No NBA team has a richer history than the Boston Celtics. The team's legacy is stellar and Boston Celtics tickets in your hand are priceless. Since its inception into the NBA, the Boston Celtics dominated the league with 11 championships in 13 years and 8 championships in a row from 1957 to 1966. In recent years, the team has recaptured their dominance. When you speak names like Bill Russell, John Havlicek, Bob Cousy, Larry Bird, Robert Parrish and Kevin McHale, you understand why this team was so dominant and Boston Celtics tickets were at a premium.
Another name of prominence is Red Auerbach. Red was the legendary team coach. He led the Celtics to an all time 795-397 and 16 total championships.
Tragedy has also hit this team as newly-drafted second-round pick, Len Bias, passed away two-days after being drafted. In addition, Reggie Lewis, died of a heart attack in his prime.
The way to overcome tragedy is to resurge to the top. It took some years, but that is just what the team with the Shamrock logo did. If you purchased Boston Celtics tickets, you had the opportunity to witness this exciting time. Acquiring names like Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garrett, Boston eventually climbed back to the top of the Eastern Conference and is now a tough team to overcome. In 2008, the team won its 17th championship and also won the Eastern Conference title in 2010. The Boston Celtics tickets of today are a ticket to see not only history, but also the present, and a glimpse into the future.
You would expect a team with such a rich history like this to have a history of stadiums. Over the years, purchasing Boston Celtics tickets would grant you personal sight of the infamous parquet floor. The parquet floor was originally installed in the Boston Arena and is a geometric design of wood pieces that are decorative and have a rich finish. No other team in the NBA had a floor like this. Other stadium venues for this team included the infamous Boston Garden (1946-1995), Hartford Civic Center (1975-1995), TD Garden (1995-present). The TD Garden was also called the Fleet Center (1995-2005) and TD Banknorth Garden (2005-2009). Just as the team has rich history, the stadiums they have played in do as well. Boston Celtics tickets at the Boston Garden are probably the most-loved games.
Purchasing Boston Celtics tickets and witnessing a game live is a fan's dream. At any given game, you will see a sea of green and leprechauns galore. The team mascot, Lucky the Leprechaun, represents Irish heritage and the strong Irish-American population in Boston. It is truly a sight to see.
True Boston Celtics fans have been faithful through the glory years and through the valley years as well. Dear to the fans' heart, Boston Celtics tickets are cherished and guarded as a prized possession. If travels ever find someone in Boston during an NBA season, you better believe that purchasing Boston Celtics tickets is at the top of their things to do list.
Boston Celtics 2014 Draft Overview
Round 1, Pick 6, Marcus Smart, PG, Oklahoma State
Round 1, Pick 17, James Young, SF, Kentucky
4-7-14: The season could not end any sooner for the rebuilding Celtics. The Boston roster could only fight for so long. Brad Stevens' Celtics lost to the Toronto Raptors on Friday and Chicago Bulls on Sunday, but only by a combined seven points. They then fought for three quarters at the United Center on Monday, but lost by 14 points in Chicago to finish the home-and-home set. Avery Bradley left Monday's contest with a strained right Achilles' tendon. He missed Wednesday night's game in Washington as the Wizards blew out Boston. The Celtics are currently on a lengthy road losing streak, so they look to stop it soon.
4-1-14: The Celtics had a light week, as they are on pace for one of their worst seasons in franchise history. The Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors were the Celtics' only two opponents this past week. On Friday, the Celtics were at the Barclays Center to face the Nets. Avery Bradley scored a game-high 28 points and Rajon Rondo led all players in the contest with 12 assists, but Boston fell short by the score of 114-98. Then on Wednesday, the Celtics hosted the Toronto Raptors. Jared Sullinger put up a game-high 26 points and Rondo kept up his hot streak of assists, but Toronto won by nine points.
3-24-14: The Celtics had a frustrating week, but it finished on a good note. They dropped games to the Phoenix Suns, New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks, but defeated the LeBron James-less Miami Heat. In each of the three losses, Boston wore its sleeved St. Patrick's Day jerseys. The Celtics shot poorly in those contests, including Friday's performance, which was their worst in more than a decade. On the bright side, Avery Bradley, who missed each of the Celtics' games since the All-Star game, returned on Friday. His game-high 23 points on Wednesday helped the Celtics beat the Heat, 101-96.
3-17-14: The Celtics are dropping like flies. Soon after Gerald Wallace was lost for the season, the Celtics organization announced that Vitor Faverani would require season-ending surgery to repair his torn meniscus. Although the Celtics' roster is depleted due to Avery Bradley's injury and Rajon Rondo not playing in back-to-back sets, the team still went 2-2 this past week. The Celtics defeated the Brooklyn Nets in Paul Pierce's second homecoming and then Rondo's season-high 18 assists helped Boston take down the Detroit Pistons. However, the week did not end so well for the Celtics as they encountered double-digit losses to the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks.
3-10-14: The Celtics had a relatively light schedule this past week. Unfortunately, their opponents were not so easy. Boston hosted the Indiana Pacers on Saturday and the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. Jeff Green put up a game-high 27 points against the Pacers, but the Celtics fell short as Indiana held on to the 102-97 victory. Then, against the Warriors, Kelly Olynyk led all scorers at the TD Garden that evening. However, the Celtics could not defend the paint. Golden State scored 58 points in the key and won, 108-88. There was more unfortunate news for the Celtics this past week: Gerald Wallace had season-ending knee surgery.
3-3-14: The Celtics had a frustrating road trip on the West Coast. After losing to the Suns in Phoenix, Boston traveled to Los Angeles, Sacramento and Utah to complete the four-game stretch. Unfortunately, Brad Stevens' squad fell to the Lakers, Kings and Jazz. For the first time since 1994, the Celtics franchise went five consecutive games allowing triple-digit points while scoring fewer than 100 points in each contest. However, they stopped the five-game losing streak on Wednesday in their first home game since the All-Star break. Behind a season-high 29 points from Jerryd Bayless, the Celtics defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 115-104.
