I wrote this post several months back as a kind of back up post, to put up when I was lacking content. I haven't had that issue apparently so I decided it was time to pull it up and get it published! Recently(ish) Melissa from I Swim for Oceans did a post called Let's Talk: What Makes a Good Book Review. I urge you to check it out and those that linked up. There's some good thoughts there!
Those are kind of two different things asked and I'm going to approach the first one first. What is it that you like in a review? Personally I like to know their thoughts about the characters, whether the plot was good and moved at a decent pace, originality of the story, the content and whether it all worked together, and of course I want to know the good and the bad. I don't want anyone to get all mean about a book, keep in mind it's just your opinion, but if something didn't quite click with you please let us know in a nice way. I don't care for reviews that point out all sorts of good things but then rate it 3 stars. Clearly there was stuff you loved LESS, please give us an idea what it was. It can be that it just didn't quite have a WOW factor even, I just want an idea what it was that made you not love it. Of course you can switch that around too and say all kinds of negative things and then give it 3 stars, so to me 3 stars says you liked it. Maybe not loved it, but liked it and it was worth the time you took to read it. So please, don't say only negative things then give it 3 stars. I need to know what you DID like about it as well. {I do know that some people rate on a different scale, I'm speaking on a scale of 1-5 here.}
I don't mind lengthy reviews if they are wrote well. I try to keep my reviews at a medium length. Short reviews often don't give me enough insight for me to determine whether I want to read it. However some books just don't leave a huge impression and writing much about them is rather difficult. I also don't mind a short review when it's a book later in a series. Just knowing if it was good, if the characters lived up to expectations, etc is enough for me. Reviews of children's books are also fine in short version. What about you, what's your preferred length?
Okay, so what compels you to read a book? I get many review requests each day. Sometimes I just know it's not my thing and I delete it. Other times I decide to look up reviews and get an idea of the feedback. And what often makes me decide to hold off on a book is all positive reviews. I'm been reviewing books for a few years now and I've found that if a book ONLY has good reviews then there's something fishy there. I know, that sounds bad. And actually, if there are only 5 reviews on that book and they are all positive I'm well aware that it's very possible it's an excellent book. But it could just be that those 5 people are friends and family of the author. When I see a book has a variety of ratings and I read through and see what peoples complaints were I have a much better idea of whether it's for me. For example, a person may not like a book because they prefer no strong Christian themes in their books and so they rate it 3 stars for that reason alone, if I liked strong Christian themes (I don't actually...) then I know that I may like it. Or if someone rates it low because they hated the cursing, and personally I don't love a lot of cursing but it's never made me rate a book less, so I might still like the book. But if many people say that the grammar and editing needs quite a lot of work and it's said over and over again I may ask the author if it's been updated and/or if I can get a sample before committing. My point is, I want an idea of whether this book is for me and all positive reviews aren't giving me enough.
Now when you're reading reviews on a blog what is it that gets you to say I MUST READ THAT? If the reviewer points out how much they loved the characters I'm probably going to want to read the book. I guess some additional info helps, like if they were absolutely hilarious- yep, going on my pile! I also am a sucker for unique-ness. If I hear that a book is so completely different from anything else out there, well I'm likely to give it a try. And incoherent raving sells me every time. Okay, so not really. But if there's incoherent raving and then a review pointing out everything I want in a review (characters, plot, setting, pace, etc) then I'll certainly be putting it on my list.
Sometimes it doesn't take much to get a book on my pile. Not long ago someone sent me a recommendation via goodreads and I checked it out (I don't usually) and saw lots of good reviews of it and so I bought it (it was only .99 cents). Sometimes I get a review request and I just say yes because of the description alone. I think it's all about my mood and how I'm feeling about my TBR at that particular moment. Luckily that one was a winner and ended up on my favorites list for the year.
So tell me, what are your thoughts?

Am 18-year-old man was in the hospital with injuries Monday night after being shot in north Omaha.
Police officers were on another call nearby when they heard shots near 36th and Pratt Streets.
They found that occupants of a red car fired at least three shots into a black, four-door sedan. A passenger in the sedan — a man in his early 20s — was hit.
The driver parked at Dailey's Package Liquors, 3113 N 30th St., and flagged down an officer.
"More than likely they were probably en route to the hospital," said Omaha Police Lt. Mark Matuza.
The injured man was taken to Creighton University Medical Center. Matuza declined to say how many times he had been shot, or where. His injuries were considered nonlife-threatening.
The red car fled north. A police helicopter was searching for the car Monday night.
Later, about 2 a.m., police said a man suffered a gunshot wound to his lower leg.
The shooting was reported near 33rd and Lake Streets.

Just throwing this out there but what exactly is Dante's cardio recommendations? I've seen morning fasted 45 min incline walking, then I've seen the suggestion of HIIT? Which is it? Still reading...
I believe cardio is done 0-2 times a week off season and virtually everyday when cutting.
Low impact @ 45 min of walking.
And use some type of thermogenic fat burner+usnic acid (I wouldn't recommend the usnic acid).
There's not much in terms of diet/cardio with doggcrapp.
It's like a taboo thing to talk about or something.
what is your avatar supposed to be ?
It seemed suspicious looking to me so I liked it. No other reason lol
Yeah I can handle the diet part, just wasnt sure on cardio. I can actually cut quite well without cardio....its just that I would hate only being in the gym 3x/week. WTF do you do all week with all the extra free time!
Yea the diet part kinda gets me to. I guess it does have rules. Eat 2x's your BW in protein and eat that first in every meal then EFA's then fill up on carbs if need be.
Dont eat carbs after 6pm, only green veggies.
Seems simple to me
but yea he doesn't like to talk about, could be because this is "his" thing and people pay big bucks to do this and it suppose to be private.

