In swimming, just because you're a good swimmer doesn't mean you're a good teammate. Being a good teammate is about much more than just cheering during races. Just like practice, being a good teammate takes hard work, practice, and a daily commitment. Swimming is an unusual sport in that it is technically "individual" – meaning no one can physically help you swim down the pool faster. But when a team comes together throughout the season, motivates each other, pushes each other, and picks each other up when others fall down, each swimmer on that team will actually get better. Being a good teammate means, while you can't physically push someone down the pool to be faster, your presence almost can. (See: Pretty much any epic relay anchor.) Here are 9 ways to be a better teammate:
1. Stand up when you cheer. "Cheering" is actually kind of worthless if the swimmer about to race doesn't see you opposite the blocks or standing poolside. When you step up to race, 99% of swimmers look to see if teammates are there. It's a quick, fleeting glance, but it matters. Don't sit in the bleachers and passively whisper a teammate good luck. Stand, walk to the pool, and let them see you. They'll feed off your energy.
2. Create a culture of encouragement. So simple. Just one sentence, "Keep it up!" is so effective when you're hanging on the gutters barely able to blink. It doesn't even have to be directed at anyone specific. I had a teammate who constantly shouted encouragements while we all rested on the wall. Over time, he created a culture of encouragement. Soon, 3 guys were shouting encouragements. Then 6. Then the whole team.
3. Pick someone up when they're falling down. This part is tricky, and you have to be careful, but if someone (and they usually already know who they are) is skipping practice or slacking off or being disruptive or negative, don't be afraid to say something to that person. That doesn't mean yell or embarrass that person. Take him/her aside as a teammate and be direct, honest, and positive. You're a team, and part of being a team is not letting others fall behind. Everyone needs to be picked up, and as a teammate, that responsibility is yours.
4. Criticize in private, compliment in public. If you ever need to approach a teammate about something negative, do so privately. But compliments should be public. In our team meetings, we did a round table where everyone had to point out something good another teammate did in practice that week. Look, swimmers aren't blind. We see things in practice. When someone is truly bringing it that day, being positive or executing a dryland exercise right, let 'em know. And let everyone else know, too. If you don't compliment your own team, who will?
5. Know when to back away. Everyone's had a bad race. Being a good teammate sometimes means knowing when to allow a teammate some private time if that teammate had a bad race. Let people have space to gather thoughts. I might be in the minority on this, but I believe you shouldn't say "Great race!" if it clearly was a swimmer's bad race. Saying "Great race!" after a bad race might actually make that swimmer feel worse, or angry, or upset, or defensive. Instead, if you want to say something, say, "It's OK, let's get 'em in the next race," or sometimes don't say anything except a hand on the shoulder, or simply allowing that person some temporary space.
6. Embrace when teammates swim fast. We've all been there. So-and-so drops 6 seconds even though so-and-so doesn't train as hard as you. The hardest part of being a good teammate is realizing your teammates might beat you. That's OK – that's part of the sport. You have to control those feelings and focus on yourself. Nothing is more poisonous to a team's chemistry than envy or jealousy. Worry about your own performances and congratulate your teammates when they swim well. After all, the faster they are, the more competitive your practices will be, and the better you'll become.
7. Don't be afraid to get competitive in practice. There are two types of teammates: Those who push others to slow down, and those who push others to go faster. Be the latter.
8. Don't ever say, "This sucks." No it doesn't. It may be hard, or cold, or tough, but that doesn't mean it sucks. You knew this sport was hard work before signing up. Sports are about pushing yourself. When you mutter, "This sucks" you're actually bringing others down, too. When you're having a great practice, the last thing in the world you want to hear are negative comments from a teammate, so don't do it to them when you're having a bad practice.
9. Realize you don't have to be fast to be a good teammate. In 50 years, people won't remember times. They'll remember teammates. In my opinion, it's better to be a good teammate than a good swimmer. It takes work, but the lessons you learn being a good teammate will serve you far better in life than swimming a 200 fly really fast. And the best part in swimming – and in all sports – is you don't have to swim a 200 fly really fast to be a good teammate.

The SUNY Dolphins had an outstanding filled with plenty of successes this weekend split between the TYR Cup for USA swimmers and the Crusader Invitational at Susquehanna University. We had time drops all over the place and a bunch of really exciting careers bests! Keep up the great work!
SUNY won the "Small Team" category at TYR, which scores teams with 20 or fewer competitors against one another. This is the first time we've EVER earned that honor, and now we have a nice shiny trophy to show for it! Adriana Grabski also finished second in the high points category by only 9 points. Way to go, A!
At SU, we competed against a smaller WSY contingency and put together a great meet. The swimmers' technique has improved so much since we competed at SU last for the pentathlon in early November! We had a number of swimmers really challenge themselves in the events they chose and the toughness they displayed while racing, and we coaches couldn't ask for anything more than that!
Way to go!!!

I use Monster In-Wall CL3 14 gauge speaker wire for my surrounds. My length were 25 ft and 30 ft for surrounds
I re-arrangeed the wiring for my HT and my length has changed to 30ft and 50 ft. I had to patch the wire for my 50 ft length as I did not have contiguous length.
My question is should I switch to 12 GA speaker wire. I'm thinking of Sound King 12 GA or Carol 12 GA 4 conductor since my surrounds are biwired LSi7.
Or should I go 10GA.
I was looking for 12 GA twisted speaker wire on PartsExpress but could not find one.
Here are my choices in order of preference
1. 12 GA Twisted pair
2. 10 GA wire.(Does 10 GA make sense or 12 GA is good enough)
3. 12 GA 4 conductor wire
4. 12 GA 2 Soundking OFC copper wire.
Any other suggestions?

