Zone exit types are broken up into three main categories: successful exits with possession, successful exits that result in a turnover in the neutral zone and failed exits that result in a turnover in the defensive zone. Exiting the defensive zone successfully with possession is obviously the ideal scenario, and is covered by the acronyms C (Carry Success) and P (Pass Success). In the chart below the total of these scenarios are called "Total Succ.".
Exiting the defensive zone successfully but without solid control of the puck, often resulting in a neutral zone turnover, is delegated by the acronyms CH (Chip), FC (Failed Carry), FP (Failed Pass) and X (Misc.). These scenarios are summed up in the "Total Clear" column in the chart below.
Zone clear attempts that result with a turnover inside the defensive zone are the worst outcome, and are dictated by the acronyms CT (Carry Turnover), PT (Pass Turnover) and T (Turnover) and are summed up in the "Total Turn." column. Additionally, note that I consider an Icing (I) a turnover as well.
C = Carry Success / P = Pass Success / CH = Chip / FC = Failed Carry / FP = Failed Pass / X = Misc. / I = Icing / CT = Carry Turnover / PT = Pass Turnover / T = Turnover
Ouch. There's not much more to say about the Devils' October 8th matchup in Vancouver. While the scoreboard indicated a close game, Vancouver owned the territorial play for a majority of the game, a fact which is richly shown in the defensive zone exit data below:
via s22.postimg.org
-The Devils had a total of 123 zone exit attempts, with a paltry 41, or 33%, resulting in secured puck possession in the neutral zone.
-New Jersey was scrambling in their own zone for a lot of this game, which is why their clear rate of 46% is awfully high compared to other games. Many of their zone exit attempts were disjointed tosses towards center ice (e.g., Andy Greene on Alexander Edler's game tying goal).
-The Devils turned the puck over in the defensive zone on exit attempts 25 times, a 20% rate.
-Marek Zidlicky was a busy man against Vancouver, logging 16 total exit events. Marek had a 50% success rate, 25% clear rate and 25% turnover rate. This was not the best game for our Czech regard, however it is important to consider that he was tasked with doing a lot of the heavy lifting in this game, compared to someone like...
-Anton Volchenkov, who only logged four total exit events. They were all successful passes, but once again I recall several of these occurring on regroups by the Canucks. In any case, it's obvious that Volchenkov's defensive partner is the one attempting to move the puck.
-Like Volchenkov, Bryce Salvador only logged five total exit events, none of which went for turnovers.
-Andy Greene had a rough game, with only three of his 11 exit attempts (27%) turning into successful neutral zone possession. Mark Fayne had an even rougher game, with only one of his seven exit attempts (14%) allowing for clean possession in the neutral zone.
-It's hard to single out anyone in the forward corps, as almost everyone was pretty bad, however it's especially telling that in eight attempts Ryane Clowe was not able to create one successful exit into the neutral zone.
-For some reason Michael Ryder had a very high total of exit events, with a total of 10. Only two of these managed to be successful.

It's quite amazing the amount of phone calls RentaScoota get requesting mobility scooter hire to enhance coach holidays, and travel. It's fair to say that many coach operators have introduced a policy of reducing the amount of mobility scooters they allow on coaches at a time when the number of clients needing them has increased.
Some coach companies will still allow you to take a mobility scooter on to their coaches but they do have Health and Safety issues concerning the weight of luggage and mobility scooters. However most companies seem more than willing to handle mobility scooters on day trips and the hold is empty of luggage.
It is a great help to coach companies when travellers organise a mobility scooter hire through the Hampshire based Rent-a-Scoota who can then deliver the scooter to the main destination so that it is awaiting your arrival. The mobility scooter can then be used on the daily excursions without any hassle. We personalised every scooter so that you can easily identify which one is yours.
When you think about it – what a fantastic introduction the mobility scooter has been. The portable mobility scooter has changed the lives of so many people who simply couldn't enjoy life as they do. The production of the Go Go Elite 4, the new Go-Go ES Scooter from Pride Mobility delivers high-performance. The lightweight Go-Go ES features easy disassembly and Pride's exclusive black, non-scuffing tyres. Designed for exceptional durability, the Go-Go ES provides reliability and outstanding value.
Features include: Pride's exclusive black, non-scuffing tyres, front frame-mounted seat post offers maximum stability, easily disassembles into 6 super lightweight pieces for convenient transport and storage, modular design for easy serviceability and convenient off-board dual voltage charger which can charge the battery pack on or off-board. We also recommend using the Electric Mobility Micro Balance a compact and economical 3-wheel portable scooter with exclusive Magnetic Stabiliser™ Wheel Technology giving you increased stability and outstanding manoeuvrability in tight situations. The self-centring magnetic castor wheels come into contact with the ground when cornering, making all the difference to the stability and helping you feel totally in control.
The Micro Balance is lightweight, with a two-piece chassis and safety locking-pin mechanism designed to disassemble with ease and fit comfortably into most car boots; it is very suited as a Mobility Scooter for Coach Holidays.
It also features cleverly designed support cradles that make it easy to store in an upright position – great news when storage space at home or in a hotel room is of paramount importance. We have many styles and models of mobility scooter used for the coach holidays and cruises and a client assessment will always flag up what's best.
We are building a network of mobility scooter friendly hotels and guest houses so we will be able to assist everyone at all times.

This was a complete test project. I never built a dresser before, let alone designed one on my own. I found a dresser I liked in the store and started building around that. I knew the rough overall size and started from the drawers out. I wanted to make one out of oak or walnut and stain it but did not want to waste a ton of money trying to learn at the same time.
I used this project to test out joining drawers with pocket screws instead of traditional methods. I also used Box store materials ie 23/32 plywood, 3/4" pine, 1/4 plywood and 2 by's cut/trimmed for all my materials. Bought 100 lb drawer slides on ebay – 10 pair for 40 bucks.
I also used up a lot of the extra stuff I had laying around my small shop – mix and match. I also used a new frame and panel bit for the first time.
I simply primed and painted this one for my 1 year old daughter – she has too many clothes and now they have a home.
Now that I learned on this one, I can move on to construct another one.
Happy with the way this turned out, learned a lot!

The drawer slides were "GlideRite 14-inch Full Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Slides" on Ebay – seller was "overstock". They were 40.99 + 2.95 s/h. Can't find same deal right now but I had looked for a long time. Sure it will come up again.

Beautiful work.One of the things that a chest of drawers can do for your home is to bring new life to the overall design of a room.It must be appropriate to the design of your place and has the right color as well as made from the right materials.
#10 posted 426 days ago
That is a very nice piece, congrats and well done. It'd look great in my house, without a doubt, and would cost more than a C-note in the stores!