2-28-14: The top 5 most expensive remaining Boston Celtics tickets are: March 19th vs the Miami Heat, March 7th vs the Brooklyn Nets, March 1st vs the Indiana Pacers, March 30th vs the Chicago Bulls, and March 12th vs the New York Knicks. The cheapest remaining game comes March 26th vs the Atlantic Division leading Toronto Raptors.
2-24-14: Although there were no Celtics on the All-Star team for the first time since 2007, they had multiple players in the Rising Stars Challenge. The last time that happened for the men in green was 2005 when Al Jefferson and Tony Allen played on the rookie squad. Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk both started for Team Webber this past weekend and they combined for 22 points. The Celtics then began a four-game road trip after the All-Star break. Unfortunately, they are without Avery Bradley because he did not make the trip due to an ankle injury. The first game back from All-Star weekend was a six-point loss to the Phoenix Suns.
2-18-14: This past week, the Celtics' representatives in the Rising Stars Challenge, sophomore Jared Sullinger and rookie Kelly Olynyk, were showing the TD Garden crowd how strong this team could be in the future. On Friday, Sullinger, who has been Boston's best player this season, battled DeMarcus Cousins and scored a career-high 31 points en route to his fourth consecutive double-double in addition to the Celtics' 99-89 victory over the Sacramento Kings. Sullinger, who was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, also posted double-doubles in Boston wins on Sunday and Monday. Kelly Olynyk got in on the fun as well. On Monday, he registered his first career double-double and then made it two in a row in Wednesday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
2-10-14: After losing 15 games in a month for the first time in franchise history, the Celtics started February on a nice note. On Sunday, Boston continued its tradition of playing on Super Bowl Sunday. They and the Magic participated in the NBA's only game that day, and Celtics fans were happy to have Avery Bradley return to the lineup. After missing five games, he joined Rajon Rondo in the backcourt, and they led the Celtics to the 96-89 victory. Then on Wednesday in Philadelphia, Jeff Green exploded for 36 points as Boston defeated the 76ers by six points. With that victory, the Celtics won back-to-back games for the first time in 2014.
2-3-14: It is quickly looking like lottery season in Boston, as the Avery Bradley-less Celtics went winless this past week. After dropping Friday's contest to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the TD Garden crowd honored Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett for all of their accomplishments in green on Sunday evening. Although the game was an ugly one, the night was unforgettable for all involved. Rajon Rondo, who was glad to see his old friends, scored a season-high 13 points. The Celtics then fell to the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers, but Jared Sullinger capped off a great month by registering his second 20-point, 15-rebound game of his career.
1-27-14: The Celtics had an odd week, as their only victory came without Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley and Jerryd Bayless. The men in green entered their game on Wednesday in Washington as losers of their last 10 road games and on the second night of a back-to-back, but still won because of a Gerald Wallace game-winning lay-up in their first overtime game of the season. The Celtics started rookie Phil Pressey at point guard, and he scored a career-high 20 points. In addition, Jeff Green made some huge shots en route to a season-high 39 points of his own. That Wednesday night miracle for the Celtics helped Brad Stevens save a difficult week as Boston has lost its last nine games with Rondo in the lineup, dating back to last season.
1-20-14: It was a hectic week for the Celtics, as they participated in another three-team trade after their star point guard cryptically announced that he would be returning. Rajon Rondo, a man who always played with the media, tweeted the following on Monday evening: "29,233,380 secs." This code meant that he would be back to play on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers at TD Garden. As Boston was getting excited about Rondo in a Celtics uniform, he actually suited up against the Toronto Raptors after the Celtics acquired Joel Anthony and draft picks in exchange for Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks. Although Rondo did not play on Wednesday, Jared Sullinger's 25 points and 20 rebounds helped the Celtics end their season-worst nine-game losing streak in a 88-83 defeat of the Raptors.
1-3-14: There were 161 different performances of at least 30 points in the NBA before the Celtics gave up one. However, while Boston was the final team to allow a player to score 30 points, it happened to the men in green in consecutive games. They finished their light December schedule by splitting home games against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks. The Celtics withstood a furious Cleveland comeback to win by three points on Saturday. Then on Tuesday, Kelly Olynyk scored a career-high 21 points, but Paul Millsap put up a monster double-double and Boston gave up an 18-point lead to lose by one point. The Celtics then began a 17-game January with a 12-point loss at Chicago.
12-30-13: The Celtics had a frustrating week in terms of results, standings and Rajon Rondo's recovery. On Saturday, the men in green dropped a game to the Washington Wizards after leading by as many as 18 points. After hanging with the Indiana Pacers through the first quarter on Sunday, the Celtics had their largest defeat of the season. While Boston's record of 12-17 puts them in position for a playoff spot in the horrendous Eastern Conference, it is no longer good enough for top billing in the Atlantic Division. In addition, Rondo announced that a January return is unrealistic, so Celtics fans will have to wait a little longer before they get their star point guard back.
12-22-13: Another solid week for the Celtics means more days spent in the upper half of the Eastern Conference playoff race. Boston is enjoying a light December schedule and took advantage of it with victories over the New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves. The Celtics even jumped out to a 21-point lead early in their game with the Detroit Pistons. However, in each of the three contests, the men in green lost second-half leads. They came back against the Knicks and Timberwolves, but failed to on Wednesday. There have been many bright spots for the Celtics this season, including Jared Sullinger, who has scored double-digit points in each of his last six games. .
