Very good
It was fair value for the money. The manager was very helpful when I left something behind. I asked for a change to a first floor room because my back was very sore, and got it, even though they were busy.
Carpet was rather stained. Other than that, it was very clean.
I really liked the bright non-smoking room, my first impression was refreshing. It was simple clean and up to date for an old style motel. Especially well located for visiting Southern Oregon University.
Free breakfast was minimal, coffee, tea, bananas, juice, English muffin. Adequate but no great shakes, no milk for the cereal I brought with me. The shower did not seem to function so I took a bath.
very comfortable beds, very clean, great access to coffee, all-round great place
would recommend choosing a 2nd floor room as our ground floor room was a little noisy because of active guests above us.
Probably one of the best bang-for-your-buck hotels in Ashland.
My only issue is the bed was a little hard for my taste.
Friendly staff and nice accommodations.
Too far away to go back anytime soon...
Clean and neat. Front desk help at night and in morning was top quality. Helpful and friendly.
Nothing. We don't have a single complaint. And we had a horrible experience at a Motel 6 a few days ago. No comparison.
Location. Bed was comfortable and room was clean.
Parking was limited in front of motel.
Close to downtown. I like having a microwave and fridge. Great front desk staff. good value. clean room, lots of space.
I could hear people in other rooms.If there is a way to book people in rooms above empty rooms below, please do. my upstairs neighbors were very noisy. Meager breakfast offerings. cold cereal and milk, more fruit selections, and muffins would be a nice addition.
The guy working was very nice, everything was clean. The location was perfect. Out cars were in a safe place.
The breakfast was an english muffin, coffee and orange juice.
Conveniently located next to Southern Oregon University and the room was comfortable and clean. Front desk gentleman was helpful.
While this hotel is an Ashland icon, it is old and the walls, windows and doors do not represent the best in structure. Very easy to hear people talking outside while I'm trying to sleep.
This is an older motel that has been well maintained. It's clean and within a very short walk of 3 good eateries. Close to university as well.
Nothing serious.
Reasonable price. Very nice and convenient.
Not a thing. We will stay there again.
I love your bed...very comfortable.
There was a recycle bin outside our room...That's so noisy..
Excellent value! And they accept dogs (free of charge).
The kind office staff made our holiday visit special. Aaron is especially a gem of a fellow, who just makes you feel right at home and happy to be at the Timbers. The room is perfectly set up for travelers: clean, with real closets, sturdy fixtures, counter space in the bathroom, hooks, drawers and a comfortable furnishings. Enough room to even do morning yoga! I enjoyed the bedspread to the smell of the soap! Our room also had a bonus- a breathtaking view of Mt. Ashland when the clouds cleared. Thank you Timbers for making our holiday fantastic!
The Great American Pizza Company right next door is AMAZING!!!
Their continental breakfast consisted of bananas & bagels with butter. Towards the end of our week-long stay, they did bring out english muffins but that's it. We had to buy breakfast every morning which put me over my budget, it was very disappointing. I chose this hotel for the king size bed & the free breakfast.
Truly pet friendly as in no cost for pets. Best Wi-Fi we have had in a motel. A great place for an overnight on a long trip.
For the price, I can't complain about anything. Excellent value
This was an awesome deal! The hotel is in a great location and it was everything we needed. It is simple, basic and bargain.
It was reasonably priced, It had a continental breakfast that was fine, the rooms were clean and recently refurbished, the bed was comfortable.The heat worked.
The room I booked on booking.com was a King bed, however there is a lack of coordination between the hotel and booking.com and they did not have a King bed when we arrived. The room was newly refurbished which was very nice, however the doorknob to the bathroom kept falling off. The walls are paper thin and the hotel is noisy until everyone is asleep. The deadbolt did not operate on the room. Our block of rooms was specifically no animals allowed, however our next door neighbors brought in 2 huge dogs, so if you are allergic, don't trust that the room was not housing dogs. Way too far to walk to downtown Ashland. No decor in room, but new furnishings.
Nice big room. Incredibly helpful and friendly night clerk on 11/26/14. A little off the freeway but not difficult to find.
No handicap accessible room available even asking when making the reservation
Bed comfortable
Cleanliness; Heating system needed instructions, Carpet stained, not clean