Renewable energy is the key to economic progress, according to a Greenpeace report, released today. In "Green is Gold: How Renewable Energy can save us money and generate jobs," Greenpeace said that the Philippines will realize economic gains from massive Renewable Energy (RE) investments.
The report outlines how RE can save the government money, create wealth, generate thousands of jobs, make electricity available and more affordable to all Filipinos, and promote national energy independence.
The geothermal plant at Palinpinon in Negros Oriental is one of many in the Philipines, which is second only to the USA in use of geothermal energy. Photo credit: Mike Gonzales
"The future is in renewable energy—not in outdated and environmentally destructive fossil fuels," said Anna Abad, Climate and Energy campaigner for Greenpeace Southeast Asia. "The Philippines can embrace an energy revolution, turn its back on coal, seize the moment, and lead the way for renewables in Southeast Asia, capitalizing on its success in geothermal and in solar panel production. This report shows clearly how renewable energy is the win-win solution for sustained economic growth in the Philippines. The Department of Energy should not miss this great opportunity. They should fully implement the RE Law, and get rid of their bias for dirty coal power projects."
The report lays out estimates of employment creation that renewable energy has brought and could bring to the Philippines, exploring the issue sector by sector and looking at solar, wind, mini hydro, geothermal, modern biomass, and ocean energy. It also touches on how manufacturing renewable energy products locally can generate employment.
Renewables – as opposed to coal and other fossil fuel industries – typically have a relatively high labor intensity, which means they spend more on hiring people; have a higher domestic content than conventional fossil fuel sectors in the Philippines; and often produce higher-value, better paying, cleaner, healthier jobs than the fossil fuel industry does.
For example, a 10 MW solar plant employs 1000 people during the construction phase and another 100 people in permanent full time jobs. These calculations are limited to direct jobs but if indirect jobs are included the job numbers increase by 50-100%. If both indirect and induced jobs are included, it could increase job numbers by 100-350%.
Workers in the renewable energy sector have been found to enjoy better health conditions compared to traditional energy generation workers. After looking at the current and future possible employment opportunities, the report's conclusion is clear: renewable energy can create thousands of good jobs in the Philippines.
In terms of revenues, the report provided data on how geothermal- considered a mature industry in the Philippines – has saved the government over US$ 7 billion since 1977. Other RE technologies suggests more savings to the economy--for biomass: US$ 96.9 million per year; for hydro: US$ 65.9 million per year; for solar: US$ 8.5 million per year; and for wind: US$ 29.5 million per year.The report states that the Philippines has the natural resources to propel itself as an RE leader in Southeast Asia. However the country's vast RE potential of about 261,000 MW remains untapped, with investors now moving to other markets in the region having been locked out by coal projects in the pipeline, as approved by the Department of Energy.
The report also mentioned how RE technology could help reduce power rates in the Philippines, the highest in Asia. Greenpeace believes that one of the reasons why renewable energy may not be taking off faster in the Philippines is the prevalence of misconceptions that seek to discredit cleaner electricity sources that benefits the many, in order to keep the coal industry profitable for a select few. Green is Gold therefore debunks these misconceptions, maintaining that coal is not cheap, because it brings in additional costs in terms of pollution, reduced agriculture and fishing yields, and damage to health. Every coal plant constructed also means less space for RE investments, and therefore less government savings and less green jobs.
"We all need electricity. It is vital – it powers our lives, runs our hospitals and schools – we need it for every aspect of our lives," said Von Hernandez, Executive Director for Greenpeace Southeast Asia. "But we need it to be clean and sustainable. The Philippine government faces a choice: to continue building coal plants that cause climate change and do not bring in as much economic benefits, or to go renewable. The facts show that it can bring us wealth, cost savings, and employment. The government's next steps should be to cancel all coal plant construction, phase out current coal facilities and immediately pave the way for a massive uptake of renewable energy."

The Couch Potato
New Castle News
We're moving full steam ahead, right into everyone's favorite time of the year. And unfortunately, I will admit that the old Couch Potato can be a bit of a Scrooge around the holidays.
It's not that I don't like Christmas, because really I do. It's just that I hate spending money on gifts and I hate dragging tubs of decorations up from the basement. Basically, I'm cheap and lazy.
However, I'm not a total miser and finally for me, the French Fries are getting old enough to start sharing in some Christmas traditions.
But before I get into the good, I'll start with the annoying. My wife has bought into everyone's, seemingly all-of-a-sudden, favorite holiday custom, "Elf on a Shelf."
Good ole Elfie hides in a new place each night upon returning from the North Pole after informing Santa if the French Fries have been naughty or nice. Elfie may be asking Santa for a new family to check in on after this year's events.
My French Fry daughter is 6 and a rule-follower to a 'T.' She never touches Elfie and delights in his sheer existence. My French Fry son is 3 and basically has the opposite personality.
In a rage against Mrs. Couch Potato over some perceived slight, French Fry son found Elfie playing a board game on the floor with some Barbies and other dolls, and proceeded to fling him off the nearest wall. I suppose it was the nastiest thing he could think to do.
After a hysterical crying fit from French Fry daughter, she was finally calmed the next day when Elfie returned with a citation for French Fry son from Santa, and a clean bill of health from the North Pole Emergency Room.
Now being that I'm the Couch Potato, my favorite holiday traditions revolve around the tube. It's hard for me to distinguish my childhood Christmas' from one another, because they all seemed so similar due to the television replays.
I actually looked forward to seeing the Budweiser Clydesdale horses marching down the snowy path with the horrible 1980s framing and music. The Stetson cologne commercial in Central Park was always a classic. And you can't leave out the Eat'n Park Christmas tree bending over to get the star on top.
No holiday season is complete without a viewing of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Find me a funnier character than Uncle Eddie — it's impossible. Best line in the movie, among many greats, is when patriarch Clark, played by Chevy Chase, tells the children that he saw a news report that Santa was in the area. Uncle Eddie (Randy Quaid) responds in complete deadpan, "You serious, Clark?"
A holiday tradition of my very own started in the early '90s when, every Thanksgiving night, NBC would play the classic Christmas movie, "Home Alone."
I'd settle in with my dad, or possibly by myself, and watch the movie from beginning to end. Every year was the same as I absolutely could not wait for the battle between 8-year-old Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) and inept burglars Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern).
It was one of the only movies my parents (who were great parents, but not movie-goers) ever took me to see in theaters.
Anyway, back to my original point. My kids are now old enough to share in some of these traditions, so this year, we all watched "Home Alone" together. I had to fast-forward through a few of the parts, but I think they got the same joy out of seeing the bad guys lose in the end.
Even if they didn't, they're darn well going to try to get some joy out of it next year, when I make them watch it again.

