Boys Basketball: Thornton falls to St. Patrick in three OTs
By Michael Wojtychiw For Sun-Times Media December 9, 2012 10:28PM
Updated: January 11, 2013 6:14AM
St. Patrick escaped Thornton on Sunday afternoon, pulling out a 79-73 triple-overtime thriller at the Ridgewood Shootout.
Tied at 69 after two overtimes, the Shamrocks (5-2) started the third extra frame on a 5-0 run and didn't allow a Thornton point until there was 30 seconds left in the period. St. Patrick forced three missed shots and a turnover on Thornton's first four possessions.
"I've never been a part of a crazy game like this,'' St. Patrick's Elijah Watson said. "We just had to keep going hard and not give up.''
The Shamrocks were happy to have Watson and fellow senior Royale Ewing back after the duo missed play last week because of disciplinary issues. The two combined for 51 points Sunday, with Ewing scoring a game-high 27 points and Watson adding 24.
Without Ewing, St. Patrick probably would not have forced double overtime. Ewing stepped to the line with eight-tenths of a second remaining and his team down two and made both free throws. He was able to get to the line because Thornton turned the ball over with 6.1 seconds remaining when a Wildcat stepped out of bounds with the ball.
Despite Justin Taylor picking up three quick fouls in the first quarter, Thornton (2-4) led 30-24 at the half.
The Shamrocks cut the deficit to 38-36 after three quarters. Thornton connected on only 3-of-10 shots in the period.
St. Patrick, which spent most of the first three quarters driving to the basket, had to change its game plan in the fourth quarter as fouls on its players mounted. Ewing and two other Shamrocks picked up their fourth fouls in the fourth period.
"We had to be more conservative and not drive as hard as we would normally,'' Watson said. "We couldn't afford to have any of those guys out so we changed it up a little bit.''
Demarcus Turner led Thornton with 17 points. Taylor recovered from early foul trouble and finished with 14 points.

Tips for Buying Used Photographic Equipment
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
Following up on our previous post on buying refurbished and particularly used equipment, here are some tips for you to make the right choice when buying used photographic gear.
Michael Zhang over at PetaPixel has written two great posts which cover all major aspects that one needs to be aware of when purchasing second hand. In the first post, he mentions the advantages and basic tips regarding used equip, including where to buy from, what to buy, whats the right price, and plenty of other actually street usable tips.
The second post details on examining and testing the equipment before making the purchase. He also recommends meeting up and checking the gear personally as far as possible. This is where craigslist helps as you can find good deals in your own city, or close by. Buying from other sites like eBay or photographic forums is also fine, but then the risk is obviously higher. When buying without personal examination, it helps if you have a relative or a friend close to the seller's location who can go and examine it for you and take delivery if you so wish. I did that and saved quite a bit of dough on a great deal being offered by a guy in the other corner of the country. My uncle who is an experienced photographer went, checked and approved the equipment before I made the payment and had it shipped. If not, then you should at least ask for pictures taken using the lens, and of the lens, clearly showing the glass on both sides.
You can read the posts here, and here. I'm sure you'll benefit a great deal, because he's written from experience (and the fact that all of his equipment except his camera body is used, does indicate quite a bit of experience )

