Clemson and Georgia have started talks that could result in the cancellation of the football series planned between the two schools for 2013 and 2014. UGA athletics director Greg McGarity confirmed the talks Tuesday, though there has been "no resolution or final determination yet," according to UGA. Talks were initiated by Clemson as a result of the ACC's move earlier this year to expand to a nine-game conference schedule to accommodate 14 members in the league.I promised my son a few years back that I would take him to his first road game at Clemson in 2013, when he will be ten. If I have to tell him we can't go, I'm going to be royally pissed off. Don't fail us, Greg McGarity. This sucks. Go 'Dawgs!
McGarity said Thursday that a new model would be used for 2013 and beyond. It's not known what that model will be, but it will not be a nine-game schedule, Bloom said. The SEC has repeatedly asserted it is not adding another conference game since expanding to include Missouri and Texas A&M.The 2012 SEC schedule is due to be released early next week, and it appears pretty certain that the league will stick with an eight-game schedule at least for the next few seasons. For the short term, we appear to have dodged a bullet. For the long term, does this mean we're liable to be looking at an additional expansion, to 16 teams, within the next few years? Stay tuned. . . . Go 'Dawgs!
Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe promised big bucks last month to save his disintegrating conference at the last possible second, and Texas A&M is taking the man at his word: University president R. Bowen Loftin said in a statement/warning Wednesday that A&M "fully anticipate(s) that the Big 12 will honor its commitment" to distribute $20 million a year to its biggest fish, TAMU, Texas and Oklahoma, beginning in 2012. If it doesn't? A&M will "explore every legal avenue" to get its money, according to another high-ranking official, including the much-rumored defection to the SEC the Aggies held over their rivals' heads when it looked like the rest of the Big 12 South was about to bolt for the Pac-10.We may not have heard the last of the talk of Texas A&M joining the SEC. Go 'Dawgs!
By not joining the SEC, A&M has basically said they do not want to be part of the big time. The BOR has shown that they are not forward thinkers. A tv contract with such unequal revenue sharing will cause the same hard feelings that have plagued the conference to continue to fester in our 'new' 10 team league. Given a chance to join the best league in the country while in the process creating a new athletic identity for the school, the BOR chose the easy way out. The Board of Regents has delayed the inevitable for a couple more years, at the most. This conference is doomed to fail because tu's boorish behavior will eventually drive someone else away, and the resulting instability will cause the whole process to repeat itself again. The SEC is the greatest league in the land not because of their superior athletics, but because of their superior leadership. The SEC understands that by sharing revenue equally, it benefits every program in the league and therefore the league as a whole. It is the rising tide theory in real life. It is too bad that we do not have leadership like that at A&M. The bright side of this ordeal is that I have run into a whole bunch of really nice people who are fans of the various SEC schools. Their friendliness on the blogosphere has made me an even bigger fan of the SEC than I already was. I can assure you that whenever I see an SEC team competing with another conferences team from now on, I will be rooting for the SEC. There are some really great people in that conference. I always said that before I die I was going to go attend an SEC football game, and tailgate at a baseball game with the Lounge Lizards at MSU. This experience has only deepened my resolve to those ends. I sincerely hope A&M has the chance to join the SEC again in the future. We have a lot in common with the SEC, and I think we would fit right in. I cannot blame the Ags out there who are canceling their season ticket orders, and refusing to donate to the 12th Man Foundation this year. I know they feel betrayed, just as I feel betrayed. Our leadership let us down in a major way. A&M is supposed to produce leaders, but our BOR obviously missed out on a major part of our curriculum. It sickens me to see them let this opportunity pass them by. We can only hope a similar opportunity presents itself again in the future. I can almost taste the BBQ at Dudy Noble Field. I'm gonna go find some little old lady to beat up. I hope the judge is an SEC fan, because then I know he will understand.I Am the 12th Man shows why the Aggies would have been an excellent addition to the league. Go 'Dawgs!
Texas A&M is a proud member of the Big 12 Conference and will continue to be affiliated with the conference in the future. As Athletics Director Bill Byrne and I have stated on numerous occasions, our hope and desire was for the Big 12 to continue. We are committed to the Big 12 and its success today and into the future.Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin puts the final nail in the coffin of SEC expansion. Go 'Dawgs!
First of all, if I had my druthers I would wish that the conference did not disband. I'd like to see everything stay intact. If it goes from 12 to 10, that suits me just fine. I would really hate to see A&M and its rivalries with Texas and Texas Tech and Oklahoma go away. I hated to see the Southwest Conference disband. I'm the sort of person who holds onto old values. I think there are some that would like to see Texas A&M competing in the SEC.Gene Stallings puts conference expansion back to defcon four. Go 'Dawgs!

"(Lake Natron) takes its name from natron, a naturally occurring compound made mainly of sodium carbonate, with a bit of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) thrown in. Here, this has come from volcanic ash, accumulated from the Great Rift valley. Animals that become immersed in the water die and are calcified." Read the full article here.

PEORIA, Ill -- As the holiday season progresses the Peoria Police are warning both residents and business owners to be on the look out for robbers. Peoria Police Chief Steve Settingsgaard said as a whole robberies are up this year, and that trend will likely increase in the coming weeks.
"This is a season that we do see more robberies and typically as you get closer to Christmas you get more and more armed robberies, strong armed robberies, that sort of thing," said Chief Settingsgaard.
It's not just the holiday season, Peoria Police Chief Steve Settingsgaard said from January through November robbery crimes are already up 18% over 2011. Chief Settingsgaard believes there are a lot of factors that go into to crime trends, from the holidays and economy to the weather.
He said, "The weather has been so mild that I think we've not seen as much of a decline as we normally would in the pre-Christmas season."
The Chief said it's hard to know all the forces behind the numbers, "It could just be one active crew sometimes that can really skew your numbers. If you get somebody who's out and commits 10, 12 robberies that changes your numbers enough that you get a pretty significant statistical swing."
He adds two other trends he has seen in recent weeks are a increase in the number of daytime and business robberies.
"This week has been a busy week. We've had several retail businesses robbed, we've had a couple of banks hit."
Chief Settingsgaard urges business owners to invest in a good video surveillance system.
For residents he said stay extra mindful of your surroundings and keep belongings locked up and out of sight as you do your holiday shopping.

