Wild announce 6-game 2013-14 preseason schedule
JUL 10, 2013 1:34p ET
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- It might be July and the middle of the summer with the
Minnesota Wild conducting their development camp, but the team announced its preseason schedule on Wednesday proving the season isn't too far off.
Minnesota opens the preseason with a home game Sept. 17 against the Columbus Blue Jackets at 7 p.m. Central. The Wild will play six preseason games, with a home-and-home schedule against Columbus, the
Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis
Winnipeg and St. Louis are division rivals for Minnesota in the realigned Western Conference, along with the Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators.
The Wild play home games against the Jets on Sept. 21 and the Blues on Sept. 25. Road games are at Winnipeg (Sept. 19), Columbus (Sept. 23) and St. Louis (Sept. 27). Minnesota traded forward
Devin Setoguchi to the Jets last weekend as part of a shakeup on the opening day of free agency.
Tickets for preseason games will go on sale on Monday, Aug. 19 at 10 a.m. The regular-season schedule will be released later this month.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I'm not going to bog you down with actors names and the impact they have in movies like this. Maybe once in a blue moon (two full moons in one month if you really needed to know) does a super performance come out of movies like these? The problem is that too much is happening and too many characters are introduced (ones you know stand a pretty good chance of being messed up really bad or simply left somewhere to die while drinking themselves into oblivion) for us to really get a chance to know them. Disaster movies do a stand up job of 'trying' to get us to like these poor chaps with just the right touch of back up story, but why does it always have to be a bunch of workaholics who now, FINALLY decide to spend time with their families right before the world comes to an end? I liked this movie, but for some sick reason I like all natural disaster movies. (I'm going to rent '10.5' next week. Thats got to tell you something!) The awe inspiring image of ocean swells fifty stories high sweeping in across the Statue of Liberty and lower New York harbor was breathtaking. It was spine tingling to see a 'hurricane eye wall' that brought instant -150 degree temperatures to everything within it. There was a lot of panic in this movie and how outrageous of them to portray the Vice President as a strictly money interested, corporate, big shot head case? My money is that he's a Republican. Anyway, the movie does try to build story within the special effects and preachy environmental messages. If you can stomach those two things and you love seeing American cities destroyed on the big screen, this movie might leave you smiling. If you want something that feels good and leaves you thinking about plausible things, skip it and see Texas Chainsaw Massacre.