An Eye on the Time
It has been a week since the New Year and if you are like most of us, you've already begun to stumble with your resolutions. Maybe it took longer to get to the gym or you decided to skip a leg day (don't skip leg day). Or perhaps you've once again shelved your spiffy side project as soon as you were reminded to the reason why you still hadn't finished it. And is any of this really a surprise? Let's be honest, even if we kept the New Year momentum going year-round, it is only a slight defense against arch-nemesis procrastination.
Making the Momentum of a New Year Last
Your gym is packed, inspirational status updates proliferate Facebook, and more than one acquaintance has dug out a pet project that has become the subject of every conversation. You recognize the symptoms: It's the New Year.
Don't Turn Down, Counteroffer
A lot of businesses look at problems as one-dimensional. They see a pile of potential issues and have no choice but to turn down a client because the work is seemingly beyond their scope. This is a mistake. Never turn down work without making a counteroffer — unless not working is your goal.
There are a lot of reasons why you would turn down a job. Perhaps your potential client is working with a budget far below your pay rate or perhaps the scope of work is beyond what an individual can accomplish.
Previously, I described a client who came to me with academic work and how the ethical standards I follow led me to turn down the job. Over the last few years, I've developed a method of turning down work in ways that open up the potential for renewed interest.
Unfortunately because this is for academic credit I cannot provide any help beyond edits. I understand this is a very difficult task for you, but I know you are capable of doing it — after all you were accepted into the program.
My suggestion to you is this:
- Analyze your assignment, figure out what it is that you have to do.
- Write a list of keywords that are related to your field and what you may want to write about. Create your idea. It can be far-fetch, it can be strange — but no matter what your idea is, it won't be bad.
- Search each term on Wikipedia — the content on the site itself is no use to you, but the links to the original sources at the bottom of the page are.
- Scan through the sources and find ones that are most relevant and easy to understand. Things published the last few years are great.
- Once you have your sources, connect what they have to say with your idea. Now write.
Writing is simply thinking and putting together thoughts. It will be difficult, it will take effort, but you can do it. I will do everything I can to perfect what you write, but you have to do the writing. They have to be your thoughts and your ideas.
No matter what you write, no matter how strange your ideas, they will be 1,000 times better than rewriting another paper. You'll get the same or even a better score; you'll have learned something; and you won't risk your academic career.
Take the high road, sacrifice a few days for this project. I'll be here to help every step of the way.
Another Look at Wal-Mart's Crowdsourcing Delivery Service
A Problem
Picture this: It's Saturday afternoon, you just woke up and don't feel like dressing up to go shopping for food. But you need to eat and your waistline compels you not to order takeout again. So this time, you hop on the computer, navigate to Wal-Mart, and start shopping. Now, online shopping is not something new; stores like Safeway have had it for years with scheduled delivery service. The difference, in this case, is the response time. Your deliveryman isn't a Wal-Mart employee, but rather your next-door crowdsourcing neighbor who happens to be an early bird who is browsing through Wal-Mart just as your order comes in. As an added bonus, you go ahead and throw in the fourth season of Breaking Bad Blu-Ray set for a marathon weekend.
Solution: Crowdsourcing
Last year I wrote about my disappointment with Wal-Mart's approach to dealing with a competitor. Rather than focus on finding ways to outmaneuver Amazon, Wal-Mart decided to stop selling the Kindle in its stores. I argued that Wal-Mart would have been better served by using the profit from selling Kindles to fund changes in its business model to better compete. Recently, Reuters broke a story describing Wal-Mart's interesting approach to try and one-up the online behemoth.
Wal-Mart has millions of customers visiting its stores each week. Some of these shoppers could tell the retailer where they live and sign up to drop off packages for online customers who live on their route back home, [Joel Anderson, chief executive of Walmart.com in the United States] explained.
Crowdsourcing delivery services? I think Wal-Mart has found its anti-Amazon strategy. Let's break it down.
- Even if there is just a small incentive, there will be people lining up to participate. With just 1% participation, Wal-Mart would be able to support an average of 33 to 67 deliveries per day at each store (assuming each participant is willing to deliver between one and two orders per trip).
- Each additional percent in sales translates to an another $4 billion in revenue each year for Wal-Mart.
- Wal-Mart can run online delivery specials as additional inventory management strategies for phased-out items or perishables to improve profit margins by mitigating losses.
- People are basically honest, especially when personal identity is revealed and thrown into the vetting procedure. This means incidents of theft should be relatively low.
- Amazon reported a $39 million loss last year. A surge in R&D spending is a contributing factor, but it shows Amazon's position as being quite fragile. Even small changes in areas like delivery costs and tax regulations have the potential to cause it trouble. On the other hand, Wal-Mart has shown financial resiliency during Amazon's rapid growth period. This means that Wal-Mart isn't being rushed into making this service work; Wal-Mart has time to incubate the program while perfecting it over time.
If Wal-Mart can build a better user interface to improve the online shopping experience for its stores and entice shoppers to participate in its home delivery service, then the store is poised to reclaim shoppers who may have favored online options. And with the potential of same-day deliveries at little to no additional cost, Wal-Mart could even see gains. Of course, this delivery system is still in the development stage so there's a chance everything works much differently than described in the Reuters article.
At any rate, the concept makes for an excellent brainstorming project to show off the power of crowdsourcing in solving problems. Next, I'd like to look for other ways that Amazon can leverage crowdsourcing to its own advantage (since they've already started with the book lending program).
Effective Communication to the End
Yesterday one of my favorite websites on the Internet announced they were shutting down. To me, losing GameSpy is tantamount to hearing that the Tombs or a favorite theme park would be closing. These are places—virtual and physical—where I spent a significant amount of time feeling a part of something. Restructuring is painful and though I think it is a business necessity that should be embraced more often, I cannot help but feel bitterness when it happens to people or companies that I know. But there's a lesson to be learned here and that's one of effective communication, even to the end.
For most businesses the end comes unceremoniously—and as T. S. Eliot once said about the world in some distant future— with a whimper. You'd be on your way to a favorite hangout place when you spot the boarded up windows and a hastily written sign on the door, before finally noticing the cold stillness in the air. A trip to a dead website is not dissimilar. Your arrival is met with a barren skeleton of a page, a list of links pointing you everywhere but where you wanted to be—the telltale sign of a domain snuffed of life.
GameSpy.com will eventually share that fate, but for now its staff continue to do what they've done so well for the last few years: creating a robust community through effective communication. Their farewell letter reads like one that would be sent out by freedom fighters who recognize their defeat, but who want their supporters to know the cause was just.
…we're not being shut down because PC gaming isn't a big, important, and growing thing — because it is… We'll still be out there talking and writing about the great things happening in the world of PC gaming, both at IGN and other places around the internet, because it's what we love to do. It's why we wanted to work at GameSpy in the first place. We hope you'll keep reading and watching and talking about PC games with us.