12-13-13: The Celtics continue to lead the lackluster Atlantic Division even after losing on consecutive nights. Those two contests were very important to the Celtics organization, as they both were "reunion" games. On Tuesday, the men in green ventured to Brooklyn to take on Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, who led the Celtics to their 17th championship banner in 2008. Then on Wednesday, the Celtics hosted Doc Rivers and the Los Angeles Clippers. Both of those nights were filled with emotion, but Celtics fans have been able to celebrate more than just past success this season. After a big home victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday, Boston obliterated the New York Knicks on Sunday. Then, Jordan Crawford, who has filled in admirably for Rajon Rondo, was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
12-6-13: You know that the division is struggling when a team with an 8-12 record is leading it. Well, that is exactly where the Rondo-less Celtics find themselves early in the month of December. They battled through a brutal November, in which they played 18 games in 30 days, including two losses to the league-worst Milwaukee Bucks. However, the Celtics sandwiched their most recent loss to the Bucks with two home victories. The first was a dominant win over the Cleveland Cavaliers with Jeff Green scoring 31 points, the most by a Celtic this season. Then, Boston had six different double-figure scorers on Tuesday en route to getting revenge against the Bucks.
11-28-13: After losing six straight games the Boston Celtics have rebounded as of late, winning two of their last three. The C's won on the road in Atlanta and Charlotte before falling Wednesday night at home against the Memphis Grizzlies. Kelly Olynyk remains sidelined with a sprained ankle and Brandon Bass and Jared Sullinger have been moved into the starting lineup in his absence. With a record of 6-11 on the season, Boston is keeping their games respectable and doing their best until Rajon Rondo can return.
11-22-13: It has been a season of streaks for the new-look Boston Celtics. After starting the season on a 4-game losing streak and then a follow up 4-game winning streak, Boston has now dropped five in a row heading into Friday night's matchup with the Pacers. With up and down play from their key players (Bradley, Green), the C's are currently sitting in 3rd place in the Atlantic Division and one game out of the 8th seed in the East.
11-15-13: The Boston Celtics were supposed to be terrible. They traded away all of their aging stars and their best remaining player, Rajon Rondo, still hasn't returned from a knee injury suffered last season. That hasn't stepped their young roster from competing or even winning in 2013, though. In the past week, the Celtics have gone 3-1 with wins over the mighty Heat and the Orlando Magic (twice). No one expects the Celtics to compete for a playoff spot, but as long as they can compete like they have in week three of the new season, Celtics fans won't be disappointed.
11-8-13: The Boston Celtics are mighty no more, as rookie head coach Brad Stevens has struggled to find the right rotations through five games, were the Celtics have gone just 1-4. That's a surprise to no one, as Rajon Rondo is still out due to knee rehab, and the Celtics traded all of their other star players to the Nets in the off-season. While wins are sure to be hard to come by in 2013, Boston fans can at least hang their hat on some competitive spirit, as the Celtics haven't lost a game by more than 10 points through their first five contests.
10-30-13: Welcome to the first season of the Brad Stevens era. The Celtics organization has waved goodbye to Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett and has officially turned the page as they look to pick up the pieces. This season will be one of development for many of the new players, including Kelly Olynyk and Vitor Faverani who were among the best rookies of the preseason. The organization picked up Jared Sullinger's third-year option, so he and his strong rebounding will be a significant part of this team's future. As seen in the preseason, the Celtics will have to rely upon Jeff Green and a bunch of youngsters, especially until Rajon Rondo returns.
10-18-13: After trading away the faces of their franchise in Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to Brooklyn in the offseason the Celtics find themselves in a rebuilding mode this year. Boston is 1-5 this preseason, their lone victory coming in a 30 point win against the New York Knicks when
The Celtics have two games remaining in the preseason:
10-15-13: The departure of longtime head coach Doc Rivers marks what lies ahead for the Boston Celtics. With 10 draft picks in the first round over the next five years the Celtics are poised to rebuild. With all star point guard Ray John Rondo not expected to play until late December the Celtics rely on Avery Bradley to progress as a point guard. New coach Brad Stevens in his first year will have the responsibility of grooming first round draft pick Kelly Olynk. It will also be interesting to see how the Celtics approach the first season where they do not expect to make the playoffs.
8-23-13: After a tumultuous, injury plagued Celtics season, Boston GM Danny Ainge decided that the window for winning a championship with his current roster had come to a close. Subtlety is typically present when tanking takes place, but Ainge went all in. Out are future Hall of Famer's Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett as well as Doc Rivers. Rajon Rondo becomes the new face of the historic franchise who will be hoping for a big leap this season from Jeff Green and incoming rookie Center Kelly Olynyk.
The Brooklyn Nets, sporting Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett on their side, will visit TD Garden twice this season – Sunday, January 26th and Friday, March 7th. Doc Rivers, who was "traded" to the Los Angeles Clippers during the offseason, will make his first and only return trip to Boston on December 11th. The Celtics home opener will take place on Friday, November 1st against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Key Home Games:
8-15-13: The Celtics have traded Fab Melo plus cash to the Grizzlies for Donte Greene.
2013 Celtics Draft Summary:
On draft night they also pulled off deal with the Brooklyn Nets, sending Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry to Brooklyn, in return for three first-round picks (2014, '16 and '18) along with Kris Joseph, Kris Humphries' expiring contract, Gerald Wallace, MarShon Brooks and Keith Bogans. The trade will not become official until July 12th.
6-12-13: The 2012-2013 Celtics were one of the best teams in recent years that finished near .500. Losing their all-star point guard Rajon Rondo in late January, the team seemed destined for the lottery. However the veteran leadership and Celtic culture carried them into the playoffs where they were once again solid opponents for anyone who faced them. Despite being eliminated in the first round, the Celtics were able to groom a few of their young players who have promising futures, in particular, Jeff Green. After the all-star break, Jeff average 17 points per game and shot 49% from the field. With an aging roster, look for the Celtics to add talent in numbers this offseason.

