None of the panelists on the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" show stood out in the conference championship round, but despite stumbling last week, PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush continues to hold a slim lead in the season-to-date standings with a 134-114 record against the spread. Former Bears WR Tom Waddle is one game behind with one game to go, and the two panelists are on opposite sides of the Super Bowl XLVI matchup. Waddle owns the best postseason record of the three, having gone 7-3 against the spread, followed by Hampton at 6-4 and Arkush at 4-6.
Hampton was the only panelist to hit on his lock of the week, and he finishes the locks contest with a sizable edge over the other two, having posted a 14-4-2 record in that category.
No Thursday games have been included this season. Pushes have been dropped from each panelist's record, except for locks.

Libertarian Walters Only Partisan Candidate in Race for SC State House
Posted on Oct 30, 2012
Libertarian Jeremy Walters of Fort Mill, South Carolina is the only partisan candidate on the ballot for State House District 26 due to a ruling by the state's Supreme Court last May that knocked nearly 200 candidates across the state off the ballot, including the other four Libertarians running for the State House and his Republican opponent Raye Felder.
Felder will appear on the ballot because she re-filed as an independent and collected the required signatures to qualify.
The court's ruling was based on the candidates' failure to file an ethics form by the legal deadline in both hardcopy and electronic form. The decision was upheld despite appeals by both Democrats and Republicans who argued that communications from the state about the filing requirement were ambiguous.
"I plan to get rid of old laws that don't work," says Walters. "A vote for Jeremy Walters is a vote to end the state income tax, legalize business and protect your property rights."
Walters initially announced he would run on the Republican ticket. After GOP leadership discouraged him from running, he sought the LP nomination instead which he won unanimously after delivering a passionate speech at the party's state convention in April.
A businessman and carpenter, Walters became an advocate for child custody rights after the family court system denied him joint custody of his son. He successfully championed and lobbied for a custody bill which has passed in the state senate. His efforts and enthusiasm prompted State Senator John Knotts to call Walters a "pit bull" and the right man for the job.
"This is the Libertarians' most winnable State House seat in the country," says Stewart Flood, Chair of the Campaign Coordination Committee for South Carolina's Libertarian party, although he notes Republican efforts to back their candidate may be significant.
Jeremy Walters is campaigning hard, staking yard signs at the entrance to residential subdivisions, attending homeowners' association meetings, and going door-to-door. He gave well-received speeches at Libertarian rallies in Charleston and York County.
WRHI news talk and other radio and print media have covered Walters' campaign. The Fort Mill Times hosted a debate between Walters and Felder on October 24 at the Nation Ford High School where the candidates took questions from a virtual audience, with Facebook and Twitter accounts plugged into the live-stream event.

LaCie's new RuggedKey USB drive is now available. This flash drive is designed to protect data from nearly any threat, including heat, cold, and drops. Thanks to its orange bumper, the RuggedKey can withstand heat, cold, and 100-meter drops. The drive is also IP-54 certified to resist damage from dust and water. The RuggedKey supports USB 3.0 speeds up to 150MB/s. The drive also works with Wuala Secure Cloud Storage so your data will be accessible via the cloud as well as on the drive itself. The LaCie RuggedKey comes in 16GB and 32GB capacities with a starting price of $39.95.
LaCie RuggedKey – Key for a Rugged Lifestyle
August 2, 2012 - Today LaCie announced availability of the RuggedKey, the perfect solution to protect data from life's stumbles. The RuggedKey is the latest addition to LaCie's award-winning line of Rugged drives designed by Neil Poulton. From inclement weather to unauthorized access, the RuggedKey protects data from any threat.
The iconic orange bumper is back, this time to protect a USB key from heat, cold, and 100-meter drops. The RuggedKey is a great accessory for an adventure photographer who needs a way to keep his photos protected and accessible while on the road. If the key is dropped off of a cliff or stepped on during a hike – no problem! His files are still intact. Furthermore, it's IP-54 certified to resist damage from dust and water making it the best device for on-the-go data protection.
USB 3.0 continues to proliferate as the industry adopts the technology. The RuggedKey, with USB 3.0 speeds up to 150MB/s, is excellent for transferring files. Users can transfer an HD movie, 3,000 photos or a 5GB file in less than one minute. It is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0, making the key a fast and convenient device.
Wuala Secure Cloud Storage makes data on the RuggedKey easily accessible without compromising security. Wuala lets users keep one copy of data on the key and one in the cloud. That way, if a user forgets the key at the office, they can still access the files via the cloud. And for the ultimate in security, AES 256-bit encryption prevents unauthorized file access to the key with password protection.
The LaCie RuggedKey comes in 16GB and 32GB capacities and will be available at Apple® Retail and through LaCie Online Store and LaCie Resellers starting at the suggested retail price of $39.95 (VAT included).

That price is just amazing.
Yeah I have a Microcenter USB3 key that's 32GB not only that but is very useful to carry a tool kit and for backups when necessary (which is why I got it initially) of course it is Microcenter housebrand unit so I imagine it is AData or something but it works 100% for almost a year now. Oh yeah its not waterproof etc but it was also cheaper by a few dollars to.
Cannot really see them making a drive of this caliber in a smaller size like 4GB or 8GB, but having a reliable and rugged drive like this is certainly worth the extra bucks.
K i know its supposed to be practical, but the design already looks grenade-ish, seriously they should just make it circular add a pull pin and make this thing legit.
It can survive a one hundred foot fall but when your in a sticky situation and you need a high grade explosive wouldn't you at least feel better you can pretend you do?
This sounds great but I can't think of many situations where you actually need the USB itself to survive such extreme conditions. A simple plastic case with insulation would suffice in most situations.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Quarterback Aaron Murray is spending extra practice time with players promoted from the scout team as No. 7 Georgia tries to compensate for injuries that have forced dramatic changes at wide receiver and tailback.
Last week's 34-31 overtime win at Tennessee was costly.
Tailback Keith Marshall and wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley were lost for the season with knee injuries. Another receiver, Michael Bennett, also hurt his knee and had arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday. Bennett won't play in Saturday's game against No. 25 Missouri.
Coach Mark Richt says tailback Todd Gurley is doubtful to play this week. Gurley is not practicing Tuesday after missing the Tennessee game with an ankle sprain.
Murray says he's working with such freshmen as receiver Reggie Davis and tailbacks J.J. Green and Brendan Douglas.