Effective communication is about preserving a thought. Not too long ago, GameSpy refocused its mission to cover the PC gaming scene. At the time, PC gaming was mocked and repeatedly labeled as a dying platform. Fast-forward to today and we see a whole new side of PC gaming: from indie developers finding clout on Kickstarter to passionate modders who can completely transform an average game experience into something truly special. GameSpy did not bring PC gaming to life; they simply showed us that there was never any doubt of it going away to begin with.
GameSpy may no longer exist, but they convinced at least one person that PC gaming is here to stay. And judging by the community response to their letter, I think its safe to say I won't be the only one.
Hold Onto Those Happy Thoughts
When it comes to happy thoughts, perspective is everything.
Rain, Rain, Go Away…
For many people, rain is a sad, dreary experience. But not for me. I love the rain, it reminds me of Florida where I grew up looking forward to hurricane season and the chance of school being canceled. And where mid-summer night thunderstorms rocked me to sleep and lit the night sky so every now and then I could see the lake in the backyard rippling with new, invigorated life borrowed from each falling drop of rain. So nothing but happy thoughts.
Back then it was easy to hold onto that perspective. I was an only child, so my dog was the only other person I had to convince to believe thunder and lightening were not so bad. I never convinced him, but he also never tried convincing me otherwise (except by huddling in extra close when it thundered). People are not as considerate.
When I got to college my living situation changed dramatically. Where before I lived practically alone, I was now surrounded by people with vocal convictions and opinions. My happy thoughts immediately bestowed me the label of an optimist and it seemed like every person I met saw rain as a dreadful fact of life — a horrid side effect right up there with flu, trips to the dentist, and having your ears pop when you reach altitude.
For one year I resisted their influence. I continued living as I had always lived, a secluded monk-like guy who listened to strange music, liked to talk about the prospects of immortality, and couldn't be bothered to check or wear what was still fashionable during the last decade. Eventually, however, I cracked.
A lot of the changes were for the better. I became less secluded and started going out more often. I refined my outlook and became open to new music, a bit of style, and even took a deeper look into spirituality and alternatives to religion. In this aspect, I found my enjoyment in life go up and I looked forward to even greater change. But not all change is good.
Because I was changing into something I was not, and because the transformation is rarely ever instantaneous, during my second and third year in college I was in an awkward limbo where I was stuck in between identities. I saw myself in the mirror and was not happy with the person who looked back.
There was emptiness in my eyes, as if the joy of life had been sucked out. The smile that I once wore proudly seemed an illusion. Ironically, it was late at night (and often when under the influence) when I noticed my transformation the most. It was as if I was yanked out of my body and held up on display for my own amusement. Stretch out, I saw myself for what I had become: someone who had given up who he was in pursuit of something he never wanted.
I never wanted to be the cool guy, the Mr. Popular, the brainiac, or anything else that could be thrown into one of the stereotypes, but those are all still infinitely better than what I had become: a fake.
Happy Thoughts
By senior year I was angry with myself. I refused to go out as much, I cut back on drinking, and began funneling myself away from those I felt were negative influences. It wasn't an easy journey and I've made many mistakes along the way. Although I am still far from being the person I was back when I eagerly awaited for hurricanes, I'm finally starting to notice a difference. My happy thoughts are back.
And don't for a second dismiss the value of happy thoughts, they make all the difference in the world. On the bus ride back from New York last weekend, I sat next to a new mother and her baby. The mother was a huge Disney fan and we had lots of stories to share (I practically grew up in Disney World). When I mentioned I had worked at Disney once, she immediately asked me how was it that all of the employees at Disney are always so friendly. I thought about it, then realized the entire theme park was one massive happy thought.
Then came her next question.
"So, what about Mickey Mouse. Who is under there?"
I simply smiled and shook my head.
She laughed, "Still don't talk about that, even after all these years?"
Here I was, miles and years away from Walt Disney World and somehow still felt their influence. That's the power of happy thoughts.
The Sin of Overlooking Business Restructuring
Overlooking business restructuring when a company is doing well is a huge mistake.
Let's think about that. We all know about business restructuring, especially now at the start of a new year when managers and directors take a hard look at their budget to decide who stays and who has to go. There is a problem with this behavior, because it suggests restructuring is about the money (it *is* about the money, but it shouldn't be the catalyst that companies wait for to act). So if the business were doing well, no one would have to be "restructured" into unemployment. Waiting to reorganize a company until it is performing poorly is the sort of reactionary decision-making that puts companies in awkward situations (think: Netflix's attempt to split its DVD service).
What Should Business Restructuring Mean?
I believe in restructuring not as a euphemism for layoffs, but as a core tenant in every business model. We obviously recognize that as technologies change daily operations will develop redundancies, so positions that were vital five years ago may not be so important today. However, we should consider the benefits the individuals behind those positions could bring if drawn into other segments of the business. These are individuals who have stayed for five years, who have developed insights to how things are run, and likely desire to do more but haven't the opportunity to try. Blanket layoffs do not solve problems. It may temporarily bandage the balance sheets from a gushing wound, but it does not address why a company is less competitive.
Instead of waiting for technology to create redundancies, I posit that every business should aim to reallocate its resources every year, perhaps even every six months. Why? Well, let's ask ourselves a few questions about the role of regular maintenance in our lives.
Not Waiting Until a Problem Becomes a Crisis
Does one ignore the dentist when told to go back in six months for another cleaning? How about the mechanic who recommends a tuneup and oil change every few months? And an airplane? They are checked prior to takeoff. In these examples, it is understood that regular maintenance is the best method to prevent more serious problems. Should businesses be any different?
Let's look at the symptoms: List of companies laying off employees, apparently because Barak Obama was reelected.
Laying off due to a poor economy, or because someone was reelected, or because the company has had a bad quarter are equally poor reasons to let people go. The economy doesn't go from good to bad from one day to the next, a president isn't elected without prior knowledge of his candidacy, and a bad quarter can be spotted months in advance. The point is, these are all examples of companies that have chosen to react instead of plan ahead.
We are not living in a world where static, unchanging companies pave the way to the future. Dynamic environments where resources can be shifted and adapted at a moment's notice should be the norm and the way businesses of all kinds operate. People are smart, ambitious, and informed. They have an earnest desire to contribute to a company's bottom line, but they also desire engagement. Fortunately, the two do not have to be mutually exclusive.
Regular dosage of the good kind of restructuring can keep employees engaged, prevent managers from growing complacent, and keep the company moving in a forward direction. Business restructuring would become something everyone looks forward to.