8 Stocks Ripping Higher on Big Volume
SXC Health Solutions
SXC Health Solutions (SXCI) is a provider of pharmacy benefit management services and healthcare information technology solutions to the healthcare benefit management industry. This stock is trading up 2.5% at $101.72 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 971,000
Average Volume: 1.2 million Volume % Change: 65%. >>5 Rocket Stocks Worth Buying in July From a technical perspective, SXCI is ripping higher here with decent volume. This move has briefly pushed SXCI into breakout territory, since shares bumped above some near-term overhead resistance at $103.97. At last check, SXCI has hit an intraday high of $104.79 and volume is just a bit below its three-month average action of 1.2 million shares. Traders should now look for long-biased trades if SXCI is trending above $103.97 and its daily high of $104.79 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 1.2 million shares as bullish. Look for SXCI to sustain a move or close above those levels to signal it wants to go higher.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

There was a time when the clocks all stopped
When the world just went away
I didn't know if it was night or day
I didn't know if there were clouds or fire in the sky
I didn't wanna live if I could die
Somewhere down the line I found myself up on that road
Where the devil led me, I would go
I had sold my soul for pleasure, thinkin' it would last
All my hopes had vanished in the past
Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark
Driftin' away with the tide
God only knows how I made it back home
I must have an angel on my side
In the mornin' I'd wake up and shake my weary head
Wonder where I'd been and what I'd said
Was I on the River Styx for all eternity?
Would I drown forever in the sea?
Why did anyone keep livin', what was there to find?
I wanted just a little peace of mind
Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark
Driftin' away with the tide
God only knows how I made it back home
I must have an angel on my side
Never had a flash of lightnin' comin' right at me
One day I just know I woke up free
The day was breakin', I was livin', I couldn't tell you why
First I laughed and then I learned to cry
Somethin' in my heart was sayin' you can reach the sky
You just gotta live until you die
Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark
Driftin' away with the tide
God only knows how I made it back home
I must have an angel on my side
I must have an angel, I must have an angel
I must have an angel on my side

This is the most dependable service I have ever experienced. I play several on-line games and always have the best ping response on the servers that I frequent. We also stream Netflix and other online subscriptions through a Roku box. Get the service, if you can. You will not be disappointed.

terrible internet customer care and tech support
Don't waste your time or money. they are no competition for the big guys. I have had a problem with my internet since i got them over six months ago. they can't fix it and keep 'blowing me off.' it works fine for a week then drops out again and again and again. they have been to my house half a dozen times. then said it was a IP conflict issue and when it started up again Oh, I guess that wasn't it.. why don't we hard wire it and see if its a wireless issue? what the hell? how long do i have to waste my time? I rely on the internet for classes, research and pay bills. I will be in the middle of something and it drops and restarts. very frustrating. writing the FCC and get out of the miserable two year contract for crap service.

What other options did you consider for broadband
A) None. Always wanted Surewest.
What SPEED/package did you order, at what monthly price?
A) Originally ordered the 10/10 but was informed that the 20/20 was available for $51 a month for the year. Of course, went with the 20/20!
How was the order & install process?
A) Seamless. All the Utility companies marked their underground cables the same day that Surewest came out to bury the Fiber to the side of the house. Next day service was installed.
What brand/model was the supplied equipment?
A) Residential Gateway and APC setup. House brand DVR.
What good or bad experiences most struck you?
A) None really. Everything went smooth and service is well, fast! I realize it has only been a day, but I am excited like a schoolgirl!
All three parts of the Triple-play are going strong.
The DVR is functioning better than it was prior to several updates being applied.
The Tech support and Service reps are attentive to the needs of the customer.
Well, Surewest topped themselves by lowering the cost of their tiers and raising speeds.
I just got the upgraded 25/25 speed tier, it is fantastic! More HD channels being added soon.
Just had the new MediaRoom dvr and two STB's installed. The channel switching is fast. Watching recorded programs from other rooms works flawlessly.
Much better than old DVR.
Well, my time with the video portion of Surewest is at an end. I purchased an HD LCD tv and hooked up the STB with an HDMI cable only to have to go round and round with Tech Support and finally realizing (their engineers that is) that only Component cables will work as the STB does all the processing. I am tired of being the Guinea pig for Surewest video. The Tech support person said just wait, there are updates coming. Well, after hearing that for two years, I am done! Directv here I come.
I just made the switch to Directv and couldn't be happier.
Upgraded to the 50meg speed tier. Could not be happier. Tried to have the TV portion of the service installed, no joy at all. They do not have half the HD channels that Directv does.
Called and upgrade to the 100/100 tier. Effortless and fast. CCI is handling their business in a positive way.

