All Crompton's celebrated characters are here: Ginger, Couglas, and Henry, the long-suffering Brown family, oily Hubert Lane, and 6-year-old control-freak Violet Elizabeth Bott. And leading the way, that timeless righter of wrongs, the incomparable William Brown himself.
Listen to more Just William episodes.

"A fabulous read"
Personally I'm a huge fan of Martin Jarvis's interpretation of the Just William stories and thus my rating is biased from the outset. It's not the longest audio book and is a shame it isn't available unabridged, but is superbly read, funny, and should appeal to all ages. My children all adore these stories as do my own parents. Whenever we're in the car together, it is the Just William stories that get the unanimous vote, and this particular book is the one selected the most often.
If you haven't heard any of these stories before, then it is well worth a listen. You are introduced to all of the characters, so doesn't matter that this wasn't the first William book, and Jarvis reads it so wonderfully that it is a few hours of total enjoyment. I loved it!
"Brilliant; shame about the rip."
I love just William and this as always is brilliant. Martin Jarvis loves his subject so dearly that he always brings every story to fantastic wicked life.
The only thing I have to say is that this is a very poor rip from the original cassette version. You can hear the spooling on the track. This would be fine and I don't mind usually, but I really wish audible would put warnings on poor quality recordings. The BBC do this on their sites and on their CD's and I believe it only fair to know what you are buying. There is also some voice drag. How very retro, I feel 8 years old again and frantically trying to rescue my beloved tapes before my player chewed them up!
Apart from that outstanding.