Micro 4/3 Blackmagic Cinema Cameras May Be Coming Soon to a Neighborhood Near You
The Blackmagic Cinema Camera is still steadily shipping out, but so far they've only been sending out the EF mount cameras. The issue of infinity focus with those cameras was confirmed to not be affecting the shipping speed, so there is hope we have seen the last of the delays and shortages. If, however, you're one of those who switched your order to the Micro 4/3 BMCC (or ordered separately), it looks like shipment could be just around the corner.
Frank Glencairn posted this on Twitter (with the picture above):
He also later posted this:
John Brawley, who has been using his pre-production BMCC for months, later commented that these would be shipping "soon," so it's likely this is one of the first out there since it seems like Frank is on a beta list. It's obviously frustrating for everyone involved that there aren't cameras readily available for everyone who wants them, but the company made it clear that they would not start shipping the MFT mount cameras until the EF mounts were being manufactured at a steadier pace. It would not be surprising for there to be some sort of announcement regarding shipping near/at NAB, or shortly after for both the EF and MFT cameras.
Just to clear up some confusion regarding the infinity focus issue on the EF mount BMCC, Kristian Lam posted this in the Blackmagic forum:
Not everyone will encounter this issue. Also, if the lenses you use are fine, then there's really no need to do anything.
It will also be counter productive to try and send the camera back to be adjusted if out of say 5 lenses, one is slightly soft as it may be an issue with the lens itself.
Brawley later added:
The "fix" is a deliberate shortening of the actual spec FFD.
This FIX also breaks some lenses because it means those that have accurate witness mark, and hard stops at infinity will no longer be accurate once the BMCC is "fixed". A lot of lenses that haven't worked ALSO have versions that do…
Here is a particularly enlightening exchange regarding collimated lenses not having correct marks even on Canon cameras (with Brawley's response below it):
Christian Schmeer wrote:
I didn't get how this can be the case with still lenses though, if Canon themselves seem to shorten the flange distance a little (see below)? So if I understood correctly, after the adjustment/fix the distance markings won't be accurate on the BMCC, but they aren't on the 5D, 7D, and C300 either anyway?
SOME lenses are, but because they are STILLS lenses designed to be autofocused quickly that have NOW started to be used for VIDEO, they tend to have a WIDER tolerance range.
In stills, no one ever cared if the witness marks lined up. A lot of cheaper and even medium range Canon lenses don't even HAVE witness marks.
Most 5D shooters get Follow Focus gears, but again, because a lot of the AF rings on these lenses are continuous, it's never mattered that they don't line up. Its not that they SHORTENED it. it's that the lenses have a wide tolerance in manufacturing from lens to lens.
The FFD is the most crucial in WIDE lenses and at LOWER apertures. So the Tokina is very critical, and it seems Tokina have even LESSER tolerances. There are many stories with this lens not hitting infinity on other cameras before the BMCC floating around.
Deliberately shortening the FFD on the body of a camera that doesn't have a user adjustable FFD is a way to allow these lenses to work.
It's clear that the issue is complicated, but all cameras shipped from now on should be adjusted to be able to focus to infinity with lenses like the Tokina. We'll update about any official word regarding volume shipping for those still waiting for cameras (which is still quite a few of you).
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Mher Hakobyan on 03.28.13 @ 8:09AM
when BMCC (EF mount) will be shiped to Dubai?
Caleb on 03.28.13 @ 8:10AM
Yay! Now metabones needs to come out with the mft speed booster to ef mount, Nd rokinon to come out with the 50mm cine lens. Can't wait to rock that set up BMCC with metabones and rokinon cine lenses.
Lloyd on 03.28.13 @ 10:03AM
Shot a music video with the BMCC a couple of weeks ago, I used my tokina 11-16, rokinon 35 and canon 50. Gave me perfect amount of coverage, but i would recomend using a mattebox or getting nd's for your lenses, this thing is much better than im used to (7d) in low light, the amount of play you have even in prores is outstanding compared to a DSLR. The only problems were the 11-16 infinity focus and the focus rolloff on the other lenses when the subject was a bit further away. Other than that, workflow was amazingly simple and hassle free. In my opinion once haters get there hands on the thing and see what it can do they will be converted. Having said that, this camera is not for every job, it has it's down sides, but that must be understood before criticizing
Carlos dee on 03.28.13 @ 11:59AM
Counter balancing when shoulder mounting this camera is already tough (i own it), adding a matte box and counter balancing 5lbs must be painful.
Razor on 03.28.13 @ 1:13PM
Get stronger. Lift some weights.
and drink some protein :D
Daniel Mimura on 04.4.13 @ 9:24PM
It's not a weight issue, it's a balance issue.
Lloyd on 03.28.13 @ 6:12PM
I was using a fairly small jib on both days, had no issue… You should have a v-mount on the back of your rig, generally they are adjustable… So balancing was easy… I do agree that once the kit is fully set up it is fairly heavy, but I felt that made it more stable on my shoulder anyway.
THis is the BMCC that i'm getting for sure!
M43 BMCC with Voigtlander 17.5mm f0.95. WANT. Even though I already have the EF mount version…
Joseph on 03.28.13 @ 11:01AM
I've got the 17.95 f.95 on my GH3, it is a GLORIOUS lens, and perfect for this smaller sensor format.
I've got a few other lenses, but when I come back to my Voigtlander, it's like a sigh of relief to feel the focus ring, gosh it's just such a wonderful tactile experience. I do run into chromatic aberration down at .95, but clicking out is really solid, so you can stay a hair away from it safely.
I'm hoping to get a MFT BMC as long as nothing comes out at this NAB that will blow it away.
The BMC produces images that are absolutely voluptuous! You just want to eat the damn screen!
If NAB holds in store an ergonomic camera with 10-12 bit color space, 12+ stops of dynamic range, and better low light than the BMC, some phantom power XLRs, gosh I would drop $5k in a heart beat.
Yes, the image is incredible. In fact, I have been using it for stills/moving picture – the 3 megapixel stills are great for many applications. Also, I find that I always get a fantastic reaction from the people on the other side of the camera – it is a beautiful camera and still rather unusual, people are always fascinated by it.
I'm sure NAB had a lot to do with them wanting this to be news so it looks like progress is being made. Let's see when we can actually walk into B&H on a whim and buy one off the shelf…
I'm a little bitter that I changed my year-old preorder to m43 and had to switch it back to EF because they refuse to give a timeframe for m43.
Robert Thorpe on 03.28.13 @ 11:21AM
EF or MFT > WHICH ONE?
Which is better, what is the MFT good at versus the EF?
Joseph on 03.28.13 @ 11:58AM
MFT lenses are designed for specifically for this smaller sensor format. You won't find an EF lens that stops down to F.95.
There's also not an awkward flange distance protruding from the MFT.
The sacrifice is that the MFT version of the BMC won't allow you to automate lens controls, it's all manual operation. I personally always manually operate my lenses anyways, so this isn't an issue for me.
MFT is the best format for the camera, but Black Magic decided to start out with an EF mount so Canon EOS folks can make the transition easier.
I think the biggest advantage of using the EF Mount is Image Stabilization. The Sigma 17-50mm O.S. Stabilized Lens works great and really makes a difference handheld or on a shoulder rig for run-n-gunning.
Joseph on 03.28.13 @ 1:56PM
Great point Andy, also with the BMC's crop factor, any instability will be more pronounced. Long lenses, even on a tripod can be effected by wind, background activities, etc. So stabilization would be very helpful.
Hoon on 03.28.13 @ 3:57PM
If one gets a MFT version , is there any options- lens adapters that would enable the live functions of using an EF lens such as IS, focus etc?- so then one would have the best of both models……..
Does the Redrock adapter enable these functions?
Thank you
Joe Marine on 03.28.13 @ 5:11PM
Yes the Redrock adapter should work well for adjusting iris, but you won't get IS.
Hoon on 03.28.13 @ 5:40PM
Thank you, Joe. Other than IS , are there any other significant capabilities one loses by using EF lenses on the MFT model with an adapter mount. Also has this camera been used on any feature or tv/cable shows in US?
Joe Marine on 03.28.13 @ 5:43PM
Well the camera won't automatically select an iris setting for you. The way it is currently, hitting the iris button automatically brings the lens to just below clipping. With an EF adapter on the MFT camera, you'd have to judge this yourself.
That's really all you lose though, IS and the ability for the camera to automatically set the iris.
I don't know if it's been used on anything narrative thus far, but it was used in Australia on a show called Puberty Blues. John Brawley has been using it extensively professionally.
Kholi on 03.28.13 @ 10:44PM
On the flipside the camera is a bit lighter, you can feel it when you pick one up.
Kholi on 03.28.13 @ 10:44PM
Or pick the EF up then the MFT mount.
vinceGortho on 03.28.13 @ 8:40PM
So if I order an EF mount, how long should I expect to wait to get it?
vinceGortho on 03.28.13 @ 8:43PM
If I order one now*
I think adorama is shipping EF orders placed in feb.
M Jackson on 03.31.13 @ 5:16PM
What, the camera STILL isn't shipping yet? Yawn…
M Jackson on 03.31.13 @ 5:19PM
Sorry for the negativity, but I've been reading for almost a year about a camera mostly no one can get. Part of me is vindictively hoping Canon sinks BMCC asap for making us hold on, and read on and on in NFS, for something that just never comes…