I moved to an area served by ATT, Time Warner Cable and Surewest. ATT offered capped Uverse with a contract, not much upload speed with a price that was not attractive. Time Warner wanted to sell me "all the best" however I was tired of their poor HD cable quality and slow upload speeds.
Surewest offered me digital cable, an HD DVR with dual tuners and 25mb symmetric internet service for a little over $101 a month after "fees" and taxes.
In most cases the connection is very speedy, with no problem getting the full advertised download speed. However when uploading it seems the speeds drop. I still get well beyond anything cable or dsl offer, just not the full speed I know the line can do.
Beyond that issue I am more than pleased with the stability of the connection. Ping times to various servers are usually below 10ms.
www.speedtest.net/result/1327937 ··· 7818.png
September 10, 2011 - update
Solid, stable connection. Insanely low ping times to most servers and sites. Would love a free speed upgrade while maintaining current cost.
July 14 2012 - update
Dropped cable TV, DVR, etc since I barely used it. Switched over to 50/50 for $100 a month for a year.
speedtest.net/result/2057520415. ··· 0415.png
Do I miss cable television service? No. Nothing on was worth watching. Netflix and Amazon Instant Video both work very well on the higher speed service however.
Routing and latency are the same, and have been stable for the most part. I do not use their DNS however, it has too many problems. Virtually all other connection failures can be traced to my hardware, so once I got the DNS issue taken care of it's been very stable and steady with the occasional router issue that is solved by a reboot of the router.
September 23 2012 - update
Price was lowered to $59 a month plus fees and taxes. I'm able to go faster than many sites can handle, so if I have a download that is not at the full speed of the connection I am often not too worried about it. On most speed tests I am able to get over 50mb down and at least 48 up. I can now upload HD video to Youtube without spending 4+ hours waiting for the upload to complete.
Google Fiber is looming big in the area though....
October 2014
100/100 for $100/month - no contract. Took a phone call, a short outage and the speed was 100/100. The company has changed owners and is now know called "CCI". Customer service is less robust or well trained, tech support quality has dropped considerably.

Found out that Surewest does have a 400GB cap, but they will only enforce it if people call in complaining of slow speeds. We do 1-2TB a month without any issues currently. Speeds have still been great, just wish they would bump up the speeds just a bit, paying $146 right now for 50/5 and basic TV.
When first signed up, was in a 1 year contract for ~$140 a month, but after contract was up, price jumped to ~$260 a month. Called and signed up for a new contract plus ordered 2 more HD cable boxes and a newer DVR (with a bigger drive, 320GB now) for ~$150 a month. They have enabled whole home DVR which is very nice, but other than the main DVR box, they can't pause live TV like u-verse. Internet speeds are still amazing, still getting 50/5. Wishing for something faster still, 50Mbps with 3 roommates is not fast enough. User well over 1TB a month and never been told to stop as well. Got a few of my friends that can get Surewest to switch, and they as well say it is far better than TWC/U-verse.
Called the local Surewest office here in Kansas City to setup a time for internet. Wanted to get 50/5 but it was $210 a month, but if we added basic cable, the price dropped to $120 a month for 12 months. Called Monday afternoon and had a appointment for 12-5pm Friday. Guy showed up at around 1pm, ran some line test outside and the local loops inside the house. By 2pm, internet was setup and he stayed to make sure we got the full 50/5 service. Got a Cisco D3010 modem and used my own Linksys 4200 router. Modem connects using 8 downstream channels and 2 upstream. Speeds are 50/5 24/7 and have never dropped below it.
TV service is ok, not the greatest HD picture, it is worse than TWC which we had before. DVR only has a 160GB drive. They say home DVR service is coming soon but no dates yet.
Overall, Surewest has been great for us, internet is FAR better than the 15/1 service I had with TWC and a lot lower latency and less downtime.