Btw anyone do DC without a spotter? My new gym is nice, but sometimes I am literally the only person in there, and they dont have HS equipment.
I NEVER use a spotter bro. UNFORTUNATELY without one, the smythe machine will be your best friend, but whatever. It's not like you won't grow from using it. I am just not a fan of it restricting your natural range of motion. Stay tuned to my log as you will see what exercises work well with no spotter just like DW said: smythe machine and DB's man.
I hate the smith machine!Absolutley hate it!!!!And everyone else loves it.So what I'm getting at is I'd have to wait for it.I know guys who walk straight to the SM,and perform half,if not their whole wo on it.They go from that to cablesAnyways I use mostly db's due to DC now.Now for legs I do back sq's,front sq's,and leg press.I'm sorry but I'm not doing legs on machines everytime!I'm proud of my legs and they didn't get there from ****ing self suported,balanced machines!!!!So I don't end on negatives cause I can't.I don't on the leg press either,just way too awkward I'd imagine.For the static hold I grab a pair of 50lb db's to do it.
Like bass says though,you will grow from the SM.But what I hate about it,besides taking away your natural ROM,is all you have to do is push.Theirs no balancing which is exactly what makes free weights more affective than machines.
I was reading the cycles for pennies doc (longggggg), but I noticed the following gem. I was always thinking the stretches given are not really flexible for change, however that doesnt look to be true:
Yikeso you cycle/change up your stretches for each muscle .. oer do yuo always do the same stretch for each muscle? I'm throwing in a little variety and it it seems to help.
Doggcrapp: hey yikes i overlooked this question a couple weeks ago and I went back and saw it today sorry bout that....I think out new stretches all the time and I'll try them out--I absolutely hate stretching my hamstrings so I try different ones for the hams all the time.
Most DC stuff isn't written in stone...
The biggest thing for me doing DC is recovery. Since I've been in grad school going only 3x a week is ok for me. However, my recovery time is very long. After doing chest, I just want to lie on the floor of the gym and not move.
When you start getting really high in weight is when your CNS gets to the point of nearly being trashed.
DC training benefits more natural bodybuilders, IMO since forces muscle growth.
The whole high volume thing is really stale esp as a natural.
When you are on steroids, any training program works.

Fewer plan to shop on Black Friday 2011, survey finds. What do they know?
Forty-four percent of Americans plan to shop on Black Friday 2011, a new survey shows. That compares with 47 percent in 2010 and 52 percent in 2009. Today's shoppers have more bargain-hunting tools.
(Page 2 of 2)
"Retailers may not get as much coal in their stocking this holiday season, but they will still need a miracle to get the cash registers ringing," says Jane Bailey of TPN, a retail marketing agency, in a statement. While their forecasters predict a 2 to 3 percent increase over last year's retail sales, many retailers placed orders for holiday merchandise last spring, when it looked as if the economy was on the upswing, says Ms. Bailey.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
With the subsequent debt-limit clash over the summer and this week's failure of the congressional deficit-cutting "super committee" to devise a plan, "retailers aren't certain if consumers are feeling confident enough to shop," she says. "If overstocked with items, retailers will have to slash prices to move merchandise, causing lower sales." [Editor's note: The original attribution of the source in the preceding two paragraphs was incorrect and has been changed.]
Also on the side of consumers are new Internet destinations and iPad/iPod apps. One, Decide.com, calculates the best time to buy consumer electronics, using broad surveys of what brick-and-mortar stores and e-tailers are offering. In-store consumers can just scan the product's barcode – or do a search by model number – for an instant analysis of whether to buy now or wait.
"A one-second search can save you hundreds of dollars and the pain that comes with buying the wrong product at the wrong time," says Mike Fridgen, CEO of Decide.com.
His company's advice? "Sleep in on Black Friday. While some products are offered at a deep discount, most [consumer electronics] products hit their lowest prices in early December, well after the hype of Black Friday or Cyber Monday," he says.
What all this research shows about 2011 America is that Black Friday is not nearly as green as it once was, explains Richard Laermer, CEO of RLMpr and author of "Trend Spotting 2011."
"Christmas consumers are mostly waiting 'til desperate retailers pull out all the stops and literally beg them to shop – at the lowest possible rate. The media hype spending as big-big during holidays – what else are they going to do, act like Grinches? My research demonstrates that even those fortunate enough to have expendable income – not a very high number of citizens – are unsure about their financial situation during this tumultuous coming year. Political infighting, riots on streets, mass layoffs, and corporate closings are not making it a happy holiday thus far, so spending will undoubtedly decrease. We will buy presents, for sure, but for those who deserve it the most or who will guilt us if we don't."