Canonical Puts Out A Hardware List, But It Falls Short
Published on 10 February 2011 02:02 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
8 Comments
Canonical has announced this morning they have released the "world's most comprehensive, up-to-date component catalog for Linux." It's effectively a hardware database showing components they have tested. It's interesting, but of course I have more than a few comments on the matter with some constructive criticism.
The press release announcing the Canonical Component Catalog can be found at
. As said in the press release, "Canonical today announced that for the first time it was making publicly available its complete database of certified components for Ubuntu and Linux — rapidly reducing the the time-to-market for Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) working on Ubuntu or Linux machines."
It's nice for what's publicly available and can be found at
. It lists components by vendors and also by component category. There's also basic search functionality. Though not to serve as an advertisement for
, which will launch by month's end, there's a few areas Canonical could improve upon.
- The press release advertises it as "the world's most comprehensive component catalog", but it contains not even 1,500 components and from just over 160 vendors. In comparison, there's over 1,600
articles on Phoronix
(not counting 5,000+ news posts) with probably 50~60% of those being in-depth hardware reviews (and the remainder of course looking at drivers and other Linux topics). I did nearly all of that testing single-handedly for seven years, yet Canonical and its large hardware team only produces results for slightly more results with less information. Canonical's database doesn't even have motherboards as a category and its graphics cards count is at 126 and its network count is at 116. These are three of the most problematic components for Linux hardware support. It also doesn't appear that Canonical doesn't list the components that fail to work with Ubuntu, but only the ones that pass.
- If Canonical wishes for their database to remain release and up-to-date, they must leverage their large community and user-base, otherwise it will continue to lag. Size of OpenBenchmarking.org? As of this morning, OpenBenchmarking.org has data on 444,894 components spanning 311 vendors and 181 recognized product series from these vendors. There's 35,965 result uploads and 230,468 test completions recorded. Community-provided data must also be trustworthy, but with Ubuntu's massive user-base there's lots of duplicates you can check for and compare, etc to get to a point of self-validation. See
some screenshots from earlier this week
and the last page of
the Core i5 2500K
for some hints of forthcoming announcements. Community data can also be used for what's popular or commonly used to reduce the risk of flaky support.
- Not only should the community be able to help in saying what works for them and what doesn't, but they should be able to provide comments on hardware entries, ask questions, etc.
- The hardware mix in their catalog isn't too great. If you search for something like say "GeForce" (
), you get a handful (23) of results. Nothing too new. The newest NVIDIA GPU it has is a GeForce GT 230M while most of the hardware is GeForce 8/9 class. Nothing for the newest GeForce 4/5 Fermi series. There's just 23 results and that includes GeForce being recognized as an IDE / USB controller, etc where it's a motherboard chipset.
- Like the GeForce results, if searching for something new like P67 or H67 yields no results. Core i5? No results. (Trying to search for the hot topic as of late, Intel's "Sandy Bridge".)
- There isn't too much information. Take for example, their result for
a Radeon HD 4650
graphics card. (Also shown below.) All it basically says is that this ATI GPU is "certified" in Ubuntu 9.10, but it doesn't talk about newer releases. It also doesn't say what drivers it requires. In the case of that particular ASIC, there's open and closed-source support. There's also no support for such hardware owners to comment or answer questions, etc. Here's a comparison of searching the same products on Canonical's Hardware Catalog and Phoronix Media's OpenBenchmarking.org:
The OpenBenchmarking.org version has results for just not one Ubuntu release, but four. It also shows it working with the radeon and fglrx drivers, some of the AIB partners offering the said graphics card, some of the tested kernels and display drivers too. There's also pricing information, performance test results from several different spots, related hardware, related Linux news, and independent industry reviews on the said product. There's also commenting support, statistics, and other information not being shown in the pre-release screenshots. From the results on many of the entires you can also tap the lspci, dmesg, Xorg.0.log, xorg.conf, and other logs if you so wish.
OpenBenchmarking.org search results also change based upon the type of hardware being search. Searching for a motherboard should yield some same, some different, bits of information.
- Canonical's Catalog does do a nice job at listing results for desktops / notebooks / netbooks from the different hardware vendors, which looks to be their main focus of the catalog rather than focusing at the component level to satisfy the home system builders and enthusiasts.
- There's no benchmarks / quantitative performance informatio at all. It just says whether something works or not. Canonical has used the Phoronix Test Suite and they're also still working on
, their own testing solution. But there's no support for uploading these results to Canonical's product catalog or anything else to separate Component #1 from all of the other components that also have a "certified" state.
Looking at the other items I've written about the soon-to-be-released
will yield many other features Canonical could implement to make the "world's most comprehensive, up-to-date component catalog for Linux" much more useful to consumers. Right now it looks like it may do a sufficient job for someone that just wants to know if an off-the-shelf PC will work with Ubuntu Linux, but for anyone else, it will fall short.
The list above is just what immediately came to mind. Or, Canonical, you can contact me and would be happy to collaborate with you (or any distribution and hardware vendor) on OpenBenchmarking.org, which will be publicly unveiled later this month. We all have a common goal of improving Linux hardware support.
More information on it can also be learned
next week in Munich
or the following week in Los Angeles at my Southern California Linux Expo talk about
making better Linux hardware choices
where it will officially be christened.

like, not love I really like this shirt. I only gave it 4 stars though, because it is a little tight in the chest compared to the rest of the measurements. However, I have a large chest so this would fit an average sized girl perfectly. Also, the back is more sheer than I had anticipated from pictures. September 11, 2014
Cute Summer Top! I'm glad I tried this tank on. I love the neutral shades of tan/pink and subtle shimmer. This top is a bit on the looser side, and I like that its on the longer side. Its nice that you can't see through the material in front. I recommend buying your normal top size, or size down one if you are in between sizes. Give this top a try! July 7, 2014
Great Tank Ordered this, loved it! Looks super cute on and you can dress it up for work or wear with a great pair of jeans/shorts. It's comfy and is not see through! I'm 5'2'', 127pds, just had a baby and the XS fit perfect! Just be sure you have a washer with a delicate cycle and hang to dry! June 20, 2014
Great Wish it came in more colors. I am 5'3, 132 lbs, and ordered XS. Still slightly baggy, but cute. Nice shimmer. June 20, 2014

