Guilty plea in machete attackA 62-year-old Castleton man pleaded guilty Tuesday to injuring his neighbors during an attack with a machete.
Emilliano Zapatta pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and was given a five-month to one-year suspended sentence which he will serve on probation.
In exchange for his guilty plea, state prosecutors amended the charges against him from felony counts of aggravated assault to the misdemeanor charges he pleaded to. Prosecutors also dropped a misdemeanor charge against Zapatta of violating his court-ordered conditions of release.
The Pond Hill Road resident was arrested in September 2012 after a border dispute with his neighbors turned bloody.
Castleton Police said in court records that Zapatta assaulted Douglas and Sheila Cook who live next door to him and whom he was battling in court at the time. The Cooks home sits on land that once belonged to Zapatta.
Douglas Cook, 77, told police he was checking on some trees near the boundary of his property and Zapattas land when Zapatta attacked him. Cook told police he fell to the ground while trying to run away and Zapatta jumped on him holding a machete.
Zapatta allegedly pinned his neighbor to the ground and wrapped an electrical cord around his neck that Cook said choked him into unconsciousness.
Sheila Cook, 72, said she and a friend who was visiting witnessed the assault and ran to help. Sheila Cook told police that she grappled with Zapatta, trying to wrestle the machete away from him as he struck her in the head with the handle and punched her husband in the face.
The couples friend Nancy Ward told police she picked up a heavy metal wire and struck Zapatta repeatedly in the back of the head.
Zapatta ran back to his house as sirens approached, Ward said.
When he was questioned by police, Zapatta, a former airline captain, said he was walking in the woods with his dogs when he came upon Douglas Cook pouring gasoline onto a generator Zapatta owns.
Zapatta said he tried to tie Cooks hands with the extension cord to secure him until police arrived.
Officer Cheri McDermott of the Castleton Police Department said she found no gasoline on Zapattas generator.
During Zapattas appearance in court in 2012, his defense attorney argued that Zapatta couldnt have attacked his neighbor because of a disability that made it difficult for him to walk.
During the arraignment, the defense attorney also pointed out bandages on Zapattas hands and a long cut on his forehead that he said were the result of injuries inflicted by the Cooks.

The Beer of Wine Country
WELCOME! Jump to: BEER ORDERS
Fires have long left their legacy in the arid South Okanagan, claiming many historic buildings such as the Fairview Hotel (the "Big Teepee") in the old Fairview mining town. When the mines ran out of gold, the residents began moving down to the new village of Oliver, where a newly built irrigation ditch brought different riches to the parched landscape: agriculture. The town of Oliver still stands, but the fire station siren is often heard screaming in the desert air, and Main Street is riddled with holes where fires have torched building after building. Even our ski hill's peak is burnt to a crisp, earning the name "Mt. Baldy" and leaving eerie tree skeletons to dodge while ridin' fresh powder.
The volunteer firefighters built a modern fire station, leaving their original fire hall downtown in the heart of Canada's Wine Capital. The "Old Firehall" is the home of our humble brewery, as well as Bill & Dawn Reid's Firehall Bistro, and with the honourable firefighters of all communities in mind, the Firehall Brewery is proud to offer high-quality craft beers in their name. The brewery's passion for enjoyable brews is only rivalled by its love for music and the great outdoors.
Welcome to the craft beer revolution! The Firehall Brewery encourages all those of legal drinking age to enjoy the fruits of a brewer's art in moderation with good company in true Canadian style.

