CHAPEL HILL--It's almost that time of year.
"We're ready. We're ready for the football season," said UNC fan Jason Cox.
"We're really excited for the new staff. New season. Whole new Carolina," said UNC fan Will Sumrell.
Before the team hits the gridiron on Saturdays, fans got a chance to pack Kenan Stadium and catch a glimpse of who will be playing for the Tar Heels this season.
"Bryn Renner is one of my favorites. He's a great guy. Incredible quarterback," said UNC fan Cherilyn Franklin.
From autographs to pictures, the 'Meet the Heels' event was the place to be. Especially for parents trying to get their children to follow in their footsteps.
"We've got two children. Nathan is the oldest of two and I've got a four-month-old at the house. So we'll get him ready to go soon," said Cox.
Because of the sanctions the football team won't make the postseason this year regardless of their record. But if the lineup at the autograph session was any indication, the UNC community is fully supporting the team as football season approaches.
"USC last year had sanctions. Couldn't make a bowl game and all the players game back. They played. All they can do is just take it with a grain of salt and win every game you play," said Sumrell.
Winning every game would certainly be a great way to recover from the recent penalties against the football team. The ruling may keep the team from the post season but it hasn't tempered the fans enthusiasm. "Go Heels," said UNC fan Trevor Mitchell.
And if you're a football fan, you can go start the countdown to the first game, which is less than a month away.

The Perfect Advertiser
What kind of advertisements give the best results; get the attention of the potential customers?
How much money have companies not wasted on expensive advertisements in the conventional media with so awful success that noone seems to have paid any attention to them?
Haven't you ever dreamt of an inexpensive and easy way for letting your potential customers know about your goods and service and even yearn to buy it?
Recent years I have been working on my idea about a forum or a site for the perfect ad that could be cheaper, larger and more amusing than other kinds, not to mention more affective.
Just for the reason of readers bothering to read or look at an ad or something informative it has to be put forward in an interesting way.
We have developed NetSagas in such a way that it gives you, the user a chance to read and listen to a whole lot of short amusing stories and articles.
The reaction to NetSagas has been tremendously good and I have received a lot of positive emails from many countries, eventhough I have never advertised anywhere.
A great example is an email I got from an association of newspapers' editors in London. They had been told about my website, because they happened to be seeking for a presentable foreign correspondant for their own website,
Newsshopper, www.newsshopper.co.uk
They happened to fancy my Netsagas and therefore they offered me to be their foreign correspondant and write humorous articles from Iceland.
By this introduction I would like to offer companies to make a good deal with me if they would like to put their advertisement on Netsagas.com
Can you help me find associatess?
Best regards,
Olafur Thor Eiriksson

I find the "Creatives" moniker creepy. If you're not one of them, what are you? But maybe that's just the sort of reaction they could expect from someone like me.

Whet your appetite of your favorite Japanese take-out foods, at home! After taking this class, you'll be prepared to roll up any fresh ingredients inside a delicious sheet of nori with sushi rice.
We'll be making several types of these -- maki rolls -- which you can adapt with any fresh vegetables and other ingredients you desire, and some classic sides like miso soup and salad with ginger-miso dressing.
The recipes are simple, easy to produce on a busy weeknight, and reliably healthy and fresh. And why limit yourself to the standard sushi roll fillings? We'll get inventive with the amazing BLT roll and summery favorite, the Maine lobster roll roll, with wasabi mayonnaise and scallions.
Note: Come prepared to get your hands a little messy with sticky sushi rice but no need to bring or wear anything special.