Penn-Leiden Colloquia on Ancient Values VIII: Landscapes of Value
Thursday, 19 June 2014
Cohen Hall Terrace Room, University of Pennsylvania
Modern concerns with the environment and the place humans occupy in the natural world have led to better understanding of the complex ways in which humans interact with and construct space. How do we map the landscape and give it meaning? What is the relationship between the world of mountains, rivers, plains and rocks, and the human presence in these landscapes? How we occupy or use the natural world around us is influenced by, and in turn shapes, epistemologies of time and every other aspect of culture. The landscape is an integral component in human perceptions of the differences between wild and civilized, and nomadic and agricultural, just as these in turn give shape to ideas of identity, belonging, foreignness and gender. Undoubtedly for the Greeks and Romans the landscape was the primary location for articulating the subtle and fluid relationship between the human and the divine. This conference is designed to investigate these questions in relation to the rich tradition of imbuing the landscape of the Greek and Roman worlds with meaning. From the location of Minoan peak sanctuaries to the significance attached to battlefields, to the elusive place of landscape in pastoral poetry, every aspect of ancient Mediterranean culture interacted in powerful and significant ways with the landscape.

From Constantinople to Cappadocia
Sunday, 13 April 2014
Penn Museum , University of Pennsylvania
With the expansion of its current exhibition, Sacred Spaces: The Photography of Ahmet Ertug (in the Merle-Smith Galleries), the Penn Museum presents this afternoon program which focuses on two important areas of Byzantine cultural activity. Constantinople (now Istanbul) was the undisputed capital of Byzantine culture, well known for its resplendent, mosaic-filled churches. While the volcanic region of Cappadocia (in central Turkey) is less well-known, artists from Constantinople painted many of its well-preserved cave churches. This program examines the respective artistic contributions of both, with a keynote address delivered by Dr. Anthony Cutler, Professor of Art History, Penn State University—an expert on the history of Byzantine art. Sponsored by the Center for Ancient Studies.

Visual Cultures of Greater Iran: The Art of the Sasanians, Kushano-Sasanians and the 'Iranian' Huns in Bactria
Wednesday, 2 April 2014
Judith Lerner, ISAW
Jaffe Building 113, University of Pennsylvania
Within a few years of its founding in western Iran, the Sasanian dynasty (224 – 650 CE) spread its control into Bactria (present-day Afghanistan) first by direct rule and then through that of viceroys, the Kushano-Sasanians. By the mid-4th century, however, various Hunnic groups had entered Bactria, challenging Persian rule and eventually dominating the region for the next 200 years. Not surprisingly, the art produced during these tumultuous centuries reflects the varied cultures, religions and ethnicities in Bactria. This talk will survey the painting, sculpture, metalwork and glyptics of these different people, as well as assess the impact on this art of Bactria's legacy of Hellenistic culture brought by Alexander hundreds of years earlier.

Saturday, 29 March 2014
Penn Museum Widener Lecture Hall, University of Pennsylvania
Anta Montet White, Teresa Raczek, Gilliane Monnier, Barbara Roth, Beth Alpert Nakhai, Alison Brooks, Lara Fabian Panelists: John Yellen, Brian Rose, Richard Leventhal, Holly Pitman Organizers: Harold Dibble, Yoko Nishimura, Lauren Ristvet, Salam Al Kuntar, Deborah Olszewski Archaeology is a field that has traditionally been dominated by men, and even though women tend to outnumber men in undergraduate programs, their numbers decline significantly through graduate school and ultimately in tenured positions. Why such a decline occurs is one of the questions this workshop will explore. Women rarely take on the role of Project Directors, and instead are more typically included as senior personnel, lab specialists or collaborators. This event will consider how the situation that archaeologists face have changed over the last fifty years. By bringing together women of all ages, we will be able to address the question of whether these issues have improved over the past several decades, if they have stayed the same, or even deteriorated Free for Penn students, faculty and staff Program 9:00 AM Introduction 9:15-10:30 Morning session 1: Speaker Presentations 10:30-10:45 Coffee break 10:45-12:30 Morning session 2: Speaker Presentations 12:30-2:00 Lunch Break 2:00-3:30 Afternoon session 1: Panel Discussions 3:30-3:45 Coffee break 3:45-5:00 Afternoon session 2: Panel Discussions Evening Lecture - 6PM - Jennifer Houser Wegner: Women in Ancient Egypt For further information please contact: Yoko Nishimura email@example.com