California's Turtles | |
Turtles are distinct from all other reptiles (and amphibians) in
California, due to their large, rounded shell. Turtles are almost always
found in or near water, often basking on branches or logs in the water.
The Desert Tortoise, however, is found on land in the desert, usually
far from water. Sea turtles will be found in the open ocean, or on a
beach, but they are rarely seen in California. Most turtles are active
during daylight during warm weather, including sunny winter days.
Besides sea turtles, there are only three species of native California
turtles, and four non-natives which have established themselves with
breeding populations in the state, mostly around populated areas. A turtle found in the wild in California may not be a native turtle or even one of the established non-natives seen here. In populated areas, especially in ponds and lakes in city parks, you will often find exotic turtles which have been released by irresponsible pet owners. These turtles may be similar in appearance to the turtles shown here. In order to identify them you will need a comprehensive guide to turtles of the world, since these pet turtles can originate from just about anywhere. California's only native freshwater turtle, the Western Pond Turtle is a freshwater reptile that likes to spend his fair weather days basking in the sun on a river bank or on a snag in the water. If the weather heats up, you may see him floating around to cool his body temperature down. The Western Pond Turtle has black spots on a light-colored head and their nose is blunt. The spiny soft-shelled turtle's nose is pointed. Painted turtles, as well as sliders have the same shaped head, but it's dark-toned. They also have light stripes or whorls on them. Unfortunately, the Western Pond Turtle is now classified in California as a species of special concern. Because these reptiles can live into their 40s, their presence is not a true indication of their numbers and they are being closely monitored. Their numbers have dwindled in the wild due to the majority of streams, marshes, and ponds that the turtles have called home having been drained, developed or diverted. The Sonoran mud turtle is medium sized (up to 6¼ inches) with a smooth, high-domed upper part of the shell. The Sonoran mud turtle can be distinguished from the yellow mud turtle by noting its non-enlarged ninth marginal scute The same scute on a yellow mud turtle is usually taller than it is wide. Scutes are the large, hornified plates that cover the shell. This turtle generally has a uniform light brown or yellowish-brown shell. The shell is often partially covered with algae. The head and neck have light and dark marks. Males have tails with a hooked tip and 2 groups of thickened scales on the inner surfaces of the hind legs. A stream dweller, the Sonoran mud turtle is usually found in springs, creeks, ponds, and intermittent streams. Though occasionally found in desert and grassland areas, this turtle usually inhabits oak to pinyon-juniper woodlands or pine-fir forest. The California desert tortoise is a member of the gopher turtle family The Desert Tortoise can be found in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts of southern California. They inhabit semi-arid grasslands, gravelly desert washes and sandy canyon bottoms below 3,500 feet. To escape the heat of the summer and the cold of winter the desert tortoises live in burrows which they dig. Some of them can be three to six feet deep. They will spend November through February in a torpid state in their underground burrows. Some burrows have been used for over a hundred years. 95% of a tortoise's life is spent underground. Their most active time is in the spring when they will forage for herbs, grasses, new growth of cactus and annual flowers. Its front legs are muscular and flattened with long claws, and are very well adapted for digging deep burrows. Desert Tortoises can make hissing, popping, and poinking sounds, usually out of fear or distress. Its domed, brown shell (carapace) can grow to be 9-15 inches in length, 4-6 inches high, and the tortoise can weigh from 8 to 15 lbs. They usually live to be about 80 years, but some have been known to be a 100 years old. There is no mistaking a Spiny Soft-shelled Turtle, it is often described as being 'pancake like' and having a 'pig snout'! Spiny softshells are found in rivers, streams, and large lakes with sandy or muddy bottoms. Sandbars are important for basking and egg laying sites. This is a large aquatic turtle that may reach an adult length of eight to 20 inches (adult females are much larger than males). Most of their diet is comprised of insects, snails, crustaceans and small fish. The softshell turtle is often found in shallow water where it may sit on the bottom, or partially buried in the substrate, with its neck out-stretched and its nostrils extending just above the surface of the water for air. The Spiny Softshell has a light greenish-brown skin color with small dark markings on the legs. There is a black-edged, yellowish stripe on each side of the head and neck that runs through each eye. The shell is flat and covered with a leathery olive to brown skin and is marked with large, dark circular spots. |

Washington, February 12, 2013 — Sites and artifacts in the nation's capital and Virginia's Tidewater region are filled with faith markers left by America's founders.
One way to find these markers in the maze of tourist stops is to follow and listen to an expert guide's narrative. Upcoming tours of DC and Virginia's Historic Triangle are being offered for the 10th year by the American Family Association and Providence Foundation, an organization dedicated to Christian education.
"Throughout history, nations have built monuments, usually to record victories in battle or to honor their gods," said Stephen McDowell – president of Providence Foundation. "Every nation's monuments and national symbols reflect the heart of the people and identify what they believe is the source of their nation's greatness and achievements."
America's monuments, he said, are built to declare the source of the nation's birth, liberty and greatness under God
McDowell partners with the American Family Association and its leaders, Tim and Alison Wildmon, to offer organized multi-day Spiritual Heritage Tours of Washington and Mount Vernon, as well as Virginia's Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown. Takers may do either or both tours.
June 16-19 (Virginia); 19-22 (DC/Mount Vernon);
September 15-18 (Virginia); 18-21 (DC/Mount Vernon)
For complete itinerary, cost, information about each stop, and signup, visit http://spiritualheritagetours.com/.
What's in store for tour participants? Fun, education, and spiritual uplift, said Wildmon.
"We don't just visit sites, but we talk about the stories and people who were connected with them – like Franklin D. Roosevelt's prayer for the nation right before D-Day in 1944, and George Washington's faith and the role it took in his life. At the National Archives, we discuss references to the Creator God in such documents as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
"Our hundreds of participants of all ages and faith expressions have consistently thanked us for educating them about America's Christian heritage," said Wildmon. "They enjoy the sites and the sharing we do over group meals on the tour. And have plenty of fun as we do the inspirational sightseeing."

