This statement obviously can be said for heroes (seemingly adding more without real balance changes to the heroes that cause people such anguish can be argued ad nauseum and most likely has been), but in this regard I'm talking about the community. Yes, I know this is the internet. Yes I know how people act on it. Yes I know more people can mean more money for you guys, but you need to understand what is really going to draw in more people and that's the reputation. You guys do make a good fun game that's free and I'm sure we all appreciate it, but we really need some more work done on the community of this game. I'm sure you can look around and find it anywhere here. I'm talking about the jackasses. In game and out the jackasses are easily the worst aspect of any gaming community. Yes, they are all around, yes they are ultimately inevitable in any community, especially as it gets larger, but I would call for stricter penalties on the *******s. Now look at all your games you've played, think back to how many times you're enjoying the game only for one or two of the people on your team or the other to just outright mock or brag about this and that. It's not beneficial to anyone except maybe themselves and even then it just makes them undesirable to everyone around. Someone who is making fun of someone's mom, weight, looks, social status, income level, whatever else is just tiresome and immature. Who cares if they aren't doing great that game? You think you're perfect every game? I call bull**** if you think so. I'm tired of just sitting quietly in games as jerks like this constantly harp on others and if you do stand up for them they harp on you and no one seems to really tell them to stfu too. So ya, I'm calling for Riot to get far harsher on the *******s. On those who just mock someone in game or in the community. That anyone who is found out right mocking someone or just bragging about how much they kick your ass or whatever else that these people be out right banned from the game. Sure they can create smurfs or whatnot, but let them waste their time. They'll just get banned again and eventually quit. I'm calling for an increase in the standards the community is expected of them. I'm not asking for much, just asking that players at least understand not everyone is always going to be at their best. Yes I am one who would like to see the nubs/newbs not in their game, that's why I ask for a better match making system and not say ban then. But I can deal with bad players, it sucks, but I can accept that, but *******s? I can't accept *******s. I can't accept people mocking others over an insignificant game. All it shows is how pathetic you are and how sad your life must be. So seriously, Riot, I'm asking for harsher punishments on those who are ruining people's games by being *******s. Yes, I can normally deal with them, but when it's become as frequent as I've seen lately, it's getting to be a real problem. Literally every game seems to have an ******* who thinks they are "the ****" or who can't help but be an ******* to one or more people in the game. Thanks for your time, hope you'll crack down on this problem. I'd like to see the quality improve over the quantity of players and their attitude. Edit: sorry for this thread if it was already made below, there were errors with the forum.
oye, forums seem to have a lot of errors >.>
lol someone rated me down because I expect people to not be *******s? Clearly must be one of the *******s who doesn't want to get banned for being an *******. Well stop being one then.
I completely agree. I don't understand how people find it the slightest bit entertaining of fun to just abuse people for no reason. It's really not that hard to keep things to yourself and it's just common courtesy to let things go. I mean I get frustrated a lot in this game when my team doesn't do things they are meant to, or if I make stupid mistakes, or if the enemy is just being ******bags. I may get pissed off and sometimes yell a little but is it at all necessary to actually put it into your chat?
I don't know what's with them, it's just stupid. I really hope Riot will get harsher on them. I'd rather have fewer people, but better quality people than more people and dealing with basically the X-Box live community or that type of community.

Secrets of Success
Not weighing in every week has been a mistake

Tuesday, July 02, 2013
I didn't weigh myself for 2 weeks. In those 2 weeks I started out positive, watching what I ate, and began simple exercising. Well...... that didn't last long. If I had weighed myself after the 1st week, I may have thwarted the mindless eating that happened the 2nd week.
Okay, I realize this. I weighed in Sunday, and was about the same as I was 2 weeks ago. I know if I had weighed a week ago the numbers might have been better. Why do I sabotage myself like this? I wonder, should I concentrate more on the healthy eating at first? Add exercise after a week or 2 to give myself a chance to get the eating under control 1st? I don't know..... Maybe not. Exercise helps in more ways that just expending calories. It is also a stress reliever. I think I just answered my own question.

i try to make sure i only weigh in 1 time a week so i dont get overly stressed. if i miss a week then i lose my motivation and focus.

I know how difficult it is. Especially when we are "set in our ways" of eating. I heard a fitness trainer recently say just drop your calories by 200 daily and you can see major weight loss within a year. It also still helps to exercise but find something that you enjoy doing. You are more likely to keep exercising if it is fun.

I should probably weigh myself less than I do :) I do find that I do my best when I'm tracking things here. If I eat within my calorie range and reach my exercise goals, I shrink. I refuse to talk about the scale right now because it isn't going down, but my size is and I know the scale will.
I think you answered your own question, but if you're not tracking your food here that may help more than the scale. Especially if the scale doesn't move and you think it should. Not that I'm bitter or anything...

Awareness is a major part of any discipline!