What a challenge to chose one kit to feature.... Yeh, I know you can mix kits, but I prefer to use one most of the time.
2 of my daughters were belly dancers for several years... so when I saw Oriental Dreams by Stefairy, I knew it would be a kit I would use many times. This is my youngest daughter in my favorite photo of her in her costume. It was taken in Cario, Egypt while she was posing for a famous Egyptian artist - MonsourA - so he could sketch her. I was taking art classes from him so that is how this all came to be. We lived there for 3 of the most interesting and challenging years of our lives.
~Holli~ Mommy of two special angels
What a super layout! And thank you for participating!
I will keep that in mind (mmm... didn't I learn that in the fist lesson??), thank you for resizing!
I'm glad you like it ;-)

Music Performance, Music Theory, Piano, Viola, Violin
Violist Maria F. V. began her music studies at the Carabobo Music Conservatory where she played in the Infantile & Youth Orchestras, and in the Carabobo Symphony Orchestra. She then transcended her studies to the Simon Bolivar Music Conservatory and into the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela. She has performed with different other orchestras such Venezuela Youth National Orchestra, New Jersey Youth Orchestra, Peru National Orchestra, Gustav Mahler Symphony Orchestra, and Latin-American Symphony Orchestra. She has worked with conductors such as Eduardo Salazar, Joshua Dos Santos, Gustavo Dudamel, Sir Simon Rattle and Claudio Abbado.
She holds a BM Performance degree from University of Kentucky, and a MM Performance degree from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro where she worked as Teacher Assistant under Scott Rawls. She has attended several music festivals within the United States and Internationally such as: Cincinnati Conservatory Music Festival, Cleveland Institute of Music Viola Workshop, Brevard Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Orford Music Center in Canada, Parma Conservatory-Italy, Musica en Compostela in Spain, and many others. Back at home in Venezuela she is considered founder of el Sistema�s Carabobo Music Conservatory. Her Major teachers include Santiago Garmendia, Margaret Karp, John Graham, and Scott Rawls.
As a performer, soloist and active chamber musician, and as a pedagogue, I provide private lessons to any individual interested in the art of music, education, and the good times. My teaching welcomes individuals from the youngest to college students. My primary instrument is the Viola, and simultaneously I focus on the instruction of the Violin, and the early and beginning studies of the piano. I have great experience as master class teacher, sectional leader, group teaching, and individual or one-in-one pioneer.
Apart from the academic outcomes the student will obtain at lessons, my intentions as a teacher and artist is to incorporate and welcome the student in the fantastic music world and literature. One of the many purposes of music is the idea of the student developing a sense of responsibility along with following tasks in a didactic and dynamic manner. I love bringing and promoting the idea and the philosophy of enthusing and inculcating a leadership position of the student in the family, and building most importantly a harmonic and artistic environment among their relatives and into their homes. I love to program and propose little student recitals in where the student will have the opportunity in performing the pieces worked throughout the teaching sessions in a little concert for their friends and family. Every student loves the fun in which they get from these opportunities and from their performance experiences. I do believe that the learning and instruction of music is an important influential factor in participating and in the development of many other abilities and skills; in the expansion and promotion of creativity, the adoption of a more discipline attitude for other arts, it helps to easier approach other academic courses, and to focus on developing the tools and creativity to participate at their schools and anywhere else.
*** Lesson Details ***
About the teaching methods used, I basically like to approach the beginner student through the methods of Suzuki, which is a very efficient and didactic method most pedagogues uses today. This one is a clear method that demands from the student and it simultaneous engages the interaction and participation of their parents, family, friends, and their community as well. In other occasions, it is most common that I would also incorporate a new student to my studio-transfer students-, who would have used other materials and methods with his/her previous instructor. In this case I would continue using his/her methods to examine the level and content learned and practiced. Then, it is in later lessons where we might establish and suggest other good methods and books to which the student might be ready to switch or scale up to.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Books, Stands, Metronomes, Chairs, Tuning & repair equipment, and more.
*** Specialties ***
Viola, Violin. Chamber, private, solo, & orchestra.
Drum, Percussion
I have 20 years playing and teaching experience. I have played in several ensembles ranging from Jazz to Metal. My focus in teaching is to bring out not just the drummer, but the complete musician residing within my students. My lessons go beyond technique and repetition, and really focus on developing a complete musical sense on the drum set. Along with drum set I also teach general percussion (snare and glockenspiel) and music theory.
I have spent most of my playing and teaching career trying to learn as many percussive styles as possible. I have found that with each new rhythmic discovery my personal drumming style ebbs and flows, and through these experiences, my style has been refined. This excitement for drumming and rhythm is what I hope to inspire in my students; so lets start building the foundations of musical excellence!
*** Lesson Details ***
Each lesson is customized to the wants and needs of the individual student. There is a basic level of drumming competency that all students will be required to reach before moving on to a more customized lesson plan; however, even beginner students lessons will be taught to their learning abilities. The ultimate goal is to teach what the student wants to learn, along with imparting the drumming and musical skills to accomplish any and all goals.
Materials: I use the Breeze Easy method books to introduce note reading and basic music theory. I also use The Art of Bop Drumming and Afro-Cuban Rhythms for Drum Set for intermediate drum set students.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Drum set
Music stand
Practice pad
Hand percussion
*** Travel Equipment ***
While I will bring basic equipment (i.e. practice pad, stick bag, metronome) to lessons, students will be required to obtain basic equipment to use for practice. A practice folder will be used to keep track of handouts, worksheets, and practice charts used throughout the lessons. The folder and handouts will be provided by me at no additional charge to the student.
*** Specialties ***
My specialty is jazz drumming. However, I teach most styles, incorporating the more melodic approach of jazz drumming to help the student understand what is happening musically. This way the student has a melodic reference to the rhythm they choose to play behind any given melody.
Music Performance, Music Theory, Piano, Songwriting
I'm an extremely passionate and fun-loving musician wishing to utilize my unique set of skills in music composition, jazz piano, classical piano, non-jazz improvisation, ear training, and music theory to instruct my students in becoming well-rounded and expressive musicians.
I've performed extensively with UNC Jazz Combos as a pianist, along with other groups/bands around NC for gigs and fun. I've also performed at various venues as a singer/songwriter. In the Spring of 2012. I received the UNC-CH Department's "Thelma Thompson Composition Award" for my setting of Walt Whitman's poem, "Whispers of Heavenly Death" for Soprano and Piano.
*** Lesson Details ***
Each lesson would vary depending on the individual level of skill/wants/needs of each student. Accordingly, each lesson plan is very fluid, and will change as students progress.
Focuses could include: piano technique, ear training, scales, learning to swing (jazz), music theory, composing, song-writing, etc. In every lesson I will adhere to tried and true methods that have proven to develop great musicianship.
I consider myself different from other teachers as I focus more on creating a well-rounded musician. In my opinion, well-rounded musicians progress to professional levels much quicker than those stuck on one subject.
I'm very relaxed and laid back, and try my best to make lessons fun and inspiring. That being said, I do expect students to put in the time/hard work it takes to become great musicians.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Upright Piano, excellent condition. Casio PX-320, 88 key, fully weighted.
*** Travel Equipment ***
It is expected that students will provide their own piano or keyboard.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in both jazz and classical, and believe on training the ears and mind as extensively as the fingers. As such, I will offer to teach ear training and music theory to all of my students.
I'm an extremely proficient composer/songwriter who's written for chamber ensembles, jazz ensembles, vocal ensembles, vocal soloists, film, and the pop/rock medium. I can provide lessons in writing music for all ages and stages, from young to old/beginner to advanced.