Husbands are called to shepherd their wives. A pastor is not excluded. In fact, a pastor is to be modeling this spiritual care for the other husbands in his congregation. And yet, how a pastor disciples his own wife can be a bit of a unique challenge, especially if she is a more mature Christian than her husband.
In light of this, I asked a few faithful pastors, both young and old, what practical ways they have tried to disciple their wives. Drink in this practical wisdom:
- Consistent time to read Scripture and pray together.
- Provide weekly time out for her to go and tend to her own soul.
- Include her in family worship.
- Ask her what she found encouraging about being at church on Sunday.
- A date night where the plan and conversation focus on her.
- Regularly ask her about specific encouragements and discouragements.
- Buy her books you think might be helpful for her to read.
- Offer feedback to a teaching she is preparing to teach.
- Take her to a conference with you.
- Send her blog posts that will be a particular encouragement to her.
Husbands and fellow pastors, do not lose sight of all the ways you will grow in your own walk with Christ as you make these intentional efforts to spiritually care for your bride. If she spiritually grows through your efforts, so will you.

Want to be a blood donor? Make your commitment here
Scouting Units: Please let us know if you'd like to participate in the 2014 Scouting for Life Blood Drive!
Service is part of the lifeblood of Scouting. Here's a chance to give back in more ways than one.
The Cradle of Liberty Council is partnering with J.P. Mascaro & Sons and the American Red Cross to maximize participation in the Francesco A. Mascaro Memorial Blood Drive. Frank "The Chief" Mascaro spent his entire life giving back to the community. The Mascaro Family has organized a blood donation drive to help those in need and honor Frank's memory. This initiative integrates well with Scouting's core ideal of service to others and is a great way for Scouting units to get the service hours they need.
During weekends in late August (a high-need month for blood donation), drives will be conducted throughout the council. Scouts and Scouters will be able to provide service in a several ways:
- By promoting the drive to family, friends, colleagues, business associates, and the community-at-large and securing blood donor commitments.
- By giving blood (donors must be at least 17 years old or 16 with parental consent form).
- By volunteering at the drive (limited opportunities available).
Please make sure that your unit commits to help with this important initiative by completing a short online form.
See below for a list of the drive locations and resources to help promote the drive.

The key to the Spurs-Lakers series will be the play of Tiago Splitter.
Given the Laker's inside strength, this will be a twin-towers battle. Duncan can handle Gasol, but can Splitter handle Howard? This will be Coach Pop's main concern.
Not only will Tiago have to play tough defense, he will have to do so while preserving his fouls. With Diaw out, we have fewer fouls to use on Howard. Coach Pop will certainly use Hack-a-Howard to keep him from getting into an offensive zone. Hell, given his recent comments, it's already in Howard's head! Coach will be dancing in his head (and D'Antoni's too) for the next few games! Should be fun to watch!
Nevertheless, as long as our big three are decent (which I fully expect), we should be fine otherwise. If our big three all get off, Howard can score as much as foul trouble will allow.

Downtown Downers Grove just got a little sweeter.
Cocomero, a frozen yogurt and smoothie shop, opened quietly Wednesday at 5150 Main St., about four months after the business was first announced. It took over the space formerly occupied by Knitche, which moved across the street this summer.
"We're excited to finally open our Downers Grove location," owner Kevan Lee said. "Cocomero has been very popular in other communities, so we hope people like it here, too."
Lee and his brother-in-law opened the first Cocomero in Champaign in 2009. Lee's brother-in-law opened another location this summer in Elmhurst.
Cocomero—an Italian word for watermelon that Lee's brother-in-law found on the Internet—carries frozen yogurt in about a dozen flavors, ranging from Dutch chocolate and strawberry to classic vanilla and peanut butter. Customers can choose from roughly 30 toppings—fruits, candies and cereal—before weighing the cup and paying the appropriate amount.
The frozen yogurt will be liquid-based instead of powder-based, as Lee said powder-based yogurt only has about one-third of the active cultures of the liquid-based yogurt. In addition to frozen yogurt, Cocomero will also sell bubble teas, smoothies, flavored lattes and other healthy items, Lee said.
"It's really healthy food and if I can't feed it to my kid I don't sell it," he said.
Cocomero will be open from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and noon to 10 p.m. Saturday. Lee said he is trying out different times before setting regular hours.
Due to technical difficulties, the store will only accept cash for the next few days.
Lee said he hopes downtown patrons will stop by Cocomero in the coming weeks—even though the weather isn't ideal for frozen treats.
"It's getting colder, but hopefully people will still come and try it out," he said.