Essex Rowing competed in the Novice Challenge in Lowell recently in four events, winning two golds, one silver and one bronze medal.
In rowing first year competitors are divided into a "Novice" category and generally compete exclusively against novice athletes from other teams. The Novice Challenge is a race specifically for these crews and for the majority of athletes that just picked up the sport in the spring, it is their first competition.
Essex opened the day racing both a boys and girls four. The girl's crew of Laura Bailey (Topsfield), Molly Eberth (Andover), Diana Glinos (Andover), Jackie Lanzaro (North Reading) and Emily Dunham (Boxford) held a steady but close lead over most of the course, finally opening distance between them and the field in the final 300 meters to take first place.
The boys crew of Laura Bailey, Thomas Berhakis (Reading), Lucas Prioli (Danvers), Anthony Giovanelli (North Andover) and Kyle Collins (Rowley) followed a similar plan, recovering from steering issues at the start to eventually move through the field and finish with an open water margin of victory.
Later in the day Essex competed in the boys and girls eights. The boys eight of Laura Bailey, Anthony Giovanelli, Tom Berhakis, Liam Rex (Andover), Lucas Prioli, Kyle Collins, Max Baron (Andover), Matt Collins (Boxford) and David Holzberger (Londonderry, NH) had a rough start on an increasingly choppy course. They recovered through the middle of the race, edging up on Wayland-Weston and Bromfield, who took the early lead. Despite the push, Essex could not catch the leaders and finished in third place with a time of 5:34.32. Westford Academy followed in fourth place with Greater Lawrence Rowing finishing last.
The final race of the day was the girls eight, rowed by Laura Bailey, Molly Eberth, Diana Glinos, Maggie Block (Boxford), Liz Trimble (Topsfield), Jackie Lanzaro, Jamie Truax (Northborough), Arin Kim (Middleton) and Emily Dunham. The race was the closest of the day for Essex as they battled a crew from Bromfield/Acton-Boxborough down the course. Ultimately it was Bromfield that reached the line first with a time of 6:15.98 and with Essex second at 6:18.37. East Bay Rowing from Barrington, Rhode Island took third with a time of 6:23.49.
Both the varsity and novice squads from Essex Rowing will compete in the District Championship on today and tomorrow.

Virgil Abloh's Off-White Gets the Jay and Bey Seal of Approval-------
Today in Jay Z and Beyoncé news, the power pair has released a trailer for their upcoming On The Run Tour, which kicks off on June 29. The nearly four minute video clip feels more movie trailer than promo short, and sees the couple unleash their inner Bonnie & Clyde—flashback to 2003—and wreak havoc. The clip boasts an impressive lineup of star-studded appearances (from Blake Lively, Sean Penn, and Jake Gyllenhaal, just to name a few), but we couldn't take our eyes off Virgil Abloh's signature Off-White camo jacket, which Jay Z is seen wearing at the 1:05 and 1:33 marks. It was only five months ago that the Chicago-born designer (who also happens to be Kanye West's creative director) launched his Off-White streetwear label. As if his recent foray into womenswear and weekly contributions to Style Map weren't enough to stir up buzz, a nod from music's royal couple will undoubtedly put Abloh on quite a few radars.

Matchday live: Nottingham Forest v Blackburn Rovers
Updated 4:57pm Saturday 18th January 2014 in Football By Paul Wheelock, Blackburn Rovers reporter
This live event has finished
- WELCOME to the City Ground for Blackburn Rovers' Championship clash at Nottingham Forest. Follow all the action here with our live blog.
FULL-TIME Forest 4 Rovers 1.
GOAL 4-1 Forest. Andy Reid. 90 mins.
SUBS two for Forest - Matty Derbyshire and Guy Moussi on, David Vaughan and Jamie Mackie off - and one for Rovers - David Dunn on, Chris Taylor off.
Just when it looked like Rovers were getting on top, Jamie Paterson scores a wonderful solo effort for Forest, jinking past his marker and then firing right-footed low into the bottom corner.
GOAL 3-1 Forest. Jamie Paterson. 72 mins.
Rovers enjoying their best spell of the game. Forest about to bring two subs on. 71 mins. 2-1.
Rovers go close, Josh King wins a ball on the edge of the box and fires-in a left-footed drive which Karl Darlow parries into the path of Tom Cairney, whose shot on the turn goes over. 67 mins. 2-1.
Crowd is 22,456 (1,367 away).
Poor pass in midfield from Jason Lowe to Henri Lansbury, whose fierce 25-yard strike was parried wide by Simon Eastwood to Jamie Peterson, whose stood-up cross is flicked wide by Simon Cox. Should have scored. 61 mins. 2-1.
Moments before the substitution, Andy Reid's left-wing cross was punched clear by Simon Eastwood as far as the onrushing right-back Gonzalo Jara, whose well-struck first-time effort was not too far wide.
SUB for Rovers. Jordan Rhodes on, Rudy Gestede off. 58 mins. 2-1.
SUB for Rovers as Josh King comes on for Lee Williamson. 64 mins. 2-1.
Rovers go so close to an equaliser. Tom Cairney free kick to Scott Dann who heads towards goal and there was Ben Marshall with an acrobatic flick that Karl Darlow pushed over.
From the resulting Cairney corner, Tommy Spurr headed over when he could have done better. 47 mins. 2-1.
No changes for either side. Second half is under way.
HALF-TIME Forest 2 Rovers 1.
Stunning block by Grant Hanley to prevent Jamie Paterson's goal-bound shot troubling Simon Eastwood after the winger had turned Scott Dann inside out. 44 mins. 2-1.
Forest nearly restore their two-goal advantage, Jamie Mackie cutting in from the right and firing a left-footed curler which Simon Eastwood turned over his bar. 39 mins. 2-1.
Out of nowhere Rovers are back in it. A corner breaks to the edge of the box where Tom Cairney neatly lays the ball off for Ben Marshall who takes a touch before bending the ball into the top corner from 20 yards. Great finish.
GOAL 2-1 Rovers. Ben Marshall. 37 mins.
No doubt that one was a penalty. Silly, silly tackle by Adam Henley on Jamie Mackie. Forest deserve their two-goal lead, given to by Lansbury, who smashed his effort past the diving Simon Eastwood and into the middle of the goal.
GOAL 2-0 Forest. Henri Lansbury (pen). 34 mins.
PENALTY Forest. 33 mins.
Tom Cairney's free kick, curled round the wall, goes high and wide. 31 mins. 1-0.
BOOKED Dan Harding for the challenge.
Wonderful piece of skill by Tom Cairney wins Rovers a free kick 20 yards from goal. 30 mins. 1-0.
Rovers just can't keep the ball, Forest pressing relentlessly. Chances may have dried up but still only one team in it. 28 mins. 1-0.
Rovers have been poor so far but credit to Forest, they have been excellent. Really, really bright. 21 mins. 1-0.
It's been coming but it still looked a harsh penalty, Grant Hanley adjudged to have barged Henri Lansbury in the box. Lansbury then picked himself up and fired the spot-kick low and hard into the bottom corner and, although Simon Eastwood got two hands to it, the power beat him.
GOAL 1-0 Forest. Henri Lansbury (pen). 15 mins.
PENALTY to Forest. 14 mins.
Great start from Forest - they've had Rovers on the ropees. But, in the 13th minute, it remains goalless.
All Forest. Henri Lansbury finds space in midfield, breaks forward and unleashes low, well-struck right-footed effort from 20 yards which Simon Eastwood had to get down to his right to turn behind. Good save. 10 mins. 0-0.
Forest go so close. Gonzalo Jara plays in the lively Jamie Mackie inside the box and his cross, thumped and hard and low, hits Simon Cox before going just past the beaten Simon Eastwood's post. Hosts on top. 9 mins. 0-0.
Andy Reid free kick, whipped in left-footed from the right-flank, finds Greg Halford in a crowded box, but his header is misdirected and sails halmlessly wide. 6 mins. 0-0.
First save of the game goes to the recalled Simon Eastwood, palming aside David Vaughan's stinging 25-yard left-footed strike. 5 mins. 0-0.
Rudy Gestede may be should have passed there. He robbed the ball off Greg Halford from just inside the area and instead of crossing, he decided to try his luck with a curling shot from a very difficult angle. 3 mins. 0-0.
We are under way.
So the teams in full are...
Forest: Darlow, Jara, Halford, Collins, Harding, Vaughan, Lansbury, Mackie, Paterson, Reid, Cox. Subs: de Vries, Moussi, Majewski, Derbyshire, Abdoun, Henderson, Miller.
Rovers: Eastwood, Henley, Dann, Hanley, Spurr, Lowe, Williamson, Cairney, Taylor, Marshall, Gestede. Subs: Kean, Kilgallon, King, Dunn, Rhodes, Morris, Goodwillie.
Forest, who are four points above eighth-placed Rovers in fifth, have made four changes to the team which started their 1-1 draw at Bolton Wanderers last Saturday.
Their bench includes former Rovers striker Matt Derbyshire.
Rovers will be without goalkeeper Paul Robinson – while top scorer Jordan Rhodes is deemed only fit enough for a place on the bench.
Robinson came off at half-time in Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay defeat at Manchester City with a hamstring strain and is expected be out for a week.
He has been replaced between the posts by Simon Eastwood.
Rhodes (foot) and captain Scott Dann (groin) missed the Etihad Stadium encounter.
But while Dann returns to the starting line-up, in place of Matt Kilgallon, Rhodes will start as a substitute having not trained this week.
Rovers boss Gary Bowyer's third and final change sees Rudy Gestede come in for DJ Campbell who, amid reports he is interesting Millwall, is not in the squad.
Neither is Ruben Rochina whose loan move to La Liga Rayo Vallecano is believed to be edging closer.
Good afternoon and welcome to the City Ground for the battle of the play-off rivals, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers.