MyDefrag 4.3.1Date added: May, 21st 2010 - Freeware
Latest Version:
MyDefrag 4.3.1
Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / Windows 7
User Rating:Click to vote
Author / Product:
Old Versions:
MD5 Checksum:
MyDefrag (formerly known as JKDefrag) is a powerful and free disk defragmenting and optimizing tool that can make all versions of Windows run faster and more consistent by fixing defragmentation problems on local storage hard drives. Created for low performance usage and fast operations, this small program can not only work with hard drives, but it will optimize all external storage devices such as floppy disks, memory sticks, USB disks, and more. In addition to easy to use controls, MyDefrag is offering easy to use scripts for beginners, scripting engine for experienced users, screensaver, administrative tools and support for a total integration into Windows task scheduler.
Every PC that uses spinning hard drives eventually becomes slower and slower, which can sometimes noticeably reduce your performance. This happens because of the constant deleting and creating files that each user is preforming on daily basis, which forces to Windows OS to write new files in the segmented empty places where old files were deleted. After a while, almost every file on your hard drive will require head of the HDD reader to move several times until all data chunks are loaded, causing significant delays and reducing the overall speed of your system no matter what you are doing.
Interface of the MyDefrag is very well organized, enabling users to immediately access not only tools for analyzing, defragmenting and optimizing your hard drive (placing important files and directories into fastest hard drive read/write positions), but also setup daily, weekly and monthly schedule for optimizing your hard drive. MyDefrag is free, contains no advertisements, time limits or locked features.
Why use MyDefrag instead of the standard Windows defragger?
- Much faster than others.
- Full atomatic, easy to use.
- Fast defragment and optimize the selected disk.
- Reclaims MFT reserved space after disk-full.
- Analyze only the selected disks
- Can defragment full all harddisks.
- Can defragment all large files.
- Can defragment individual directories and files.
- Can be run automatically with the Windows Scheduler.
- Can be used from the commandline.
- Can be used as a screen saver.
- Can be run from cdrom or memory stick.
- Sources available and can be customized.
- Excellent work on the latest Windows7.
- And more features...
JkDefrag (MyDefrag) works under Windows Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista and Windows7 OS, and command line version is included in the download package.

Poor Sisters of Nazareth Homes
The Poor Sisters of Nazareth homes in Derry were described as "cold heartless places" by the first former residents to give evidence to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry which is investigating abuse at 13 Northern Ireland residential institutions from 1922 to 1995. Boys and girls who lived in the home worked side by side not knowing they were in fact brothers and/or sister. Young boys were often abused by other boys and if they screamed their cries were greeted with punishment. Jon McCourt was sent to Termonbacca Boys' Home at the age of just two and a half and he ...http://www.rte.ie/radio1/today-with-sean-o-rourke/programmes/2014/0129/500864-today-with-sean-o-rourke-wednesday-29-january-2014/?clipid=1405200

It's really hard to look at these photos of President Bush meeting with severely wounded veterans at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio without just saying "wow" over and over. We're hard pressed to imagine what Bush might've been thinking as he saw the effects of his foreign policy on these young soldiers.
Daily Mail:
During the President's visit to the new £30.7million Brooke Army Medical Centre for veterans Mr Bush vowed to modernize the military care system. "We have an outdated system that can bog down some of those recovering in a maze of bureaucracy," he said.
"It's unacceptable to me as the commander in chief, it's unacceptable to the families of those who deserve the best care and it's unacceptable to the American people."
AP Photo/Gerald Herbert
Waiting for the president: Army Sgt. Brandon Adam, who lost both of his legs in Baghdad last May, was one of the wounded vets with whom President Bush met at San Antonio's Brooke Army Medical Center this week.

A breakthrough and potentially life-saving treatment for patients with brain aneurysms is now available at The Valley Hospital. The Pipeline Embolization Device is designed to treat aneurysms that were once considered inoperable. This new minimally-invasive therapy remodels the parent artery using a flexible structure that conforms to the ruptured vessel.
Utilizing a technique known as Flow Diversion, Valley's doctors treat large or giant wide-necked brain aneurysms by placing the Pipeline Embolization Device into the parent blood vessel rather than in the aneurysm sac.
The Pipeline Device restores original, natural blood circulation while providing permanent long-term sealing to the affected area.
During the procedure, the Pipeline Device is implanted across the aneurysm neck. The open wire mesh scaffolding-structured design of the device slows the flow of blood into the aneurysm, which allows for the diseased vessel to heal. Eventually, during the healing process, the aneurysm will be reabsorbed by the body.
The minimally-invasive technique allows patients to heal quicker and return home sooner.

