Winter Olympics 2010: Ghostcrawler promised me a moose {WoW}
Feb 26th 2010 2:17PM Beyond the initial joke(s) before the Olympics started, Blizzard has spent the last 15 days pretending there is no Olympics, and certainly no interest in them by the player base.
It would be nice if this finally prompted an "official" response, but I doubt that'll happen.

WoW Insider Show Episode 124 feat. Daryl Brewer and Fatty {WoW}
Jan 12th 2010 11:19AM Great show. Love Adam's rants (on tanking and other things), and I found the lore discussion incredibly interesting.
I "knew" the Onyxia quest chain had been removed, but never really grokked all the ramnifications. That sucks. It truly was the defining lore quest chain for the Alliance.
A lack of Alliance pride {WoW}
Dec 9th 2009 11:43AM I find the "alliance are all 12 yr olds" stereo type to be quite amusing. Of course, you know who's spreading this stereotype? The horde 12 yr olds and basement dwellers who wish they were still 12. :P Okay, maybe 14.
But seriously, think hard about the teens and tweens that you know. What faction are they more likely to be attracted to? The normal, default, "good guys"? Or the "evil"/misunderstood/oppressed badasses?
You know, because all the teens prefer Luke over Vader. :P
A lack of Alliance pride {WoW}
Dec 9th 2009 9:15AM I think because the horde tend to be portrayed as the underdogs or the downtrodden, their situation is more likely to inspire fiercer loyalty.
To draw a horrible real-world parallel, you don't see many rich white Americans proudly shouting their status to the world, but there's a lot of black/hispanic/ethnic/cultural pride and solidarity....
That being said, I do have an alliance symbol on my van. :) And no, I'm not a rich white American. I'm a middle-class white Canadian. :P

Spookin Today
Spookin Today we call her Jane has been in reining horse training for the last year, she is doing all of her maneuvers but needs more finish and then she would be great for someone to show on the weekends at the horse shows. We don't just train and ride our horses in the arena as we believe that they should also be ridden out, Jane is turning out to be a great trial riding mare, she will cross creeks, go thru the woods, picks up feet great over logs, rides out in the wide open spaces and is quiet doing it all, we train them to ride this way by themselves so she does great by herself and also with other horses in a group. Jane is a very pretty mare with excellent conformation, she is bred the best being a daughter of the great Smart Spook NRHA Earner of $77,895 and is the Leading Money earning son of the late great NRHA Hall Of Fame Stallion Smart Chic Olena who has sired earners of over 10 MILLION in Reining, Cutting and Cowhorse. Smart Spook's dam is Sugarplum Spook by the late great Grays Starlight. She is a producer of 10 money earners winning over $476,340 and 350 AQHA points in Reining, Cutting and Working Cow Horse events. She is also a full sister to NCHA Superstakes Champion, A Little Starlight who won over $205,000 Spookin Today is a great bred mare and on the bottom of her papers she has the great mare Bueno Chex Rani who has produced 10 money earners by the wonderful stallion Bueno Chex and she also has Colonel Freckles also right on her registration papers. If you are looking for an all around prospect then Jane would be one worth your investment as she has the conformation, bloodlines and disposition and her whole life ahead of her.