I previously had Xfinity Internet Services installed at my mobile home, but my roommate is unemployed and I am going to school and our bill was about to jump to almost $150. We got a flyer in the mail that said Surewest DSL and Digital phone for $48. They said free 2 months of Internet included and a $100 prepaid Visa after 45 days. We called around the week of the 14th and got it installed on Tuesday the 20th. They initially sent 2 techs out to check the wiring and then later that day, the main tech came out to do the install. Because the wires were so old in the home, the tech had to run a new line from outside but everything looked flush , neat and tidy and not a mess. Then he setup our DSL Modem and Netgear Wireless Router and even installed a battery backup in the event our power was to go out. Everything worked fine and dandy when the install was done, but the next day I experienced severe rebooting issues with the DSL Modem. We called customer support and got someone within seconds of calling and we expressed our concern about the service. Surewest tried to dispatch a tech out that morning, but told us it would be guaranteed the next day if they could not escalate it further. To our surprise the same tech we had from the previous day came out early in the morning to check out the modem. Initial tests showed a bad modem according to the tech. It was replaced, so once he replaced the modem, everything started to work again. Then later that evening the service was acting up again with severe rebooting. The tech came out the day after that , and said everything checked out on their end and they could not do anything anymore about it , so they escalated to a supervisor. They had a team of a few people come out around Thursday including the Supervisor who found that the main phone box in the mobile hoome park contained issues due to a flood that happened the previous year. They did some diagnostics and repairs and once everything was done, they told me the would be monitoring our line for any inconsistincies and if something happened they would come back out and fix it until its finally fixed. I call this dedication. So far after the repairs took place there was no instability of the services, so
The price of our first bill was only 22 bucks, and its going to be a little more then the 48 listed after the promo period for 2 months free internet , because we wanted the best speed we could get out here and that and my roommate wanted Digital 500 instead of 300 so we could get voicemail features. The thing that impressed us the most about Surewest's customer service is that they are locally based in Roseville, and everytime we called, we got a polite, corteous rep that spoke clear english in less then a minute. With our previous company we were lucky if we were transferred within 5 minutes and they would always send our calls to foreign countries.
So far 6 megs is working out smoothly and the phone quality is great but we don't use it that much to talk on the phone as we have it setup for other purposes. And we will get a prepaid card after 45 days.
I'm very happy to have Surewest as my local Internet Service Provider, and suggest if anyone is looking for a local company see if you can get them first before any other provider.

Switched from AT&T (SBC) that I had 6mb DSL and phone line - save $30 per month have upto 18Mb fiber and the phone line. I stream any TV so didn't want or need that package. I do get more responsive web traffic and games with the same old PC. The phone line is clear and CID works - all I care about.
They are limited access since they lay their own network and don't rely on the LEC or cable co's for last mile. No Caps, no hidden fees, no problems so far. BUT you must have a power source for them to run the router outside off of - the UPS is in my garage by where the router is - he had to drill a hole but then caulked it back up after running the cord.

I had no idea how good I had it until we started planning a move and I saw what things were like elsewhere. We started out with 15/15 3 years ago and now have 30/30 with fiber to the house. Our service has never gone down. We also have phone service with them and it's been rock solid. In addition, they host an annual barbecue for the community, where we've won things, and they even rented out a movie theatre to give their customers a chance to watch Up, and we won a free tickets to the Sacramento State Fair. Overall, I'm a happy customer.
The only negative is that they keep raising prices little by little - a few bucks here and there adds up. When the bill has gone up because our discount was up, I've called saying I was thinking of canceling (though I really wasn't) and they've always given me another discount for the next 12 months, though it's gotten harder.
I have no idea what their cable service is like - we've never used it.

I had Time Warner in the Kansas City, KS area a few years back. It
didn't matter what channel I'd be on, I would experience heavy
interference and pixelization. Even some of the on-demand was heavily
Calling customer service was a major hassle. With high
hold times and having to repeat my situation repeatedly forced me having
to switch to AT&T uVerse.
While AT&T uVerse services are more
expensive, the quality of service was much better than Time Warner. I've
been impressed by AT&T's customer service. It's improved several fold
since the Southwestern Bell days (which were hellish to put it mildly).
Unfortunately, it didn't warrant me paying $150 a month for 3Mbps
Internet and 4-way DVR through AT&T.
A few days ago, I switched to
SureWest (which bought out Everest Cable) here in the Lenexa, KS area.
So far, quality of service is far superior to Time Warner. I signed up
for the 15Mbps Internet and 2-way DVR for $94 promotional ($120 after
said period).
Both AT&T and Time Warner charge you rental and
equipment fees each month for the DVR and the gateway. However, SureWest
doesn't charge for equipment fees. They even provide you a router for
free. The only caveat is that the router is locked down tighter than a
chastity lock. The tech who set up me told me that they are coming out
with a different router that would be more flexible. In the interim, I
am still able to use my own router. The only port they block I'm aware
of is port 25 (to prevent spammers from hijacking SureWest's email
servers). I can still run my own personal web server.
I was up and
running within a half hour of the tech's arrival. I was able to get both
my laptop and iPhone connected with no problems. And very reliable thus
far. The Cisco 8652 HDC was easy to set up, the interface is clean. But,
the iTVi interface appears to be disabled (the yellow A triangle button
has no response).