Ok folks it's time for me to officially announce the project I've eluded to so many times (like here: http://www.wdwradio.com/forums/disne...s-stories.html).
Extinct Disney - a site dedicated to the attractions we knew and loved - is officially up and running! It's still very much under construction but I think it's at a point now where it's at least worth sharing officially.
I'm proud of what I've done so far but it definitely needs a lot of work. Honestly it'll probably be one of those sites that is constantly under construction... knowing me, as soon as it's "finished" I'll go in and completely revamp it. :)
So head on over and check it out folks! Let me know whatcha think! Have a Magical Day!!

But one likely barrier to a higher inflation target is a quirk of tax policy: non-indexation of capital taxation means that higher inflation causes a stealth rise in the real tax rate on capital gains and interest income...I'm glad to see Josh Barro addressing this issue: although it's little understood, it's arguably the most important economic effect of inflation.
Inflation has large impacts on the real capital gains tax rate. To understand why, consider an investor who buys an asset for $100 and earns a 40% real gain over seven years. In a world of 2% inflation, the investor's nominal gain is $60.82, and he pays $9.12 in capital gains tax at a 15% nominal rate; this is a 19.9% effective tax rate on his real gain of $45.95 (equivalent to $40 at the start of the investment period).
But if the inflation rate had been 4%, the nominal gain would have grown to $84.23 and the real tax rate to 24.0% -- a 21% relative increase in the tax rate. This effect would be even larger if the real rate of return were lower, meaning the inflation penalty on capital gains grows when inflation is high or when asset markets are anemic.
To see why, it's useful to look at the more commonly cited deleterious effects of inflation. These include:
- It hurts people on fixed incomes.
- More generally, it redistributes from lenders to borrowers.
- It lessens the incentive to save.
- It causes people to hold an inefficiently low level of real money balances.
- Adjusting prices incurs a transactions cost—for instance, in updating a menu.
Upon closer examination, none of these except the last two are really problematic effects of "inflation." Rather, they arise from unexpected and variable inflation. If high inflation is expected, it will be built into pension plans and interest rates; assuming it stays on target, no economic damage is done. Of course, if inflation moves in an unanticipated direction, we see an arbitrary redistribution from lenders to borrowers (or vice versa), and the resulting uncertainty will lessen the incentive to save. But the damage here is from the unexpected component of inflation, not inflation itself.
The direct effect of inflation on money balances is also quite small. 4% inflation won't cause any serious inefficiency in the use of cash for transactions; we carry so little actual cash that the small amount eroded by inflation is almost irrelevant, and when we pay via checking accounts inflation only matters for the fraction of our deposits that banks keep as reserves. (The required reserves ratio is at most 10% in the US for demand deposits and zero for certificates of deposit, money market funds, etc.) Moreover, inflation has no clear impact on the real returns to investment: the future nominal returns from an equity investment scale up along with inflation, with zero net real effect. And most firms change prices often enough that a moderate level of inflation doesn't lead to any serious logistical inconvenience.
To sum up: the commonly cited downsides of inflation are not really problems with inflation at all, but rather a lack of precision in our expectations of inflation.* Other negative effects are close to zero in practical terms, at least when we restrict ourselves to inflation levels that are plausible in the United States. So what is so bad about inflation—assuming it doesn't unpredictably lurch around?
As far as I can tell, interaction with capital gains taxes is actually the key issue here. Starting in the late 1970s, Martin Feldstein convincingly argued that the era's high inflation imposed an extraordinary burden on capital investment—which, of course, is critical for economic growth. This wasn't because inflation was inherently problematic. It was simply a result of the distortions imposed by a tax system that failed to index properly.
Given the central role of inflation in discussing macroeconomic policy, it is astonishing that this effect is so little understood by the commentariat.
*As Arnold Kling points out, the distinction blurs a little if high inflation itself causes expectations to be less accurate.