text: BaronleoneHEY RAY GORDON REID – Where the H-E-Dbl-Toothpicks you been? How's it going man? Good to see you back @ ESB… Posted October 6, 2012 3:43 pmDerekTrouble is, Povetkin stands in front of his foe and trades shots. That's the worst thing to do against Wlad. He has very little movement and he'll just get more and more beat down, like everyone else. He's tailor-made for Wlad to beat…it will look like Wlad vs. Chambers, though Povetkin will continue to throw punches throughout the fight unlike Eddie. I doubt much of consequence will land, as he doesn't have the speed of Haye to get in even the occasional big punch. Posted October 3, 2012 9:07 pmDerekPovetkin won't beat Wlad but he will arguably be the best fighter Wlad has ever faced. I think he does want to fight him this time, too. He wouldn't say no for years and then say he wanted the fight. If he didn't want it he would just keep defending his own "title." I think once he got rid of Atlas who had no confidence in him he decided he should go for a real title, at least so he can say he gave it a shot. Posted October 3, 2012 9:02 pmalonzowI've had the "duplicate post" problem, also it gently hit the say it button and I get a warning for posting to fast and my comment won't even be listed–seems to be an issue with the new post system. Posted October 3, 2012 12:35 pmTARKOK… It looks like I have duplicitive posts. That's because when I tried to put them up, they didn't go up. And now they're up. Weird. Posted October 3, 2012 12:28 pmTARKHaye didn't "barely win" his fight with Valuev. He won by a big enough margin where it would have been ridiculous to give it to Valuev. The fight was in Germany, and it was pretty much like Chambers' dominant win over Dimitrenko—where he floored the giant and pretty much landed all the meaningful punches—but got a ridiculous MD. Americans and Brits face a harder time in Continental Europe than Euros face in the US or Brittan. In my view Chambers beat Povetkin because his connects did 4 times the damage, but they scored it like an amateur fight. Posted October 3, 2012 11:26 amTARKI wouldn't say Haye "barely beat" Valuev. The fight was in Germany and he had to win comfortably enough to get the decision. The fight was a little like Chambers-Dimitrenko, also fought n Europe. Chambers pretty much dominated the fight and had the giant going, but won a ridiculous MD. In my view Chambers scored heavily enough to beat Povetkin. His connects did 4 times as much damage but it was scored like an amateur fight. It's just that in Continental Europe Americans and Brits have to be more dominant than Europeans have to be here… Robbery is pretty much an every day deal over there. Posted October 3, 2012 10:28 amLightningI think Povetkin would be smart enough to smother Haye, and not get caught clean all that often. I see him bullying his way to a UD win against Haye. Then again if he came in looking sluggish, and demotivated, like he has in the past, then I'd pick Haye to pull out a stoppage win. Haye's a monster puncher with stamina issues. It's all about whether you can take his punches, or hurt him in return, or both. There's not a heavyweight in the world 6,4 or under that he isn't capable of knocking out. Posted October 3, 2012 8:54 amBill Patrice JonesPovetkin's 'world title' is totally phony. This is absolutely no reason for either Klitschko brother, especially Wladimir, to care at all about fighting him. There was certainly some clamour for the fight when Povetkin was fresh off beating: Byrd/Chambers but that interest has since faded. Povetkin has nothing to shout about. In the spring/Summer of 2010 it was all offered to him on a plate again, and he said no. They offered him 2.2million to fight Wladimir in Frankfurt, and he refused. To get more experience? Well they offered him a final eliminator with Sam Peter in the states and he refused that aswell! So the title shot, and the 2.2million went straight to Peter instead. Povetkin's a very talented boxer, but he's done nothing of note since 2010. The only way he's going to get attention is by backing up this Rahman knockout with 2-3 truly impressive victories. I don't know if Povetkin's people have enough money to entice David Haye, but we all know the Hayemaker would love to somehow claim he's a two time world champion at HW, and therefore deserves something close to 50/50 against Wladimir in a rematch. This dynamic would tempt him into fighting Povetkin. Very tough fight for both men. The message to Povetkin should be crystal clear: Stay busy, and be impressive, the Klitschkos don't trust you, and the world doesn't respect your world title. Posted October 3, 2012 8:50 amUJelly?Honestly, the only two people I'd put as clear favourites against Povetkin in the current HW landscape would be the brothers. Gonzo the DragonbornPovetkin won 125 amateur fights and lost 7 (all those loses avenged) and he won more gold medals at international tournaments than I can be bothered to count, including Olympic gold, World Amateur Championships gold, 2 x European gold medalist, 4 x national champion, and he won gold medals at the World Junior Championships, European and World Championships as a kickboxer.. anyone have any idea how many times he was stopped as an amateur? Er. never. He's only ever been off his feet once in his life (both amateur or pro) and yet people claim he has a weak chin? lol. He holds 3 victories over the the big hitting Italian great Roberto Cammarelle and never once looked like being hurt. lol. Just because he was on unsteady legs against Marco Huck after getting clocked with about 4000 full-blooded rabbit punches whilst totally out of gas doesn't mean he has a chin problem lol Posted October 2, 2012 8:52 pmjacksonFrankly its very hard to judge Haye, as hes only fought 2 heavyweights in the top 10. One was Valuev, who despite having a belt Ring was only rated at 6. Haye barely won. The other ranked fighter he fought was Vladimir and he lost decisively. Ruiz was 3-3 in his last 6 fights, Barrett was 3-3 going in, Valuev should have lost to a 46 year old Holyfield, and of course Audley wasnt even in the top 20….and Chisora wasnt top 10, having lost to Tyson Fury and an old, one-armed Vitali. I dont know how to rank fighter who ducks most of the top 10….he may be great, but he would have to prove it… Posted October 2, 2012 7:34 pmjacksonChisora would have no chance against Povetkin, Haye should be favored, slightly, as Haye burns out quickly if the pace is pushed. He was breathing hard at the end of the Chisora fight. Chisora is the most overrated–in England only–heavyweight in the world. He fougnt 2 injured fighters in a row, and I give him kudos on his luck, but if he lost 10 rounds to 2 to a one-armed, faded vitali, he is not much of a fighter. There are a lot of fighters, Haye included, who would have beaten a one armed vitali…. Posted October 2, 2012 7:26 pmDeckerAs usual many wide comments. In this era Pov is a smallish HW. He's very good, just not great. Rahman #1 in any ranking is a joke. I thought Pov would win but not that easily. Pov vs Haye or Adamek would be good fights, maybe very entertaining. If Haye doesn't beat Pov early I give the edge to AP. What about Haye v Arreola? Of course Haye doesn't have the cajones for that fight ! Posted October 2, 2012 7:19 pmPigManChambers was landing straight right hand bombs on Pov until Pov figured it out and adjusted. His adjustment got him the win. He ain't stupid and he has a good chin. His problem was conditioning, and Costa Zoo is going to help Pov in the Condition department. He did not win the Olympic Medal by being a chump. I think Pov has no chance against Wladimir at all. None, zip, zero, bagel. So he