"Let Your Answering Machine Help You Say YES To You"
I'm not an advocate of not returning calls from family members, friends and business partners. However, I've been noticing how, even after working on myself to make my own work my first priority whenever possible, I succumb to the ringing of my phone.  I can sabotage my own projects by making everyone else's time more valuable than mine.
When I was a little girl we had telephones but answering machines hadn't yet been invented. If you're younger than I and I'm sure most of you are, try to imagine a world in which if you miss a phone call you may never again be able speak to the person whose call you missed. Plus – you wouldn't even know whose call you did miss. Very often we'd wait at home in order to catch an important phone call. I would get upset when my folks (or whoever the party I needed to reach was) didn't answer the phone. What to do?! I'd panic.
I was and am thankful for the person who developed the answering machine. Life became faster. We didn't have to wait at home to connect with someone or be sure they had the number for the person we were visiting. If we were outside we needed to know where the public phone booths were. Now, we don't only have home answering machines, we take our communication tools with us!
Your probably saying, "I know. I know. So?" I'm bringing this up because, as I said in my first paragraph, we can – at least I can – become nervous about not answering every communication that comes in, the moment it comes in. In the past decade or so I know many people whose day is spent on the phone. If it's their job to take calls that come in for their employer, call people for their employer and leave messages when necessary, that's the equivalent of their saying YES to themselves. It's what they need to do to fulfill the requirements of their employment. However, if a person feels they must answer every phone call that comes in before they've even looked at their own daily list of tasks that will take them further in the direction of accomplishing the goals they want to achieve, they're in "people pleasing" mode.
Is it wonderful to please people? Of course it is. However, if you say YES to your daily goals first and then answer other's needs you'll be able to help the others more in the long run because you'll have achieved the position you've been aiming for.
If the call that's coming in is someone who is answering a call you made to them or is a person you know can help you achieve a daily or long run goal, then that's a call you'll answer right away. The others can be called back when you've got your tasks completed.
In a Here Women Talk column that was posted on April 15, 2012 I mentioned a line in my Franklin Covey planner that read, "Never answer emails in the morning." Not answering a call that doesn't pertain to your needs before tending to your needs is the same thing. If the person calling is a family member, you would want to answer them quickly to check if they're physically okay. If they really need help, that would change your daily "to do" list. If, however, they were calling to "schmooze", it's perfectly acceptable to give them a quick phone kiss and tell them you'll call them back as soon as you've gotten your work (or whatever is on YOUR list) done.
Believe me, I still have to work on not picking up the phone to answer every phone call that comes in. They'll leave a message if they want me and I can call them back as soon as I can – AND – guess what I'm finding and I bet you'll find too? They'll be more likely to say YES to YOU!!!

Desktop phones: on the way out?
TELEPHONY While desktop telephones are a mainstay for business, their future may change as employees increasingly use alternative communication devices as their basic communication tool."Workers today often manage multiple devices, including a desktop telephone, mobile phone, smart phone, pager and softphone," says Elizabeth Herrell of Forrester Research.
"As e-mail and text messages outpace voice calls for internal business communications, the need for a desktop telephone becomes less important for mobile employees," Herrell offers. Trends that will affect desktop phones, Herrell says, include:
Smart phone and mobile devices. Mobile employees may prefer to use their smart phones with a docking station at their desktop for voice communications. Smart phones allow employees to rely on one device that fully supports business phone features, offers flexibilit,/and convenience, and makes them reachable from any location.
UC desktop features. Integrating voice into the UC desktop provides call-control features directly from the PC or laptop computer. Users can see the availability of teammates, launch conference calls from their desktop, and view voice, e-mail and fax messages in a consistent manner without toggling between appliances.

You are right, they've been looking for a solid back-up to Tay for years. He could probably learn a few things playing behind him.
It's important that we play Amir, J-Max, Bynum, and Spell check, so I don't think Lebron will mind too much as long as Hermann doesn't move ahead of him.
If we traded all of our starters for LeBron and went with the guys you named above do you think that we could win it all with this line up: C ~Amir Johnson PF ~JMAX SF ~Le Bron SG ~Afflolo PG ~ Bynum Bench~ Fabio , Kwame and Sharpe?
I think that's pretty much it. I've never liked him so i don't think i can learn to even tolerate him. Even if he scores 60 in the Pistons uniform, i'd probably still be looking at him sideways. He's the only player in the league i can't find anything to appreciate about. His attitude overshadows his game. Even Kevin Garnett i could at least appreciate that for all his theatrics, he works with the young players/is a team guy. With James, nothing.
If you truly saying you don't Lebron James on your team, then you're just flat out lying. The guy is good. I'm sorry, but how can you not want a guy who is 24 years old AND HAS been in contention for MVP for years now? Because of his ego? Career Leaders and Records for Points - Basketball-Reference.com Look at him at that list, already scored more points in his career than Chauncey and will reach Rip pretty soon AND is still young. I think at times, Lebron James has truly talked the talk and walked the walk, because he just cruises through the season and turns it up in when it matters, the playoffs.
Of course. Very few people realize that these guys alone can STOP Lebron, so with him, the Pistons would have a Uber team unlike any seen ever before. I would say the Pistons maybe lose five games the entire year.
No, this is like asking if you would rather have her in a Pistons uniform or not in a Pistons uniform.
It's pretty well documented that KG has been working with all the Celts young guys specifically Perkins/Davis on improving their game and he's almost Sheed-esque in the amount of time he puts in. It's also fairly obvious that he'll take any role to win, and is content with being the defensive guy if he has to. edited to add; When i say with James, i got nothing. I believe his ego drives alot of his moves.
I don't think you're crazy either. I only think you'd be crazy if you tried to claim he wouldn't make the team better and made THAT the basis for not wanting him. Hating him is an awesome reason not to want to look at him in your favorite team's uniform.