System Calls
Code in the Linux kernel can be executed in two basic ways. One is to be called by an interrupt, and the other is to be called from a user program (that's my required "white lie" for this column). User programs call code in the kernel through a system call, which is essentially an unusual type of function call.
Of course, when user code calls privileged kernel code, the kernel has to very carefully check the validity of its arguments in order to avoid accidentally doing harm of any sort. If the code is not safe for anyone but the superuser to execute, there are routines for checking that, too.
Creating a system call is more difficult than creating a normal C language function, but not too difficult. There is certainly more to it than declaring a function in a header file—and for system calls, the only change that is needed to a header file is not a function declaration.
The first thing that you need to do is either modify an existing file in the kernel, or create a new file to be compiled. If you create a new file, we will assume that you are able to add it to the appropriate Makefile and use the proper #include statements for the code you are writing. You will want to make sure that <linux/errno.h> is included, because system calls need to be able to return error codes, and those error codes are all defined in errno.h.
You will need to create a function called sys_name, where name is the name of the system call you are creating. The function must have the return specification asmlinkage int, and it may have any number of arguments between 0 and 5, inclusive. The arguments must all be the same size as a long; they may not be structures. (Or, at least, not structures larger than a long. It would not be wise to make structures the same size as a long because integer arithmetic is done on them. What is a "signed" structure? If you don't want to think about that question, do not use small structures. In truth, don't use them at all.)
The function will return errors as -ENAME. Negative numbers are treated as error values on return (we will see how later) and positive numbers are considered normal return values. This means that on systems with 32-bit long values, only 31 bits are available for passing back return values. On 64-bit systems like Linux/Alpha, only 63 bits are available. This makes it difficult to pass addresses in the high half of the range back to user programs.
There are two ways around this. One is to make one of the function's arguments be the address of a user-space variable in which to place the return value. The other is to find some other way of returning an error and making a special way of handling the return value. The first way is, to the best of my knowledge, always preferable, so I will not explain the second way.
Before reading or writing any area in a user program from the kernel, the verify_area() function must be called. In normal use on a 486 or Pentium, it is less important for kernel stability than on the 386 (although it helps detect errors much more cleanly and avoids having processes die in kernel mode), but on the 386 it is absolutely essential to system stability, because the 386 does not honor memory protection when it is in "supervisor" mode, which is the mode the kernel runs in. This means, for instance, that the CPU will happily write to read-only user-space memory from the kernel.
The verify_area() function takes three variables. First is one of VERIFY_READ or VERIFY_WRITE. Second is the address in the current user program that is to be verified. Third is the length of the memory area you wish to read or write. It returns 0 if the memory area is valid, and -EFAULT if the memory is not valid. A common phrase is something like this:
int error; error = verify_area(VERIFY_WRITE, buf, len); if (error) return error; ...
Please note that verify_area only verifies addresses in user memory space, not kernel memory space. Memory in kernel space is never swapped out, and is always readable and writable. On the i86 family, the fs segment register is used in the kernel to select the user-space memory of the current process. Other architectures do this differently. This functionality is abstracted out into a few useful functions, explained below.
Your work when writing your system call will be much easier if you do as much testing as possible before committing any resources to the task at hand. As a general rule, tests are done in this order:
Run all necessary verify_area tests.
Do (almost) all other tests in an appropriate order, including normal permission testing.
Do suser() or fsuser() tests if appropriate. These should only be called after other tests have succeeded, because BSD-style root-privilege accounting may be added to the kernel at some point. See the comments in include/linux/kernel.h.
The suser() function is used to determine if the process has root permissions for most activities. However, the fsuser() function must be used for all filesystem-related permissions. This difference allows servers to assume the file permissions of a user without "becoming" the user, even briefly. This is important because if the server exchanges uid's such that it "becomes" the user for even a moment, the user can disturb the process in various ways, potentially breaching security in many ways. By simply using the fsuid and fsgid functions instead, the server avoids this security nightmare. For this to work, all kernel filesystem permissions testing must use the fsuser() function to test for superuser status, and must look at current->fsuid and current->fsgid for normal permissions on filesystem objects. (For more details on the current pointer, see the definition of task_struct in include/linux/sched.h.)
A good example of a program that needs this ability is the nfs server. Early versions of the nfs server were not able to use this functionality (because it didn't yet exist), and there were several security holes. The most common nuisance was users noticing that they could kill the server.
After you check permissions and any other possible error conditions, you probably want to actually get something done. Unless you simply want to return a value that can fit in a 31-bit (or 63-bit for Linux/Alpha) return value, you will need to write to the user memory that you checked with the verify_area function at the beginning of function. You can't just use the pointer to user-space memory as a normal pointer. Instead, you have to use a set of special functions to access it. And if you want to read any user-space memory in order to do your system call, you will need to use a similar set of functions to do so.
In older versions of Linux (through 1.2.x), you had to specify what kind of memory access you were making. There were 6 functions for single memory access: get_fs_byte, get_fs_word, get_fs_long, put_fs_byte, put_fs_word, and put_fs_long. These names (and names with the fs replaced with user) are still supported in newer kernels, but starting with Linux 1.3, they are deprecated. The get_user and put_user functions are to be used instead. They are easier to read and for the most part easier to use, but because they depend on the type of the pointer being passed to them, they are not tolerant of sloppy pointer use. (This is probably a good thing, since Linux now runs both on little- and big-endian computers, and big-endian computers are not tolerant of sloppy pointer use either.)
The memory block access routines have stayed the same since the earliest versions, even though their names still contain the letters "fs"; memcpy_tofs is used to copy a block of memory to user space, and memcpy_fromfs is used to copy a block of user memory to memory in kernel space.
All of the memory access routines are defined in include/asm/segment.h—even on architectures without segmentation. On all of the non-Intel architectures, these functions are essentially null functions, since they do not implement segmentation.
Up to this point, you have simply implemented a new function in the kernel. Simply prepending the name with sys_ will not make it possible to call the function from user code.
You need to make two additions within the kernel. The first is in include/linux/unistd.h, right near the end. You need to look for the last line that starts with #define __NR and add your own:
#define __NR_name ###
where ### is the number one greater than the previous last system call number. In version 1.2.9, that would be 141.
The second change will have to be made in multiple files, one for each architecture that Linux runs on. Each file arch/*/kernel/entry.S will need an additional entry in its system call table. The system call table is kept at the end of the file, and you will simply need to add an entry at the end of the table before the .space line and change the .space formula at the very end to reflect the new number of system calls.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

