So far in my one man's wedding series I've discussed engagement rings and my engagement story. Now I'm going to switch focus to the wild world of wedding planning. First let's consider the guest list. This powerful document names all people you and your beloved deem worthy of attending your special event. It is the head count keeper, and thus the biggest determining factor in the cost of your wedding. That's because you need a head count to determine how big of a venue to get, how much food to order, and how much booze to buy. After engagement most couples start their wedding plans by creating a guest list. That's what Tina & I did. At first it was fun, but it quickly got out of control. Between our friends and my family we had a BIG list. A too big list that needed to be cut down because each name is at least $100 to feed and keep plied with alcohol. It's a common situation, and when it occurs you need to trim the list. But everyone on the guest list is important, right? Wrong! You and your lovely need to thin out the crowd with a few rules.
Two simple rules may help reign in your guest list greatly:
1. No kids allowed
2.+1s are limited
I find #1 to be any easy call. Kids won't appreciate the wedding in its entirety and they will distract from their parent's good time. Let them stay home. The point is clear if you just leave their names off the invitations.
#2 is trickier. Some single friends will want to attend solo, others will not. You can give the +1 option to all single friends but then you open the door to them bringing a random person along and you paying for people you don't know. You could take away the +1 option completely and save a lot of cash, but some friends may feel alone and uncomfortable at your wedding. You could mix the option based on your perception of the invited's feeling toward attending solo. Your call, but there's a lot of room to save big here.
Next comes the hard part. Take a look at the friends on the list. When was the last time you communicated with these people? Last week? Then they should be invited. 8 months ago? If you're comfortable dropping them do so. 2 years ago? Gone. They're an easy kill. Drop 'em.
Next take a look at the family on the list. If one of the marrying families is small then all members should be invited. If one of the families is large, stretching across the country and back generations, then take a cold and honest look at these folks. When was the last time you spoke to them? Was it at that family reunion in 1993? If yes then they don't need to be invited. You don't really know them any more! Did you grow up with this person or are they close to your nuclear family? If yes then they're a keeper. Are they a black sheep and you just feel obligated to invite them? Don't.
Now that you've culled the herd and freed up some loot it's time to take it a step further and introduce a proper B-list. Don't know about the B-list? If you ever received a wedding invitation 3 weeks before the occasion then you probably do know the B-list.
The B-list is the second string guest list. Guests on the B-list are invited as A list guests RSVP as "unable to attend." Everyone does a B-list, and there's really nothing wrong with it, but they are a wedding's dirty little secret. That said the B-list is an opportunity for you to relieve some guilt and consider a friend as invited to the wedding. They just may never get an invitation!
There you have it; rules, culls, and a B-list. That will hone any wedding guest list into a well thought out document full of people you actually want to celebrate with and spend money on.

What happened to Richmont Direct?
Years ago, I worked for John Rochon's MLM company Richmont Direct. I wanted to get back into selling it because it's such great product, but I can't find online information about the company anywhere! I can't even find information on whether they went out of business. Does anyone know what happened?
Since their own website is not working, I am guessing that they have closed. If you want to try another great home business, I can make a great suggestion. I need partners to help with a new venture. If you are somewhere in he U.S. and have time to devote to a great company, let me know.

The Washington Nationals avoided the embarrassing sweep from their Beltway rivals by pulling out the 5-3 victory yesterday afternoon in Camden Yards.
John Lannan shined once again for the Nationals, and as usual it was in a spot where the Nats needed a pick-me-up. Lannan tossed 7.1 innings, allowing only six hits and three earned runs. He had allowed only four hits going into the 8th.
The two most different players on the team came together with the bat to give the Nationals the push they needed to pull out the win.
Dunn, a six-foot-seven 275 pound country boy from Houston, Texas launched a deep two run homer in the top of the fourth to give the Nationals an early 2-1 lead. Willie Harris, a five-foot-nine 185 pound "wee ballplayer" also contributed a homer as well as three hits and a stolen base.
Diversity in our Nations capital; ethnically, racially, and well, size-ally, is a good thing.
The Nationals were able to keep the top prospect in baseball, Matt Wieters, completely hitless. Wieters has often been considered the Orioles saving grace, and has been used by many O's fans as their trump card to our Stephen Strasburgh.
John Lannan has served the ace role well for the Nationals. When the Nationals have lost several in a row, and are starting to skid even more into oblivion than they already stand, Lannan has been there on the mound forging confidence into an untalented club.
His bulldog mentality allows him to dominate late into games despite lack-lust stuff on the mound. He pounds the corners without fear, he changes speeds on a dime, and he keeps runners off the base paths.
Even the Nationals always have a chance to win when John Lannan is on the mound.