Why GB persists with Williamson and Lowe in defensive midfield positions is beyond me, we only need one and Williamson simply isn't up to it, it leaves gaping holes in the middle and decent teams like Forest are going to take advantage.
20 minutes or so of constant pressure, two penalties and from what I can see heroics from Eastwood just about says it all.
Disappointed but to be honest I didn't expect much from today, which doubles the importance of the game against Derby.
Mind you it could be worse, we could be Bolton or Blackpool fans.

A 4-1 spanking on the back of shamefull Cup performance.
It's little wonder that players are queuing up to leave & Rhodes can't be ar£ed putting a shift in any more.

Hanley is a crude player, but he can do a good defensive job, however can someone find him a brain transplant, he continues to do stupid things at the worst times. Book Lowe in for the same operation.
Lots of matches left, lets hope GB can see the error of his midfield ways soon.

What an absolute shambles you lot are. Calamity Kean now has competition for most useless goalkeeper in the Championship. Step forward Mr Eastwood.
Blackburn Rovers conceding 9 goals in two games, dropping a further 2 points away from the play-offs, and more importantly to you a massive 14 (FOURTEEN) points and 19 (NINETEEN) goals behind the Clarets.
And still they will back Bowyer, you couldn't make it up!

Advanced Searching: Proximity Searching
Proximity searching allows you to search for a two-word phrase with optional words in between, as well as in specific fields. This allows a search of a specific phrase that might exist in collections but with additional terms that prevents exact phrase searching from locating it.
- Enter the first word of the search in the first box, the second term in the second box, and adjust the desired amount of words that could possibly exist between the phrase.
- Select the field in the drop box in which the terms are expected to appear.
- As with searching by Selected Fields, selecting a specific collection will limit the fields offered in the fields drop down menu. Not selecting a collection will simply search the selected fields in all collections.

of course i feel flattered and i would even give them the image for free.
but i read so much about photographer should not work for free and how this undermines the value of photography.
This IS important. Not just with photography, but with any business. I've worked with many ad agencies and have done freelance graphic design (not so much photography that is directly paid for)—but it becomes more and more apparent to me that this concept holds true. With agencies that are always giving their clients "deals" and cutting prices, it's a massive pain to work for because you become the client's bitch. Even though the price only came down a little, the value (in their head) is completely gone. Now they are confident in their position that 'these people need my business', and from then on it's a game of guilt and their low price isn't a "good deal" anymore—it's the norm. Next time they want an even better price, or free (as a 'loyal customer'). You'll learn more and more that the value of your product is almost 100% based on your personal brand/reputation. Being tactful is the difference between having shitty clients like described above, and having clients that are excited to have reserved your time for themselves, and feel confident that their money is well spent.
I guess my advice/moral of the story is, don't be afraid to charge a fair price (the fair price is what you think they should pay—not what the photo is worth to you personally). NEVER give something for free if the client is using it to make himself money, unless there is a clearcut incentive for you to do it and and the client knows that this incentive is the only reason you are dropping your price (which is normally super expensive--but hes getting a special deal).
Just another small thing I've learned: You're typically better off if you don't acknowledge that you're excited about the "exposure" in front of the client.
My reasoning:
- Excitedness can be interpreted as "oh.. hes pumped about this... I can probably get away paying less next time"
- Because it makes the client feel like you might have gotten the better end of the deal
- If only subconsciously, this ruins your value to the client because they have developed their own definition of what you're worth.
I'm definitely not saying to be an asshole to a client. Just don't act super pumped that you have their business.