By Nick Curcuru
BOSTON — Essex's Benn Ferriero can now call himself a Beanpot champion.
The Boston College junior forward and Governor Dummer product played a key role in the Eagles 6-5 overtime win over Harvard in the Beanpot final on Monday night at the TD Banknorth Garden.
Ferriero finished the tournament with two points (one goal, one assist) both coming in last Monday's 4-3 overtime win over Boston University.
Needless to say, Ferriero was excited that his team was able to win the prestigious Boston hockey tourney for the first time since 2004.
"It feels great to finally win (the Beanpot)," Ferriero said. "I feel awesome right now. I'm especially happy for our seniors. They hadn't won a Beanpot yet and to win it in their last chance is really special."
The heavily-favored Eagles found victory to be a little more difficult to come by than expected thanks to a hungry Harvard squad. Boston College had a 5-3 lead with less than 10 minutes to play, but the Crimson were able to erase that lead in five minutes and send the game into overtime.
In overtime, Eagles defensemen Nick Petrecki would net the game-winner, his second goal of the game, when he banged home a rebound.
Ferriero admitted that it was discouraging that his team squandered a two-goal third period lead, but also pointed out that they showed their strength in getting the victory despite being on the wrong side of the momentum.
"It was tough giving up the lead," Ferriero said. "But it shows what type of team we have. Harvard showed a lot of heart coming back from down two goals, but we never gave up and we persevered through it to come out with the victory."
The Crimson had apparently watched the Boston University game closely, as they were keying in on Ferriero all game. Everywhere the junior forward went he had a man on him, and he was frequently double-teamed in front of the net. Ferriero, however, said he did not let it effect his game and was willing to pay the price to get the win.
"They had a guy on me most of the game but that happens and you have to play through it," said Ferriero, who registered his 100th career point against Northeastern in the Beanpot semis. "We won the game and that's all that matters."
Overall, Ferriero says this year's Beanpot was his best experience in his three years thus far at Boston College. He was especially happy to fulfill his lifelong dream of winning the Beanpot.
"This has been an unbelievable experience getting our first (Beanpot) title," Ferriero said. "Growing up in Boston you always dream about winning a Beanpot. It's something I had been looking forward to for a long time and it feels awesome to do it."

What is an "Integrated" Estate Plan?
Why might I need an Integrated Estate Plan? The term "integrated" plan refers to a group of interrelated estate planning documents that work together to cover a full range of needs. A typical integrated plan will have a family "living" trust, a will, a financial power of attorney, and a health care power of attorney. They will refer to each other to give the full effect required by law. With these documents working together, you will have provided for:
- How your property is managed during your life
- How your property is distributed after your death
- What you want regarding life support and other health care matters, and who will be making medical decisions for you

In Mad Head Games' hidden-object adventure Nevertales: Shattered Image, you and your husband, Pierre, have your hands full with your daughter Alice. Only instead of normal pre-teen annoyances like pirating music or putting the milk back in the fridge empty, she's been opening portals to other worlds even though you expressly told her not to. See, although you and Pierre share the same ability, Alice can open these portals using mirrors alone, and though you've warned her these places she opens doors to aren't always safe, your worst fears come to pass when you find her in a coma on the floor next to a broken mirror. The night she finally awakes, however, a strange creature hauls her off through yet another mirror, and to bring her safely home, you'll need to discover the root behind the mysterious power your family can wield, and put a stop to an ancient evil, because it isn't a hidden-object adventure if there's no ancient evil threatening something. I think that's the number one sign you might one day become a protagonist in a casual game is if your day-to-day life involves a lot of stories and warnings about ancient evils. Search for clues, solve puzzles and hidden-object scenes, and travel to worlds beyond your own in a way that the nerdiest of us always knew was possible. Butterfly in the skyyyyyyy....

