April 24, 2014 Moses Ayegba News
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Ayegba officially transferred to Nebraska on Thursday, Omaha.com reports.
The 6-foot-9 center was set to complete his degree at Georgetown in May, so he'll be eligible immediately for Nebraska in 2014-15 as a graduate student. Much of his value lies on the defensive end as a rim protector, as he totaled 23 blocked shots in 31 games for the Hoyas last season.

2001 Lexus RX300 Problems
The Check Engine Light may come on because a component of the oxygen sensor stops working. Replacement of the failed sensor should correct this concern.
Debris can get into the idle air control valve. This will restrict the air flow into the engine, causing idle speed and/or stalling when cold. The valve can be cleaned or replaced to correct this concern.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because the mass air flow sensor sends incorrect information to the engine control computer. This can cause a loss of power on acceleration. A failed mass air flow sensor will require replacement.

When Michelle McCool went in for wrist surgery last month, there were speculations that she was healing up for another run with WWE. However, that does not appear to be the case. No such return is currently being planned right now, as she is spending time with her baby daughter.
CM Punk is scheduled to make another appearance at a Comic Con. The former WWE Champion will be doing the one in Portland next weekend. He will be doing photographs and autographs to start and will finish up with a questions and answers session.
John Morrison posted a picture of himself with some Star Wars fans at the Comic Con in Albuquerque.
Michelle McCool is going in for surgery to repair her right wrist. The former WWE diva claims that it has been hurting her for years, and now that she is no longer in the wrestling business, it was time to start healing her body.
Since Monday Night Raw was in Austin, Michelle McCool decided to pay a visit to her former WWE coworkers backstage at the event. Rumors of her return were rampant because the diva made an appearance at the performance center.

ICS with 2 routers, yay
i dont what type of connection i have setup, but it seems to break a few rules, or atleast it just works where normally the setup wouldnt. it has been tested so its pretty stable too.
what did i just setup, can someone draw me a network map, or a flow chart, or something explaining this set up, so i can clearly see which router is the most protected network, and if the secondary subnet is even justified?
router 1(permiter network WAN side?)
LAN-default(192.168.1.1,255.255.255.0-dhcp on) second NIC card on host machine connected here for LAN connectivity
WAN- set to auto(dynamic) - primary NIC on host machine using ICS share is plugged into the WAN(INET) port or router - (grabs ip lease from ICS (192.168.137.51-255.255.255.0)
2 output ports on Router 1 are used up, 1 for the output to Router 2, and one for the private access NIC on machine 1, and the WAN port is also used from the primary NIC on machine 1.
router 2 (wlan subnet access point. protected network?)
only for wireless connectivity isp throughput is taken from random Router1 output.
LAN - default (192.168.2.1,255.255.255.0 - dhcp on)
WAN - set to auto(dynamic) - ethernet cable from an output on Router1, connected into WAN(INET) port (picks up ip lease from Router 1) (gets an ip something like 192.168.1.101,255.255.255.0 (contains internet service))
router 2 is left with a few free ports open in which connections can be made on the inside subnet, and will grab an ip in the 192.168.2.0 range
machine 1, the host
NIC0-usb cellphone adapter, (shares to NIC1)
NIC1-ICS sharing (connects to Router 1 WAN input)
NIC2-private access (connects to router 1)
machine 2, hardwired client
NIC1 - hardwired into Router2 - (gets ip lease of 192.168.1.x)
machine 3, wireless or laptop client
WLS1 - wireless to Router2 - (gets ip lease of 192.168.2.x)
what just happened?
i didnt think i would be able to use DHCP on either, let alone both routers, this is probably because instead of patching the ISP through a router output port, its because ICS is going to WAN port therefore isolating the ISP network. I think this is better since now the router can handle the traffic, instead of pushing ICS to the limits with multiple connections to its DHCP and routing capabilities.
can someone eleborate on uses for this type of network, and what subnet is int eh back, and what subnet is most usable? and what subnet i should i be connecting the host machines private adapter to, for most security, or do i need to connect the host machine to the outer net (192.168.1.0) to keep in contact with the router?

Fast growing
All of the plants listed below are classed as 'fast growing', meaning that they can grow in excess of two foot per year. We have a range of containerised options below that can be planted any time of year, provided that they are watered during establishment. For more options please see our bare-root page.