should fight guys his size inside his Bogus WBA Title and give us some good fights. Haye, Adamek, Arreola, Pulev. He can make some good coin here while avoiding the Big Man Wlad. And on another note, but related, I think Wlad should be sporting that WBA Belt around his waist. That is the way I see it, and blah blah blah, and so on and so forth, and that !! See what I am saying. Posted October 2, 2012 7:13 pmHerbert BannunnezzI would love to see Adamek/Povetkin. Posted October 2, 2012 7:02 pmBeer Party Movementalonzow : If Wlad and Vitali were to fight 4 times a year, they would have run out of comepetition long time ago. And Wladmir are soon going to have his 3rd fight this year. Ban corrupt judgesHaye, Chisora, Price Pulev would all beat Povetkin convincingly. My money would also be on Adamek beating him. He is certainly a competent fighter but doesn't possess a dominant jab, concussive punch or great speed. Posted October 2, 2012 5:19 pmK2FanI find it very strange, that the phony TARKAP took HUGE shots from Chambers??? Chambers shots are about as huge as a freaking misquito bite. Posted October 2, 2012 2:18 pmradI say put Heye or chris Chorsola in there with Povetkin until the Klisko fight becomes availible. somebody saidYes but Pov took those huge straight rights from Chambers, then adjusted to the fight and used 5 punch combos to back up Eddie and WIN the fight. Haye is wide open for a multi combo fighter. Povetkin takes Haye to the cleaners. Posted October 2, 2012 12:03 pmTARKI dreaded the Povetkin-Rahman matchup. I knew it would stink to high heaven because Rahman has the punch resistance of a flyweight … Somebody said, "Povetkin has a good chin and could take Hayes haymakers and counter them with four or five punch combos like he did to Fast Eddie." Povetkin would be on the floor after a few Hayemakers. Povetkin's chin looked terrible against Huck. He survived with help from the referee who kept running in to break up clinches that weren't clinches. As far as Povetkin-Chambers goes, Eddie landed so many flush shots that Povetkin looked like he ran face first into a bee's nest. Chambers was relatively unmarked by comparison. Posted October 2, 2012 11:46 amalonzowWhy does Wlad only do two defenses a year? I remember the days when Champs defended four times a year. Now, granted they defended against the likes of Lucien Rodriquez, Scott Frank and "The Lion of Flanders", but they did it four times a year. He'd be caught up with Larry, Joe and Mo' by now. Posted October 2, 2012 11:19 amSwedish Boxing FanHasim Rahman fought so bad against Alexander Povetkin that it was SADLY PAINFULL to watch. I diden't expect a super fight but at least a competive matchg but even an overweight simple journyman had fought better then that. That fight can't be called a top fight, not even a real boxing match either. It was embarasing to watch a former 2-time world heavyweight champion put on such a poor performance against an opponjent who hitsb hard but is no difficult for a man supposted to have been in an level Rahman had fought in before. Povetkin can never claim that victory to have been an achivment becouse evrey time he or someone else reminds of this fight, there will be no nice things said I can assure that. Hasim Rahman can beat journymen but he will soon turn 40 and have proven himself to be done at fighting top men in his pro career. Sad but true. Posted October 2, 2012 10:48 amRAY GORDON REIDWLADIMIR OVER POVENTKIN 6.50 AM 10/2/2012 Posted October 2, 2012 6:44 amFabianhartSam Peter should be fighting like Rahman is doing. I still think Sam is formidable in todays Heavyweight Posted October 2, 2012 2:41 amSwedish Boxing FanWHO CARES if Alexander Povetkin can or can't defeat Wladimir Klitschko? Its irrevelant and if Povetkin want's respect and recognition he MUST fight Klitschko. He is a top ranked fighter and true fighters don't back out from a fight. If Povetkin ducks Wladimir any longer then 1-2 years MORE, he will forever be remeberd as an poor hearth lacking heavyweight fighter and to be honest its not Povetkin's destiny to be that great fighter anyway Posted October 2, 2012 2:20 amjabSensible move for povetkin I think. If he can make another defence in december so be it. It wont be wlad as he has wach, and vitali wont fight again this year. This is his vol defence so pudor could be right. I heard hoffman thompson and harris as others too. If pov defends against one of these this year then he gets the mand challenger next. Perhaps a clever move would be to stay out the way of wlad till late 2014 and keep the regular belt till then. Then you get a really good pay day. Posted October 2, 2012 2:14 amPigManPovetkin/Haye would be another good fight. The KingslayerHaye would be way too fast for Povetkin. Posted October 2, 2012 12:56 amThe KingslayerBernd Boente is just as repulsive as Jose Suliman and Bob Arum. Posted October 2, 2012 12:56 amBLUESMANI actually see Povetkin stopping Haye. Povetkin is a MUCH better boxer than Haye, who has squirrel balls. Posted October 2, 2012 12:30 amBruiser"This isn't exactly a bad thing for Povetkin and Sauerland because it's not as if he's going to beat Wladimir anyway." This was an extremely funny sentence. But being serious, at 33 years of age, if Povetkin doesn't have the skill and championship mentality yet, he never will. Posted October 2, 2012 12:10 amTARKHaye would murder Povetkin… Too damned fast, mobile, skilled, and hard punching. The way Haye looked in his last fight, it would last 2 or 3 rounds. I'd like to see Alex fight Helenius next, because he's not fighting Haye. Posted October 1, 2012 11:50 pmprideofvirginiabeachPovetkin is a joke until he fights the guy with the real WBA title. Until then, he's just a "regular" boxer. Posted October 1, 2012 9:26 pmThe Russian TysonPovetkin is just too small for the Klits and he knows it. Posted October 1, 2012 7:03 pmPigManAlexander should avoid Wladimir. chitownfightfan@Puglife…….What do u mean by Arreola fought best competition. Thompson can at least say he tried to get in there with the best, but Arreola. Who's he ever beat. And please don't say McCline. The current McCline 3 yrs later is a far stronger and a more focused and determined fighter than the one Arreola beat. Potvetkin OTOH beat 3 Ring top 10s. And have wins over the others cited in the article. Like I said, Thompson at least tried to earn his mandate…..Arreola seems poised to take Rahmans route to the title…..beating Clevel prospects and fringe top 100s. Posted October 1, 2012 5:09 pmSwedish Boxing FanThe author dont ompresse me with this article and why would Wladimir Klitschko waith for fighting Alexander Povetkin? Povetkin is a good boxer but he is a poor "champion" and never won the title from the real WBA and undisputed champ Wladimir so we all wan't Povetkin to step up and fight the real champion. Who cares if Povetkin will be champ again or not after if he would lose to Wladimir (Most probebly). He can if he fights well and acctually wins a real world title belt like the WBC title then or a rematch with Wladimir's titles if he fought well enough. Posted October 1, 2012 4:56 pmPuglifeIt's pretty clear what's happening with Povetkin. Promote him as a cash cow in Germany and Russia fighting washed-up fighters and no-hopers. The only question is: how long will fans over there pay to watch him fight guys like a more than 10 years past his prime Rahman? Say what you want about American HWs like Arreola and Tony Thompson but at least they fought the best and tried to win. Povetkin seems content to avoid fighting the best in the division for as long as he can get away with it. Posted October 1, 2012 4:55 pmknowallWhy would he have to wait till the summer?