It calls itself an escape game, though that might be only in the loosest sense. See, you're watching television when your generator quits on you, and you need to find fuel for it. You know this because your generator is an enormous talking head. It is at this point you might find yourself channeling Mabel Pines as you nervously chuckle to yourself, "What is haaaaappening here?", but you'll have to press on and explore one seriously strange city in order to win. To play, all you need to do is click on zones that highlight to show you can interact with them. If you need to use an item from your inventory, just click it at the top of the screen, and it'll automatically be used if you're in the correct location. In some cases you can find notes scattered around to help you figure out what to do, or a character might tell you what they want, but largely you're left to explore on your own. Search every scene and every angle, pay attention to your environment, and tell me I'm not the only one who suddenly feels like it's the nineties and we're watching MTV Animation again.
In Hypnotic Owl's turn-based puzzle The Wizard, titular magic maestro Kevin loses his most precious treasure... his face. That's right, someone has literally made off with his moneymaker, and he has no choice but to pursue the thief through the sewers and into a dangerous castle filled with tricks, traps, treasure, and beasties galore that would love to chew Kevin's non-existent face right off. The game is divided into levels, with the goal being to make it safely past any dangers and to the exit, casting spells to deal with anything that gets in your way. Click and drag on green tiles to make a path, but beware... monsters will come after you if they spot you. You can click a creature to see its range, which will be helpful in planning your method of attack. See, as you play, you'll unlock new spells for Kevin (how great a wizard can he be if he literally has no magic until you find it for him?) that need to be triggered by drawing specific patterns. When you find a spell, it'll go to his notebook in the upper-right corner of the screen for you to refer to. Click on Kevin, and then draw the spell's path around him to cast. As you incinerate monsters, you'll actually level up, which can earn you points to upgrade spells you've discovered. Sadly, no upgrade for the Magic Missile will allow you to attack the darkness. Hey, can I have a Mountain Dew?
iOS puzzle adventure game The Phantom PI: Mission Apparition by Rocket 5 Studios Inc manages to make dismemberment, stalking, haunting, and signing over your eternal soul absolutely adorable as you play Paranormal Investigator Cecil, who helps ghosts with their problems. The ghost with the most (issues, that is) here is Marshall Staxx, who's being bullied by a gluttonous demon named Baublebelly who keeps stealing important mementos from Staxx's rock-n-roll career. Once inside the strange mansion Staxx is, uh, "living" in, however, Cecile discovers this is no ordinary place... the doors don't seem to obey the laws of physics, spooks and danger lurk around every corner, and then there's Famke, the girl who used to be Staxx's number one fan and now just wants to make sure Cecil doesn't get in her way while she loots the place. Cecil has no choice but to keep following Baublebelly deeper into the mansion, learning the secrets behind the place and Staxx's bizarre demise, in this vibrant and funny point-and-click puzzle game aimed at players of all ages.
It ain't easy bein' freezy in Gameshot's physics puzzle game Freezy Mammoth. All your wooly little friends want to do is get inside their igloos, ideally nabbing all three stars on each level along the way, but they're frozen solid. Luckily for them, you can defrost, and refrost, both them and any other frozen elements on any stage with a click. Every mammoth needs to reach the exit safely, so if even one of them topples off into the icy abyss that apparently constitutes the rest of their world, you'll need to try again. As a result, you'll need both quick thinking and quick reflexes to get them home, taking into account the way freezing a moving object affects momentum and even the angle they might be falling. All of which sounds like a lot to ask an animal in order to ensure survival. Heck, I consider it a success if I remember to wear a jacket when the temperature starts dropping outside. I'm not actually sure I deserve my place at the top of the food chain, which basically means I'm constantly on the lookout for wolves.
So I had to look up what Warcraft actually was, as opposed to being that MMORPG you play if you're not still putting around Ultima Online and too invested to quit. I wanted to feel like I was at least a little qualified to even look at Blizzard Entertainment's card-based strategy game Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, available free for iPad, Windows, and Mac. (Free account registration required.) With the release of their new single-player expansion, The Curse of Naxxramas, it seemed like a good time to dive in and see what all the fuss has been about, though I was more than a little apprehensive about it. Though the first act of the new expansion is free, you'll need to pay for the others, but even if you aren't willing to crack open your wallet, you can still play practice missions or against other players online without paying a penny. Any game that offers multiplayer with microtransactions is automatically a little suspicious... free-to-play can easily turn into pay-to-win, after all. Fortunately, Hearthstone manages to provide some seriously addictive and strategic gameplay without ever feeling like it's leaning on your wallet. Unlike other free-to-play games, there are no timers or other restrictions placed on how often you play, either against others or by yourself, so you can play the game as much as you want.
When you unwrap your Weekday Escape delivery this week, you're in for a bit of a variety. These three escape games have little in common but one thing: pure puzzling entertainment. You could dig into our weekly package of fun in any order you choose, or try it omakase-style, starting with a fruity dish of whimsy in a grapefruit dressing from FunkyLand, a mental palate cleansing course of puzzles from Yomino Kagura, then a No1Game and Sneedle fusion geared toward the more adventuresome minded. They come with a money-back guarantee to please while you look forward to next week's escapers' curation...
For everyone who ever got in trouble during science class for mixing things to see what would happen and wound up singeing their eyebrows off, H.F. Games' sandbox puzzle simulation ReactionLab for Android was basically a dream come true. With 42 different elements like fire, water, hydrogen, and radon to experiment with, you could draw onscreen and simply make explosions, discover the way certain elements interacted, or even build. Now the game is back with more mayhem in ReactionLab 2. Sporting twelve new elements, rewind and zoom functions, a save feature, and more, it's an infinitely more healthy way to get the destructive scientific genius in you the opportunity to experiment... which is what we're going to call it to be polite when you cackle softly to yourself while playing this in public and people begin edging away.
You've been thrown out of your home and on your birthday too! You're going to have to go through Hell to get back. And I mean that as literally as possible, seeing as you're a demon and you sort of live there. Escape to Hell is from both Rob Donkin and Jay Armstrong, the latter of whom did Bearbarians so you know you're in for an action packed, dungeon-crawl brawl as you cross over the dimensional planes trying to get home. Traveling through, apparently, cost money but thankfully you can get jobs along the way. Smashing important statues, collecting magical items, saving little demons who were taken by the larger demons, or just the good old slaughter rewards you stars you can then use to cross onto the next area where new monsters await. This game makes use of both the keyboard and the mouse, and while doable with a track pad, its probably best if you have the real thing for the later levels.
Something has gone horribly wrong aboard the Nautilus. All the power on the submarine is out. The great Captain Nemo is deceased. And you've come to a dead stop on the sea floor. It seems like a nearly impossible situation to escape from. But where there's a will, and ingenuity, there's a way. In Nautilus Escape, from Just Pine Games, you will not go down with this ship, as you endeavor to get the sub back in working order and find your way back to dry land. You'll have to make use of both the items in your surroundings and unravel the puzzle-like mechanical workings of the ship to get back to the surface. Just click around your environment to investigate; the cursor changes to indicate clickable objects, and the game even helpfully explains what you're hovering your mouse cursor over before you even click on it. When you've built up an inventory, just click on the items you're carrying to use them; although you can't zoom in on them, you can still combine them by clicking in succession on the two items you want to put together. Stay strong, sailor... Even if there is something kind of creepily atmospheric and fun about being trapped 20,000 leagues under the sea!
Ever wanted to live in the world of Joss Whedon's Firefly but in bright colors and the lording government replaced by a loan shark? Well RokSoft has you covered in their new, Android game, Space Trading Profiteer. A turn-based strategy game of trading and hauling cargo, you'll get the vague feeling that you're playing Pocket Planes in space. With a single goal of rising to domination over the eight other traders, who will be the first to garner 1 million Chings and corner the transportation of black market goods? Or the less exciting legal stuffs, if you don't like the excitement of running from the cops.
Chilled out, smart, and difficult without being frustrating, TacTicTos Studios' Quebrix is everything a puzzle game should be. The game offers you thirty levels of picture sliding puzzles set to a smooth jazz soundtrack that could play in only the classiest of elevators. Simply slide each segment of the picture to try and assemble a recognizable image. Take your time. There are more points for fewer tries, and you get rewarded with a deep inspirational quote from one of history's great thinkers when you succeed. It's like an interactive motivational poster, perfect for any mid-workday break. Also, the hint system won't solve the puzzle for you. You have a limited number of hints you can play that only move the puzzle one move towards completion, so if you run out and remain stuck, you're stuck for good until you earn more by solving puzzles with the minimum moves.
From the very first time 58Works placed us in front of a door and said, "Go ahead, go on through... if you can figure out how," we were charmed. Straightening our shoulders, grinning widely, we sauntered over to it and it opened. The next one wasn't as simple as that: a key was to be found before any door was to be got past. After that, the machinations involved in door opening continued to evolve. "Alright," we thought, "so we're playing games here, are we?" But from that moment on, the fixation was irrevocably set. Which is why we're so happy to see DOOORS 4, a surprisingly inventive endless escape escape game available to play on your iOS or Android mobile device. As usual in these matters, your goal in DOOORS 4 boils down to finding what needs doing to unlock and exit the door. This can mean a lot of things, though—tapping to move obstacles or using helpful tools, swiping to push things out of the way or operating a dial, tilting and shaking your device for... well, various reasons in puzzle purposes.
NOTE: This game was played and reviewed on the iPad 2. Game was available in the North American market at the time of publication, but may not be available in other territories. Please see individual app market pages for purchasing info.
You know, I wouldn't exactly call myself a Biblical scholar, but I really don't remember the part in the story of Noah where God called down fleets of giant robots along with the rains. But if Berzerk Studios' Kick the Critter is to be believed, this is but one of the many trials faced by poor Noah in addition to his sudden acquisition of beachfront property. Or rather, faced by one small, unassuming beastie whom the perhaps not-so-poor Noah unceremoniously voted off the boat. Since he's kind of into the whole "perpetuation of his species" thing, you'll have to help launch him to get him onto the ark. Just click to set the angle and power of your kick, and watch him fly! You can click again when he's airborne to send him dashing forward, and if the type of kicker you're using has any "Smash" shots, you can press the [spacebar] when he gets close to the ground for additional kicks. Oh, did we mention that you can buy a wide range range of alternate kicking machines with different stats, so you can tailor your critter-kicking experience to your liking? Because you can totally do that. You can also upgrade your critter, and even the various obstacles and objects scattered around the field have their own power levels. And did we mention that you can even play a variety of amusing minigames in-between your punting sessions? While it starts off with the simple arcade formula that makes launch games so addictive, Kick the Critter brings with it a wealth of extra content.
They say an artist puts their soul into their works of art. Apparently, it also happens when restoring paintings too; quite literally in the case of Painted Hearts, a free indie RPG. A young acolyte named Corbin, who is training to be a Pictomancer, is called in to restore a very historical painting, but it's not the paint cracking or fading on this piece that's the problem. Pestilence, a strange mysterious monster, is actively destroying the grand image and Corbin must stop it before the prominent picture is lost forever. It is not an easy journey to take, especially for such a young boy still in training, but with the help of his own creations they will fight through till the end and destroy the Pestilence before it conquers them. With stunning artwork, fantastic vocals, and a unique fighting system that is a puzzle in itself, this is one game you're going to want to see through to the end. And did I mention it's free? Because it's totally free.