Good Morning Elisabeth. I totally agree with you about NY resolutions. Actually, I made one two years ago, that I plan to renew each New Year. On that NY I vowed to lose weight for my son's wedding which was the following Dec. I did, and now my resolution is to keep it off!!! I also want to read more, and can't wait for Cole and Julie's story! Oh, and Happy New Year!
Elisabeth Barrett's thoughts on New Years Resolutions #Giveaway!
Okay, it's the third week in January, and I want to know:
(a) what were your New Year's resolutions?; and
(b) which resolutions you have kept/broken to date?
I'll be honest with you. I don't make resolutions anymore. If I'm going to do something (like lose 10 lbs, ahem), I don't want to wait for some arbitrary date. I just need to start while I'm motivated and the momentum is carrying me forward.
Flash back to the year 2005 when I was resolving to make some pretty serious changes in my own life. I got married, changed jobs, and moved, all within the span of a few months, and when I returned to my regularly-scheduled life, I realized a couple of things. First, I wouldn't be moving back to New England, (as I had originally planned), because I was now married to an awesome guy whose work was squarely in California. And second, my new job wasn't everything I hoped it would be. Longing for my hometown, and itching to flex my brain in a way that wasn't patent law-related, I resolved to try something different. That something was writing my first book, a novel set on Cape Cod about a guy whose whole life is one big resolution.
Cole Grayson, the hero of that book (which eventually became Long Simmering Spring, the third book in my Star Harbor series) had always thought of himself as a disappointment. His father died when Cole was young, and after a youth of hell-raising, Cole cut out of Star Harbor to join the Army. Thanks to years of discipline and structure, he finally turned into someone he can be proud of. But when he returns to Star Harbor to become the town's sheriff, some emotional baggage comes along for the ride. Complicating matters is the fact that he's still trying to overcome his reputation as a bad boy, and some folks aren't convinced he's changed.
Cole eventually does a great job of convincing everyone that he's changed. Everyone, that is, except himself. In Cole's case, his resolution to change has truly happened, but it's not until Julie Kensington, the local doctor, comes along that he can actually see his own transformation. His happy ending is hard-earned, and makes him appreciate it all the more.
I'm happy to say there was a happy ending for me, too! I switched jobs to one I enjoyed a lot more and kept writing, writing, writing in my free time. And the story that started it all will be released by Loveswept on May 13th. Hooray!
So tell me, what were your New Year's resolutions? Which have you kept and which have you broken? I'll give away a paper copy of Deep Autumn Heat (the first Star Harbor novel) to one random commenter. U.S. only, please.
WINNER announced – thanks for blogging!!
About Elisabeth:
Raised in a sleepy little Connecticut town, Elisabeth draws on her upbringing to write small-town romances. Her summers spent living and working on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard were the inspiration for the Star Harbor series, which kicked off with Deep Autumn Heat and Blaze of Winter, and continues with Long Simmering Spring. Currently, Elisabeth lives in Northern California with her husband and three children. Her only resolution is to read more this year.
Find her online: Website | Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Goodreads
About Long Simmering Spring:
Spring comes to Star Harbor, bringing unexpected passion for a sexy sheriff, as the next Grayson brother finds love with the town's beautiful doctor.
Julie Kensington grew up in the same small town as the Grayson brothers and remembers when the boys were nothing but trouble. As teenagers, Cole's rugged sex appeal set Julie's heart ablaze, but she did her best to ignore it. Now a grown woman with a medical degree, Julie still can't resist her searing attraction to the roughest, toughest Grayson. He's ex-military, tormented, and sexier than ever, but are his wounds too deep to be healed by her loving, gentle touch?
Even back in high school, straight-arrow Julie had a way of making Cole think twice about his bad-boy lifestyle. When Julie decides she's finally ready to embrace her wild side, Cole knows he is just the man to show her the way, unleashing years of pent-up desire. Neither of them counted on falling in love, but when Cole's demons threaten to derail their relationship, it's up to Julie to show him that together, they can overcome the past . . . and build a future.

Hi, Pat! I love that you have a renewable resolution. Seriously inspiring! Happy New Year!
Didnt make any. LOL.
That's okay, Helen! As you can see, I didn't either!
Hi Elisabeth! I agree with you about NY resolutions! Seems a good way to set myself up to fail! lol….I just try to appreciate at least one thing in my life every day…it can be the cup of tea my husband leaves for me every morning or having the kids home for winter break! Love your books!
Now *that* is a good resolution. To appreciate one thing in your life everyday. That should be everyone's resolution, all the time! And I'm so glad you love Star Harbor – thank you!
I didn't make any. As you mention, if it's something that should be done or I want to do, why wait? Plus, there's nothing "magic" about Jan. 1 resolution since 99% of them crash and burn within the month.
Yes, Anne, that is exactly my point! If you're motivated to do something, why wait?
To read more books
I decided to try something new this year. Instead of making resolutions(which, when not kept, make me feel like a failure), I decided to try out the "word of the year". (Thanks to author Debbie Macomber for this idea.) My word this year is FOCUS. So, every day I am attempting to focus more on my life. What brings me joy? What doesn't? Where do I need to say "no"? I'm really liking this word…it's helping me to appreciate what I have & also helping to motivate me to make changes that will free up more of my time.
That is *awesome* because the theme carries through your whole life.
To walk everyday. I had some health issues last year and if I get in better shape I will be around longer. I need to be here to drive my kids crazy, lol. So far I am doing great, at both walking and the crazy part.
Good job, Ann. That is a great resolution, and I'm glad you're keeping it!
Don't make resolutions anymore never stick to them, did get a better job this year.
I don't do too much in the way of resolutions – the only two I came up with this year was to keep going with my weight loss and exercise program, and so far it's going well. I also wanted to read at least as many books this year as I did the last two years, and I'm on track so far.
To start walking again.WINNER
Best. Resolution. Ever! I'll be rooting for you!
To get in more exercise and lose some weight.
I didn't make any this year!
I want to find a job!
To lose weight.