Species that create beautiful, quick growing hedges
The obvious and most widely publicised fast growing hedge is Leylandii. It has received a bad press in recent years, particularly in cases where the plant has not been maintained correctly and this has resulted in some huge growth actually denying light to a next door neighbour! Although legislation has been passed to deal with this issue, in practise it is hardly ever used.
In reality, Leylandii is not hard to control. It does require a good clipping two or three times during the summer if you're looking to achieve a dense, hardy, evergreen hedge. There is also the Golden Leylandii 'Castlewellan' to consider – this species produces a slower growing hedge but offers more colour to those who wish to brighten up their garden quickly yet effectively.
Probably the fastest growing 'native' hedge in cultivation today is Laurel. English Laurel needs lots of water in its first season after it has first been planted, but will reward you with lush green new growth that will soon reach top gear. The other evergreen Laurel is 'Portuguese', which offers a lighter, smaller type of leaf and is much darker in colour. Of course one of the fastest growing plants that can be planted is Privet, the easiest of plants to establish and maintain. When supplied bare-root it is one of the most cost effective too.
The importance of preparing the soil before planting your new hedge
On the subject of fast growing, it must be remembered that no hedge will thrive after planting unless the soil has been properly prepared beforehand. Compaction is the worst and most common problem, causing anaerobic conditions. Plants need to find oxygen in the soil to enable them to grow. A well-filled light and friable soil will aid hedge establishment as well as ensure adequate drainage. Fast growing hedges will become slow growing hedges if the water cannot drain away!

Miniature circuit breakers cut off a circuit, or provide circuit interruption, when overload conditions are detected in a controlled circuit. Miniature circuit breakers are most commonly used in residential electrical units and in commercial buildings to control power sent from an electrical supply to the protected circuits.
What Is a Miniature Circuit Breaker?
Circuit breakers are electrical switches that are automatically activated to prevent damage to circuits due to short circuits or overload. Miniature circuit breakers carry out this function in specific applications.
Miniature circuit breakers contain two contacts that close and open via a spring-based mechanism. A thermal magnetic trip device in the circuit breaker trips the spring when current levels increase above a certain limit, which in turn causes the breaker contacts to open to divert the current.
Ground Fault Detection
Some advanced miniature circuit breaker designs house a fault-detection system. This system enables the breaker contacts to open in the event that a line-to-ground fault, or short circuit, is detected.

Quality Transcription Services for Researchers
Client Industry Focus: Qualitative Researchers and Academics
Alexandra Lee is a PhD researcher at the University of Auckland and UC Berkeley, focusing on the role of architects in disaster recovery. She conducts field interviews with industry expert and community stakeholders in areas affected by earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters, including Haiti, New Orleans and Christchurch. Like many qualitative researchers, Alexandra records all her interviews on an iPhone and later uses them in her analysis.
The Challenge
The large amount of time required to transcribe interviews by hand prevented Alexandra from progressing her research and analyzing results. However the cost to have a professional transcriber with a perfect level of accuracy was too high. Not being a professional transcriber, it took her a whole day to transcribe interviews that ranged between 1 to 1 ½ hours, which was not sustainable. Alexandra had a particular need for two specific solutions:
|Recording interviews in the field: It's often difficult to organize a time for interview with high-profile community and business leaders, and being prepared at short notice is key to getting access to busy people. Having a convenient and high quality recording device helps researchers be mobile.
|Perfect transcript of interviews: Researchers know that "Garbage In" equals "Garbage Out" and place high value on perfect accuracy of the text transcripts. Ms. Lee wanted perfect transcription of results to import into NVivo for coding, and to run further automated analytics and statistical models in SPSS.
The Solution
To conduct detailed interviews in the field, Alexandra relied on one device that she had with her at all times - her iPhone. The TranscribeMe app turned it into a powerful recorder and transcription system in one, available anytime at her fingertips. On the other hand, the TranscribeMe website allowed for finished transcripts to be downloaded in Word and XML formats, perfect for import into coding and analytics software such as NVivo and SPSS.