U.S. Attorney Wagoner Announces Resignation
Greensboro, NC – United States Attorney Anna Mills Wagoner announced today that she is resigning her position as United States Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina effective on Friday, August 6, 2010. Ms. Wagoner intends to run for elected office in Rowan County.
Ms. Wagoner was confirmed by the U.S. Senate and sworn in as U.S. Attorney for the Middle District on November 16, 2001. The Middle District consists of 24 counties in central North Carolina. As U.S. Attorney Ms. Wagoner ably managed the activities of approximately 24 Assistant U.S. Attorneys and a similar number of staff operating from offices in Greensboro and Winston-Salem and representing the United States in criminal, civil and appellate matters before the federal courts. Ms. Wagoner is one of the last Bush-appointed U.S. Attorneys continuing to serve the Obama administration.
"It has been an honor and a privilege to serve two Presidents and the people of the Middle District of North Carolina as U.S. Attorney," said Wagoner in announcing her resignation. "I am proud of the commitment and professionalism demonstrated by the U.S. Attorney' s Office staff and the federal, state and local law enforcement officers with whom we have worked. Together we have made our local communities and our nation a better, safer place to live, ensured the firm but fair enforcement of the criminal laws, and protected the interests of the United States."
With federal, state and local law enforcement partners, the office under Ms. Wagoner has worked diligently to investigate and prosecute drug traffickers, online child predators, violent and repeat offenders, firearm violators, white collar offenders engaged in schemes such as identity theft and fraud, and others. During Ms. Wagoner's tenure more than 3,500 criminal cases were filed in the Middle District charging more than 4,500 defendants with federal criminal violations. Violent crime prosecutions increased dramatically during that time and comprised 58% of all criminal prosecutions in the current fiscal year. The conviction rate during Ms. Wagoner's tenure averaged 93% and fewer than 6% of the cases charged in the district proceeded to trial, the remainder being guilty pleas. During her time with the office more than 93% of all convicted offenders were sentenced to active terms of imprisonment.
In related proceedings under Ms. Wagoner's leadership, the office seized and forfeited currency and property representing the proceeds or instrumentalities of criminal conduct valued at more than $69 million, and collected more than $15 million in criminal fines, penalties and restitution.
On the civil side, the office defended the United States in personal injury, wrongful death and employment discrimination lawsuits, and collected more than $57 million in civil judgments and other debts owed to the United States, including more than $49 million in health care fraud recovery.
Programs and cases of particular note include the following:
Narcotics prosecutions – Since Ms. Wagoner became U.S. Attorney, the office has initiated and completed eleven Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force investigations which resulted in the arrest and conviction of 146 defendants. Among those arrested were the leaders of the Cirilo Lopez organization, the Valderrama Organization, the Zuniga Organization, and the Juan Lopez Organization. The highest level members of these organizations were responsible for smuggling thousands of kilograms of cocaine into the United States, and subsequently into the Middle District of North Carolina. These organizations were identified as cells (or subsidiaries) of Mexican drug cartels, and were located in various counties within the Middle District. Defendants from these organizations were prosecuted for money laundering and firearms offenses, as well as drug trafficking crimes. Dozens of lower-level drug offenders have also been convicted during Ms. Wagoner's tenure.
Project Safe Neighborhoods – Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is a comprehensive, multi-faceted, data and front line knowledge driven approach to deterring and reducing violent gun and gang related crime. Criminals and gang members who engage in violence are aggressively prosecuted under federal, state, or local laws, depending on which jurisdiction can provide the most appropriate punishment. In addition, federal prosecutors and agents work with state and local law enforcement, prosecutors, probation, academicians, service agencies and community leaders to deter and prevent gun crime through community outreach and assistance. PSN ensures that all partners receive appropriate training so the work can be done efficiently and effectively. Under Ms. Wagoner, PSN has successfully implemented, modified and replicated across nine sites in this district the concept of focused deterrence initially pioneered by David Kennedy in the mid 1990's. Focusing limited resources on prevention, intervention, prisoner reentry and prosecution of the population that causes the most gun and gang related violent crime has shown dramatic results. Since PSN's inception in 2001, federal prosecutions of gun crimes have increased 76%. At the same time, violent crime rates have plunged to a 30-year low. Across the Middle District, PSN task forces have partnered with their communities to achieve reductions in violent gun and gang related crime which significantly exceed the national results. In High Point, for example, violent crime reductions of over 50% have been sustained for over 10 years. The High Point Drug Market Intervention has been nationally recognized as a best practice and has been replicated across the Middle District, the state of North Carolina and the United States. "We are proud of the partnerships PSN has developed with our local community leaders in Alamance, Cabarrus, Davidson, Durham, and Orange Counties and the cities of Greensboro, High Point, Salisbury and Winston-Salem," Wagoner commented. "All of these communities are safer because of the PSN approach."
Project Safe Childhood – Ms. Wagoner contributed significantly to improving federal law enforcement efforts in many areas, but perhaps nowhere was it more evident than in the child exploitation arena. She is a long time advocate of state and local cooperation in child exploitation cases, and virtually every federal prosecution in the Middle District of North Carolina involved some component of local law enforcement. With the assistance of ms. Wagoner, in 2008 the Guilford County Sheriff's Office was one of 23 agencies in the nation and three in North Carolina to receive a grant to fight child exploitation, designed to fund innovative programs that allow agencies to establish and/or enhance strategies to combat child pornography. The office vigorously participated in Project Safe Childhood, a Department of Justice initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Since the start of Project Safe Childhood in 2006 the office has indicted and sentenced more than 20 individuals for crimes involving the sexual exploitation or abuse of children, including Charles Childers, the former Landis (NC) Police Chief and 27-year law enforcement veteran, who in February 2008 was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison on child pornography charges, and Richard "Chip" Williams, a former NASCAR publicist who was sentenced in June 2006 to more than 26 years in federal prison for unlawful contact with a minor female. "The sexual exploitation of children is an abomination. By raising public awareness and vigorously prosecuting violators, our goal is to reduce the number of child victims to zero," said Wagoner. "I am proud of our efforts in this area and confident that prosecutors and law enforcement will continue to confront this problem aggressively."
White collar crimes – White collar prosecutions were also a significant component of Ms. Wagoner's overall crime reduction efforts. Many significant white collar prosecutions were undertaken during her eight years as U.S. Attorney, and the office was in the forefront nationally of the mortgage fraud crisis of the early 2000's. At least twenty-two people were indicted in the Middle District between 2003 and 2005 in connection with three mortgage fraud schemes, including six associated with American Homes of High Point and thirteen connected to Oasis Mortgage of High Point. The individuals indicted included several attorneys and local businessmen. Other significant white collar prosecutions included: U.S. v. Manlin Chee (former immigration lawyer sentenced a year and a day in federal prison for submitting false documentation to the U.S. government); U.S. v. Marko Rudi (Rudi, a consultant with the Baltic branch of accounting group Ernst and Young, was one of the first defendants ever extradited from Estonia, after his arrest there in 2008 by Interpol. Rudi was convicted of major fraud against the United States and sentenced in June 2010 to 33 months in federal prison); U.S. v. Ernest Pitt, et al. (convictions against three men stemming from a Winston-Salem land deal completed in 2003 in which East Pointe Developers bought 23 lots in the Lansing Ridge subdivision for $285,000, then sold them to the housing authority's nonprofit wing two days later for $414,000, a 45 percent return); and U.S. v. Veselin Vidacak and U.S. v. Ugljesa Pantic (two men convicted of lying about serving in the Republic of Srpska's Zvornik Brigade when applying for refugee status. The brigade was responsible for the massacre of thousands of Muslims in the village of Srebrenica in July 1995).
Eve Carson murder – Ms. Wagoner supported pursuit of the death penalty for Demario James Atwater in connection with the March 2008 murder of UNC student body president Eve Carson. Atwater eventually pleaded guilty and agreed to accept a sentence of life imprisonment. Sentencing is set for September 23, 2010. "Eve Carson was a bright and giving young leader who positively impacted the lives of her family, friends, and community," said U. S. Attorney Wagoner. "The plea assures that Atwater will be appropriately punished for his senseless act of violence, because a life sentence in the federal criminal justice system means just that: life without the possibility of parole or early release."