Stranraer 4-1 East Stirling: Report
Armand the One for StranraerArmand One netted a hat-trick as Stranraer kept up the pressure on Scottish Division Three leaders Arbroath with a 4-1 victory over East Stirling.Clearly buoyed by the opportunity to crank up the pressure on the Red Lichties, the home side flew out of the blocks and took the lead in just the sixth minute through Scott Agnew's smart finish.East Stirling responded admirably thereafter, though, and restored parity nine minutes later when Stephen Maguire converted Kevin Cawley's right-wing cross.But, as the game wore on, Stranraer's class began to show with them regaining the lead in the 34th minute. Craig Malcolm was instrumental, sending in a well-placed cross which One stroked past Michael Andrews.The striker finished the game off three minutes later, again profiting from Malcolm's good work before firing home.Things got better for One in the second half as he completed his treble with another smart finish.

Award-winning business coach and author Rory Sheehan will present on the topic at Landscape Ontario's Expo 2011.
MILTON, Ont. – A successful business relies on closing the sale, overcoming objections and building value instead of dropping prices. Award-winning business coach and author Rory Sheehan will show how to best achieve that successful recipe in his interactive presentation Close More Business and Have Happy Clients: Breakfast and Networking Event, hosted by Landscape Ontario's Designers Group. The breakfast will be featured during Landscape Ontario's Expo 2011 on Thursday, Oct. 20. "Many designers can have difficulties finishing a sale, and this seminar will help teach how to properly communicate with clients, potential clients and even people who aren't potential clients," said Tony Lombardi, chairman of the Landscape Ontario Landscape Designers Sector Group and owner of Dr. Landscape. "This will give them additional tools to help them out and get landscape designers the sales they want." Rory Sheehan of Positive Strategies is touching thousands of people every year through his presentations and books. His unique and successful approach to achieving results has been featured on television and radio, and he has had several articles published in newspapers and magazines. A confused mind always says 'No', and that confusion and negativity will often lead to unnecessary conflict. If you have ever struggled with closing business or dealing with difficult clients, Sheehan's tried and tested system for moving beyond these challenges is for you. During this discussion, he will teach skills to build stronger relationships, and thus close more business deals. "All the principles of sales are the same, whether you are selling heads of lettuce, BMWs or landscape design services," Lombardi said. "You have to understand and target the correct market. If you are selling design services, you have to listen carefully to your client. With their goals in mind, your job as a designer is to translate the client's vision into the design that will amaze them. This talk will be about creating a structure for effective marketing and dealing with clients appropriately." The registration fee for the "Close More Business and Have Happy Customers" presentation includes a full breakfast and an EXPO 2011 trade show badge. Tickets are $50 for Landscape Ontario members; $70 for non-members with early-bird pricing is in effect until Oct. 7.

Born and raised in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Sarah Creech grew up in a house full of women who told stories about black cloud visions and other premonitions. Her work has appeared in storySouth, Literary Mama, Aroostook Review, Glass, and as a finalist for Glimmer Train. She received an MFA from McNeese State University in 2008 and now teaches English and creative writing at Queens University of Charlotte. She currently lives in North Carolina with her two children and her husband, a poet. Season of the Dragonflies is her first novel.
At the North Carolina Writers' Network 2014 Fall Conference, Sarah will lead the workshop "First Impressions in the First Few Pages." The famed writers of the Toy Story movies, creators of the endearing toy Woody, knew they wanted his character to end at a place of selflessness. To do so, they thought he needed to start from a place of pure selfishness. The only problem? The audience couldn't connect with Woody. He had to be rewritten and made into the character we find in the Pixar films today. The beginning of any short story or novel (or screenplay) requires that the audience care about the main character. Characters don't have to be lovable, but their problems must feel real, with a need for a solution. How do writers create characters an audience cares about? In this workshop, participants will review examples of how professional fiction writers pull this off in the first few pages of a novel or short story. Participants will have an in-class writing exercise to practice creating characters that connect with an audience in the first few pages.
What are you reading right now?
To Rise Again at a Decent Hour by Joshua Ferris.
Where is your favorite place to write?
My office at home surrounded by four walls painted a sea blue color called "Cool Jazz." How does one land a job naming paint colors?
If you weren't a writer, what kind of job would you like to have?
Naming paint colors.
Who has influenced your writing style the most?
Fitzgerald, Virginia Woolf, Colette, Tolstoy.
If you could switch places with one fictional character, who would it be?
Daisy Buchanan.
What do you hope attendees takeaway from Fall Conference, especially if they sign up for your workshop, panel, or Mart?
An urgent need to sit down and read.
Charlotte is known as both "The Queen City" and "The Hornet's Nest." Does one of those nicknames ring more true for you than the other?
Queen City. At turns fancy and fickle.
Sunday's "Brilliant at Breakfast" panel discussion is titled, "The Many Paths to Publication." What's the first thing you ever published?
A poem I wrote on an envelope in a Civil War cemetery in Virginia. I left it on an unmarked grave. A groundskeeper found the poem and the cemetery board decided to make a plaque for it. It'll be in that graveyard long after I'm dead.
Give us three adjectives you hope critics use to describe your next book.
Unexpected, ambitious, entertaining.
What is the most frustrating or rewarding part of the writing process?
Most frustrating: doubting my choices. Most rewarding: affirmation about said choices.
What's one piece of advice no one gave you when you were starting out, that you wish they had?
This is (at the minimum) a ten-year apprenticeship.
If you could mandate that everyone in the world read one book, which one would you choose?
Anna Karenina.
Describe your ideal literary festival. Who would give the keynote address? Who would be the featured readers? What else?
I'd rather describe my ideal party for after the readings: Junot Diaz starts the dance party, and just as I'm about to join the fun, Zadie Smith cuts in and says "Sarah, let's have a drink together and I'll explain how I became such a brilliant novelist at such a young age. By listening to me this wisdom will rub off on you." Then Haruki Murakami will come over and say, "Sarah, don't listen to that. All you need to do is run thirty miles a day. I swear by it. Now I'm going to bed. I wake up with the sunrise each and every day. No time for late parties. Take it from me, that's the secret to great writing." Joshua Ferris will tell jokes in the corner surrounded by people who are mesmerized by his pretty blue eyes. Toni Morrison's laughter will hover over the room. Cormac McCarthy will dance beside Junot Diaz. The poet Mark Strand will tell us all when it is time to go to bed.
Do you steal hotel pens?
No, but I do steal extra samples at Harris Teeter.