I will articulate the position of this "resistance camp," which is closely identified with Hezbollah's position on Syria, and explain the rationale behind its controversial and unpopular position.

HoopsHype Jamaal Tinsley rumors
Alex Kennedy: Utah Jazz haven't indicated if they'll pick up Jamaal Tinsley's team option. "All you can do is control what you can control," Tinsley said. Twitter
The Jazz have until June 30th to decide their team option on back-up point guard Jamaal Tinsley. It is believed that Utah has to make a decision on Carroll the same day. Salt Lake Tribune
Steve Luhm: GM Kevin O'Connor says Jazz have until June 30 to exercise $1.35 million option on Jamaal Tinsley and won't do anything before then. Twitter
Tinsley and Howard might even be back next season. "You never commit to anything because you're always trying to improve your team," O'Connor said. "But they didn't do anything to prevent them from coming back, let's put it that way." Salt Lake Tribune
Tinsley, especially, put together the kind of season that every team seeks from its No. 3 point guard. He stayed ready, produced when called upon, and was a model of professionalism off the court and dealing with the media. Salt Lake Tribune
Tinsley did not play in the NBA for two seasons. He started this year in the D-League, before O'Connor signed him. Did the gamble pay dividends? Said O'Connor: "What I would say, both Jamaal and Josh were not only model citizens but good examples of somebody who got a second chance and performed pretty well." Salt Lake Tribune
Jamaal Tinsley: Id like to thank the ENTIRE Jazz organization for the opportunity this season, it was great playing in front of the best fans in the world Twitter
The nine-year veteran doesn't jog just to count calories; he never obsesses over time. Tinsley just runs. Pushing his body until it's working best. Pushing his mind until it's working better. Heart pumping, lungs breathing, feet moving. All in the name of mental toughness. Tinsley escapes for 45 minutes, an hour — whatever he feels and whatever it takes. When the former NBA outcast casually ripped through seven miles Wednesday afternoon before he scored seven points, dished out four assists and played 28 minutes while guiding home Utah's 103-91 victory against the Houston Rockets, it was just another daily workout for the basketball lifer. "You're blocking everything out and just going out there and trying to achieve something," said Tinsley, 34. The Brooklyn, N.Y., native hated running as a kid. To the point that when Tinsley tried out for his first basketball team and his coach barked out the standard "go run laps" command, Tinsley walked out the door. Salt Lake Tribune
Tinsley found a Bruce Lee poster in the training room and, as a joke, taped it up next to the locker of rookie Enes Kanter in the Staples Center visitors' room. "I put it over there by his locker to give him something look at. He probably don't even know who he is," Tinsley joked. "I was a big fan." Kanter said he'd heard of Lee before, but Tinsley added, "He's like, 'What's this?'" Deseret News
The San Antonio Spurs, Utah Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves are discussing a three-team deal, according to sources close to the situation. Nothing is imminent, but the teams will continue to talk over the next two days. In the rumored deal, the Spurs would acquire Josh Howard, the Timberwolves would acquire C.J. Miles and Jamaal Tinsley and the Jazz would acquire Danny Green and Wayne Ellington. Other players and draft picks will likely be included in the finalized trade. HoopsWorld
In the rumored deal, the Spurs would acquire Josh Howard, the Timberwolves would acquire C.J. Miles and Jamaal Tinsley and the Jazz would acquire Danny Green and Wayne Ellington. Other players and draft picks will likely be included in the finalized trade. Utah holds a $10.9 traded-player exception and San Antonio holds a $854,400 traded-player exception as well. Sources described the talks as ongoing, but stressed that no deal is imminent. HoopsWorld
Brian T. Smith: Jamaal Tinsley's contract has been guaranteed by #UtahJazz for remainder of the year. Twitter
Jamaal Tinsley isn't asking around. He doesn't leave messages for his agent. He's never pestered the Jazz, inquiring about his future. All Tinsley knows is that Utah's a great place for him right now. And he hopes his stay in Salt Lake City continues for the foreseeable future. NBA contracts are guaranteed for the remainder of the season Feb. 10. Heading into a game Saturday against Sacramento, Tinsley should have at least 12 more days in a Utah uniform. He hopes it's longer, though, and he'd be excited if the Jazz kept him on their roster for the remainder of the 2011-12 season. "I would love to be here. But certain things you can't control," the 33-year-old said Tinsley, prior to tipoff against the Kings. Salt Lake Tribune
Raymond Brothers, Tinsley's agent, said his client would be thrilled if he ended the season with the Jazz. "Utah's a first-class organization all the way around and [general manager] Kevin O'Connor does a great job," Brothers said. "We hope it works out. Jamaal loves it there and everything's been a great fit for him so far." Salt Lake Tribune
Is the head-up-at-all-times 6-foot-3 Tinsley, 33, the answer? The Knicks supposedly wanted him around the same time the Jazz scooped him up from the D-League L.A. D-Fenders. That didn't necessarily mean D'Antoni wanted him, only that someone in management voiced interest What's more, it definitely doesn't mean D'Antoni — his history with Brooklyn-born guards being what it is— even would play Tinsley if the Knicks somehow managed to get him. New York Post
The "point" is, if Tinsley isn't available at the moment, in only a matter of weeks he may shake free. Should the Jazz keep him past Feb. 10, his contract becomes fully guaranteed. New York Post
The Jazz waived Paul Carter, Trey Gilder, Keith McLeod and Scottie Reynolds on Wednesday. Utah's roster is at 14. Jazz General Manager Kevin O'Connor said Carter could land with the Idaho Stampede, Utah's NBA Development League affiliate. Veteran point guard Jamaal Tinsley made the initial cut. He will continue to back up Devin Harris and Earl Watson. Salt Lake Tribune
Marc Stein: Mavs announced Williams signing today. Team has day off so asked new shotblocker to make one-game cameo v Jamaal Tinsley's LA Defenders Twitter
Marc Stein: Tinsley, tho, will NOT be there because he survived final Jazz cuts and looks set to make Utah's roster. So he's not going back to D-League Twitter
Any rumor missing? E-mail us at email@example.com.

Evening Sun
Home Town in Evening Sun
This is my home town of Killybegs in county Donegal Ireland. It was taken this evening last year at 18.22.
Four years ago today I posted my first photo on the Dailies. I have learned a lot, beeen inspired and supported. I have never completed a complete year due to the very unexpected health issues first (and still) Phill faced and then my own cancer diagnosis in January 2012. Through it all I have had wonderful support from friends here from thoses I met here foru years ago and new ones I have met since. A massive Thank You to each and every one of you.

Will American cops and military turn on American gun owners? Not with Oath Keepers standing in the gap.
We ALL hope your right Bill, but you must be wearing blinders not to see what's happening all over America. Police are literally beating and stomping the Rights out of ANYBODY who dares to stand up for them! Now I've seen a very few videos of officers actually standing up for our Constitution and Bill of Rights, yet I've seen thousnds of videos of of just the opposite, sickening, and very, very, disheartening. I'll visit the Oath Keepers site and what's shaking there and pray there's some small glimmer of hope, but I gotta tell ya, from my limited experience, it won't be the vest I'm aiming for.

Blog updates directly to your inbox.
Selecting fiction for the library reminds me of The Devil Wears Prada. True, there's no dragon-lady boss mistaking my desk for the coat closet (though I wouldn't mind being first in line for Meryl Streep's character's rejected designer bribes and handbag samples). My office space isn't awash in Gucci belts and Manolo Blahnik footwear, but the pile of current publishing journals offers scores of next-season book reviews. The common factor is this: proximity to an endless supply of tempting goods.
Usually our best hope for pleasing all our readers is to opt for titles from many different genres: romance, western, fantasy, mystery, etc. When something new comes along with the promise of gratifying more than one audience--even better. Helen Simonson's new Major Pettigrew's Last Stand is a case in point.
Reviewers have been chatting up this book for months. They predict it'll be a hot property for book clubs, noting the story's witty balance of village charm and contemporary issues. From all reports, readers like me who demand exceptionally well-drawn characters will judge the Major to be a worthy protagonist. Tempting, indeed.
So, I checked out the library's copy as soon as it was cataloged. There was no waiting list then, but that's changing. I thought Major Pettigrew's Last Stand lived up to the early buzz: inventive plot, authentic characterization, tone that is consistently warm-hearted without devolving into cutesiness. Simonson exhibits a deft hand with prose, particularly dialogue. After a couple of "let me just read you this paragraph" episodes, my husband declared himself sold on Simonson's style and on the story's interracial romance premise. This novel's social relevance is practically guaranteed to prevent the dreaded silence after your book club's initial round of "I enjoyed it, too" votes.
An additional design feature you couldn't expect from Gucci, Prada, or Michael Kors: As demonstrated this past weekend, Major Pettigrew accessorizes just fine with either a Marshall's clearance rack ensemble or the classic pajamas and fuzzy slippers.