I was wondering if those of us with 0- blood have more restrictions than O+ bloodtypes. If anyone knows please respond? I've been following the er4yt & zone diet for over 1 year and I feel great. I have completely eliminated wheat but I occasionally have corn. Also, I still eat dairy (I'm northern european) and I don't have a problem digesting it. Is anyone else out there that can still tolerate dairy? Should I completly eliminate dairy if I can tolerate it?

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Reliable receiver: Mello off to hot start for UNH
Monday, September 23, 2013
DURHAM – Catching waves one day, catching passes the next.
Despite early struggles, Mello seized the opportunity by working his way up the depth chart into a starter's role this season as a senior. "Walk-on University," Mello said. "That's our self-proclaimed nickname. That's really helped us learn what this program is all about. It's hard work. You don't get anything for free. Everything you get is earned." The Dartmouth, Mass., native is realizing the rewards of his labor this season. He leads the team in receiving after two games with 10 catches for 218 yards and one touchdown. Mello already has more receiving yards than he had all of last year. Averaging a team-best 21.8 yards per catch, he's emerged as one of the Wildcats' top deep threats. "He puts a lot of people to sleep," McDonnell said. "He doesn't look real fast, but he's always getting behind people. He doesn't have shifty moves, but he's always making people miss." Mello posted consecutive 100-yard games to open the season after having only one in the previous three years combined.
"I feel more confident this year," Mello said. "It helps to have the starting position. I've always been a back-up. Knowing that they have a lot of trust in me has really helped me out." That trust was evident during last week's win over Colgate when Mello caught five passes for 101 yards. Four of those receptions went for first downs, including a 16-yard gain on fourth-and-3 that led to the Wildcats' first touchdown. He also took a lateral and gained 11 yards for another first down. Of his six touches against Colgate, five went for first downs. "He's a smart player," said quarterback Andy Vailas. "He knows where to be. He knows where the first down is so he'll change the depth of his routes to get where he needs to be. He's always in the open hole. He has a knack for finding space and getting away from the defender." Even when he can't shake the defender Mello still manages to make the catch. He did that for a 53-yard gain against Colgate and a 41-yarder in the opener at Central Michigan where he finished with five receptions for 117 yards.
In both cases the defender interfered with him, yet he maintained his focus.
Mello caught 23 passes for 416 yards in 2011 for an average of 18.1 yards per catch to rank second on the team. He also ranked second in touchdowns with five.
"He's practiced that way since his freshman year," McDonnell said. "He kept opening our eyes with how hard he worked and how he caught the ball. His football IQ is very high." |

FreedomPop to launch free home wireless broadband in Denver in January
Posted By Andy Vuong On December 12, 2012 @ 2:13 pm In Clearwire,General,Technology | 7 Comments
Upstart mobile Internet service provider FreedomPop said Wednesday that it will launch wireless home broadband in Denver and across the country in January.
Like its mobile high-speed Internet service, the company's home broadband offering will ride on Clearwire's 4G WiMax network. Though WiMax service is spotty indoors, FreedomPop's Hub Burst modem and router will feature wireless antennas that should boost coverage and speeds.
Those who place preorders for the home service, which opened Wednesday [3], will receive 1 gigabyte of data for free per month, double the 500 megabytes of data that's offered to FreedomPop's mobile broadband subscribers. Consumers will be able to use FreedomPop's service without signing up for a paid subscription, which will start at about $10 a month. The Hub Burst modem will cost $89.
FreedomPop chief executive Stephen Stokols said the company's mobile broadband offering has seen strong adoption, with 35 percent of subscribers opting for a paid plan.
"The business model proving itself ahead of pace which is why we are expediting the timing of our home launch with the confidence in the underlying model," he said.
Stokols said moderate Internet users can save hundreds of dollars a year by switching to the company's service.
"The median American household uses under 5.5 GB per month at home [4], yet spends over $50 for Internet service," he said.
I reviewed FreedomPop's mobile broadband offering [5] via its Photon hotspot and found the service to be reliable and fast, though coverage indoors was spotty, at best. I plan on testing the home broadband service when it launches next month.