Josephus, Ant. books 17-20
Thursday, 27 March 2014
Ra'anan Boustan, UCLA
Cohen Hall 2nd Floor Lounge, University of Pennsylvania
Seminar Our fifth meeting of this year's PSCO will be Thursday, March 27 at 7:00–9:00 pm in the Second Floor Lounge of Cohen Hall. Our theme this year is "Rethinking Josephus' Antiquities". Ra'anan Boustan (UCLA) will join us to discuss books 17–20 (i.e., death of Herod onward), focusing on the theme of "Novelistic Digressions in Josephus' Jewish Antiquities 18 and 20: On the Moral Logic of Triumph and Disaster." Suggested Readings In preparation, he asks that we read the following. Jewish Antiquities 18.65-84: the narratives of Paulina the devotee of Isis and Fulvia the Jewish proselyte; compare Pseudo-Callisthenes, The Alexander Romance, book 1.1-22 (in B. P. Reardon, Collected Ancient Greek Novels [Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989], 654-68); [2] Jewish Antiquities 18.310-379: on the Jews of Babylonia and the brothers Asinaeus and Anilaeus; compare 1 Macc 2:15-41 and 2 Macc 8:1-29; [3] Jewish Antiquities 20.17-96: the conversion of Izates, king of Adiabene, and his mother Helen. The Pseudo-Callisthenes selection has been posted on the PSCO Facebook page. If you'd like a copy by email, contact Alex Ramos: (alexram@sas ). Meeting and Dining All are welcome! As usual, those wishing to dine together before the seminar will meet at 6:00 p.m. in the Second-Floor Lounge of Cohen Hall and then go next door to the food court in Houston Hall. Or just meet us in the Houston Hall downstairs food-court between 6:00pm and 6:45pm. As usual, the PSCO seminar will begin at 7:00 p.m. and end at 9:00 p.m. We meet in the Second-Floor Lounge of Cohen Hall. I see that those who wish to compose histories do not have one and the same motive for their zeal; rather, their reasons are many and very different from one another. (Josephus, Antiquities 1.1) The works of the first-century CE Jewish historian Josephus are widely recognized as the most important Jewish historical sources from antiquity. They are invaluable not only for the study of Jewish history but also for the study of the early Roman Empire and the beginnings of Christianity. Nevertheless, Josephus' magnum opus, the Antiquities—a twenty-volume account of Jewish history from Creation to the first Jewish revolt against Rome—remains understudied. Scholars have tended to mine this work for exegetical or historical information, rather than exploring its larger themes and aims. Its account of the Hellenistic and early Roman periods have been studied in relative isolation from its "biblical retellings." Disciplinary divisions have resulted in different conceptions of the Antiquities—that is, either as Jewish biblical retelling or as Greek historical writing. Our aim for the 51st PSCO is to work towards a more integrative understanding of the Antiquities. We plan to divide the work into five sections and hold a series of five text-centered sessions. In each session, the speaker will be asked to speak to issues or problems that he or she considers to be important for understanding the section in question. As a group, then, we will move sequentially through the entirety of the Antiquities over the course of the year. We will also explore the Antiquities from the perspectives of different subfields. Rather than inviting only specialists in Josephus, we will draw speakers from the fields of Biblical Studies, Classics, Ancient History, and early Christianity. In the process, we plan to use a focus on the Antiquities to explore new approaches to history, memory, and writing in antiquity. What comparanda from among Hellenistic, Roman, Jewish, and Christian texts help to locate the discourses about the past in the Antiquities? Are the traditional categories of "biblical retelling" and Greco-Roman historiography an impediment to interpreting the Antiquities as a whole? Are there other, more useful categories? These are some of the overarching questions that we hope to address through this year's PSCO. Alex Ramos, Jacob Feeley, and Jae Han are organizing our sessions this year.