A few years back I took an exercise class and one of the challenges we faced was holding a perfect plank for 15 seconds. I'd always scoot my butt up in the air so I wouldn't collapse on the mat. The instructor leaned over to me one morning and whispered: "The only person you are cheating John is yourself." I've never quite forgotten those words.
I to, skip weigh ins, especially when I KNOW the outcome wont be a positive one. For me, its being consistent and facing the music, whether its a happy dance or a funeral dirge
Much Love

You did answer your own question - maybe you could think of a way to focus on one thing in each area. I am with you about the EXTRA benefits of exercise - for me it helps me sleep, relaxes me, de-stresses me, gives me a place to socialize, and provides me with exercise PLUS it is FUN.
Try to pick one or two things you might like to do to improve your eating and PLAN for them. Put a bowl of fresh fruit on the counter or table to tempt you to take a piece instead of something less healthy. Keep healthy snacks in single portion packs (make your own - simple take the big bag and portion it out when you get home with it) - even if you end up getting a second bag, it is ONLY 2 portions and not the entire bag. Add a salad or soup before your meal (about 20-30 minutes) to fill you up faster, keep you full longer and research shows that on average, people eat as much as 1/3 FEWER calories when they do that.

Your free flow of thought is enlightening to us all. I like to weigh in most days. I understand that I am not defined by the scale and that fluctuations in fluid affect the number on such a frequent basis. However, I also like data. I enter my values on a spreadsheet that plots to a graph and like to look over time for trends in the way I "release" weight. I have discovered so many non scale measures in my journey, but I do like the accountability the scale provides. I guess we all have to find the right mix of information to aid us along the way. Best to you on your journey!

Yep, you answered your own question! See, YOU KNOW what you should be doing. Just take one step in the right direction every, meal, every day!
As soon as you wake up start to stretch, yes, in bed! Then, stretch when you're walking to the bathroom.
Drink a glass of water..yes, before breakfast.
Then be aware of what you are eating..and drink water in between meals. Plan 10 minutes of exercise into your morning..and afternoon...and then in the evening.
And pick a day to weigh yourself.
Just do it all in small easy steps.
You Know what to do, You've got this!!

As much as we don't like to admit it, that scale and a weekly weigh-in are vital parts of a successful weight loss program.

Great job on starting the exercise and healthy eating! Thinking about being healthy and taking the plunge is the first step. Now you are trying to find out the way that works best for you. There are a lot of suggestions out there for sure. It might be best to start with something that you know that you can achieve and then build on that. This might mean starting with 3-4 goals or starting with one until you have it down and then slowly adding others. Good luck and don't get discouraged! We are rooting for you!

UC Davis has been fully accredited since 1954 by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), our regional accreditation agency. We are accredited through June 2024.
Campus accreditation was reaffirmed in July 2014 following a multi-year, self-study process that formally engaged the campus in institution-wide reflection on capacity and educational effectiveness. Being accredited means the campus has met rigorous standards for quality, capacity and effectiveness. Accreditation confers a variety of benefits, especially access to federal financial aid resources.
Interim Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, Carolyn de la Peña, serves as the Accreditation Liaison Officer (ALO) between UC Davis and the WASC Senior Commission. She is responsible for assuring that UC Davis is committed to honest and open communication with the Commission, to undertaking the accreditation review process with seriousness and candor, and to abiding by Commission policies and procedures, including all substantive change policies.

Spice up your March Madness party with the perfect recipe for basketball fans to whip up while you're cheering on your favorite teams and checking on your brackets. Provided by Colman's Mustard,Maurice's Spicy Chicken Wings make the ideal addition to any viewing party.
By adding the secret ingredient (Colman's Dry Mustard Powder) into the mix, the product's invigorating blend of high-quality brown and white mustard seeds gives the wings a unique, zesty kick. Colman's trademark smoldering heat has been a culinary staple for nearly 200 years and will be sure to leave your guests hoping for overtime.
40 chicken wings
3/4 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup honey
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons Colman's Dry Mustard Powder
Put the chicken wings in a large self-sealing plastic bag. Mix the soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, and dry mustard in a bowl, then pour it into the bag. Close the bag securely and shake until all the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate the chicken wings, in the bag with the marinade, for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place a rack on top of the foil. Remove the chicken wings from the bag and place them in one layer on the rack. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken wings are crisp and golden.
Serving Size: 10 servings (4 wings each)
Heat Scale: Medium

I live in a forest type setting and have a lot of trees (tall oak) and with the trees .. I have lots of shade. I have always had a difficult time in getting grass to grow because the trees suck up all of the water and shade out the grass. I have tried every grass type known to man and 'even' when I get growth .. it (the grass) dies away pretty quickly. Here is where I need some help .. My back yard, which has the majority of trees and shade has what looks like patches of grass .. grass that gets zero water (except rain) and almost zero shade! The thing is, this grass grows very heartily without any help from me or without sun and shade!? It looks like there may be two different types and I am posting pictures of both (two each) in the hope that someone can confirm that this is grass and what type(s) they are? Thanks Everyone |