Everyone has their own special dream about what they would do with the Mega Millions jackpot if they won it. The game is well worth the price of the ticket for the chance it gives you to dream about a future of millions of dollars if only the right numbers come out during the drawing. That is what you are buying, after all. Consider all of the dreams you can have for the price of one dollar in the Mega Millions drawing.
All you have to do is pick six numbers from two different sets of numbers. The first five are chosen from a set of numbers from one to fifty six and the sixth number is chosen from a set of one to forty six numbers. Match all six numbers and the prize jackpot is yours. You will have the opportunity to play a easy pick ticket where the numbers are computer generated for you. But many people like using their favorite numbers and the birth dates and ages of their family and friends. This adds a personal element to the drawing.
This game will give you the chance to choose how you take your winnings should you be so lucky as to hit all six numbers. You can choose the annuity option that gives you annual payments, or you can choose to get the money in one lump sum. There are other prizes that can be won for hitting a lesser amount of the winning numbers.
The jackpots in these games can get up into the millions and there have been some winners of nearly three hundred million dollars. What could you do with that kind of money? It is nearly beyond your imagination to try and spend that kind of money. You could help everyone in your life if you had that kind of money. Surely there are many causes that you would like to help if only you had the money to be able to make a difference.
The price of the ticket is your entry into the world of lottery winning dreams. Buy the home that you have always wanted. Take some time for yourself and see the world. Help countless causes and people in your life with the money that you win. There is virtually no limit to what you can do with the winnings from a Mega jackpot, but for a dollar you buy the right to dream about it.
You can find out more information on where to buy tickets and the participating states on their website. Here you will find out what you can win for a lesser number of winning numbers in the jackpot and how you can play the game. If you have been looking for a chance to dream big, the game gives you that chance. Take a look at some of the past winners and the astounding jackpots that they have won. It is a life altering win. You will never be able to look back again, once you have a Mega jackpot winner in your hand.

INDIA | Tuesday, 17 January 2012 | Views [6012] | Comments [1]
Upward of 5 million foreign tourists flock to India every year. 5 million. That's like if the entire population of Finland boarded airplanes and all flew to another, already over-populated, country. With such a figure in mind it can be difficult to imagine that there really are places to go in India that are well off the beaten path. But the secret beauty of India is that one moment you can feel in the middle of all the hubbub only to turn a corner and enter into the unknown.
Luckily, the millions of visitors to the nation tend to all congregate in what is known as the Golden Triangle – Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. While there is definitely something to be said for these cities, much of the magic of the country is to be found away from the non-stop tourist hustle. Taking a leap off the well-worn path may seem daunting at first, but the benefits of the more authentic experience are certainly worth exploring.
Here are six ways to get out into this massive country and see some of the myriad wonders that India has to offer.
There is no question that Goa is India's most popular beach stop and after a few minutes on it's picturesque beaches there is no wonder why. But with beauty and accessibility come the tourists, the chains, and the lingering question of whether or not paradise has been tainted. If you want to really get away from it all the Andaman Islands, closer to Burma than India, are famous for their untouched beauty, clear-blue seas, and abundantly lush hillsides.
Of course, there are more accessible beach options on the mainland, but the trip to the Andamans promises natural beauty undisturbed. The Galapagos of the East, the isolation of these islands has resulted in the evolution of dozens of endemic animal species, including 32 mammals unique to the islands, and some of the best snorkelling and diving in the world.
If cultural immersion is what you are after, then heading to the spots favoured by the locals is a fascinating look at how Indians holiday. Yes, this path may be a little more worn but it is worn by a different set than the packaged Euros. Generally, the locals tend to favour destinations that allow a break from the heat by heading to the cool and quaint hill stations.
An ever-popular Delhi getaway is Shimla. Only a few hours from the metropolis, Shimla is a relic of the British rule and an unexpected colonial town with panoramic mountain views. As it is the number one destination for Indian honeymooners expect crowds, but crowds of love struck Indians rather than bussed in Germans. Located in Rajasthan, another popular hill station is Mount Abu. Set around a picturesque lake, Mount Abu is known for providing relief from the Rajasthani heat, and boasting loads of Jain Dilwara temples…as well as many vacationing Gujaratis.
Speaking of Gujarat, this large state on India's Western coast is one of the least visited and most highly rewarding. Famed for being one of India's wealthiest states, the dearth of foreign tourists and incredible geography make this stop well worth its salt. Exploring Gujarat could mean heading to the Portuguese seaside town of Diu, seeing the palaces in the university town of Vadodara, or taking in the salt plains at Little Rann.
Gujarat provides a window into a side of India that is far from the snake-charmer stereotype. Mix in the delicious vegetarian fare and the statewide prohibition laws and you have yourself a very unique locale conveniently nestled en route from Rajasthan to Mumbai but far from the well blazed trail.
Most travellers to India are visiting on group tours of the packaged variety. While it may be a little daunting to navigate the nation on your own, just heading out without a tour guide means you'll get farther off the path than most. The simplest way to make your own way is to forego the luxury tours and scenery-missing flights and travel by train. One of the leftover signatures of British colonialism is the nationwide railway network, which today transports roughly 13 million passengers daily.
While journeys between big cities can be taxingly long, it's 16 hours from Delhi to Mumbai, train travel can take you all over the country – on journeys short or long – and give you a taste of authentic India in the process. A much-recommended journey is the toy-train to and from Shimla.
As is the case in the U.S., India's coastal states tend to attract the most tourists. It is certainly nice to navigate the country's periphery but if you want to go where few tourists venture, head to the country's middle. Southern India has popular inland spots including the historic city of Mysore and cosmopolitan Bangalore; or try inland cities of the north like Khajuraho which yields the famed Kama Sutra carvings.
Difficult to get to, but isn't that true for all the best places? Tucked between Nepal and Bhutan, the West Bengal Hills are home to rolling hillsides, stretching tea plantations, and the notorious city of Darjeeling.
Take in nature's beauty on treks through Singalilia National Park with views over Nepal and the Himalayas; ride an historic toy train through the hillsides; spend days lazing around Darjeeling and enjoying the mix of Buddhist temples and colonial buildings. This state is also home to Calcutta, where most of the tourists head, so leave the trail and head north. The unpaved path awaits.
With a country of such magnitude and marvel these six suggestions only scratch the surface. India is so vast and so nuanced that getting off the beaten path can be as subtle as taking the less-travelled Delhi street or as bold as heading into a sleepy snow-covered mountain town. Carve out the trip that you want, get out of the cities as much as possible, and look for those shimmers of the real Indian spark. The untouched is all around, so go explore it.