Check your tower proximity and the coverage map. I have a tower 1 mile away with no major obstructions - so it's working for me. It's not as solid as the SureWest DSL but I was glad to get rid of them. The monopoly they had in this area (Roseville, CA) went on for too long. Like many of you, I don't need a home phone anymore, SureWest wanted to charge me almost the same ($58 vs $61) for 3mbps DSL only. I'm tired of paying for other people's annual 'cost of living increases' and benefits! When I cancelled (I went to their office), they did not even ask why - not surprised considering the track record. Anyway, seems they were just purchased by another company (Consolidated Communications). If the new owners 'smell the coffee' and get competitive I may go back. For now, I'm getting exactly what I want / need, with faster Internet (6mbps), no contract, portability, decent service and I'm saving a few bucks a month.
Btw, going to 6mbps with SureWest would have cost a lot more and since i'm not wired, they would have had to run ethernet cable, which they typically just run ugly wire along the side of your house and bore a hole in your wall for an access point - no thanks!

Plugged the CleaWire home modem into my wireless router, did not have to change the device logins which was fantastic. Had to call their CS once and then again to up the speed from 3-6 ($15 more and considerable diff in performance) although the 3 would have been OK and I might switch back in a few months.

Boly:Welch was founded in 1986 based on a close connection between Diane Boly and Pat Welch. The two had worked together at another recruitment firm and shared certain core values: passion for their work, a sense of humor, a commitment to their community and a desire to create a healthy, nurturing work environment. They merged their connections and values to form a new business and, in the process, leveraged existing networks to create one of the foremost recruiting companies in the region. Twenty-seven years later, having survived the recent recession without layoffs or cutbacks, Boly:Welch is thriving. Happily entrenched in their newly refurbished home in Portland's Public Service Building, the firm is better positioned than ever to serve the employment needs of its growing client list. "We've experienced 25% growth in the last year – an outgrowth of demand from existing clients and new ones," says Boly. "We've built up trust with our clients, so that when they need just the right fit, they can count on us for the perfect candidate." |

The Broken Lands
A Novel of Arctic Disaster

The Broken Lands-a treacherous labyrinth of ice through which the fabled Northwest Passage was sought for centuries. Cabot, Frobisher, Hudson, Parry and Ross were all defeated, and the names on the maps testify to their despair: Bay of God's Mercy, the Devil's Cape, Savage Isles, and Repulse Bay.
Determined to succeed where the rest had failed, Sir John Franklin-"the Lion of the Arctic"-set sail from Greenland in 1845. His two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, were last sighted in August of that year, after which the entire expedition-all 135 men-disappeared.
For three years, the two ships were trapped in the Arctic ice. Eventually the slow vise of the ice pack and spoiling provisions proved to be too much. Nothing was heard of Franklin's expedition for over a decade, and only many years later did the world begin to learn of their terrible, agonizing fate. In this enthralling, richly inventive novel, Robert Edric recreates what possibly happened to this doomed expedition.
Robert Edric is the author of several acclaimed novels. The Broken Lands is the first of his novels to be published in America. He currently lives in East Yorkshire.