TEXT - Fitch says Ohio Turnpike $1.5 bln new debt not expected to harm bondholders
- Tweet
- Share this
Jan 4 - Ohio Gov. John Kasich's plan to issue $1.45 billion in new bonds through the Ohio Turnpike Commission (OTC) to fund transportation projects in Northern Ohio is not expected to negatively impact the quality of existing OTC debt, according to a new Fitch Ratings report. 'While the proposed bonds' credit quality will likely differ from the 'AA' rating on the outstanding debt, Fitch views the plan as conservative, providing the turnpike with a fair amount of flexibility in the future,' said Reed Singer, Director in Fitch's Global Infrastructure Group. Gov. Kasich's announcement comes after a 10-month study evaluating different options, including privatization, which was rejected. Ohio's decision not to lease its turnpike, as Indiana did in 2006, demonstrates that privatization concerns continue to influence policy-makers. While Ohio's consultant report noted that a 50-year lease of the turnpike could generate $3.3 - $4 billion, Ohio chose not to privatize as the analysis included toll increases above the rate of inflation for EZ-Pass users. In the announced plan, OTC intends to limit toll increases to inflation for 10 years and then possibly increase rates by 10% every 10 years thereafter. For more information, a special report titled 'Ohio Turnpike Unveils $1.5 billion Transportation Plan' is available on the Fitch Ratings web site at 'www.fitchratings.com'.

BULLDOGS TO LANE CC FOR 2012 CROSSOVER December 17, 2012
Tayler Flemming led Bellevue with 12 points in their opening win at the Lane Crossover.
photo by Rich Dworkis
On Thursday, Dec. 13, the Bellevue College women's basketball team traveled to Eugene, Oregon, to participate in the three-day 2012 Cross-Over Tournament hosted by Lane Community College. The tournament included two teams from each region: Bellevue and Peninsula from the North, Spokane and Yakima Valley from the East, Clark and South Puget Sound represented the West, and Lane and Linn-Benton from the South Region. First up for the Bulldogs was Linn-Benton on Friday. Bellevue started the game well, getting out to an early lead that they were able to hold on to throughout the first half, and went into the intermission up nine points, 32-23. In the second half, the Bulldogs extended the gap and closed out the first-round game with a 54-35 win. Tayler Flemming led all scorers for the Bulldogs with 12, followed by Demarea Caples with 11. On Saturday, Yakima Valley, a traditionally strong East Region team, was the next opponent for Bellevue, and the Bulldogs found themselves struggling in the first half. "We really struggled offensively, and when we do that, we start to play as individuals, gamble on defense and just try to do too much, which just digs the hole deeper," said Bellevue head coach Brent Hermanson. At the half, the Bulldogs trailed 22-33 on 29.6% shooting from the floor. In the second half, the Bulldogs came out firing and were able to improve their offensive output, scoring 41, but were unable to make up the entire deficit they dug in the first half, and found themselves on the short end of the final score 67-63. "You just have to be so perfect when you dig a hole against good teams, and they just have to be average," said Hermanson. A bright spot for the Bulldogs was the play of Chanel Cambronero who scored 18 points, followed by Kaitlynn Bunger with 12 points, and Brenna Anderson with 11. On Sunday, the Bulldogs came up against Spokane for the second time in the pre-season, having lost 63-58 to the Sasquatch at the Everett Tournament in mid-November. Once again Bellevue struggled to score offensively. "It's like a bad movie that is always on TV," said Hermanson. "We've lost four games now, and we lost them all the same way: the lack of offensive production in the first half." This time, the Bulldogs found themselves down at the half 31-14. "For our team to manage only 14 points against anyone is ridiculous," said Hermanson. In the second half, although the Bulldogs game out firing again, outscoring Spokane 45-34, it wasn't enough and Bellevue ended with a 59-65 loss. Cambronero again led the Bulldogs scoring with 25 points, and Caples added 11. Next up, Bellevue (5-4) hosts the Washington Athletic Club on Thursday, Dec. 20, at 7 p.m.

Ridgefield Republicans say Democrats' success can be pinned to Obama
RIDGEFIELD – A day after the first Korean-American was elected to the council and Democrats solidified their control of the governing body, Republicans said Wednesday their loss may be linked to high voter turnout for President Obama.
"We haven't had a chance to completely analyze the data in Ridgefield of how many voted for or supported President Obama. However, running against a Democrat at the top of the ticket is difficult," said GOP Councilman Warren Vincentz, who ran unsuccessfully to maintain his council seat. "If you don't have a strong Republican candidate at the top of the ticket, it's difficult to win as a Republican at a local level, especially in a town that is comprised mostly of Democratic voters, which Ridgefield is."
Vincentz, and his running mate, Republican incumbent Angus Todd, lost to their challengers Ray Penabad and Dennis Shim, who received 1,794 and 1,685 votes, respectively, according to unofficial results. Those figures do not include 72 provisional ballots and an unknown number of absentee ballots. Those totals won't be available until Friday, but they are not expected to change the results, as Vincentz and Todd garnered 1,532 and 1,496 votes, respectively, Todd said.
Shim, the father of two who has lived in town for 13 years, said he's very excited to become a councilman. Among his priorities is to reach out to Koreans in town and let them know about local government, and events and issues affecting the borough.
"I want to work for the entire Ridgefield community, but I would like to work as an intermediary to the Korean community so they know what is going on in town," he said.
Shim, who owns a commercial real estate corporation, said he looked forward to discussing with the mayor and other council members ideas on how to bring more tax ratables to the borough. He said he would like to investigate whether an underused industrial zone near Overpeck Creek could be redeveloped for commercial and business use.
Shim has served on the borough's Planning Board and the Ridgefield Recreation Commission.
Russell Castelli, the council president, said he was proud that voters elected a Korean-American to the ruling body, and said he hoped it would spur Korean residents to become more active in local events and organizations.
"It's very thrilling, and hopefully this will get the town together even more," he said.
Shim and Penabad's win means that come January, the 3-3 split on the council will become 5-1 favoring Democrats. Mayor Anthony Suarez, who votes when there is a tie, is a Democrat. Councilman Angelo Severino will be the lone Republican on the council, but last year he split from the Ridgefield Republican Organization. Since then, he has been voting with Democrats on many major issues.