Route Guide - iPhone / Android - Partners - Forum - Photos - Deals - What's New - School of Rock
Select Route:
This amazing route has 2 distinct cruxes at 1/3 and 2/3 height. Expect alot of arm-melting runouts on large huecos with the crux being small crimps and shallow dishes. I call this a sport/trad route as it's about 50/50 between bolts and weird large cams. Not a recommended lead if you have to project at the grade, but well worth it if you're solid.
Around the corner to the right of Malice in Bucketland in the crevice and on the same formation. A very obvious hueco line with bolts. As soon as you start drooling, you're there.
Kinda freaky gear due to the strict bolting policy. 6 or 7 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Expect long runouts between bolts with supplemental Big Bros or Large Camalots to backup the sparse bolts.

GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) - Harrison County officials say more tar balls turned up Tuesday on the beach.
Emergency Management Director Rupert Lacy told WLOX he learned that 13 suspected tar balls in Pass Christian and were picked up by someone, but the objects were not turned in to authorities.
One of the beach teams also found six more suspected tar balls in Gulfport. Lacy says the objects are about 4 centimeters in size, smaller than the ones discovered Monday.
The tar balls turned in to authorities are being tested to determine if they are a result of the BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
The latest discoveries bring the number of suspected tar balls in Harrison County to about 100.
Hancock County officials report no new tar balls found there since more than a dozen turned up over the weekend. However, the county is warning boaters to beware off booms protecting sensitive waterways. Hancock County officials say fishermen should not cut or remove booms.
Fishermen who come to an area which needs to be accessed, and is blocked, should call (228) 467-5370 to report the blockage.
Jackson County Emergency officials had no confirmed reports Tuesday of tar balls or oiled birds. Booms are in places protecting county waterways.

GRANT SCHULTE, Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A blizzard that swept through northwest Nebraska last weekend could have long-term economic consequences for the region, which relies heavily on ranching, state officials said.
Ranchers throughout the northern Panhandle spent the week counting their livestock losses after an unusual October blizzard dumped several feet of snow on the region. As ranchers worked to find and recover their livestock, state officials warned that the massive losses — expected to rise into the thousands — could shake the region's economy.
Many of the cows died because they hadn't yet developed winter coats, and the blizzard was preceded by a cold and heavy rain, said state Sen. Al Davis, who represents the area. The blizzard then brought wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph. Herds squeezed down into ravines or against fences, where they froze or suffocated in massive snow drifts.
"The scope of the losses is astounding," said Davis, a Hyannis rancher who represents some of the hardest-hit areas. "What worries me is that when you have a big blizzard, and you lose some baby calves, it can be really hard on an operator. And if they're losing cows, then that's a much bigger deal."
Davis said the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency has been working to help in the hardest-hit areas, but the agency can't compensate ranchers for cattle losses. Davis said he had spoken with ranchers who had lost several hundred head, and was trying to catch the attention of groups that could contribute to a local recovery fund.
The main government safety net for ranchers who lose animals — the livestock indemnity program — is a federal program within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The office has remained closed since the government's partial shutdown began, and state officials said no one is available to answer questions about federal assistance.
Last week, Lt. Gov. Lavon Heidemann and a state emergency team met with local officials in Chadron, Crawford and Harrison. Heidemann, a longtime farmer from Elk Creek, said he was surprised by the extent of the losses. In an interview, he likened the blizzard to a storm that wiped out one-fourth of his herd in the 1980s.
"It's going to affect that producer for a year or two, and it will affect those communities," Heidemann said. "When the local ag sector isn't doing well — and ranching is huge out there — then that whole area is going to take a hit."
At least 700 livestock deaths were confirmed in Dawes County, and the number was expected to rise. Most ranchers were too busy to report their losses because they were out working the fields, said Scott Cotton, a Chadron-based University of Nebraska-Lincoln extension educator.
The exact number was also unknown in Sioux County, although the confirmed cattle losses were somewhere around 350, said Misty Skavdahl, the region's deputy emergency manager. Skavdahl said the number didn't account for sheep, horses and other farm animals that may have died.