"Enlightenment is always sudden. It is grace; when the conditions are right, it happens. But the path leading up to that moment is gradual. We practice, we create the field, we prepare the ground, and the mind eventually opens suddenly and spontaneously. Then again, after sudden awakening can come a gradual cultivation and ripening of the enlightened mind."
- Joseph Goldstein
The online meditation course has been hosted here since 1997. Our 12 week course provides a clear and practical introduction to tranquillity and insight practices originating in the Theravada tradition of Buddhism but beneficial to all. The course is usually offered in January, April and September each year. Our next course begins on April 11th. Please join us.
All of the documents on this site take their lead from the Pali Canon; the most authoritative record and guide to the historical Buddha's teachings. They are part of a living spiritual tradition that continues to flourish after two and a half millennia. These documents provide contextual background for our meditation practice.
We are an independent site promoting a balanced approach to the practice of meditation. We aim to offer resources to help nurture and sustain a fulfilling and effective meditation practice.
In addition to presenting the core texts of early Buddhism we are developing an online library featuring some of the finest modern writing on meditation.
Our newsletter contains details of our new courses and items of interest to those meditating in the vipassana and samatha traditions.
What is vipassana?
In the Pali language of the early Buddhist texts, vipassana means insight. It is often used to describe one of the two main categories of Buddhist meditation (the other being samatha or tranquillity).
What is Theravada Buddhism?
The southern form of Buddhism now found mainly in Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar. It is the oldest living tradition and its core teachings are based on the word of the Buddha as found in the earliest texts.
Are your courses only for Buddhists?
Definitely not! Most of our participants are not Buddhist. We always have a wide range of people of many different faiths (and of no faith) on our courses. We explain the context in which these particular meditation practices developed but our aim is to help people to learn to meditate, in a clear and systematic way, to see if it is useful in their lives - whatever their existing beliefs.

Why Foot Locker (FL) Stock Continues to Advance Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Foot Locker (FL - Get Report) are up 3.50% to $54.41 on very heavy trading volume after the retailer of shoes and apparel earlier reported second quarter sales and profit that beat analysts' estimates.
Earnings were up 39% to 64 cents per share, excluding some items.
See why Foot Locker's strength is likely to continue in the second half of the year:

Stocks TO Buy: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn More. The company's revenue was up 13% to $1.64 billion in the quarter, above the $1.57 billion analysts projected. Net income was $92 million, or 63 cents per share, from $66 million, or 44 cents. Same-store sales increased 7%, while analysts predicted a 5.4% gain, based on Consensus Metrix estimates. TheStreet Ratings team rates FOOT LOCKER INC as a Buy with a ratings score of A+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate FOOT LOCKER INC (FL) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance, growth in earnings per share and increase in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins."

Before Sunday night, Steven Adams' stiffest competition this preseason had been Spencer Hawes, an underachieving former lottery pick who's spent much of his career toiling on terrible teams.
OKC Thunder: Chalk up another one for Steven Adams
There have been brief bouts with a few other notables, like Denver center JaVale McGee and New Orleans post man Anthony Davis.
But by and large, Adams had yet to face top flight competition, something that quietly clouded encouraging performances he assembled in three of the Thunder's first four exhibition games.
That all changed Sunday night, however, and turned an otherwise painful preseason slugfest against Utah into a must-see matchup.
It was Adams versus Enes Kanter, the third overall pick in 2011 who is widely projected to establish himself as a premier player now that he's free from Al Jefferson's smothering shadow.
And by the time the final buzzer had sounded, signaling the end to Oklahoma City's 88-82 victory over the rebuilding Jazz, you could score another one for Adams.
The 12th overall selection out of Pittsburgh continued his impressive preseason by starting in place of Kendrick Perkins (dislocated finger) and dominating Kanter for the 18 minutes they were matched up.
In the time he shared the court with Kanter, Adams scored four points with seven rebounds (three offensive), two blocked shots — both coming against Kanter — and one steal.
Kanter mustered just two points on 1-for-5 shooting with two rebounds and one foul in that time.
"He's been giving us good minutes," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "I thought he had another active game. He needs to continue to play like that."
Adams finished with six points and a game-high 10 rebounds, his second-straight double digit rebounding game. In five preseason games, Adams is averaging 13.6 rebounds per 36 minutes. For context, Dwight Howard's career high is 13.9 rebounds per 36 minutes.
Numbers like those will only amplify the call by Adams supporters for the rookie to receive regular season minutes.

Latest Predicting the timing of peak oil Stories
U.S. oil output is set to surpass that of Saudi Arabia and Russia by 2017, reaching levels high enough to make the country nearly energy independent, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Monday in its annual World Energy Outlook report.
In a finding that may speed efforts to conserve oil and intensify the search for alternative fuel sources, scientists in Kuwait predict that world conventional crude oil production will peak in 2014 — almost a decade earlier than some other predictions.
Newly-released videotaped remarks reinforce statements by senior petroleum industry officials about looming world oil supply constraints DENVER, Nov.
The IEA World Energy Outlook has highlighted longer term supply side constraints, despite the precipitous correction in world oil prices of late, as current depletion rates outstrip future demand.
By Bahgat, Gawdat Since the early 2000s oil prices have more than tripled (Fig. 1).
By Edwin S. Robinson Why are fuel prices rising? To a large extent the price is set by supply and demand. The following discussion is about supply.