Lack Of Caring Brings Outrage Over Dragging Death Of Horse
A horse was DRAGGED to death from its trailer for TWO and a half miles.
Cops say it was an accident, and that the horse died 'instantly', and closed the case. But it is almost impossible for a horse to die instantly.
Apparently people could hear it scream. There were THREE women in the truck, how could they not notice?!
It's just pure negligence, or stupidity, or... GRRR!
It makes me so mad people in the world own such great creatures, whether it be birds, horses, or anything!
I feel so bad for that poor horse. I'm glad he's no longer in any pain
OUTRAGED! [graphic topic]

Subreddit Logo Contest (self.BGSU)
submitted 1 year ago by SheriffCahill
As we can all see, the logo for this subreddit is pretty lame. So, I thought the best way to change it is to have a logo contest. Anyone can create a logo and submit it. Hopefully some of you will see this and think of someone that might want to show off their art skills which should increase the size of the subreddit at least by a little. You can send your logos to email@example.com. The end date of the contest is not determined yet, we'll just see how it goes depending if anyone even submits a logo. Good luck!

Phil Jackson toys with our thoughts, says he has "no intention of ever coaching again"
To come back or not to come back. I'm not really sure Phil even knows at this point |
Although it was widely reported that Phil Jackson was the Brooklyn Nets' number one choice to replace the fired Avery Johnson as head coach -- and believed that interest was mutual -- it looks like the idea of P-Jax coming back is just a pipe dream at this point. The former Bulls and Lakers coach has somewhat cryptically announced that he currently has "no intention of ever coaching again."
First off: What?
This is the same guy that recently said he would listen to the Nets if they had called him about the open position. Of course, it would make a little more sense if it was just Phil wanting to yank the media's chain so to speak by very lightly denying interest just to put himself more out of the spotlight with regards to a potential NBA return.
Essentially, it appears that Jackson gave all of us a classic "not saying anything by saying something" statement. By saying he has no intention of coaching again, he leaves the door open that he could get back into coaching by regaining that intention at some point down the road. At least that is how I interpretted it.
It is also possible that he really does not want to make a NBA return and will never recover that so-called "coaching bug" that so many in his profession face after they have taken a few years off from their life's work.
Regardless of how they view the diction of his words, the Nets should start to consider a back-up option for a coach replacement this offseason or even possibly pencil in interim P.J. Carlesimo for the long run.
Mikhail Prokhorov, the multi-billionaire Russian owner of the Nets, has made it clear that Jackson is at the top of his list to bring into the organization. However, if Prokhorov does not want his team to be stuck without a coach at all, he seriously should tell GM Billy King to start looking at other candidates -- a situation that ironically mirrors the dilemma they faced when courting Dwight Howard this offseason while simultaneously trading for Joe Johnson as a Plan B of sorts.
Certainly, a Plan B coach would be better than no coach (or an undesirable one at that) if Phil does not want to get back into the game.
With that said, not accounting for what you took Jackson's statement to mean, money is a very convincing force in professional sports and with Prokhorov's endless reserves of it and his penchant to "spend whatever it takes", do not count out Jackson completely for the job.
Maybe he really does love retirement as much as he says he does, but a basically blank check with his name on it would be wonders in persuading him to give it another go with a basically new franchise that is on the way up. Simply put, if it's a problem that could be solved with money, I would put my faith in Mikhail Prokhorov that a solution could be easily reached.
A Russian engaging in capitalism, interesting.

What have you done with your tractor?
After posting pics of my new tractor I got comments on my place so I thought I'd start a thread on what owners do with their tractors and dozers too. Did you build a pond, move trees, clear land? I'd love to see it and I'll bet most people here would also.
Here's my 'work in progress':
I build fruit orchards and am clearing land that was 95% thorn trees and scrub but good soil and drainage. Now the grass is just starting to come up in those areas that are just cleared earth in the pics. I have about 20 to 30 fruit trees so far in my other orchards, apples, pears and berry bushes. I have an 8 acre field we use for hay and the front 4 acres has horses and assorted other animals on it that belong to my friend.
The small pond is about 1/3 to 1/2 acre (12 feet deep) and has rainbow and brook trout in it from Soil and Water. There's whirling disease up here so you have to be careful what goes into your water. you need the depth to keep the fish safe when it gets hot or cold although I have several springs feeding the pond that keep it cool in the summer. I don't stock bass as they eat the frogs and newts. Between the trout, frogs and swallows there are no mosquito problems but some of the clearing helped with that too. Also we do only organic gardens which we feel helps with the natural balance of nature.
Re: What have you done with your tractor?
I make and maintain trails through my timber land but most recently I used it to help finish the pool we put in. We put a new pool where our old one was and had to lower the bottom four inches because the new wall is 52 inches. It made quick work of this hard Alabama clay.