Oh look! It's Daphne Groeneveld. You know, the model with the LIPS. This pic is from Chanel's pre-fall show the other day, which had a Bombay-meets-Paris theme. I don't need to be the one to tell you that as per usual everything was utterly gorgeous in that special Chanel way. They even have a new nail shade! (Hint: metallics are still going strong.)
More on that in a sec, as well as a bunch of other beauty news from this week. The great Pat McGrath was in town, I got a bunch of beauty services (including one that was a tad… shall we say… "unusual") and the blogosphere was a-buzz about a brave vlogger with acne and a guy who reads messages into hair-twirling. Oh yes, it's been an interesting week….
… Meet Diwali, Chanel's next nail shade!
So we've already talked about April, May and June—the spring '12 nail shades that Chanel is introducing in Feb. But shortly after that, come summer, THIS will be the shade to have: a gold called Diwali. I'll definitely get on board with this one, since I'm already loving this rose gold from Deborah Lippmann. Besides the nails, the makeup was pretty fab as well: heavily lined eyes with fresh peachy cheeks and lips. The dreadlocks though? Karl NO.
Here's a vid if you wanna check it out:
… On the topic of nails, I think Cherries in the Snow might be my signature colour.
Was it Elle Woods who introduced me to the idea of signature colours? I think so. And we know Essie is all about them too. Anyway, Revlon had a beauty event the other day where we all got to choose a colour for our manicures. And I'm either a) completely boring or b) totally classic, because once again I reverted to Cherries in the Snow. It's vintage! It's industrial-strength (i.e. takes ages to chip)! And I just can't get enough of the colour… although I should also mention that Revlon has tons of other fab polishes coming out soon, including the Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel that I talked about here. The shade Red Carpet will be gracing my fingernails once Cherries comes off, so stay tuned!
… So yesterday, I got the dead skin scraped off my face with a BLADE.
Apparently this is called dermaplaning. And no, I'm not kidding: the esthetician literally had a knife that she passed all over my skin. Comme ça:
The whole thing went down at plastic surgeon Frank Lista's office in Toronto, which you may recall is where I got set up with my beloved Miracle10 regimen. I was invited back for a glycolic peel, and the dermaplaning happens before they apply the acid (I hear they're one of the few places that does it in Canada). It looks/sounds a lot scarier than it actually is, although the esthetician does warn you not to talk or move during the treatment, since that could get, um, bloody. But you really don't feel a thing during the treatment, and it helps the acid penetrate so much better to have all of that dead skin taken off. (Apparently even my now twice-a-day Clarisonic routine wasn't enough to banish it.)
After it's done, your skin feels crazy smooth… and then you realize that you've basically had a SHAVE. Because the blade also removes all your peach fuzz. This is the weird beauty shiz I live for.
… Speaking of skin stuff, you've GOT to check out this vlogger's before and after video on covering acne with makeup.
Cassandra Bankson is a 19-year-old vlogger whose video showing how she covers her acne with makeup suddenly went viral this week. My mom was actually the one to alert me to her story. And OMG—if you ever doubted the power of makeup, this will blow you away.
… Makeup royalty Pat McGrath wuz here!
Beauty eds in Canada were SOOPER excited to have Pat in town on Monday (she's the global creative design director for P&G Beauty and the woman behind most of the Fashion Week beauty looks we covet). She gave us a run-through of all the spring trends, but I also picked up a couple of tippity tips:
- If you're not sure about wearing red lipstick, don't worry too much about cool versus warm shades—just go with the shade you're the most drawn to, and start by using it as a stain (i.e., blotted) for "a red mouth without the mess." Fun fact: Pat herself only started wearing a red lip for the first time last year!
- Not great with false lashes? Before you put them on, apply a liquid liner or shadow (you want to close up any gaps of skin between eyes and lashes by painting the entire lash line black). Then, use a black adhesive, and once you have the lashes on pull them down a little to adjust them before they stick. Don't be afraid to use two pairs: one full set and then layer on the outer corners.
- Her five-minute makeup advice: Put on your foundation as you would a moisturizer, blending it well into your skin with your fingers. Then, apply tons of mascara, a little bit of blush, a tiny bit of eyeshadow, and give your brows a quick check before you run out the door with a lip gloss.
… I stole Amy Adams' hair.
As you probably noticed, I'm beauty-stalking Amy Adams lately… and yesterday I finally took the plunge and upped the red in my hair. Pics forthcoming, because there was too much alcohol around at the Christmas party I attended last night to remember… and today I'm writing (and therefore not putting on makeup or any clothes with zippers or buttons). My colourist, Tony Chaar, told me I needed to commit to more frequent visits, so I have to go back for a toner in three weeks, and then a root touch-up probably in five. I've also got to get over my need for volumizing shampoos and stick with colour lines like Pureology and/or Kérastase. Sigh. This feels like work already… but I do love the colour! Tony was so happy with himself he made gang signs.
… Maybe you should think twice before you twirl your hair.
At least if you're going on a date with this guy. If you haven't seen it yet, you really need to head over here to read the post-first date email that's making the rounds of the Interwebs this week. It is 1,600 words of insanity and the beauty-related part is this (presented without comment): "You played with your hair a lot. A woman playing with her hair is a common sign of flirtation. You can even do a Google search on it. When a woman plays with her hair, she is preening. I've never had a date where a woman played with her hair as much as you did. In addition, it didn't look like you were playing with your hair out of nervousness."
So much to discuss…
Do you think you might like Chanel Diwali or are you with me on this Cherries in the Snow business?
Are you terrified, grossed out or intrigued by the idea of dermaplaning?
What do you make of the guy who was "led on" by hair-twirling? Looney. Tunes.

A new app is designed to help hunters know when to pull the trigger.
The "Sunrise-Sunset" app will tell hunters what time it is legal to shoot a gun based on where they are.
The state Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Law Enforcement developed the new app and tested it with state game wardens before releasing it for Android phones. It is not yet available for iPhones.
The app uses GPS to determine where the user is and what the opening and closing times are for various hunting seasons in that location.
The app can also show opening and closing times for other locations in the state and future dates.
The app costs 99 cents to download.

Bobby Ryan hasn't really put together a headline grabbing streak or anything this year but with a hat-trick last night he has seven goals in his last eight games and check out this pace... 39+32=71, 114 PIMs & 324 shots.
Kevin Shattenkirk had his best game yet with 1+2=3 last night to give him 4+5=9 during a six game point streak. Four of those points have come on the PP so he's effective there but he's doing it any way you like.
Two assists last night for Ryan Malone and he has 3+4=7, 9 PIMs & 27 shots over his last seven games and has been seeing a lot of time on the top PP unit. Teddy Purcell has also been joining the big guns on the top PP unit and he has 3+5=8 over his last six games and five of those points have come on the PP... this guy has a lot of offensive potential so don't be thinking that this is just a fluke.
Oh boy... Corey Crawford stopped 21 of 22 last night for his third win in the Hawks last four games and he's only given up one goal in each game. The Hawks are doing a nice job in front of him as he's faced an average of 27.6 shots/60mins this year and his numbers are fantastic (2.07 & .925). This situation is heating up and will be getting an upgrade in our Crease Conflicts section shortly.
We haven't talked too much about Cam Fowler lately but he's still logging a lot of minutes for Anaheim and is putting together a solid rookie season. With two assists last night, he now has eight assists in his last nine games but is also a minus-5 during that stretch. He's on pace for 44 points but looks like he won't give you much other than assists & some PPPs.
Nice night for Shane Doan last night with three assists and eight shots on goal... he's been struggling, suspended or injured for most of this season so hopefully this will kick him into gear.
The Ducks Dan Sexton has points in three straight since returning from his broken nose but he's just keeping a spot on the 2nd line warm while Selanne is out.
The Avs Greg Mauldin had 1+2=3 in his 15 game NHL career before exploding last night for 2+2=4. This guy's had a few 50 point seasons in the AHL but is not worth your time as I have a suspicion that games like this won't happen every night.
Sidney Crosby extended his point streak to 12 games yesterday with a hat-trick, including a PPG, SHG & GWG... and he missed on a penalty shot. He has 12+13=25 during the 12 game streak and is on pace for career highs in goals (59) and points (131).
Remember when Mark Letestu came flying out of the gates this year?... well he's had 0+3=3 over his last 18 games.
Not really going to recommend him but Kyle Brodziak had two goals for the Wild last night and has been centering the 2nd line lately (between Havlat & Cullen), so those of you in deep leagues might want to keep an eye on him. He also used his head to break Chris Stewart's hand in a fight, for whatever that's worth.
Is Alex Frolov a rotting piece of garbage or what?... 1+0=1 with only 13 shots over his last eight games and he's been pretty much useless all season. I really thought he would bounce back this year, boy was I so wrong.
Red Wings prospect Tomas Tatar had 2+5=7 & a plus-7 last night in the AHL... nice night but don't get carried away as he came into last night with no points in his last six games and only nine points in 20 games for the season. He's not even 20-years old though, so we'll cut him some slack.
The Leafs have loaned Mikhail Stefanovich to the KHL for the rest of the season. He's not much of a prospect but I know a few GMs own him.