New Year's Eve has always been a low-key holiday for me. I like to stay home and enjoy yummy snacks, champagne, and watch the ball drop. The best part about living in California is that you can see the ball drop in NYC at 9pm. It's kind of cheating, but it's great to get to go to bed early! (Yes, I'm an old lady!)
I made this amazing beer cheese fondue on Christmas Day and I might have to make it again tonight! It is SO good! I wanted to share the recipe with you just in case you were looking for something special to make tonight or tomorrow during the Rose Bowl.
Can you believe this picture was on Christmas Day? It was 65 degrees and sunny so we decided to have a picnic in the back yard, so fun! I served the fondue with a chilled white wine and a mixed green salad.

Fashionistas have been buzzing for weeks about what first lady Michelle Obama would wear to the Democratic National Convention Tuesday.
Full video: Michelle Obama's speech
She took the stage in a custom pink Tracy Reese dress, complete with a gorgeous feminine flowered pattern. The Detroit designer is known for her pretty prints and darling details and has dressed the first lady previously on the campaign trail and for the 2012 president's dinner.
The designer herself tweeted: "So honored @MichelleObama is wearing @Tracy_Reese for tonight's speech #DNC2012"
Project Runway mentor and fashion design guru Tim Gunn tweeted: "Congratulations to @MichelleObama on a fabulous speech last night, and to @Tracy_Reese for making her appropriately glorious dress!"
Celebrity stylist Carson Kressley tweeted: "I love that @MichelleObama was a dress made in the u-s-a by Tracy Reese at the DNC last night."
In an Inside Edition interview Tuesday afternoon, Obama said she hadn't yet picked her outfit, but that she had plenty to choose from.
"I've got options (but) obviously I didn't bring the whole closet; I've got a few things," she told Debra Norville. "I'm going to put stuff on and see how I feel…that's how I do things."
On Monday, Michelle did a walk-through of the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina, sporting a mint, tan, and white graphic print dress with black and white pumps.
The last time she delivered a DNC speech back in 2008, Mrs. Obama wore a teal sheath by Chicago-based designer Mario Pinto, paired with accessories from Erickson Beamon and Moschino.