John G. Hartness is a teller of tales, righter of wrongs, and some call him the Pompetus of Love. Okay, maybe he's an urban fantasy and horror author from Charlotte with a background in theatre and a love for fried pickles and loud music. John is the author of The Black Knight Chronicles from Bell Bridge Books, available wherever books or e-books are sold. He's also the creator of the comedic horror icon Bubba the Monster Hunter, and the short stories that bear his name. John is an award-winning poet, lighting designer, and theatre producer, whose work has been translated into over twenty-five languages and read worldwide. He's been published in several online literary journals including The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature, cc&d, Deuce Coupe, and Truckin'. His poem "Dancing with Fireflies" was nominated for a 2010 Pushcart Prize. John is also the host of the YouTube series Literate Liquors, where he pairs fantasy and science fiction novels with the appropriate alcohol. He can be found online at www.johnhartness.com and spends too much time on Twitter (@johnhartness), especially after a few drinks.
At the 2014 North Carolina Writers' Network 2014 Fall Conference, John will join the panel discussion, "The Many Paths to Publication," with Kim Boykin and Karon Luddy. Traditional or Indie, Big 5 or Small Press, Digital or Print: writers have never had more possible, viable paths to publication to choose from, which can make choosing harder than ever before. This panel discussion will feature three authors who have followed more than one of those paths, and can tell you what they discovered along the way.
What's one piece of advice no one gave you when you were starting out, that you wish they had?
Don't Quit Your Day Job.
Did you have a teacher or mentor who had a big, positive impact on you?
I had a ton of great teachers who took an interest in my writing over the years, particularly in high school. But the biggest was Deborah Hobbs, my English teacher for 9th - 11th grade. She made sure to push me to excel and never let up.
Who is your literary hero?
Probably Pat Conroy.
If you could live in any literary world for the rest of your life, where would you find yourself?
I'm good where I am. Literary worlds are generally pretty f'd up places, since writers love to torture their characters.
If you could have written one book that someone else wrote, which book would it be?
I couldn't. No interest.
Many writers are solitary creatures. Coming to an event like Fall Conference can be a little intimidating, navigating the exhibit hall and ballroom events. Any advice for working the room?
Get over yourself. The days of writers as these brilliant fragile creatures working in solitude in some ivory tower are long over. Get your head out of your ass and network. I have zero sympathy or patience for people who are unwilling to put in the work networking to make their own success. If you're really that much of a wilting lily, get drunk first. It'll take the edge off.
Who gave the best reading or talk you've ever been to? What made it so good?
Ann Bogart and Ben Cameron can give me goosebumps with their passion for the arts. James Earl Jones made me weep with his honesty.
Any advice for attendees who sign up for the Open Mic?
Practice. Work that is performed is a PERFORMANCE, the interaction with the audience is much more important than the words on the page. Watch videos of slam poetry performers and steal from them. Be a mf'in rock star. We can all read, now ENGAGE me. Thrill me, make me live in your words.
The city of Charlotte was founded on two established Native American trading routes. Now, of course, it's the 2nd biggest banking center in the country. Fall Conference will boast an exhibit hall packed with vendors. How do you approach an exhibit hall at a conference such as this? To shop, to chat, or both?
I'm usually selling books, and will be at this event as well. But if I'm there just attending, then I'm networking. I'm looking for publishers that publish my kind of work and trying to make connections with decision-makers. I'm not there to chat, this is a business. That said, I'll happily chat at the bar later.
They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but of course most of us do. What is one—or some—of your favorite book cover(s)?
I'm a genre fiction guy, so give me a genre fiction cover. Tell me what the book is about, and evoke a feeling. Thieftaker by DB Jackson is an excellent example of this. It sets the tone, the location and hints at a magical element, all without hitting me over the head with it.
What do you hope attendees takeaway from the conference, especially if they sign up for your workshop, panel, or Mart?
That this should be fun, and funny, and it's not all so bloody serious all the time. For god's sake, if you can't laugh at yourself, everyone else certainly will do it for you. Writing is hard, it's a difficult business to break into and almost impossible to make any money at, so do anything you can to have a good time in the process.
What is your guilty pleasure read?
I have no guilt, so I'll read anything. I love YA SF and Fantasy, I write comic horror and urban fantasy, I write poetry, I read alternate history and thrillers, and I'm a huge fan of graphic novels. Read what you love, screw anybody who judges you for it.
What makes you cringe when you see it on the page?
Passive voice, purple prose and stories that don't go anywhere.
Caffeine of choice? (English Breakfast, Caramel macchiato, etc.)
Mountain Dew.
Registration for the North Carolina Writers' Network 2014 Fall Conference is now open.

Vanderbilt Commodores (21-8)
@22 Kentucky Wildcats (21-8)
Tuesday, March 01
Rupp Arena
Attendance: 24,275
22 Kentucky
Lexington, KY (Sports Network) - Brandon Knight finished with 17 points and six rebounds as No. 20 Kentucky edged No. 21 Vanderbilt, 68-66 at Rupp Arena.
Terrence Jones posted 15 points and nine boards for the Wildcats (21-8, 9-6 SEC), who have won four of five.
"We needed the win. We really fought and you could tell everybody needed this win," Jones said.
Festus Ezeli struck for game-highs of 22 points and 13 rebounds but it wasn't enough for the Commodores (21-8, 9-6), who have lost two of three. John Jenkins added 16 in a losing cause.
Jones hit two from the line with 18 seconds left to make it 66-63 for Kentucky, then a driving layup from Lance Goulbourne cut the deficit to 66-65 with less than nine ticks on the clock.
Knight answered with two free throws of his own with 8.2 seconds left for a 68-65 game in favor of the Wildcats, and though Brad Tinsley went to the line with 6.7 remaining, he only made the first of two shots for a two-point game.
A last ditch attempt from the Commodores never reached the net, deflecting off hands in the lane then out of bounds as time expired.
"We're very disappointed to have lost. We've turned into a pretty tough, battle-tested road team. I really, really liked how we competed and how we fought," Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings said.
Kentucky used a 20-8 run late in the first half to turn a three-point edge into a 36-21 edge with 3:48 left before the break. The Wildcats eventually led 40-29 at intermission.
Knight's layup gave the home team a 55-42 lead with 12:49 to go, but Vandy responded with an 18-4 clip to go up 60-59 on a Goulbourne layup with 4:25 remaining in regulation.
Darius Miller and Jeffery Taylor exchanged buckets to keep Vanderbilt up 62-61, then Knight connected on two free throws to give Kentucky a one-point edge.