Crestron Joins NSCA's SystemsPlus Health Solutions
The National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA) announced that Crestron Electronics has joined the growing number of manufacturers and systems integrators participating in the SystemsPlus Health Solutions insurance program.
The National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA) announced that Crestron Electronics has joined the growing number of manufacturers and systems integrators participating in the SystemsPlus Health Solutions insurance program. Created by NSCA in 2006, SystemsPlus Mutual Insurance Co. (SPMIC) provides a variety of insurance solutions and began offering health insurance in January 2009.
"This is a win-win for our industry," said Randy Klein, executive vice president of Crestron Electronics, in a statement. "We are pleased to join this impressive list of industry leaders who realize the significance of providing the best healthcare options to their employees, while at the same time helping smaller integration companies with their struggle to offer benefits for their people. We recognize how expensive providing healthcare coverage is for our systems integrator customers, so we jumped at the chance to help them."
SystemsPlus Health Solutions is designed to help commercial electronic systems companies combat rising health insurance premiums. The program offers innovative alternatives, such as wellness initiatives and the ability to receive future credits toward insurance premiums.
"Having a large firm like Crestron join our program sets the stage for SPMIC to extend the program to smaller companies," said Ray Bailey, president of the SystemsPlus Board of Directors, in a statement. "Over the course of the last few months, other groups like AVI-SPL, Ford AV, LMG, and Mitek Communications Group have all joined the organization. Many smaller businesses make up this industry, so it is important to help them purchase insurance as if they had the purchasing power of a 3,000-employee company. It's a very exciting benefit that the association will be able to provide."
Program participants can access a national network of providers, stabilize health insurance costs, earn premium credits based on program and individual company performance, encourage employees to manage health risk (preventative maintenance procedures covered 100 percent and not subject to co-insurance or deductibles), and reduce the burden on human resources through one contact and one program for the entire company, even if there are branches in multiple states.

I am in the big city of Johannesburg for a whole week! Yeah! I adore the shopping malls. As I have reached the age & stage where I don,t need any more tinkie- tankies in my life I get a great kick out of looking at lovely stuff without having the least desire to buy it. The ultimate freedom.
Another joy in my life today was sitting watching Tangled on T.V. O.K. It is a Walt Disney animated film but I loved every minute of it. So—sue me! The animation was wonderful. All the "baddies" got their just deserts in the end & all the :goodies: got their rewards.It was Happy-Clappy Land but so enjoyable for a simple mind.
Has anyone ever counted how many trees there is in Johannesburg & suburbs? Do you know how lucky we are to have endless trees? It reminded me of that ancient old song "Trees." If I had R10,00 for every time I played that on the piano to accompany some young hopeful tenor I would be rich. I do remember & agree with the last two lines— Poems were made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.
I go back home on Sunday morning & I will be happy for ages afterwards as I am having a ball.
Cheers for now from Celtic Granny.

Crazy right!? My mother and I have determined that the mother of these children was very well-read. Wouldn't you agree?
Ah, and another interesting name from my great great great grandmother, Icefena. Pronounced ice-uh-fee-na. Her name was spelled all sorts of ways on censuses.

Thanks so much for sharing! I love hearing about interesting names. I agree that Icefena is a really cool name, I too think it looks better spelled out Isephina (and it would help with people trying to pronounce it!)

Lycurgus Luther is my favorite, although I am not positive how it is pronounced? I wonder if the 'c' is hard or soft? And if the 'g' is hard or soft? I am saying Lie-KUR-gus Luther. Pocahontas, Comparacia, Early Devotion Rose- these are fantastic. Thanks a lot for sharing. I love them.

There's something about projection innovations that gets individuals all hot and bothered. Perhaps it's the lights, projections, lasers and 3D action, or maybe it's the fact that we're all so jaded from 2D experiences that only 3D (and now 4D) experiences are the only visualizations that will generate the coveted 'wow' factor.
From projected couture campaigns to jail break projections, enjoy these projected innovations.

I love to eat and cook, I learned to cook from an early age by "helping" my mom in the kitchen anytime I could. Growing up in the south and being of Croatian descent my diet consisted of a lot of high protein meals. Unfortunately they were also a lot of battered fried foods and hight starch content. Something had to give and it happened to be my waste line. I was overweight most of my life because of the diet I was accustomed to. About four years ago I tried Atkins diet. I lost over 60 pounds in a little over a year and have kept it off. I've never felt better and my last physical concurs that I've never been healthier.I am now strictly a low carb eater and most of my recipes and food thought revolve around preparing and eating dishes that fit my eating lifestyle.
I love pretty much all seafood but especially shellfish. My favorite dish to prepare would probably be my Shrimp Scampi based on a recipe form a little Italian restaurant that used to be in San Diego called Giulios.