Reporter: Sally Delta
Lynchburg, VA - It's been four years in the making, and now Liberty University has its very own zip code.
If you plan on sending a package or letter over to Liberty University, the zip code is now 24515. The old 24502 will still work, but it will eventually be phased out of Liberty's system over the next couple of years.
The zip code has become pretty popular over the years. One was given its own TV show - 90210. And locally it's been featured in songs and T-shirts for the O-Foe. Now, Liberty University has its very own to talk about.
"It's exciting," said Phillip Ganzfried.
"I figured it would happen sooner or later and I'm glad it did," said Lisa Worley from the LU Post Office.
Worley has worked at LU's post office for four years.
"I think it's going to make things run a lot smoother and help us get our mail a lot quicker," said Worley.
She says the new zip code is going to ease a lot of confusion for those sorting the mail as well as those sending it.
"For a few years there we were having to use one zip code for anything going through the post office. We were having to use a different zip code for anything going through FedEx or UPS -that was confusing for a lot of students and parents," said Worley.
Externally, the 24515 now stands as a marker for Liberty. As the school continues to grow and build, no matter where Liberty goes the 1-5 will go with it.
"It almost makes Liberty its own entity with the U.S. Post Office. It's almost like a small town," said Bob Boyer, director of LU Postal Services.
But it wasn't an easy process. The university had to get approval from the local, regional and national level post offices to make this change.
"I think it is a proud accomplishment, this is something that the US Post office doesn't do anymore, they've really phased out the program giving unique zip codes, unless there's a big reason why and that's why it took 4 years," said Boyer.
"I think it'll be a lot of fun to boast our own thing. Liberty's gotten so big now that it takes up its own zip code," said Ganzfried.
Boyer says going from several zip codes to one will also help the school better communicate as an organization.

dear mr. spielberg,
you are a visionary and great sentimental storyteller. and you believe in aliens. i am not so powerful but like yourself, i do believe that technology will remain a powerful force in the future. oh, and i believe in e.t. too. i'm convinced your senior friends at sony let you sneak peek this incredible technology from their computer science labs. i'm no user interface designer but i sure appreciated the tech demo (it's a doozy at 30 megs but worth the download). what i see looks unreal, but it appears legit.
jun rekimoto, director of the interaction lab looks real too -- although younger than i would've guessed. his interests are in "designing a new human computer interaction style for highly portable computers, that will be situation-aware and assistance-oriented rather than command oriented." before 2010, he expects, "that such computers will be as commonplace as today's Walkmans, electronic hearing aids, eyeglasses, and wristwatches."
so what do you think? the future is now, huh? i can't wait!
all my best,
p.s. with "war of the worlds", were you trying to tell us you saw something else behind closed doors?
p.p.s. sony, i would like to visit your laboratories. i have a blockbuster sci fi screenplay to squeeze out too.

With the Iowa caucuses six weeks away, Democratic presidential candidates are finally beginning to pay detailed attention to agricultural issues, the president of the Iowa Farmers Union told Dien Judge of the Iowa Independent, a good online site for grass-roots coverage of the campaigns in the Hawkeye State.
"Agricultural issues have largely gone under the radar throughout most of the caucus campaign season, despite the fact that Iowa is ground zero in the race for the presidency," Judge writes. "But some of the candidates are beginning to show an understanding of the importance of issues relating to agriculture. In an interview this week with Iowa Independent, Iowa Farmers Union president Chris Petersen said that some of the candidates are now 'seeing the light.'"
At IFU's Nov. 10 "Food and Family Farm Presidential Summit" in Des Moines, no Republican candidates attended, "but Democrats Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton all made their case to the organization's members," Judge writes. For the Independent's blog of the event, click here. IFU "oes not endorse candidates in caucus or primary elections, Petersen said, but individual members are encouraged to support or endorse candidates regardless of party," Judge writes. (Read more)

EVOLUTION 3 tops our line, with brilliant lighting features, plus greater blower control including a Boost mode that serious cooks will adore. Even at high power modes it is remarkably quiet. A sealed, advanced electronic touch panel with clock and timer provides all the control features you expect, and an optional handheld remote means control is always within reach.
Everything changes. Lifestyles, needs, and for that matter—wants. Sometimes change happens fast, and at other times it takes a more measured pace. And that describes the Broan EVOLUTION Series perfectly. A decade ago, Broan's Allure series set the new standard in undercabinet range hood design. We listened to what consumers wanted most and wrapped their desires in a revolutionary design. But as times change, tastes and needs evolve too. That is the impetus behind Broan EVOLUTION Series. It's what comes next.
Beauty that's meant to be used. Some products beg to be touched, and rigorously used every day. You can see it in features that work intuitively, smartly, and prove the design team considered function hand in hand with form. In the Broan EVOLUTION Series it's easy to see this attention to detail. Lighting output is dramatically enhanced, and capture effectiveness has improved due to larger filters (15–40 percent larger). Plus, a sloped bottom design directs smoke into filters. Smooth surfaces, a fully-enclosed bottom and dishwasher-safe filters reduce the time needed to keep up with appearances. You can hear the differences too, complements of a 40 percent reduction in sound. So you can work beneath it, and entertain beside it. In the Broan EVOLUTION Series, we built in what matters most.

Our QP330SS is a good quality workhorse. The multi level exhaust is versatile and works well. Fan low speeds are very quiet. We use the lower speeds for normal cooking and simmering. For roasting, broiling, searing, frying, and baking foods that smoke or give off odors, the higher speeds work well. The boost feature is great for smokey events that demand serious effort.... no need to worry about setting off a smoke alarm. Multiple light brightness levels are useful. The lights are appropriately very bright for cooking and appropriately low or very low, at our option, at other times. The automatic nightlight function is a useful feature. The QP330SS is an easy to use, good quality, and highley functional product. The minimalistic styling is appealing and looks good in our traditional, open concept kitchen- dinning- family living space. The brushed stainless steel finish is acceptable but not quite as nice as we would prefer. The hood and filter screens are easy to clean. After more than three years of daily use, we are very pleased with our purchase.

Within 7 months of purchasing & installing hood the lights will only stay on the brightest setting, we cannot turn them off, and subsequently have had to pull all lights so now we are without that feature. Your local dealer Standard TV & Appliance have been on a marathon seesion trying to figure out what is wrong. The have replaced the lighting control panel to no avail. They will next be looking at replacing the main circuit board. To be honest with you I feel like we have purchased a real lemon. We will not be going back to either your dealer or buying another Broan product again.

