Horned Frogs Fall to Longwood Tuesday Night
Nov. 12, 2013
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Highlights
FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU took a lead midway through the second half Tuesday night, but eventually fell to Longwood at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, 82-79.
Trailing 78-74 with 21.9 showing on the clock, the Horned Frogs forced a turnover and then watched as freshman Brandon Parrish buried a three ball to pull the Frogs within one at 78-77. After a late free throw by the Lancers' Leron Fisher, junior Kyan Anderson tied the game at 79-79 with 7.1 seconds left and the Frogs appeared to be on their way to forcing overtime. Longwood had other ideas though as Lucas Woodhouse nailed a deep trey with 1.7 seconds left to escape the DMC with an 82-79 victory.
It was a tale of two halves for the Frogs (0-2) Tuesday night as the Purple and White used a 13-0 run to open the second half to regain their composure and eventually take the lead at the 8:43 mark on a Michael Williams triple. In the end though, the Frogs, who shot 60 percent from the field in the second half, couldn't hold on down the stretch despite forcing the Lancers into 16 turnovers.
TCU was led on the night by Anderson's 17 points on 5-of-10 from the field, which included a 14-point effort in the second period on 5-of-7 from the floor. Senior Jarvis Ray and Parrish chipped in with 15 and 13 points, respectively. Williams rounded out the Horned Frogs double-digit scores with an 11-point outing.
Longwood, now 1-1 on the season, was carried by Tristan Carey who netted 31 points Tuesday. He did most of his damage from deep, going 7-of-12 from behind the arc. Karl Ziegler also had a solid night, scoring 14 points on 7-of-10 from the field.
TCU came out of the gates swinging in the second half as Ray threw down a thunderous dunk on the opening possession of the period. The senior then found Karviar Shepherd inside the paint at the 18:40 mark and watched as the Dallas native connected on a tough three-point play to make the scoreboard read 40-32.
By the time Anderson drove the lane and found the bottom of the net, the Frogs were in the midst of a 13-0 run to tie the game at 40-40 during early stages of the second half. In all, TCU's intense defensive pressure did most of the damage, as the Frogs didn't allow Longwood to score from the field until the 16:09 mark of the second frame of play.
With the scoreboard reading 45-40 in slight favor of the Lancers, Anderson went back to work five minutes in, scoring on a running jumper, but Longwood answered with a layup on the other end to bring the score to 47-42.
The two teams would go back and forth the next couple of trips, but Williams would split two defenders and connect on a finger roll at the 10:50 mark to pull the Frogs within 52-47 at the halfway point. On the very next possession, Parrish tickled the twine from deep and TCU was within two at 52-50, but Longwood continued to battle, scoring a layup on the other end.
A triple by Williams with 8:32 showing on the scoreboard gave TCU a 55-54 lead, but once again the Lancers responded with yet another timely bucket to go back on top by one. Christian Gore, who seemed to spark the Frogs throughout the second half, regained the TCU lead on the next trip, but it was short lived as Longwood bounced back to pull back on top at 61-59.
With the scoreboard reading 61-61 at the 5:14 mark, Gore calmly stepped to the line and cashed in on two-straight, which regained the Frog lead, but Carey drilled one of his seven trey balls from the corner to recapture the Longwood advantage at 64-63.
The two teams continued to battle down the stretch and the Frogs pulled within one twice in the closing seconds, but couldn't get off a final shot following Woodhouse's deep three.
Longwood jumped out to a 9-0 lead early, but Ray ended the run, banking home a jumper five minutes into the opening frame of play to pull the Frogs within seven. A few plays later, Shepherd went to work down low and TCU continued to chip away at the Lancer lead, bringing the score to 12-6 with a little over 13 minutes to go in the period.
With the scoreboard reading 19-10 in slight favor of Longwood, Parrish tickled the twine from the deep corner to ignite the Frogs and push the scoreboard to 19-13 midway through the first period. Ray then proceeded to score on a running jumper at the 9:08 mark and the Frogs were off and running, trailing by only four at 19-15.
The 5-0 run was short lived though as Longwood recaptured the momentum at 25-15 in the closing minutes of the first half. Anderson put a halt to the Lancer attack, drilling three-straight at the charity stripe to move the Frogs within 25-18 with a little over six minutes to go. Shepherd would keep the offensive attack going a few moments later, draining a deep jumper to make the score 25-20 at the 5:17 mark.
The two teams would go back and forth down the stretch, but Longwood was able to stretch its lead to 40-27 at the break despite an old fashioned three-point play by Charles Hill Jr. with 25.4 seconds to go in the period.
TCU returns to action Tuesday, Nov. 19 against Abilene Christian. Start time in the DMC is set for 7:00 p.m. CT and will be shown live on FOX Sports Southwest +.

Biking is a hobby that has taken Tim Harendt down a variety of roads, but a year ago Tim traveled a different type of road, one that left him wondering if he would ever get back on his bike again. Last January, Tim discovered a bump, which was quickly diagnosed as testicular cancer. Along with the diagnosis came the discovery that the cancer had spread to his lung.
"I was two weeks into my final semester of college so I went back to school not knowing if I was going to get to graduate," says Tim.
At 22, the diagnosis was a complete surprise to both Tim and his family as well.
"We were shocked. You know we have no cancer of any kind in our family," says Susie, Tim's mom.
|Ask HealthWise...
For Tim it was a huge bump in the road. After a major surgery, Tim began an even more difficult journey. While receiving chemo treatments in Lubbock, Tim resumed his classes in Abilene at Hardin Simmons University. With the constant driving back and forth, Tim knew he needed something to smooth out the path on his road to recovery.
"I made a bunch of shirts for my friends that said "cancer sucks" and it had a little monster and it was a way that they could support me and it was something that really made me smile," says Tim.
Soon people began approaching Tim and his friends wanting to find out where they could purchase the shirt, but there were others who questioned Tim's choice of words.
"Personally I think this is the nicest way you can say it. There really are just some things in the world that suck and cancer is one of them," says Tim.
"It's not an appropriate word for everything but apparently for cancer it's very appropriate," says Mike, Tim's dad.
Now Tim sells the shirts and other products on line. A portion of the proceeds go back into the business but the rest of the profits go to cancer research. But today's bike ride isn't just for pleasure, you see surviving cancer has allowed Tim to discover he can overcome anything, a reason why Tim is training for a ride across Texas.
|Local Photographer Battles Colon Cancer
"I was laying in the hospital bed after my surgery and I told my uncle, whose really the one that got me started riding bikes, that I wanted to ride across Texas when I got out of here, when this all ended," added Tim.
And that is exactly what Tim is going to do in early October, along with a few family members and friends.
"We're going to go from Texline to Galveston in 10 days. It's a little over 1,000 miles," says Tim.
With the help of friends like Chuck Colbert, who is helping search for corporate sponsors, Tim hopes his ride will raise $10,000 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
So now Tim and his bike will travel further than they ever have before. Although this road will present its' challenges, for Tim it will be a reminder of how far he has come and how much farther he has to go in the ride of his life.