Bacon-Wrapped Scallops
- Summary
Plump, juicy scallops and thick, smoky bacon come together in a whole new way to think of surf and turf. Simply grilled or seared in a skillet, hearty slices of Nueske's applewood smoked bacon fry up crisp and salty, surrounding a tender heart of sweet scallop for an amazing textural contrast. As a passed hors d'oeuvre, they're the ultimate decadent party snack, but they are also delicious as a meal paired with a side salad.
- 12 pieces (serves 6 as an appetizer, 3–4 as an entree).
- 1 lb., 8 oz. total.
- Shipped frozen.

Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

John Sachtouras is a rising superstar in the MLM industry, making an astonishing $400,000+ per month.
John Sachtouras and his wife Blanca just moved into a 7,058-square foot home in Richmond, Texas, USA. Not bad for an abode.
Both John and Blanca have been involved in selling Organo Gold Coffee to customers since June 2009 and are now considered top earners in both the company, and the industry as a whole.
Their rise has been stratospheric. It took them just 90 days to reach the level of Diamond Consultants, Blue Diamonds in 6 months, Black Diamonds in 15 Months and Crown Diamonds in 2011.
By March 2012 they were able to boast of earnings of $400,000+ per month thanks to the huge distributorship they've built in just a smidgen over two and a half years. Their cars and their lavishly furnished home are proof positive of the effects of this plan.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

This one is in response to a comment made on the "Do You Science" post.
I have a question to ask. What virtue is it to say that you acknowledge you might be wrong? I don't get that take on agnosticism. Whether one's wrong or not is not derived from the degree of humbleness one holds. What purpose does that humbleness serve?
It's honesty.
And I am not an agnostic, I am an atheist. The fact of the matter is that there is no evidence for a god what so ever, so I don't believe in one. I cannot fathom a set of conditions that can rationally allow one to exist, however I accept that there is a vanishingly small chance that I may be wrong because my entire stance on atheism is based on a lack of evidence for any gods and after the first million gods got rejected the rest got easier and easier.
It's not humility, it's fact. My entire view is based on evidence. Should evidence show up to support the existence of a colony (I suppose?) of T-Rex in Central Africa then I will have to revoke my stance that Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. By the same principle if one can demonstrate to me empirically and scientifically that a god exists and that their personal god is Tlaloc then I am afraid I will have to revoke my atheism and start sacrificing babies to ensure the rains remain regular…
However, just like that Jehovah bloke, there isn't any evidence for the existence of Tlaloc and our current knowledge indicates that the precipitation of the planet is reliant more on the water cycle than the satiation of a god through baby sacrifice.
It's not humility it's fact. I am not the only atheist who holds this view. Dawkins himself stated similar things.
If I demonstrate to you (hypothetically) testable, verifiable proof that a god exists and demands worship lest x, y and z occur, you would accept it (after proper testing and review) would you not?
The thing is not one person has been able to demonstrate the existence of a god and the spaces in which such a being can hide is vanishingly small. To the point that Christians have to hide their god behind the Big Bang and get very very vague about the interventionist policies of god. Any religious person who tries to bring scientific proof to a "proof of god" doesn't manage to be convincing to anyone with an inkling about science.
I mean, the mere fact that we don't know (and ignorance is the fundamental human condition) doesn't in and of itself mean that we might be wrong on the (myriad contradictory and sometimes outright illogical) god notion(s). From "I don't know" the only conclusion one can draw is "I don't know."
I prefer to think that a thirst for knowledge is a fundamental human condition. Religion satisfies that thirst, but it does so by claiming that the zenith of human achievement was around 0 AD Judea or 600 AD Saudi Arabia or 1800 BC Northern India. That we don't know anything else that's new. Which is daft.
Now if you obviously believe this notion or parts of this notion then you cannot understand how science works by saying "I Don't Know. That is why a lot of religious fundies seem to misunderstand how science works.
Now, should evidence and reason be found to support this particular nonsense (and so it currently stands), and were we to deny it, by digging our fingers in our ears and saying "NONONONONONONO!", then, sure, we'd be in the wrong. But up until that point, I don't find that I'm under the obligation to entertain hypotheticals, all for the purpose of appearing "humble."What am I missing here?
Which is how my atheism works too. There is no "hypothesis" of a god because there requires to be some observable evidence to indicate one exists or at least a valid assumption.
In order to accept a god exists we must assume that the laws of existence can be voided at whim. That in effect "magic" exists. Which is a phenomenal thing that needs to exist. Our literal understanding of reality has to change for that which itself requires extraordinary proof.
I wouldn't even consider "the God Hypothesis" to be a valid one because it's not a hypothesis grounded in reality.
Sorry, I realize it's off topic, really, but, meh, ill informed Christian quote mines to denigrate …isn't exactly news.
Which is fine. They can quote mine me all they like. Their Carpenter god is never going to get any realer just because I "accept" the very minute chance that Jesus may exist. If that's what makes their faith "strong" then I am afraid they have a very weak faith.
They can quote mine but they still have no proof that their god is real. The religious will have to provide evidence. Scientific, Testable Proof.
We don't accept Bible Verse in court, why should we accept it in science? I am willing to accept a god if someone provides proof.