ECF Game 6 Celtics/Pistons Fri. May 30th, 8:30 PM tv: ESPN Series swings back to Auburn Hills as the Pistons enter their 1st Elimination game of the post-season. I don't have to tell you all how huge this game is. Will this be the last charge for Flip and his immortals? Or can they finally get over the 10 win post-season hump and force this thing back to Boston for a game 7? If they lose then all I ask is for the team to leave it all out on the court. If Boston is the better team then they are the better team. But thats not been decided yet and the Pistons are still alive. Back in the ECF of 05 against the Heat the Pistons were also down 2-3 without homecourt in the series. Time to step it up and prove that they still are capable of winning these kinds of things. This is it. This is what they are going to be remembered by. Its going to determine if they will be remembered as underachievers or as champions. Hamilton uncertain for game 6 Hamilton strains elbow, uncertain for Game 6 - Detroit Pistons Basketball: News, Blogs, Photos, Audio, Schedule & Stats - MLive.com
I concur Max. We got to get over the proverbial 10 game hump and win # 11 and then take care of business Sunday and win #12. We were actually in the same position the last three years, down 3-2. We came back and won the won 6 and 7 as you indicated (with LB in 05). But with Flip we have lost game six and the series the last two years. Each of those two losses were on the road but this time we have game 6 at home and have to prevail. No game 3 duplications or let downs here, no free chili for the Celtics. If they do then it so long Mr Flip and one of those underachieving vets
Stuckey says that we got killed on the glass and need to do a better job. Then he suggested we play Amir . . . Ok, the second part is not true, but you know he thinks it.
you're funny here: all blames to flip who didn't play amir. Ok, he maybe could have been good enough for several rebounds but at the same time committed several fouls also, it means 4-6 additional foul shots to C's. And he is physically a lot weaker than perkins or KG or PJ Brown. The only way to beat boston is that all starters have to play well or at least have above average game. I know, I know, next poster asks after this: but how'bout afflalo? Isn't he savior's materal?
Joe needs to sign Flip to an extension just before the game starts. This will set the tone for the whole night. 4 years at about 18.9 million should just about do it. When we win it all, then Flip becomes a bargain. Remember...All of you who think that Flip is gone...Think... Who was the person who picked up Theo during the season? Who gave Flip the opportunity to bench Amir in favor of Theo? All Joe had to do is just watch Flip play Amir if that's what he wanted. I see Joe keeping Flip.........He's the consumate company man...
9.98 DR Elimination game, it would only be tougher on the road. Celts could relax and reload for home, that been there M.O. Aside from the rebounding issues just avoid the cold shooting streaks.
This is like saying, aside from the dagger in my lungs and subsequent blood filling them up... I feel fine.
Again, everybody else was getting called for fouls anyways. At worst you make them earn the points from the stripe, and you save the starters legs and foul trouble.
Plus you get the opportunity to get easy buckets by getting a rebound and running the ball rather then taking it out of bounds after ANOTHER Celtic point blank put back!!!!!
Wrong. some starters have underperformed and our bench is not capable of covering those underperformances. Our bench are rookies and veteran minimums. Why do you treat them like world saviors? In or current configuration it is starters job to win games. Maybe in this club are starters roles way too big? I mean, maybe dumars and flip expect too much from starters?
yeah, fact of the matter is it's the starters who aren't getting it done. the bench is capable of holding leads, extending leads, or even chipping away at leads...but you can't expect them to come back from 17-20 down. i'll be at the game and i'll probably lose my voice again, but i fully expect a drubbing by the pistons and then anything goes in game 7.
Rax, without Stuckey, the Pistons would be fishing right now. He's a bench rookie. All year long, Stuck, Afflalo, and Amir were contributing to wins. Stuckey didn't stand out as being the superstar amoung them. These 3 players are all good and can all help, if given the chance. The vets off the bench have been given plenty of opportunity and they are playing pretty average. Take this for example: Lindsey Hunter has played 52 minutes so far against Boston. He has 7 points on 37% shooting, and 5 steals compared to 14 personal fouls. Now, what are Afflalo's perceived weaknesses? His shot can be cold and he fouls a lot with his aggressive defense? I'm fairly confidend that he can provide more than Lindsey... who I actually think has been overachieving so far.
AA instead of lenz - very minor issue and stuckey gets PT anyway. Listen, I have nothing against of playing those players, but I do not believe, as some do, that they are capable of turning things around. As warthog said it is one thing to keep lead but coming back is absolutely another, especially in ECF and vs. Boston. I'm in full agreement with those who say play AA and AJ, but it is in our situation IMO really small thing. We live and die depending on what starters do, THIS matters.
The bench has played 30.3% of the total playoff minutes so far compared to 69.7% for the starters. So, yes, the starters are 2.3 times as important to our success. But 30% is too big to ignore. The part that I will agree with is that as fans we can't do anything about any of this. We can't make our starters play better and we can't put our best bench players on the court. Flip also can't make our starters play much better. The one thing that he has absolute contol over is which bench players to play. I think that is where our frustration comes from.
Correct if I'm wrong but I vaguely remember that in title run it was 80% starters mins and rest for bench.Still our, perceivable "best" bench players are not capable of correcting starters mistakes.