Brook let a 16-0 lead slip and were left clinging on claim a draw in their opening game of National Conference League Division Three.
Crosfields had the opportunity to take the two points back to Warrington however a straight forward conversion sailed wide of the posts and both teams settled for a point.
The home side got a perfect start when after only five minutes play was swept to the left were Skipper Greg Hale found the gap in the defence to dive over for the opening score.
Brook had started the game well and was finding gaps in the Crosfields defence however they failed to capitalise on breaks from Aaron Hewitt and Ian Honey and Centre Danny Woods was unable to hold onto a pass with the try line at his mercy.
The second try finally came just before the half hour mark in was Greg Hale again he broke clear from half way and turned Full Back Ash Cornelia inside out before leaving the defenders in his wake as he raced away to score under the posts with Stephen Parkinson converting.
Within minutes Brook was on the scoreboard again this time it was debutant Joe Bate who scored under the posts after Hale and Honey combined to create the space for him to go over Parkinson again converted.
Crosfields went over for a crucial try with half time approaching Forward Phil Brazendale forced his way over from close range with Jack Reid adding the conversion to reduce the arrears to 16-6 at half time.
Four minutes into the second period it was game on when Jack Reid dummied his way over the try line he also added the conversion to his score.
With both teams making too many errors it always seemed the next score would be vital to the final outcome.
Midway through the half Brook lost possession on the right hand side just inside the Crosfields half Winger Nathan Hamilton scooped on the loose ball and raced away to the try line veteran Sean Richardson chased back to reduce the angle of the conversion as Hamilton headed for the posts. The conversion was very kickable however Reids effort just sailed wide of the mark.
Despite both teams efforts the score remained deadlocked until the final whistle.
Greg Hale was selected as the Tisdalls Man of the Match for Brook with Joe Bate taking the NL Commercials Players Man of the Match.

Washington Redskins
Roy Helu - #29 - RB
|5' 11"/ 215 lbs.
|Danville, CA
|Years played
|2011, 4th round, 8th pick by Redskins
Assessing where Redskins, Seahawks, Bills stand
With only three teams having hired new head coaches since the end of the season, NFList looks at the pros and cons facing the new field bosses in Buffalo, Seattle and Washington.
Redskins begin process of remaking O-line
The Redskins made two moves last week that were the first steps in the rebuilding of the offensive line, which was one of the worst units on the team this past season.
Would Haslett consider 3-4 for Redskins?
One of the interesting possibilities for new Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett could be the inclusion of some 3-4 looks and schemes in Washington.
Eagles hire April to coach special teams
The Eagles landed highly regarded special-teams coordinator Bobby April, signing him before the Redskins or any other team could land him.
Redskins hire Haslett to coordinate defense
The Redskins agreed to a deal with former Rams and Saints head coach Jim Haslett to be the team's defensive coordinator, according to various reports.
Redskins' Bugel retires after 32 years in NFL
Redskins assistant Joe Bugel, who spent 15 of his 32 NFL seasons coaching with the team, announced his retirement on Wednesday.
Rooney Rule has failed yet again
The Steelers point to head coach Mike Tomlin as proof that the Rooney Rule works, but most teams appear to sidestep the rule, writes Eric Edholm.
Could Redskins' Portis, Campbell both be gone?
There was a clear division between what new Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said about QB Jason Campbell and RB Clinton Portis, both of whom have questionable futures in Washington.
Redskins introduce Shanahan as coach
Standing before a packed media room, new Redskins GM Bruce Allen introduced new head coach Mike Shanahan and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've got our man."
Shanahan becomes Redskins' new head coach
The Redskins have moved quickly to change their on-field leadership, firing head coach Jim Zorn early Monday and completing contract negotiations with Mike Shanahan on Tuesday evening as the long-rumored successor.
No surprise: Redskins fire Zorn
The Redskins fired head coach Jim Zorn early Monday morning after their return from Sunday's game in San Diego, GM Bruce Allen has confirmed.
Redskins' Campbell prepares for unknown future
There have been no indications that QB Jason Campbell will be a Redskin next season, though it's difficult to say what will happen to him until a new coach is hired.
The Washington Redskins have placed Helu Jr. on injured reserve.||||||| Helu has been dealing with turf toe in his left foot since the season opener and had two sore Achilles during preseason. He had only two carries for 2 yards and seven catches for 45 yards this season.
Helu became the first Washington rookie to for 100 yards in three straight games during a 34-27 loss to New England on Sunday.||||||| Helu had a career-best 126 yards on 27 carries during the defeat and has a combined 334 of his 582 yards over the past three games.
Helu rushed for 100 yards and a score in Sunday's 34-19 loss to the Jets.||||||| Helu has run for 208 yards and two TDs in the last two games.
Helu had career highs of 23 carries for 108 yards and scored his first touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 win over Seattle. He also caught seven passes for 54 yards.||||||| This could be a breakout game for Helu, who averaged 39.0 rushing yards per game over his previous three contests.
Helu made his first career start in Sunday's loss to San Francisco, running 10 times for 41 yards, but he caught 14 passes for 105 yards.||||||| Helu is getting some unexpected playing time with the injuries to Washington's running backs, though the performance receiving cannot be expected to be duplicated.