Shooting Video: Manual or Automated Movie Modes Explained
There are 3 ways to shoot video on the GH3 (and GH2, G5, probably others). The first is iA which is the most automated, next is P-S-A-M, which is somewhat automated and third is Manual Movie Mode. The first 2 use the "red" button and the third uses the shutter release. We explore the ramifications of each, their likely uses and how to set up to use each one. There's a lot of information here and many interdependent settings, so this post is a bit long.
This is the third in a series of Video posts where Mark Toal, expert on the GH3 explains the many nuances of video on the GH3. Although each post stands on its own, the series is a complete look, in 4 stages, at the GH3′s video settings. In the first 2 we talked video concepts via a guided tour of the Motion Picture menu and discovered the differences/uses for the video recording modes (MP4-AVCHD-MOV). In the next (and last) of this marathon session we will investigate the settings for each mode which include frame rate, progressive vs interlaced and Mb/second transfer rates.
So, grab a beverage and snack, and your camera. Then start up the video and take in some great information!

Flawed Pool Survey
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 05 June 2013 22:23
- Written by Super User
The following is in part an email between the Mayor and myself concerning the Aquatic Center survey and Councils nonsensical moving ahead on building this pool before significant issues are cleared up. In the Mayors email to me of 5/29/13 he made comments of which follows: He states that this pool deal is still in the evaluation stages and goes on to say he is going to talk to a couple members of the community pool committee who are not 100% sold on the project to understand their concerns and would like them to come to Council to speak on this matter. He also states he is going to speak to the Senior center in the near future and Town Hall employees, going to ask the Island Gazette to run another survey, and ask the Council to survey the general public. And in another comment from him "unlike former Council representatives he is not going to move forward without data, public input and additional information". Well so much on the nonsense of saying he is not going to move ahead on the pool. The 5-0 vote to spend another $21,000 made on 5/14/13 plus the original $30,000 to start this effort totals $51,000+ toward this endeavor and only a none thinking narrow minded person could conclude that this deal is not being moved ahead - and at a fast pace at that - and debunks the nonsense of this deal not being moved ahead. I have previously sent your Mayor and Council additional information that should have already been looked at and questions answered before more money and progress to move this pool ahead took place.
Silence has now reared its head and tried to stop or upset the following flow of information: I have three analysis sheets concerning the pool survey results and one email that this Mayor and his Council have been notified that should have already been addressed to us on this pool issue. The contents are as follows: 516 folks are in favor of a pool 416 folks do not favor a pool and 21 are "maybe" or "undecided". If you add 516+416+21 this equals 953 total ballot results. The email I have from a committee member that in order to have an accurate survey they would need 1,056 votes which he states is "about" what they got. Now what is confusing and nonsense is the silence of Council members and this pool committees unwillingness to addressed "is if you subtract the analysis findings of 953 votes for and against from the "about" what a committee member states is about what they got, you are left with 103 unaccounted for votes".
The question that now must and should have already been answered before the vote of spending another $21,000 at our May 14, 2013 Council meeting by a 5-0 vote is where are the 103 unaccounted votes/ballots and what are their results and why is the moving ahead with this deal taking place with vital to the process unanswered questions on the horizon. Our Council members who are the sponsors of this pool committee and this survey apparently view silence as answers and prefer to use silence as answers. I asked the chairman of the pool committee to send his findings about the unaccounted 103 votes to the readers of the Gazette, his committee and Council all of which apparently has not been done as of this letter sent to the editor on 5/30/13. Council also has two members of their Council on this committee and at least one does not have this answer.
On a different concern/note please do not think I have abandoned my quest to have all funding removed from C.B.s budget that allows this Council to have free Health and Dental insurance that cost us taxpayers $457.27 per month for each member participating + a 7.9 % increase in these premiums beginning July1st. This taxpayer paid Insurance given to themselves by themselves is nonsense and a drain on our pocketbooks. This issue is fully out of the box and still alive as I intend to speak to Council again at their June 11th Council meeting in public discussion on this subject. I may and others may need to speak a third and forth time or longer until results are obtained and this crowd starts paying for their own insurance or are voted out of office. Have a good evening.