The Result
Ms. Lee found that TranscribeMe offered an unbeatable transcription service for academics and researchers:
|High quality, accurate transcripts (98%-100% accuracy)
|Fast turnaround time (24-48 hours)
|Round the clock availability. No downtime, and very responsive
|Simple to use:
|Files are uploaded directly from the web browser or with a smartphone app
|Unprecedented confidentiality using innovative speech processing technology
|The ability to identify male and female speakers in complex classroom environments with multiple speakers
Quality transcription services for Educators
Client Industry Focus: Academic Research and Business
Dr. David Teece is a renowned economist, the Thomas W. Tusher Professor in Global Business and director of the Center for Global Strategy and Governance at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. Additionally, he has over 30 years of experience in economic, business, and financial consulting, and is one of the top-10 cited scholars for the last decade. Dr. Teece has been recognized by Accenture as one of the world's top-50 business intellectuals.
The Challenge
As an A-list professor and a businessman, Dr. Teece is short on time to communicate big ideas. Both his roles traditionally involve a heavy amount of writing, and the challenge every day is to become more efficient with time. Dr. Teece needed an easy-to-use solution that would allow him to capture and share ideas, notes, interviews, and lectures, and had a particular need for two specific solutions:
|Capturing lecture content: academics know that nothing makes up for the ideas generated during debate in the classroom. Dr. Teece wanted to record his lectures, in particular the presentation of guest speakers to his classes, and easily share them with his students as well as archive for future learning.
|Publishing faster: on average, we take five times as long to write down an idea as we do to say it out loud. Dr. Teece dictated his letters and notes into the TranscribeMe smartphone app, and used the transcripts to cut out the time he would have spent writing, allowing him to publish faster.
The Solution
Through a simple iPhone app, TranscribeMe provided Dr. Teece with a fast, high quality and well priced transcription service that works at all hours of the day. By utilizing TranscribeMe's ability to transcribe both single-speaker notes and messages as well as multi-speaker lecture discussions, Dr. Teece has been able to capture his ideas and notes and have a word-for-word perfect text copy available on demand.
The Result
Dr. Teece found that TranscribeMe offered an unbeatable transcription service for educators, academics, and researchers:
|High quality, accurate transcripts (98%-100% accuracy)
|Fast turnaround time (24-48 hours)
|Round the clock availability. No downtime, and very responsive
|Simple to use:
|Files are uploaded directly from the web browser or with a smartphone app
|Unprecedented confidentiality using innovative speech processing technology
|The ability to identify male and female speakers in complex classroom environments with multiple speakers
Conferences Maximize Content Value with Transcription Services
Industry Focus: Conferences and Events
Social-Loco is a premier San Francisco Bay Area event that focuses on the convergence of social media, location and mobile web, and their impacts on the tech ecosystem, brands, agencies and consumers. Executives from Facebook, Google, Qualcomm, Nokia, Waze, ATTi, Microsoft and leading investors come to address these topics in a highly interactive setting.
With the rise of digital marketing, telecommuting and self publishing, more audio data is being created than ever before. Conference organizers create intense moments where ideas, views and inspiration can flourish – but struggle to create long-term value from this audio content after the event is over.
|Engaging attendees – people attend events to learn, but cannot be in two places at once. When events run multiple speakers concurrently, or if attendees are having conversations outside the room, valuable learning's are lost to them.
|Engaging the press – feeding timely sound bites to the press is recognized as key to gaining coverage and prestige for events. However, finding those moments by reviewing audio is time consuming, and the window of opportunity for press engagement closes fast.
|Establishing thought leadership – content creators are increasingly digitizing their audio in order to create libraries of their work, thoughts, and conversations that arise from unique and unplanned interactions – ones that happen at events often. The ability to easily reference conversations, through a keyword search, allows a continuous conversation about ideas as they develop over time but is difficult to create.
|Increasing attendees and revenue through digital search – search engine optimization is critical to sales and marketing, and it's driven by good content. Event organizers have an ace up their sleeves in this regard. By transcribing and publishing event content online, events content is more likely to be indexed and referenced, and the event is more likely to be attended and highly regarded. This is great but traditional transcription services are costly and time consuming – two factors which negate increased revenues and timely implementation.
The Solution
Social Loco was looking for a partner to help capture, transcribe, and share their content. However, the service needed to be highly accurate and able to meet the challenging deadlines required for conferences and events. They chose to work with TranscribeMe because of the potential speed and accuracy their new hybrid platform promised to deliver.
The Result
Because TranscribeMe is built on a hybrid platform that combines voice recognition technology with crowd-sourced transcribers, Social Loco was able to receive their transcribed audio quickly, with 98% accurate text, all for a fraction of the cost of traditional transcription companies. TranscribeMe's relationships with audio visual service providers also meant there was zero work for the organizers of Social Loco to do – they created the event, and received the transcript, with no hand-holding required.