A poor job appraisal is a definite put off and one of the main reason why agents quit. There can be many reason for a poor appraisal, ranging from performance to the current economic downturn period wherein many companies have stalled all the increments. Despite of all the factors, a poor appraisal is quite demotivating and leads to some serious change in behavior of an employee or influence his rational decision making.
Below are some tips on how to deal with such temporary setbacks.
1. Before you think about job change or turn into a grumpy employee, just introspect and try to find out reasons for the same. If possible talk to your team lead and try to understand his opinion on the possible negative feedback. If you have close confidante co-worker, seek their opinion too.
2. If you are convinced that the poor appraisal was unjustified, escalate the matter to HR. It is always a better idea to have an open and frank discussion with your Human Resource manager and try to clear all your doubts.
3. What if they say, that for the period you have been appraised, there has not been much to talk about and hence a below average appraisal. In such a case, take it as a challenge and treat it as an opportunity. The next thing you need to do is - target the period of next appraisal, take up some challenging assignments (which is in addition to your regular job profile) and prove your worth.
4. Many times it might not be possible to get the much talked about challenging assignment due to many external factors which are beyond your control. In such a scenario , the next best thing to do is-identify the learning opportunities. Upgrade your skills and education. This will help you not just in your next appraisal but also in your next job opportunity.
Keeping the above points in mind you can overcome any bad or below average job appraisal. Remember, Your career is your responsibility, no one else will walk that distance for you.
"Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career." -Abdul Kalam

I have been working at Hobsons full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Hobsons is a really nice place. Beer cart to raise money for education charities on Fridays, great sales meetings with open bar in the evenings, and and an "open door" policy, making it easy to interact with executives. Especially in Cincinnati, the leaders seem to truly enjoy hanging out with employees socially. In fact, that seems to be a requirement for anyone who wants to advance.Cons
Hobsons reminds me of a movie set. People play the part, going to meetings all day, responding to tons of emails, and running around like good little children. But, it doesn't seem like anyone has any business sense. I thought collaboration was all about gathering feedback from experts and using it to craft an answer that is of higher quality. At Hobsons, it means everyone gets to be part of every conversation. The number of people there who have VP titles is hilarious, given that most of them would be lucky to be senior manager at a publicly traded company.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Take note that the leadership in Cincinnati, with a few exceptions, pales in comparison to the expertise and experience that the Arlington team brings. Also, perhaps your retention policy at all levels should focus on competence, not tenure or personal relationships.Doesn't RecommendNeutral Outlook

California foie gras law
|California foie gras law
|California State Legislation
|Full name
|Force Fed Birds
|February 19, 2004
|Assembly voted
|August 24, 2004
|Senate voted
|May 18, 2004
|Signed into law
|September 29, 2004
|John Burton
|Arnold Schwarzenegger
|Health and Safety Code
|SB-1520 Force fed birds.(2003-2004)
The California foie gras law, California S.B. 1520,[1] is a California State statute that prohibits the "force feed[ing of] a bird for the purpose of enlarging the bird's liver beyond normal size" as well as the sale of products that are a result of this process.[2] This outlaws the traditional method of producing foie gras in California. The law was enacted in 2004 and went into effect on July 1, 2012.[3][4]
The law does not prohibit the possession or consumption of foie gras, giving it as a gift, or its importation from outside California.
S.B. 1520 was introduced in the California State Legislature on February 19, 2004[5] by then-Senate President Pro-Tem John Burton at the request of a coalition of animal protection organizations that included Viva!USA, Farm Sanctuary, Los Angeles Lawyers for Animals, and the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights.[6]
Burton stated, "We just shouldn't be cramming a tube down a duck's throat and forcing in food to make foie gras," and that foie gras production is "an inhumane process that other countries have sensibly banned. I'm pleased California will be next on the list."[7]
The legislature passed the bill and it was signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on September 29, 2004.[5]
The law included a provision that it would take effect almost eight years after enactment, in order to allow time for techniques to be developed by which foie gras could be produced without force-feeding birds.[8] As of the date the law took effect, no such technique had been developed that was deemed commercially viable.
During the months leading up to the date when the law would go into effect, some California restaurants hosted elaborate multi-course meals featuring foie gras in many forms, drawing patrons who wanted to eat foie gras before the ban went into effect.[9]
A farmer in Spain is producing a version of goose foie gras, which he says is made without force-feeding the geese.[10][11][12][13]