Yards-per-carry is one of the most misleading statistics in football. As a statistic that records the average, YPC doesn't account for how runs are distributed. Because of that, it's very susceptible to fluctuation due to outliers.
If the Cowboys were to record a single run of 80 yards, for example, their YPC would shoot from 4.10 to 4.40. That would move them from below the league-average up into the top 10 in the NFL. Is that fair? Should one play—perhaps the result of a defender failing to tie his shoe or something else random—totally distort a stat?
That's why rushing success rate is a much more accurate way to judge team rushing strength. Rushing success rate is the percentage of plays on which a team increases their chances of scoring on a drive. A one-yard run on 1st-and-10 would be considered unsuccessful, for example, while a one-yard run on 4th-and-1 would be a success.
Since success rate isn't distorted by outliers—an 80-yard rush is just as successful as five-yard first down run—it's immune to wild fluctuations. And since we know big plays via the running game are relatively volatile, success rate is a more accurate way to analyze the running game.
I bring this up because I think the Cowboys use their running game in a way that's a little bit superior to what most people believe. This year, they rank 19th in YPC but 14th in success rate; 41.6 percent of their runs have increased their expected points.
Last year, the effect was even larger. Despite one of the "worst rushing offenses ever" according to YPC, they still ranked 17th in the NFL in success rate. That's not outstanding, but Dallas was far from 2012's worst rushing offense.
The reason that YPC can't be trusted, in addition to outliers, is that teams run the ball in different situations. Frequently, the "best" rushing teams in YPC are those that use the run in the wrong way. If you run the ball often in situations with high upside, such as 1st-and-10, you might maximize YPC but you won't be doing the same to your team's chances of scoring.
Meanwhile, a team that uses the running game more often in short-yardage situations—when it should be utilized—will naturally have a lower YPC. But are they really a worse rushing team?
Not at all. The Cowboys, for example, have converted 75.0 percent of their plays on 3rd and 4th-and-1 this year, thanks in large part to an underrated short-yardage rushing game. Meanwhile, the Bears have converted only half of their plays in those situations, ranking them fourth-worst in the NFL.
Any time we analyze a stat, we need to make sure it's standardized. We need to make sure we're looking at the same thing for each team.
When it comes to the running game, we aren't. Offenses that run the ball properly, using primarily the passing game in situations with high upside, should naturally have lower YPC. That doesn't make them a worse rushing team. It makes them intelligent.
So who is the better rushing team: the Cowboys or the Bears?
Well, Chicago ranks in the top 10 in YPC and has 1,318 rushing yards on the year. Dallas ranks well in the bottom half in YPC and 27th with 1,021 yards.
Pretty clear, right?
Not so fast. Once you account for game situations, you realize the Cowboys have been better than the Bears on the ground. Chicago has just a 36.4 percent rushing success rate, ranking them 28th in the NFL. As mentioned before, the 'Boys rank 14th.
In addition to a weaker-than-advertised running game, here are a couple other quick-hitting stats for the Bears heading into Week 14.
209: Yards lost by Bears on negative plays
One area of their offense the Bears have improved substantially is getting the ball out quickly in the passing game. Last year, Chicago gave up 44 sacks—eighth-most in the NFL. In 2011, they ranked fifth-worst with 49 sacks allowed.
But while everyone was blaming the offensive line, the truth is that much of the Bears' pass protection "problems" were due to Jay Cutler. He held onto the ball way too long for years. Quarterbacks are just as responsible for their protection as the line—perhaps more so. There's a reason that Peyton Manning has "one of the league's best lines" everywhere he goes; he makes them look good.
This year, the Bears have placed an emphasis on getting the ball out faster, and it's worked. They've allowed only 19 sacks—third-fewest in the league.
20.5: Percentage of Josh McCown's dropbacks that are play-action passes
Jay Cutler could be ready for Monday night, but it's more likely that McCown will get the nod for Chicago. Either way, the Bears will be utilizing play-action passes; together, Cutler and McCown have shown play-action on over 21.0 percent of dropbacks.
That's new for Chicago, and likely the result of Bears head coach Marc Trestman's emphasis on analytics.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys tried two play-action passes on Thanksgiving after having all kinds of success on 15 of them the week prior. Tony Romo has shown play-action on 12.2 percent of his dropbacks—one of the NFL's lowest rates.