Uncovering Europe's best budget hotels since 2001.
Home > Travel Blog > Rome > Rome Practical Info >
Public transportation strikes are extremely common in Rome (there was one just a fortnight ago). They usually get called with a couple of days notice and have the potential to disrupt even the most carefully laid travel plans.
But you can avoid the headaches of "scioperi" (strikes) by keeping an eye out for upcoming strikes and making alternative arrangements to ensure you're not left stranded and out of pocket.
How to find out about upcoming strikes
There are many websites that announce upcoming strikes in Italy, but not too many that do it in English. The website of your local embassy in Rome is a pretty good place to start. Other options:
• The British Embassy in Rome almost always announces upcoming strikes.
• A couple of other city-specific websites usually have info on upcoming industrial action, including AngloInfo and Wanted in Rome.
If you speak a little Italian, there are several more sources, including:
• The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport
• The Strikes Commission Website (yes, it really exists)
• For train strikes, see the Ferrovie dello Stato website.
Signs of a strike
If you're in Rome, keep an eye out for any signs around Metro, bus and tram stops that might signal any upcoming strikes. The information is usually in Italian, and may not be very obvious to the passer by (the signs might only be a couple of A4 pieces of paper taped somewhere). The magic word is "Sciopero" – if you see this written anywhere (accompanied by dates and times) it might be a sign that strike has been called.
Another tip: Ask the receptionist in your hotel. They'll definitely be able to tell you if any upcoming industrial action. They might also be able to help you arrange alternative transport on the day the strike is planned.
What to do when there is a strike
What you do in the event of a strike really depends on the length of strike, which services will be affected and what are your plans.
Unless the strike is a "general transport strike," not all services will be out of action. Because of the different types of transport in Rome (and in Italy) it can actually be tricky working out what services will be out of action (e.g. sometimes buses are involved, but not Metro trains. Or Regional trains are frozen, but not the Metro). Private city tour buses will almost never be part of industrial action by city transport workers.
Hours: Strikes can occur on weekdays or weekends. They often go for 24 hours – from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, then again from 8 pm until the following morning. There is sometimes a break mid-strike to let commuters return home after work.
If you are planning to visit tourist attractions on the day of the strike, then you should travel by public transport before 8:30 am. Although limited bus services sometimes run during strikes, extensive cancellations should always be expected and you should expect to be "stranded" at least between the hours of 8:30 and 5:00 pm.
Wear your walking shoes, take plenty of water, and start your day somewhere within walking distance of Rome's best attractions (I recommend Colosseum – Metro B).
Getting to the airport during a strike
Rome's Leonardo Express service between Termini station and Fiumicino Airport often runs as normal, even in the case of general strikes. If you have to catch a plane, and had planned to take the Leonardo Express from Termini to Fiumicino Airport, you might need to catch a taxi from your hotel to get to Termini Station.
If the Leonardo Express is not running, then a private shuttle bus is probably the cheapest alternative. Your hotel or hostel will probably be able to recommend one – but beware – you could still spend €70 or more per person. (One option is: http://www.rome-airport-shuttle.it.)
Remember – your airline (or connecting bus or train company) will probably not care (or refund your ticket) if you miss your connection because of a public transport strike. Inform yourself the second you learn about an upcoming transport strike and begin considering your options.
If you're in a jam, call your airline or connecting bus or train company and ask their advice as to what to do. They usually have English speaking staff that will be able to help you consider your options and minimize any major disruptions to your travel plans.
Thanks for the info on Rome transit strikes. I am a transit union activist/writer in San Francisco, CA. Active in a local BART contract. I've heard that in modern history, Rome transit workers opened faregates to let people ride free for a brief time. I'm looking to confirm this. Can you confirm or point to a confirmation. I don't speak italian, but can have friends that do. Thanks in advance for any time on this. Understand if you don't have time. Ciao, Gino

New arrivals boost Tividale squad
Updated 3:16pm Monday 30th June 2014 in Sport
TIVIDALE have snapped up three new players ahead of the coming campaign.
Forward Nigel Penny has arrived at The Beeches from Halesowen Town and been joined by former Tipton Town and Coleshill striker Jordan Archer.
The pacey forwards will offer more options up front as Tivi look to make their mark in the Northern Premier League Division One South.
Commanding centre back Jamie Willets has also signed from Stourport Swifts.
A host of players who helped the club secure Midland Alliance and JW Hunt Cup glory last season have also signed up as manager Ian Long's squad starts to take shape.
Mitchell Plows and defender Mark Smith have also committed for the 2014/15 season. News of their signings comes a week after 11 of last season's double-winning side also signed up.
Matt Jukes, one of the club's current longest serving players, has also put pen to paper. He spent most of last season on the sidelines with injury but made a promising return towards the end of the campaign.

Mustard Based Barbecue Sauces find their origins in the Carolinas and Georgia and are the perfect BBQ sauce for pork whether you are talking whole hog, pork shoulder, or BBQ ribs. These sauces add a savory, tart flavor to barbecue, but are also great on many foods you grill or smoke. Try a mustard sauce next time you are grilling burgers, pork chops, or even chicken. A good mustard sauce gives you a break from the traditional tomato based barbecue sauces.
1. Big Daddy's Carolina Style Barbecue Sauce
2. Mustard Sauce
Next time you want something different try a mustard based barbecue sauce so you can see what you are missing. This barbecue sauce has a rich, tangy, and savory flavor that is perfect on pork, but also great on chicken. This sauce isn't sweet, but it is flavorful.

02-05-13 *NRCS-CO News* COLORADO'S SNOWPACK REMAINS BELOW AVERAGE…
Posted by Brian Allmer on February 5, 2013
Denver, CO – February 5, 2013 – Snowpack accumulation during January can simply be summed up as; better late than never! Weather patterns in Colorado were largely dominated by high pressure systems this past month and things remained dry throughout most of January. The storm system that finally brought some snow to Colorado during the last week of January has improved snowpack conditions statewide. Unfortunately these storms were not enough to boost the statewide snowpack to normal conditions. Recent snow surveys conducted by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) show that Colorado's snowpack continues to track below the long-term average, according to Phyllis Ann Philipps, State Conservationist. As of February 1, the statewide snowpack was at 72 percent of normal and 90 percent of last year's readings at this same time. The statewide snowpack percentage has remained nearly constant for two consecutive months (it was 70 percent of normal on January 1).
The southwest portion of the state benefitted the most from the recent storms. The greatest increase was measured in the combined San Miguel, Dolores, Animas and San Juan basins whose February 1 snowpack was at 88 percent of normal; up from 70 percent of normal measured on January 1. In the Rio Grande basin the snowpack jumped 13 percentage points this past month, to 78 percent of normal as of February 1. The Arkansas basin also showed overall gains in snowpack percentage, increasing from 61 percent on January 1 to 63 percent on February 1. With the storms focused mainly in the south, the northern portion of the state saw snowpack percentages remain constant or decline during January. The largest departure, as a percent of normal, from last month's report was reported in the South Platte basin which dropped 13 percentage points. As of February 1 the snowpack in this basin was at just 54 percent of normal, the lowest, as a percent of normal, in the state.
This recent snowpack data directly reflects what the state can expect for surface water supplies this coming spring and summer. Current streamflow forecasts continue to point towards well below normal runoff volumes in all the major river basins in Colorado. Adding to this bleak water supply outlook, reservoir storage across the state remains below average. Unless Colorado sees weather patterns that bring above average snowfall and precipitation to the state over these next few months, it is not likely that there will be much relief from the current drought conditions.
The table above shows Colorado's snowpack and reservoir storage as of February 1, 2013.