Prep time: 5 mins

Sea Bass is a sweet, white textured fish, caught in British waters mainly over the summer and into early autumn. Check that is it hand-line caught.
This would go well with some wilted greens – whatever is in season or available. I like spinach, curly kale, spring greens or pak choi. It's the kind of thing we are great at growing in this country.
If it's the more robust type of green like curly kale, plunge it in a pan of slighted salted water for a minute or two first, then drain and then sprinkle with some soy sauce and fry a lightly- oiled pan for a couple of minutes.
Some crushed, buttery new potatoes with loads of black pepper would also be a good accompaniment.

AP News
NFL, Under Armour and GE work together on research
BALTIMORE (AP) — The NFL, Under Armour and GE have together issued a challenge for new engineering to help protect athletes from brain injury.
The group said Wednesday that it would award up to $10 million for new innovation and materials that could protect the brain from traumatic injury, as well as new tools for tracking head impacts in real time. It is the second of such challenges from the trio.
The move comes as the issue of concussions in football has taken center stage.
The NFL recently reached a $765 million settlement with former players, some suffering from Alzheimer's disease and depression, to settle claims that the league concealed the long-term dangers of concussions and rushed injured players back to the field.

Okay, so I really don't HATE Easter, there are just some things I dislike about it. Now don't get me wrong, Easter Vigil is a whole other story. Easter Vigil is people who want to be there because it's the real deal…the night when all the new people come into the church…it's very very cool…even if it is 3 1/2 hours long…yikes! At Easter Vigil you have basically three kinds of people…those who are Easter Vigil junkies (meaning they just really like that particular service and come every year), those who are coming back for the anniversary of their own entry into the church (sort of a like a junkie, but with a little more invested), and those who are coming into the church that night and their families. So Easter Vigil is cool. LOVE IT.
Easter Sunday, on the other hand is mostly about those people who come to church like twice a year, heretofore known as lily and poinsettia Catholics (some call them Chreaster Catholics, I prefer to use the flowers). They come to church twice a year because they think they are supposed to and so they have done their duty. Whatever. Then there are also what I like to call PAPAL Catholics (Palm Ashes Poinsettia And Lily) meaning they come for Palm Sunday and get palms, Ash Wednesday and get ashes and the two major religious holidays of the Christian world. Either way, it kind of bugs me. Why? Well not because I really have anything against them coming to church…but to me it's like…why aren't you here the rest of the year? It seems a bit…I dunno…hypocritical to come two, three, four times a year and call yourself a Catholic or a Christian…but that's just me. It seems to me that you should be there all the time or why bother? But again that's just me.
Now why does all of this make me hate Easter? Well, because of all these extra people we have to put up this huge tent in the parking lot because the church is not big enough to hold all these extra people…so that takes up a gazillion parking spaces and since I have to get there early to be ready for the next mass, that means that I get to park in the dirt and walk through the dirt in my nice pretty purple Easter dress and my brandie new white sandals…THAT is what I hate about Easter…There. I feel much better now.

I wasn't sure whether to put a post on about Hue or the sleeper train but then thought why not, I guess this blog is a mini diary of my adventures so here we go… I've merged the two into one post…
Overnight Sleeper train from Hanoi to Hue
So I was so excited when I found out part of our tour would be an overnight 14 hour train journey that meant sleeping in cabins – What a memory and experience it would be. However, to be honest it wasn't as great as I thought it'd be! Truth be told if it wasn't for the people I was with, who made it a good laugh, I probably would have hated it. So luckily, it was a laugh. 8 of us all squeezed into one cabin (that sleeps 4) and passed the 14 hour journey by a marathon card game of 'shithead' ! Haha, basically the loser is labelled the 'shithead'… gotta love the Aussies and their blunt humour, call a spade a spade n all.. love it !
Anyway, despite the small bunk beds and the rough jolting of the train every so often, resulting in a loud bang coming from somewhere, and my 3 snoring cabin-mates I actually enjoyed the experience and at least I can say I've now done it. Would I do it again? Damn right I would – but only with some awesome company, not on my own; I am a girly wimp after all…
The Imperial city of Hue
Totally underwhelmed with Hue sorry to say – which is actually pronounced 'way'… which I find weird straight of the bat. We only stayed one night, which was more than enough in my view. The city itself used to be the capitol of Vietnam which is interesting as apart from the city walls and the once palace type set up for the king, there ain't much else in Hue. We did visit a Pagoda and a tomb of a once king but that's it really. Oh but we did make incense!! This I loved since my flat was always so cloudy with incense it was actually hard to breathe at time – but I loved it !!
But, easily the best and most fun part of being in Hue was the night out we had – which was only in a wee bar across from the hotel – but it was hilarious; and obviously very drunken. 4 of us were left at the end of the night and we got chatting to a local Vietnamese girl – who I actually thought worked there but later asked and appears she lived next door to the bar!! – prob one of them weirdo's who lurk about bars every night on their own – a barfly I think they're called. "I called crazy" (in my best vietnamese accent). Haha, seriously! That was her name, you cant make this shit up! So anyway Crazy taught us the funniest and catchiest (if thats a word?!) song ever – a local vietnamese song which went like this…. "Vietnaaaaaam, Ho Chi Minh. Vietnaaaaam, Ho Chi Minh. Vietnaaaaam, Ho Chi Minh" etc etc – you get the jist I'm sure but I am well aware this is a you-had-to-be-there situation. Crazy aslo had the funniest and most annoying laugh I've ever heard in my life… the only way to describe it is of similar noise to a Hygena.. in fact you need to listen to this. Luckily for you lovely readers one of the Aussie guys got this on film and uploaded to you tube, so here is the link. Check out the girls laugh at the end of the song… fuckin funny!