Designing your Dream House
The first step we typically do when designing a new house is listing all the features and amenities we wanted to have. How many bedrooms? How large the dining area? How many windows at the living room? How many comfort room? Etc. Most people, however, quickly realize that their budget doesn't match the seemingly endless extras they'd like to have in their dream house. Thus, it important that you determine how much amount of money you can manage to spend.
It is very advisable to seek for home builder's assistance so you can have idea of what particular home features you can afford, most especially if money matters to you and you are in the budget. Home builder can help you know what you can get out of your money.
Some of these extra features that you may want to consider in designing your home may include extra bathrooms, balcony of the master bedroom, al fresco dining area, home theater system, vaulted ceilings, custom cabinetry, multi-vehicle garage, home office and even some beautiful green garden.

See your 'lil princess
hung high over there?
she was too young to perish
too excited to care.
she grew up protected,
some called her naive
but 'lil learned her lesson
this past birthday eve.
"sweet girl!" cried her concience
"step lightly, tread slow
there's so much to come yet,
you don't even know!"
but princess was fated
to fall late that night
and crawl to a corner,
eyes peeled wide by fright.
'twas the devil, he got her
but where did they go?
what temptation stole her?
was it fame? was it blow?
well, let's travel backwards,
reverse the decay.
we'll follow our lady
through that fateful day.
her waking was pleasant,
she'd had such sweet dreams
of shiney, sharp objects
raw rope and such things.
she dressed, so well rested
and danced through the morning
but her friends, they forgot her
(the very first warning)
her hair tied with ribbon
her waist tightly bound
her skirts layered lightly
bare feet on the ground
a chill caught her footfall
and crept through her system
a sudden reminder of
how much she missed him
her family did treat her
to sweets and delights
her loved ones indulged her
with nibbles and bites
there were gifts so pervacious
(that's right, I said it...
I make up my own words,
and don't you forget it!)
the princess was gifted
with handcuffs and collars
and sweet milky potions
that made her grow taller!
a room full of slave men
at her beck and call,
one of each flavor
lean, large, short and tall.
baubles with beads,
and a darling new crown,
some black latex stockings,
a crimson silk gown.
thick hoppy beers,
some sweet x-ray glasses,
a lip tinting liquer,
aerobic strip classes
left wanting for naught
yet wanting much more
she called up sir Satan
to settle a score
her lover, a whisper
seemed so far away
she'd trade a whole lifetime
to have him today
signed in blood and surrendered
no more left to say,
Sir said, "dress up sexy,
it's time to go play"...

Rab escort proteins (REP) 1 and 2 are closely related mammalian proteins required for prenylation of newly synthesized Rab GTPases by the cytosolic heterodimeric Rab geranylgeranyl transferase II complex (RabGG transferase). REP1 in mammalian cells is the product of the choroideremia gene (CHM). CHM/REP1 deficiency in inherited disease leads to degeneration of retinal pigmented epithelium and loss of vision. We now show that amino acid residues required for Rab recognition are critical for function of the yeast REP homologue Mrs6p, an essential protein that shows 50% homology to mammalian REPs. Mutant Mrs6p unable to bind Rabs failed to complement growth of a mrs6Delta null strain and were found to be dominant inhibitors of growth in a wild-type MRS6 strain. Mutants were identified that did not affect Rab binding, yet prevented prenylation in vitro and failed to support growth of the mrs6Delta null strain. These results suggest that in the absence of Rab binding, REP interaction with RabGG transferase is maintained through Rab-independent binding sites, providing a molecular explanation for the kinetic properties of Rab prenylation in vitro. Analysis of the effects of thermoreversible temperature-sensitive (mrs6(ts)) mutants on vesicular traffic in vivo showed prenylation activity is only transiently required to maintain normal growth, a result promising for therapeutic approaches to disease.