|Case history
|Prior action(s)
|Us. District Court Judge Stephen Wilson denied a motion for preliminary injunction restraining Attorney General Harris from enforcing the California ban on foie gras
|Case opinions
|In a unanimous opinion authored by Judge Pregerson, the court held that the Attorney General was not subject to Eleventh Amendment immunity from suit; that the Governor and state of California were entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity and were dismissed from the suit; and that the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that there was no serious question of a Due Process violation or a violation of the Commerce Clause, and affirmed the denial of the motion.

A lawsuit[14] was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on July 2, 2012, seeking to overturn the California foie gras law on the ground that it is unconstitutionally vague.[15] The plaintiffs are two foie gras producers and a southern California restaurant group[16] that served foie gras until the ban took effect.[17] On July 18, 2012, U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson denied the plaintiffs' request for a temporary injunction that would have immediately suspended the foie gras ban.[18] On September 19, 2012, Judge Wilson denied the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the law.[19]
Five animal welfare organizations (the "Proposed Defendant Intervenors") (Farm Sanctuary, Animal Legal Defense Fund, the Marin Humane Society, the Humane Society of the United States, and the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association) who are sponsors of the challenged law had petitioned to be accepted as defendant intervenors in the case. Judge Wilson denied their petition. On September 7, 2012, the Proposed Defendant Intervenors (the appellants) filed an appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.[20] The appellants are appealing Judge Wilson's ruling that excluded them from the case.
Oral arguments were heard on May 8, 2013 before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Pasadena.[21] In August 2013, the court, in a 3-0 decision, upheld the law, finding that it violated neither the Due Process Clause nor the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution as asserted by the plaintiffs.[22][23] In January 2014, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request by foie gras proponents to reconsider their challenge to the law.[24]
Resistance to the law[edit]
Since the law went into effect, a number of restaurants reportedly have continued to serve foie gras, insisting that they are doing so as a gift to customers rather than selling it to customers.[25][26]

Daily Prayer - Friday 08 June 2012
Sharia is continuing to extend its reach in Western countries. In the UK thousands of Muslims are using sharia councils to settle their civil disputes each year, and several of these bodies have reported a large increase in their case load. Under sharia law a woman's testimony is worth only half that of a man's and women suffer discrimination in divorce, inheritance and compensation. The councils have no authority over criminal or family law, but in practice they carry great authority in the Muslim community. Pray that the Islamisation of Western societies will be checked and that the principle of equality under the law will be maintained.