30 November 2007
US-based pharmaceutical company Inhibitex has set up an exclusive worldwide licence agreement for anti-Hepatitis drugs developed at Cardiff.
Inhibitex has entered the agreement with the University and Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven, Belgium for intellectual property covering a series of highly potent hepatitis C virus (HCV) polymerase inhibitors.
In vitro studies have shown that the licensed compounds are among the most potent HCV polymerase inhibitors in development. They were discovered in the laboratories of Professor Chris McGuigan, at the Welsh School of Pharmacy and Professor Johan Neyts of the Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven.
Inhibitex Chief Scientific Officer Dr Joseph M. Patti said: "This exclusive license expands our collaborative relationships with two leaders in the field of antiviral research, Cardiff University and the Rega Institute. We are very pleased with the addition of these compounds to our pipeline, which includes a number of promising infectious disease development programs with the potential to provide meaningful benefits to large patient populations."
Professor McGuigan said: "There is no current cure for Hepatitis C, and the World Health Organisation estimates some 123 million people are presently affected. This licence to Inhibitex will fund further work and trials of drugs developed here in Cardiff which look more promising than existing anti-Hepatitis drugs."
"This deal follows on from Inhibitex's recent buy-out of the Cardiff-developed anti-shingles drug FV100, which is now subject to clinical trials."
Under the terms of the agreement, Inhibitex obtained the intellectual property in exchange for an upfront licence fee, future milestone payments and royalties on future net sales.

The latest Captain America movie is polishing its shield, because its release is inbound. But before that can happen, movie goers first need a chance to experience the action firsthand in yet another Gameloft title. Most of these releases aren't anything to get excited about, but the cel-shaded graphics in this one have piqued our interest. Check them out.
When a comic book movie hits theaters, you already know a movie tie-in game is on its way. The next Captain America film is scheduled to hit the big screen in roughly two months, so Gameloft and Marvel are teasing their upcoming game with a brief. While its existence hardly qualifies as news, its attractive art style and new gameplay mechanics may be reason to take notice.
The decision to use cel-shaded graphics is a fitting one.
Alright, so Avengers Initiative wasn't the earth-shattering mobile experience that its marketing made it out to be. In fact, according to Matt Demers' review, it's an Infinity Blade ripoff that only true believers will really enjoy. But for those who finish all their comic reading on Tuesday and are looking for anything more to scratch that superhero itch for the rest of the week, there's a big update to the game.
Timed with the release of its newest blockbuster movie, Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel Entertainment is also pushing on the mobile front with the introduction of a surprisingly well done action game and, separately, a live wallpaper.
The live wallpaper, which displays the infamous unbreakable shield which deflects bullets left and right, is free in the Market (see the widget towards the bottom).
The game, naturally, features Captain America on a mission to stop Red Skull and mow down all the HYDRA soldiers in his sight along the way.

I've been in shock over the destruction in Japan and I wanted to hear something from the PM and the Emperor,below are their quotes.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan told a national television address Friday that, "We will rebuild Japan from scratch. We must all share this resolve." H.I.M. Emperor Akihito of Japan made a rare appearance on Japanese national television to share his thoughts and concerns about the aftermath of last week's 9.0 earthquake and destructive tsunami that followed. According to the BBC News: TV stations interrupted programming on Wednesday to show the emperor describing the crisis facing the nation as "unprecedented in scale". The 77-year-old �" deeply respected by many Japanese �" said: "I hope from the bottom of my heart that the people will, hand in hand, treat each other with compassion and overcome these difficult times." |

If a country can rebuild itself, it is Japan. They have done it before and will again because their people seem to think more of each other than "me" and work together. |
It's such chaos, but chaos contains the seed for something new, I'm sure it will arise Thank for the quotes, they all have been inspiring this week |
Thank you, West, for your quotes and for thinking of the poor inhabitants of Japan. It is so surreal; beyond the scope of measured calamities heaped upon a country. |
Forces beyond our comprehension happen and we lose our anchor to the reality we know. It will take a while for the world to adjust and recover. Thanks for the week of quotes. |