Hey everyone, haven't written in a long time because of family, big work projects and school, coupled with lethargy from our nasty end of season collapse, but the Angelo dismissal should wake us all up. What does it really mean?
New GM: Are we going to start seeing the major changes we wanted to, or expected, or are we seeing what many feared last year, of Ruskell being groomed to take over for Angelo? Ruskell is no drafting stud. Its easy to say "he drove Seattle into the ground", as many are saying of Polian in Indy without Manning, but the reality is GMs don't get fired until bad seasons happen, and it doesn't make them bad GMs. For GMs, you have to look at trade history, potential and talent of the players on the roster, FA Acquisitions (are there any and were they smart at the time)...And willingness to commit to a Head Coach. I find organizations that flip Head Coaches based on 2-3 seasons of work, except in extreme circumstances, enter a vicious cycle of rotation (see St. Louis, Oakland). Who? Tim Ruskell (Shiver), Bill Polian (meh), and the nfl.com recommendations.
Head Coach: Whomever, whenever, the Bears will have a new GM, and generally speaking GMs get to pick their coaches. It was contentious when Angelo got stuck with Jaron, and it would be to stick a GM with Smith as well. I can see a "give him 1 year" type of attitude, but the Bears may limit their potential GMs giving that ultimatum to a new GM. Better off letting him make his own decisions. The other problem here is that if you have kept Smith and fired Angelo, you get rid of the "package deal" or "Monarchy" packages. Many despise the single point of failure structures that come with Head Coach/GM single entities, and I don't disagree, I am just talking options. There is a possibility that Smith won't be here next year, and who the new head coach would be strongly depends on who the GM is.
Offensive Coordinator: If Smith stays, Martz may still go. I cannot begin to guess who we'd get if Smith left, so let's go with the "he gets to stay" scenario and assume that OCs would consider the Bears in this lame duck scenario because they can consider it an audition for the HC spot under a new GM. Who? I think it has to be someone who runs either a run-based West Coast offense (Mike Shanahan style) or a scaled back Coryell offense (Martz, Norv Turner, Cam Cameron). Cutler knows both systems. The tricky thing here is familiarity. Heck, even Ron Turner technically ran a "Coryell" system, hard as that is to believe from a guy with no creativity and no passing. Getting an offense that can install quick that our line can block and Cutler knows is the 2 big pieces. I anticipate some receiver turnover anyway so that position group can learn, and RBs typically adjust fastest to new systems.
Rest of Staff: If Smith goes, they all go. If not, I anticipate the defensive staff staying in place, Tice potentially getting the OC job if Martz leaves, Toub maybe moving on if he gets a HC interview locked up, and hopefully the end of Drake the Impossible. It could be a very different looking staff in 2012 even if Smith stays.
Making an Impression: A new GM would have to recognize that what he has in the Bears is a defense ready to win now and an offense needing some dedicated work. If it was me, and it won't be, then I would realize the offense needs a couple veterans of quality and a stud playmaker to stay with the defense for 2012-2013...and that means FA and draft help. I know we need Corner, Safety, and Defensive End stability (outside of Tillman and Peppers) and have a short window on Linebackers, but if you want to win with Peppers, Urlacher, Briggs, and Tillman, you fix the offense and fix it fast then start thinking defense in 2013-2014. New GMs often have the freedom to make a splash, so what changes under a new GM, still Smith led team? Offensive Line and Wide Receiver need looks.
Free Agency:
- Wide Receivers are a plenty in FA this year depending on what tags do or don't get issued. Reggie Wayne would add a wonderful veteran presence to our locker room, give Cutler a legit deep threat #1 target, but is a shorter term answer. Vincent Jackson is inconsistent but plays in a Coryell so he could fit in fast. Marques Colston is a great receiver with great body control. Dwayne Bowe is a red zone beast. These are all legitimate #1 receiver options for the 2012 and 2013 offensive window. There are a lot of other potential targets out there slated for FA at the moment, such as Pierre Garcon, Mario Manningham, and many more.
- Offensive Line options exist too. LT Demetrius Bell out of Buffalo is an underrated pass blocker and a hell of a run blocker. OGs Ben Grubbs or Carl Nicks could lock up one of Guard spots and stop the project rotation and Chris Myers out of Houston can play guard or center. I actually like Spencer at Center next year, but we will see. There are a ton of other less exciting prospects out there, too.
- Oh and Jermichael Finley and Fred Davis are slotted as FAs as well. Painful as it would be to bring in a new receiving TE after letting Olsen go, its a new GM and without Martz it could happen.
- If you think I forgot defense, I didn't. Defensive End help could come from Robert Mathis as a nice 2-3 year pair with Peppers, and Calais Campbell is a decent FA. Oh, by the way, Cliff Avrils is a Free Agent and a stud (and would be a theft from the Lions). Brent Grimes or Carlos Rodgers could lock up our Corner position opposite Tillman. Brandon Carr has a ton of potential and Terrell Thomas would be a solid #2. We won't solve Free Safety in free agency in 2012.
Draft: Its always important to get the best talent you can at each draft spot, excluding luxury picks (1st round QBs, RBs) when you already have a pro-bowler at the position. With that said, we could realistically look at almost any position in the 1st round and improve our roster. O-Line, Wide Receiver, 3rd Linebacker, Cornerback, Defensive Tackle, Defensive End, Free Safety...Its sad, but true. We pick 19th. All things being equal, if you want my vote for GM of the year in replacing Angelo, you move up and get WR Justin Blackmon. I screamed for him last year until he decided to stay in school. He has burned and abused many a 1st and 2nd round corner from last years draft. I won't get into a huge draft analysis thing right now, because this post is long already.
Wrap-Up: What kind of shock waves will the post Angelo era come with? I can see a world where we have a GM from outside the current Bears organization, stick with Lovie Smith for one more year, promote Tice to OC for the time being, stick to a Coryell offense that is more power run based like the original Coryell and less "Martzy" (it was good enough to get us 26 points per game in 2011 prior to the Cutler injury). I can see that being run with Reggie Wayne and Justin Blackmon on the outside, and it makes my heart leap for joy. If not, I can see a lackluster 2012 campaign and a whole new staff with a conversion back to the West Coast Play Action system in 2013 as the defensive rebuild begins.

5-hour ENERGY® Pro Cycling "Share Why You Love Cycling" Contest Winner
May 20, 2013
Congratulations to Travis Miller! His to the "Share Why You Love Cycling" was chosen as the winning entry. As a winner of the contest he's receiving a 12-pack of 5-hour ENERGY® and a cycling podium T-shirt.
Travis Miller's entry:
I have participated in many sports throughout my life, and the major downside of most of them is that they all take place on the same field, track, course, confined area over and over again. When I get out and ride, I can go to beautiful places and see new things on every ride. Each time can be a completely new experience. I love cycling because I can go to new races and physically punish myself, while at the same time taking in the incredible place I'm racing in. I love cycling because I will never get bored of it.
Congrats again!