Imagine if the phrase "Everything old is new again" applied to technology – that consumers suddenly grew bored with intuitive design and began to hunger for, say, the touch of a bulky button or the sound of a dial-up modem. Well, as it turns out, gadget manufacturers have found a niche market in tech nostalgia.
56K Modem Simulators
Maybe it's just me but the screeches, pops, and hisses of the Internet connecting of yore isn't the stuff of wistful memories. They're the tech equivalent of nails scraping on a chalkboard. I don't fondly recall the carpal-tunnel-inducing exercise of clicking the "Connect" button over and over while competing with other users for server space on what was then called America Online. Of course, once you actually made it onto the World Wide Web, you barely had time to type in your Lycos search before the overloaded AOL call center booted you right off. That "Always Offline" nickname stuck for good reason.
But for those who find the silence of broadband and Wi-Fi deafening, those old '90s sounds are still just a click away. Free-Loops.com offers a free Wav file download of the dial-up sound effect and Lazylaces brought an old US Robotics modem back to life – complete with blinking lights.
Hands-free, schmands free. Wireless, schmireless. Sleek, schm – well, you get the idea.
If you need an excuse for keeping that vintage telephone table or are just looking for a decent bicep workout, an Etsy store called Freeland Studios has you covered. The iRetrofone is a 1950s-style telephone base, hand-sculpted in heavy-duty, half-inch thick urethane resin that acts not only as a docking and synching station for the iPhone, but an actual conduit for communication.
But this throwback product is actually a down-date from the previously released Novophone. A corded handset accessory that plugs into the common cell phone, the Novophone may not fit in your pocket, but it's at least portable enough for a messenger bag.
Pyle-Home Phonograph/Radio/Cassette/MP3 Player
Really? No eight-track player? This everything-but-the-kitchen-sink music system packs a century's worth of music technology into one unit. The talking machine-esque Victrola design with classic horn is beyond retro. It's barely 20th century.
But the Pyle Audio machine, sold here on Amazon, is more than just an anachronistic novelty item. The USB port allows for the conversion of analog formats to digital files. You know, just like Edison would've done.
Crosley Duet Alarm Clock Radio
The only company to make this list that manufactured the original product it's meant to replicate is Crosley. The vintage features of this Duet AM/FM clock radio, including the rounded shape, analog tuning dial, and clock face, are all inspired by the Crosley radio designs from the 1940s. The portable music player plug-in and patented AroundSound are postwar updates.

Joe Torre loves Bill Russell, Boston Celtics
I don't like the New York Yankees. I could credit that to my place of birth (Western Mass.) or I could credit it to Paul O'Neill's annoying habit of arguing every… single… call. But even when Aaron Boone's extra-innings home run brought me to my knees, I have always respected the hell out of Joe Torre, a (seemingly) class act and a true winner.
I never knew Torre is a Boston Celtics fan, though, who learned the importance of team play while watching Bill Russell. (WEEI)
"I was a Boston Celtics fan," Torre told CBSSports.com. "In fact, I really got my idea of team play from watching the Celtics in the '50s with those guys, how they shared the ball all the time. Bill Russell, of course, when I met him and told him that story, I think he was a little surprised. I just love that nobody was bigger than the other guy."
Fifty years later, the Celtics still thrive on the same principles. Damn it, I miss the NBA.

Pulp & Deckle is creating
Handmade paper, drawings, custom paper goods, art
Pulp power! Connecting people to the science, history, and art behind handmade paper.
Milestone Goals
1 month of paper!
This is what we need to cover overhead of operating the studio and to start paying ourselves to make paper, build the wiki, and teach workshops. When we hit $5,000 per month we can both be employed full-time at the studio! When we reach this goal everyone will receive an animal print of their choice from our product line.
Beater upgrade!
We'll buy an Oracle beater designed by Lee McDonald. It will allow us to offer more types of paper and pulp, much more quickly. When we reach this goal we'll send everyone a card made from blue jeans that we'll pulp in our new beater! (This is a one-time goal.)
We like to get pulpy! Read all about us and our handmade papermaking studio over on our website.
Portland, OR, USA
Top PatronsSee all 1
Who Are We?Pulp & Deckle grew out of a desire to share the magic of papermaking with others. We're a husband and wife team operating a studio in Portland, OR. We teach classes, make custom paper goods, and generally geek out about paper. Jenn first discovered handmade paper while attending grad school at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and began using the art form for her drawings. Since opening the studio in 2012 Gary has caught the paper bug too, and together we're dedicated to the creation, promotion and preservation of handmade paper. Since opening the studio we've kept our full-time day jobs while building our business. ***As of July 1, 2014 Jenn is now self employed and no longer has a day job- woot!*** When we learned about Patreon as a way to build in steady income we were really excited, as we have lots of goals we'd love to reach with your help. When you give at any level you are not only helping our business grow and allowing us to work towards being full-time papermakers, but you are also supporting a sustainable art form with an amazing history.
What Do We Do?
Making paper by hand is a labor of love. While anyone can learn how to do it, much of the equipment needed to create specialty papers is either cost prohibitive, messy, and/or large. At Pulp & Deckle we provide studio access to artists, crafters, and art enthusiasts in order to carry on the papermaking tradition. Via both education and retail product sales we hope to increase awareness of how handmade paper is created and highlight its role as a sustainable craft. Our papers are made from materials such as 100% post-consumer waste papers (like shredded office paper), plants (like flax), and natural clothes fibers (like cotton). It's important to us that our business remains eco-friendly while focusing on the fine craft and traditions of both Western and Eastern styles of papermaking. In our workshops we teach others how to make their own one-of-a-kind papers that are unique to their maker.
What Do We Want To Do?
A project that we started to dream about and now want to make reality is to create a handmade paper wiki. While there are many wonderful resources in the forms of books, videos, art centers, organizations, and message boards where you can learn about handmade paper, there isn't a centralized source of information where fellow papermakers from around the globe can share their unique knowledge about paper. We want to make this place in the form of a wiki. Why a wiki? We feel this is the best way to unite the papermaking community to share info. in a democratic, accessible and organized fashion. How amazing would it be when you have a question about a type of plant that you want to use to make paper if you could look it up on the wiki and read all about if it will work for papermaking, how to make it work, etc.? We believe education is empowering and we want to build a place where people can learn and share. Your contributions will enable us to set aside the time we need to create the infrastructure of the wiki and launch it for contributors.
What Will Your Support Do?
With your support we'll also be able to grow our product line and offer more cool eco-friendly papers! Since one of us still has a day job your support will bring us closer to both making paper full time. When we reach the milestone for purchasing a new beater we'll be able to make overbeaten fibers for artists, and will greatly reduce the amount of time and electricity needed to make paper pulp from old clothes and textiles.
Thank you for helping us spread the power of pulp!