Please do not share specific names, addresses, or identifiable information of your employer.
A nanny, childminder, child care provider, or a mother's helper is an individual who provides care for one or more children in a family as a service. Traditionally, nannies were servants in large households and reported directly to the lady of the house. Today, modern nannies, like other domestic workers, may live in or out of the house depending on their circumstances and those of their employers. Professional nannies are usually certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, qualified in First Aid, and have a degree or extensive training in child development.

You're either very early or vary late with this question, but I guess my nanny resolution would be don't take that great paying job if the parents are unbearable, the money won't be worth your sanity. Similarly, don't take a job for less than your rate just because the family seems nice.
[–]r04r04r 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
I totally agree, I'm so tired of letting myself get walked all over for $15/hr. A nanny is a luxury and if you can't afford to pay one well put your kids in daycare people!! I guess my resolution would be to stand up for myself and demand benefits like health insurance contributions when negotiating my next contract.
As far as a child related resolution, I'm caring for a young girl with Asperger's, ADHD, and ODD so I would like to find some good resources on these and learn more skills and techniques for teaching and nurturing her.
[–]nanny_s 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
When I nannied a boy with aspergers, my best resource was his ABA therapist. Just talking to her 10 mins a day and learning simple techniques that worked specifically with him made our interactions so much better.
[–]r04r04r 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
I've only been working with her two weeks so we are still in the honeymoon period where she thinks I'm super cool. She's having a small amount of trouble with the transition but is taking it out more on mom than me. She's on abilify which seems to help a ton but I know some day soon she will have a melt down on me. I will ask if I can talk to the therapist or the RSP/SLPs she sees at school when school starts in a few weeks!
[–]but-I-dontunderstand 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
It's August 7th. Let's cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, I'm going to enjoy the rest of summer.

I personally don't set anything in my personal life in regards to my work life. If I were the kind of person to even do resolutions they would be for me. I've never even heard of Nanny magazine either it sounds great but the topic? Not so much.