Today is Veterans Day, a day designed to celebrate our nation's armed forces, their commitment, and their ultimate sacrifices. Though this day comes only once each year, the special individuals to whom it is dedicated deserve our thanks every day. The last year has been a tumultuous one for the entire world and the men and women of the American military have been engaged in various theaters of operations beyond Iraq and Afghanistan.

WAYLANDER Announce European Tour
February 11, 2013, a year ago
Northern Irish pagan metal outfit WAYLANDER have announced European dates in support of their latest record Kindred Spirits. The tour will take the band to places old and new. Dates include: February 24 - Cerninnos Paganfest - La Machine du Moulin Rouge - Paris, France March 6 - Seachtain Na Gaeilge – Kellys – Galway, Ireland April 17 – Fonobar Club - Warsaw, Poland 18 – Rock Out Club - Zielona Góra, Poland 19 – Blackland - Berlin, Germany 20 – Fenris Club - Klein-Pöchlarn, Austria 21 – Blue Hell Club - Budapest, Hungary
"We hope this year will be a year of firsts for the band and we are off and running in that regard already!" comments the band vocalist ArdChieftain O'Hagan. "We are more than pleased to return to Paris for Cernunnos Paganfest. For an indoor event, it captures the Pagan atmosphere more than any other Festival in terms of decor, entertainment and general vibe. If our reception is as rapturous as last time we will be equally as delighted."
"It's been a decade since we last visited the west of Ireland and we jumped at the chance of playing in Galway as part of the Seactain na Gaeilge (Irish language week) celebrations."
Commenting on the bands turn to new lands ArdChieftain adds: "There is no better feeling than playing new places, making new friends and sampling new cultures, so finally visiting Poland, Austria and Hungary is something we are very excited about, and are equally as pleased to be returning to Berlin, where we get the chance this time to play a full length set. We would have been pleased with just one Polish gig but to have two is a huge bonus. We get to, not only visit Warsaw, but also Zielona Góra and we are really looking forward to experiencing the notoriously crazy Polish Metal audiences. After having several aborted attempts to play in Austria over the years, we finally get the chance with a show in Klein-Pöchlarn. We hope our Austrian fans enjoy our performance. None of us has visited Hungary before, so to be able to play in such a beautiful and historic city as Budapest has got our collective pulse racing. We have heard nothing but praise for the pagan/folk metal scene in Hungary so it will be amazing to experience it for ourselves."
Waylander recently announced that the band are planning on a new release late 2013 to commemorate their 20 year anniversary.
"As many of you may be aware of, 2013 sees Waylander celebrate two decades of existence, an impressive milestone in anyone's book. We plan to have a new release out towards the very end of 2013, which, we hope will please fans both old and new. We will write and record a concept mini album which will deal with the Four Fire Festivals of the Irish Pagan calendar, expanding on the subject matter dealt with in Twin Fires of Beltíne. As well as reworking Twin Fires of Beltíne, slightly, the other three songs will deal with Imbolg, Lughnasadh and Samhain. As a bonus we will include an interview DVD, explaining the history of the band and revealing the truth behind the trials and tribulations of the turbulent lifespan of the beast that has become known as Waylander. We hope also to include some live footage and some behind the scenes Hallionry which will reveal the personalities of the various band members."
The band's latest record Kindred Spirits was released on July 16th in Europe and August 14th in North America 2012 via Listenable Records and has gained worldwide acclaim.

Brittney Griner's Phoenix Mercury debut Monday was seen by 10,200 people at the US Airways Center along with countless others who were watching on ESPN.
It was a big deal. She is a big deal.
Though she is the biggest thing to hit the WNBA, the 6-foot-8 rookie is just another in a long list of sports stars to call the Valley home. Each one of them had a debut -- some better than others -- and we thought it'd be fun to take a look back.
So, presented in no particular order, here are some of the more notable debuts in Arizona sports history.

Money on the markets
A maturing market amid the mayhem
The new IPO index
The recently launched BSE initial public offering (IPO) index gained nearly 2 percent on Monday, as the stock market surged to its 15-month closing high just above the 16,000 mark.
The index was launched on August 24 to track the value of stocks for two years after listing. It currently has 50 stocks and the maximum weighting for a stock is capped at 20 percent.
The base date of the index is May 3, 2004 and the base value was set at 1000 points. The index closed at 1,985 on Monday.
Stocks like Reliance Power, Mundra Port, Motilal Oswal and Gammon India are included in the index.
Disappointing start to IPO season
Oil India Ltd's ads in newspapers and business glossies may help in building a much-needed tempo before its public offering of shares, but if the disappointing listing price of Adani Power and NHPC is any cue to go by, then the days ahead for costly IPOs may not be worry-free.
The energy explorer, which deferred an IPO last year amid the global financial crisis, has lined up a $500-$600 million public offering which will open on September 7 and close on September 10. The price band has been set at 950 to 1,050 rupees a share.

Portugal Approves Open Standards Adoption Proposal
"Portuguese Association of Open Source Software Enterprises, supports this initiative unequivocally." - ESOP Press Release
The Portuguese Association of Open Source Software Enterprises (ESOP) announced today that the Portuguese Parliament has approved the proposal to adopt Open Standards. The announcement says that the proposal, which was presented last week, had wide consensus of all Portuguese political parties.
According to the ESOP, these steps move Portugal closer to adding its name to the growing list of countries already using Open Standards, and adoption will allow for improved interoperability, strengthen market competition, help adjust the price value of solutions, and resolves the protocol and format problems caused by "exclusivity contracts".

Minor:coffee was sometimes lukewarm, and the hot breakfast selection was very unhealthy. Should have more color, and fresh foods; not as much greasy, fat laden foods. Would like to see boiled egg option, grains, & hot oatmeal bar with nuts, berries, etc.Overall, our holiday stay was excellent. Your staff was very professional.

It was pretty decent. Compared to the Crossroads hotel in Irving, it was cheaper and more worth the money.
I didn't like the creepy guy that was the everyday, maybe the owner, always staring. Also they charged my debit card 3 times instead of 2. I'm gonna get my money back.*nice convenient Location *nice rooms *decent breakfast (the same every morning) *

This hotel was clean and up to date. It was conveniently located to the airport. Offered continental breakfast and free parking. Can't beat that.
We needed transportation back from the airport and they said it would take about an hour due to other calls at the time. They were very apologetic though.