Stylish and Quite
By icmorgan75
from San Marcos, CA, USA
This unit was pretty straight forward to install. We love the clean styling and the fan is very quite for an range hood. Ample lighting, The night light feature is nice. One dismay - the clock does not keep accurate time. We are very happy though overall.
Great product
By kbd13
from Mill Creek, PA
I installed this range hood expecting it to be just as loud or worse than the older Broan unit I had in before but to my surprise it is very quiet. My wife and I are also very pleased with the lighting on the QP330SS range hood.
i like this unit but
By retired
from nj
this is a good unit but the auto fan heat sensor is a bad thing , i have a eat in kitchen and with no control over the fan with high temps it gets loud and can,t hear some others in the room .i should be able to turn off and on when i want to operate the fan .other that i like it
The settings on the fan are confusing.
By chchh
from California, USA
The fan has great looks and does the job. The light has a terrible habit of coming on at night. I thought it was broken. Turns out the default setting is to have the lights on at night. I have trouble remembering how to reset the program after power outages. The setting buttons are confusing to me.
WOW, Great exhaust hood!
By Moondoggy
from South Central Pennsylvania
During our kitchen re-model my wife selected this exhaust hood. Easy to install, stainless steel perfectly matched the rest of our SS appliances. Exhaust fans work great and are not that noisy...can still hear TV while they are running. Love the way the work lights dim to on and off, very cool. Was a little confusing at first learning all the features but after living with unit now for several months it is becoming 2nd nature. Would highly recommend this unit to anyone. A little expensive...but remember you get what you pay for and this unit is worth every dollar spent.
Automatic increase in exhaust fan speed as temperature of the stove increases.
By ray09

Very professional and clean looking unit. Night light feature is great and the auto sensor to increase the speed of the exhaust fan is fabulous.
Love it!
By Kerry14

Looks good, has a quiet fan that vents odors out well (we vented it outdoors). It also has great lighting and works perfectly. Love the automated night light. Cleaning is easy.

We don't need another clock nor do we need a night light. Those are silly additions. The unit did malfunction in less than a year in the full on exhaust mode because a sensor malfunctioned. I'd rather have a better sensor than a clock etc.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
This has worked well for us

My only complaint is that the clock does NOT keep good time.

Earlier today very reliable Swiss Ramble published (via twitter feed @SwissRamble) finance information regarding football clubs in French Ligue 1 (wages, turnover, commercial incomes, etc). Among those tweets, there was one particulary interesting:
#Ligue1 largest profits on player sales made by Lille €54m, thanks to sales of Eden Hazard, Gervinho and Moussa Sow. twitter.com/SwissRamble/st…— Swiss Ramble (@SwissRamble) March 12, 2013
First thing on my mind was Eden Hazard's reported price tag 32 (BBC sources) or even 35 (Telegraph sources) million pounds. As his transfer was finalized on 4th June of 2012, it's included in 2011/12 financial summaries and therefore in 54 million euros mentioned in tweet above.
In the same period Moussa Sow was sold to Fenerbachce and Gervinho to Arsenal. Sow's reported price is from 10 to 13 million euros (we will go with €12m reported by lequipe.fr). Price of Gervinho is very similar to Sow and lequipe.fr states 12 million euro. I dig little deeper and have found out that also Emerson transfer to Benfica should be include in 2011/12 financial books (it's 2 million euro as far as I was able to find) and Ludovic Obraniak to Bordeaux (lequipe.fr reports 1 million euro).
Using simple math, we end up with remaining 27 million euro, what should be real Eden Hazard price tag. Actually, it's not that simple and we have to exclude remaining amortized costs of departed players. I will do it just give or take, because it's a few millions. Eden Hazard came form Lille U19, Moussa Sow on free transfer, Obraniak amortized cost was almost zero, same can be said about Emerson, only Gervinho joined Lille for 6 million pounds on 3-year deal in summer 2009 (that give us 2 million euro needed to be excluded).
We can easily round off the price to 30 million euro (25 million pounds). That's not that much, huh? If the same can be said about his wages and agent fee, that's cracking transfer.

After what has been the calmest period in a decade on the Israel-Gaza Strip border, southern Israel found itself facing a new threat of rockets, the murder of a Defense Ministry employee and near-daily provocations on the border.
Terror attacks and attempted terror attacks are proliferating across Judea and Samaria, and inside Israel as well, featuring the use of rocks as a lethal weapon. Popular uprising or not, violence among the Palestinians is on the rise. The semi-official theory is that the increase in terrorist activity stems from some Palestinians' desire to derail the peace talks by any means necessary, including terror and murder.
This is why the government and the Israel Defense Forces are making sure to carefully formulate proportional responses -- to avoid playing into the hands of Palestinian provocateurs.
Still, experience has shown that the Palestinians do not view peace talks and terrorism as mutually exclusive. Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are accountable for terrorist attacks even in the absence of evidence indicating direct orders by either. The relentless incitement by the Palestinian media and various statements by Palestinian leaders makes them accountable; not to mention that -- according to the legal codes of most countries -- knowingly failing to prevent a crime is the same as perpetrating it.
But what is even more important than assigning responsibility for the recent wave of violence is applying its lessons and ramifications to any future peace and security deal between Israel and the PA, especially the framework agreements being drafted by the United States, which U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is so eager to present the parties in January.
On the surface at least, the Palestinian claim they are sparing no effort to curtail violence against Israel. Even if they were being completely truthful, only a gullible person would believe the Palestinians' counterterrorism efforts would be any more tenacious or effective after the establishment of a Palestinian state.
The conclusions drawn from recent events are likely to have a critical effect on the security arrangements discussed between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Kerry, who stands to visit the region once again primarily to discuss Israel's security conditions. One cannot help but feel the Americans are making light of the issue, and that they believe the Palestinian security forces can be trusted to get the job done.
Reality has proven them wrong and we cannot afford to make such a mistake. The recent wave of violence may have come just in time -- to dispel illusions, if any still exist, and to reinforce Israel's demand, which was approved as part of the outline presented in Camp David in 1978, for a permanent security presence within the future Palestinian entity.
Some might argue that the existing Israeli presence in the area has done little to prevent violence; but the chasm gaping between the current, disturbing situation and a situation in which acts of terror would emanate from a sovereign country, cannot be bridged by even the best American intentions.
This context lends particular importance to the issue of Israel's presence in the Jordan Valley. Security concerns do not boil down to solely fighting Palestinian terror, as important as that may be, but must also address -- maybe even more so -- the threats brewing from the east, including Iran's hegemonic ambitions (regardless of whether it obtains nuclear capability, but certainly if it has one); Iraq and Syria, whose futures are unclear; and maybe even Jordan, which may find itself the focus of Palestinian aspirations.
Some in Israel tend to dismiss the importance of strategic depth and ground-based obstacles in the age of missiles and cyberwarfare, but they shouldn't, considering Israel's narrow width and long borders.