Thanks to TranscribeMe, Social Loco was able to engage with their attendees in a new and valuable way. The
conference transcriptions were downloaded over 200 times – from 200 attendees, this demonstrated the true value people found in this content more than any other metric could. Social Loco and TranscribeMe continue to work together to enable search, share and monetization of valuable content created by Bay Area thought leaders.
Business Professional uses TranscribeMe iPhone App to Save Time and Increase Revenue
Client Focus: Business Professionals
KATABOLT is a global business that takes New Zealand exporters into markets offshore. They provide strategic market validation services combined with help in developing effective channel to markets to win beachhead customers (those customers willing to try a new product or service) in the challenging and dynamic economies of US, Europe and Asia, through extensive global networks of international business owners.
One of his biggest and most time-consuming challenges is following up after meetings with action points to
attendees. "I knew there must be a better way to do this using my iPhone, but I couldn't find any useful apps," said Christopher. I tried using speech recognition but the accuracy was laughable and human note-takers were too expensive. There really was no comprehensive tool available for recording my meetings for follow-up until TranscribeMe." An average meeting is forty to sixty minutes long so with a schedule of four meetings daily, it's easy to understand why Chris struggles with follow-up on important meeting action points. Some of his challenges include:
|Decreased efficiency editing transcription created by speech recognition apps with low accuracy.
|Lost Time Opportunities because he or his PA spent sixty minutes at the end of the day summarizing action points and sending follow up emails. Other transcription companies have typical turnaround times between two days and a week – too long to wait to action important matters.
|Increased Costs from having his PA or a note taker along to important meetings.
The Solution
Christopher was looking for a convenient, mobile, and fast solution that would not only save huge amounts of his time everyday, but also reduce costs by allowing his PA to focus on getting things done rather than attend meetings to take notes. Chris chose to try the TranscribeMe iPhone app because of the potential speed and accuracy their new hybrid platform promised to deliver.
The Result
"The TranscribeMe iPhone app is an entrepreneurial must-have! Simple to use, turnaround time is unreal and it delivers damn near perfect accuracy. TranscribeMe solves a huge pain point in our industry," says an enraptured Chris Boys after using the TranscribeMe iPhone app.
Since Chris downloaded the TranscribeMe app a week ago, he has increased his productivity by over 30%. He has set up an efficient workflow that that saves him a significant amount of time by enabling his staff to act on action points within a day. They receive the information they require immediately after every meeting. Chris says, "As soon as the meeting is finished, I dictate the action points and the meeting summary using the TranscribeMe iPhone app. Within a few minutes my PA receives the transcript and starts to act on the key points."
What would you say to others considering TranscribeMe?
"What most people don't realize is, TIME = MONEY. The small fee you pay to TranscribeMe is totally worth it because it frees your time to do what really matters and for me that means building the business, acquiring clients and increasing revenue. This is what I need to be doing rather than getting bogged down taking notes, etc…"
Chris is excited about other potential ways of using the TranscribeMe iPhone app like dictating emails, capturing thoughts and ideas, even recording and transcribing whole meetings.
Quality transcription services for market research enterprises
Client Industry Focus: Market Research
Ipsos is a global market research company with worldwide headquarters in Paris, France. Founded in 1975 and listed on the Paris Stock Exchange, it is an innovative, entrepreneurial, client-focused organization providing research services to clients from FMCG brands, to multinational banks, to national governments. With offices in 84 countries, it is the world's 3rd largest market research agency.
The Challenge
In a recent project, one of Australia's major banks approached the Ipsos New Zealand qualitative research team to conduct 12 in-depth interviews and 6 focus groups in Australia to help refine the launch of a new investment product.
The qualitative research team at Ipsos NZ, led by Bart and Diane, were presented with two challenges:
|As the product was nearing the final stages of development, the client wanted to discover the preliminary results from the market research in real-time, rather than having to wait a number of weeks for the final report to be delivered.
|Since the product related to complex investment-making decisions, the client wanted to connect with research subjects as closely as possible without being present at the interviews, and to capture the feedback of participants in a rich form.