Digital Snake External Power Supply Unit
The S-240P is designed to be used with the S-4000S or S-4000H units that are part of an RSS S-4000 Modular Digital Snake. When properly connected, the S-240P will supply power to, and allow the continued operation of, the S-4000 unit that it is connected to in case the internal power supply of the S-4000S or S-4000H is damaged and fails; or if the power switch on the unit is accidentally turned off. In these rare and unexpected cases, the S-240P will allow the S-4000 unit to keep working and the audio of the system will continue without interruption. For this reason, we suggest that, whenever possible, the S-240P should be plugged into a circuit that is separate from the circuit supplying the power to the S-4000S or S-4000H.

Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster, who set off a firestorm by hitting Alex Rodriguez Sunday night in Boston, was given a five-game suspension and an undisclosed fine Tuesday because Major League Baseball says he intentionally threw at the controversial Yankee slugger.
Dempster is not appealing, but claims it was not intentional.
The 36-year-old former All-Star said he felt it was in the best interest of his team not to appeal.
With the Red Sox off Thursday, it wouldn't make much of an impact on the rotation, and that's not sitting too well with Yankees manager Joe Girardi or the team's fans.
"If you suspend a position player three games, he misses three games. You can suspend a pitcher five games, even six games, and they may not miss a start if the off days come into play," Girardi said. "So that's why I think everything has to be taken into account when you make a suspension. Not just in this case. All the time."
"I think it should have been more," said another. "I think for a position player, five days is pretty good, but for a pitcher, he's not even going to miss anything."
Girardi was ejected from the game for vehemently arguing that Dempster should have been tossed.
The Yankees manager was fined a reported $5,000, twice as much as what Dempster was reportedly fined.
Girardi said that Dempster needed to be suspended or else it would be "open season" on A-Rod.
The Yankees and Red Sox meet again on September 5 in the Bronx.

Body image and self esteem influence your weight 4. Get the life you want and you'll get the weight you want.Aimed at women aged 25-50 My Bum Looks Brilliant covers all the relevant issues: fat vs skinny genes; getting older; stressful and busy lives; relationships; enjoying exercise; self-image and emotional eating, among others, in a chatty accesible (not scientific) style.

London Fashion Week by Brenda Annerl, used under a Creative Commons Attribution License 2.0, Available at http://www.flickr.com/photos/brendaannerl/2283480039/lightbox/
The fashion elite are heading to the capital this month, for London Fashion Week – and if you're following in their elegant footsteps, you can indulge in a stylish city break at one of our luxurious Guoman hotels.
Read on to find out which London hotspots you should be seen at during your stay.
From rubbing shoulders with the Kings and Queens of haute couture at London Fashion Week (17 – 22 February 2012) to drinking champagne in celebrity haunts, you'll find plenty of opportunities to be seen in the capital.
And if you're heading to London for a city break with style, choose one of our luxurious Guoman hotels as your base. Whether you prefer historic grandeur or contemporary elegance, we have a hotel to suit you, and you'll be perfectly placed for visiting the city's hottest venues.
The cream of the catwalk shows
London Fashion Week's catwalk shows attract fashionistas from around the world. This year's programme includes shows by fashion royalty such as Vivienne Westwood, Jasper Conran, Paul Smith, Christopher Kane and Nicole Fahri, as well as younger labels like Jonathan Saunders, Sophie Hulme and Jackie JS Lee.
The announcement that Stella McCartney will be showing a one-off collection at this year's event has already created a buzz in the fashion world – and with McQ by Alexander McQueen's first catwalk show and Mochino Cheap and Chic's first debut outside of Milan on the schedule too, London Fashion Week 2012 is likely to attract some well-heeled celebrity guests.
It's the perfect event to attend if you want to be seen while finding out what's going to be on trend this autumn and winter – and if you stay at a Guoman hotel, you can be at the heart of the action.
The Charing Cross Hotel is just a short walk from Somerset House (the main venue for London Fashion Week), and the Vauxhall Fashion Scout Venue and Topman Venue at the Royal Opera House are also close by.
The Tower Hotel is also within easy reach of both the Topshop Venue and the My Beautiful Fashion Venue (Goldsmiths' Hall).
Stylish stores and beautiful boutiques
London isn't just a fashionable destination during Fashion Week – it's one of the world's style capitals and its home to many designer flagship stores, including footwear designer Kurt Geiger's store in Covent Garden, Tommy Hilfiger's Knightsbridge store, jewellery designer Solange Azagury-Partridge's Bond Street store, Amanda Wakeley's Fulham Road store and bridal wear designer Jenny Packham's store in Belgravia.
This month, fashionistas are in for another treat, with the opening of Stella McCartney's second London store in Brompton Road, giving the well-heeled yet another reason to take a shopping break in the capital.
Don't forget to visit London's famous department stores – Harvey Nichols, Harrods, Selfridges and Liberty – as each stocks designer labels and diffusion lines.
Refined restaurants, chic clubs and buzzing bars
Whether you prefer elegant dining venues or vibrant bars, you'll find them in London. Enjoy a sumptuous meal at a Michelin star restaurant, such as our own Rhodes W1 Restaurant at The Cumberland Hotel or The Greenhouse in Mayfair, before heading out to enjoy a cocktail or two at ultra-trendy Jewel in Covent Garden and dancing the night away at celebrity favourite Dstrkt near Piccadilly Circus.
Well-heeled fashion followers who fancy a tipple will also feel at home at The Grosvenor's glamorous Reunion champagne and cocktail bar – which will be serving up special cocktails dedicated to famous fashion labels and designers such as 'The Mulberry', 'Goochi' and 'Numero Cinq'.
Do you know any secret London style hotspots? Just let us know by leaving a comment below …