8 Ways To Battle Rising Mortgage Rates
An improving housing market is great for the economy but not necessarily for first-time homebuyers. According to HSH.com,
mortgage rates rose from 3.49 percent in May up to 4.69 percent in August.
While rising mortgage rates certainly make transactions more expensive, they shouldn't deter your purchase. Here are eight ways you can buy a home despite higher mortgage rates:
No. 1: Make a bigger down payment
A larger down payment can ease the pain of housing payments, says Jim McQuaig, branch manager of Churchill Mortgage in Herndon, Va. "Not only are you financing a lower balance, but if you make a down payment of 20 percent, you eliminate private mortgage insurance (PMI)."
For example, a 30-year, $250,000 loan at 4.5 percent with a 20 percent down payment ($50,000) has a monthly payment of $1,353, says McQuaig. That same purchase with a down payment of 5 percent ($12,500) will cost $1,666 per month, including PMI.
No. 2: Pay points
"You can lower your mortgage rate and your payments by paying one or two discount points," says Clint Madison, senior mortgage banker with Envoy Mortgage in Walnut Creek, Calif. One discount point brings down your rate by about 0.25 percent, he says. For example, on a $350,000 purchase with a down payment of 5 percent ($17,500), paying one point ($3,325) would lower the rate from 4.875 to 4.625 percent and reduce the monthly payment from $1,760 to $1,710, says Madison. Applying the extra $3,325 to the down payment instead would generate a payment of $1,741.No. 3: Equity sharing
Equity-share arrangements can be made with parents, investors or friends, says McQuaig. "You can negotiate an equity share deal in which the parents put in the cash for the down payment that's repaid when the home sells along with a share in the profit," he says. "For instance, if the investors make a 20 percent down payment on a $200,000 home, they'll get $40,000 back along with 20 percent of the equity in the home."No. 4: Switch loan products
Many buyers opt for an FHA mortgage because of the 3.5 percent down payment requirement, but FHA mortgage insurance is higher than PMI, says Madison. If you come up with another 1.5 percent for a 5 percent down conventional loan, your monthly payments will be much lower, he says. "A $350,000 purchase with an FHA loan at an interest rate of 4.125 percent will cost $2,482 per month including principal, interest, taxes, insurance and mortgage insurance," says Madison. "With a 5 percent down payment and a conventional loan interest rate of 4.875 percent, the monthly payment will be $2,357."No. 5: Shorter terms
Interest rates on 15-year mortgages are lower than 30-year mortgages, but few first-time buyers can afford the higher payments, says McQuaig. "A better choice, particularly for buyers who don't intend to stay in their home for long, would be a 5/1, 7/1 or 10/1 ARM, which have a lower interest rate than a fixed-rate loan," says McQuaig.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