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could give me tips for playing Miss Fortune. What do you guys typically start with? The last time I played her was during the beta tests for Dominion and haven't played her since. Thanks!
Boots, Prospector Blade, 2 HP Pot The rest depends on the opponents. General rule is you get all offense items, but you might get some defense in special cases.
Play her like an offensive support. You really can't play MF like a carry on dominion. There's too much armor to effectively out scale the tanky DPS. Start with Speed 3 boots and a Rejuvenation Bead, grab a Catalyst your first time back. Grab a single point in all three abilities and take Garrison/Clairvoyance for your summoner's spells. After the Catalyst your buying priority is always an Oracles if they have Teemo, Shaco, Eve, Twitch, or Akali. Those five are your nemesis and you have to be prepared to counter them. If you don't have enough for an oracles, you will die. A lot. Oracles lets you kill teemo shrooms (which helps out your team a LOT) and shaco boxes (which makes it possible to take turrets from him with less than a 3v1...champs like him are also why you take garrison). Build Zeal, upgrade to a Phantom Dancer. Max Impure Shots and Make It Rain first (yes...totally backwards from SR). Grab a Phage. Upgrade the Bead to a Priscilla's Blessing. *Then* start stacking AD. I suggest Entropy or Frozen Mallet (don't even think about a trinity force. She's not spammy enough for a triforce) and Sanguine Blade (get the blade last). Avoid (fair) fights. Play as a dirtbag ninja-capper. Look for (almost) fair fights and make them (overwhelmingly) unfair in your team's advantage. Turn 1v1's into 2v1's. 2v2's into 3v2's. If your team is already one up, be a raging ******-bag and +1 that again. Interrupt enemy caps (run in, make it rain, run away. If they stay, double up and run. If they still stay, reinforcements should be there or you need some new teammates). If they leave a point undefended, cap it or at least turn it neutral. When capping, if the enemy team's dude potential is above zero, cover yourself with clairvoyance if you start getting nervous. If you don't want to take Clair, take ghost. If you're running anywhere go there through a speed shrine. Never, ever skip the speed shrines. Look for enemy champs that are injured. Kite melee like crazy (entropy/frozen mallet are godlike for MF kiting). Kiting is why I suggest boots 3 over the 2/5's. The moment you attack something speed 5 boots revert to speed 2, and MF doesn't have an escape besides the fairly terrible snare on make it rain, and if she's in range of an attack it will knock off strut. Boots 3 will outpace 3/4ths of the enemy champions that can actually hurt you, so long as you can survive their closer, and help keep strut active when you get the drop on people. MF has the highest passive movement speed in the game when Strut is active. She can outrun Rammus, Zillian, Janna, Garen, and Kennen without using a single ability. Abuse it. Ahh downvotes. I feed on the tears of bad teams I ninja points from. Don't bother arguing, try to point out errors, or discuss where you disagree. Just pretend nothing exists outside your little box and hit that downvote button. I consider your rage to be my vindication.
Piano Kitten
It's been stated above, Strut is your silver bullet, you can abuse it like no other. Buildwise, I find that you'll probably get blown up if your opponents really hate you that much, but positioning is going to be the single determing factor as to your effectiveness. I played about 10 matches with MF yesterday, and it's been pushed off my Match History, but I love Tiamats. They make her one of the best pushers and defenders, and are also fairly cheap at a price of 2k a piece. From there, build up some more damage such as a Sanguine Blade for sustain, then work on defensive items.
With any carry, I usually build normally and run with teammates. You can't solo bot because someone will just come around an dive you. You want to have someone go ahead of you, draw "aggro" from the enemy as well as the capture points if you're diving, and start piling on damage. Kite when you see someone heading for you (the nice thing about Crystal Scar is that it's easy to slip into Fog of War to break someone away from you and reengage when they're distracted with something else), and make sure you're watching where all 5 are so you can position well. Carries aren't so bad in Dominion if you play smart, and you can get strong fairly quickly. I've had a lot of success with MF and Kog'Maw, so don't listen to naysayers. As for skill order/build/etc: I start with all 3 spells for the first fight. I head top with my teammates, grabbing the middle point if someone else refuses but you usually want to be with your team. Max W first. Q isn't as useful because Dominion doesn't have a laning phase, so sustained damage > poke, and W gives you more sustained damage by enhancing your autoattack damage. (You should have Archaic Knowledge from the Offense Tree for spell pen since MF does a lot of magic damage!) I do Q next but I'm not sure that it has any benefits over E in Dominion. Use E to interrupt captures and kite. I do standard carry build on MF: Start boots + p blade, rush Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, Last Whisper. Add a Sanguine Blade and whatever defensive item is appropriate whenever you feel like building them. I run 21/6/3 masteries, flash/exhaust (ghost is fine in place of exhaust), and Armor Pen/Armor/MR per level/Attack Damage runes. Movespeed quints are probably better for Dom, but I use my Summoner's Rift page. Edit: Oh, and Entropy is a good item to consider for high-defense champs or champions with some kind of short-term massive damage reduction, like Alistar or Garen. It also helps you kite and replaces red buff in a way.
wait for patch and build hybrid.
Slumber Jack
Player Behavior Specialist
Not much is to be said about MF. Take advantage of Strut and your high damage output, be aware that you don't have innate escape mechanisms that would help you with ninja-ing, especially if global ults are present (Ezreal, Karthus, Lux, Ashe) that could ruin your Strut from across the map. You can't play her like a full ninja, but she does have trouble 1v1 against melee champions who are building a bit tankier but still have a large amount of offense (Xin Zhao, Yi, GP). Just have to read every situation really well as to whether you should be pretending to be a ninja or shooting things in the face.