PhD defence of Arjan Non on Thursday 6 October 2011
On Thursday 6 October 2011 Arjan Non will defend his PhD thesis entitled 'Do ut Des: Incentives, Reciprocity, and Organizational Performance'. Supervisor is Professor Robert Dur.
Time and location
The PhD defence will take place in the Senate Hall of Erasmus University Rotterdam and will start at 13.30 hrs.
About the PhD thesis
Economists have traditionally stressed the importance of monetary incentives for employee motivation, to the exclusion of other relevant motives. One of these motives is reciprocity, meaning that people respond in kind to hostile and friendly acts. Reciprocity implies that workers are more willing to go the extra mile when they perceive their employer as generous. The first part of this thesis explores theoretically how monetary incentives influence, and are influenced by, worker reciprocity. For example, assuming workers reciprocate the kindness of their employer,
I examine the optimal combination of fixed wage and piece rates. Second, assuming workers are reciprocal towards management attention, I show that offering promotion incentives is more attractive than offering individual performance pay. Analysis of GSOEP-data reveals a strong positive relation between an individual's reciprocity and the probability that he receives promotion incentives. The second part of this thesis presents the results of two field experiments designed to test predictions from tournament theory. Both experiments are conducted in a Dutch retail chain. The first experiment aims to test how intermediate performance feedback affects subsequent performance. The second experiment is designed to test predictions on prize spread and noise in a two-stage elimination tournament. We find evidence largely in line with these predictions.
About Arjan Non
Arjan Non was born in Ridderkerk in 1983. He started studying Economics at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in 2002. He graduated in 2006. Afterwards, he joined the Tinbergen Institute as a PhD-student at the Department of Economics at Erasmus University. Supervised by Prof. Dur, he conducted research on employer-employee relations and incentives at the workplace, which is published in this thesis. A part of this thesis (chapter 3) has been published in the Journal of Economic Psychology, chapter 2 is in revise and resubmit at Games and Economic Behavior. Apart from doing research, he taught the second-year course Personnel Economics and the Master Seminar Games, Strategy and Markets. Also, he acted as teaching assistant for the second-year courses Personnel Economics and History of Economic Thought. Currently, he just started as a post-doctoral researcher at Maastricht University & The Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA). He will work on sorting into incentive schemes under supervision of Prof. Dohmen.

Getting Ready for Voter Photo ID Law
Chattanooga areal election commissions and advocacy groups are rolling out campaigns to educate people about a new Tennessee law that requires registered voters to present photo identification at the polls, reports the Times -Free Press.
Election commissioners say they worry that people don't know or understand the new requirements. Senior and minority groups are concerned that the law, which will go into effect Jan. 1, creates voting "hurdles" for groups less likely to have photo IDs, including seniors, minorities and young voters.
.... "People don't realize this is a law; people are angry," said Hamilton County Election Administrator Charlotte Mullis-Morgan.

Snooky's is a lovely face climb up the obvious vertical thin seam and crack between Beginner's Delight and Minty. The good news is that the climbing is continuous and fun. The bad news is that it's directly in the rappel line for both Beginner's Delight and Minty - it's not uncommon for newer parties, with less experience in rappelling and/or etiquette, to send ropes and pebbles down without warning. Or to insist/assume that you will wait to finish your lead until all four of them have passed. But I digress ...
Descent: There are bolts and rap chains on top of P1 (one 60m; please be considerate, and refrain from gang-roping P1!). Tree rappels from the tops of P2 (two 60m to the ground) and P3.
P1: Mostly smaller nuts and/or cams. Consider zipper potential, and possible groundfall potential from the low crux (a #3 BD stopper works well).

do you "show your legs" at church?
or do you hide them?
i'm not really speaking in terms of outward appearance, but more in terms of INward appearance. i've been thinking about this… just how "human" should those in ministry be? i know we are to set an example of holiness and faithfulness…
but, aren't we also to set an example of those who are striving day by day to walk out our faith while wrapped in flesh?
3 Responses to "do you "show your legs" at church?"
I wore shorts and a henley sweater to church this morning. We're fairly laid back, and it's just me. Not showing that much leg, not as much as the nuns anyway.
I believe that Church is the Holy place for Christians and every religion people should respect there religion and holy place and while respecting it's must that every one should not show there legs at a Church who ever this is my suggestion or my own answer for the question.
[...] few days ago I read this post over at Mandy's blog, and have been intrigued by her question… How human should those [...]

For 30 years, City Harvest has helped bring food to those in need. It is the world's first — and New York City's only — food rescue organization.
City Harvest collects excess food from restaurants, grocers, farms and other sources and then delivers food free of charge to hundreds of community organizations.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The Biggest Loser: Sweat, Tears & Trainers!
It's an incredible organization with a big heart that helps to feed more than a million New Yorkers, who might otherwise go hungry.
City Harvest's do-good deeds are endless. It's attracted the attention of celebrities everywhere, from tennis superstar Rafael Nadal to celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson to singer Kelly Clarkson – they've helped fund-raise and done actual volunteering.
Healthy Hollywood can't say enough about City Harvest and all the positive actions it takes to curb New York City's hunger issues.

So, I was super excited when the City Harvest crew invited me to see their latest initiative firsthand. It's called Healthy Neighborhoods. City Harvest sets up mobile fruit and vegetable markets in impoverished areas in each of the five boroughs. They happen twice a month. "The mobile market was born out of the idea to get as much fresh produce into the neighborhoods. As we worked on the program and learned more, we realized people needed more than just free food," states Jennifer McLean, V.P. of Community Impact at City Harvest.
Jennifer and her team decided to not only offer fresh, free produce, but also teach folks how to make healthy meals. Getting nutritious food into the homes is one thing, but it's another to know simple recipes to make the dishes tasty for the whole family.
"We hope to achieve a long-term impact in the fight against hunger by teaching residents about healthy meal choices and enhancing the food landscape. For many people that City Harvest serves, healthy food is unavailable and unaffordable. With the price of food on the rise, many people turn to less expensive foods to feed themselves and their families which unfortunately can be unhealthy. In turn, diseases related to poor nutrition tend to be concentrated where demand for emergency food is greatest," adds Jennifer.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hollywood's Hottest Beach Bodies — The Guys!
I visited City Harvest's Healthy Neighborhood market in Washington Heights. I arrived at 10 a.m. and there were hundreds of folks lined up waiting to get their free food in the 90-degree heat. Now, that's dedication!
I was told some of them began to line up before the crack of dawn. There were sacks of potatoes, corn on the cob, carrots, fruits and lots of greens being handed out. So, these folks are eager to learn about healthy foods and to feed their families better.