It's a Wrap
Prepping this kitchen is pure and unadulterated torture. Don't let our perma-smiles fool you. Kitchen renovating is not for the weak of heart. Can anyone do it? Probably. It's not a skill thing. I liken it to having a baby…anyone can jump into that pool with two feet, and after a long getting ready period filled with possible discomfort, long hours, and sleepless nights, you then have a bundle of joy that you are paranoid about ruining. I might even name our baby when it's done. And give it a birth certificate. And you can count on too many photos.
Speaking of photos, let me explain some things before I show pics.
CABINETS: When we originally started this phase of the kitchen reno, we were gonna paint the cabinets. and the walls. not the trim. not redo the tile. Well, when we started sanding the space we found out that some of the cabinets are really nice and some not real wood. So that meant oil-based primer. We figured that in order to really get the toughest painted finish out there, we would use oil based primer to really block the stains and for easiest & fastest coverage. The only thing was…we didn't want to put oil based paint in our sprayer…so that meant either hand doing it…or getting spray cans. We opted for the easier.
TILE: Our tile was gonna be phase 3 of this kitchen…you know…after-the-baby-was-born-phase-three. But when we realized that we had to remove some to put in the hood…it became phase 2. Some folks asked why we didn't demo the tile before painting the cabinets…well, because 1. the insulation would be falling out everywhere while we painted, B. the tile doesn't cover any of the cabinets so it doesn't mean we'll have to repaint, IV. we were prepared to paint…we weren't prepared to pick out tile and replace drywall. Plus, we are not attempting to salvage this tile…so it doesn't matter if it gets overspray paint on it. Let's just pray that when it comes time to demo it, it goes smoothly.
WALLS: I still have no idea what color we are painting on the walls. And for twopointohnanoseconds I thought we were gonna tape them off and not have to repaint. So ignore the fact that I started taping them off in these pics. I was a dummy.
On to the photos…
After we sanded in the kitchen, it was a mess…so Will and I cleaned it up. I cleaned the floors and the cabinets so they were ready for paint. Eliminating dust is crucial for a good paint job. And so is wearing your husbands flipflops when your feet have swelled outta yours
The other thing we had to fix was the wooden wall surround that goes next to the fridge. It was pulling away from the trim. So Jer drilled in a couple L brackets to keep it in place.
Then came time to cover the floors. I found the easiest way to cover hardware floors is with loads of Frog Tape and brown paper. Here's how I do it: I cut the roll of brown paper to the right length (about an inch short of reaching the wall)…
Then I whip out the tape. Frog Tape is really the best. And this is coming from someone really lazy who hates touch ups and scraping stray paint where it's supposed to be a crisp clean line…so you know it's true. I'm too lazy to lie.
I put the tape directly on the floor where I want my clean line. Then I rub it with something flat and hard…like a library card…(it's pressure activating…like a good foot massage…you don't wanna just squirt the lotion on em and call it a day…rubbing is crucial)…
Then you put your paper down flat and put another length of Frog Tape to hold it down and cover any little gaps.
Pretty much the same process with wrapping up countertops. You have to do the perimeter (and underneath where it meets the cabinets!) with Frog Tape first…
Then put your paper down with more tape holding it in place and covering any gaps. Borrow your two year olds craft scissors if neccessary
When we started the countertops, I realized pretty quickly that I would rather just have the faucets removed rather than go through the tedious process of taping them… so my darling boys got to work. Will is management obviously.
I love the hand on the belly. Kinda like he's saying, "I got your back dad"…or possibly "I with you…I have no idea why mom is so crazy".
Some folks asked why we were getting rid of the faucets. Plain and simple…I don't like them. Second point for the win…they leak.
Exhibit A…
They were probably fixable…but why invest time fixing something we don't like anyway, right? So we pulled out all the parts and put the bag in the donate pile.
Other folks were asking us why we were not digging the tile. Well for one, it was not installed the way I would choose. The first row of tile was cut across the top to make it straight. Usually you put the cut edge toward the countertop. So thats pet peeve numero one.
The second issue is that at some point there was some need for regrouting…which Napoleon did…in a different color. Check out the bright white grout near the outlet. Yup. Sticks out like Michael Jackson's socks.
Last…there were weird areas of dark gray dirt. It was like the person who installed the tile had the countertop still dirty with dust and just smooshed it into the grout. I scrubbed and scrubbed. But to no avail. Plus, there are still obvious areas of discoloration because of grease and smoke…I've tried every kinda cleaner out there…and I think it was sealed into the porous tile. ERG. So all of those things made me wanna just tear it out.
After the countertops and floors were finally safe and sound, it was time to do the insides of the cabinets.
Two lines of Frog Tape on each edge…and then we put in 'trap doors'. Basically it's just a piece of cardboard cut to fit inside the cabinet and block overspray. We scored the bottom so we could squeeze it in and then used the little Frog Tape handle to pull it closed. When there were shelves on the inside (like the upper cabinets next to the fridge), those just held the cardboard in place…but when there were no shelves, we reached our arm up the trap door and taped it to stay.
We also used the tape and paper to cover all the appliances (except the fridge which we moved into the living room)…
There she blows…classy, huh?
And the lights also got covered. The big one we called Frankenlight.
The pendants were easy. And yes, the tape works great for covering cords…
So that wrapped up an entire Thursday and Friday. I was so glad the next day would be Saturday because that meant I could climb up on the ladder (equally terrifying and exciting) to finish the windows.
Jeremy and I got up early the next day to finish up…
Of course…
Oh and Will got in on the action…I love his little mouth in this shot…
And he got a little balance bike action in before the plastic went back up on the doorways…
Here's a better picture of Frankenlight…scary, huh?!
So for the most part, the kitchen was done. Jeremy had admitted that my hoarding of cardboard boxes was invaluable in this very particular and rare situation (he wanted to make sure I clarified that)…and that the room was almost ready for primer.
Cardboard was also used to cover the new vent hood.
(Pssst…we heard everyone's concern over the vent duct tape…and since this area is completely accessible, we plan on conducting an experiment. We are gonna open the doors to over the hood every month to monitor the condition. We'll see how long it takes for the duct tape to dry out, peel or melt. It'll add scientific joy into my otherwise boring life).
I simply am showing this photo to show my impressive handiwork wrapping the dishwasher. And yes, there are dirty dishes in there.
For the windows we used cardboard, paper and tape. My favorite part was cutting the arched windows outta cardboard…it was my inner geek coming out The rest of the room was completely ready too..
So that's where we stand…a whole lotta brown. and green. I'm just thankful that part is OVER. Next up - primer (a la spraypaint for the cabinets) and paint for the trim.

* ok, i can wait. i know that I'M not doing it, and that things in real life (done well) take time. good luck.