Sony Computer Entertainment U.K. (SCE UK) boss Fergal Gara has reiterated that there will be 'ample' PlayStation 4 stock available during the system's initial release period.
Speaking with EDGE (via GamingBolt), Gara said that while the average punter may not be able to stroll into shops and buy a PS4 on launch day, Sony will be providing plenty of opportunity to pick one up in the weeks and months following.
"What I will say is that over the launch window of the first two to three months there's going to be ample stock and we'll catch up," said the exec. "Pre-Christmas is huge and anyone that has preordered a PS4 now is almost certain to get it before Christmas, and there will be more on top of that – barring any problems with ships sinking or whatever else that could go wrong that's out of our control.
"There is a very significant volume in the market on day one, but shipment two is within days of that so what we're expecting is a big surge and then lots of follow up volume. Our advice to gamers is that if you want one, that's fantastic, we're delighted, but get your name on the preorder list of partner retailers because that puts you first in line for any delays and any follow up volume. So it'll be a bit tight prior to Christmas but there will be ample PS4s in those first few weeks."
PS4 is pencilled in for release in the U.K. and Europe on November 29, and in the U.S. on November 29.
PS4 will have 'ample stock' at launch window, says Sony UK

Veteran Olympic Silver-Medalist Michael Matz Wins Kentucky Derby on His First Visit to the Run for the Roses Jeannie Blancq Putney, USEF
Imagine having an Olympic Silver medal of your very own. Imagine winning the greatest horse race in the world - the Kentucky Derby. To achieve either is a milestone in any horse lover's life. To do both is almost unthinkable. That is unless you are Michael Matz, who has created his own exclusive club. And it has exactly one member. The 132nd Kentucky Derby was an exceptional day for this former Olympian and the horse he has trained for the past year, Barbaro.
Matz and his newly rose-crowned Barbaro took the honors on a beautiful Kentucky day after a brief stumble coming out of the gate only to prove what true athletes are made of by winning the Derby by seven lengths. This is the fourth year in a row that a "rookie" trainer has won the distinguished honor.
All week reporters have been talking about the 55-year-old Matz and his Olympic medal as well as his heroic rescue of three children during a plane crash in 1989. The humble Matz has said nothing about the crash for years and does not wish to receive additional accolades for his heroics. Today was all about the new focus and love in his life - racing.
In 1996, Matz was chosen by the entire U.S. Olympic contingent to carry the American flag in the closing ceremonies in the Atlanta Olympics, making him the only equestrian athlete ever to receive that honor. In 1998, Matz hung up his show jumping spurs and entered the world of Thoroughbred racing. A true horse person, Matz was even in the saddle the morning of the Derby, ponying for Barbaro and jockey Edgar Prado during their brief morning workout.
Matz won his Team Silver medal in 1996 aboard Rhum IV. The other members of the U.S. Silver-medal winning team included Leslie Burr-Howard aboard Extreme, Peter Leone aboard Legato, and Anne Kursinski aboard Eros. Matz is also a veteran of the 1976 and 1992 Olympic Games riding Grande and Heisman, respectively and has numerous other equestrian awards.