Meditaciones metafÃsicas (Spanish Edition) (original 1641; edition 1994)
by René Descartes
Work details
Meditations on First Philosophy by René Descartes (1641)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An interesting thought experiment - until Descartes ends up "deducing" the existence of God, and pretending that it was inevitable.
I think this is an important work to read if you're doing philosophy. I don't like Descartes' philosophy, personally, but his writing is relatively easy to read and he wrote some very important arguments that must be considered. For example, "I think therefore I am."
I loathe his ontological argument beyond all believing, but don't mind me. You should read this and make your own decisions.
Edit: Reread. Still don't like his philosophy, but it's easier to read when you read it all at once and sequentially.
« Les personnages d'O. Henry. sont portés par des passions simples, comme celle du tabac, de la confidence facile » ou, comme dans Le Profil magique, par celle de l'argent... On voit là une Américaine, aussi riche qu'avare, s'éprendre à la folie de la jeune dactylo qui officie dans le « Remingtorium » de son hôtel. Pour l'absurde raison que son profil grec lui rappelle... celui qui orne le dollar d'argent! « O. Henry, c'est La Fontaine égaré dans un western ou chatouillant du pied la fourmilière new-yorkaise. Ses contes sont des fables modernes... Soutenue par la bouffonnerie de l'inspiration, une moralité commune s'en dégage où il apparaît qu'O. Henry aura passé le meilleur de sa vie à illustrer Le rat des villes et le rai des champs. » (Antoine Blondin.)
Descartes is of course famous for "Cogito Ergo Sum", or "I think, therefore I am", an argument which is laid out in these meditations … and OK, if one needs to spend the mental energy to prove one exists, fine. Hats off to the man for thinking deep thoughts and putting quill to parchment in 1641. But he then builds upon this to "prove" that God exists. I won't recreate that argument here because it's ridiculous, and a good example of how a philosopher can wrap himself up too much in a pseudo-intellectual argument to reach his desired conclusion, whatever it might be. Of course the Meditations have value and a solid place in the history of Western Philosophy, but I'd recommend turning to the philosophy of the East instead. I got very little out of these writings.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0872201929, Paperback)Many other matters respecting the attributes of God and my own nature or mind remain for consideration; but I shall possibly on another occasion resume the investigation of these. Now (after first noting what must be done or avoided, in order to arrive at a knowledge of the truth) my principal task is to endeavour to emerge from the state of doubt into which I have these last days fallen, and to see whether nothing certain can be known regarding material things.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:19:29 -0400)
"In Descartes's Meditations, one of the key texts of Western philosophy, the thinker rejects all his former beliefs in the quest for new certainties. Discovering his own existence as a thinking entity in the very exercise of doubt, he goes on to prove the existence of God, who guarantees his clear and distinct ideas as a means of access to the truth. He develops new conceptions of body and mind, capable of serving as foundations for the new science of nature. Subsequent philosophy has grappled with Descartes's legacy, questioning many of its conclusions and even his basic approach, but his arguments set the agenda for many of the greatest philosophical thinkers, and their fascination endures." "This new translation includes the Third and Fourth Objections and Replies in full, and a selection from the rest of these exchanges with Descartes's contemporaries that helped to expound his philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

On the morning of the 29th of May 1953 Edmund Hillary stood looking up at the summit of Everest: A mountain that until that point had ruthlessly defied every attempt to conquer it. The chance to be the first man to set foot on the very top of world was firmly within his grasp and he was under no illusion that the effort required would be massive. It would demand every ounce of his willpower and strength. Anything less would result in failure.
On the 4th of May 2013 Robert Guerrero will face the boxing equivalent of Everest in the form of Floyd Mayweather Jr. For Guerrero this is not a step up in class: It's far beyond that. This will be the ultimate test of his skills, durability and his will to win. He will pit each of these attributes against a proud and supremely conditioned boxer who has turned back each and every challenge to his supremacy for over two decades. But as Robert Guerrero contemplates what many see as the pinnacle of boxing, he does not seem daunted. He has the look of a man who's not intimidated in any way; a man who is has absolute clarity on the magnitude of the challenge that lies ahead.
He was a lightweight when he first called out Mayweather, who at that time was twelve pounds heavier and two divisions due north. The suggestion that he should share a ring with consensus best fighter on the planet drew little attention apart from a few dry chuckles from boxing writers and fight fans. Most surmised that this was merely a marketing ploy, an audacious attempt at linking his name to a name that has headlined some of the largest pay-per-view events in the history of the sport. Surely he wasn't serious?
But Robert Guerrero was deadly serious and chose to demonstrate this intent by skipping over the Light-Welters to fight two top ten welterweights back to back: Selcuk Aydin, undefeated at the time, and Andre Berto, a two time belt-holder. He obviously had no time for the almost obligatory soft fight to get acclimatized to the heavier weight. He wanted to make an emphatic statement and he did.
Guerrero won both fights by unanimous decision, unveiled a surprising physicality and almost brutal approach not evident in his previous encounters. After defeating Aydin in a close but clear points victory, the dry chuckles made way for raised eyebrows. Was there a new player at 147? The doubts remained and leading up to his fight with Berto more than a few picked against him citing Berto's considerable advantages in both speed and power.
Once again Guerrero's blunt refusal to be denied was manifest in a bruising and ruthless dismantling of Andre Berto. Robert Guerrero had loudly announced that he belonged in the division. His continued demand for a crack at the title no longer sounded far-fetched and it was crystal clear to all that win, lose or draw he was out to hurt whoever shared the ring with him.
History tells us that at 11:30am, 29 May 1953 Edmund Hillary became the first man to scale Everest. He left us with this piece of wisdom: "It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." A profound quote that spoke volumes of the sheer willpower that was required to drag his exhausted body to summit. Guerrero possesses a similar uncompromising focus but will it be enough to be the first the beat Mayweather?
In all likelihood not: Mayweather may have slowed at age 36 but he remains a defensive genius with ring generalship and adaptability second to none. Guerrero will find it extremely difficult to land anything clean, and to be competitive he will need to take the fight in close. He already knows that Mayweather's accuracy will make him pay dearly as he closes the distance but Guerrero will not allow Mayweather to dictate the range and pace.
Guerrero will make Mayweather fight every minute for all twelve rounds and he will do damage and not all of it will be clean. There will be a fair share of elbows and clashing of heads and blood. In the end when the scores are tallied Robert Guerrero will not have his hand raised. Floyd Mayweather will leave the ring with his perfect record intact, battle-worn, truly tested and yet elevated by the man he bested. In defeat, Guerrero will leave unbowed, unrepentant and proud: A warrior.

Way back in 1973, Cincinnati went to Pittsburgh in week seven, with the Steelers looking to avenge their only loss of the season. Two weeks earlier, Paul Brown's Bengals had downed the Steelers 19-7 at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium. The Bengals would lose to the Steelers in week seven's rematch. While the Steelers would lose their starting QB for over a month to a broken collar bone. The loss of Bradshaw and his lingering shoulder injury contributed to another four Steelers losses in 1973. Ultimately Bradshaw threw 10 costly interceptions when he came back for their final four games of the season. Closing out their 1973 playoff game loss with 3 interceptions.
Modern Bengals fans remember 2005 with broken hearts and the season that might have been. Pittsburgh was only paying Cincinnati back for what might have been in 1973.