Love all the prep work you have done… I am like… the laziest person in the whole world compared to you guys! AND okay also this is so NOT kitchen reno related …but kind of kitchen related…? There is a predicted "world-wide bacon shortage" ( http://news.sympatico.ctvnews.ca/home/global_bacon_shortage_looms_as_pig_farmers_cull_herds/60b4299e ) .. and I thought of you and your love of bacon!!!
September 25, 2012
I feel for you guys… especially you being 30+ weeks pregnant during all of this!! I'm currently painting the cabinets in the house we're moving to, and I was actually thinking of you as I primed them… I'm 12 weeks pregnant and only have 21 cabinet doors. From what I can remember you have 50+…. WHOA!! You go girl! I would have given up I believe! Can't wait to see the finished product
Sheila permalinkSeptember 25, 2012
Wow! That's a ton of prep work, but well worth it. Can't wait to see the results!!
PS – Highlight of my day right here because I can totally see my own boyfriend making a similar comment: "Jeremy had admitted that my hoarding of cardboard boxes was invaluable in this very particular and rare situation (he wanted to make sure I clarified that)" Thank you for that!
September 26, 2012
I am impressed with your patience! How long did it take you to get all of that cardboarded, brown-papered, and frog-taped over?! I would have given up…but then again, your projects turn out way better than mine, so that's probably why!
I can't wait to see the finished product!
Jessie permalinkSeptember 26, 2012
OMG! Looking good! I like the breakdown you gave us – with all the links of the progress thus far! I missed some of the action in the past, so it is nice to see how it is all coming together.
Can't wait to see more!
Kristi permalinkSeptember 28, 2012
Holy prep work! My sister is very precise and likes writing perfect block letters and has the patience to make scrapbooks. I think I should enlist her help when we're in the prep stages of our kitchen redo! Good for you for having the patience to do it right the first time. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and we closed Monday on a 100 year old house. Luckily all of the major stuff is done but our Napoleons did some of the worst painting I've ever seen. The prep work is really intimidating but I know it will be worth it in the end!

Another hint for using the Frog tape: Apply it, then moisten the joint edge with a damp cloth. That activates the "glue", creating the bond ahead of time. I found that the Frog tape works well along the side edges of doors/windows/cabinets, but not as well along baseboards. I still like the caulk idea the best along baseboards.

looks like you have taken a long time in preparation for the actual work. I hope you have not forgotten any piece of flooring ,tile and countertop uncovered

The number of people claiming unemployment benefits in Bucks fell for a fifth successive month in December to its lowest level since November 2008.
Data from the Office for National Statistics shows the number of claims fell by 224 to stand at 4,318, which is less than 2% of working age people in the county.
In the Vale there was a 28% drop in the number of claimants from December 2012, with a fall of 391 to 1,399.
A total of 1.2% of working age people claimed benefits in December.
Of the 1,399 claimants in the Vale, 20% were from those aged 18-24 whereas 58% were from those aged 25-49 and 22% were from those aged over 50.
Aylesbury MP David Lidington described the latest figures as a 'welcome fall', although the number of people claiming benefits in Bucks remains nearly 70% above the pre-recession level at the end of 2007.
He tweeted: "Continued fall in #Aylesbury jobless total is good news - but more still needs doing to help business flourish & create new jobs."
There were 5,959 advertised vacancies in Bucks throughout December, which is more than 122% more than December 2012.
Most commonly sought were programmers and software development professionals, with 265 vacancies, ahead of IT business analysts (190) and nurses (189).
Data also confirmed full-employment levels rose while part-time employment fell, for the second successive quarter.

Lupita laughs off Leto rumours
6:23pm Monday 24th February 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Lupita Nyong'o has sidestepped questions about her rumoured romance with Jared Leto during a US TV interview.
The 12 Years A Slave star is said to have become close to the actor, but when quizzed about it on The Ellen DeGeneres Show she joked that Miley Cyrus had split them up.
When host Ellen asked whether she is dating the Dallas Buyers Club star, Lupita quipped: "But I thought Miley Cyrus broke us up, that was the last thing I heard?"
She went on: "It's crazy, cause when I read these rumours, they're so detailed that even I start to question whether they're true or not. I know I've believed them in the past and now I guess I can't believe anything."
It was reported earlier this month that Lupita and Jared were getting cosy.
However, a later report suggested the actor was actually becoming close to pop star Miley.

shortened =)
it's worth a tweet
What is the English translation of Twitterbird's metremenkemet utterance that has the Sinophone flying eyeball so confounded? Looks like 'ba'ijaranad' but its meaning is lost on me...
I was interested to see how Esperanto compared and did a brief study using some convenient data from Twitter: http://blog.bierfaristo.com/node/525
one thing to add -- writing Chinese by hand is not fast at all and I think if one counds the number of strokes instead of characters, Chinese is probably longer than English. But this disadvantage disappears with computer input.
Great job : ) I was going to post my version which shortened it to 19 characters but you beat me.
Actually can shorten it still to 15 characters if in lieu of 七十八, use 78 as in the English version.
Chinese is harder to learn but once you learnws it, it can be much faster to read and write in it. I have lived for more years in the U.S. than in China and I read and write English for a living, but I am still a faster reader in Chinese. I think one reason is mechanical -- the amount of space to be scanned is smaller in Chinese.
You should read RLG's (the Johnson blogger) book You Are What You Speak. No language, written or spoken, is intrinsically superior to another.
Also, just last week I was given a counter-example to this statement of yours: "why Chinese can read books, letters and document today written hundreds or thousands of years ago without much difficulty."
I separately showed a 120 year-old piece of writing to two Chinese friends of mine, both told me it was VERY hard to understand for them, partly because the characters have evolved, partly because there is no punctuation, partly because the language has evolved.
I know I shouldn't reply to your posts, but I had to bite this time.
An interesting thought. A way to "tweet" a representation of sound without the sounds themselves, possibly coding sound with the International Phonetic Alphabet might be possible, but extending it to such things as tone would be needed. Coding the "signs" of sign language might also be profitable. I speak only enough Italian to help me travel and enjoy the country, but the first word that I thought of was "ciao," which I think is one syllable and has four letters. Of course, it has only three sounds.
I think that many English words are polysyllabic. I might have used the word "romance" instead of Latin, because many of the modern romance languages incorporated elements of other Italic languages rather than classical Latin. One such as Ladin (Ladinish" as the Germans call it, that I encountered while skiing in the Dolomites seem to have been spoken long before The Roman Empire made Latin a standard.
There is also a problem when the sounds of one language have quite a different meaning in another. I do speak Russian, and there is an anecdote about Russian sailors on a submarine passing by Italy and listening to to the song, "Amore" on the local radio. Ivan says to Oleg: "Listen, they are singing a song about the sea..." I write the name of the sea song in lookalike Cyrillic with Latin letters. "O Mope."
Thanks for the provocative post.
I agree. The article also fails to take into account that each character requires several key strokes to form, though this is obscured in the final sentence. If English could use .gifs for every unit of meaning, i.e. go + ing = 2 .gifs then Chinese's edge would be reduced.
The Latin alphabet isn't particularly good at conveying the sound of words to others. The Poles and Lithuanians are now in a highly emotional fight in Spanishover differences in the writing of their languages, particularly the lack of the letter "W" in Lithuanian.
Choosing "B" as an example is interesting.
The letter "B" represents a different sound in English and Spanish.
In Spanish as with Russian and modern Greek, what looks like "B" sounds more like "V." To write the sound of "B" in modern Greek, the Greeks use a mu followed by a pi.
I have friends who won't even do email. Perhaps the tweeter knows the other two and is trying to strike up a conversation. The situation for him/her is better than for those who transmit to extraterrestrial aliens in outer space. The Gamilaraay speakers are known to exist, but aren't answering. The aliens may not exist. On to the other hand, they may be reading the human signals but might just not be interested.
or just give each word in the dictionary an alphanumeric code and use that code to tweet... :-)
I have a proposal to make English more brief and efficient for the Twitter Era:
-Lose all vowels, except for first letter vowels
-Eliminate the word spaces
-Each new word begins with a capital.
It requires a little work but is still somewhat intelligible.
It cuts down sentence space by 30-50%.
Evidently there are two linguistic system. One is composed of Hieroglyphics characters like Chinese,way like,"人"(two legs) mean human being,another is from Latin like English. Comparing them,Hieroglyphics characters can express more using less characters but it's inconvenient on programming.
I'm sorry.