Re: What have you done with your tractor?
Which came first, the tractor or the farm? Hmmm.... Put another way, the tractor would not exist if you didn't have the farm either!!
Looks like you have found a hundred and one uses for your 'bota! I've used my 790 mainly for bushhogging around my parents place, and at my hunt club, and also to scrape the roads at the club and help put in our food plots there. There's a number of other smaller jobs I do with it just too many to remember all and list them here. We don't have snow here to speak of so that's definitely not one of them LOL.Nothing could be finer than riding my JD790 in South Carolina!!

Graded the driveway and the neighborhood road, tilled the garden, mowed a LOT of thick brush, hauled logs, leveled land, dug post holes, maintained my trails in the woods, maintained my campsite in the woods, graded a horse arena, spread manure and topsoil, plowed snow, and some mowing jobs for neighbors, friends, and family. All without a FEL!

Re: What have you done with your tractor?
Like pitt_md, our property would not be very enjoyable without the tractor. We don't farm anything or raise animals. I try to promote wildlife habitats of different kinds but mostly have created a lot of 'edge' habitat and working on new growth habitat areas that will get bush hogged every 3-4 years.
We have several miles worth of walking trails that I could never keep open without the tractor.
These are things I've done:
Clear snow with FEL, have a rear snowblower now waiting for winter.
Haul firewood in the FEL bucket.
Maintain drive/spread gravel with FEL bucket.
Mow the open areas and trails with bush hog.
Clear old field areas with FEL bucket and PTO chipper.
Drag away trees to a brush pile using 3pt lift boom.
'Re-arrange' rocks that are in the way.
Use the FEL bucket like a big wheelbarrow for picking stones.
Stir the compost pile with the FEL bucket.
Backhoe stuff:
Couple of french drains and utility trenches.
Improve rough areas in trails by digging up dirt to spread.
Dug a couple very small wildlife water holes.
Dig drainage trenches along trails through wet areas.
Dig up rocks sticking up to high.
Dig up old tree stumps.
Used the tractor when we built for backfill, foundation stone, leveling, carrying, etc.

Topic: Math
Given the equation 2y^2 - 8x - 16y - 16 = 0 determine:
a) The Vertex V
b) If the parabola opens up, down, left, right
c) The Focus F
1 Answer | add yours
The standard form of the equation of a parabola with vertex at (h, k) is given by:
`(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)` (where the axis is vertical) ---- (i)
and `(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)` (where the axis is horizontal) --- (ii)
Given equation is `2y^2 - 8x - 16y - 16 = 0`
`rArr 2(y^2-8y-4x-8)=0`
`rArr y^2-8y-4x-8=0`
`rArr (y^2-2*4*y+16)-4x-8-16=0`
`rArr (y-4)^2=4x+24`
`rArr (y-4)^2=4(x+6)`
This can also be written as:
`rArr (y-4)^2=4*1*(x+6)`
a) Comparison with the standard form of equation (ii) reveals that it is a parabola with horizontal axis and having its vertex V at (-6, 4).
b) As its axis is horizontal, it can either open left or open right. Since p=1 (i.e. p>0), it should open towards right.
c) The coordinates of the focus F of a parabola, having vertical axis is given by ( h+p, k).
Thus, the coordinates of the focus F = (-6+1, 4), i.e (-5, 4). It is in fact one unit to the right of the vertex.

Defense Inventory:
Army Needs to Evaluate Impact of Recent Actions to Improve Demand Forecasts for Spare Parts
GAO-09-199: Published: Jan 12, 2009. Publicly Released: Jan 12, 2009.