Big Thicket National Preserve
Trail through Big Thicket. Photo by Scott Jones/Flickr
Did You Know?
- Big Thicket is known as the "biological crossroads of North America."
- It is part of the United Nations International Biosphere Reserves.
- There are 10 distinct ecosystems in the preserve.
- Big Thicket is home to four of the five carnivorous plants found in North America.
Renowned as the "biological crossroads of North America," Big Thicket is a remarkable mix of southeastern swamps, eastern deciduous forest, central plains, pine savannas and dry sandhills. There are 10 distinct ecosystems within the nearly 106,000-acre preserve that are home to a variety of unique plants and animals. Four of the five carnivorous plants in North America can be found here, as can more than 20 types of orchids.
In addition to rare plants, nearly 186 species of birds live in or migrate through the preserve, including the bald eagle, peregrine falcon and swallow-tailed kite. Several species of snakes, including the Louisiana pine snake, and even a small population of alligators also can be found at Big Thicket.
Established by Congress in 1974, Big Thicket was the first preserve in the National Park System. It is also listed as one of the United Nations International Biosphere Reserves.
The Fund's Efforts
We have helped preserve nearly 33,000 acres at Big Thicket National Preserve. In 2010, we helped the National Park Service purchase more than 4,000 acres of former Hancock Timber land. These purchases added more than 800 acres to the Canyonlands Unit of the preserve and more than 3,600 acres along Village Creek.
The addition of 3,600 acres along Village Creek establishes a continuous conservation corridor that provides habitat for migratory waterfowl and songbirds and serves as a floodplain that will benefit the communities along Village Creek and the Neches River. Back in 2009, we helped Texas Parks and Wildlife add 1,500 acres to Village Creek State Park, which is located next to Big Thicket National Preserve's Village Creek and Neches River Corridor units.
We are also proud to have made the largest donation in Big Thicket National Preserve's history when, with our partners, we donated 6,600 acres of bottomland hardwood forest and cypress-tupelo swamp to the National Park Service in 2009.
Our work in Big Thicket is ongoing. Currently we run an ecotourism and economic development program for the region called the Pineywoods Experience and established Texas' largest wetlands mitigation bank, the Pineywoods Mitigation Bank.

"It gives us not only playing experience with each other, but also a chance to form a chemistry and figure out how our games go together,†Teague said Thursday as he prepared for Saturday's Nike Hoop Summit in Portland.. "Next season for us really starts now. We practice together twice a day, eat together, do stuff together. We are all here working hard, but we also know this is important for next season as well.
Teague watched numerous UK games this season. He paid particular attention to the way freshman point guard Brandon Knight improved under Calipari just as current NBA point guards John Wall, Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans did.
"I was hoping they would win it all, but I really enjoyed watching how Knight matured. He made better decisions, knocked down shots and just improved a lot from the start of the year until the end,†Teague said. "That is what coach Cal can do for me, too. He can get me ready to compete at a high level. He will actually get us all ready. That's why we wanted to play for him.
Teague thinks his future UK teammates all have high skills, too.
"Anthony (Davis) played well at McDonald's. He's high energy and is great on defense and finishing at the rim. He's getting so much better and has a lot of potential,†Teague said. "Mike (Gilchrist) is getting even better if that is possible. He has improved his jump shot and is tougher to guard. He could always get to the glass and score, but now he can knock down jump shots.
"Kyle (Wiltjer) won the 3-point contest at McDonald's. He can really knock down shots. I didn't see him miss many shots even in practice. That is great for me because it will open the floor for me to get to the hoop when you have a player with his size that can knock down open 3's like that.â€Â
Davis has been just as impressed.
"They all play so well. Mike is such a great finisher around the basket. Teague is very, very fast and a great passer. Kyle can really shoot, but he can play in the post, too,†Davis said. "I can't wait to get to Kentucky and spend time with and play with these guys because I know how special we can be.â€Â
Teague admits he's a bit anxious to get to UK, too.
"I am ready to get there. I wish it was coming up tomorrow and we could play right away,†he said.

My question isn't about misunderstanding the rule, but rather about understanding the point of this rule.
The rulebook clearly says that when travelling, you must first discard all the blips remaining in both blip piles, then refill both of them as instructed on the new location.
But what if we simply add or to each pile the number of blip required to have the good number of blip ?