The Solution
Ipsos New Zealand was looking for a fast, high quality and competitively priced transcription service to partner with for this project. They decided to do a trial partnership with TranscribeMe to see if a company, not an individual transcriber, could produce a comparably priced transcript in better time and at a higher level of quality.
The Result
Both Bart and Diane found that TranscribeMe offered an unbeatable transcription service for researchers:
|High quality, accurate transcripts (98%-100% accuracy)
|Fast turnaround time (24-48 hours)
|Round the clock availability. No downtime, and very responsive
|Simple to use:
|Files are uploaded directly from the web browser
|Unprecedented confidentiality using innovative speech processing technology
|The ability to identify male or female speakers in complex focus group environments with 5-8 speakers

Like any style of trading, executing successful binary options trades takes a bit of time and dedication.
After you've performed a number of trades on the platform, you'll have a better sense of how assets react in the short-term to financial news.
This insight will help when you take a view on if the price of the asset will increase or fall below the expiration price.
When trading binary options, you can gain more control over your trades by developing a planned approach in the amount you trade with and the types of trades you execute.
Following some simple tips can help you develop these plans, enabling you to experience better returns while managing your risk.
When you're trading binary options, plan on keeping an eye on how prices move at different times during the day.
Most assets have an optimal time to trade and understanding that is especially important when trading binary options due to the short-term nature of the trades.
For example, an American stock such as Google may typically release earnings announcements at the end of the trading day. Historically, this may have resulted in
the price of the Google option to rise shortly after the markets opened on the following day. Traders should take note of this movement so they have a better chance
of understanding how the price will move when Google's earnings announcements are released.
Finding the right asset that will meet your needs is very important when trading binary options.
Certain traders may be comfortable with some assets over others. Also there may be greater access to information on some assets, like indices and stocks,
than others in the markets. By having greater access to information you may be able to manage your risks better.
For example, if you have an understanding of the pharmaceutical sector and follow news around this industry, you may want to trade with a stock like Teva Pharmaceutical
Industries Ltd. By teaming your understanding of the industry with historical information on price movements, it will help you to predict the movements of the binary
option at the time and manage your risks.
The direction of price movements can take many forms – some can be hard to predict and others easier.
When the price is harder to predict, it obviously makes it a riskier trade. For instance, price movements may be hard to predict when there is a scheduled change in government.
This news may be positive to some and negative to others, making the price movements of the index largely dependent on the market reaction from the market and heavily
influenced on market analysts speculate.
Alternatively, a price movement may be easier to predict when the news is clearly of a positive or negative nature.
For instance, a company announcing positive earnings compared to the previous quarter or year and in relation to their competition, is likely to result in an increase
in the stock's price over the short-term.
Trading with binary options, like other forms of trading, requires planning if traders want to manage risks and reap long-term returns.
By taking the time to think ahead, traders can benefit from positive returns when executing their trading strategy.

Noble Movie Screening
On Sunday I sat in the Curzon Cinema surrounded by people who have all invested in the life, and story of Christina Noble to some level or degree. People who have invested an incredible amount of energy and love in to making a film of her life and her story. People who have read Christina's book and been in awe of her inspirational character ever since. People who have worked for Christina Noble Children's Foundation, Christina's charity who given energy and passion be a part of this organisation and to carry on the work that Christina started. In the room were two of Christina's daughters and four of her Grandson's; all incredible strong and beautiful people. It is to Christina's own credit that she couldn't be at the screening of the story of her life because she is currently out in the field, continuing her work in Mongolia during a 3 month stint away from home to oversee the foundation's works in Vietnam and Mongolia, overseeing the operations and spreading the word about what is so important in all this and which has been the key to Christina's life, to her pain, and to what she has endured: The Children. Christina was made to be the Children's warrior, the protector of the Street Children of Vietnam and Mongolia.
We came to the screening full of anticipation yet not quite sure what to expect. There were nerves for sure and a great deal riding on this. Stephen Bradley the director of the film, Melanie Gore-Grimes the producer and Deirdre O'Kane, who pushed for Christina's story to be told in film and who plays the main Christina Noble, and the generous and faithful backers had put everything into this film and believed wholeheartedly in it. I'm glad to say the heart shone through.