A home in the Weaver Community was destroyed by fire early Wednesday morning.
The single story house in the 11,000 block of County Road 3531 was fully involved when fire fighters arrived on the scene. There was one man in the home at the time of the fire who managed to get out unharmed.
Six Fire Departments are on the scene working to extinguish the blaze. The roof collapsed and the house appears be a complete loss.
The Red Cross provided rehab to the firefighters and assistance to the resident of the home.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Hopkins County Fire Marshal.

Reviews of Went the Day Well? 1942
Alongside Hamer's It Always Rains On Sunday, this wartime thriller based on a Graham Greene short story has to be one of the very best non-comedy films Ealing ever made. Brazilian-born Cavalcanti is in the director's chair to give an outsider's view of how an idyllic English village pulls together to repel an invading troop of German soldiers. Surprisingly tough and unsentimental, this gripping drama is a must-see..
What a thrilling movie. A small English town is taken over by Nazis with the help of a dirty fifth columnist in their midst. Ordinary people do amazing, brave acts to save their little town and their country. It's right up there with Red Dawn and Army of Shadows. Even more amazing when you realize that Grahame Greene wrote this movie in 1942, and they shot it when Hitler was menacing the whole world. One of the best wartime propaganda movies you'll ever see.
In telling a story of Nazi paratroopers taking over a small English town, and the efforts of the town people to fight back, Went The Day Well? occupies an interesting middle ground between propaganda and entertainment. It's a lot rougher and more violent than you'd expect from a film of the time, yet a lot more graceful than wartime propaganda should be.
The film is at its best when the dealing with the small, personal conflict within the town, especially…
Surprisingly brutal war thriller, all to show the ends to which every patriot must go in wartime. Propagandistic no doubt, but the unflinching violence and strong ensemble and constantly shifting hierarchy of information make it a hearty potboiler even in the shoddier moments.
Such an odd framing device too: made in 1942 and largely set there, but it happens within a frame story of a man telling the tale of Bramley End after the war in an unspecified year who…
Unusual 1942 British propaganda film about a German pre-invasion force taking over a small English village to set up communications jamming equipment. The story is tense and intriguing, almost Hitchcokian in the way the details unfold (and some of the music cues even have a bit of a Bernard Hermann feel in places). It's also nicely photographed, a beautiful vignette of rural life in the English countryside. It's not a very well-known film, but well worth tracking down.
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Went the Day Well is a completely preposterous and rather mundane propaganda film. It does have a few surprisingly gruesome moments, but not enough to save it from failure.
A queer little duck, as its characters might put it—undistinguished both dramatically and formally, but endlessly fascinating as an alternate-history of WWII produced when the war's outcome was still very much in doubt. It's as if Tarantino had made Inglourious Basterds in 1942, had that film been otherwise kinda blah. Surprisingly brutal at times (albeit in the bloodless way typical of the era), with a rich sense of character; it is propaganda, though, and the necessary jingoism keeps getting…
Don't make the mistake of presuming that it is an insincere propaganda yarn. This is an electrifying tale of survival. It stands out, owing much to its unexpected flashes of violence that are sincerely exhilarating and often frank and uncompromising. The quaint English ambiance, maintaining its spry morale, is a clever and natural juxtaposition to the taut aggression of the conflict, which is thus more well-defined. The relatively unfamiliar cast is plainly high-quality.

'This Is The End' red band trailer is perfect for today
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nb5sZPl-dE&w=640&h=360]
Seth Rogen might be the last man on Earth. You ready for that, ladies? If you're reading this, the world obviously didn't come to an end (unless you're an alien in the distant future or in Hell or the Matrix or something), so why not watch a trailer for a movie where it does? This Is The End casts a coterie of Hollywood dudes as themselves at a party at James Franco's house when the apocalypse hits. Some of the survivors, including Rogen, include Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson and Franco himself. Rogen co-wrote and co-directed the flick with Superbad's Evan Goldberg and opens on June 14, 2013.

We were in a "Deluxe" balcony cabin. For some reason my wife and I felt that this one was smaller than the Bermuda Cabin. After 4 days the flimsy toilet seat broke. The cabin attendant reported it and left it on the floor beside the toilet. We started phoning the desk repeatedly. The desk people assured us each time we phoned that they were taking care of it. After a while I got a little exhasperated, and told them that they were doing nothing. The woman on the phone hung up on me. Four days later, after being forced to use the public toilets exclusively, I finally went down to the desk, asked to speak to the Manager, and a gentlman named "Ron" saw me. Fifteen minutes later, the toilet seat was replaced. Why did it take so long? Since the ship was quite full, they were too busy to find another toilet seat.
The rest of the cruise was uneventfully except for the Royal Caribbean excursion we took in Samana, DR. It was whale watching. They loaded us onto a small boat with an outboard motor. (32 Passengers including Senior Citizens and a small baby) The weather was windy and the water was very choppy. The driver was a maniac. He went full speed ahead over the highest waves. We were propelled out into space and came down with a crash too many times to count. The baby was screaming, and a number of people were loosing their lunches over the side. It is clear that the cruise line did an inadequate job in hiring these "cowboys of the sea". (Good name for the boat)
I certainly will give a lot of thought to re-booking on this ship.

After making a few phone calls this afternoon, here is where UNT stands as we head down the stretch in football recruiting.
I swapped messages with top defensive end target Xavier Washington. The Cedar Hill standout had a good time at Houston, but UNT is still very much in the hunt and will receive an official visit next weekend.
It never hurts to be the last team to get an official visit with a prospect.
That is a situation that could go either way. I don't really have a feeling one way or the other.
I always did have a sneaking suspicion that Garrett Davis might not stick, and it looks like that is the case.
UofH with a big day in recruiting as they gained commitments from Red Oak CB Garret Davis and @DeSotoUFootball CB Howard Wilson.
— EricInsideTexas (@EricNahlin) January 19, 2014
Davis told me just a few days ago that he was going to sign with UNT. I called him back tonight, but never heard back. That isn't a good sign, but until we hear from Davis it's hard to know for sure what the deal is.
Davis isn't the highest rated prospect in UNT's class, but he was one of the Mean Green's better commitments.
Tillman Johnson, a defensive end who is currently committed to Texas State, visited UNT this weekend. I swapped messages with him and was supposed to hear back, but haven't yet.
He told me last week that he would visit both UNT and Texas State before making a decision. I suspect that will indeed be the case.
UNT will have to wait it out.