Sapsis Rigging recently completed the installation of a fall arrest system for the Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC) located in downtown Philadelphia.
The system was put into the Grand Hall, a space that occupies the renovated Reading Terminal Trainshed, the oldest surviving single-span arched trainshed structure in the world, and the only one of its kind remaining in the United States. The hall is used for parties and events as well as a space for larger exhibitions.
"Originally it was not meant for events; it was an entrance lobby. It's a great space," comments Bob Lester, director of engineering for PCC. "People like the space so much that they hold events in there. The bigger shows use the space as well; the largest is the autoshow, and since there is not a lot of lighting in there, they bring in their own. That is why this project was needed because people are up there doing a lot of rigging to get those lights hung."
Mike Yocum, project manager for Sapsis Rigging was in charge of the installation. "We designed it and manufactured it ourselves at Sapsis," says Yocum. "We installed a fall arrest system for 44 purlins and five main arches" says Allison Helms, safety coordinator for Sapsis Rigging. "This entailed 44 horizontal lifelines, eight self-retracting vertical lifelines, and five arched lifelines." The installation was completed in 11 days in March.
The biggest challenge of the project was working with the historic 120-year-old building itself, according to Yocum. "The original facility was started in 1886. Virtually every location on the steel where we put an anchor in for the lifelines is different in size or thickness," he explains. "In addition, there is the fact that when the whole building was restored some repairs were done to the steel, which increased the size of steel in some areas. Every place I went to install something was realistically an unknown. You had to presume it was going to be different."
"[Sapsis Rigging] did a good job; it was a difficult room to work with and they got it done fairly quickly. It is going to work for all of the people that have to work up in that area. I am happy with the results," concludes Lester.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on London Irish and matches between Wasps and Irish over the years.
The Exiles were no pushover however. Despite having edged a tough physical encounter against Saracens just 5 days ago, the Exiles were keen to prove their worth as third placed team in the Premiership and staged a gutsy fightback in the second half that forced Wasps to play with all their defensive guile to protect their lead and come back for the final, bonus point winning try in the last minute of the game.
The game started with both sides kicking for territory, and both also making errors that offered some juicy opportunities for the counter attack. Though the first quarter ended in parity, with two penalties a-piece for Mark Van Gisbergen and Ross Laidlaw, Wasps had squandered 2 good try scoring opportunities.
For the first, Dallaglio took a quick free kick inside his own 22, from where Wasps shipped the ball out to Paul Sackey. The elusive winger swerved his way into the last third before having the ball knocked out of his hand, but Wasps were able to rescue the possession and found themselves with an enormous overlap. Poor handling meant the opportunity was missed, but referee Tony Spreadbury had already awarded the penalty in front of the posts, which Van Gisbergen slotted over for 3-0.
The next opportunity came from Wasps best attack of the game to date. Jeremy Staunton made good use of first phase ball to put Voyce beautifully through the gap, but Wasps top try scorer possibly chose the wrong path to the try line, allowing full back Michael Horak to make the last ditch tackle and the Exiles to recover the ball.
The visitors were quick to make amends however, turning over the ball quickly to launch a counter attack and swinging the ball from one touch line to the other where Josh Lewsey ghosted through the defence for the first try of the match, touching down under the posts to ensure the full 7 points.
Joe Worsley followed up with Wasps' second shortly after, that could and should have killed off the match for the Premiership Champions. A line out to the back was won cleanly by John Hart, and McGeechan's men showed good patience in working the drive into the 22, from where Worsley broke through the splitting Exiles pack to stroll over, Van Gisbergen's extras stretching the lead to 20-6 on the half hour.
A good long-range penalty from Laidlaw shortly afterwards brought the home side a little closer, but Wasps looked to have the territorial advantage secured. However, some sloppy play in the dying minutes of the half by the visitors allowed the Exiles to regain some momentum, and though another long range penalty attempt by Laidlaw, from 58 metres out, fell short, his team looked ready to stage a fight back as they reached the turn around, albeit trailing 20-9.
We had to front up for the second time in a week, and we did it well
Given heart by their end of half flourish, Irish started the second half at full pelt but it was Wasps who had the first attack of intent, attacking wide from a line out for Josh Lewsey to get behind the defence. Wasps kept the ball alive and attacked the line through the forwards allowing Skivington to put Ibanez through a hole for Wasps' third try of the day, Van Gisbergen successful with the conversion.
Wasps continued to give Irish the chances however, as the turnovers that had been creeping into the game in the last half hour continued and the home team pounced on the loose ball to make their way on to Wasps' 22. As the forwards battered the Wasps' line, the ball popped out of a tackle, Bob Casey on hand to snatch it from the air and go over from short range, Laidlaw's conversion bringing his team back to 27-16.
Following a scuffle after the try, referee Spreadbury showed Wasps' captain Lawrence Dallaglio a yellow card and with the crowd getting behind the home side, a comeback was starting to look possible.
Van Gisbergen was successful with a penalty in the 62nd minute, but more indiscipline from Wasps at the breakdown allowed Laidlaw to answer with his own 3 pointer minutes later, and further tactical errors and poor ball retention by Wasps allowed the Exiles to continue to build momentum as the final quarter unfolded.
With plenty of intent but not much penetration on the part of the hosts, Wasps defence was able to hold firm as the game entered its closing stages, and although Van Gisbergen missed a straightforward penalty with 6 minutes remaining, Wasps managed to recycle enough ball amongst the general disarray of the final minutes to put George Skivington over in the corner for the last score of the game.
After the game Director of Rugby, Ian McGeechan said, 'We have played 2 very physical sides in the last week, in Gloucester and London Irish, and so we knew we had to front up for the second time in a week, and we did it well. It was one of the best defensive performances this year, and it had to be.'

Nutritionists are experts in food and nutrition. They advise people on what to eat in order to lead a healthy lifestyle or achieve a specific health-related goal. They work in many settings, including hospitals, cafeterias, nursing homes, and schools. Some are self-employed with their own practice.
Would you make a good nutritionist? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
Some nutritionists provide customized information for specific individuals. For example, a dietitian or nutritionist might teach a patient with high blood pressure how to use less salt when preparing meals. Others work with groups of people who have similar needs. They might, for example, plan a diet with reduced fat and sugar to help overweight people lose weight.
Nutritionists typically do the following:
Although all nutritionists do similar tasks, there are several specialties within the occupations. The following are examples of types of nutritionists:
Most nutritionists have earned a bachelor's degree and receive supervised training through an internship or as a part of their coursework. Also, many jurisdictions require nutritionists to be licensed. Their degrees are in dietetics, foods and nutrition, food service systems management, or a related area. Programs include courses in nutrition, physiology, chemistry, and biology.
Nutritionists typically participate in several hundred hours of supervised training, usually in the form of an internship following graduation from college. However, some programs in dietetics include this training as part of the coursework.
Nutritionists must keep up to date with the latest nutrition research. They should be able to interpret scientific studies and translate nutrition science into practical eating advice. Because there are many aspects to the work of nutritionists, they should have the ability to stay organized. Management dietitians, for example, must consider both the nutritional needs of their customers and the costs of meals.
Nutritionists must listen carefully to understand clients' goals and concerns. They also have to be emphatic to help clients confront and overcome dietary struggles. They must explain complicated topics in a way that people with less technical knowledge understand. For example, a clinical dietitian must be able to clearly tell clients about what to eat and why eating the recommended foods is important.
Nutritionists work in hospitals, cafeterias, nursing homes, and schools. Some nutritionists are self-employed and maintain their own practice. They work as consultants, providing advice to individual clients, or they work for healthcare establishments on a contract basis.

This is one of the methods in a small CMS I'm writing, I thought I'd post here since it's just a mess. Take a look at the obfuscation:
def updatesettings # This method is probably one of the most messiest things I have ever written. # It's a piece of garbage and an example of how NOT to code something like this. @settings = User.find(params[:id]) @settings.attributes = params[:settings] if request.post? oldpassword = @settings.password @settings.login = params[:settings][:login] @settings.email = params[:settings][:email] if params[:password][:newpassword1] != "" || params[:password][:newpassword2] != "" if params[:password][:newpassword1] == params[:password][:newpassword2] @settings.password = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("FAKE CODE HERE--#{params[:password][:newpassword1]}--") else flash[:sucess] = "Your new passwords don't match." redirect = "settings" end end @settings.save if params[:id] != nil if redirect == nil && "#{params[:id]}" != "#{session[:user_id]}" flash[:sucess] = "User has been sucessfully updated." redirect_to :controller => "users" else redirect_to :action => "index", :id => params[:id] end else flash[:sucess] = "Your settings have been updated." redirect_to :action => "users" end end end
edit: I fixed it up so all of the code is in the model now.
settings = @settings.updatesettings(params[:id], params[:settings][:login], params[:settings][:email], params[:password][:newpassword1], params[:password][:newpassword2])
I'd say that's a little bit better.