My guess is its some kind of carex which will grow in shade. There are usually local types growing wild in every state. I found some native type of a light green carex in an area that was being cleared to make way for a gated community and dug a few up to rescue. Also, there were lots of clumps of a very thick, tussock like grass which was deep green that formed big clumps and it was attractive, some clumps were quite massive. I dug about three smaller ones. I don't know what kind of carex I got but I finally ID'd the deep green tussock type grass and its Western Wheatgrass (Pascopyrum smithii) so you might want to try it, you can buy seed online. It will easily take dry full shade and its a good spreader, extremely drought hardy, easy to move and bullet proof. In the same area I also found some tiny wild juncus, very cute clumps with hairlike stiff stems & tiny brown seeds on top, they are about 4" tall and multiplying here now in a little miniature group. I looked further into rushes because some will take shade and am thinking of ordering some Juncus inflexus for a part shady area. I've had luck with blue fescue too, it resents summer moisture and the spot I am growing it is full sun in winter, spring and fall, shade in summer. I am going to plant more of it from seed I collected off my plants. |

Thank You TexasRanger10 for your response. I don't know why it is so hard to get responses on this forum but it is. I am now going to do some research on carex which I have never heard of before! Someone told me that one of my pictures was of nutgrass? Again .. Thank You ! |
- Posted by TexasRanger10 7 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 19, 14 at 22:45
Yea, the forum has been pretty dead lately. It doesn't look like nutgrass to me. Nutgrass is stiffer and very shiny, it comes up like a prong with the blades coming out the center and it blooms prolifically + its ugly. The native carex I found looks a lot like what you have in the picture, I haven't seen any sort of blooms on them. I'm in Oklahoma zone 7 so it might be the same kind. I'm totally guessing but it might be Pennsylvania Sedge (Carex pennsylvania) which is fairly common but I'm not too familiar with sedges and I find the green ones hard to ID. Some of sedges like moist soil but others will tolerate dry shade. Check out Santa Rosa Gardens online, they sell a lot of varieties. In Oklahoma I noticed they seem to grow more commonly along the roadsides on the eastern side of the state where there is more rain, here in central Okla we see more prairie grass. |
Yellow Nutsedge is easy to ID when it blooms. Nothing else looks like it. You can also easily ID it before the bloom, by looking at the stem. Nutsedge has a triangular (cross section) stem. |

Cedar sedge ( Carex planostachys Kunze) grows in shade under oaks and cedars here in Texas 8B. Muhlenbergia lindheimeri grows in shade in its natural habit , also in sun. Its habit is much floppier and wispier. It never gets irrigation here. ON a hill with oaks and cedars near by. I don't chime in much because many of the grasses mentioned will not grow in my unirrigated area of super alkaline Texas. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cedar sedge

Ran into this article when I continued googling . It had some nice info that might be useful. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Native sedges fit for gardening
Why would you want to? Wouldn't it be better to just plant ferns or clover under the trees? |
- Posted by wantonamara 8bCenTx (My Page) on Wed, Sep 10, 14 at 12:08
There are many types of grasses that grow in shade and are a great counter point to ferns , mosses and clover. Especially where their are issues about dryness. |

Published reports say the big tablet can call up a real battlefield scenario. Assorted red icons on the screen represent the user's military assets, such as aircraft and soldiers. Another group of blue icons shows the enemy. When a red diamond representing enemy action appears on the screen, an officer can drag one of his blue icons over it, responding to that action.
So what looks like a move in a video game is in fact the depiction of a drone aircraft (in blue) being directed to an enemy position (the red diamond). In real life, the tablets could give real orders to troops on the ground. The tablet would be more expensive than smaller, commercial tablets the military is already experimenting with.
The AAI director estimated that the hardware component of each tablet cost "a couple of thousand" but alluded to the notion that it's the software within that jacks up the price. "It's the software that makes it sing and dance," he said.
The new tablet merges disparate military software programs, a report stated. "We took a whole array of platforms, payloads, sensors, and weapon systems and ported them into this battlefield awareness tool," Swift explained.
"The Army has real issues and is looking for scalable solutions," he added. Every private company [that works for the Army] brings their own laptops. We took the data feeds from all those companies to create one interface. Removing equipment and lightening their load will be a plus."
Recently, the prototype was on display at a replica Tactical Operations Center on the floor of the Association of the United States Army convention in Washington. "We were like the hit of the show," he said.
The next step in the road toward actual production comes in November when the company hears whether the technology will be included in a military exercise next year. "We're very optimistic" about that, Swift said.