We regularly pick up groceries and buy food simply by going to a grocery store and picking out what we need. In addition, we often look for grocery stores that offer bargain prices on groceries. The most popular of these grocery stores are wholesale grocery stores, which are larger than your average grocery store and have a variety of products under one roof. Wholesale grocery stores offer consumers huge discounts on almost anything that's available in their store.However, as a condition to receive these discounts, one must sign up for an annual membership which often comes in a form of a membership card, which you must pay for on an annual basis. Two of the most popular wholesale grocery stores are Costco and BJ's.
Revenue can tell a lot about a business and how fast it's expanding. Revenue, is a good way to gauge a business's overall financial health. When it comes to having the most revenue, Costco certainly takes the cake. Costco's average yearly revenue is predicted at $71.4 billion dollars with a net income of $1.06 billion dollars, while BJ's annual revenue stands at $10 billion dollars with a net income of $132 million dollars approx.
The number of employees that a company hires makes a great difference in a community since a large employer becomes a staple in it's community. Large stores such as these can offer more employment opportunity and aid the financial prosperity of a community. That said, when it comes to having the most employees, Costco once again takes the cake. Costco is predicted at having 147,000 employees, while BJ's has around 23,500 employees.
When it comes to having locations worldwide, Costco is recorded as having locations in Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Australia. On the other hand, BJ's only has locations in the United States.
Costco is an American company which is headquartered in Issaquah, Washington, and is rated the third largest company in the United States and the ninth largest in the world. It was founded by James Sinegal (CEO). While, BJ's is also an American company headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, it is ranked 269 out of 500 companies according to Fortune magazine. Laura Sen is the current CEO of BJ's.
While I like Costco, I pass BJ's every day. The advantages of BJs are that they accept manufacturers coupons, they have more in-store coupon books, one of ours has a gas station, and we get rebates for our purchases. Costco, as does Sam's, has a better selection of prepared foods, even though one of our BJs now is getting better. They are also cleaner than BJs and usually hire adults. However, BJs is an employer that does hire high school students, and that group often has a hard time getting jobs.
Stupid comparison unless u r looking to invest
I am a member of all the big three, and I am not going to renew one or perhaps even two of them this year, I have taken several years to decide so that I would feel good about my decision. While Sam's is the closest to me, and BJ's is about 9 miles away, I will not rule out costco even though the closest is 32 miles each way. As far as appearance, I think costco is leading the pack, BJ's is second, and same is last. As far as cleanliness, again Costco leads the pack with BJ's 2nd but could be a tie, and agin sam's comes in last. As far as the employees and ratings Costco again wins the 1st prize, with BJ's 2nd and Sam's again last. In regards to selection not only largest, but better quality, While I would like to say Costco it would not be fair, as I have costco and BJ's in a tie, with same not close, In regards to my conscience and where and how I spend my money not only what is best for me, but for my community and the nation, again I have Costco, and BJ's in a tie and same not in the hunt. While sam's offers me the most convince, and less travel and fuel, I find that not as important as other things. As of now, it looks like I will definitely be dropping sam's, and am not sure if I will keep the others or just one. My memberships all expire within a month of each other, and I have about four months to make that decision. However I would like to say this is just my opinion and may not fit your buying or other circumstances. If Costco were just a little closer this would not be a tough decision but that far away on a winters day with ice and snow is a factor. That is why I will probably keep and shop at both Costco, and BJ's, I will most likely rate Costco first BJ's second and sam's not in the hunt.

Double dose of perfection at Winter Springs
April, 2, 2012
By Andrew Linnehan | ESPN.com
Courtesy of Don BirleKiersten Coffman (left) and Elizabeth Birle pitched the first two perfect games in Winter Springs (Fla.) history in back-to-back games last month.
READ MORE: Florida's best head to Kissimmee Classic
First impressions are a funny thing.
Initially, two pitchers from Winter Springs (Fla.) seem very different. On one hand, you have Elizabeth Birle, a smiley, gregarious junior who oozes positive energy and is frequently seen laughing on the softball field. On the other, you have Kiersten Coffman, a focused, driven senior whose all-business demeanor in the circle might make Donald Trump jealous.
But, as the adage goes, opposites attract, and these two best friends recently accomplished a softball feat that proved they have a lot in common: For two consecutive games, they were both perfect.
Perfect games don't come along very often. They are a rare gem that requires the perfect combination of talent and luck, and rarely does this concoction survive batter after batter for an entire game, much less an entire two games.
Such was the case last month when Winter Springs, which is ranked 19thin the POWERADE FAB 50, looked to bounce back from a narrow 2-1 loss to a district rival with games against 8A teams (the highest level in Florida high school softball) Lyman (Longwood, Fla.) and Lake Brantley (Altamonte Springs, Fla.).
Courtesy of Don BirleElizabeth Birle's response to pitching a perfect game? "Oh, really?"
"Plays like that really make you realize that your fielders have your back," Birle said. "Even if other people don't recognize it, you as a pitcher appreciate the effort even more because they make it look so routine. It really got me going."
She's not kidding. From that point on, it was all Lyman could do to make contact with Birle's pitches, and its hitters never truly squared up on a ball the rest of the night (only two batters got the ball to the outfield).
Calling pitches for Birle that night was her father, Eric, who is an assistant coach on the Winter Springs team.
"I understood Elizabeth had a perfect game going in the top of the fourth, but of course I'm not allowed to say that to anybody else," said Eric, who pitched in college for Old Dominion's baseball team. "So I go up to her after the game and I say, 'Great job! That was a perfect game,' and she goes, 'Oh, really?' "
Classic Birle.
Next up was Coffman, the senior captain who had taken the previous week's loss especially personal. Coffman apologized to the team, saying, "That was my fault, I didn't have enough fun," and told the team that it needed to start taking care of its business. This would be her first opportunity to lead by example in the circle.
Much like Birle's outing the night before, Coffman was on point with her delivery and rarely allowed Lake Brantley hitters to square up on her pitches. In fact, just as in Elizabeth's outing, a mere two balls even escaped the infield's perimeter. Twelve out of 21 batters didn't even get the chance to run to first base as they were retired via strikeout.
Courtesy of Don Birle"I feel that our team is very blessed in that we all love each other," Kiersten Coffman says.
"She has had like 20 no-hitters and 50 one-hitters," Birle said. "But to pitch a perfect game, now you know that you've accomplished something."
The game had to be especially gratifying for Coffman, who will pitch for the University of Delaware next season, as her immense talent may have been slightly underestimated on the collegiate level as a result of nagging injuries her sophomore and junior years.
That's why Winter Springs coach Mark Huaman had to work extra hard to keep his composure during her historic run.
"Every inning I knew [a second consecutive perfect game] was possible, but I also knew that I had to keep my mouth shut," Huaman said. "Then she struck out the last girl on an absolutely evil change-up. I jumped off the ground and the girls made fun of me because they actually saw air underneath my feet."
That's how excited he was. And deservedly so. In the 15-year history of the Winter Springs softball program, there had never been a perfect game. Now there had been two in as many days by as many pitchers.
No runs. No walks. No hits. No errors. No bragging either. The only thing Birle and Coffman did to celebrate was give the other a shout out on Twitter.
That kind of modest leadership is why Winter Springs is aiming to reach at least the state semifinals for the third consecutive year.
"I feel that our team is very blessed in that we all love each other," Coffman said. "I think that's a really unique thing in high school softball, and it really helps me to stay focused on what we're trying to do."
Huaman, a father of three daughters (ages 3, 6, and 9), echoed Coffman's sentiment and credited the leadership of his pitching staff for making his job as a coach much less stressful.
"If my daughters turn out like either of them I will think I did a pretty good job," Huaman said.
And why wouldn't he? After all, they'd be perfect.