ABC News is putting the spotlight on the Wiley Protocol this Friday, February 16, in a 20/20 story titled, "Promises Promises – From losing weight to staying young, how NOT to believe the hype." Among those interviewed for the program was Madeleen Herreshoff, a breast cancer survivor who sought relief from menopause in the Wiley Protocol, only to find herself suffering unbearable side-effects and with no solutions from Wiley. (She also found herself the target of Neil Raden's harassment when she spoke openly about her experiences. We at Wiley Watch applaud her courage in continuing to do so.)
Suzanne Somers and T.S. Wiley were also interviewed and presumably will be defending themselves and their actions. I anticipate more of what we've learned to expect: avoiding pointed questions by changing the subject and attacking the victims, topped with a big dollop of self-enshrinement.
Update: I'm told the Madeleen Herreshoff interview has been cut from the piece. It appears that Wiley managed to muddy the waters with the ABC News producers by alleging that Ms. Herreshoff wasn't following the protocol - that she was using an olive oil base instead of the official, licensed Wiley Protocol cream. Wiley claims that this was the source of her difficulties. Yet Ms. Herreshoff says she followed the protocol and used Wiley-branded product for about three months, and switched to olive oil only when the side-effects became intolerable.
It should be noted that the use of olive oil cuts Wiley out of the revenue stream. Wiley stridently warned those who were considering olive oil that they were not following the protocol and would be denied consultation. She also insisted that olive oil was ineffective, despite its well-established utility as a base for transdermal steroid delivery and despite the empirical results of the women who switched away from the Wiley cream.
I'm not sure where this message is going but I recently took myself off the Wiley Protocol after barely getting through the third month. I was experiencing anxiety to the point of panic attacks and now am having insomnia along with anxiety, depression and crying spells. I am looking for other women who have experienced this and how they have recovered. Help!
Began Wiley end of Feb 2007. Am having problems with weight gain/craving for carbs, anxiety, severe insomnia, chin whiskers. Am thinking about cutting back to a couple lines of estrogen and only 1 line of progesterone last 14 days of month and see what that does. Cannot get an answer from Wiley folks - have sent email and phoned 2 users from web site. Appreciate any comments/thoughts.
Well, I know where you are coming from. I had cut back on my eating and stopped drinking pepsi and had lost 22 pounds in two months. After starting the wiley protocol I haven't lost any. As a matter of fact I have probably gained. Afraid to step on a scale. I even started exercising and it's made no difference. I either can't sleep at all or am so tired I don't want to get up. The chin whiskers stink. Once you start getting them you can't get rid of them. I used the protocol for a month and my breats hurt so bad I can't stand it. I quit for a couple of weeks and the doctor insisted I go back on it. I am going to quit it. It is killing me. Good Luck
Please tell me how you took your self off the wiley Protocol did you stop all at once? I was told to stop on day 12day. I have yet to have a normal period and was pretty normal before i stated Wiley. I am on day 19 but started bleeding so I was told to start back to as if it was day 1. My family dr. has put me on a mild 2mg valuim and I had to go blood pressure meds until I can get this out of my system Go to a good family Dr and explain everything and it should be a women. Or A good OBGYN. Please tell me how you stopped.
It is unfortunate that too much of the comment on this issue, on both sides,
is presented in a non-professional sniping manner. It makes those
of us who have become part of this more uncomfortable than ever. The
vindictiveness of the producers of this site truly makes one question their
motives. May I suggest that the anger be left behind and the addressing of
the issue be more clinical and compassionate to all parties. Otherwise, any
motive to help is diminished. After all, this is supposed to be about people's
lives and health, not about petty competition. As a person from the older
generation, I have come to the conclusion that too many people today
were placed in daycare too early, making them fearful and overly
competitive; and though I am a feminist, I often long for the gentler
times when people treated each other with more respect. (And I'll admit
I sometimes fall into defensiveness and less attractive discourse with so
much vitriol firing about.) We all can do this, analyze the situation and
present what has happened - recognizing that people are human and that
they make mistakes - and go from there in figuring out what is best for us all.
I only hope that all that has been presented is legitimate and is not in any
way influenced by duplicitous parties as that of the notorious quackwatch
site that is sponsored by big pharma. The individual stories appear to
be honest and I've spoken with one pharmacy that no longer espouses the
protocol readily, so I believe the individual reports. But remember, it seems to
work for some, so the idea is to find what works for each of us. I am especially
concerned that there are toxins in the creams, that is not wise in any way.
Good luck to everyone in this.
It makes sense to me to replace hormones the way nature had them in our 20s and 30s. Now thanks to TS Wiley selling at least some doctors and pharmacists on the idea of replacing sex hormones this way, I finally can try this with my sex hormones (too bad not HGH, too), and I have decided to try it starting in July (2008).
I wish Wiley weren't making money from selling the protocol, that her book sales and appearances were enough to support her at the level she feels she must live. But I'm not going to let that objection stop me from trying something I've wanted to do for long before I ever heard of her. I am 58 yo and in good health, but with borderline osteoporosis I expect the protocol to help reverse. I'll let you know how it goes.
I have just read your comment and just recently have learned about all this. I am still studying the situation, just read "Ageless", need to read more stuff...you are right that bio-identical hormone therapy may be appropriate for some, especially women who are really suffering. I guess my impression is that there's so much fishiness going on. As a woman who is 44 and menopausal, I resent anyone telling me that I'm not good enough, that I need to crank my clock back to when I was 20 and vibrant. I think I'm vibrant and beautiful now. I am embracing "the change" with it's mild discomforts because I think it's natural and normal and I'm growing in other ways, such as with insight and wisdom.No one comes to my house to do yoga with me or trains me personally. I look my age and I am proud. I'm getting to the point in my life where I can spend more time developing my character, my intellect and my spiritual self. I don't want to be a hot babe; I already did that.Suzanne Somers thinks we have to be "sixty and sexy". That's ridiculous. It's very anti-woman and anti-feminist. She's defining herself by her looks.I recently saw a picture of her with her breast swelling over her top. Is that what it means to be a self assured woman? Does my boob have to hang out? Women need from other women acceptance and reverence for who and what and where they are IN THE MOMENT. It doesn't matter what they look like or even feel like. Women need support from other women not someone writing a silly book telling women what they "should" or "shouldn't" be doing, especially someone who can afford to do what she wants because she's not taking care of other people which is what us "normal" women are doing. That's what we do. We nurture and care for others. Sometimes we don't put ourselves first. We can't. And we should not be made to feel guilty about it or that we are somehow falling short because we are not devoting enough time and money to purchasing fruit botanicals to rub vigorously into our wrinkles. The body dies and rots in the ground. I eat right and exercise to the degree at which I can for my station in life. It enhances my spiritual and mental life which is literally infinitely more important. All this emphasis on appearance is really hurtful to women and young, impressionable girls.I also found quotes in "Ageless" very disturbing but I'll save it for another comment. I guess my gist of the whole thing is that there's something that doesn't quite add up about it (Suzanne and TS Wiley and the protocol).