The roll cake is beautiful. We have been thinking about upgrading to a nice mixer. Thanks for the great giveaway!
thank you for the giveaway!! such a lovely gesture!! Holiday entertaining is a delight.
What a lovely site! Angel Food for holiday eating seems quite appropriate!! Bless you both for offering the giveaway!! I'lll be back!!
That roll cake looks divine. I don't have a go-to holiday dessert…my mom takes care of that. Also, great giveaway! xoxo
I am reading your book, and thought I would stop over at your blog! Great blog and what an amazing book! Just what I was looking for!
The Angelfood roll looks delicious and so easy!
Pumpkin Dump Cake never fails to please! Simple and luscious whether served warm or cold, it embodies all the holiday flavors for my family and friends…
I don't have to worry too much about cooking at holidays. My mother and mother-in-law do most of the cooking. I do enjoy making breads and cookies for the holidays, though!
I too am a first time visitor and enjoyed strolling through your site. BUT got really excited when I went to the new Holiday Entertaining site. I saw the pine tree sitting on the plate and I now have my Christmas dinner theme. I have a lot of the little trees and I am going to decorate them especially for my dinner guests who have hobbies that will make it a joyful task. Thanks for this site.
I started keeping a notebook years ago with the tried and true holiday recipes that were especially popular with friends and family. We serve a lot of appetizers at our parties. I always try and get a good mix of hot and cold appetizers, and veggies and sweets. My go to holiday dessert? An Apple Crunch recipe I found about 20 years ago. I have guarded that recipe like it's gold forever!
Trying to resist the urge to have the house "perfect" before planning to entertain. The company is always the best part…
Yummy recipe – I love the idea of chocolate angel food and peppermint ice cream. I'll have to try that one! A lot of time my go-to desserts are bars or brownies since most of the time we don't want a big heavy dessert after eating too much at dinner.
Thanks for the great giveaway. This would help with the baking.
I'm actually pretty uncomfortable hosting, although I do just fine if folks just drop-in (no time for anxiety, I guess). Making desserts doesn't cause me any problem, tho. I have a couple tried and true recipes: Pumpkin Crunch and Cranberry Cream Cheese bars are fail-proof! Thanks for the giveaway!
That looks amazing.! I'm making it for a potluck with my best girlfriends next week!
This year–since we have moved to a new state–we will only be havingn our youngest daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren for the Holidays. It will be the first time in our new to us home, and we are looking forward to decorating and entertaining our family. Thank you for this lovely give away…
great blog, would love to win!
I love entertaining… I love having friend over for a meal or just desert and coffee. This holiday season is my favorite time to hang out and share all that has happen in our lives during the year, good or bad… I always wanted a Kitchen aid Mixer, but can't afford one. Thank you for the opportunity
What an awesome and exciting giveaway!! I am also going to try your dessert. It looks yummy.
I would love this! I need a new mixer!
What a great giveaway! And the pumpkin roll looks amazing :)
This sorta reminds me of a bouche noel… but jelly rolls/pumpkin rolls are just as good.
Whenever I make anything like this at school, I take it to work to donate it as the dessert to the familes that our restaurant feeds in need :D
Oh my goodness… I haven't had a stand mixer for so long. This would be incredible!
My favorite easy dessert is a cherry cheesecake from my grandma's recipes. I love KitchenAid too.
What a fabulous giveaway! This would make my Christmas gathering so much better!
Feeling especially festive today, as I finished my holiday shopping for my boys AND finalized my Thanksgiving recipes! Thanks for the giveaway chance!
I used to love entertaining but it's become a bit more challenging since moving to a very small condo. However, I don't want that to hold me back. During the holidays, I love to take out and bake many of my Norwegian recipes. I always make Yulekake and Norwegian waffles. These waffles are not breakfast food but dessert; yummy.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Blessings and love,
are you going to do this give away in 2014 too?!