"Yummy. I didn't have any cherry tomatoes, so I left them out. Very good flavor."
"This was very tasty. I thought the amount of sweetness was just right. I served it with rice and broccoli and everyone loved it!"
"Wow, this was really good! I wasn't expecting much because the recipe almost looked too simple. But it is so light and fresh tasting, and the fresh dill really takes it to a whole new level. Thanks for sharing!"
"This was okay. I left out the yum yum pickles and it still was sweeter than I liked. I only used half the cheese but it still seemed like too much. I guess I just don't like cheese in my macaroni salad! Everything seemed to be swimming in the dressing. I don't think i'll make this again."
"These were so yummy! I used a vidalia onion and cheddar cheese and made them with white bread. They were very filling and made a nice summer supper for us."
"Very easy to make and delicious. For the cake, I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup and used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour in place of 1/2 of the white flour. I made the streusel as directed and didn't add any icing, and it more than satisfied my sweet tooth!"
"Very easy to make and yummy."
"Easy to make, delicious, and perfect for when the family comes down with a cold! Thanks for the recipe."

We rejoined the gang on an average day at the apartment as Schmidt tried to foist a giant sushi platter on his roommates: "You know you want in on this, man! A little fatty tune, yellow-T, Cali roll, Samurai snack. So scrummy!" Nick wasn't interested in Schmidt's random $80 of sushistravaganza, but Schmidt thought Winston would be now that he had a "serious J-O-B," by which we mean a temp job that apparently involved putting one different size envelope into another.
Indeed, it was a thrilling vocation ("I sometimes touch the frayed end of the power cord just to feel something") that he had for about 10 seconds until Jess welcomed a gaggle of youths into their home to play hand bells. Their other option, it turns out, was early morning detention. (And one of them was Raven Goodwin! Did this thrill anyone else? Bueller, Bueller?) "I know hand bells aren't the coolest instrument in the world," Jess admitted. "They may not even be the fifth coolest," but it was enough to convince Winston. Add to that Jess's geektastic ecstasy at his willingness to join the bell choir, which was worth a whole paragraph -- and that's without mentioning her impromptu song: "Winston and me are playing bells every day!" Who's that girl? It's Jess!
And so Winston set his sights on the Ensembell with a focus not unlike a cat chasing a laser, though he did wonder, "So why do you do this bell thing, Jess? How do you win?" Jess explained that you won the chance to help these kids, but Winston had already set his eyes on the prize -- an all-bell rendition of "Eye of the Tiger". Jess preferred more traditional fare including "Camptown Races," but it was Survivor for Winston or nothing at all. After only a few hours, he had named a bell maneuver (formerly known as the "three in hand") after himself. Jess never stood a chance, what with her homespun bell dancing that resembled a sexless Tawny Kitaen infused with a dash of middle school cheerleader and a touch of broken robot arm.
Long story short, Winston got way too serious about the Ensembell. His attempt to criticize the kids' poor performance by sounding out "Eye of the Tiger" was particularly amazing: "Pah! Rest. Pah pah-pah! Rest..." And that's before he downgraded one of the players to Highlights magazines instead of hand bells, insulted another by calling her "WNBA" and saying her playing looked like "she [was] fighting off a shark," and complimented another by saying, "You didn't make me want to throw up." Lamorne Morris's physical comedy this episode was beyond description, and he even managed to surpass Schmidt with the one-liners. This was his night to shine.