I agree with you that all this "fountain of youth" stuff is way off base. I'm 52 and happy not to be 20 or even 30 anymore. I know who I am and I like myself. But even though the change is natural and meant to happen, some of us suffer horribly with the symptoms and the word "mild" does not begin to describe the constant hot flashes that make you feel like you are on fire and can't breathe, the sweating profusely in place a woman did not think she could sweat, soaking your bedsheets at night and not wanting to be anywhere near your husband for his body heat, the weight gain around the mid section that feels like a tire around your waist, the memory loss and complete fog that wraps around your brain, the terrible and frightening mood swings that make you feel like you're going mad and alienate your friends and family, the depression that devours you and makes you feel that you're falling into a black hole and can't get out. Last week I came very close to running away from home. I have two beautiful still-innocent 6 year old boys and a lovely husband and father to my children. I should be celebrating my life and embracing this time, but instead I am trying to just want to get up each day. Some of us do need help and bioidentical hormones seem to be the way. However, for me, the Wiley Protocol is not the answer. I started on her program after reading the book and my nurse-practitioner telling me it changed her life. It's been two weeks of pure H E L ... I had headaches since day two, migraines I think. I've not had them before, but they were so bad that I had to just go into a dark, silent room and lie down for hours. I've been even more edgy and irritable than before. Any little thing sets me off - to the point of becoming a raving maniac with my kids and hubbie. My skin and scalp is very oily and breaking out. I have no energy and no sex drive at all. My hot flashes are worse than before. And now, I'm worried about possible harm I may have done to myself. I think I am severely estrogen dominant at the moment and that the one-size-fits-all does that the Wiley Protocol prescribes far too much for some people. I too, feel I was sucked in and lied to. I'm mad as *&%#! and I'm not going to take it anymore! Does anyone else have more information or advice on what I should do next? I don't want to necessarily be 60 and sexy, but I do want to find something that will help me live a more normal, symptom-free life and be able to take care of my family again.
How did you take yourself off the Wiley hormones? I have to get off them to save my sanity, but I don't know the safe way. Maybe it's too late to worry about safe.
I find it interesting that some of you say that Suzanne Somers should not be trying to tell everyone what to do and yet, the majority of the comments on this site seem to be just that - telling everyone else what to do... I agree with the comments about vindictiveness, competition... what is this site all about - making sure that every woman is comfortable in her skin or lashing out at each other?
I am not on the Wiley Protocol but I take the dosage that Wiley suggests and I feel amazing... I was having a lot of problems prior to starting... will this last, will it not? I don't know.. I am taking this one day at a time and if you all care about women feeling great, right now, you are probably thinking that this is great that I feel much better.... however, if you are more into this for argument sake or for simply being right, you are probably thinking right now... Sure, she'll see in a couple of months.... sending out negative vibes has never helped anyone...
I applaud Suzanne Somers... without her, I would never have known about bioidentical hormones...
I hope that everyone here eventually finds what works for them and in the meantime, I hope that everyone can find it in themselves to stop attacking and stick to providing facts....
Thank you
This site is primarily concerned with T.S. Wiley and the Wiley Protocol, not Suzanne Somers, and it exists in response to the attempts by Wiley and other stakeholders in her protocol to suppress certain inconvenient truths. I assure you that if they adhered to a policy of sticking to the facts, Wiley Watch would not exist.
What a story......I too have been through Hell and back. I am not on the Wiley Protocl but I was looking at it and during my reasearch I found this page. I have suffered terribly the past 10 years of insommina, flushes, mood swings and have hit rock bottom many times but there was something inside of me that just kept going and the more I suffered the more I was motivated to help myself..I could not see by taking a hormone replacement as the be all of the end all it had to do with something else and for me I was right. If you dont eat right you dont digest right then you dont get the uptake of hormones right and your adrenials suffer. YOu have 3 estrogen hormones E1 E2 E3 if these are not balanced then nothing works, its all to do with food,life style.DHEA is made from Yams look at the countries where women dont suffer from hormone problems see what they eat or dont eat.Each women has her own rythum one size does not fit all. I figured out my own program and it not unlike what they initially were trying to do with the Wiley group.I do 21 days of progestrone 2%4 days testrostrone1%and I take that in the last 4 days of the progestrone then I drop them and take Biest(estrogen).5% for 6 days and they I start again. Then I take a supplement of Nutrition Care ( check it out on line)formula 33SE and formula SF88. amega 3 only and a small dose of DHEA each day tablet form. All these formulas I found that worked for me was tested with a siliva test, blood test dont work....now this is my formular but it works for me.I sleep well, I have a few hot flushes but no longer sweats my brain is in tact and I am at peace I can now meditate, I eat organic and and drink apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon in water each day for my digestion. It took me 10 years to find my formular and I did it with a little help from a few good friends and a compounding chemist that was willing to concentrate on me. I told the Dr's what I wanted so if I made a mistake its was mine and my compounding chemist made sure I was on track. I hope this will help you. Dont give you power away.YOu will find away and people will come into you life that will help you..
I have been on the WP since February. At first it was great with no more night sweats, day flashes, DEPRESSION episodes!... However, in about April/May, I discovered a cervical cyst. Then I started having a discharge between periods, like old blood or light blood sometimes. My periods have continued to be heavy and painful as throughout my whole life, as well as having cramps. My hormones were continually increased. Then it was suggested I have a pelvic ultrasound. I have some fibroids, and either a fibroid or 'something' that can't easily be seen at the bottom of my uterus near my cervix. Now I'm having to go in and have a hysteroscopy! I had none of these issues until the WP. I always had the painful periods, but now I have cramps all during the month, and this month have not stopped bleeding! I'm freaked out. I got online to find answers to how to stop the bleeding and found this site. THANK YOU! I never thought about how the emphasis has been on my body and libido and keeping attractive to my partner. I AM ATTRACTIVE TO HIM...WITHOUT ALL THIS!!! I have gained weight and these issues have made it almost embarrassing to be intimate...I'm messy.
I've decided that no matter what the outcome is of my hysteroscopy, I'm not doing the WP anymore! I have heard personal testimonials that the Vivelle patch/dot, along with some progesterone pills...all bio-identical, can help my depression and any night sweats/day flashes, and I won't have to apply all these creams and have all these problems. It is low dose and maybe I'll even stop having these awful periods. I'm in my early 50's. It's time to stop all this madness. I love who I am! I just want to be able to lose weight again and feel clean and be without pain. I say a very happy GOODBYE to the WP!
I hope this helps you, and others.