I once had a customer who had a cathedral ceiling in her bedroom, with a large oval window in one of the gable-end walls. Long after the drywall was hung, taped, and painted, she complained that when the sun was setting, she could see a shadow along a butted end seam on the ceiling. (Of course, the seam was invisible any other time of the day or night.) Ever since, I've been very careful about where I put butt joints.
These days, many of the homes I hang drywall in are even trickier than that house, with open floor plans, high ceilings, and lots of windows. They also tend to feature special lighting effects — including downlights, spotlighting, and sconces — and glossy paint finishes rather than flat paints and textured surfaces or wallpaper. With all of this light shining across reflective walls and ceilings at low angles, particular attention must be paid to the drywall finish.
Think of installed drywall as a kind of patchwork, with tape and compound used to strengthen the seams and blend all of the gypsum-board sheets together. Sanding the compounded areas smooth creates different textures on the surface of the drywall: very smooth areas that have been coated with compound; uncoated — but sanded — areas on the drywall surface (often the fibers of the paper are slightly raised after sanding); and the remaining, untouched paper-surface areas (the paper surface is not as smooth as the sanded joint compound). In addition there are sometimes slight bumps or recesses at the seams — especially at butt joints — and slight craters or excess compound over the fasteners. Under most circumstances, none of these differences show up under a paint finish, but occasionally they are as glaringly obvious as my client's drywall seam.
Coating joints and fasteners with joint compound adds different textures and porosities to the paper face of gypsum board.
Sanding the compounded areas smooth can actually raise the paper's fibers, producing yet another texture.
A good drywall contractor can't always avoid butt joints, but he can plan them so they don't fall in an obvious location. Likewise, gypsum board can be finished to a uniform texture and porosity; the trick is to know where and when this higher level of finish is needed.
To avoid confusion and help architects, contractors, and decorators arrive at the proper level of finish, the major trade associations involved in the manufacture, installation, and finishing of gypsum board have developed an industry-wide rating system for finished drywall. Under this system, a Level 0 finish is merely installed drywall, with no taping or finishing. A Level 1 finish — often called "fire taping" — has tape embedded in joint compound at joints and angles. In a Level 2 finish, corner beads and fasteners also get a coat of compound; this finish is often specified in garages and when surfaces will be covered with paneling or similar materials. Level 3 finishes are appropriate when heavy textures or heavy-grade wall coverings are going to be applied. Level 4 finishes are most common, but in fact they're recommended only with flat paints, light textures, or lightweight wall coverings. The best finish is Level 5, a smooth and uniform surface ready for the highest gloss paint and toughest lighting conditions.
Levels of drywall finish should be specified to match lighting conditions and the type of decorative coating used over the drywall. Higher levels of finish are required with glossy paints, thin wall coverings, and critical lighting angles.
One way to upgrade to a Level 5 finish is to skim-coat a Level 4 finish with watered-down joint compound. The skim coat smooths the texture of the paper and reduces differences in surface porosity, creating a more uniform paint substrate. The compound can be applied either by trowel or with a short-nap paint roller, then immediately removed with a wide knife before it has a chance to dry. I add 20 cents per square foot to the cost of a Level 4 finish for this upgrade.
To add a skim coat, the author mixes up a bucket of watered-down joint compound (top left) and applies it to the drywall with a 1/2-inch-nap paint roller (top right). He removes excess compound with a wide knife (bottom) before it has a chance to dry, then lightly sands the entire surface before priming.Credit: Linda FergusonAlternatively, many drywall suppliers and paint companies now offer spray-applied primer-surfacers that are applied in a thick coat over a sanded Level 4 finish. When properly used, these primers offer both a Level 5 finish and a primed, ready-for-paint surface. While a product like Sheetrock Tuff-Hide (800/874-4968, usg.com) is more expensive than a conventional primer (between $50 to $75 for 5 gallons), the total cost of a spray-applied Level 5 finish is about 28 cents per square foot, compared with about 35 cents per square foot for a hand-applied Level 5 finish and one coat of primer.

Specifying different finish levels for various parts of the house in a drywall bid or contract document encourages competitive bidding. It also makes it more likely that the customer will be satisfied when the work is done.
For example, a few years ago I finished the drywall in a house that had a large great room with a cathedral ceiling, 10-foot high walls, and lots of natural light. The same Level 4 drywall finish was specified everywhere, but as it turned out most of the lower walls in the great room were covered with bookshelves, paintings, and a large flat-screen TV. If this had been spelled out in the contract or if the contractor had communicated these details to me, I could have simply given these areas a two-coat Level 3 finish and focused my efforts on the ceiling, where joint photographing would be really noticeable without a Level 5 finish. The GC and his client would have gotten a better job for the same amount of money.
Now — even though I know I've lost some jobs because of it — I try not to offer simple per-square-foot pricing for hanging and taping drywall. When a specific finish level isn't specified by an architect, contractor, or decorator in a bid sheet, I find out how the rooms will be lit, by both natural light from windows and artificial light from ceiling and wall fixtures. I also want to know what kind of finish will be applied over the drywall. Finally, I try to educate the contractors with whom I work about the different levels of finish for drywall; I give them copies of the pamphlet "Recommended Levels of Gypsum Board Finishing" (form GA-214-07, available at gypsum.org).

text: A group of parents from North Atlanta High School are outraged with Atlanta Public Schools after the district removed all of the school's administrators.Just before the final bell on Friday, district leaders with security officers showed up at the school. They ordered interim principal mark Mygrant and his entire administrative staff to pack up and leave immediately.The abrupt removal of the school's administration have left a growing number of parents upset and distraught over what they believe is a lack of communication from the district.A district spokesperson told FOX 5 News on Saturday that the district leaders believe they handled the situation the right way. The spokesperson admitted it was abrupt and can see how the rumors could have spread quickly, but that this is all about moving the school in a new direction.Mygrant announced his retirement last fall, but when the district failed to hire a replacement, leaders asked him to work through this October.Monday, the district hired a new principal for North Atlanta High School and will allow him to hire his own administrative team, but instead of giving parents or faculty a heads up, they simply made the changes.The change also came right before a four day weekend which adds to the feeling from parents that something was not handled properly.Parents told FOX 5 News that they believed the move humiliated Mygrant and they worry if the stability of their children's education as a result of the abrupt, unannounced changes.A third group of school administrators will take over as a transition team next week. The new principal, Dr. Howard Taylor, has served as a principal in the Gwinnett County school district.Parents and teachers are planning a protest for next week.

A group from the Upstate claims they were rejected as volunteers at the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen because of their religious beliefs, or lack thereof.
According to our news coverage partners at the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, Upstate Atheists President Eve Brannon stated that they were denied the opportunity to volunteer with the Soup Kitchen because they are atheist. She added that after being denied the opportunity to volunteer with the Soup Kitchen, she was disappointed in the decision because they have worked with other Christian non-profit agencies in the past and would instead hand out care packages to the homeless on Saturday.
"They are the only group that denied us the opportunity to volunteer," Brannon told the Herald-Journal. "We can all work together to achieve something positive regardless of religion or lack thereof," she said. "We've raised money for March of Dimes, worked with the Generous Garden Project, done community park clean ups, adopted a highway, and sponsored local foster children for Christmas."
Soup Kitchen Executive Director Lou Landrum told the Herald-Journal that she would rather resign from her job before she let atheists volunteer and be a "disservice" to this community.
Landrum told 7 On Your Side, the Upstate Atheists were adamant about wearing their group's t-shirts and that the message goes against what the organization stands for in the bi-laws. Landrum says the group would be welcomed any day - as long as they weren't wearing the t-shirts with the atheist message. "All I want to say is that, don't try to hurt this ministry, because they want to be here 1 day, we operate 365 days a year, so any negative publicity will only hurt this ministry," Landrum said of the backlash of the situation. She says she's received angry phone calls and facebook messages.
Brannon says the group was open to not wearing the t-shirts during the volunteering, and that the hateful comments aren't coming from its members.
"I don't agree with the way that people are attacking them on facebook. I don't think it's appropriate," Brannon told 7 On Your Side.
The group, comprised of over 200 members, will hand out the packages on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. or until all of the packages are gone, the newspaper reports.