Kitchen Faucets With Sprayer
Are you considering replacing or buying a new kitchen faucet? Kitchen faucets with sprayer is one of the products that makes life easier in the kitchen. Benefits of purchasing kitchen faucets with sprayer is the ability to rinse dishes efficiently, rinse out sinks with ease, rinse vegetables, and fill pots or buckets with water. When you are shopping for kitchen faucets with sprayer, keep in mind how many holes are in your sink and the existing decor of your kitchen. Many different styles are available with different functions - a pullout sprayer or pull down sprayer, or a side sprayer, in a variety of finishes as well.
American Standard 4433.150.075 Quince Single-Handle Pull-Out Sprayer Kitchen Faucet in Stainless Steel$240.72 (32% OFF)
American Standard 4433.100.002 Quince Single-Handle Pull-Out Sprayer Kitchen Faucet in Polished Chrome$170.00-$212.84 (32% OFF)
Out of stock
American Standard 4175.501.002 Colony Soft Single-Handle Side Sprayer Kitchen Faucet in Polished Chrome$115.60 (32% OFF)
American Standard 4114.001.002 Lakeland Single-Handle Side Sprayer Kitchen Faucet in Polished Chrome$201.28-$242.76 (32% OFF)
Before you buy your new product, know how many holes you will require in your kitchen sink. The installation of kitchen faucets requires the faucet to be inserted through holes in the sink, and each hole with have a different product or accessory installed. Single handle kitchen faucets with sprayer in a pull down or pull out style will require just one hole in the kitchen sink. Single handle kitchen faucets with sprayer that have a side spray will require one hole for the faucet and another hole for the side spray. A side spray is mounted on the side of your faucet. All sprayers are connected to a hose. The length of the hose will vary, depending on the type of faucet you choose. To be able to use the sprayer to fill buckets of water or pots on the counter, make sure the hose is long enough to reach your countertop. Most kitchen faucets with sprayer are activated by pressing a lever on the side of the spray head.
Kitchen faucets with sprayer add not just a great function to your kitchen, but also a touch of class. Designs and finishes vary with each manufacturer. When you are deciding what style you will be buying, make sure the style fits in with your decor. A contemporary or modern kitchen will shine when a faucet finished in chrome is installed and the sleek design will be sure to be a topic of conversation.
Another place you will find kitchen faucets with sprayer is in the commercial kitchen faucet lines. Although these faucets are normally used in a commercial setting, they are becoming a popular choice for kitchens. For example, the Krause single lever pull out kitchen faucet is a beautiful faucet that will update the look of your kitchen and give you incredible functionality. This particular faucet is manufactured with a sold brass body and a pull out hose that has enough force it will blast food off dishes. The single lever is easy to operated and if your hands are full or possibly contaminated, simply use your elbow or forearm to turn the water on. With a hose that measures over two feet long, you can reach areas you never reached before. An added bonus that many people do not consider is how easy it is to bathe your small pet or wash your hair, or your kids' hair.
Some of the most common finishes are stainless steel and chrome, but you should have no problem finding kitchen faucet sprayers in more modern finishes such as oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, wrought iron, and more. Whatever style and finish you choose, updating your kitchen with kitchen faucets with sprayer is a worthwhile investment.

New York City winters, which often bring extreme cold, heavy snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain, can pose serious hazards.
Winter weather kills hundreds of people in the U.S. each year, primarily due to traffic accidents, fires from improper use of heaters, overexertion, and exposure. Additionally, threats such as hypothermia and frostbite can lead to loss of fingers and toes or cause permanent injury to vital organs.
Nor'easters — coastal storms that combine typical winter storm hazards with high winds and coastal flooding — can knock out power, flood homes and roads, and cause structural damage.
It's important to prepare for winter weather-related dangers. There are several steps you can take to stay safe before, during, and after winter storms.
Winterizing your home and vehicle, supplementing your Go Bag with warm outerwear, and ensuring your Emergency Supply Kit is fully stocked are just some of the preparations you should consider making before winter sets in.

American chestnut in Maine top rankedBy CLARKE CANFIELD
THE Associated Press | November 22,2012AP PHOTO
Maine Forest Service forester Merle Ring, left, and Michele Windsor, of the Oxford County Soil and Water Conservation District, measure the diameter of whats believed to be the tallest American chestnut tree in its native range in Hebron, Maine.HEBRON, Maine A Maine forester has measured what is believed to be the tallest American chestnut tree in its native range.
The 95-foot tree is in some woodlands in this small town in southwestern Maine. There is no official record keeping, but officials with The American Chestnut Foundation say the Maine tree is thought to be the tallest from Maine to Mississippi.
Ann Siekman said she and her husband knew they had a tall chestnut on their property, but they had no idea it would be the tallest in the East.
I personally am a tree lover, so its very important to me that all of us be aware of our tree heritage, she said. For that reason, Im delighted its getting some attention.
Once known as the redwood of the East, the American chestnut was one of the most dominant trees in the eastern United States, routinely growing as tall as 100 feet and measuring 5 feet across at the base. But a blight overtook the trees during the first half of the 1900s, wiping out the population by the 1950s.
The American Chestnut Foundation, an Asheville, N.C.-based conservation organization devoted to restoring chestnuts to eastern woodlands, has regional offices that keep unofficial tabs on the trees. The Maine chestnut is the tallest that anybody with the foundation is aware of.
Most of the bigger chestnuts we come across tend to top out around 70, 75 and maybe 80 feet, said Kendra Gurney, the foundations regional science coordinator in Burlington, Vt.
Chestnuts tend to grow tallest when theyre crowded among other large trees and need to grow straight up in search of sun. Maine, the nations most heavily forested state, has plenty of oaks that grow higher than 100 feet and pines that can reach 150 feet.
The chestnut in Hebron is hidden from public view in some back woods among oaks, beeches and maples.
Although people have known about it for years, it wasnt officially measured until this fall when Maine Forest Service forester Merle Ring took its dimensions as part of a countywide big tree contest sponsored by the Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District.
Ring and Michele Windsor, from the conservation district, re-measured the tree Wednesday to confirm the earlier measurement.
Such measurements are done using the principles of trigonometry and a simple, handheld instrument called a clinometer. Standing 100 feet from the tree, Ring used the clinometer to measure the angles to the top and bottom of the tree before calculating the height using the angle measurements.
There are large American chestnut trees in the West, but those were planted by settlers and are outside both the trees native range and the blight that wiped out the trees last century.MORE IN News