Sleep Train Arena, Sacramento, CA
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Devoid of any feeling in his right arm since late in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant still managed to do what he does best: make clutch shots.
Bryant ignored an arm that had no feeling and connected on two huge 3-pointers in the second overtime, finishing with 38 points as the Los Angeles Lakers bounced back from a humbling Christmas Day loss to Cleveland by beating the Sacramento Kings 112-103 on Saturday night.
Lamar Odom opened the second overtime with a putback basket that gave the Lakers the lead for good. Then Bryant took control, connecting on back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Lakers in front 109-103 with 2:37 left. Los Angeles outscored the Kings 11-2 in the second OT.
Fast Facts
• The Lakers won for the 17th time in their last 19 games.
• Pau Gasol (24 points, 11 rebounds) recorded his 12th double-double of the season.
• Spencer Hawes (eight points, seven rebounds, seven assists, four steals) became the first Kings center with at least eight points, seven rebounds, seven assists and four steals since Vlade Divac in 2004.
-- ESPN Stats & Information
Bryant wasn't sure how the "funny bone" on his right elbow was hit, but went to the locker room briefly for some therapy, then returned for much of the fourth quarter, when he used primarily his left hand and attempted only one shot, which was blocked.
"My arm went numb and it spazzed up," Bryant said. "My moment came for me to step up (in the second overtime). The defense relaxed, (Donte Greene) put his hands down and left me open for those shots."
It felt like old times for Bryant, who grew accustomed to antagonistic crowds earlier in his career at Arco Arena. Only the second sellout of the season, Kings fans loudly booed the Lakers when starting lineups were announced and began chanting "Beat LA!" It was reminiscent of the crowds that cheered the Kings in the Chris Webber era, when Sacramento was typically battling the Lakers for supremacy in the Western Conference.
"To tell you the truth, it kind of (stunk) coming up here the last few years," Bryant said. "It seems like they are getting behind this young team. It felt good to get booed like it used to be."
Beno Udrih scored 23 points for the Kings, who held the Lakers scoreless in the final 3:35 of the fourth quarter to force overtime. Tyreke Evans had 18 points, Greene had 16 and Omri Casspi added 15 points and 10 rebounds.
It was another frustrating loss for the Kings, who went scoreless in the overtime period in a loss to Cleveland. Against the Lakers, the Kings squandered a seven-point lead in the first overtime and shot just 1-of 8 in the second OT.
The youthful Kings were stagnant on offense late in the first overtime and it carried over into the second, when their only basket was a driving layup by Evans with 3:01 remaining.
"There's no way in the world we should have lost that game," Evans said. "I just thought toward the end things didn't go our way. But it was also Kobe. He just took over the game with those two 3s."
Pau Gasol had 24 points and 11 rebounds for the Lakers, who avoided losing consecutive games for the second time this season. Shannon Brown scored 15 points and Odom had 13 points and 15 rebounds.
The Lakers lost 102-87 to Cleveland on Friday before a national TV audience and are in a stretch of four games in five days, concluding Tuesday at home against Golden State. They played without starting forward Ron Artest, who the team said suffered a concussion on Christmas evening, falling while carrying boxes down a flight of stairs and injuring his left elbow at his Los Angeles home.
Artest was treated at UCLA Medical Center, undergoing a CT scan and receiving stitches in the back of his head and his elbow. The team said a neurologist examined Artest on Saturday. He is day to day and didn't travel with the team on its Saturday flight to Sacramento.
"With Ron out, it was definitely different," Brown said. "Everyone on this team gets a chance to show their stuff at one time or another."
After the Kings scored the first seven points in the first overtime, they went scoreless over the final 2:40 as the Lakers rallied. Gasol tipped in a missed shot by Derek Fisher from close range, tying the game at 101 with .04 seconds left.
"It feels bad, especially when you know you had them," Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "When we just relaxed for that one second, Kobe got two 3s. That is what hurt us. We can't relax. It definitely felt good to be out there, but it just hurts to lose another one."
The victory moved the Lakers (24-5) past idle Boston for the best record in the NBA.
Bothered by his sore right arm, Bryant missed all four shots in the fourth quarter, when he began passing and shooting with his left. Yet Bryant did slap the ball away Evans in the closing seconds as the Kings never got a shot off, forcing overtime with a 94-all tie.
Arguably the top rookie thus far, Evans had just two points in the overtime periods and shot 9 of 23 and committed five turnovers.
"It was the worst game I have ever played in the NBA," Evans said. "We had the lead and we had a couple of bad plays down the stretch."
Overall, Bryant was his usual self offensively, but it was Brown helping the Lakers pull away in the fourth quarter. Brown scored eight points over a two-minute stretch, his three-point play putting Los Angeles ahead 92-85 with 4:23 remaining.
Despite Bryant making his first five shots and scoring 16 points in the third quarter, the Kings would not back down. It took a late 3-pointer and a breakaway dunk by Bryant in the final 1:04 to pull the Lakers even at 78 heading into the fourth.
Udrih capped off a highly productive first half by dribbling past Bryant and hitting a 3-pointer with a second left to give Sacramento a 57-55 lead. Making a rare start, Udrih scored 13 points and Greene had 11 for the Kings. Bryant had 14 points and Gasol added 12 for the Lakers, who shot 55 percent.
Game notes
Greene took an elbow from Andrew Bynum in the second quarter that opened a cut on his chin that required six stitches. Greene returned to start the second half. The teams meet again New Year's Day in Los Angeles. New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia watched the game from courtside seats.

Bosnia and Herzegovina
Country profile - Distinguishing factors (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Geography, size
Bosnia and Herzegovina has a total surface area of 51 209.2 km², composed of 51 197 km² of land and 12.2 km2 of sea (Source: Agency for Statistics of BiH, www.bhas.ba). According to its geographical position on the Balkan Peninsula, it belongs to the Adriatic basin and the Black Sea basin. Therefore, Bosnia and Herzegovina belongs to the Danubian countries group as well as to the Mediterranean countries.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has common frontiers with the Republic of Croatia (931 km), the Republic of Serbia (375 km) and the Republic of Montenegro (249 km). To the north, BiH has access to the Sava River, and to the south to the Adriatic Sea (23.5 km of sea border). The land is mainly hilly to mountainous, with an average altitude of 500 meters, (0 m at the seacoast and 2 387 m at the highest peak, MagliÄ mountain). Of the total land area, 5 % is lowlands, 24 % hills, 42 % mountains, and 29 % karst region. Forest lands cover about 2.5 million ha, or 49 % of the total land area, which is among the highest forest coverage in Europe. Forest ecosystems cover 41 % of the territory, and a relatively high number of species are endemic. Bosnia and Herzegovina ranks among the territories with the highest level of biological diversity in Europe. Therefore, forestry in BiH is a very important industrial sector, and the sustainable management of forest resources is a significant factor in environmental, climate and biodiversity protection.

