fast service. We live near York and my husband commutes easily to central London every so often for business meetings - as do numerous other people.
Once you are off the train at York you can be into the city centre within minutes and by foot - it is compact and very walkable. There's so much to see and do, although some people think the Minster alone is worth the trip. And yes, it is an extremely beautiful city.

You are correct. Arrival from the US at T5. I checked the options outlined above and checked the Heathrow web. I get bus 441 from T5 to the CBS and in 2H 45M and L20 later I am in Bath. A good economical easily executed (with a jetlagged brain) solution.

The biggest difficulty of York as a day trip is getting a decent price. It seems that the really cheap tickets (around £10 each way) are increasingly hard to get. There's a larger rump of middle rate tickets so, for example, you book now for travel on Monday and pay £60 in total
But the first train to York leaves at 06:15 reaching there at 08:30, last train back is 22:19 arriving London 00:57. That's over 14 hours in York. About the only thing you couldn't do that someone staying in York can do is see a show (though if you leave about 21:50 you'll be able to catch the last train.

text: Pato no Tucupi ("duck in tucupi sauce") is typical dish from the Amazon region cuisine, specially in Belém do Pará. A duck which has been previously roasted is brought to boil in a sauce of Tucupi and Jambú (Acmella oleracea). Tucupi is a yellow sauce extracted from wild Mandioca, which is peeled, grated and then the juice is squeezed out (traditionally using an basket-like instrument called the Tipiti). After being squeezed through the Tipiti, the juice is left to "rest" so that the starch separates from the liquid Tucupi. Poisonous at this stage due to the presence of cyanide, the Tucupi is boiled for hours – a process which eliminates the poison. The Tucupi can then be used as a sauce in cooking.