The regularly scheduled meeting of the Port Authority drew a capacity crowd, because listed on the agenda was consideration of and possible action regarding the employment of the chief executive officer Alec Dreyer.
The matter was tabled at the request of Commissioner Janiece Longoria. She wanted investigations by the district attorney and county attorney to be completed without any major disruption of Port business.
"In representing the really important political stakeholders in this region, which includes the mayor, city council, the county judge, commissioner's court, all of the citizens of this region, the employees, industry leaders — we need to get back to work."
Dreyer's status drew the support of several people, including Clyde Fitzgerald of the International Longshoreman's Association.
"There's been a lot said here this morning about the pending investigation, and we also would like to see it over with quickly. And I want to say to you Mr. chairman and commissioners, y'all have done a great job representing this port over the years. Because of the action you've taken, we've become one of the major container operators in the country."
Last week, Port Chairman Jim Edmonds and Dreyer asked DA Pat Lykos to investigate whether any of their activities had violated of state laws. That request came after County Commissioner Jack Morman asked the county attorney to ensure that the port was in compliance with things like financial reporting, open records and conflict of interest.
This is Port Chairman Edmonds:
"Everything here is open to be looked at and we welcome the opportunity to be an open book, because we want to make sure that corrections are made, and that the appropriate policies and procedures are put in place, and whatever that event may have been will not occur again."
The Port Authority also hired defense attorney Rusty Hardin to help the district attorney and county attorney in their investigation. It centers on Dreyer's use of the Authority's tour vessel for a private function, and Edmonds' relationship
with a company that does business with the port.
Commissioner Elyse Lanier says questions need to be answered.
"The whole point of this is to make the port a better place. The port is our most important economic engine, and what we want to do is make it even a better place. We want people to feel good about the taxpayer money. That's the most important thing."
Dreyer was an energy executive before he come to the Port Authority.

To determine if you have the reflux disease, you may need to undergo pH/impedance testing. A pH test measures the amount of acidic material that comes from your stomach into your esophagus and into your throat. When evaluating laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR, or reflux that affects your throat), it is particularly important that the acid levels be measured in both the esophagus AND your throat – testing that it is not available at most centers. We offer this dual-probe pH testing in combination with impedance, which both tells us the direction of the reflux (helping to distinguish a reflux event from a swallow) and also tells us if you are having NON-acid reflux.
Most reflux medications usually control acid production very well, but they don't stop reflux. You may still be having reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus or throat, although it may be less damaging with less acid content. Some people are still very sensitive to this weakly acid, or non-acid reflux, particularly for cough and throat clearing. The impedance portion of this examination allows us to evaluate you for non-acid reflux.
What to Expect
Manometry is the first step in the pH/impedance test. After this 30 minute pressure test, the 2 mm soft catheter will be placed through your nose and positioned precisely in your esophagus. Then it will be secured to the side of your nose with clear tape. This catheter stays in place for 24 hours. Yes, you go home with it in place. Yes, people can see it. And yes, you can and should do all your normal activities, including working. The only thing you can't do with the catheter in place is take a shower or bath (the water will ruin the equipment). You will have a monitor with buttons to push when you are having symptoms. You will also have a diary on which to record when you eat and when you lie down. The catheter is removed quickly the next day in the clinic. The results have to be analyzed carefully by our physicians, so they will not be available for 1-2 weeks.
Tips for improving the diagnostic value of your pH/impedance study:

Four teenagers have been arrested on various charges after a crime spree that stretched through the Black Friday shopping weekend, according to the Richland County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff Leon Lott said Leon Howard III, 17, Joshua Rhode, 17, Wyatt Williams Jr., 17, and Donald Carswell, 18, were all apprehended thanks to valuable information provided by victims and witnesses of various robberies in late November and early December.
Several of the robberies took place from November 25 - 30 in the Two Notch Road area and near the Village at Sandhill, Lott said. The four are also accused of being involved in an armed robbery on Sandy Haven Drive in Elgin, according to investigators.
On December 6, deputies on special assignment to apprehend these suspects spotted a vehicle that fit the description described at previous larcenies by witnesses. The deputy performed an investigative traffic stop and observed a gun in plain view inside the vehicle, Lott said.
Information provided by forensic science, interviews of witnesses and victims, and video surveillance equipment led to the arrest of Rhode and Williams. The Sheriff added that additional information provided by the suspects led investigators to Howard.
The four are accused of bring involved in all or some of the following incidents (as provided by the Richland County Sheriff's Department):
Howard is charged with strong armed robbery and armed robbery. Rhode is charged with armed robbery, two counts of strong armed robbery, four counts of larceny, unlawful carry of a weapon, possession of narcotics, and driving under suspension. Williams is charged with unlawful carry of a weapon and two counts of larceny. Carswell is charged with strong armed robbery, attempted robbery, armed robbery, and three counts of petit larceny.

Do Numbers Matter Anymore on Social Media?
That was the question asked in a recent blog post on GovDelivery's Reach the Public. Inspired by author Penny C. Sansevieri's claim in her "Twelve Social Media Predictions for 2014" that numbers don't matter anymore because engagement is more important, the blog argued that numbers do matter to the public sector, it's just not the only piece.
Sansevieri suggests in her post that what companies care most about is engagement. For example, are you getting people to communicate with you? Are they re-tweeting your content or leaving comments? Comparing it to an in-person event, she asks would you rather have a lot of people show up but half fall asleep mid presentation? Or would you rather have a smaller group that is very engaged and asking questions? To Sansevieri, a good social media presence is more than the number of followers.
However, the public sector is a bit different. Of course engagement is important and a good way to determine how helpful your content is, but the number of followers also matters. As the Reach the Public blog notes, "the number of people you reach with a message can have a profound impact on citizens' lives." Considering so many government organizations are sharing information on storms, public safety, emergency management etc the more subscribers they have, the better (think Superstorm Sandy).
As we look down the road in 2014 and the next few years, it seems like it's going to be a "have your cake and eat it too" scenario. To meet your agency's goals, you will need engagement (and a lot of that is going to come online). But you also need people to see your messages and know what you are offering. Which is why, Reach the Public, notes "numbers are no longer the only things that matter."
I encourage you to check out the full blog post here which also includes 3 tips for increasing engagement.
What do you think? Do numbers still matter? Or is engagement more important?

Catch22, in my opinion, they are both equally important.
It's not the number of connections you have, it's how many people believe in you or your product, and how engaged do they become when you have their attention. That being said, if you don't have an audience to share your product/service/skill, how can you be successful?
If you have a valuable product/service, and you are using social media within your market, you should be able to capitalize. The key is "within your market", in my opinion.