Kansas basketball sneak peak, Part 2
Bill Self has always preferred to play a seven- or eight-man rotation. He might have a ninth or 10th guy who plays spot minutes here and there, but by March, Self likes a smaller set rotation.
This season could be Self's greatest challenge at finding eight players he sticks with, and it's not because his options are limited.
Before I get to my thoughts on the bench guys and observations on each from Saturday's practice, I'll reiterate that this was just one day, and as you'll read, some guys had an off day. Others looked promising. I'll probably read too much into both, but what else are we going to do in July?
In case you missed it, here are my impressions on the KU starters from Saturday's scrimmage.
First off the bench
Remember when Jacque Vaughn would dribble up the court and sneak behind an opposing big man, then dart in front of the big for either a layup or to set up a teammate in transition? Vaughn was like a great running back. Great vision. Great patience. He knew when to make his move, when to accelerate. Naadir Tharpe reminded me of Vaughn on Saturday.
The sophomore point guard picked his spots to dart to the basket. He found his teammates in positions where they could succeed. He looked like a veteran point guard.
It was a much different look than last year when Tharpe would play spot minutes and simply try to stay out of the way. He was willing to take the open jumper, but other than that, all Self wanted was Tharpe to eat minutes. This year Self will want Tharpe to run the team and play close to mistake-free. By my count, he had one turnover during Saturday's scrimmage. Not only was his play great, but I loved his attitude and demeanor. He was vocal and constantly communicating with his coaches and teammates.
"You saw him on his best day," Self said. "Naadir has been hot and cold, to say the least, but today he was much better. He's had a problem passing the ball all over the place, but today he scrimmaged pretty well. He's fast. He can make a shot. It'd be nice if he can settle in as a backup point guard, but I really don't know yet because he hasn't been very consistent so far."
Maybe so. I'm not convinced Self isn't bluffing, pushing some motivational buttons. For one day anyway, Tharpe showed a little Jacque in his game and made great decisions. If Ben McLemore is struggling or Self doesn't trust him yet in crunch time, I could see Tharpe stepping in and being a guy Self can trust. We'll see how he looks when the lights come on or if Self really is unconvinced, but I'm optimistic Tharpe will become yet another guard in Self's program who didn't play early and then later on became a key contributor, a la Brady Morningstar, Tyrel Reed, Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson.
The shooter
Andrew White will blow you away in warmups. He has good size — I might even believe he's 6-6, as he's listed — and he already has the body to play at the collegiate level. White's jumper is picture-perfect and he rarely missed before the team started scrimmaging. Then, the Jayhawks starting scrimmaging…
White was one of the players that had a rough day. He had one really nice moment: a drive to the basket when he went behind-the-back around his defender and finished with a finger roll. Other than that, he looked like he hasn't quite caught up to the speed of the game and he could not hit a jumper.
White's shooting struggles appeared to be tired legs and possibly a little mental. Near the end of practice when Self had the blue team practicing against a 2-3 zone, White had missed several 3s in a row and Self stopped practice and had White take a shot from the right wing where he had just missed. White missed. Self said "again," and he missed again. On about the fourth try, Self said you make this or the whole team runs, and White missed.
The fact that Self would do this said to me that he believes White is going to play a role this year and he needs him to make shots. He needs him to realize his role is to make shots. Once White catches up to the speed of the game and feels more natural on the court, I believe he will.
My guess is that White will play 15-20 minutes a game and have a few games where he knocks in 4-5 threes. Other nights, he'll barely be a factor. I love the stroke and the ability to get to the basket if a defender closes like he did on his highlight finger roll on Saturday.
The battle for backup big man
Kevin Young
Young played pretty well and was exactly as you'll remember him from this past year: endless energy and great at attacking the offensive glass. He looked a little more comfortable on the court and has started to grasp where he's supposed to be; last year, I think he needed a GPS to find his place in the offense.
Young will earn playing time because Self knows what he's going to get out of him, and I could even see him starting over Perry Ellis for the first couple games. His best move of the day was a lefty hook off the glass from about eight feet over a couple defenders. Young really got up on the shot and when he released it, his hand appeared to be above the rim.
Young also made the only 3-pointer that he took, and I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Self was able to get him to only take the occasional 3 last year and he went 3 of 9. In two seasons at Loyola Marymount, he attempted 149 threes and shot 26 percent. So Young shooting from the perimeter is probably not a good idea, and it might be best if he sticks to shooting inside 10 feet and being the team's best offensive rebounder.
Justin Wesley
Wesley might share most improved honors with Tharpe. As the scrimmage was almost over, I thought to myself: "I'm not sure I've seen Wesley foul yet." As you'll remember, Wesley was to fouling as Thomas Robinson was to hating rims; he committed 8.5 fouls per 40 minutes. On Saturday, Wesley looked like one of the strongest interior defenders and held his ground in the post without fouling.
And speaking of rim hate, the Jayhawks might have a replacement in that department for Mr. Robinson. Wesley tried to dunk everything and was either successful or got fouled on each attempt. And not all of these dunks were uncontested; Wesley was usually trying to dunk over a defender or two.