BYD's 2011 Profit Falls 44 Percent on 'Fierce' Competition, Solar Slump
BYD Co. (1211), the Chinese carmaker partly owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A), reported a 44 percent drop in net income because of "fierce" competition and slowing sales of solar-energy products.
Profit declined to 1.4 billion yuan ($222 million) in 2011 from 2.52 billion yuan in 2010, the Shenzhen-based company said in a preliminary earnings statement to the city's exchange yesterday. That compares with an average estimate of 968 million yuan of 15 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Sales rose 1.2 percent to 49 billion yuan.
"Fierce competition and structural changes in products," as well as lower prices for solar-energy products, contributed to reduced profitability, according to the statement. The company said on Oct. 28 that full-year profit might decline as much as 65 percent.
Demand for BYD's cars slowed after the government ended buying incentives and the popularity of its top-selling F3 sedan waned. The automaker's third-quarter vehicle sales fell 3.3 percent from a year earlier to 93,960 units, according to China Association of Automobile Manufacturers data.
BYD, formed 16 years ago as a battery maker, began developing electric cars in 2003 when it expanded into automaking. It began selling its E6 electric car to individuals in October, after testing it as a taxi in Shenzhen.
BYD has risen 48 percent this year in Hong Kong trading, compared with a 17 percent gain for the benchmark Hang Seng Index. The stock fell 2 percent to HK$24.90 in Hong Kong yesterday, before the announcement.

Notes from the Manager
As I mentioned on Friday on Flicker / Facebook, I wanted to do a parody of a movie poster, and I settled on Memento. It features Jason and Devi, so it sort of ties in with #363–365, where those two saw Ghajini, a shamless (remake of a) rip-off of Memento — but mostly I just thought it'd make a fun image. I hadn't actually intended on doing it so quickly, but I was having too much fun to stop! You can see the original Memento poster over at IMP Awards.
This sort of lighting is a bit on the complicated/time-consuming side, so no, I don't think I'll be using it in the regular strip, but it does make sense (to me) to use them for special illustrations like this, including the eBook covers. After playing around with the techniques, I have updated the first/only HD edition eBook to a "Second Edition," dated Summer 2009. The updated cover is the main change to the book, but I fixed a few mistakes and may have tweaked a few tiny details in the art, as well.

Pale pink colour. Beguiling and elegant fruit, dry, super-smooth and balanced body. Very moreish.
In the glass it's a burnished bronze with an alluring rim of olive – illustrating the great age of some of the parcels that have gone into this wine.
The nose is at first a cascade of walnuts toasted almonds and rancio (drying, mature complex oak character).
It then opens up to dried fruits, pears and apples with a sprinkling of cinnamon spice, further inspection gives up toffee, dried figs and burnt butter.
The palate is very lively, tingling with spice and lift – a fantastic balance of freshness and age, the sweetness kept in check by the rancio.
It's complex, layered and focused with a silky mouthfeel and great lingering length. -
Blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvedre. This rosé is harmonious and fruity; very pleasant as an aperitif. Its complexity and its broad aromatic pallet comprise great complexity.
Beautiful salmon colour, delicate nose marked by raspberry, blackberry and aromatic spices.
This very elegant bright salmon pink Rosé overwhelms the nose with aromas of freshly picked strawberries, rose petal and cherry flavours. It follows through on the palate with delicious ripe raspberries with a delicate finish.
Attractive onion-skin/salmon pink colour with a very pale hue, this rosé is well-balanced and classy. Ripe and rounded strawberries dominate the nose and on the palate, floral, mineral and savory characteristics give it complexity.
Classic light pink in the glass. A light, bright nose of wild strawberries. Refreshing and smooth on the palate. Moreish finish.
You don't find many Vin de Table of this quality. An explosive nose of strawberry jam, fig, black cherry with animal and tobacco notes. Similar flavours are found on the palate. Supple, savory, superb.
Deep crimson in colour, with a rich, spicy, smoky aroma, showing hints of chocolate and blackberry and a rounded, powerful palate with mouthfilling fruit.
Bright red. Dark berries and cherry on the nose, with complex garrigue, licquorice and olive nuances. Fleshy, pure red and dark berry flavours are complimented by layers of mouthfilling, ripe tannins. Gorgeous sweet fruit on the finish. Overall, a very balanced and elegant prestige blend, without overextraction or excessive alcohol levels.