Since 1990, GAO has designated the Department of Defense's (DOD) inventory management as a high-risk area. It is critical that the military services effectively and efficiently manage DOD's secondary inventory to ensure that the warfighter is supplied with the right items at the right time and to maintain good stewardship over the billions of dollars invested in their inventory. GAO reviewed the Army's management of secondary inventory and determined (1) the extent to which on-hand and on-order secondary inventory reflected the amount needed to support current requirements and (2) causes for the Army having secondary inventory that exceeded current requirements or, conversely, for having inventory deficits. To address these objectives, GAO analyzed Army data on secondary inventory (spare parts such as aircraft and tank engines) from fiscal years 2004 through 2007.
For the 4-year period GAO examined, the Army had significantly more inventory than was needed to support current requirements. At the same time, the Army had substantial inventory deficits. GAO's analysis of Army data reflected an annual average of about $16.3 billion of secondary inventory for fiscal years 2004 to 2007, of which about $3.6 billion (22 percent) exceeded current requirements. On average, approximately 97 percent of the inventory value exceeding requirements was on hand and the remaining 3 percent was on order. Based on Army demand forecasts, inventory that exceeded current requirements had enough parts on hand for some items to satisfy several years, or even decades, of anticipated supply needs. Also, a large proportion of items that exceeded current requirements had no projected demand. The Army also had an annual average of about $3.5 billion of inventory deficits over this 4-year period. Army inventory did not align with current requirements over this period because of (1) a lack of cost-efficiency metrics and goals and (2) inaccurate demand forecasting. DOD's supply chain management regulation requires the military services to take a number of steps to provide for effective and efficient end-to-end materiel support. For example, the regulation directs the components to size secondary inventory to minimize DOD's investment while providing the inventory needed. Although the Army has supply support performance measures for meeting warfighter needs, it has not established metrics and goals that can measure the cost efficiency of its inventory management practices. Furthermore, the Army's demand forecasts have frequently been inaccurate. The Army uses a computer model to forecast its spare parts requirements, but when demand data are inaccurate or untimely, the result is a misalignment between inventory and current requirements. As a result, the Army has accumulated billions of dollars in excess inventory against current requirements for some items and substantial inventory deficits in other items. Without accurate and timely demand data, managers cannot ensure that their purchasing decisions will result in inventory levels that are sized to minimize DOD's investment needed to support requirements. The Army has acknowledged that challenges exist in its forecasting procedures and has begun to take steps to address shortcomings. In October 2008, the Army issued guidance directing managers to reduce the forecast period from 24 months to 12 months to better account for changes in the size of the force and the resulting changes in demands. The guidance also directs managers to update forecast models to match actual quantities of weapon systems being used in Southwest Asia; previous models were updated based on estimates that were not always timely or accurate. These two changes constitute steps toward improving the accuracy of demand forecasts, but GAO was unable to assess their effectiveness because this guidance was issued as GAO was completing its audit work. Also, the Army's recent designation of the Under Secretary of the Army as its chief management officer responsible for business transformation provides an opportunity for enhanced oversight of inventory management improvement efforts. Strengthening the Army's inventory management--while maintaining high levels of supply availability and meeting warfighter needs--could reduce support costs and free up funds for other needs.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: To improve the management of the Army's secondary inventory, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Army to monitor the effectiveness of providing item managers with operational information in a timely manner so they can adjust modeled requirements as necessary.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: To satisfy this recommendation, the Army Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Logistics issues a formal memorandum annually that provides planning guidance for spare part requirements each fiscal year. This guidance directs adjustments to demand forecasts as applicable (e.g., due to the operational draw downs) and provides links to equipment density and operation tempo information that impacts demand forecasts. For example, the fiscal year 2012 guidance directs item managers to plan for a 40 percent reduction in the Central Command theater of operations compared to fiscal year 2011. This guidance also directs item managers to specific classified sources on global operations that should influence their demand plans. Additionally, Army item managers are integrated with their respective weapon system program management offices, which allows them to factor in system-unique planning factors as needed. Lastly, the Army established a War on Excess against excess inventory, which includes regular reviews of excess inventory by senior management at U.S. Army Materiel Command. The War on Excess includes a review of projected demand against actual demands to determine any necessary changes based on outcomes. Additionally, as part of the War on Excess senior management monitors the reductions of on-order excess inventory to ensure that inventory that is being purchased meets established requirements. For the Army this measure has fallen from approximately $840 million (or 12.6 percent of the total on-order inventory) in September 2009 to approximately $230 million (or 6.2 percent of the total on-order inventory) as of September 2011. As a result of these actions, the Army provides item managers up-to-date operational information so that modeled requirements can be altered as necessary and inventory that is excess to requirements is not procured. Furthermore, the Army monitors the effectiveness of these actions through monitoring its inventory management outcomes.
Recommendation: To improve the management of the Army's secondary inventory, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Army to evaluate the effectiveness of changes to demand forecasting procedures that were set forth in the Army's October 2008 guidance, including measuring the impact on reducing inventory that exceeds requirements, and based on that evaluation, take additional actions as appropriate to identify and correct systemic weaknesses in forecasting procedures.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Army established a "War on Excess" initiative against excess inventory, which includes regular reviews of excess inventory by senior management at U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC). The War on Excess includes a review of projected demand against actual demands to determine any necessary changes. Each fiscal year the Army issues planning guidance to inform demand forecasting based on past experiences and future operational tempo. Additionally, as part of the War on Excess senior management monitors the reductions of on-order excess inventory to ensure that inventory that is being purchased meets established requirements. For the Army this measure has fallen from approximately $840 million (or 12.6 percent of the total on-order inventory) in September 2009 to approximately $230 million (or 6.2 percent of the total on-order inventory) as of September 2011. Additionally, as part of the AMC effort to continue to improve demand forecasting, a forecast improvement workgroup was chartered in January 2012 to consolidate and implement multiple forecast improvement efforts, such as implementation of the Demand Data Exchange between the Army and the Defense Logistics Agency. As a result of these actions, the Army has addressed the intent of the recommendation by monitoring demand forecasting, reducing on-order excess inventory, and taking steps to improve demand forecasting.
Recommendation: To improve the management of the Army's secondary inventory, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Army to establish metrics and goals for tracking and assessing the cost efficiency of inventory management and incorporate these into existing management and oversight processes.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Open
Comments: The Army is in the process of developing metrics to evaluate their inventory. We will continue to monitor these metrics.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Army should direct the Army's Chief Management Officer to exercise oversight of Army inventory management improvements to align improvement efforts with overall business transformation and to reduce support costs. This oversight role should not replace or eliminate existing operational oversight responsibilities for inventory management that are exercised by other Army offices, but should ensure that the Army maintains a long-term focus for making systemic improvements where needed and for strategically aligning such changes with overall transformation efforts.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense: Department of the Army
Status: Open
Comments: The Army and the Department of Defense did not concur with this recommendation.