The dunks were cool to see, but even more exciting to me was to watch Wesley actually play with some comfort and feel for the game. Last season when he got on the court, it was like throwing a football player out there. I'm not expecting Wesley to develop great footwork and a post game, but he at least has picked up how to defend and where to be offensively. Both he and Young could be great energy guys off the bench and provide some highlight reel theatrics at the rim.
Jamari Traylor
Traylor's game is more developed than Wesley's was last year, but he sort of fits the description as a football player getting thrown on a basketball court. He is a great athlete and can jump out of the gym. On one breakaway dunk, Traylor's head was almost level with the rim. But when it comes to feel offensively and not just hacking away on defense, Traylor needs to be given the Thomas Robinson curriculum.
Nearly every time Taylor got the ball, Self yelled out: "Make a move, Jamari." At this point, Traylor is just trying to overpower everyone and it's obvious the coaching staff is trying to get him to develop a post game. Traylor did have one nice jump hook off the glass, and until he improves his footwork, his best chance is probably to go to that quick jump hook every time he touches it on the block.
Traylor is a project but he'll be able to compete for playing time this season by playing defense and rebounding. He has a build and athleticism similar to Robinson, so it'll be fun to watch him develop and see if KU's coaching staff (minus Danny Manning) can work its magic.
The fringe rotation guards
Rio Adams
Adams was noticeably frustrated for most of practice with his play and Self was on him hard. He could never really get into the flow of the offense and had some breakdowns defensively. He had a bad day, but you can see some potential there.
Adams is well built for a freshman guard and could turn into a great slasher. His high school coach has compared him to Dwyane Wade, and that's probably a stretch, but I can see it. He sort of moves like Wade with wide strides and the ability to find gaps and work angles when he's driving.
Defensively, Adams could become a good on-the-ball defender and had one of the best steals of the day when he picked up Elijah Johnson in the backcourt, got his hand on Johnson's crossover and dove on the ball. Self was quick to praise him for that play. Adams was also whistled for several fouls and is a little handsy when he's defending the ball.
It's tough to foresee Adams playing a lot of minutes this year unless KU has some injuries in the backcourt, but he could be another KU guard who matures and turns into a starter down the road if he's willing to wait his turn. He is in the combo guard mold that Self likes. He doesn't have a great jumper, but his ability to get to the rim along with his potential as a defender will give him a chance to earn some minutes here and there this season and a spot in the rotation next year.
Milton Doyle
I might be the first to jump on the Milton Doyle bandwagon. It's tough to see Doyle playing many minutes this season because he is probably the skinniest kid Self has ever brought to KU. Andrea Hudy has her work cut out.
Skills-wise, however, Doyle is probably the best of the KU freshman. His jumper is nice and I get the impression that he's the type of shooter who is willing to take and make big shots. Doyle made almost all of his jumpers in the first three quarters of the scrimmage. His missed a couple in a row in the final period when his legs were getting tired.
Doyle also has a nice handle and good touch around the rim. He threw in a leaner off the glass once and was comfortable with the ball in traffic. Some young guys will hesitate or throw up a crazy shot when they get in traffic; Doyle has a really nice feel in traffic and never looked like he got in a hurry.
Defensively, Doyle's instincts were really impressive. He jumped in passing lanes and got several steals, and he had a good idea of where he should be on the defensive end at all times.
So will he be a part of Self's rotation? Maybe. It depends on how Self feels about throwing a skinny guy out there. You could tell a few times that Doyle was easily pushed around. He definitely needs to spend some time with Hudy. I don't think Self will redshirt him, however, because of Doyle's ability to shoot the ball and the fact that he could be utilized in certain situations, like against a zone.
Like Tharpe, this could have been one of Doyle's better days, but I'm excited to watch him play. And one thing I forgot to mention: he's a legit 6-4 and his wingspan would get Jay Bilas excited. Now go to work, Hudy.
The bodies
If the Jayhawks ever face a terrible free throw shooter, Self could take a page out of Gregg Popovich's book and hack away as Zach Peters and Landen Lucas make the Jayhawks a legitimate seven deep in the post.
Neither Lucas nor Peters will make a big impact this year, but both have the bodies to play right away and eat up minutes.
Peters has decent form on his jumper and it looks like he wants to float to the perimeter at times. He didn't make any jumpers on Saturday, but you can see the potential as a guy who can knock down a 17-footer consistently at some point. He had a couple strong finishes around the basket and went after the ball hard on the boards. He almost reminds me of the big men Texas had in the early 2000s, similar to a Brian Boddicker.
Lucas has a strong base and held his ground in the post. He has the potential to be a solid post defender and possibly develop some post moves. He had one really nice up-and-under.
I think Lucas has a better chance to be a starter at some point in point in his career, but at this point, both are big bodies that will benefit from KU coaching.
The towel wavers
Not much to report here. Tyler Self did knock down a 3 and scored five points. Evan Manning is the best of the walk-ons and I could see him someday working his way into a Brett Ballard-type role where he comes off the bench and plays really smart ball. Manning has a good feel for the game — shocker, right? — and he would be a solid point guard at a smaller school. It's cool to see him at KU.
If you made it this far, I salute you. I'm excited for the season and would love to make the trip to Europe this week. This November and December could be a lot more interesting than most as Self tries to figure out who will play what role in his army of 18.