Vazquez trade to be finalized Thursday
White Sox to acquire four prospects for right-hander, Logan
Javier Vazquez's tenure with the White Sox has apparently come to an end, but the six-player trade that will send the pitcher to the Braves is not expected to be officially finalized until at least Thursday morning.The deal cannot be announced until all players have passed their physicals. Vazquez was scheduled to have an MRI exam in Atlanta on Wednesday evening, and the Braves won't have the results of that exam until team physician Dr. Xavier Duralde meets with Vazquez early Thursday morning. If everything turns out fine on the MRI, then the Braves are expected to introduce their new pitcher to the local media in a press conference at Turner Field later in the day. The White Sox and Braves agreed to terms Tuesday night on a six-player trade that will send Vazquez and left-handed reliever Boone Logan to Atlanta in exchange for infielder Brent Lillibridge, catcher Tyler Flowers, third baseman Jon Gilmore and left-hander Santos Rodriguez. By trading Vazquez, the White Sox freed up a considerable amount of money while also going with the club's plan to go younger and more athletic with its roster. Vazquez, 32, is under contract through 2010 and will earn $11.5 million in each of the next two seasons. But while the White Sox gained four quality young players in the trade, they'll also have to figure out how to replace Vazquez in the rotation. Despite some struggles late in the year -- when he went 0-4 with a 13.22 ERA in his final four starts, including a loss in Game 1 of the American League Division Series -- Vazquez provided the White Sox with over 200 innings pitched in each of the previous three seasons. Currently, the only three pitchers locked in for the Chicago rotation next season are left-handers Mark Buehrle and John Danks and right-hander Gavin Floyd. The White Sox might now be searching for pitching, but this trade gives them more than enough young infielders. Lillibridge, 25, will join Josh Fields, Wilson Betemit, Alexei Ramirez, Jayson Nix, Chris Getz and Dayan Viciedo in competing for three open infield spots. Ramirez, who is being moved to shortstop, appears to be the only lock for a job right now. Lillibridge entered the 2008 season as one of the top prospects in the Braves' farm system. Although he struggled offensively, hitting just .220 in 90 games with Triple-A Richmond, Lillibridge brings a tremendous amount of speed to the Sox roster. He's been successful in 127 of his 162 stolen-base attempts in the Minors.
The White Sox also added talent in areas other than the infield with the trade. Flowers, 22, caught the attention of many, including White Sox general manager Kenny Williams, while playing in the Arizona Fall League.
Flowers batted .387 with 12 home runs and 23 RBIs in 20 games for the Mesa Solar Sox. Flowers was coming off a season in which he hit .288 with 17 home runs and 88 RBIs at high Class A Myrtle Beach.
But Flowers, like the other two players the Sox acquired in the deal, remains a few years away from the Majors. Scouts have raved about Flowers' offensive potential, yet they say he needs to improve defensively if he is to catch at the Major League level.Gilmore, a 20-year-old third baseman, hit .186 in 27 games with Class A Rome this past season. While with rookie level Danville in 2007, he hit .337 with four homers and a .473 slugging percentage. Rodriguez, a 20-year-old left-handed pitcher, went 1-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 14 relief appearances for the Gulf Coast League Braves this year. In 29 innings, he recorded 45 strikeouts and issued 13 walks.

Ratings are good and important but, crucially, useless without some kind of legislation that forces companies to not sell games to minors. Or to willingly sell them to a parent who is without doubt buying it for the whinging kid who shoves it in their hands.
Yes the 2nd scenario is a harder call, but without handling the issue, an 18 rating in Oz will be as defunct as it is in Britain right now. I don't think I have ever seen a cashier stick to the guidelines because guidelines don't make money. Especially when they are only a guide and not law.
Lets hope Australia can evolve the rating system into something meaningful!
|Robert Green
@James Smith: "Or to willingly sell them to a parent who is without doubt buying it for the whinging kid who shoves it in their hands."
That one is more of a judgement call. I'm not sure we should necessarily limit the choice of a parent to say "I'm ok with my child playing this game". Right now you'd have to suspect that a large portion of them wouldn't check the rating and would let little timmy play GTA4, but at least this parent couldn't claim it was someone else's fault. That depends on whether or not you think the purpose of an R18 rating is to prevent anyone under 18 from playing it or to provide parents of people under 18 with the information necessary to make the decision themselves.
Is it illegal in aussie for an adult to buy an R18 movie and let their kids watch it?

is so scared of losing/losing out that he resorts to extreme measures to avoid so.
Extreme measures could be ridiculous, unnecessary, unethical or downright illegal. Say a man who camped for 3 days for his Ipad, which is ridiculous. Or a politician who spies on his opponent for an upcoming election which is illegal like what Nixon did. Or n incumbent politician who resorts to bribing voters while suppressing the opposition parties.
I can accept idioms or British, American and Australian slangs, if any.

After beginning his rowing career at the prestigious St. Augustine Preparatory School in Richland, N.J., Rice was recruited to JU where he rowed all four years. He found much success by winning several titles including gold at FIRA, gold at SIRA and medaling at Dad Vail's. He was a two-year captain for the Dolphins and spent summers at the Penn Athletic Rowing Club. Rice, who graduated from JU in 2006 with a BS in history and a minor in English, coached the Dolphins in 2006-07 before heading to Gainesville in the fall of 2008 and a position at Florida.
In his first year there, he led the Novice Men's 4+ to a third-place finish at both FIRA and SIRA. After two successful years as novice men's coach, he was promoted to varsity men's head coach and last year led the team to silver in the Men's Championship 4+ at Head of the Hooch and a bronze medal at States in both Men's 4+ and 8. The season ended with the Varsity 8 reaching the semifinals at Dad Vail, missing the petit final by less than a second.