Brad Stevens has reached a low point in his second season as Celtics head coach.
Brad Stevens has reached a low point in his second season as Celtics head coach.
Stevens sounded an ominous signal Monday following a 104-95 lifeless loss to the lowly Charlotte Hornets on "Seats for Soldiers" night at TD Garden.
His team started slow out of the gate and really never recovered, trailing 22-11 late in the first quarter and 50-36 at the half.
"First of all, they played at a great pace, and they made shots and Kemba (Walker) was great," Stevens said. "We couldn't stop him. Cody Zeller was playing at a higher energy-level than anybody else on the floor a lot of the game, and you know (Gerald) Henderson has always really given us fits. I thought all three of those guys looked like they were at a different level early. And we weren't very good."
It got so bad that Stevens ran through his entire 13-man roster by the end of the third quarter. What was he hoping to accomplish?
"No idea. I think tonight was more of an anomaly because I was throwing darts. I can act like I know the answer to your question but I was throwing darts," Stevens said.
Asked a question about the breakout game for James Young and whether it might mean more playing time for the rookie, Stevens instead took the opportunity to do a little soul searching.
"I don't know," Stevens said. "I don't know. I've got to figure out how to coach this team better. I'm not doing a very good job. We're not playing well and we're playing almost ' it's not good basketball. We've got to do a better job playing good basketball. I'll figure out the rotations later, once we start playing good basketball and once we all are very focused on very good basketball. And that's on me. I've got to do a better job."
Stevens then channeled his inner Bill Belichick when asked why other players besides Jared Sullinger couldn't find offensive rhythm.
"I don't know," Stevens said. "Again, I've got to figure out a way to get those guys to play, and it's ' that's on me. We weren't very organized offensively, we weren't very good defensively, we got torched by one guy ' pretty bad coaching."
From an inspired effort at times against Rajon Rondo and the Mavericks Friday to a gutty effort in a road loss to the Bulls Saturday, the Celtics have shown consistent inconsistency. Then they laid an egg against an 11-24 team Monday night before their home fans. Right now, Stevens doesn't know what to expect from night to night.
"We've got to get to the point where we know, we've got to know it every day. We've got to play the right way every day. And, you know that was really disappointing. That was a disappointing effort all around."
Fresh off of an overtime loss in Chicago, the Celtics returned home on Monday to face the underachieving Hornets at TD Garden.
Fresh off of an overtime loss in Chicago, the Celtics returned home on Monday to face the underachieving Hornets at the TD Garden. Part of the problem for Charlotte has been injuries, as they were without both Lance Stephenson and former Celtic Al Jefferson for this contest.
Jefferson played a huge role in the Hornets' 96-87 victory over the C's on Dec 10 in Charlotte, finishing with 23 points and 14 rebounds. Boston was out for revenge this time around, however, they didn't find it on Monday.
Kemba Walker was dominant for the Hornets in their 104-95 win over the Celtics, seemingly finding a bucket every time the Celtics started to claw back. Walker finished with 33 points to go with five boards and five helpers. Click here for the full box score.
Here's five things we learned in the loss:
On a 19-degree Boston eve, the home team may have brought some of that weather inside. The Celtics began the season by customarily getting off to hot starts at home (and then letting their leads slip away late). Recently it's been a different story.
The Celts were able to manage just 16 points in the first quarter on a mere 7-of-23 shooting. Things improved slightly in the second quarter, but for the most part it was more of the same for Boston. The C's headed into the locker room with just 36 points while going 14-for-43 from the field (32.6%). The Celtics were also out-rebounded 30-18 in the half, contributing to the deficit.
The Celtics got it together in the second half, but the youngsters were at the head of the charge this time around. Rookies Marcus Smart (nine points and four assists) and James Young (we'll get to him later) each had big games along with newcomer Jae Crowder (13 points and five rebounds) to help pull the team within six points late in the fourth, 88-82, after being down as many as 22 points. But the C's fell short as Walker and the Hornets proved to be too much to handle late. Jared Sullinger also scored 14 points in the second half, he finished with 22 points, eight rebounds and four blocks.
After going back-and-forth between playing big minutes for the Maine Red Claws of the NBA D-League and riding the bench for the Celtics, 19-year-old rookie James Young played when in mattered for the first time in weeks. Young came in to play the last three minutes of the first half, but didn't come in gunning like he has done so far in his career.
That all changed in the second half. Young scored 13 points in 13 minutes on 5-for-6 shooting in the second half alone (including 3-for-4 from downtown), nearly leading the Celtics to a comeback victory. It's just one game, but Young was masterful on offense, and even played aggressive on the defensive side of the ball. Young is definitely a player to watch going forward as this performance may have carved him out a spot in Brad Stevens' wild rotation going forward. Speaking of which …
Ever since the Rajon Rondo trade Stevens has been tinkering around with all kinds of rotations. In the last two games this meant playing 11 different players double digit minutes. On Monday it meant playing all 13 of his available players (Marcus Thornton and Jameer Nelson sat with injuries) during meaningful action.
You know about Young already, but Gerald Wallace saw minutes in the second half, and rather than filling in for Nelson by letting players in the rotation play more, Phil Pressey stepped in to take Nelson's role. Playing 13 players before a game even turns into a blowout says a lot about a rotation, mostly negative things. Eventually, Stevens is going to have to pick a direction with this team and establish a rotation that allows his players to find more of a rhythm.
Tyler Zeller's younger brother, Cody, has owned his big brother so far in his career. Not necessarily in the individual matchups, but Cody's team has won all five games in which the brothers have faced off. Cody clearly had the better game in this matchup finishing with 20 points and seven rebounds to Tyler's two point and two rebound effort. More importantly for Cody, his team is now 6-0 against Tyler's teams when they have faced off in the NBA.
Another good effort, another road loss for the Celtics.
Pau Gasol had 29 points, 16 rebounds and five blocked shots, and the Bulls beat the Boston Celtics 109-104 in overtime on Saturday night in Chicago.
"The last couple years, I had issues with my knees. I couldn't really jump as much as I'm jumping now," said Gasol, who was coming off a career best nine blocks in Chicago's previous game. "Not that I'm jumping super high, maybe an inch more."