You might try the Red Onion Cafe. It may have the best food.
One place I have on my list to try is Cafe on the Route in Baxter Springs.
If you wanted a couple of places that are truly Joplin ---
Fred and Reds-all they have is chile, tamales and hamburgers. My favorite is tamale deluxe. You eat it with crackers, which come heated. The seating is very limited though.Undercliff Bar and Grill

To do so, the College values diversity in all forms, including national origin, race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identify, disability, or veteran status; and seeks to recruit, retain, and graduate a diverse student population.
The CHP focus on diversity demands an environment where respect for others supports meaningful dialogue across broad, interprofessional issues rooted in academic inquiry, research, and discovery. Our graduates are prepared to address the needs of an evolving health care system and value inclusion and the opportunity to serve health needs and promote wellness opportunities to an increasingly diverse community. - The University of Akron is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, a commission of The North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

This policy also applies to e-cigarettes. This policy is intended for the CHP's classrooms, labs, and clinics where our schools are located.
This policy is consistent with University policy 3359-20-05.5

There was a plethora of terms found when analyzing the job-opening descriptions. For example, Windows' terms include 95, NT, CE, Win, Windows NT, etc. Besides various abbreviations, there are also ambiguous words. Is Win followed by NT to be counted as Windows and Windows NT or just Windows NT alone? Generally, the "maximum munch" rule is used. That is, the longest recognizable term possible is used. Then there are still the misspellings and unknown words. Thus, all this makes determining what is required fuzzy. Having said that, here are some of the statistics used in the job descriptions:

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.

Anglo-Spanish War (1762–63)
The Anglo–Spanish War was fought between Britain and Spain as part of the Seven Years' War. It lasted from January 1762 until February 1763 when the Treaty of Paris brought it to an end.
When war was declared between France and Great Britain in 1756, Spain remained neutral. King Ferdinand VI of Spain's prime minister Ricardo Wall effectively opposed the French party who wanted to enter the war on the side of France. Britain made an attempt to persuade Spain to join the war on their side, by offering Gibraltar in exchange for Spanish help in regaining Minorca, but this was rejected by Madrid.
Everything changed when Ferdinand VI died in 1759 and was succeeded by his younger brother Charles III of Spain. Charles was more ambitious than his melancholy brother. One of the main objects of Charles's policy was the survival of Spain as a colonial power and, therefore, as a power to be reckoned with in Europe.
By 1761 France looked like losing the war against Great Britain. Furthermore, Spain suffered from attacks by English privateers in Spanish waters, and claimed compensation.
Fearing that a British victory over France in the Seven Years' War would upset the balance of colonial power, he signed the Family Compact with France (both countries were ruled by branches of the Bourbon family) in August 1761.
This brought war with Great Britain in January 1762.
The war[edit]
Spain agreed with France to attack Portugal which remained neutral, but which was an important economical ally of Great Britain. France hoped that this new front would draw away British forces, now directed against France. On May 9 Spain invaded Portugal, capturing Almeida, and made Great Britain send a force of 8,000 men to Portugal, but little more was achieved.
The British could now attack the Spanish colonies. A British expedition against Cuba took Havana and Western Cuba in August 1762, along with fourteen ships of the line, the bulk of Spain's Caribbean fleet. One and a half months later, the British took Manila, which meant the loss of both the capitals of the Spanish West Indies and the Spanish East Indies, a serious blow and loss in prestige for Spain.
An attack by the British East India Company in South America was not successful, when the warship Lord Clive was sunk by Spanish coastal fire.
By the Treaty of Paris (1763) Spain handed over Florida and Minorca and had to withdraw from Portugal and Brazil, in exchange for British withdrawal from Cuba.
As compensation for their ally's losses, the French ceded Louisiana to Spain by the Treaty of Fontainebleau (1762).

More reviews by thathippiegothchick
Excellent conditioner. On a trip out to Whole Foods I came across this conditioner and the matching shampoo. I was just about to leave town, and I had forgotten to pack my Infusium hairspray, which I normally use to control the frizz and puffyness in my hair. So I needed something that would do that on its own, and I settled on these. When I tried it a few days later whilst still out of town, I really didn't expect results. But I was pleasantly surprised. Even without my hairspray, my hair came out manageable, easy to untangle (which is saying something as I have curly hair), frizz-free and not like an afro! lol in other words, not puffy. The only downside was I used to much conditioner and it weighed my hair down. Word to the wise: a little goes a long way. But I haven't looked back since. And as bonuses, the pair of these are eco-friendly and give me a lot of good hair days. I still don't have to use Infusium anymore unless I want to style my hair more than usual. And I like having that choice. The only thing I don't like is the price; buying a matching set like I do can get expensive. But to me, they're worth every penny. I'll never use any other shampoo and conditioner.
I had been using Nature's Gate shampoo/conditioner for a few months at this point and noticed my face was breaking out badly. I do get breakouts every now and then, but this time it was all over my hairline, down my temple and a bit on my cheeks too. That's so strange! I also had tried the aloe vera one, and noticed my roots were immediately greasy on the same day- a few hours later! Ew! Usually I'm okay for another whole day, and then it starts to do that. So when that happened, I stopped using all Nature's Gate, and the breakout around my temple went away (it wasn't my makeup then!) Stay away from this if you get barely there breakouts or massive breakouts. What's even more gross is when I used regular drugstore shampoo, my hair felt like i put glue in it.
I switched to a natural sulfate-free, silicone-free haircare regimen about two months ago and have been very happy with this conditioner so far. I previously used Redken Smooth Down products and they worked wonderfully, they were my former HG of hair products, but I read up on sulfates and silicones and finally decided to ditch my well-loved Smooth Down Butter Treat conditioner to try this new one... and I'm so glad I did! I never thought my hair could get any softer than it was before, but amazingly, now it is. Sometimes I use it alone as a cleansing conditioner, and sometimes I use it after the corresponding Hemp Shampoo. I have *very* thick, frizz-prone, coarse hair, and am very pleased at how much softer and more manageable this has made my hair after only two months of being sulfate- and silicone-free. If you have thinner hair or an oily scalp, I would not recommend this for you, as it is quite heavy and might be overly-moisturizing. But if your hair is parched and frizzy, this is definitely worth trying.