Chocolate decorations by Barry Callebaut support Quality Partner Program: Chocolate Masters™ Goes Sustainable
Chocolate Masters™, part of the Barry Callebaut Group and known as the specialist in the production and sale of chocolate and cocoa-based decorations, now fully supports the Quality Partner Program (QPP) for its entire product portfolio.
9-month sales FY 2013/14 - Cocoa Acquisition Drives Strong Volume Expansion
Juergen Steinemann, said: "I am satisfied with our third-quarter volume growth which was driven by the acquired cocoa business, emerging markets and our Gourmet business. As we continued to focus on increasing our product margins, we concentrated on selective growth in developed markets. While the cocoa powder market remains challenging, we are very satisfied with the integration of the acquired cocoa business."
EFSA issues positive Scientific Opinion on Barry Callebaut's application for extending its health claim on cocoa flavanols: A new market beyond chocolate for cocoa flavanols and their healthy properties
Barry Callebaut received today a positive Scientific Opinion issued by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on the background data to extend their existing health claim to cocoa extract products. This positive evaluation was officially published on May 5, 2014 and bodes very well for Barry Callebaut as EFSA's expertise is usually the basis for approval by the EU Commission.

According to the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) the sport known as kiteboarding will replace windsurfing after the 2012 London summer games. This announcement has come as a surprise to those planning to compete in the 2016 Olympic Summer Games to be held in Rio de Janeiro. The vote took place during the 2012 ISAF mid-year meeting in Stresa, Italy. During this meeting the ISAF Council also confirmed the equipment to be used in the Mixed Multihull and Women's Skiff comptetitions.
An evaluation group was formed in November 2011 to look at the kiteboarding formats with the water board events for the Rio summer games in 2016 defined as 'windsurfing and/or kiteboarding'. Not only did the group recommend kiteboarding to be included in the ISAF event family, but they went a step further and selected kiteboarding to be the event in the Rio 2016 Olympic Sailing Competition.
The president of the ISAF, Göran Petersson, made the following statement:
"These announcements mark a new era for sailing and we welcome the new classes into the ISAF family. The equipment selections have fulfilled the criteria set out by the Evaluation Panel and we look forward to seeing the boats not only at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, but the ISAF Sailing World Cup and ISAF Sailing World Championships."
"Kiteboarding has proven to us that it is ready to be included into the list of prestigious ISAF Events and it is a fantastic addition to the sailing programme for the 2016 Olympic Games."
In the Rio 2016 Summer Games there will be both a men's and women's kiteboarding event, with another eight sailing events including two-person mixed multihull and a number of Dinghy events. All ten events will be featured in the 2012 – 2013 Sailing World Cup with begins in Melbourne, Australia and concludes in Santander, Spain in 2014 for the ISAF Sailing World Championships.
There are detractors to the decision, however, including Peter Conde, Yachting Australia's high performance director. As he told Reuters:
"Obviously we've got quite a few young sailors in particular who have been campaigning and building a campaign particularly with 2016 in mind and I guess we've been investing via national windsurfing programs. Clearly those sailors are pretty devastated. At least at first (glance) it looks like their dreams have been dashed by this decision.
"I guess it remains to be seen as to whether many of those athletes might want to take a fresh look and embrace kiteboarding as a new discipline. I guess we'd be encouraging them to look at it."
There has been a vow from a number of windsurfing federations to campaign the ISAF for the reinstatement of the sport, including Beijing bronze medalist Bryony Shaw.

Inspiring event held at Holy Cross Cancer Center in Santa Clarita.
Under a tent outside the Providence Holy Cross Cancer Center on McBean Parkway, about forty people gathered together to hear words of inspiration.
Scanning the crowd, it was easy to notice one hat or bandana every three or four seats, and therefore it was immediately clear that many were in the middle of what may be the most terrifying challenge of their lives; cancer.
After a blessing from Sister Lorraine, cancer center representative Lateia Taylor outlined how Holy Cross will be approaching the future of their treatment, which includes expanding programs like "Tea for the Soul" and "Art of Healing."
Next, Dr. Shamel Sanani spoke of the statistics, taken from Providence Holy Cross and compared them to national averages. When it comes to survivor rates, Holy Cross treatment centers either meet the national average or exceed them.
Dr. Nancy Ellerbroek took the time to touch upon an often understated area of care:
"The hardest job, but also the most important, is to help when things don't go perfectly, even in a minor way." She said. "Our newest endeavor will be for survivorship."
While cancer disrupts lives for treatment, it also can leave lasting marks on an individual long after they are in remission. Energy levels, bone density and blood pressure issues can stem from cancer treatment, and so Holy Cross plans on pursuing survivorship programs to help patients live well after they have beaten cancer.
To close out the program, a cancer patient named Marlene Andreoni gave a rousing speech about her journey, currently undergoing treatment at Holy Cross for stage 2 breast cancer.
"Cancer is the great equalizer," she said, noting that it doesn't have any concern for race, social status or gender. However, when a patient is first diagnosed with cancer, their instincts may ask "why me?" Andreoni spoke of how she grew to say "Why not me?" In that, she said the takes control of her fight.
This was the third Celebration of Life held by the Providence Holy Cross Cancer Center in Santa Clarita, and the events are geared towards bringing cancer patients, survivors and family members together to hear from doctors and patients just like them. In this particular setting, the encouragement and inspiration goes a long way for someone locked in the battle of a lifetime.