For the Star Beacon
For some wrestlers, it's in their genes to hate to losing. Others simply have it embedded in them through years of shedding blood, sweat and tears on the practice mats.
By the time a grappler completes his or her senior season, they've spent the better part of six years — longer in some cases — training to avoid having to watch a competitor get his arm raised.
There are no off days between October and March. There's no time to relax and simply enjoy rolling around on a mat.
Wrestlers from area schools took the 15th annual Star Beacon-Mike Scully Senior Classic at Lakeside on Monday to do just that.
"Most of us have worked year round in the weight room, in the wrestling room and at camps for the last four years, let alone if we did it in junior high," Ricker Maple of Jefferson said. "We never get to have fun for even just one match. This is our only chance to relax, have fun and, I guess, express ourselves in a way.
"After four years of working, have fun and not have everything be so serious for once in our careers."
Conneaut's Billy Post was in full agreement.
"We get to go out and have fun for once," he said. "You've got to be serious in this sport. If you don't work hard, you're opponent will be working harder and will go out and lay a whoopin' on you.
"It was nice to relax, basically play around and not take it seriously."
In an event that featured a wrestler in fishnet stockings, an elbow drop and a match between a 106-pound mighty mite and a 220-pound ogre, Maple managed to "win" two matches.
"I didn't rig it," Maple joked. "We were just all out here having fun. It wasn't about competing for points. We were just showing some fun moves and whoever had the most points at the end, got the victory. I was just lucky enough to have more points in two matches."
Rocky Tripodi and Blake Perry, Maple's Jefferson teammates, may have made the fashion statement of the night.
After checking in at the scorer's table before their bout, stared each other down. Then, in a scene straight from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," each reached down and dramatically ripped off their tear-away pants.
Immediately, all eyes were drawn to Perry's legs as he was wearing a pair of florescent yellow and black striped leggings.
"I thought it would be funny," Perry said.
Tripodi opted for fishnet stockings.
"They bring out the inner wrestler in me," he said.
It was hard to determine which was scarier, the fact that the two young men opted for hosiery, or where they got it from.
"They're my sister, Mya's," Perry said. "(If she didn't know I had them,) she does now."
Tripodi opted to stop and purchase his own undergarment.
"I got them at Rite-Aid," he said.
There was a reason the pair requested to compete against one another.
"It would've been very awkward (to wrestler somebody else)," Tripodi said.
They may have enjoyed their clothing a little too much.
"Maybe I'll wear them around the house," Tripodi said.
"Yeah, (I'll wear them again)," Perry added. "I like them."
And that may be the mentality that would have scared the other competitors, at least a little.
"I thought it was pretty humorous," Post said. "It was something of a change for this sport. We had a good laugh.
"I would've wrestled them. I would not have been 100-percent comfortable with it, but it would have been fun."
Tripodi used a WWE-style elbow drop to get the pin of Perry.
"That was devastating," Perry said. "That was it, man."
Needless to say, the match was a hit with fans, who giggled throughout.
In keeping with the idea the event was about letting loose, another pair of teammates squared off two matches later. The diminutive Alesha Zappitella took on fellow Spartan Post, at Post's request.
"I thought it would be something funny and cool," Post said. "We're the bookends. We've been wrestling on the same team for five years. She's the smallest and I'm the biggest on the team. I thought it would be cool to wrestle her in a fun match."
There may have been a bit more to it, though. Post may have been looking out for Zappitella, who was more than 25 pounds lighter than any of the other competitors and would not have had a match.
"It meant a lot to actually wrestle somebody," Zappitella said. "Neither Billy nor I would've had a match."
"I am kinda her big brother," Post said. "We've got to look out for each other on and off the mat."
While the two tangled, Post resembled a big brother tumbling around with his much younger kid sister. At times, it looked as if he were handling a porcelain doll.
"The only person (on the team) like that is Billy," Zappitella said. "They're rough with me, but when it comes to other people, they'll protect me.
"Through five years of wrestling together, (Billy and I have) become close friends and teammates."
It was that last sentiment that maybe says it all.
"For my last high school match, it was nice to wrestle somebody I care about...," Zappitella said, before correcting herself in an effort to sound less sentimental. "It was nice to wrestle somebody I know and can have fun with."

The HinduPrint Edition
Bhubaneswar, June 4 (PTI) Three rare Melanistic Indian tigers have been spotted in the Similipal National Park in Orissa's Mayurbhanj district.
Official sources said that rare black tigers were spotted at the state's only tiger reserve during the ongoing tiger census through camera-trap method. The census is being conducted by the surveyors from Wildlife Institute of India by installing cameras in 30 different locations in the core area of the 2750 sq km national park.
"The cameras captured the pictures of one female and two cubs of black colour," the sources said, adding the survey team had so far captured pictures of six tigers of whom three were black in colour.
The tigers had light brown coat with jet black stripes which is due to genetic reasons. "The sample census is being conducted only in 120 sq km area," said chief wildlife warden Suresh Mohanty. The core area inside the park is spread over 850 sq km.
While describing existence of black tigers in Similipal National Park as 'usual', Mohanty said. Noted tiger expert and former chief wildlife warden of Orissa Saroj Kumar Patnaik told PTI that the black tigers were earlier spotted way back in 1993 at Pedagarh in the park area. This apart, the black tigers were spotted for the second time in 2004 at Debasthal in the core area, Patnaik said.