Sawsaa, Ahlam, Zhaozong , Meng and Lu, Joan (2012) Using an Application of Mobile and Wireless Technology in Arabic Learning System. In: Learning with Mobile Technologies, Handheld Devices and Smart Phones: Innovative Methods. IGI Global , pp. 1-21. ISBN 9781466609365Metadata only available from this repository.
Abstract Mobile and Wireless technologies has been used in various areas, and it
begins to have a huge impact on how education takes place in several disciplines.
This technology has improved considerably, making mobile devices extraordinarily
suitable and reasonable and M-Learning a reality. Wireless Response System
(WRS) is a developed generation of Student Response System (SRS). It uses
devices that enable students and trainers to provide definite responses to many
questions during the lesson with an immediate feedback to the students about their
level of knowledge and understanding. However teaching in Arabic language need
some specific features which have been included in the existing WRS and the steps
of implementing them are considered in this paper. The developed version of WRS
seeks to increase the users' interactions and engagement through adding a new
function to WRS which is Arabic language. Nevertheless, some universities and
institutes in Arab world signed strategic corporations with mobile service providers to
start this type of services for their education branches.. This paper contains an
analysis of ICT penetration and the level of m-learning environments in Arabic

Can Amazon Put Brick-and-Mortar Retail Back Together Again?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I have been a big proponent of flagship Amazon.com (AMZN) retail stores for some time.
Jeff Bezos, speaking to Charlie Rose on CBS, discussed the issue. In the process, he proved why he is, by leaps and bounds, the best CEO in the world, right alongside Howard Schultz at Starbucks (SBUX).
Watch this. It is simply fantastic stuff (with respect to CBS, you might have to sit through a 30-second commercial, but it's well worth it):
If your first reaction was Wait a minute, the Kindle Fire is a 'me, too' product, you really don't understand Amazon. Sadly, I might not be able to save you, but I'll try.If 100 companies are doing something and you're the 101st, you're not really bringing any value to society. Couple this with the strategy of aggressive spending to seize massive opportunity and, again, with the exception of Starbucks, there is not another company, across industries, doing anything even as close to entrepreneurial, innovative and exciting as Amazon. Plenty of companies with limited resources, relative to Amazon and Starbucks, are taking similar chances, but it's a different ball game. Very few giants and blue-chips take this approach. They park money overseas, hem and haw about political gridlock and produce uninspiring copycats of what everybody else is already doing. That's not money well spent. So, we know that Amazon took the $3 billion bond because it's a great environment to do it in. It's relatively cheap debt and the company has so many different directions it can go in to get a solid ROI from the move. It will work on Amazon Web Services. It's dropping serious cash on a new headquarters building. Of course, Jeff Bezos is probably frightened by Netflix (NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings' strong words ( via All Things D) so he needs extra cash to spend on digital content. There's little doubt in most people's minds that, as it exponentially expands its fulfillment capacity in and around major urban centers, Amazon will shoot for same-day delivery. That brings us to the possibility of physical retail. Amazon already tests something like same-day delivery in select cities across the U.S. -- Amazon Locker. For some items you have the option at checkout to pick up your items at a location somewhere in your city.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
620 mistakes
Starring: Alyson Hannigan, Amber Benson, Anthony Head, Charisma Carpenter, David Boreanaz, Eliza Dushku, Emma Caulfield, James Marsters, Juliet Landau, Kristine Sutherland, Marc Blucas, Mercedes McNab, Michelle Trachtenberg, Nicholas Brendon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Seth Green