Product Specification

I bought this after years of suffering split,broken and weak nail that seemed to break at the slightest touch so had to cut them down so they were all equal length. had tried Sally Hansen and others and despite their high price tag none had worked. Saw when using the Superdrug 2 for 3 deal to buy make up and thought why not. I'm so glad I did as my nails are so much more stronger - I banged it against something today and before it would've broken - winced in expectation but it didn't. They no longer split or get breaks at the sides and haven't for almost a month which is a record considering how long they now are - like talons! I put it on as a base coat each time I do my nails. The bottle is a tiny 5 ml and a month in am halfway through as I do my nails weekly. If this was a nail colour wouldn't buy it as think 5.99 a lot for such a small bottle but this undercoat is worth it I think as I keep getting compliments and people asking if they're false. Have now bought 3 more in the 3 for 2 deal and hope they keep on having this effect on my nails.Flag this review

PEORIA, Ill. -- Mac and Ashley headed out to find some adventurous cuisine. They ended up at Mango in Peoria for fondue.
Fondue was originally about dipping food in melted cheese on a small burner.
Now, it's food dipped in cheese, hot oil, or even chocolate.
The meal started with melted cheese and variety of breads and fruit to be dipped.
That's a fon-don't. You're not supposed to eat off the skewer. You use a fork and remove it from the skewer. That's one of the rules.
The second course was the veggies, meat and seafood. It was dropped into a pot of very hot oil and it cooked quickly. There were some dipping sauces to add more flavor.
For dessert the pair had flaming chocolate fondue.
Mango also has a regular restaurant menu, so the non fon-doers can have something else, if they choose.
The meal came to $67.62 plus tip for their three course meal.
Mango is located at 1818 W. War Memorial Drive. Open evenings for dinner all week.

News: Nelly Isn't Swinging W/ Madonna After N-Bomb: "She Needs To Get Her S**t Straight" [Video]
Tuesday, Jan 28, 2014 8:48AM
St. Lunatics leader Nelly is going to need more than an apology from pop icon Madonna to get over her controversial use of the N-word last week.
A few days ago, the St. Louis, Missouri native briefly spoke on the controversy the singer sparked via her Instagram page.
Madonna straight "f**ked up" when she dropped the N-word online in a shout-out to her son ... so says the rapper Nelly, who tells TMZ, "She need to get her sh*t right." Nelly was leaving a Grammy party at 1OAK nightclub on the Sunset Strip when we asked about Madge's super-controversial Instagram post ... the one where she referred to her white son Rocco as a "n**ga." Nelly says he's cool with Madonna because she apologized ... but it's clear from Nelly, Madge doesn't have, or ever will have, a pass to use the N-word. ... no matter how many black kids she adopts. (TMZ)
After receiving tons of backlash, Madonna issued a full-fledged statement courtesy of her representative Liz Rosenberg last week.
"I am sorry if I offended anyone with my use of the N word on Instagram. It was not meant as a racial slur.. I am not a racist. There's no way to defend the use of the word. It was all about intention... It was used as a term of endearment toward my son who is white. I appreciate that it's a provocative word and I apologize if it gave people the wrong impression. Forgive me." (CNN)
According to initial reports, the music diva sent shockwaves after using the offensive term to describe her son.
Madonna has a strange way of bragging about her son -- she posted a pic of him boxing with the hashtag ... "disni**a" ... and she immediately got blasted for it. Madonna posted the photo of Rocco Ritchie on Instagram Friday night with the caption, "No one messes with Dirty Soap! Mama said knock you out! #disni**a." Dirty Soap is clearly a nickname for Rocco. As for the hashtag -- who the Hell knows? (TMZ)
Following some expected backlash, the 55-year-old simply re-worded her caption.
Some outraged followers ripped her for it ... with comments like, "MADONNA U NEED TO TAKE UR arthritis medicine instead of trying to be hip on the internet." #truth. 5:50 PM PT -- Madonna changed the photo caption to say, "Ok let me start this again. #get off of my d*ck haters!" (TMZ)

Two gate crashers who are cheap skates. Two posers who crashed the economy with their gate crashing. I'd say there are serious similarities.

The above is what I wanted you to note in that article. Bullet-proof electrified glass in the glass palace that we paid for. I sure wonder how much it was and if they held their Salsa party in it also. Talk about excessive. You must watch the you tube I posted above. 40 people had approx a 3 week job sewing on the sterling silver sequins on the queens dress. Where were those jobs? India? What were they paid? Was it child labor or slave labor?
27 November 2009, 10:14 pm
Yeah, I watched it. To say they are extravagant is an understatement! I understand the state dinners and all that, but they have gone overboard considering it's OUR freakin' money they're spending. If they gave a happy crap, they'd tone it down, a LOT!

Is Abu Dhabi on the right track or missing a little action?
While a cautious move is commendable, businessman Habtoor urges Abu Dhabi not to lose its economic momentum. Precious de Leon thinks maybe all the capital needs is a little push.
November 27, 2011 3:41 by Precious de Leon
"To review things is good — but it shouldn't take so long." These are the words of Khalaf Al Habtoor, chairman of Habtoor Group, in a Gulf News article where he urges Abu Dhabi to push ahead with its infrastructure development so as not to lose economic momentum.
Habtoor Group has been pretty much in the consumer psyche of any UAE resident because it's pretty much into everything from retail to hotels, construction and real estate and even car sales and leasing. The company is one of the UAE's pioneering conglomerates (having launched in 1970) as well as one of its biggest.
The chairman is alluding to the considerable slowdown the capital has taken with some of its property developments and other projects under its 2030 Vision strategy. One of the most recent moves is the postponement of construction for the museums on Saadiyat Island.
It's undeniably a good thing to be considerate and cautious about large scale moves. And in fact, as Al Habtoor said, the review has been "long overdue", and mostly done after news of job cuts in government-connected companies like Abu Dhabi's Masdar and Shuaa Capital in Dubai—and of course there are also the unreported cases in the private sector across the country that are going through a second or third round of redundancies.
It's good to be measured in decision-making. So is Abu Dhabi taking too long a time? Al Habtoor says "this is the wrong time to delay," adding that "Normal practice when there is pressure is that the government needs to spend money for recovery – this is the right time to continue and go ahead with the infrastructure.
The chairman himself expects a 15 percent growth for his company across the board, indicating that business is picking up.
Given the atmosphere of uncertainty in the Middle East and with the Arab Spring just next door, Abu Dhabi could be given a bit more leeway for being slower with its decision-making. It has more at stake, being the capital and supporting and sustaining other emirates as well as supporting companies even those outside of the capital. By the same token, however, its wider reach is only possible because of its incredible amount of cash reserves. Sovereign Wealth Funds Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), for example, collectively have $675 billion in assets, according to SWF Institute.
While appreciate that Abu Dhabi wants to review things, with this much money in their back pocket, what's keeping the capital from going full steam ahead with some of the projects?
Creating ambitious projects on paper is great. But the second bit of rolling up our sleeves and getting down to business is trickier than what most might expect. And perhaps this is where companies in Abu Dhabi need the extra push?
"Strategic plans have been drafted by many of the countries and cities in the region, all looking forward to the next decade and beyond. What is key now is for organisations to be prepared and equipped to begin the implementation of these visionary programmes," said management consultant and author Stephen Bungay.
So are the delays just veiled forms of paralysis on the part of the involved companies in their slowed quest for implementation? From the country's recent business history, a conscious slowing down has never been because of any fear of risk. It has always been because of safeguarding against challenges that are already at their doorstep, instead of perceived threats.
But what about you Kippers, is a slow down just what the capital needs or…(CONTINUED TO NEXT PAGE)