Blackmailed by mate's mum I got pregnant
MY BEST mate's mum has threatened to tell everyone she's having my baby unless I agree to move away with her and start a new life together.
I am 24, she's 49 and we've been having sex for the past year. It all started out as a bit of drunken fun one night when we shared a taxi home from a night-club. She was going through a divorce and said I was the only person who had ever really listened to how she was feeling.

Conclusive? Nope, but getting there
Of the two solutions, the cheapest way to be part of the new wave of Digital Home solutions is to join the AMD Live! scheme, however, if you are looking at upgrading everything you have, but don't want the fuss of a DIY approach, it may be worth considering Intel Viiv because it's just easier to buy a whole complete system already made and set-up which you can just plug in and it works.
The other way is similar except that you would have to shop around for various pieces to put the puzzle together in the way that you desire.
No matter who you prefer (AMD or Intel), or how you plan to approach your Digital Home environment, the trend is clear - A wireless home network, connected into a wider network where multimedia can be selected at the user's discretion through the interface of their choice and streamed discretely throughout the home to several multimedia outlets such as TV's, PC's and music centers.
Not only is your neighborhood going to get noisier, but the combined effects of all these Wi-Fi and Wi-Max waves is going to titillate cancer researchers for years to come. This type of digital home environment has been talked about for years but now everything is starting to really happen.
The definition of Digital Home?
A home environment with a high performance multimedia PC set up as a hub for networking several digital streams of internet related or other multimedia seamlessly throughout the home, tying in with all your modern day appliances and multimedia peripherals.

Hello all! I am brand new to this forum and the embroidery world. I am looking for advice on purchasing a new machine and digitizing software. I have been looking at various embroidery machines, including the Viking Designer 1, Babylock Ellageo 3 (maybe mispelled), and the Brother ULT2002 and ULT2003 on ebay, however, I am wanting a machine that I can use to embroider on hats/caps. I ask for any advice you have on what machine to purchase (looking at the $1500-$3000 price range) and if Generations is a valuable software device. Please keep in mind that I am wanting to create my own designs such as scanning them in. Please help me out and give me your honest opinions. Thanks so much. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I cant help you with the higher priced machines. I have a viking rose and I love it...the only drawback is the smaller (4x4) embroidery area. As for working with hats...I've never heard or seen any home embroidery machine that is more than moderately successful with hats. I have worked with Generations but honestly I find Embird and its downloads for digitizing/converting/resizing/etc...easy and less expensive. I have worked with husqvarna's digitizing but on ALL digitizing programs the learning curve is pretty steep. I hope this helps...If you'd like to talk further firstname.lastname@example.com |
I have a Viking Designer 1. I love it! The only thing better is the new Viking Designer SE. Since the new SE came out, you can find good deals on the D 1. I've had my machine for three years and embroider Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, etc. I currently ahve the Viking Professional Plus software package, and am looking forward to getting their new 3D Professional package. I also lust after the Generations embroidery software. A friend of mine who has an embroidery business recently pruchased it and has been very pleased. If you have been using computers for years, you can very easily learn the more basic parts of the software programs; i.e., adding text, some editing. Digitizing is a bit more difficult and the learning curve can be pretty steep. However, if you purchase the Viking products from a Viking Sewing Gallery (which is a corporate-owned store and generally located inside a craft store like JoAnn's), you will get lifetime classes on how to use the software. Both the 3D Professional package and the Generations package are expensive - in the $1500 range, but yuo get what you pay for. Viking has a hat insert that fits into the 240x150 hoop. I received it as a Christmas gift, but I haven't used it yet. A caveat about purchasing a machine on e-bay. Many times the warranty isn't transferable. Also, ask the seller to provide you with their purchase receipt and warranty form (even if it's not transferable). If Viking machine is later taken in to a Viking authorized repair service for repair and discoverd to be stolen, iIt is confiscated and returned to Viking. That said, e-bay helped me sell my Bernina, but I provided all paperwork to the buyer and she has been very satisified. |