Last night, Governor Rick Perry attempted to recover from his pretty catastrophic mental breakdown at the Republican Debate the other day by delivering David Letterman's "Top Ten List" on The Late Show. The category: "Top Ten Rick Perry Excuses."
Robert Pattinson appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to lament how he's "not British enough" anymore—and how he plans to rectify this—and the not-entirely-successful event of imprinting his hands and feet in cement at the Grauman's Chinese Theater with Twilight costars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.
Kristen Stewart paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! to play a game where she guesses if black-clad visitors to Hollywood are there to see Breaking Dawn or the Megadeth concert. She also went into detail to explain what they had to cut out of her love scene with Robert Pattinson to keep from reaching an R-rating.
Finally, also on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jon Bernthal, who plays Shane on The Walking Dead, spoke about being stuck next to a die-hard fan on a five-hour flight on the way to his son's birth. Apparently the fan made Bernthal give a behind-the-scenes commentary on the entire first season DVD of the series.

I had the perfect stay here, was made very welcome by Joseph and Nery. They couldn't do enough for you. The food was awesome. And the dorms were very clean. Good value for money.
Can't wait to come back.
Zoe from England
This staying was really very nice, beautiful, clean, ... We also got breakfast and dinner ( included in the price) which was made by the owner and was very good!It's a very beautiful place to stay and to discover Capurgana which is also worth to visit.
Sometimes, there isn't enough elektricity in Capurgana so our fan didn't work any more...
We had a great time at this place. The location is beautiful, a short walk from the village and therefore very tranquil and surrounded by nature. Joseph picked us up from the dock and is very helpful. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Neri is a great chef and her meals are absolutely delicious (and reasonably priced). Therefore there was...
We stayed 3 nights at Cabaña Darius and we had the best time ever! The food is amazing and the rooms are super clean. Josef is really knowledgable and so helpful. The house is out of town and away from noise but really close to a lonely beach. Chilling in a hammock or waking alone on the beach.... it's like...
We stayed here for 4 nights. Nery and Joseph were the best hosts: they cooked awesome fish in coconut milk, healthy breakfast and decent coffee. Joseph picked us up from the boat with his horse and cart. Whenever we had a question, they helped us.
The Cabana Darius is a wonderful place in the jungle, surrounded by big trees, flowers...
Made mistake of going to Capurgana during winter holidays, accommodation was either very expensive or a dump. Found this place, clean, affordable, and they couldn't have been nicer. 5 stars all day. Food and drink available which saves you from the walk into town.
After going through purgatory by boat from Turbo to Capurgana, I arrived in paradise. I did stay 6 nights in the lovely Darius Cabana. All in all this guesthouse is just down right excellent value for your money: its location in the jungle and 15 mins outside of sometimes noisy Capurgana, nice and clean rooms...but above all the food which...
There was a horse and carriage waiting for us at the dock to take us to Cabana Darius. It was the perfect distance from town. It's only a 10-15 minute beach walk to Capurgana proper and yet it still has that jungle feel to it. The rooms were spotless and the sheets were changed frequently. Neri and Joseph grow much...
We spent 3 nights at the Cabana Darius.
The place may not be for everyone, since it is a little far from "downtown" Capurgana: it's a 15 minutes walk from the dock, including crossing a stream (which may be very easy or a bit hard, depending on recent rains). It is also not on the shore, although you can reach...
We spent 1 week in the small town just relaxing from the rest of Colombia. This small hotel is perfect to get away. It is a short walk out of town along the beach or on the main dirt back road. It is very quite and the rooms are fantastic. The beds, the bathroom, hammocks, everything is high standards for...

Better train than plane
Although it took 11 hours to get from DC to Randolph, it was A LOT better than flying since we would still be waiting for our flight today I bet. We scooted out of DC just as THE BIGGEST STORM EVER was coming in. Didn't really see much snow at all on the way up but Amtrack did cancel all northbound trains the next day.
So you know how the train goes - sway sway, choo choo, read, sleep, eat, stand up and stretch - repeat. But it was a bit surprising ...
The Very Beginning
The trip to New York City began at 6:30am on Monday, 1/26/2015. Unexpectedly, we had to leave an entire day early to beat the storm Juno, coming up the East Coast. Mom and I left the house and went to Rutland, where we got coffee, rations and a ...