Evan Turner scored 24 of his 29 points after halftime, but Boston dropped to 2-6 since trading Rajon Rondo to Dallas on Dec. 18. Avery Bradley had 17 points for the Celtics (11-20). Jared Sullinger added 16 points in Boston's fourth consecutive road loss.
Aaron Brooks added 19 points for the Bulls (24-10), who won for the ninth time in 10 games. Taj Gibson and Derrick Rose had 12 points apiece.
"They do what they need to do to win, obviously, even when they're not playing well," Turner said.
Saturday was Boston's first game since the Rajon Rondo return with the Mavericks on Friday in Boston, a 119-101 loss to Dallas. The Celtics did not show serious hangover effects and played hard against a Bulls team missing starters Jimmy Butler (bereavement leave) and Mike Dunleavy (right ankle).
Rookie Nikola Mirotic scored 10 points in his first start, and Kirk Hinrich replaced Butler for the Bulls' ninth different starting lineup of the season.
Rose stole the ball and passed to Joakim Noah, who found Gasol for a layup for a 103-99 lead with 2:21 left in overtime. Two Gasol free throws and a Rose layup extended the lead to 107-103 with 24.8 seconds left. The Bulls then held on despite going 2 for 4 at the line in the final eight seconds.
The Bulls shot 37 percent from the field and committed 18 turnovers. The Celtics shot 45 percent and turned the ball over 22 times.
A Gasol jumper and free throw gave the Bulls a 98-95 lead with 1:13 left in regulation. Green made two free throws to cut the lead to one. Gibson was fouled with 22.7 seconds left and made one of two free throws, and Sullinger scored on a putback with 2.6 seconds left to tie it at 99.
Friday was a unique game for the Celtics in the sense that they were playing against Rajon Rondo, not just in his return to Boston, but just two weeks after being teammates with him. Rondo got the best of his former team, scoring 29 points in a Mavericks' 119-101 victory.
Rondo, who shot 12-for-19 from the field, scored 15 first-quarter points on perfect six-for-six shooting. It seemed like the Celtics game plan was to allow Rondo to shoot, which obviously backfired.
"We pretty much baited him to shoot and wanted him to shoot and he was knocking them down tonight," Jared Sullinger said.
"He was being aggressive just like anyone would do, just like players on our team," added Avery Bradley. "Just like we do every single night we take what the defense gives us and that's what Rajon did. He was able to knock down shots."
Bradley, like Rondo did in the first quarter, put his team on his back in the fourth quarter. The Celtics started down 28 before Bradley scored 17 in the final quarter as the Celtics cut the deficit to 10, 97-87, before running out of gas down the stretch.
"I think it's just confidence, it's the same with me and I'm pretty sure I can speak for him," Bradley said. "If you have confidence out there in the game, anything is possible. He had confidence in his shot and he was making them."
Did Rondo say anything to Bradley while the two were covering each other?
"No he didn't, we were just out there competing," Bradley said. "He played well. Their whole team did."
Bradley, like everyone else except Rondo, did take a good look at the tribute video after the first quarter.
"I watched it, there were a lot of good memories," Bradley said. "Rondo had an amazing career here. I'm happy for him and his future, it was just unfortunate that we didn't come out on top."
"We had a lot of defensive break downs. We've been saying it all year, our defense has to get better and we didn't play very good team defense at all."
When Rajon Rondo was traded to Dallas in December, it left a void of leadership to a degree. Some may argue just what kind of leader the temperamental point guard was but he was the captain of the Celtics.
When Rajon Rondo was traded to Dallas in December, it left a void of leadership to a degree. Some may argue just what kind of leader the temperamental point guard was but he was the captain of the Celtics.
So after Friday night's 119-101 win over the Celtics, Rondo offered some advice for the likes of Marcus Smart and Kelly Olynyk, who are left to look up to Jeff Green, Avery Bradley and Gerald Wallace.
"Their future's bright. They're a very young team and a lot of hard-working guys over there," Rondo said. "You know, stick with Avery, listen to Gerald, listen to Coach Stevens. You know, he's very positive. And he expects a lot out of the guys but he's the right coach for these young guys."
With Friday out of the way, Rondo will be solely focused on getting back to the NBA finals, a place he hasn't been since losing Game 7 to the Lakers in 2010. He did get to a Game 7 of the Eastern finals in 2012 but fell in Miami.
"I just want to win," Rondo said. "I just want to win a championship. I've got to get to that feeling again and we have a great, talented group of guys in Dallas that I think we can do it, maybe one piece away. Our defensive rebounding, rebound entirely has to get better as a team, and coach Carlisle made an emphasis of rebounding the basketball and we did a pretty good job."
Rondo has been known to play at his best with a chip on his shoulder. Is he playing with a bigger chip on his shoulder than in 2010?
"I wouldn't say that," he replied. "I'm very blessed to be playing basketball again. I took a long time off for my ACL injury and I think I took basketball for granted up to a certain point; being able to go out there every night and do what I love to do. So I don't know if I was able to show it as much here while I was a Celtic, but now, I say I'm still just very humbled and blessed to be playing basketball. Something I love to do every night. So I don't take it for granted, and this is how I play the game now."
Rondo scored 29 points Friday, the most since he scored 30 against the Bulls just over a week before tearing his ACL in Atlanta in Jan. 2013.
And Rondo, who had six rebounds himself in the win, pointed to old Pat Riley credo about rebounding and rings. He pointed to the 52-38 advantage on the boards as a big reason the Mavericks were able to hold off the Celtics down the stretch.
"You know, rebounding wins championships and that's what we're trying to get better at: rebounding the ball," Rondo said.
If someone told him in his rookie year that he'd return to the Garden and get a video tribute like Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett did, what would he have said?
"Sounds about right," Rondo smirked. "I mean, those are my vets. They showed me how to work and I was surrounded by great talent in my early years of my career. Played for a great coach, Doc Rivers. And I put the work in, I worked extremely hard, and obviously playing with guys like that you're very humbled to be a part of that, and I won a championship, couple All-Stars, and I played as hard as I can for the Celtics and I enjoyed every moment while I was here. Even this year, you know early I was taking the train so I embraced the city and was probably the best times of my career, this far."
Friday was a great moment for Rondo but now it's all about looking forward.
"It's in the back of my mind," Rondo said of the first-half tribute. "I don't forget too much. But it's a big win more me emotionally; a big win for our team, to start our road trip off. And we're on to Cleveland."
And the ovation from the fans?
"I mean, it's what I expected," he said. "Nothing less than what I was expecting. It's a class organization, classy fans, and a lot of respect for me and vice versa. So I didn't expect anything less and that's just what it is."