Polo sets out its stall in Lagos
Polo has a large and growing following in Nigeria and every year fans get the chance to see some of the country's best players at the Lagos International Polo tournament. This year more than 200 participants registered for the event.
It's the biggest polo tournament in Africa. This time around 30 teams took part and more than 3,000 people came to watch.
Polo was introduced to Nigeria by British colonialists in the early 1900s. The sport isn't as popular as soccer but local interest is growing fast.
Several companies sponsored this year's event, which cost millions of dollars. Polo is an expensive sport. Each team fields 24 horses during a match and each horse costs about $40,000.
Most of Nigeria's players are young successful businessmen. Bode Makanjuola trades in oil and gas. He's been playing polo for three years now. Bode owns the Coverton Polo club, playing in white jerseys. He never misses a game.
"I like the competitive nature of polo and the ultimate aim is actually to build a very strong team so that in the future we can compete not just in Nigeria but in Africa. And who knows, Europe or round the world, that's the ultimate sort of aim," he told Reuters Africa Journal.
"A lot of people are getting into it, people find that it's not as snobbish or as you say, it's not as out of reach as a lot of people sort of think."
But somebody has to pay for the horses, the trucks, the mallets and other equipment, even if players insist that those who don't have much money can still play.
And while it obviously helps to be young and fit, the veterans still like to saddle up. It's an easy game, says Ali Abubakar, 74, who has been playing for 30 years.
"We are still in the game," he said, shortly before falling off his horse.
Not many Nigerians will be trading in their love for popular sports like football to take
up polo, but players at the Lagos club hope that those who are interested know that there's an
opportunity for them to try.

NSA Director: Surveillance Stopped 50 Terror Plots
Keith Alexander says a new 'two-person rule' will prevent future security leaks.
National Security Agency Director Keith Alexander testified Tuesday before the House Intelligence Committee that phone and Internet surveillance programs made public by former defense contractor Edward Snowden prevented approximately 50 terrorist plots since 2001, 10 of which targeted the U.S., and said new policies are being crafted to prevent another large-scale leak.
Alexander disclosed that approximately 1,000 people are currently employed as NSA systems administrators – the position Snowden held – and that the agency is "working to come up with a two-person rule" to prevent people "from taking information out of our system." Snowden was a contractor assigned to the NSA by Booz Allen Hamilton before he downloaded and released information on the top-secret programs.
The intelligence agency leader didn't go into detail about what precisely the new "two person" rule would entail. "When one of those persons misuses their authority, that is a huge problem," Alexander said.
[BROWSE: Editorial Cartoons on NSA Surveillance]
The government officials present at Tuesday's hearing publicly disclosed two cases they said were cracked with the broad communications surveillance: One in 2010, in which investigators nabbed Khalid Ouazzani for allegedly plotting with Yemeni co-conspirators to blow up the New York Stock Exchange and another in which a man was arrested for providing "financial support" to an extremist group in Somalia.
Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, questioned FBI Deputy Director Sean Joyce at the hearing, inquiring if the NYSE plotters were serious or if the plans were "something they kind of dreamed about talking among their buddies." Joyce said the conviction of plotters showed it was a serious plan.
"Ouazzani had been providing information and support to this plot," Joyce testified. However, Ouazzani's defense attorney, Robin Fowler, disputed the government's tale, telling Wired magazine that his client "was not involved in any plot to bomb the New York Stock Exchange" and, in fact, his guilty plea is only for providing material support to al-Qaida.
Two previously disclosed examples – of New York subway bomber Najibullah Zazi and David Headley, who sought out Mumbai targets for terrorists – were disputed by the Guardian, which published the initial reports on the government programs. The Guardian reported that each case may have actually originated with tip-offs from British intelligence.
[RELATED: Obama Defends NSA Snooping]
Alexander, the NSA director, testified that the programs, which were unknown to the public until earlier this month, are "subject to rigorous oversight" and touted the agency's "rigorous training programs" for analysts.
Under the phone record-collection program, which has been used to gather the metadata of customer phone calls from major U.S. companies for seven years, the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court requires that companies hand over records on an ongoing daily basis. The information is retained by the NSA for analysis. The orders are reissued every 90 days.
Alexander lavished praise on the FISA court – where targets do not have defense attorneys present – for its "superb" job with the secret programs. "They have been extremely professional, there is, from my perspective, no rubber stamp," he said.
"This is not a program that's off the books," testified Deputy Attorney General James Cole, who complained that news reports did not mention limitations on how the information can be used. Requests for access to the logs and records of access history are documented and audited, he said.
Cole said the Fourth Amendment – which protects Americans from unreasonable search and seizure – does not protect the phone records of Americans because customers of phone companies do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy for records of who they call. Nonetheless, he said, American citizens and permanent residents do not have their phone logs whimsically searched.
"Every now and then, there may be a mistake," Cole admitted, but he said those instances are "reported to the FISA court immediately," as well as congressional judiciary and intelligence committees.

Franz Ferdinand, Electric Brixton - music review
This whip-smart foursome bring a new zest to the stage in their first London show since 2009
Published: 21 August 2013
Updated: 16:04, 27 August 2013
There's nothing quite like a period of uncertainty to make or break a band. Last night, Franz Ferdinand returned for their first London show since 2009, aside from a July warm-up at a Dalston pub and a slot at last year's Field Day festival.
Electric Brixton was unquestionably too small for them, so fans were obliged to enter a lottery for the right to buy tickets.
While they've been away, the Glasgow-based band have conquered America, where their third album, Tonight, was their second to reach the Top 10.
Relationships frayed by the album-tour-album treadmill, they apparently contemplated separation.
Souls suitably searched, they re-bonded, recorded a joyous fourth album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action (released on Monday) and, if this deliriously received celebration of old and new was any yardstick, re-kindled their enthusiasm for Franz Ferdinand.
The whip-smart foursome may be less fey than they were, but there was new zest to the familiar Do You Want To, extended into a Caledonian gospel orgy of singalong handclapping — Bob Hardy's thudding bass could have anchored an aircraft carrier — while the always welcome Take Me Out was re-established as their calling card.
Like Kim Jong-un and those born in the Bronze Age, Franz Ferdinand leader Alex Kapranos's precise birthdate is fiendishly difficult to verify, but he's downed his aloofness and upped his game.
He bounced like a space-hopper during Michael, but he brought genuine emotion to both Walk Away and the closing lullaby Goodbye Lovers And Friends.
The obvious source of this rejuvenation was the new material. Fresh Strawberries, Stand On The Horizon and Treason! Animals all had depth, directness and the unmistakeable whiff of successful evolution.
Throw in Kapranos and Nick McCarthy's spring-heeled harmonies and Franz Ferdinand are contenders once again.