Do you remember the last time you went to see a hip-hop act perform and they actually made you happy? These guys know how to party, and so does this track. It's soulful, it's dirty, and it has that bumpy, stop-and-go feeling that makes your head nod. A mellow bridge takes you back to some old school tune from '95. This is great stuff!

Expedition is a fantasy adventure roleplaying game about traveling, exploring, fighting, bonding and all manner of points. It uses a 3d6 for most rolls and has fairly quick character generation. It uses a system that is fairly simple at first glance and in play but can be used for flexible and strategic gameplay while exploring, researching, fighting or interacting with NPCs.

The file is 109 pages of very basic PDF, and 1.2 megabytes to download. It has PDF bookmarks.
You can download a print-ready, Form Fillable PDF Character Sheet: Mediafire.
Thanks to Greg Christopher for making the old sheet form-fillable!
You can go here to read the latest Errata, new rules and corrections. This is an evolving alpha playtest! I will have an Errata document up for download soon as well.
Unlike my previous methodology for releases, this time I'll be taking longer to actually create revised documents, just so both you, and I, don't go completely crazy replacing PDFs every week. Instead, I'll do a Playtest 2 document within 2 months, and then we might proceed to the Beta stage within 5 or 6 months. The Alpha has been proofread twice, but me and my editor are both fallible human beings, and had some rough weekends, so if you see any problems at all, do not hesitate to tell me. If a problem is really really bad, or there is a lot of confusion, I may release a revised document, but for now, any changes will be kept in an Errata post.

As Steel Magnolias tours theatres, Angela Coffey meets playwright Robert Harling to find out the true story behind the 1980s script, and looks at how diabetes care has since come a long way.
Movies rarely represent people with diabetes, but when the condition is built into the plotline, the line between what is an accurate portrayal of diabetes and what is exaggerated for dramatic effect can sometimes become blurred.
But it's the movies – isn't that meant to happen? The trouble is, diabetes, in all its forms, is often misunderstood, which can be frustrating when it's thrust into the limelight and misinterpreted. So, should we be concerned about the portrayal of diabetes in Steel Magnolias?
Released in 1989, it is perhaps one of the most memorable films in which diabetes is portrayed. It is a story about the lives and friendships of six women in a small town in Louisiana, USA, which revolves around Shelby, who has Type 1 diabetes and suffers devastating consequences after the birth of her child.
Despite her mother worrying that her diabetes would give her problems when carrying a child, Shelby becomes pregnant. She gives birth to a baby boy but, a year later and after receiving a kidney donated by her mother, she dies. While this can make for uncomfortable viewing, it's important to remember the advances in diabetes care since then.
The story is primarily about the strength and unbreakable bonds between the characters, which is told with humour and witty dialogue. And the diabetes plot isn't there to create drama – the events are real.
Robert Harling, then an aspiring actor, penned Steel Magnolias as a short story in 1986, as a way of coping with the death of his 32-year-old sister, Susan, who had Type 1 diabetes. It developed into a play in 1987 and has since been performed worldwide in 25 different languages.
The hit movie adaptation starring Julia Roberts and Dolly Parton came two years later, and Robert was keen to include humour to cope with the seriousness of the storyline. He also insisted that viewers were given a real insight into what his family went through, and even cast some of the hospital staff who treated Susan to play their real-life roles. While the film involves many characters and locations, the play takes place with just the six females (see box, above right) and is set solely in Truvy's beauty salon, where the women regularly meet.
So are all the characters based on real people? "Everyone is based on someoneI knew in my youth. The great joy is finding that every woman in town thinks one of the characters is based on them. But I'll never tell…", says Robert. "And, being theatre, every new production, every new cast makes it a fresh experience. It's always exciting to see a new interpretation."

Does anyone even understand what the hell is up with the terms carpet muncher and fudge packer... honestly. Those terms just piss me off. I mean, we can reclaim terms like fag and dyke. But who wants to reclaim the other two, and honestly who came up with them. I'm sorry this post isn't really well thought out, but these terms have just been bothering me and I want to know other people's thoughts on them or anything really. I don't have much of an adgenda with this one, except why? And what the hell? Put downs can be so moronic, and then they just become even more moronic. It's really phenomenal.
Love & Peace,
agreed...amen 2 u!
stay heretical &[sic.]4evr!question authority&confromities. morbid intentions,Connie
"keep ur thorns,cuz m running away" -Mudvayne
How about Retard, Dumb, Stupid , Idiot as another terms that annoys the hell out of me. I mean come on, ppl makes those things to make themselves feel good by saying it. Plus the insecure and bigotry. More and more ppl are starting to open up and become more aware now. So hopefully the next generation would be more open than this time frame.
I really can't explain why, but the word "fag" really makes me angry. Maybe it's the way it can so easily be spat at someone in that horribly degrading tone of voice, but I just don't like it. In jest, however, I think that "fudgepacker" can be somewhat redemable. Or "ass pirate," but that's just because I think it would be fun to be a pirate and wear an eyepatch. No worries:)
in that, it's not so much about the terms in question as about how they are used. Common identification is what allows us to reclaim words, really. If another dyke -- have we really "reclaimed" that word? If so, why do I hear it used in a derogatory fashion so often? -- calls me a "carpet muncher", well, it's a wry statement of fact. If my RA's boyfriend calls me that (oh, my sophomore year residential life woes) it's something completely different.