Engineer Resume Cover Letter Truths
Many resume books will tell you that your cover letter introduces your resume. This is not the case. In fact, more often than not, your resume determines whether the reviewer ever reads your cover letter. The reviewer will read your cover letter only if your resume passes an initial review.
Gatekeepers (recruiters, staffing managers, HR managers) are interested in facts not fluff. A resume offers a quicker route to the facts than a cover letter. Most people who review resumes and cover letters for a living quickly learn to discount and ignore a candidate's cover letter unless the resume gives the reviewer a good reason to consider the candidate for an interview.
Important facts you should know about cover letters if you would like to succeed in your job search:
• 90% of all cover letters are never read, or scanned Most recruiters and staffing managers will scan your resume first unless your cover letter is brief and is placed in the body of your email or online submission form. If they do not like your resume, they will not read your cover letter. If you have something important to say, say it in your resume unless it does not properly belong in a resume. Your cover letter is not a chance to make a first impression -- it is a second chance to maintain a good impression.
• But, the other 10% can sink good resumes If a recruiter or other gatekeeper reads your cover letter first, and it is poorly written, he or she may decide not to spend any time (not even ten seconds) scanning your resume. On the other hand, a well-written cover letter will persuade the reader to pay special attention to your resume.
• So, you must have an outstanding cover letter If your resume survives a ten second scan, and a thorough review, the recruiter or staffing manager will want to read your cover letter. For this reason, your cover letter must stand out and make a strong positive impression. In short, cover letters are seldom read but you should have one, and it should be superbly written.
A few tips to help you produce a superior cover letter:
• Just the facts A cover letter is not an autobiography. It should be short and sweet, brief and to the point. The cover letter and resume should demonstrate that you meet or exceed the requirements listed in the job description, that you are interested in the position, and that you are available. Any additional information is superfluous and can be counterproductive.
• Avoid negatives It's been said that no politician ever lost an election over a speech that wasn't made. Don't lose the election. This is not the place to explain why you left or are leaving an employer. Negatives are best delivered in person so that your personality and humanity can counter them. If a recruiter or hiring manager likes your resume and wants additional information, she'll schedule an interview.
• Avoid providing a salary history A salary history is more likely to cost you a job than not. If the job ad says that resumes without a salary history will not be considered, give a historical salary range and state that your salary requirements are flexible.
• Make your cover letter easy on the eyes It should be easy to scan and have a logical progression. Bunched up text in long paragraphs will frustrate anyone who has to review hundreds of resumes and cover letters a week. Don't repeat your resume. Your cover letter is not a summary of your resume - listing previous employers and job roles can be counterproductive.
• Don't repeat worn platitudes and clichés Experienced gatekeepers know that almost every candidate promises "excellent written and verbal communication skills", and the ability to "think outside the box" and "juggle multiple tasks" while walking and chewing gum. Be different. Demonstrate your written communication skills by writing a good cover letter.
• Offer a solution to their problem Most employers hire people because the employer needs to accomplish a task—not because they want to provide employment opportunities to the public. Your cover letter should be solution-centric; not "I" centered. Keep the "I would like" stuff to a minimum.
• Personalize your cover letter if possible Your cover letter should be addressed to a specific person whenever indentifying information is available. Form letters insult the reviewer's intelligence and indicate that the writer is broadcasting her resume to every employer or has not made an effort to learn more about the company. Generic/canned cover letters can lead to failure. Even if you do not know the name of the recipient, if you conduct basic research, you can customize the cover letter to suit the position and the company. Tell the reader that you are interested in the company and the position, and why.

He also did not anticipate that their merchandise not just sell nicely in domestic industry, but Sichengyishang also offered towards the Usa, European Union, Russia And Japan, far more than 20 nations and areas.
Still he dared not believe that the significant mall in Japan, "Hantec" footwear will probably be offered actually equivalent to Renminbi 5,000 yuan a pair of higher prices. If it's not creating shoes, Ji-million rural Jimo, probably just an ordinary farmer will not be like this, to chairman Hantec identity, and the world's top-level corporate decision-making individuals sit with each other, talk about Cooperation And look for win-win circumstance. If not creating shoes, he wouldn't to a big shareholder, to attend the French Worldwide Advancement Restricted Brands board of directors, to focus on the best way to integrate resources and build the market.
In fact, he wanted to own a profession path to trod, now his wife cheer his heart with bottom, then in 1984, when he left and began a family members a tough company. Start out creating shoes, Ji-case members of the family within the technical excellence, since they know there is no good quality assurance, jobs will probably be smashed. Hence, the footwear had been generated in Jimo a market vendors fancy. Vendors must get shoes on the market place and selling it under the items, so hurry door bargaining, the final about twenty yuan a pair, how a lot of they produced. Wang Ji event afterwards, a pair of 20 yuan, half the profits, on an agreed down. At first, they are able to only develop a few pairs of footwear a day, and later continued recruitment, expansion, output to achieve dozens of pairs of numerous pairs, but its items are nevertheless in brief supply.
To get back the trademarks of Sichuan! Contacts with producers in Sichuan Province, he was informed that this enterprise brink of bankruptcy. But when he created the give to "Hantec" mark once the other includes a higher asking value, so about 30 million occasions, it refuses to let go. At that time, Ji-million shoe only a hundred million really worth of annual profit, but he didn't hesitate to investors bought back the trademark. Ji-million inside the brand's emphasis around the case, can't support but gasp in admiration of his strategic vision. Powerful brand awareness normally led him to produce selections beforehand.

Now we have moved on to using beats from websites such as soundclick.com and writing our own lyrics. The next step we are taking is making our own beats. This step is going to be a process, but we are committed to success. I would describe our music as Pop/Hip-Hop and we really do not stick to one style.