As an avid lover of la langue française, I am a huge fan of finding all things French related. Brainscape's top rated French Vocabulary and French Verb Conjugations apps have helped thousands of learners improve French, but it's always great to look into supplementary study materials.
That was why I jumped on the opportunity to review the massive body of popular French language learning YouTube channels. YouTube is a huge resource for learning about many different things, languages included.
Here are the Top 10 French YouTube channels I found (you can find the top Spanish YouTube channels here):
1.imagiers.net: With 14,988 subscribers, this channel has a lot of videos, 49,685 to be exact. They're all on different things, quizzes, vocabulary, grammar, but some of them are ridiculous. This channel has a video of 20,000 vocabulary words, running over 13 hours in length. .
2. jremy7: Jremy7 gives "Basic French lessons", explaining the intricacies of the French language to the viewer. I like the shortness of the lessons, which are 4 -10 minutes each, and it helps that he pronounces everything Top 10 YouTube Channels to Learn Spanishcorrectly. In some lessons he even uses a white board to write things out.
3. Learn French: Frenchpod101.com has short videos of vocabulary words and random phrases followed by a short quiz on the lesson. It's in a radio talk show format structured around everyday dialogues presented by a native French speaker and a native English speaker. They also have an entire website that has more resources; however, though they advertise it as free, there are fees that pop up here and there. I would just stick to their videos.
4. JeFrench.com: This channel is much less structured with no themes and follows no logical order as it jumps from pronouns to conjugating random "-er" verbs. It is presented in a very simple format so that there are no distracting pictures or colors anywhere.
5. lsfrnch: The frenchspanishonline.com channel is for people who like reading PowerPoints. In most of the lessons, there are pages with all the words written up as the speaker, in a thick French accent, reads the words while highlighting them irritatingly with his mouse.
6. thefrenchguy3000: This is a hilarious channel led by a guy who is NOT in fact French. The combination of him trying to be cool, his French with a weird twang, plus his random anecdotes makes it a very Top 10 YouTube Channels to Learn Spanishamusing experience from which you can still learn something. If anything, check this guy out because as he says in the video "Anyone Can speak French (2) "la plage"': "I truly believe in my heart of hearts that anyone can speak French." His enthusiasm is breathtaking.
7. French by Phone: Frenchbyphone.com teaches with this sweet French woman named Jacqueline who instructs almost completely in French with English subtitles here and there. One thing that must be noted is that while this is a popular channel, she does not go over basic grammar and vocabulary. So if you are lost, it might be better to go to another channel so you can learn those rules before coming here.
8. Learn a Language by learnalanguage: I question why this channel is one of the more popular channels. Steven, who is the teacher, speaks softly and slightly unclearly at times, and teaches grammar and vocabulary, followed by a sentence construction. I only wish he had some visuals on the screen rather than just the lesson number
These last two are general language channels very helpful all the same!
9. Learn Languages: The accent of the teacher is not very good but the lessons start with general conversation. Words are introduced then followed by a mini-test. It goes kind of fast but, you are encouraged to write the words down, not just speak them. What I like about this channel is that the videos are divided into different themes AND the teacher usually always does a recap of the previous lesson. Not bad!
10. The Radio Lingua Network: On this channel, CoffeeBreak French!, the user learns with Anna, the student, who is instructed by Mark, the teacher. This duo is so enthusiastic and helpful as they situate each lesson in different parts of Paris, that you can't help but feel that you are undertaking a foreign journey with them.
These are just YouTube channels that I've gathered, so if you know of any other channels, feel free to comment and let us know about it!

Find a cornerback
Find someone who know how to Draft secondary players (serious BB sucks at this)
Whatever happened to that Wilson guy we drafted?
Not to mention we have only a few picks because of some questionable trades...
Keep Talib, try and keep Welker.
i think talib should be kept if possible and maybe pick up a medicine man for gronk,he would be useful playoff time.welker stays then the draft should be scoured for defensive help.
Welker goes, sign Vollmer, franchise Talib. Draft DLine. This team just is not as hungry as other teams, I have a bad feeling that this run may be over.
Eat Lobster
Josh Boyer...
What division are the 5AA lmao, he's one problem.He served as the defensive coordinator at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 2005 before joining the Patriots in 2006 as a defensive coaching assistant. He was promoted to defensive backs coach following the 2008 season. In 2012, his title was changed to cornerbacks coach.
A guy i wouldn't mind drafting is Johnathan Banks...6'3'' corner back, pretty solid
Sponsored Links |
Hire lovie Smith as our Dc
Wilson is ok for a rookie, but if he gotten more snaps he'd get the Kyle Arrington treatment. He's a ballhawk but can easily get beat.
I still believe the Pats need Welker. If I had to pick between Welker and Vollmer I'd say to keep Wes. Upgrade the O-line. Can a physical, sized player in the secondary. Possibly some sort of LB/DB combo player who can defend the pass. I would love to have Browner on this team. Some vertical speed on the outside is all we need from the skill positions are fine and if anyone is complaining about Brady being done gtfo.
Hopefully we can get a 3rd and 5th for Mallet and a 6th/7th.
Call me out if you'd like, but I don't want Talib. The guy is made out of glass and I don't want to pay him 5m+/year so he can play part of a season and then break down before the playoffs
Our luck is ridiculously bad. Besides the BAL missed FG and non TD last year, nothing has gone our way in the post season.
I got nominated. It was either him or Edelman and I wasn't sure if Edelman would even make the team at the time.
There ya go.
If the Seahawks can find Richard freakin Sherman in the 5th round, I'm pretty sure we can get some talent as well. I just don't want to overpay on a guy and then have to put all of our hopes and dreams on him and pray he doesn't break down at some point. Like a tall physical WR, I'd like some tall DBs. Besides our Oline and Brady, it seems like everyone on this team is short lol