The dismissal of two employees at the state hospital, essentially for inappropriate behavior at work, illustrates a point that too many people forget: the e-mail account you use at work doesn't belong to you.
It's an old story, but with a new twist. In 2007, nearly two-thirds of the employees at Alta Vista Regional Hospital voted to unionize, with District 1199 of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees representing their interests at the bargaining table. But Alta Vista's parent company, Community Health Systems, has refused to sit down with the union, and raised legal objections at every turn in an attempt to usurp the election results.
Last week, members of the Luna Community College Board of Trustees expressed their displeasure with the decline in student enrollment, which plunged 7.3 percent within a year's time.
But if you look at the last few years, the number has been going up and down.
When the number drops, that means less dollars from the state. Northeastern New Mexico is lightly populated, so there will come a point where we shouldn't expect Luna's numbers to rise anymore.
Isn't home where you hang your hat? We thought so, but politicos often seem to struggle with this question.
Last week, we reported on Manuel Lucero, the treasurer for the campaign of Tony Valdez, who ran successfully for a seat on the Luna Community College Board of Trustees.
It is my belief that the Las Vegas City Council voted appropriately in their decision to not make Grand Avenue two lane for a five-block distance. Grand Avenue is an inter-city highway. It serves as a business loop through Las Vegas. It also serves as a route for emergency vehicles to traverse the city as well as to quickly exit to emergency situations on Interstate 25.
As a former member of the Las Vegas Community Water Board, I am thrilled that the city and the Storrie Project Water Users Association are ending their litigation.
It is disappointing, to say the least, that the city lost $1 million in state funds which were intended for the project to pipe water to the Storrie users, due to city officials trying to change the original intent.
I trust the city will actively pursue settlement with the Acequias Association, who in my opinion, have legitimate concerns regarding their share of water from the Gallinas River.
Anyone who pays attention to the Legislature has had this experience: Differing versions of a bill pass the House and Senate; the bills go to a conference committee; the bill that comes out is substantially different from the two that went in.
What happened? Hard to tell.
Why? Because New Mexico is among a handful of states that close conference committee meetings to the public.
So what? Depends on whether you want government to conduct business in the open or behind closed doors.
On the recent scandal at the Mora schools, I'm wondering if someone can enlighten me.
I took a course at U.W. with one of the best law instructors from the law school at the University of Wyoming. The instructor always said that the name of juvenile offenders cannot be revealed. It was a course on Juvenile Justice. So the laws regarding juveniles differ from state to state?
If anyone questions the course I've taken such as the case with my courses at the police academy, feel free to check my transcripts.

This hire has the makings of bringing Hilton Magic back! I too am worried about his coaching experience, but he's no arm-chair point guard (you like that), the guy could play the game and is plenty knowledgable to coach, the experience is what he lacks, but if he surrounds himself with the right guys, he could be fine. I'M ON BOARD!!! Happy to be a Cyclone!!

If you can manage in the NBA, I imagine you have the aptitude to be a college coach. Direct experience is nice, but this guy has been to the top and must have all sorts of connections. I bet those connections can help with recruiting. I bet he has been in enough meetings to understand the x and o's. Welcome home Freddy! The last three days could not have been ******-ed any better!

He couldnt beat Iowa and when you are ISU and its wrestling success it is only measured in national titles and beating iowa!

I have always been fascinated by the folklore attending the too-short life of Robert Johnson, "King of the Delta Blues Singers." For me, he was another doomed genius like James Dean, John Keats and Hank Williams — men who flashed across the night sky like the momentary radiance of a shooting star and then they were gone forever.

Monopoly fans vote to add cat, toss iron tokens
PAWTUCKET, R.I. — Scottie dog has a new nemesis in Monopoly after fans voted in an online contest to add a cat token to the property trading game, replacing the iron, toy maker Hasbro Inc. announced Wednesday.
The results were announced after the shoe, wheelbarrow and iron were neck and neck for elimination in the final hours of voting that sparked passionate efforts by fans to save their favorite tokens, and by businesses eager to capitalize on publicity surrounding pieces that represent their products.
The vote on Facebook closed just before midnight on Tuesday, marking the first time that fans have had a say on which of the eight tokens to add and which one to toss. The pieces identify the players and have changed quite a lot since Parker Brothers bought the game from its original designer in 1935.
Rhode Island-based Hasbro announced the new piece Wednesday morning.
Other pieces that contested for a spot on Monopoly included a robot, diamond ring, helicopter and guitar.
"We put five new tokens out for our fans to vote on and there were a lot of fans of the many different tokens, but I think there were a lot of cat lovers in the world that reached out and voted for the cat to be the new token for Monopoly," said Jonathan Berkowitz, vice president for Hasbro gaming marketing.
The Scottie Dog was the most popular of the classic tokens, and received 29 percent of the vote, the company said. The iron got the fewest votes and was kicked to the curb.
The cat, which has no name, received 31 percent of votes for new tokens.
The results were not entirely surprising to animal lovers.
The Humane Society of the United States says on its website that there were more than 86 million cats living in U.S. homes, with 33 percent of households owning at least one feline in August 2011. Worldwide, there were an estimated 272 million cats in 194 countries in June 2008, according to London-based World Society for the Protection of Animals.

About EIWAS 2005
The second edition of EIWAS continued in the spirit set by the first edition and its predecessors, the German and Belgian-Dutch workshops on AOSD: EIWAS provided European AOSD researchers and practitioners with an interactive forum for fostering novel ideas and turning submitted material into conference-ready papers. The central event of EIWAS 2005 was the highly interactive "writer's workshop" sessions where participants discussed presented papers and provided feedback to authors to help improve the presentation of the work. A poster session allowed for direct discussion of novel ideas with other participants.
Unfortunately, no post-workshop proceedings or workshop report are available for EIWAS. The program with all the papers that were discussed is however available below.

Its position as an important hub in Europe made Brussels an excellent location for organizing EIWAS: it is easy to reach for European travellers by both train and aeroplane and has numerous interesting sites for those wishing to extend their stay beyond the workshop. The pictures at the top of this page show two famous sights in Brussels: the market place and the Atomium. Also shown is the location where the workshop itself was held: the campus of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