The rain pours down
Washing all this away
Cleansing my soul
Of sorrow and pain
The heaviness finally dispelling
I think I can breathe
Your presence still lingers
But no longer oppressive
Your warmth surrounds me
Even though you are gone.
So many pages have stains
Black streaks of running ink
From all the tears I've hidden.
As the seasons change so slowly
So life runs the same
I wish time would stop
So I could stay here forever
Lost in this happiness, this peace
That I have finally caught a glimpse of.
I still miss you, wish you were here
But you're not and life still spins
Weaving it's tangled webs around me
But at least now I can see.

The devil in winter
goes riding
over the gentle,
soft, virgin snow -
cloven footprints
burning along
on the trail
and a shiny, black
nightmare stallion -
pawing, snorting,
pushing forward
without hesitence.
They are one
on this ride -
driven, inoportune...
Look out!
the window
and see them there
side by side
in their beauty
for evil has
it's ways
and it's beauty...
in the cold, in the snow
to call you
from your comfortable life,
wake you up
from sleep
and with it's wiles
make you forget
why the fiery one
has arrived.
Stay away!
or come in -
I can already
hear the knock
at the door...
all the same,
all the time,
that delicious,
numbing cold -
and to stroke
the devil's shining steed -
standing impatient,frozen
there on the doorstep
is to feel
no earthly animal
but the barren bite
of another day
in the winter cold
without you...