No one was reported injured as fire crews responded to an early-afternoon fire Monday in West Towson.
The one-alarm blaze in the 400 block of West Joppa Road, at the corner of Morningside Drive was reported at approximately 1 p.m., and under control by 1:40 p.m. Four engines, including rews from Towson and Texas fire stations and Providence and Lutherville volunteer fire companies, responded.
The three-floor building includes several apartments, and the fire involved an annex on the lower level. County fire crews requested the assistance of the Red Cross for three adults and three children who were displaced, fire department spokeswoman Louise Rogers-Feher said.
As of 1:45 p.m., West Joppa Road was blocked between Bosley Avenue and just past Morningside Drive.
A fire department spokeswoman said it was unclear at this time how the fire began.
The home is a rental property. The owner was not present, but some of the tenants were.
"At first it was like a little bit of smoke, then it was like a little more, a little more, a little more," said Roy Nickols, who was there to pick up his sister and arrived shortly before the fire trucks came to the scene.

Watch out! The holidays are here and they're coming! No - not Santa's reindeers. I'm talking about visiting family members and friends. The days of going to Grandma's house for Christmas dinner and returning the same day are long gone for many families - Grandma is no longer a 5-minute walk away. Now, visiting for the holidays necessitates family members traveling to one another's homes and staying overnight for one or several days.
Extend a Specific Invitation
If you will be on the hosting end this year, there are several things you can do to make the visit pleasurable for you and your guests. One of the most important things to do up front is make it clear how long your guests will be welcome in your home. If you and your guests are best buddies, you might want to extend an open-ended invitation. But if you feel they're best entertained in small doses, make the timeframe for the invitation clear. Say something like "we'd love to have you stay through breakfast Sunday morning, but we'll be leaving for a party (or visit, or hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro - you fill in the blank) right after breakfast, so we regret we'll have to end our visit then." In that way, you're in control of the situation, you know how much extra food you'll need to stock up on, and there won't be any uncomfortable periods where no one knows what's expected and you're too shy to ask when they'll be leaving.
The next thing you'll need to decide is how many meals you'll be preparing, and how many meals you can take out or go out for. There's nothing wrong with not cooking every meal yourself, as long as your guests know you've made some kind of plan for quieting their growling stomachs.

Knoxville — The Marion County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution for a federal aid funding agreement for a project along G-40.
The project is an overlay on Highway G-40 from Highway 14 to one-quarter of a mile west of 100th. The estimated cost is $1.6 million, and through the agreements with the State of Iowa Department of Transportation and the federal funds, $1.1 million of the cost will be covered. The remaining costs will come from the County's Farm to Market Road funds.
County Engineer Tyler Christian said that the project is scheduled to be let in June. The DOT will determine the start date of the project and set a completion date. Christian was unsure of when the project can begin, nor when it is expected to be complete. Marion County will otherwise manage the project.
In other board action, librarians from Bussey, Knoxville and Pella represented all of the libraries in the County in making an annual fund request. Since 2007, Marion County has provided $80,000 to the five libraries within its borders (excluding the Central College library). Each library receives a base amount of $3,000, with the rest distributed based upon usage.
Circulation to rural residents, among the five libraries, was at 93,460 in 2013. Of that, Pella had the most with 58,863 or 63 percent. Knoxville had 25 percent, Pleasantville 8 percent, Melcher-Dallas 2 percent and Bussey 1 percent.
County funding to each library was $38,750 to Pella, $23,800 to Knoxville, $9,500 to Pleasantville, $4,300 to Melcher-Dallas and $3,650 to Bussey. Though the $80,000 appropriated by the County has remained steady, usage of the libraries among rural residents has increased by 23 percent since 2007. City funding to these libraries has also remained flat, according to the librarians, but state funding is slowly increasing.
The supervisors thanked the librarians for their presentation. Budget discussions are ongoing and the board did not provide any indication regarding its plans to continue to provide funding to the libraries, nor what level.

Tonight, the president laid out concrete proposals to grow the economy, strengthen the middle class, and empower all who hope to join it. I am hopeful that Congress will work with the president on priorities important to North Carolinians: raising the minimum wage, keeping college affordable, spurring economic growth by investing in research, education and transportation, and restoring emergency unemployment benefits.
U.S. Rep. David Price
D-Chapel Hill
After five years of failed leadership and empty rhetoric, Americans witnessed more of the same this evening in the presidents State of the Union address. Throughout his remarks, President Obama focused on what could be the underlying theme of his presidency: that we must spend more, expect less and blame others for our failures. Our state is starting to see the rewards of making prudent decisions for growing a healthy economy. Gov. Pat McCrory and the General Assembly have instituted important economic reforms that have led to the successes we are witnessing today. Its time Washington learns the same lesson.
U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers
Its something unique about this speech. I think this is about his legacy and trying to implement some of the vision hes talked about for many years. ... So many American people are being left behind. ... So hes addressing the huge disparity among American workers. Hes got three (years) left in his administration now, and hes got to talk about opportunity and reducing poverty and growing the middle class.
U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield
My top priority this year continues to be creating jobs and growing our economy, and it was important for the president to emphasize efforts that will help out-of-work North Carolinians get back on their feet. One of the best ways to strengthen our economy is ensuring our kids are getting the education they need to prepare them for the future, and I was honored to have Karyn Dickerson, North Carolinas Teacher of the Year, as my guest tonight.
Sen. Kay Hagan
Tonight, President Obama touched on many issues, most notably on income inequality. But its as if the president, five years into his term in office, still doesnt understand our country and what makes it work. The greatest achievement of our modern, free society is not the promise of equal outcomes history is littered with the wrecks of nations that tried but rather equality of opportunity.
Sen. Richard Burr