Management Jokes for Monday
Some management jokes to lighten up Monday.
I thought I would pass on some humor for Monday just to get it kick-started. :-)
Lesson 1:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson 2:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally, after a forenight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
Lesson 3:
A little bird was flying South for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him!
Management Lessons:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut.

HarryDecember 6th, 2011 at 3:24amLesson 3 makes no sense, I recall the story different. The cat takes the bird out of the shit licks it clean and eats it. , explaining when someone takes you out of the shit does not have to mean he is your friend.
And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut, this was never found in the original. Makes no sense also

QB: Jackson, Whitehurst, Portis
Notes: I believe next year Whitehurst will be gone and the new QB group will be The two above (Minus Whitehurst) and of course the QB picked in the draft. I don't know who that will be, but I feel it will be an interesting draft. I think Pete and John will do a lot to get either Barkley or Luck, anything can be bought for the right price.
(The Questions, Who will it be? and for what price?)
(He wears a reciever gloves like Roethlisberger, could he be the second coming of big Ben The Great? I sure as hell hope not)
RB: Lynch, Forsett, Washington, Taua (PS)
Notes: This is kind of an interesting Position for us, I think we need some explosive play from here, maybe its just that the O-line hasn't gotten to its potential yet but the only one I like to watch run the ball is Leon and Lynch at times. Washington is more of a slasher and he finds the little wholes and can burst through with ease. Lynch on the other hand I like as a power back, great power, strength and at times can make his own holes with help from the O-line. I would like to see play is Taua, I'm wondering if he could come in and be a good RB for us, he didn't disappoint in the Preseason, so hopefully he can impress enough in the off season that he can make the roster, maybe lose Forsett and keep the 3 if we don't draft a RB (there is talk of us going after Trent Richardson). I believe Marshawn will be a FA next year, I would like to have him back for the right price, He's a very vocal leader, and I enjoy it, while watching the Brows game he wasn't even playing and he was running out to the field trying to hype players up, was something I enjoyed seeing from him.
(then there is always the hometown boy)
(DE: Clemons, Bryant, Hargrove, Brock, Levingston (PS), Wilkerson (IR)
Notes:I Really enjoy these outside Lineman, the only sad thing is, they are getting old and we need some young juice to give it that extra punch. I cant find the FA defensive ends for next year so I'm not going to list any here. but with the draft coming up I am looking at a few prospect that I would love for the hawks to look at. Someone that has been on my Radar has been Frank Alexander (OU DE), I've liked him since the Florida State game where he was basically bare backing EJ Manuel every snap. I believe he may climb in the draft, but he is currently in some mocks projected to go in the 3rdround. Good length and size (6'4 255lbs) Good pass rusher I hope to see in a Hawks uniform next year. Among others that I like are, Andre Branch (Clem. DE 6'4 260), Vinny Curry (Marsh. 6'3 260), Jake Bequette (Ark. 6'5 271). This draft is going to be nice for mid to late round D- lineman.
(maybe not Ej Manuel but it will do)
CB: Browner, Trufant (IR), Thurmond (IR), Lewis, Sherman, Cox, Maxwell, Ron Parker.
Notes: I believe the secondary plays strictly off the D-line, if you don't have a pass rush, the opposing QB has a lot of time and can dissect the defense fairly often, but a playmaking CB is always nice, especially since ours cant seem to be healthy, our secondary really isn't as bad, its just that we can get enough pass rush to even have the opposing QB worrying, although it has picked up lately with Clemons getting to his average of one sack a game it has come a little late with two of our better corners going down (Trufant, Thurmond), I am actually anxious for our young CB's to play mainly Sherman, I really like this kid love his length and coverage isn't bad either (he's young so bare with him haha) again I'm not sure who is going to be a FA next year in this area so I go straight to the draft. From what I've heard of Pete, is he likes tall physical receivers so those are the only ones I've really looked at Dre Kirkpatrick (6'2ish 192) Definitely what Carroll would love to have, unfortunately I see him going in the 1stand don't see us getting him. I'm excited for this weekend (Bama vs. LSU) Morris Claiborne (6'1 185) again, the stereotypical Carroll guy, physical, strong, and tall, I believe it a possibility we could get him, depending on how much confidence Carroll and John have in Tru and Thurmond coming back.
(Celebrating after the Hawk Select him! yay!)
These are needs and wants of myself, a fan of the Seattle Seahawks, at no time while writing this did I think of these positions being in order of need, just some ideas from me. Thank you for reading and GO HAWKS!

2Viral Video: Jason Schwartzman's 'Iron Chef' Spoof on Sesame Street
This video finally went all-the-way-viral yesterday, but I thought I'd save it for today, since weekends can be tough.
I ordinarily think of Jason Schwartzman as an actor of distinguished subtlety and nuance, but I'm going to have to rethink that stance. Schwartzman's bedazzled, satin-gloved host (of a segment called "Cast Iron Cook") is all flared nostrils and crazy eyes. And shouting!
But the costume is the best part, maybe! It's such a good imitation of Chairman Kaga's distinctive lamé cape! And did you notice the little veggie embellishments on Schwartzman's brocade chest and collar? Ah! So cute!

15Jason Schwartzman Marries
Jason Schwartzman, best known for his roles in I Heart Huckabees and Marie Antoinette (he was the saving grace in that flick), just announced that he wed his long-term girlfriend Brady Cunningham, July 11th at their San Fernando Valley home.
I give Schwartzman credit for a couple of things: 1) He flew under the radar for over a month — he's not A-list but it's still an impressive feat, and 2) He married a completely normal, natural looking woman. It even looks like her rack might be an original. So un-Hollywood.
Congrats to the happy couple!

28Who's Hotter: Jason Schwartzman or Adrien Brody
The two of them showed up in Beverly Hills last week to do a press conference for their upcoming Wes Anderson film, The Darjeeling Limited, which also stars Owen Wilson (but you can't vote for him) and Natalie Portman (who is clearly hotter than any of these people).
So I'm looking through these pictures trying to decide which of them I should focus this post on. "Who's hotter?" I asked myself. "Jason Schwartzman or Adrien Brody?" And what I decided is that I'm not sure. So I'm putting it to you guys. Let me know.