Micromax is the second largest vendor of smartphones in the Indian market. In order to overtake Samsung and claim the number one spot, the company has constantly been striving to provide customers with a wide range of highly functional devices that have newest technology incorporated in them. One such device is the Micromax Funbook Mini P410 tablet. This tablet is expected to enter the Indian market soon at the price of Rs, 8,820. Let us have a look at some of the key features and specifications of the Micromax Funbook Mini P410:
- Display: This device comes with a capacitive touch display of 7 inches and provides a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.
- Processor: This tablet runs on a dual core processor clocked at 1 Giga Hertz. The marker of the processor has not been disclosed by the company yet.
- Operating System: The Micromax Funbook Mini P410 runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean version.
- Camera: This tablet features a rear camera of 2 mega pixels and a VGA front facing shooter of 0.3 mega pixels.
- Memory: This device comes with a RAM of 1 GB, internal storage capacity of 4 GB and expandable storage capacity of up to 32 GB with the help of a micro SD card.
- Connectivity Features: The Connectivity features included in the Micromax Funbook Mini P410 are Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS and 3G.
- Other Features: It is a dual SIM tablet that supports GSM SIMs only. It also features a 3.5 mm audio jack.
- Battery: The Micromax Funbook Mini P410 works on a battery of 2800 mAh.
Our Take: The Micromax Funbook Mini P410 is a pretty good device at such an affordable price. However, its processor may fail to satisfy customers. It will offer competition to Karbonn TA-FONE A37 HD which comes with similar features and has gone on sale very recently.

Match Preview
Cherries quartet in contention Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has a fully-fit squad to choose from ahead of their Sky Bet Championship opener against Charlton. Howe could hand debuts to all four of his summer signings as they prepare for life in English football's second tier for only the second time. Defenders Elliot Ward and Ian Harte could both feature at the back, while forward Mohamed Coulibaly is expected to lead the line. The Cherries also added Norwich winger Andrew Surman on a season-long loan on Thursday and he also is in contention to start. Charlton could hand debuts to strike duo Marvin Sordell and Simon Church. The pair signed on Thursday and could be in contention, while fellow new boys Richard Wood and Mark Gower are also hoping for inclusion. The Addicks have no fresh injury concerns but will have to make do without summer departures Scott Wagstaff, Bradley Wright-Phillips and Danny Haynes. The teams last met almost 18 months ago when Charlton left Dean Court with all three points thanks to a last minute Yann Kermogrant winner during their promotion season.

Undecided Question: RIFT rogue pvp build? NEED HELP!?
Steven Asked: Undecided Question: RIFT rogue pvp build? NEED HELP!?
I am a little stuck at the moment
I have recently discovered that assassin is not a very effective spec in pvp at 50. My rogue is level 46 and I have no desire to re roll
Keeping that in mind, what are some good specs in pvp for rogues? I am looking for damage out put but also want a few stuns and CCs.
I was quite interested in 33 assassin/27 riftstalker/6 ranger – but how affective is that specs anyways?

Premier Clinic: Fingerstyle
September 10, 2007
We''re sorry, but
this video lesson is no longer available.
View the digital version of the article by clicking the "DIGITAL" link above
from David Hamburger's New School Fingerstyle Blues
The epitome of the relaxed, late-night groove is "After Hours," pianist Avery Parrish's hit feature with the Erskine Hawkins big band. It has long been to blues pianists what "Honky Tonk" or "Hideaway" is to electric guitarists – a rite of passage and a source of essential vocabulary on the instrument. "Kerosene" makes use of the same triplet-laden 12/8 feel as "After Hours" – minus the horns and the rhythm section.
Kerosene is a slow blues in the key of D, and we'll be using drop D tuning, which is fairly common in blues tunes, to open up the possibility for some different voicings. This tune has an alternating bass note feel, but keep an eye out at the turnaround when it switches to a walking bassline. To get a feel for the mood of this tune, listen to some '50s and '60s blues ballads from players like saxophonist Jim Webster, which is sometimes referred to as the "After Hours" feel.
Kerosene starts out on a D7 chord, followed by a hammer-on combined with a double-stop with a triplet feel, so hammer-on to the second fret on the third string and hold down the note on the second string, first fret. Meanwhile, your thumb will be alternating between the sixth, fourth, fifth and then the fourth string again, performing the hammer-on at the same time as the bass notes. You'll only get halfway through the second measure before the hammer-on/pull-off combination.
The third measure moves from a D6 to an Am, but you could also look at the Am as a D9 with an A on the bottom, or D9/A. This is followed by another hammer-on/pull-off – this time to it's open to first fret to open on the D string while you also grab the G string with your picking thumb.
The G chord is just like a barred version of the D7 moved up to the fifth fret. The hammer-on is the same, with the same feel, the difference being instead of the bass being sixth string, fourth string, fifth string back to fourth, we will play the sixth string, fourth string, the open sixth and then fourth string.
Watch the bass line in the next section as it requires a bit of flim-flam to get everything in there. Grab the notes with your thumb, index and middle fingers, then slide up to the G6 and G9 voicings.
Try the parts out individually, playing them slowly to get them to groove, and then you can start to stitch them all together and have the whole piece under your fingers.

Meet Our Summer Interns
Aurora Loves Our Volunteers
This Summer we are buzzing with activity and thanks to the help of an army of interns, the staff plan to keep our cool. Each semester Aurora welcomes a fresh crop of young faces as interns. In exchange for their support with administrative responsibilities, office management and events, we offer them hands-on experience as a non-profit media arts professional. This semester, we are happy to announce that we have FIVE helper bees. If you have not yet met them at Aurora function, then please do say hello the next time that you join us!