Revealing mistake: When the Gentlemen are chasing Tara in Stevenson Hall, in the first hallway two Gentlemen are floating down the corridor and you can tell they're on wires because the one on the screen's left "jumps" a little as if his wires got snagged.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode when Buffy is talking to Giles about how she can't face her friends, her hair is over her ears for the entire conversation, but when she is about to walk away, her hair is suddenly tucked behind her ear and she couldn't have tucked it behind as that side of her head is still in view when the camera's on Giles.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode Buffy is thrown against a 'No Trespassing' sign and the sign is all crinkled, the vampire also punches it but later in the episode we see the same sign except that it looks brand new.
The Harsh Light Of Day - S4-E3
Revealing mistake: When Buffy is fighting Spike, she throws him against a table and then runs over it; you can see this is her body double. It is extremely obvious.
Continuity mistake: When Cordelia gets out of the car, she shuts the door, but in the next shot the door is open and is then hit by the truck.
After Life - S6-E3
Continuity mistake: When Dawn and Buffy were talking in Willow and Tara's room, Dawn's necklace went from being above her top, to underneath her top.
Visible crew/equipment: When Harmony sits down opposite the operating table, behind her in the glass there is a reflection of a boom mike.
Continuity mistake: At home Buffy helps her mother open a crate. She tears off the cover and leaves it hanging by the side. Next shot the lid is back on. Not nailed anymore of course, but there was no time to put it back on.
Continuity mistake: The first night that the Gentlemen float through the college, they are on the 2nd floor one minute (all the room numbers start with 2), then they turn a corner and are suddenly outside room 118, a floor below.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where the demons are attacking, one of the demons throws Buffy across a table. If you look carefully, you'll see the black mat which softens the stunt double's fall on the floor when she hits the ground.
Life Serial - S6-E5
Revealing mistake: The entire scene where Buffy is experiencing accelerated time, shadows of trees move in the wind but never actually grow or shrink. Even over short increments of time, the sun can move shadows noticeably, and judging from the speed of the people around her, Buffy is in accelerated time for at least half an hour.
After Life - S6-E3
Continuity mistake: Watch Spike's hand when he punches the wall. The punch lands with his middle knuckle in the wall, but when he looks at his hand it is mostly the largest knuckle that is bleeding.
Revealing mistake: When Buffy is on the hospital bed, a few minutes before Willow arrives, as the doctors are working on Buffy, you can see her swallow.
Revealing mistake: Throughout almost the entire sword fight between Buffy and Angel, from the far away shots, its clear that the actors are stunt doubles. It's very visible when there is a shot from the top.
The Dark Age - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Buffy complains to Willow and Xander that she will have to blow her allowance on getting the tattoo removed before her Mom sees it. Moments later when Buffy is talking to Giles, the tattoo is gone.
Revealing mistake: As Willow, Cordy, Miss. Calendar and Giles are wheeled over the bones of the Master, Giles goes past and his hand brushes against the bones - the skeleton bends, revealing that it is rubber.
Factual error: When Buffy and Angel escape from Spike, Dru and the Judge they jump down into the sewer, then run all of five metres before going up the ladder to escape. When they come out of the sewer they are in a very open area with the factory nowhere in sight. They have not travelled far enough for this to be the case.
Continuity mistake: When Buffy is giving her speech about being chosen, there is a shot of Andrew sitting on the couch next to Xander and Anya, but in several of the shots of the Potentials he can be seen standing on the other side of the room in front of the curtains. It's definitely him - his face isn't visible, but the clothes are the exact same.
All The Way - S6-E6
Revealing mistake: In one fight scene, Buffy uses a car door to block a kick from a vampire. The window of the car breaks before the kick connects with it. In fact, it breaks while the foot is still in mid-air.
Plot hole: When Buffy talks to Xander at the end and he tells her to stay with Riley, she mentions that he is going at midnight. But earlier in the episode, Riley doesn't tell Buffy he is going at midnight, he says "Transport's leaving tonight" first, and at the end of the conversation he says "Unless you give me a reason to stay, I'm leaving tonight". Nowhere in this episode does he tell Buffy that he's leaving at midnight.