The 5 Styles Of Dating
If you have children, they might be hoping to get access to your children to abuse them physically or sexually. They might want to hurt you physically or sexually or emotionally. That might be what they need to feel good about themselves.
Think about these different kinds of people/daters as you go out into the dating world. And remember that not all of them will be honest with you about what their real goals and intentions are.
Think about what your goals are. Honestly.
Take time to get to know people before you get sexual and serious.
Be very clear with people you date about what your goals are. They won't always listen or hear you so say it more than once.
Listen to what they say and listen to what they do. Ask them what they mean. Ask them more than once.

The star of the holiday table is also the butt of many holiday horror stories.
We cut into it and it was frozen in the middle.
There was still blood in the turkey. So I think we commenced eating the chittlings.
It's no laughing matter. The USDA says 76 million Americans get sick from infected foods each year. 5,000 of them die. USDA tests have shown that some turkeys carry Salmonella, a dangerous food-poisoning germ, and other bacteria.
So you need to be especially careful that you cook it to a proper temperature and that when you're finished eating it, you put it away within two hours of the meal.
Cook your bird at 325 degrees with a thermometer inserted into the deepest part of the thigh. When it reads 165 degrees, your turkey is done. But there are other safety tips to consider.
Whether you buy a fresh or a frozen turkey, the most important thing is that you put it on a tray on the bottom shefl in the refrigerator. This way any juices that accumulate will stay on the tray and won't contaminate other foods. And if you buy a frozen turkey, the most important thing to remember is it takes about a day for every 4-5 pounds to defrost.
The safest approach for a faster thaw is to use cold water that is changed every 30 minutes. Wow, that means standing over a sink for 8 hours to thaw a 16 pound turkey! Can't we speed things up by using hot or warm water?
You've got to keep that water cold in order not to allow bacteria to grow and proliferate in the bird that's trying to be thawed.
More tips—Buy your turkey last and immediately put it in a fridge set to less than 40 degrees. Prepare your turkey in a sink and use hot, soapy water to scrub anything that comes in contact with it, including, of course, your hands. And don't forget, it's safest to cook your stuffing separately. The turkey's done, the stuffing's done, and all is well in the world of safe holiday feasting. Or is it?
The golden rule for leftovers—think two hours, two inches. Put all the food away within two hours. Use two inch deep containers to store the food. It'll cool it quickly and keep it safe.
Wishing you a safe and happy holidays, I'm Sandee LaMotte.
Count calories, track workouts, and maybe even drop a size or two.
Take the vitamin and supplement evaluator.

- OR - Select an option belowCarmine's on Penn has held down its corner of Pennsylvania and Bayaud since 1994. When the restaurant opened, it was intended as a place where big groups could converge and enjoy themselves without thinking too much about what they were eating -- ordering big platters of Italian food served family-style. Parties still come for that experience, filling the bar, the dining room, and a patio that's sealed against the elements by heavy canvas. And quantity continues to rule over quality: The kitchen remains devoted to the idea of putting out a roster of enormous dishes, cooking up red-sauce Italian classics and such accoutrements as minestrone. Be careful when you order: The portions are so large that it's easy to overload on this food, and many of the recommended dishes do not come cheap.