Dewberry Shrub
Dew Berry belongs to the Rose family (Rosaceae)
A dewberry is a trailing plant with sharp brambles and small berries. The flavor of the berries are similar to raspberries, but dewberries tend to be purple or black in color. This plant is part of the genus Rubus, and is a close cousin of the blackberry.
The plants are common all over the Northern Hemisphere and generally start to bloom with small white flowers in March and April. Dewberry plants are sometimes considered an encroaching weed, but in reality the leaves can be used in tea. The berries are sweet and taste good in cobblers and jams, too.
In contrast, the European dewberry grows upright and is usually found in coastal areas. The berries are nearly black and coated with a waxy substance that resembles droplets. This coating makes the berries appear to be a sky-blue color. The flavor of this variety of dewberries tends to be tart.
Scientific Name: Rubus trivialis, Dew Berry
USDA Climate Zone: 5-8
Tree Height: 12 inches
Tree Width: 1-3 feet
Growth/Year: Slow growing
Soil Type: Well-drained
Sun: Full
The dew berry is a close relative of the blackberry
The plants produces small white blooms in early spring, followed by tiny green berries that will grow and ripen over the ensuing weeks.

application (application software)
An application is a program, or group of programs, that is designed for the end user. Application software can be divided into two general classes: systems software and applications software. Applications software (also called end-user programs) include such things as database programs, word processors, Web browsers and spreadsheets.
Figuratively speaking, applications software sits on top of systems software because it is unable to run without the operating system and system utilities.
Recommended Reading: Webopedia's enterprise application definition.
In contrast, Systems software consists of low-level programs that interact with the computer at a very basic level. This includes operating systems, compilers, and utilities for managing computer resources.
Also see a diagram of n-tier application architecture in the quick reference section of Webopedia.