Christina's life as well as what she has made of it has been an incredible story, but one steeped in pain, hurt, and betrayal. As a child in the liberties and after the death of her beloved Mother, Christina and her siblings were given up by their alcoholic father who could not look after them and were sent to the harsh institutions in Ireland. Connemara was Christina's ultimate childhood destination, in her book 'Bridge Across my Sorrows', Christina describes it as "That Wild, Desolate, Wind-Swept and Storm-Lashed part of West Ireland." Bradley got it perfectly. The institution she went to was run by Catholic Nuns, she was branded "wild" and given a number as her new identity. There she lived a harsh time of neglect , emotional abuse and deprivation. Christina's childhood factored in more than one institute and a year long stint living in a hole in Phoenix Park, though this was not depicted in the film they stayed true to the feelings and true to emotions that Christina relays in her own telling of the story. Gloria Cramer-Curtis, as the young Christina was a perfect match, epitomising the playful and strong nature of Christina, the mini "Mammy" for her siblings and the incredible spirit to keep going.
Throughout Christina's life, she has suffered neglect, sexual abuse as a child, deprivation , cruelty, and injustice she has suffered gang-rape, had her baby in essence stolen from her, suffered domestic abuse, she has been attacked on many levels and hurt, yet her spirit, love and faith and wonderful sense of humour have always shone and been testament to her character. She continued her life also believing that there had to be something more, driven by her overwhelmingly wonderful heart and her fierce passion and her belief in justice. Even through all her heartache and pain she knew that she was enduring something to make her strong and to give reason to it all. She found that reason in the so called 'bụi đời' dust of life, the Street Children of Vietnam. Not dust in her eyes, but kindred spirits, for she was once like them.
During the film I saw children that I had looked after when I spent time volunteering in Vietnam, something that I was inspired to do by Christina's story. This took me totally by surprise, I completely welled up. For anyone who has met Christina and has joined her in her work, I know that they will have felt the same. That swell of pride and love. I know that there were few dry eyes in that room. To be a part of this and to serve these Children is truly an honour. Everyone who helps in any way is doing their bit and should never underestimate that.
The film follows a nonlinear narrative, something that as a viewer I did not expect, as I know the story in its chronology. However this surprise kept the story fresh for me. Despite coming to know it so intrinsically in working for Christina's Foundation, I felt myself wondering what would come next and intrigued by the decision making that Stephen the director would have had to have made in the way he wanted to portray the story. His method brought to mind the way we remember things from our past, this rang true of the way I have heard Christina tell stories of her life. Knowing Christina themselves, Stephen Bradley and Deirdre O'Kane treated her story with the upmost respect and love. This respect and love can be felt throughout by the whole of the wonderful cast and crew. You can feel that Christina's spirit has touched them all during this process, filming in Vietnam and on Set in Liverpool. There were stellar performances from all the actors involved, with the Vietnamese giving wonderful performances, I loved the way the ironic humour of the Vietnamese people was portrayed, their loyalty, love and pride, a country whose people so often get a bad rap. Actors from Nhu Quynh Nguyen as the incredibly strong woman who Christina joined with to rebuild the building that is now the social and medical centre to the young Tien Dat Nguyen who plays Christina's little right hand man, Lam. Liam Cunnigham created a brilliant depiction of Christina's father, or as Christina describes him in Mama Tina, my "useless drunken Daddy" a man deeply damaged with his alcohol addiction who, despite loving them, let his children down immeasurably in their childhood. Ruth Negga portrayed a funny and strong Irish woman and a friend to Christina, she added a great element of light humour in her acting and made us laugh, Brendan Coyle kept us guessing but was immediately likeable, there was almost a paternal element to his part. David Mumeni was truly nasty in his seduction and later oppression of the beautiful and spirited Christina played sensitively and wonderfully by Sarah Greene. We ached for her. Deirdre was wonderful and funny and passionate, there were some beautiful moments and the three Christina's merged so seamlessly. I felt fully engrossed, only jumping back to reality when recognising faces and the centre in Ho Chi Minh itself. Both delighted by this and overcome with emotion, pride for Christina for the incredible things that she has achieved, despite adversity.
The cinematography by Trevvor forest is incredibly beautiful and sensitively done, he captured each scene as if it could be a beautiful still, the sights and sounds of Vietnam, the boat-people and the Saigon River, the markets and the back streets to the streets of the Dublin Liberties. Alongside the story this just made it all the more thrilling to watch. Music was incredible, a triumph from Giles Martin and Ben Foster, beautiful, at times sad and at others rousing, timings always impeccable. Coldplay's "In my Place" was an incredibly moving choice. The hairs on the back of my neck shot up, as the camera panned the Sunshine school Children at the centre in Vietnam, eventually focusing on Christina's gorgeous, smiling face. I listened to it again today the same reaction came back. When a film stays with you the next day, you mull it over and replay the scenes in your head you know it's good. Noble fires you up and the message is strong.