The current system isn't broken. Measure L is just better. San Francisco, San Diego and other major California cities have changed to the form of government Measure L proposes. Why? Because it works!
Say Yes to smarter, more accountable, transparent government. Vote Yes on Measure L.
Currently, Sacramento's chief executive is a City Manager not elected by voters, despite making critical decisions about taxpayer dollars and how the City is run. Measure L makes the chief executive an elected position, the Mayor, directly accountable to you and your neighbors for providing superior police and fire protection, budgeting decisions, park maintenance, street repairs, and other essential services.
Measure L establishes new checks and balances on elected officials, including term limits for the Mayor, an Independent Budget Analyst, City Council approval of budget and hiring of City Manager, City Council override of Mayoral vetoes, and a new Advisory Council focused on protecting and strengthening neighborhoods.
Measure L mandates a new Code of Ethics, Open Government Ordinance and Ethics Committee to ensure City officials uphold high ethical standards and avoid waste, fraud and abuse.
Measure L ends the practice of politicians picking their voters through redistricting. Instead, an Independent Commission will determine Council district boundaries in the best interests of the public, not the politicians.

Movoto's Ten Happiest Mid-Sized U.S. Cities -- and the Colorado City That's Not Boulder on It
On numerous occasions, Boulder has been named the happiest city in America. So naturally we assumed Boulder would top Movoto's list of happiest mid-sized cities -- a category for which Boulder qualifies. But no: While one Colorado place made the cut, it's not called Boulder.Photos and more below.
Which community from this fair state finished near the top? Count down the top ten below, complete with photos and excerpts from Movoto text, followed by an explanation about methodology.
See also: Photos: Top Ten U.S. Cities for Douchebags -- Including Two in Colorado
Number 10: McKinney, Texas
We [begin] our tour of America's happiest mid-sized cities in the Lone Star State, where smiles certainly aren't an endangered species -- especially not in McKinney. Maybe it has something to do with all that wedded bliss in the air? That wouldn't be surprising considering more people in McKinney are married than in any other place on our top 10 list: 63 percent, resulting in an eighth place overall rank for marriage....Number 9: Thousand Oaks, California
Thousand Oaks was also named one of our safest mid-sized cities recently, but that's not the only reason its residents are smiling. In addition to that distinction, which earned it an eighth-place finish on this list in terms of safety, it also placed sixth overall for income (with 9 percent of households making under $25,000 a year) and ninth overall for home ownership (more than 70 percent of its houses are owner-occupied).....Continue to keep counting down the ten happiest mid-sized U.S. cities according to Movoto.

In brief:
The Pens are still trying to re-sign Mark Recchi and Gary Roberts.
They will NOT be re-signing Nils Ekman, Ronald Petrovicky, Eric Cairns or Joel Kwiatkowski.
The Penguins seem to have some interest in retaining goalie Jocelyn Thibault and defensemen Rob Scuderi, Alain Nasreddine and Josef Melichar.
They are still pursuing, at minimum, one defensive defensemen, possibly two, and a top six winger.

Verdun, Treaty of
(843) Treaty partitioning the Carolingian empire among the three surviving sons of Louis I (the Pious). It marked a first stage in the dissolution of Charlemagne's empire and a step toward the formation of the modern countries of western Europe. The treaty was signed following three years of civil war between the three brothers. Lothar I received the imperial title and Francia Media, which included much of Italy as well as parts of several other present-day European countries. Louis the German received Francia Orientalis, the land east of the Rhine River, and Charles II (the Bald) received Francia Occidentalis, the remainder of modern France.

But not until the water gets a bit warmer! During a wander across Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, we took back roads and crossed the island from coast to coast, through roads "less traveled", and came across this campground at Lizard Lake, about 25 km. from Port Renfrew on the Pacific Ocean shore. The picnic tables were all ready, so was the dock, but no people. An isolated but peaceful and pristine wilderness hideaway.

Hi Ann, good to know we've been to the same place..it was a nice day, but cold. Weather has been very unsettled this spring. I hope you saw the huge Sitka Spruce at Harris Creek?

Recently moved into a new home that looks like it had some leaking at some point. Sellers said it hadn't leaked in many years, but they apparently didn't want to fix the appearance of it. I haven't pulled back any of the damage, but I'm assuming this will need new drywall, not just a new coat of paint. The picture actually looks worse than it is, but hopefully it's clear enough. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry...I can't really tell what I'm looking at. Is this a window opening? Also, that doesn't look like sheetrock...is it? Finally, even if they told the truth and it hasn't leaked (at least visibly) in years, you could have old or continuing structural damage inside the wall. This will require some investigation on your part.... |
How to repair???? Just tear out the bad material, replace it then do a nice job finishing it. My biggest questions would be what caused it and has it been perminatly repaired. That looks like commercial construction judging from wall cavity. Does the building have a flat roof? |
- Posted by Trebruchet (email@example.com) on Sun, Feb 16, 14 at 10:56
That looks like some fine old plaster. Make sure the leak has been stopped then give it a skim coat of mud. I'd sure try that before ripping it out and drywalling. |
Trebuchet- I generally agree with you to not make more work than necessary, but it may be hard to confirm there isn't a leak going on internally without at least some modest demo. The last time I dealt with a wall leak, there was little external evidence of damage, but, inside the wall, the studs had literally been turned to mush...I was able to scoop out handfuls of sopped wood pulp and moisture ants using just my hand. |
I would say do nothing until you know with certainty that it no longer leaks there. Has it rained seen you moved in? |