Easter Table Favor Cups
By: Mama King of 4 Crazy Kings
This wonderful Easter craft project comes to us compliments of the ever-creative Mama King of 4 Crazy Kings. She recycles plastic snack-size fruit cups (like individual applesauce containers) to create adorable Easter favors for table place settings. Create a tulip favor cup or an Easter bunny cup cleverly hiding a lollipop. What a great idea to recycle materials for Easter crafts!
- 1 Plastic snack size fruit bowl/cup for each guest or table setting
- Felt
- Scissors
- Craft Glue or Glue Gun
- Easter Basket Filler
- Egg for Each Cup (Either Plastic or Real. You can write each guests name on the egg with a paint pen. If using plastic fill with jelly beans, a message or stickers.)
- Lollipop (For grass basket)
- Ribbon
Level: Moderate
Age 8 (Younger with Adult assistance)
Bunny Hiding in the Grass
Grass Cup: Start with one clean snack cup. Measure five to six 2"w x 3.5"h sections of green felt for grass. Fringe along top. Hot glue works best but a good quality craft glue works as well. Overlap sections as you go. When dry trim top to desired length. Tie ribbon around middle/top of cup (you can glue gun in place.) Fill with jelly beans.
Bunny Cozy: Print out template (below). Cut out two bunny shapes. On one of the bunnies cut mouth detail. Cut out and Glue teeth to inside of bunny shape with mouth cut out. Run a glue bead around the edge of one bunny -- don't forget to glue the ears together. Sandwich the bunnies together. Add ear inserts and nose. I drew on eyes but you can glue on felt eyes or buttons. When dry cozy should fit over a standard size flat lollipop. I folded back the extra plastic wrapping on the lolli before I tucked it into the bunny. Stick bunny in grass cup.
Tulip Favor Cup
Start with clean snack cup. Cut out 6 petals (I provided a template -- but you don't really need one.) Hot glue works best when gluing felt to plastic. To make look tulip like, glue down one petal then glue two petal on top to create a v shape. See picture. Turn to other side and repeat. Cut out a strip of green felt or you can use ribbon to create handle. Pinking shears might add a nice decorative touch. Fill with Easter basket filler and place a real or plastic egg inside. Use a paint pen to add guests name. Fill plastic egg with jelly beans or stickers.
Click on template. Save to your desktop then print from your desktop.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders running back Mike Goodson is looking forward to playing in Carolina for the first time since being traded by the Panthers in the offseason.
He just doesn't know what type of reception to expect.
Goodson spent his first three NFL seasons with Carolina, still owns property there and routinely talks to some of his former teammates. Even Panthers coach Ron Rivera considers himself a fan of Goodson's and speaks glowingly about the 2009 fourth-round draft pick.
Make no mistake, however. While he remains on friendly terms with his former club, Goodson definitely wants to make a point to the Panthers.
Goodson's role has remained pretty much the same in Oakland as it was in Carolina. He has been the primary backup behind Darren McFadden and has picked up additional reps returning kickoffs.

Giveaway: Choc A Bloc mould
I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of silicone bakeware. I have very little and feel that I need some persuading on its merits. I know lots of you are huge fans and use little else but I've always preferred metal despite the – sometimes – hassle of lining it. So when Mustard Gifts offered to send me a sample of their best selling Choc A Bloc mould I wasn't entirely sure how it would go.
I was intrigued by a mould that lets you bake a cake to look like a bar of chocolate but what I actually wanted was a big bar chocolate. So I made fridge cake. Peanut butter cup fridge cake to be precise.
And I think this is what I'll be using it for in the future. I loved being able to offer up – rather large – chunks of fridge cake. It did pull slightly in some places but this was down to the peanut butter that had settled in the corners rather than any flaw with the mould in this case.
From a practical baking point of view the mould is temperature safe from -40c to 220c and can be chucked in the microwave and dishwasher.
I have one Choc A Bloc mould to give away to one Fishfingers for tea reader. There's a rafflecoptor widget below, with one mandatory entry and four bonus entries.
You can also find Mustard on Facebook and Twitter and they're well worth a look at if you're on the search for a gift that's fun and a little bit different.
I received a Choc A Bloc mould free of charge.

Everything's Coming Up Daisy's
by Secretary Confidential in View All Posts, April 17th, 2009Hello, FN Dishers!
So, I always thought I'd spot my dream home while flipping through Better Home and Gardens. Imagine my shock when I came across it last week on a trip "to get the mail" (wink, wink). I just happened to stumble onto the new Viva Daisy! set. Oops!
Man, is this set palatial! A real home away from home that inspires some serious envy. And there it is on a sound stage in Chelsea. Believe me, in this city, the average Jane's apartment serves up the bedroom, kitchen and living room as an all-in-one combo (read: an itty-bitty studio). This set, however, could easily house a family of five.
What I drooled over the most:
1) The foyer. Find me the Manhattanite that can define such a word.
2) Forget a walk-in closet, this baby has a walk-in pantry! All the food stacked on these shelves is edible and aching for a midnight raid.
3) An island. Ahh, better than sandy crystal-clear beaches, the extra counterspace (topped with marble) is a kitchenista's dream!
So, which FN kitchen would you die to have? Think big and let me know. You know my vote: Viva Daisy! Here's to eating well!
Yours truly,
Secretary Confidential
P.S. Daisy has a great website and blog. Check it out!