It's hugs all around as the Bikal tribe returns from voting off Vanilla Ice Cream at Tribal Council. Michael thanks the group while Corinne boasts to us about how "I made sure I got the gay." I wonder if Corinne is horrified by the amount of times she keeps referring to her favorite person in the entire world as "the gay." I mean, he does have a name. (Michael, I think?) Corinne then inadvertently describes all heterosexuals as raging morons by saying that Michael is the only Fan with a brain out there. To that I'm sure Sherri would say "Hey, I was masterminding our tribe until the reshuffle," Reynold would say "Hey, I found two hidden immunity idols," and Eddie would say "Hey…can I have your phone number? Cause you're pretty hot. And I'm pretty hot. And we'd be pretty hot together. Hot people are the best."
Dawn senses it's almost merge time, and merge time — not unlike wake up in the morning time, cook some rice time, and go sit in the shelter time — means it's time to start crying. (My friend Janae still can't forgive Dawn for reneging on her "tear free season" promise to me this time out, and for that I give Janae permission have someone whack Dawn over the head with an issue of Entertainment Weekly should they ever meet up. Entertainment Weekly — it's not just for bathrooms anymore!)
So yeah, Dawn goes and does her best Lisa Whelchel impersonation by sobbing at the water well. The only thing missing is the humiliating #SURVIVORBREAKDOWN hashtag. "I want to make sure I don't sit back," she says in between tears. "Last time I let my game go to heck. I let Cochran flip. I didn't tell anyone. I didn't change the outcome." She promises to play differently this time around. "You have to be the person that makes decisions. Those are the people that win." Unless, of course, your name is Amber. Or Natalie. Or Fabio. But I digress.
Over on Gota, a boat is approaching. Could it be Tata the bushman hoping for some more island lovin'? "I don't know what is happening, but something awesome is about to happen," says Erik in the most Erik quote of all-time. A note tells the tribe about a "new home" and they know it's merge time. Soon enough, they are over at the Bikal beach meeting the new members of the newly merged tribe and digging into a trunk filled with green buffs, food, and booze. Within a matter of minutes Michael accuses Dawn of "literally cutting the cheese." Well, congratulations, Michael. You just made Dawn cry again. I hope you're happy with yourself.
Now comes the point in the season where someone always makes up a word for the new tribe name that they claim to be from the native language but is, in actuality, some tribute to a relative or favorite stuffed animal. And Malcolm is this season's someone, convincing the tribe to go with Enil Edam for the name, which Andrea mistakenly believes stands for "a new beginning" but is actually Malcolm's mom's name (Madeline) spelled backwards. (Hold on, did Malcolm just steal one of Phillip's B.R. Rules?)
Speaking of the B.R. rules, Phillip talks with Andrea about a foursome alliance of them two, Cochran, and Dawn, finishing with this gem: "When you lie in bed tonight, pretend you're Boston Rob, because that's what I do." Apparently Rule #47 of The Boston Rob Rules is "Act as creepy as possible when discussing Boston Rob."

Sunday, 22 July 2001
1. Having just returned from the mountains of
the Val d'Aosta, I am happy to be here today at Castel Gandolfo for the
Sunday Angelus appointment. I warmly greet you, citizens of
Castel Gandolfo. Thank you for the warm welcome you always give me. I want
to greet the Bishop of Albano with his Auxiliary Bishop, the Mayor, the
Parish Priest, and those who have in any way wished to show me their
affection and support. I am happy to be among you again and I plan to stay
in Castello until the next apostolic journey that, God willing, will take me
to Armenia and Kazakhstan toward the end of September. Together with summer
vacationers and pilgrims, you contribute to making my stay here a pleasant
one. Thank you for your warm and sincere affection.
How can we not perceive in this episode the reminder of the primacy of the spiritual life, of the need to be nourished with the Word of God which gives light and savour to our daily routine. It is an invitation which is particularly opportune for the summer period. Holidays and vacation time, in fact, can help to balance activism with contemplation, haste with natural rhythms, great noise with the healing peace of silence.
3. A further source of reflection comes from the liturgy. On 22
July we celebrate the memorial of St Mary Magdalene, disciple of the Lord
and first witness of the Resurrection. The story of St Mary of Magdala shows how
decisive it is for each one of us to meet Christ personally. It is Christ who
understands the human heart. It is he who can satisfy its hopes and longings and
give answers to the concerns and the difficulties that humanity today faces in
its daily endeavours.
We ask the intercession of Mary, Mother of Jesus and of the whole human race. We turn to her with the prayer of the Angelus.
After the Angelus, the Holy Father greeted the pilgrims in their native tongues: French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
In Italian he greeted the persons following the course at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum for those who are dedicated to formation work in seminaries. He said in English:
I extend a special greeting to the Girl Guides from Malta who are passing through Rome today. Upon all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors I invoke abundant divine gifts of peace and joy. God bless you and your families.