< Veigar
|Skins & Trivia
Skill usage
- If you don't already use smart cast, consider it for playing Veigar. Veigar's kit is a bursting kit and it is heavily reliant on landing his combo of spells in as short a space a time as possible, choosing smart cast will make it easier to use all spells at once, especially when using additional skills or items such as Ignite or Deathfire Grasp.
- Consistent use of Baleful Strike to last-hit minions is key in amassing ability power.
- Keep track of your mana pool, especially in the early game. If you simply use Baleful Strike only to farm the enemy will soon start to harass you, juggle using Baleful Strike with auto attacks on enemies while still farming minions is key to dominating a lane early game.
- Be firm about getting Crest of the Ancient Golem. Having the extra CDR on Baleful Strike will let you hit every minion with it, and have the mana to sustain farming and harassing.
- Early ranks of Baleful Strike have a higher cooldown, so remember to also use your auto-attack to get last hits.
- An easy way to last hit with Baleful Strike is to let the tower hit melee minions twice then follow it with a Baleful Strike. Let the tower hit caster minions once along with one auto attack and a Baleful Strike.
- Starting from rank 3 Baleful Strike becomes a mana-efficient harassment tool.
- If possible, try to finish off enemy champions with Baleful Strike. It'll give you 2 more AP, in addition to the passive AP gain after killing an enemy champion.
- Event Horizon is one of the strongest stuns in the game - it stuns for 2.5 seconds at max rank and is AoE. With practice, it's easy to stun or cage at least 2 or 3 players.
- While being chased through the jungle Event Horizon can be used to block off a choke point for a successful escape.
- Event Horizon is effective if enemies attempt to tower dive, if you land the stun after the tower has started to target them they will suffer many hits for it often landing you kills early game.
- Consider further leveling of this skill early game if the stun isn't holding enemies long enough for Dark Matter's to land. Since Dark Matter is one of the hardest hitting skills in your kit, it is another key to dominating your lane all so that you can farm using Baleful Strike with less harassment from a passive enemy.
- Practice aiming Event Horizon so that enemies are on the edge and thus immediately stunned, it is vital in trapping champions with escape mechanisms such as Flash.
- Always be more cautious when Event Horizonis not available, as it is one of Veigar's most important abilities, it has a long cooldown, making Veigar an easy target when it's unavailable, especially against enemies with high mobility (like Fizz).
- You can use Dark Matter's impact animation to cordon off your foes; place the spell near the champion but angled towards the direction in which he is most likely to retreat.
- Starting from level 4 of Dark Matter you can use it for killing half or whole minion waves, as it instantly kills minions by then.
- Placing a ward at the enemy wraith camp means you can use Dark Matter and Baleful Strike to clear it whenever it spawns for easy gold and XP that the enemy jungler is denied. Care should be taken as to missing opponents and the location of the jungler when attempting this, however.
- Using your Primordial Burst against enemy champions with high ability power can have devastating effects, due to its scaling off your target's AP as well as yours. As such, prioritize mages with your ult.
- Using Baleful Strike with Primordial Burst can crush an AP carry before their team can react.
- Use Event Horizon to increase success rates in landing Dark Matter. Remember, enemies in the center can move into the stun-ring just to avoid Dark Matter.
- When shoving the lane so you can recall or leave, consider using Event Horizon on the enemy minion line as it approaches, concentrating the minions to an area and then landing Dark Matter.
- Practice using Veigar's nuke combo in the right order, initiating with Event Horizon to stun, followed up by Dark Matter, if you're going for a kill cast Primordial Burst now, and lastly Baleful Strike to pick up the kill for permanent extra AP. Due to Baleful Strike and Primordial Burst being targeted spells, they should always be used after casting Dark Matter since they are sure to always hit.
- An advanced tactic is to use Dark Matter before landing Event Horizon. While it is difficult to master, if you have aimed both spells correctly the enemy won't be able to escape before the Dark Matter can land.
- Another advanced tactic, you can sometimes use Event Horizon to bait an enemy with a skill / ability such as Cleanse, place the stun just near them but without actually stunning them, they may activate their Cleanse simply believing they are removing your stun and then still walk into your stun ring.
Build usage
- Getting mana regen items such as a Faerie Charm or Doran's Ring early game allows Veigar to stay in lane as long as possible to farm Baleful Strike. Even a Mana Potion can help, as the mana regenerated is still increased by Veigar's innate, Equilibrium.
- Tear of the Goddess is one route to take, besides granting mana regen it will also increase Veigar's mana pool. A charged Archangel's Staff carries the potential to grant AP matched only by Rabadon's Deathcap.
- If you've decided to build Archangel's Staff, it is worth considering building Rod of Ages as well, as it provides a substantial increase to your max mana which in turn increases your ability power due to the passive on Archangel's Staff.
- Though with the changes to Veigar's mana consumption, the Archangel's Staff is not as useful early game anymore.
- Optionally, Chalice of Harmony will synergize with Veigar's innate passive, Equilibrium effectively doubling your mana regen. with it Veigar will almost never go out of mana and it can later be upgraded into Athene's Unholy Grail for more cooldown reduction.