Would it be asking too much for a virtual tour? I felt those pics were tantalizing! I tried to enlarge the view so I could really scope it out. I guess I am really into the sneaky, secretive poking around that you have been doing. I feel like I am in on a clandestine mission waiting for something BIG to be revealed before others find out. What will it be SC, what will it be?
I agree with Lisa's comment. Let's see a virtual tour of this palatial kitchen. Can't see anything from these pictures. It sounds too good to miss.
SC, you totally rock. :)
What is a foyer? ;)
I will agree with you SC….a walk-in pantry is definitely a huge factor in my dream kitchen!
Thanks for uploading the larger pictures, SC. I want this kitchen! The layout is great, design is beautiful. I just need to figure out how to rebuild my tiny house to fit around this great kitchen. :)
Alright…Viva Daisy's kitchen it totally to die for! It's bright, spacious and cheerful. Needless to say I'm totally jealous! However, I think my favorite and perhaps the kitchen that most reflects my personality is Rachael Ray's. I adore the retro look and funky appliances and of course all of the funky dishes. Plus I'm a sucker for anything green and orange!
I can not wait for the return of "VIVA DAISY'. Thank you so much FN for bringing this brilliant chef and her show back on for another season. Only request: More than 6 episodes soon please!
I LOVE the basket weave-look kitchen tiles in Daisy's studio kitchen. Any ideas on where I can find it? I have shopped around my rather large city and I cannot find it. Who is the maker of the tiles?
You might try Akdo or Sonoma.
I just redid my kitchen with Wintercloud Marble. I am pretty sure this kitchen is Wintercloud also. Am I right?[polldaddy 5762045 http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll/5762045/ polldaddy]

Summer, Winter Sky Color
Name: Joanne P. Status: student Age: 12 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 1/30/2004
In the summer, the sky seems to be bright blue. But in winter, the sky seems to be most often white. Why is this? What makes the sky in the summer a different color than in the winter? Does it have anything to do with the weather; such as temperature, cloud cover, or precipitation?
First some background on this subject.
Ice crystals, water vapor, and particles (pollen, pollution, etc.) scatter light, mostly red light, leaving the blue wavelengths for us to see. The greater the amount of water and particles in the air, the more the blue wavelengths of light are scattered also. On a very hazy or humid day the sky looks pale blue or even almost white in an extreme case, since most wavelengths of sunlight are being scattered almost equally. That is also why during a clear day (at any time of year) the sky straight above you is bluer than the sky at the horizon; the light coming down to you from straight above you has passed through less air and therefore less scattering of the light in all but the blue wavelengths has occurred. The light coming from the horizon has passed through more air and so more of the blue wavelengths have also been scattered out.
Now we get to your questions.
"What makes the sky in the summer a different color than in the winter?" There are at least two reasons.
First, during winter, in very cold air, ice particles and supercooled water droplets can form easily. They are not dense enough to form a cloud or to be visibly seen, but they are very good at scattering light of all wavelengths (all colors), something like on a humid summer day, which can make the sky less blue and even make it appear almost white.
Still, the sky above you will be more blue than the sky at the horizon, but not as blue as during the summer.
Second, during winter, the troposphere (the lower layer of air where our weather occurs) is not as deep as it is in the summer (meaning that there are fewer ice crystals, water droplets, and particles to scatter light); therefore less red light is scattered out and the sky does not look as blue.
"Does it have anything to do with the weather; such as temperature, cloud cover, or precipitation?"
Temperature is only indirectly responsible; more ice crystals and supercooled water droplets can occur in winter's cold temperatures. Certainly, if it is cloudy, the sky will appear white. If it is snowing, which it can do even when it is partly cloudy or even if it is clear but extremely cold (the latter are actually ice crystals formed in cloud free air instead of from clouds), the snow or ice crystals will scatter a lot of light, making the sky less blue.

Perficient To Showcase Financial Services Technology Expertise At BAI Retail Delivery Conference
Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT), a leading information technology consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers throughout North America, today announced it will attend the 2012 BAI Retail Delivery conference held Oct. 9-11, in Washington, D.C. BAI Retail Delivery is the industry's premier event for the best thinking, research and strategic insights that have an immediate impact on retail banking. As experts in retail banking technology solutions, Perficient will discuss strategies financial institutions can employ to better understand customer needs through data integration and optimization of systems, leveraging mobile solutions, and cost cutting measures through collaboration tools.
"The financial services industry is on the heels of one of the most difficult economic slowdowns this generation has experienced. Retail banks face an entirely new competitive landscape, one that sees increased regulatory requirements and demands for improved efficiencies around functions like payments, transaction processing and data security," said David Hastoglis, Perficient's Financial Services National Business Group practice executive. "As non-traditional competitors emerge, retail banks that recognize the power information technology solutions can play in helping to address these challenges will experience growth and success. It's just a matter of knowing where to start."
Perficient industry experts will be on hand in Booth #1268 to help bank executives better understand the changing retail banking landscape. Specifically, Perficient can discuss solutions including: Big Data and analytics, which can help banks gain a 360-degree view of their customers; portal and content management solutions that enable better institutional collaboration, efficient communication, and business decision making; and mobile banking solutions, which drive improved customer loyalty and engagement.
In conjunction with BAI Retail Delivery, Perficient will offer its recently-released white paper "Mobile Payments in the Banking Industry" to help bank executives address the mobile banking trend. This whitepaper provides six key considerations for financial institutions looking to drive a successful mobile payments strategy. The whitepaper is also available for download via www.perficient.com/bai.
"One of the biggest trends we're seeing in retail banking today is the growing use of smart phones to enable consumers' desire for self-service as well as the growing adoption of mobile wallets as a preferred method of payment for consumers," said Mike Panzarella, director of industry solutions for Perficient's Financial Services National Business Group. "Banks have to interact with the customer in a way the customer prefers, and as a result, they must optimize their mobile offerings in order to compete and stay relevant. This whitepaper is designed to help retail bank executives frame their mobile banking strategies against the industry in general, and ensure they're providing a positive customer experience that will drive engagement and increase loyalty."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