It was incredible as the film met its crescendo, to see the journey that led Christina to starting the Christina Noble Children's Foundation, to see her talks with God, telling him in no uncertain terms that what he had in store for her better be good after everything she has been through and how good it has been. Christina's Foundation has helped over 600,000 children in Vietnam and Mongolia. Christina has fought many a battle and will continue to do so as long as she is able. For the children she loves, and respects, who deserve a childhood and a good foundation for life. Like she says in Noble, Christina Noble works for the Children.
Well done to cast and crew of Noble, the film received a standing standing ovation, it was clear that people were moved and touched.
Please keep your eyes peeled for the release of Noble, follow the film on twitter and facebook and spread the word. The message is not one to be missed, and one that in this current climate that we cannot afford to. Love, Hope, respect and Passion- never ever give up. Make sure you read Christina's books "Bridge Across my Sorrows" and "Mama Tina" for the story from Christina herself. Time to start planning the sequel Stephen?!
Please help and support Christina Noble Children's Foundation in any way that you can. I can tell you now, it will go straight to these amazing children.

The New York Mets have been unsuccessful in trying to find an adequate shortstop to replace Jose Reyes for two seasons, but Arizona Diamondbacks' shortstop-second baseman Chris Owings could be the answer to the Mets' shortstop woes.
Reyes was a very good shortstop, when he was healthy, for the Mets from 2003 to 2011. He managed to be successful despite hitting only 81 home runs during that time span; he was able to be successful by being a very good average hitter and base runner.
During his stint with the Mets, Reyes' worst batting average, when he played at least 100 games in a season, was .273 in 2005. This helped him finish with a .292 batting average while he was with the team. When Reyes was able to get on base, he was able to be very efficient on the base paths.
His worst stolen base season when he played at least 100 games was 30 in 2010. This led to him finishing with an impressive stolen base total, 370, during his stint with the team.
Reyes signed with the then-Florida Marlins succeeding the 2011 season. The Mets have been trying to find a good replacement for him, but they have been very unsuccessful.
In 2012, the Mets used Ruben Tejada as their primary shortstop in 114 games. He was only a very good average hitter, batting .289. Tejada only had four stolen bases that season and had 53 runs — Hitting for a .289 average is very good, but it means nothing if he cannot take advantage of it on the base paths.
In 2012, the Mets used Omar Quintanilla as their primary shortstop, 95 games. He was much worse than Tejada. Quintanilla had a .222 batting average and was very ineffective for the Mets. The Mets might have had enough of their poor offensive performances the past two seasons at the shortstop position, according to Michael Silverman of the bostonherald.com:
'I think it's more likely if we come up with a 'high-end' shortstop or someone we like, it's more likely to come in a trade,' (Mets' general manager Sandy) Alderson to reporters."
One possibility the Mets have been considering is signing free agent shortstop Stephen Drew, according to Mark Polishuk of MLBtraderumors.com. The problem with Drew is that he will turn 31-years-old in March.
This is a problem because they would probably have to give him a two-year contract. It would be a huge risk for the Mets because he has only played 100 games in a season once since 2010.
Another option the Mets have to get a potential upgrade at the shortstop position is Owings. He is 22 years old and he has shown that he can be a good every day shortstop. Owings was having a very good minor league season, prior to Diamondbacks calling him up in September. In his first Triple A season, 125 games, he smacked 12 home runs, scored 104 times, stole 20 bases and had a .330 batting average.
In limited playing time with the Diamondbacks, 20 games, he had a .291 batting average and stole two bases. Mark Anderson and Mike Gianella of baseballprospectus.com said that Owings can be "an above-average defender overall" and "post a .270-275 average, and the pop to pound 25 doubles and 15 home runs."
They also mentioned that he could steal 20 bases each year, prior to his September call-up.
Polishuk listed Owings as one of the shortstops that could be traded at some point this offseason. This is probably the case because the Diamondbacks have the efficient Aaron Hill at second base and a young player in Didi Gregorious at shortstop.