Mad Dogs And Londoners Go Out On The Boris Bus
Yes, ha ha, very English, muddle through, make a joke, pretend everything's fine. Well, everything is not fine with the WrightBus New Bus For London.
You can use the word "iconic" as often as you like – it doesn't change the fact that the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has inflicted upon London a new bus which is utterly unable to cope with temperatures above, say, 18°C.
16 March 2012: Boris Johnson lavishes fulsome praise on his vanity project, declaring it to have, amongst other fantastic attributes:
amazing new air conditioning
June 2013: The first production models of the bus enter service on route 24. Reports of vehicles frequently breaking down and passengers complain about the high temperatures on the buses and lack of ventilation.
3 July 2013: TfL claim to BBC Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards that:
heat problems on top deck of New Bus on route 24 are fixed
8 July 2013: Boris Johnson declares that the unacceptable temperatures on the bus were merely a teething problem which has been rectified.
This is simply a teething problem and I've spoken to several people who said they had a fine, a fantastic experience on, er, I know there've been some people who've had Bikram Yoga-type experiences, you know, obviously we're sorry for that.
There was a technical problem which has been rectified.
10 July 2013: Transport for London Commissioner, Sir Peter Hendy, takes Thomas Heatherwick, the designer of the New Bus For London, for a spin on an empty bus, armed with a thermometer. Hendy declares that the temperature issue was nothing to do with the lack of opening windows and was merely a manufacturing and operating failure which has now been fixed by the manufacturers:
We found that the new bus, when the cooling is working properly, is cooler than the equivalent latest ordinary bus.
Wright's [the Northern Ireland bus manufacturer] have fixed all the buses on the 24 and are now checking the ones on the 38 and fixing those too.
It's not a political issue, nor is it a fundamental design failure, and it's nothing to do with a lack of opening windows; it's a manufacturing and operating failure which has been fixed by Wrights.
19 July 2013: Passengers on the New Bus For London still complain that it is like travelling on a sauna. Grayson Thermal Systems announce that they have been commissioned by WrightBus to fix the problems with the air conditioning system on the New Bus For London. Those problems which Boris Johnson had claimed had been rectified nearly a fortnight earlier. Those same problems which Sir Peter Hendy subsequently claimed had been fixed by manufacturer WrightBus:
Grayson Thermal Systems is proud to have been commissioned by Wrightbus to fix the problems that Transport for London (TfL) is having with the air conditioning systems on some of its new Routemaster buses.
Grayson service director Ian Hateley said: "Grayson did not supply the air conditioning systems that were installed on the "Boris Buses", but nonetheless we are able to offer a full diagnostic and repair service. We have a large number of service vans and trained technicians based in the London area, and we are geared up to offer a fast and responsive emergency service.
"It's a real shame that the current hot weather has led to problems with these great new buses, but we are confident that Grayson will be able to take the heat out of the situation quickly and efficiently."
5 September 2013: Buses still breaking down. Passengers still complain of unbearably hot temperatures inside the buses. I record a temperature of 32.5°C on both the lower and upper decks of a number 24 bus.
And today, almost a year on from the first production models going into service on route 24?
Massive flaw of the new routemaster.. There are no windows.! So when the aircon fails, everyone's roasting inside. @TfLOfficial
— Joon Shern Soo (@soochilled) May 17, 2014
On a #borisbus & 1st nice w/e of year – top deck is boiling. Blowers noisy but no draught to be felt. Passengers will boil again this year
— Emma Beattie (@EmmaJaneBeattie) May 17, 2014
@TfLOfficial number 10 bus on Oxford street is stupidly hot and no lights working. When will you fix it? #roastmaster #fail
— Steve Rochford (@SteveRochford) May 17, 2014
@TfLOfficial Just got off top deck of new double decker 148. It was so hot & stuffy. Difficult to breathe. Is it safe?
— Ike Anya (@ikeanya) May 17, 2014
Hi @MayorofLondon, @TfLOfficial, are you trying to cook Londoners who use the new Routemasters? Damn hot up here. Aircon shocking.
— Seph Brown (@SephRBrown) May 17, 2014
Would advise no one to use a #borisbus on a hot day except maybe footballers training for the heat of the Qatar World Cup.
— James Lewis (@jmtlewis) May 17, 2014
The new buses are now running on routes 9, 10, 11, 24, 38, 148 and 390. The weather in London over the past few days has been around 20°C and passengers have, again, been complaining that the New Bus For London is like a sauna. Two days ago, I recorded temperatures of 29.4°C on one of the latest batch of new buses on route 148.
Summer is coming. The weather will get hotter. The inability of the New Bus For London to cope with normal spring/summer temperatures must surely be an inherent design flaw, not some "teething problem" that Boris Johnson and various employees of Transport for London repeatedly claimed to have been "fixed" – Londoners deserve better than this.
A brand new bespoke bus, designed and manufactured at great expense, just for Boris Johnson. Claimed to have "amazing new air conditioning" yet temperatures inside the bus have exceeded those at which it is legal to transport animals.
When is Boris Johnson going to admit to us that his new bus is not as described and cancel the remainder of his order of 600 vehicles with WrightBus?
3 Responses to Mad Dogs And Londoners Go Out On The Boris Bus
Jim says:
It is a waste of time complaining about these buses as the real cause is political beyond Boris.
The conservatives need the support of the protestant unionist from NI and so work is "given" to protestant Wrightbus.
I say this because before the NI troubles a catholic could not get a job in Wrights but it may now have changed.
Not only this but taxpayers money has flowed into Wrightbus on the supposition that the NI economy needs help.
Over £1 million to the Streetlite development and the funding of the Borismaster is so shrouded we may not know for years how much it has cost in subsidies, both build and operation.
Now Wrightbus is receiving another lump of money from the taxpayer.
What monies have ADL and Optare on the mainland received.
The result is that the latest figures show that Wrightbus have sold more buses than both on them on the back of this unfair competition.
It is interesting to note that Leon Daniels blog only has a link to Wrightbus. -
FreeBBC says:
The air con *Cough* Cooling needs to be fixed, no wonder there is no ventilation on the top deck because the bus is roasting hot like a crowded Tube Train.
When the NRM went to Singapore, this is the solution Wrightbus had… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uH5woSVdvI
My advice is… Freeze a bottle of water overnight then when you need to ride the bus on the route which is served by New Routemasters, use the frozen water, I bet it melted by the time you exit the bus.
paul markham says:
just got off bus 148 all the way from nottinghill to elephant – way too hot and what air was coming out of vents was lukewarm ill avoid these buses in future just rubbish and bad desigh -need fresh air not air con thats ineffective

Anymore arguing with butt hurts who don't want the skin to be released just add more fuel to the fire in which the people who want to see the Annie skin released as a Promotion to the new and improved Annie Visual. Take the tampon out of your *** (In support of Gothic Annie release)
I'm actually only against them not releasing it because I truly believe the only things in life that should be exclusive are things that are actually earned, and not things that are bought/purchased. Exclusivity is the reason for the divisions in society, such as, exclusive membership at clubs/banks, exclusive memberships to Golf courses, etc. Exclusivity is one of the underlying problems with the world, and this is Riot actively promoting such behavior.

Eat well in the wild with camping dishes
Hot dogs and marshmallows are great for a backyard campout, but you wouldn't want to eat them every night. If you're planning a big camping or fishing trip, you want to ensure that you can have hearty meals cooked over the camp stove. Fortunately Kmart has all your outdoor cooking needs covered with camping dishes and cookware that are both lightweight and durable. Choose between economical and durable stainless steel, lightweight aluminum, or ultra-lightweight titanium pieces for both cooking and eating at the camping table.
Cooking over a campfire or stove can be done with ease when you have the proper instruments, such as a percolator or tea kettle for warm beverages, a griddle for making breakfast, a frying pan for the catch of the day or a soup pot for chuck wagon chili. Of course, you'll also need packable plates, cups, bowls and eating utensils for digging in to your meals in a civilized manner. Just don't forget the most essential item to serving hot food: a fire starter or lighter for starting up the stove.
Don't settle for a less-than-hearty meal when you're on the trail; with camping utensils and dishes, eating in the wild can be a gourmet experience.