- Tear of the Goddess is one route to take, besides granting mana regen it will also increase Veigar's mana pool. A charged Archangel's Staff carries the potential to grant AP matched only by Rabadon's Deathcap.
- The cooldown and active effect of Deathfire Grasp synergizes very well with Veigar's kit. Make sure it is the first to deal damage in your combo as it will increase your damage upon the target for 4 seconds.
- In addition, combined with Rabadon's Deathcap and Void Staff, it gives you the possibility to nuke even tanks or characters with about 150 magic resist from full to zero in less than 2 seconds. Building Deathfire Grasp right after completing the boots is therefore never a bad choice.
- Be sure to cast Dark Matter before Deathfire Grasp as the delay time is long enough to cast and hit Deathfire Grasp before Dark Matter lands, therefore increasing your burst speed while maintaining the maximum damage on Deathfire Grasp. This also helps to ensure Dark Matter will hit before the stun from Event Horizon runs out.
- Rabadon's Deathcap is a prime offensive item on Veigar, since it amplifies the ability power gained from Baleful Strike.
- while Mejai's Soulstealer would usually benefit any AP caster, it isn't necessary on Veigar's since Veigar's gains permanent AP from killing enemy champions anyway. if you are doing well though by all means try it.
- Veigar can often become a target to be shut down by an enemy team, especially early game. Investing in health may sometimes become necessary to survive, whether it's surviving long enough for allied champions to peel enemies off, or to last long enough for spells to come off cooldown.
- One option is buying a Catalyst the Protector, it gives health and mana for a good early game. It also opens him up to upgrading to a Rod of Ages for extra health, mana and ability power.
- The passive on Catalyst the Protector that grants mana regeneration upon leveling up will also be boosted through Veigar's innate passive, Equilibrium.
- One option is buying a Catalyst the Protector, it gives health and mana for a good early game. It also opens him up to upgrading to a Rod of Ages for extra health, mana and ability power.
- Spell vamp items/runes can improve Veigar's survivability against champions, especially the ones with good poking kits. Though it will hinder his damage output.
- If you did equip Spell Vamp, using the long range on Dark Matter is a safer option over Baleful Strike if the enemy is harassing you well, it can be used against Wraith camps.
- Lich Bane can additionally scale very well on Veigar, one consideration has to be taken though as the Lich Bane proc can hit an enemy before Baleful Strike can land unless you prevent Veigar from auto attacking by keeping him moving around, if you keep this in mind though, it will make a fine addition to your damage output while giving you more movespeed. Works very well with Deathfire Grasp.
Recommended builds
|Summoner's Rift
|The Howling Abyss
|The Crystal Scar
|The Twisted Treeline
- Zoning Veigar during the laning phase will deny him from farming ability power from last-hitting minions with his Baleful Strike as he is fairly squishy and weak at early game.
- Although Dark Matter deals massive damage, it has a considerable delay before it lands. Use this to avoid the spell.
- If the wall of Event Horizon misses you during placement, avoid walking into the wall as it will still stun you for the full duration.
- Forcing Veigar to use Event Horizon leaves him vulnerable for its long cooldown afterwards, which can be an opportunity to go on the offensive.
- If you are playing a mage, avoid approaching Veigar until his Primordial Burst has been used as it can spell instant death or bring you close to it.
- As a purely combo based mage, buying a Banshee's Veil is an excellent way to counter him as it essentially negates one of his spells, making him unable to initially unleash a full combo upon you.
- A Quicksilver Sash is a cheaper but no less useful alternative, primarily as you can negate the stun from Event Horizon at will and thus avoid the standard follow-up Dark Matter.
- Majority of Veigar's damage output is magic damage, hence items such as Banshee's Veil will mitigate his damage output by a large margin. Mercury's Treads are a good choices of boots, partly due to the magic resist, and mainly due to the tenacity that reduces the stun duration of Event Horizon.
- If Veigar is giving you a hard time in early game, try rushing a Negatron Cloak and build it into an Abyssal Scepter as he will no longer be able to successfully harass you until he has his Void Staff. Champions like Galio with a naturally high magic resist have the advantage over Veigar.
- Because Primordial Burst is dependent on target's current ability power, champions who mainly benefit from AD items such as Jayce, Talon, Lee Sin, Zed and Xin Zhao are effective counters against Veigar.
- If you are laning against Veigar as a mage, consider build alternatives that invest in relatively low ability power, such as magic penetration and cooldown reduction builds. Your own damage may be reduced, but this could well prove an acceptable trade-off to being less vulnerable to being gibbed by Primordial Burst. If compatible to your playstyle, Lich Bane would be a good pick up as while it does not give the highest raw AP it adds substantially to your burst.

Is Tampa Ready For 2 Oncoming Storms?
By editor
The Republican National Convention is being held in Tampa, Florida, and it's expected to bring the city tens of millions of dollars. But many are wondering if Tampa is ready for two oncoming storms — the whirlwind of people descending on the city, and brewing tropical storm Isaac. Guest host Viviana Hurtado talks with Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn.