It is unknown what the Diamondbacks would want for Owings, but Owings' potential would make him an upgrade at shortstop over Tejada and Quintanilla.

About Selling Your Seeds
Consign Your Seeds
50 percent of the retail packet price after credit card fees. Restoration Seeds prints packets and fulfills with your bulk seed. Provide enough seed to fill 25–50 plus packets. We buy a lot of seed but some growers want the higher 50 percent consignment margin vs. just 3–5 percent of the retail packet price when selling in bulk.
Easy Listing
Quickly list your seeds on the List a Seed page, it only takes a few minutes. Minimum of 10 Listings. Growers who list more varieties receive more orders. We have found that listing 30 to 50 varieties is optimal to receive routine orders. We can accept new species submissions until about January 1st before the busy shipping season starts. After that, please hold new species not listed in the store until the fall.
Bulk Worksheet Submission
After you post your first listing and receive approval, you may submit several varieties all at once in bulk. See our List Seeds in Bulk page.
We offer resources to seed sellers on our Selling Seed Resources page. Our blog The Cleanest Row has new ideas for small farmers and home gardeners. We also offer the Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course with seed saving on our farm. New seed growers learn many aspects of the seed business through our Season Internships.
Preserve Open Pollinated Seeds
Open pollinated (OP) varieties are being replaced by hybrids in many seed catalogs or are not being maintained. Restoration Seeds is creating a vital network of seed growers and buyers to preserve OP genetic diversity, the heirlooms of today and tomorrow. If you are a Restoration Seeds customer, thank you for supporting family farmers. Together we are reinventing the seed business from the ground up. We sell what we grow and we know what we sow!
We need to turn the seed business upside down and get growers more of the retail price. — Chuck Burr

What you see above is what you see when you attempt to access the "Modern Sporting" rifles page on the Dick's Sporting Goods website. It's unclear how long the site will look like this, but for now this much is certain: The chain — which has 11 stores in Dallas-Fort Worth, including one across N. Central Expressway from NorthPark Center — has pulled from its shelves nationwide some of the very semi-automatic rifles the retailer was offering as a Black Friday deal just one month ago.
The store has also stopped showing and selling guns in its store near Newtown, Connecticut, where they've begun burying the children and educators killed on Friday.
In a statement sent to media this morning, the chain explains:
"We are extremely saddened by the unspeakable tragedy that occurred last week in Newtown, CT, and our hearts go out to the victims and their families, and to the entire community.
Out of respect for the victims and their families, during this time of national mourning we have removed all guns from sale and from display in our store nearest to Newtown and suspended the sale of modern sporting rifles in all of our stores chainwide.
We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to those affected by this terrible tragedy."

Silent deepness…
"April 10th 2010
Here I am, looking at my empty, blue to the end dashboard for the first time. "What is this?" "How does this work?" "How do I find people?" These are some of the many questions crossing my confused mind at the moment. But wait, there's this thing called Directory, I have to check that out.
Great! Wow, look at all these popular people featured here. These must be the best of the Tumblr blogs and I think it'd be a good idea to follow some of the ones on the Photography section but wait… damn! These people are so good, very inspiring indeed. It's gonna be hard to stand out from the rest, oh well… I think I'm not gonna be posting many things here anyways… Look, funny name, "Photographist". Is that even a word? "
That's how this person became the very first one I followed and really looked up to. Then, seven months later, in November, he started following me. Saying I was excited would be an understatement. I even remember the first time he replied to one of my posts, a painting I made back in the day.
He needs no further introduction because I know most of you, if not all, know him very well. He's Christian Villacillo, a talented artist whose incredible work has made him gain a large audience that praises the beauty he makes in all its forms.
But I'm not here to talk about the evident. I'm here to talk about Chris, the guy behind the artist, a person he allowed me to get to know a little better ever since we were just two strangers. You know, Chris doesn't talk much, but he listens, and he does that very well. He taught me that silence can be heard as loud as spoken words. He showed me that friendship can be found in the most unexpected places along with support and appreciation, that you can have a favorite tree, that Kristen Wiig is absolutely hilarious, and that you can love the smell of ink. He also taught me how to sign a print.
For all these things and more, not only do I consider him a great artist, but a dear friend.
Tonight, it's snowing on my desk. Tonight, it's Canada cold in Puebla. Tonight, your prints arrived in their new home…
Thanks for everything, my good friend!
All the best!