"Top Chef" and owner of NYC's Pig & Khao, Leah Cohen, was there making plates of her Grilled Beef Salad with Noodles. She also handed out recipe cards, so her dish could easily be re-created at home. "Cooking demonstrations are important because participants gain knowledge of ingredients in a healthy recipe, have the ability to taste how delicious healthy foods can be, and ultimately get the confidence to cook healthy foods at home. And, there is no financial risk – participants can taste the recipe first to know that it tastes good, and their kids can taste it so that parents will know if they like it," explains Jennifer to Healthy Hollywood.

0More Bad News On The Keri Russell Front: She And Her Husband Separated
Which is scarier: a home invasion or a separation? Keri Russell experienced both. She and her husband, Shane Deary, are separating after almost 7 years of marriage, her rep told Us. Apparently it happened over the summer. The two were married on Valentine's Day in 2007 and have 2 young children.
Bad week for Ms. Russell, although I suppose since they split over the summer she's had some time to deal with it, whereas we're hearing all of this now. And I know how hard it will be for Evil Beet readers to cope with this. You guys are constantly demanding Keri Russell news. It's like, guys, let her live her life!
All tomfoolery aside, I hope things get better for her soon.

1Keri Russell's Home Burglary Sounds Terrifying
Keri Russell was robbed. Of a career! (Baddum-bum-tiss!) No but seriously, folks, she was robbed and it sounds terrifying. People snuck into her Brooklyn apartment while she was sleeping and stole her stuff. From People:
"The break-in did happen," the actress's rep tells PEOPLE. "Everyone is fine, and Keri sends her thanks to the police."
A laptop, jewelry said to be earrings and a purse were taken around 3 a.m. Wednesday, reports the Associated Press. Although asleep at the time, Russell, 37, awoke to hear footsteps and voices in the apartment, then she called 911.
While Russell never saw the intruders, police said afterwards that she found a window and front door open and her items missing.
Nearby, a 70-year-old neighbor awoke to find a burglar inside and called 911 with a description, according to AP. After canvassing the area, reports New York's Daily News, police found and arrested an alleged uncle-nephew cat burglar team, as well as recovered some of Russell's stolen property.
Poor Ms. Russell. All she's doing is chilling out, living her normal life, getting her stuff stolen in the dead of night while she's inside the place. Does this not freak anyone else out?
Unrelated note: the older Keri Russell gets, the more I see Aunt Becky from Full House.

19Keri Russell Thinks Real Life Is Kinda Just As Good As Being Famous
Ah, Keri Russell – another actress who seems relatively mediocre yet charmingly… charming and could stand being in more films/TV shows. I mean, Felicity (girl, that hair!) was over in 2002 and the amazingness that was Waitress came out long enough ago that it's been syndicated on network TV (2007, IMDB tells me), so what's the deal? Well, it's simple: she kinda doesn't care all that much about being famous and thinks having kids and a partner – and, you know, a normal life – are pretty swell, too.
From Parade:
"I like working hard, but my life outside of my career is equally important to me. Maybe I'm not ambitious enough, but I'm just as interested in my friends and my relationship with my family."
She and husband Shane Deary have two kids together – a 5-year-old and a 1-year-old – and Russell credits motherhood with gifting her with a strong grip on reality:
"You instantly become less selfish. You can't be the biggest person in the world anymore—they are. It really grounds you."
I think it's kind of bullshit when people act like you need to have kids in order to get your head out of your own ass, but I suppose we're all on our own paths in life. Namaste… or whatever.

Does this mean Keri will get really, really wasted at the VMAs next year and go up on stage and be all like "This world is bullshit. And you shouldn't model your life — wait a second — you shouldn't model your life about what you think that we think is cool and what we're wearing and what we're saying and everything. Go with yourself. Go with yourself" and then stumble off?*
Then I don't care.

Brooklyn Nets are now in playoff against Chicago Bulls.
Is it gonna be hard? Sure it is. In regular season, Nets have 1-3 against Bulls which means they didn't play good vs them. Nets couldn't break Bulls' defense as well, so they lost energy pretty quick especially on 2nd half. So, even though Bulls didn't have a good offense, they still got wins from Nets. Nets didn't have a great set of offense and defense. So most people even experts and analysis probably would think Bulls gonna win this series.
But I'm not gonna predict this series which is gonna win. I will just wait for the win this series. Here is my thought how Nets can beat Bulls in playoff.
1. Nets should break Bulls defense
It means Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, and Brook Lopez must show the great offense to break this team. Fortunately, Bulls have not a player who can make this team change to win. Derrick Rose is coming, right? But, this is his first game of the season if he is coming at this time. Whatever he looks healthy, this is not a good time to play at the first time. Deron is not easy to play against.
Anyway, so, if Nets would keep making the score and lead until the end, they can be possible to win. It looks quite natural answer, but I want to say especially Bulls.
2. Reggie Evans is not good match for Carlos Boozer
Well, probably most Nets fans know, Reggie Evans couldn't take a good match against Carlos Boozer. Evans usually played bad against good scoring power forwards with 6-8 or 6-9 size. He couldn't grab the rebound as usual, either. They are fast and taller than Evans, so Evans had a lot of trouble against them.
I would rather pick Gerald Wallace or Andray Blatche to defend Boozer or Taj Gibson. Okay, if I have to pick one of them, I want to see Wallace to defend Boozer. Boozer is not that big size, so Wallace can defend him with good hustle and power play.
3. The key player of the Nets is Brook Lopez
Brook Lopez should play against Joakim Noah. This gonna be big match and hardship. Lopez must play aggressive than regular season games. He must show why he is the all-star in this season. He should not just play one good quarter and bad rest of quarters. Play the best all of the quarter! That's how to win.
4. Do not forget defense
I keep talking about offense, but it doesn't mean that Nets is okay for defense. If Nets doesn't want to play defense up, they will lose. This fact probably know all the Nets players. Nets are not good defensive team. They need to play better. Grab more rebounds! Rebound is the best weapon of Nets.
Any comments about Nets vs Bulls?
Thank you for reading this.