Hans Reiser to Sell Company
Not Surprising Really (583 comments)
Defending yourself in court is expensive, and I think the government depends on this fact to convict many of the cases they try. And God help you if you are depending on a public defense attorney in a captial murder charge.
Some people complain that rich people are treated differently under the law, but I suspect that what really happens is that they are rich enough to make the system work like it should.

I've seen a fair share of movies. Action, comedy, film noir, horror, art film, etc. "A View to a Boat Chase" doesn*t fall into any of these categories, instead it would classify as a home movie. All "A View to a Boat Chase" consists of is footage of the filming of the opening boat chase sequence from "The World is Not Enough" captured by David Williams camcorder as he stands on the street observing.
If footage of behind the scenes stunt work is interesting to you then "A View to a Boat Chase" may in fact prove worthwhile, if however the concept of watching stunt people drive around in boats for OVER AN HOUR strikes you as incredibly boring (I, myself lean towards the latter category) then avoid at all costs.
Obviously David Williams is enthusiastic about the images he has captured and that is wonderful, however the odds of finding anyone else who is equally as enraptured is low – very low.

How To Get Him To Listen With Sensual Communication
By Deb Dutilh
We all agree that positive thinking is the way to go, right. But if we could think our way out of our thoughts, we'd have already done it. What's going on is that we don't even know we're thinking those thoughts because we are so busy lamenting like a victim and striking out with misplaced anger all made up in our heads with our Internal Chain of Commands and the stories we tell ourselves.
What's one sense you can focus on today? Pick one and the acutely perceive your world today through that sense. Note down the feelings, images, daydreams and ideas that come to you. If you feel negativity, that's great! Ask yourself what triggered it? What's going on? How can you turn that into a positive empowering thought instead?
It's a whole lot easier than you think and you'll start feeling lighter in no time. Really, you will!
I'm so glad you are here! If you liked this post, please leave your comments and feel free to share it with family and friends. And be sure to download my Free Report on Cultivating Communication.
To Your Sensually Empowered Communication!
If you're frustrated at not being heard, feel like your needs are not being met or you say "Yes" when you really want to say "No" and take things personally, then you should definitely contact me today about my innovative online Compatibility Index. In less than 60 minutes, I can tell you exactly why you are no longer feeling compatibility with your partner, why you are struggling in your conversations and give you tips and strategies for communicating your needs and desires confidently, elegantly and guilt-free!

ISS Recommends TELUS Shareholders Scrutinize Proposed Exchange Ratio
Mason Capital Management LLC ("Mason") today responded to the report issued by Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") regarding the proposed dual share-class collapse transaction of TELUS Corporation (TSX:T, T.A; NYSE: TU), which is to be voted on at a general meeting of TELUS scheduled for October 17, 2012.
Michael Martino, Mason's principal and co-founder, said: "The ISS report recognizes – and agrees with – Mason's core arguments: that the voting shares are of greater value than the non-voting shares, and that TELUS' proposed one-for-one exchange ratio dilutes voting shareholders' voting rights and transfers the premium they have paid for to the non-voting class."
The ISS report, dated September 28, 2012, recognizes the validity of Mason's fundamental arguments. For example, the report notes that:
- "The proposed exchange ratio… in veering off from the well-established, enduring market ratio, is a cause for concern, and should legitimately be scrutinized by shareholders."
- "The fact that the special committee's financial advisor could not explain why the non-voting shares trade at a discount to the voting shares does not change, much less dismiss, the demonstrable facts that the discount does exist in market prices, and that any exchange ratio other than the market ratio affords a market premium – real economic value – to one class of shares or the other."
- "An exchange ratio which forces the voting shares to suffer voting dilution, then cede a market premium to the other share class as well, flies in the face of the principle that voting rights themselves have value."
- "Additional economic benefits from the transaction that would benefit both classes of shares – particularly the expectations of additional trading liquidity – do not necessarily provide logical justification for a transaction at this particular exchange ratio."
- "…[T]he terms of the transaction do stipulate that employee stock options for non-voting shares will be exchanged for options on voting shares – which already traded at a higher price – without adjusting the strike price. This effectively grants a bonus, if not quite a windfall, to holders of those options, who saw their option value appreciate simply through the mechanism of the option exchange, before any organic price appreciation."
Mr. Martino continued, "In light of ISS' strong and highly critical statements against TELUS' proposed one-for-one exchange ratio, we expect voting shareholders, like us, will be perplexed and confused by ISS' self-contradictory recommendation for the proposal. Fortunately, the power to defeat TELUS unfair and oppressive proposal lies with the voting shareholders, who we urge to vote "NO" on TELUS' proposed share collapse."