This may be my HG conditioner! I am so glad I found it! I have thick, dry Asian hair and as soon as this product touches my hair all the tangles go away and my hair feels like silk! That might be a little exaggerated but you get the point :) I don't even have to leave it in my hair it works instantly!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I had great luck with this conditioner. I have fine curly hair that is prone to frizz. I also have an extremely silicone sensitive scalp so it is hard for me to find products that smooth my hair without me feeling like I've just put a flesh eating virus on my head. I love the scent (spicy herbal), it detangles well and is affordable. It also doesn't seem to strip color too bad. Adios, overpriced conditioners that do not work.
Not heavy enough in moisture for me. it is lightly conditioning and smoothing so i think this is best for someone with more fine thin hair, but for thick curls, no no. the scent took me forever to pin point what it smells like but i totally agree with one of the other reviewer that it smells like cinnamon, uhg idk why i couldnt figure it out lol. But ya cinnamon but not too cinnomon-y. And this conditioner looks like liquid Noxema lol kinda odd but thats ok i guess its not bad.
Update 8/31/10:
Yes, I just reviewed this, but had to update because it's given me the worst buildup I've ever had!!! And in less than a week's use! I only used it about 3-4 times over the last week or so and in that time my hair had so much buildup that even after I washed it, it was still gummy, tangled, and stuck together. I washed it today ***4*** times and that seems to have gotten rid of most of it. Just amazing. I won't be buying this and I'll probably give it away with a bad conscience because I know what someone else is getting - buildup.
Original review:
I recently tried this after kind of liking & being confused about Nature's Gate Herbal Daily Conditioner.
This one is just as strange.
It's much thicker than the herbal one and has a much fainter scent that's slightly herbal and almost smells like cinnamon(?) mixed with Elmer's Glue. I've used it in my hair wet and dry, as a rinse out conditioner and as a leave-in. It definitely tones down the frizz! And using it as a rinse out my curls were more defined than they've ever been. I suspect if I used this in the shower, then added a little more and squeezed out the excess water my hair would be amazing and completely frizz free. However, I don't like walking around with drippy hair, so that doesn't happen.
I also found that after my hair is dry it feels smooth but a little plasticy? And my ends tangle. Not sure why.
I chose that I would not repurchase for now because of the weird scent, my hair feeling plasticy & tangling, and my hair also feels kind of dry in a way. But I'll use it up and see if I change my mind.
love this conditioner! one of my favorites. very thick,creamy and moisturizing.the price isn't too bad for 18oz,i paid $5.85
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this conditioner! Works well on my thick, curly 3c hair. Other curlies try this one. It's inexpensive and does the trick. As another reviewer mentioned it's great for co-washing.
ETA: I eventually developed some kind of contact allergy to this conditioner. Not sure what ingredient/s are irritating me. Sadly I can no longer use it but I have passed my bottles on to my brother who has 3b/c hair and it works well for him.

I have an announcement to make to everyone (Coach Devin). Recently I was offered a greater position at another Crossfit gym that I currently work at. I have accepted the new position at Crossfit San Jose and unfortunately will be leaving Crossfit Sunnyvale because of this. It is a big step towards my personal career goals and an opportunity that I couldn't pass on. I will truly miss all the members I have had the privilege to meet and coach while spending my time here at Crossfit Sunnyvale. The progress I have seen made, while in the short almost year and a half time since I have been here, has been exceptional. You all have a strong passion for fitness and self improvement and it has been an honor to work with each and every one you. I know everyone will continue to keep up the hard work after I am gone.
Next week Wednesday the 14th will be my last class. I hope to see as much of you as possible before I go so please come by my class if you can make it. Also if you would ever like to drop in on a class of mine at Crossfit San Jose or Crossfit Los Gatos just let me know! I would love to have you.

A release on Permanent Vacation is a release bound for the Mixmag stereo, but this debut from John Talabot struggled to raise so much as an eyebrow in our office. 'Fin' comes with on-trend nu disco and slo-mo house credentials, but that's actually its downfall. There's no distinct personality to be heard, or the kind of dynamic ideas that could give it the ability to totally dominate a room. That said, Barcelona-based Talabot certainly can hit sublime heights. Tracks like 'Oro/Y/Sangre' and 'Missing/You' feature the kind of mesmeric rhythms and lush melodies that deep cosmic dreams are made of – but his previous releases like 'Matilda's Dream' and 'Naomi' had much more bite.

London, Jan 17 (ANI): Tigers Woods is trying to win back his former wife Elin Nordegren back with a 200-million-dollar pre-nup deal, according to reports.
According to the National Enquirer, Nordegren, 33, who won a 110-million-dollar divorce settlement from the golfer, is believed to have told him she will consider the proposal – but only if he includes a 350-million-dollar anti-cheating clause into the wedding contract, the Daily Mail reported.
A source said that the deal was worth more than half of Wood's 600-million-dollar fortune, adding Nordegren feels it's enough to keep him from straying.
The source said that Woods didn't even balk at the demand. Even though his accountants think he's crazy, he's ready to sign the pre-nup and set a wedding date.
"The guy has never recovered from being dumped by Elin. He's dated lots of models and bimbos, but none of them were more than a one night stand," the source said. (ANI)

The latter focuses on the round-the-world scientific expedition of the frigate Novara between 1857-9 and its visit to New South Wales in 1858, along with its role in the sea battle of Lissa 1866. Another ongoing area of interest is in the history of the Illawarra district of New South Wales, Australia, especially during the initial period of white settlement (1770-1850), and later (1815+) when a military stockade was in operation and my great-great-grandfather was a soldier on duty there between 1839-40.