Final-play breakdown tells story
BOSTON -- It seemed like an appropriate final scene, even in a game the Celtics seemed desperate to give away.
After spearheading a feverish late-game rally, Boston captain Paul Pierce found himself with the ball and a chance to punctuate a four-game sweep -- a sweep he had alluded to six days earlier on national TV -- with a trademark game-winner.
With the clock winding down, Pierce dribbled right on J.J. Redick and broom goes the dynamite.
In a perfect microcosm of Boston's night, Pierce lost control of the ball and couldn't recover as the clock ran out. The game spilled into overtime, where the Celtics continued to sputter, allowing Orlando to emerge with a 96-92 triumph in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals that kept its season alive.
"We didn't want to call a timeout," said Pierce, explaining how the final play unfolded. "It was a pick-and-roll, me and Ray Allen. I just pretty much screwed it up, pretty much turned the ball over, and that's all it is. I couldn't get the final shot. Sometimes it happens that way, but that's no excuse. We still had opportunities in overtime and we didn't take advantage of it."
In building a six-game postseason winning streak, the Celtics have excelled by being everything they weren't late in the regular season. Now, on the verge of returning to the NBA Finals, the Green suddenly reverted to the puzzling team that played pedestrian basketball from late December to mid-April.
Monday's loss was eerily reminiscent of an overtime loss to the Houston Rockets in early April, in which Celtics coach Doc Rivers swore that it was still April Fools' Day, considering his team's atrocious execution.
After that game, the Big Three convened for a rare dinner together to discuss the state of the 2009-10 Celtics. Boston rebounded two days later with a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Easter Sunday, starting the process by which the Celtics restored their championship hopes.
There's probably no need for the Big Three to break bread before Wednesday's Game 5 in Orlando, but Monday's loss was a subtle reminder of how difficult the Celtics can make their own lives when they're not mentally focused.
"The execution was so bad I thought we executed poorly throughout the game," Rivers said. "We didn't make the next rotations, we didn't make the next pass. It was amazing how bad we were, execution-wise, and we still had a chance to win that game. That was amazing to me."
There were a couple of plays down the stretch, offensively, that we botched. Plain and simple. Going into overtime, we didn't even get a shot up at the basket. We were rushing. It just didn't seem that we had or were in great sync there in the fourth quarter, offensively. We're kicking ourselves because we had great opportunities still." -- Ray Allen
The final play of regulation summed up the entire night for a Boston team that couldn't get out of its own way.
"We didn't execute it at all, I can tell you that," Rivers said. "It was supposed to be Paul at the top with a pick-and-roll with Ray. The floor was supposed to be flat and spaced. When you look at it, half our team was standing next to Paul."
Boston spent much of the game playing from behind after a lackluster first half and, despite staring at a seven-point deficit with just 2:24 to go, managed to tie the game while leaning on Pierce and Allen.
When Jameer Nelson missed a 21-footer with 16 seconds to go, Kevin Garnett hauled in the rebound and Boston made the decision to skip the timeout and go for the immediate win.
Stan Van Gundy would later admit he liked that decision -- maybe because the play crumbled -- but noted that Orlando was stuck with a smaller lineup, including Nelson playing with five fouls.
The Celtics couldn't capitalize. Both Redick and Nelson came over to defend Pierce, leaving Rajon Rondo alone on the wing, but with Pierce dribbling toward Rondo, he abandoned the idea of passing given how crowded it became. Pierce then lost the ball dribbling back to his left and stumbled to the court trying desperately to recover it as time expired.
"There were a couple of plays down the stretch, offensively, that we botched. Plain and simple," Allen said. "Going into overtime, we didn't even get a shot up at the basket. We were rushing. It just didn't seem that we had or were in great sync there in the fourth quarter, offensively. We're kicking ourselves because we had great opportunities still."
The final play ended with Pierce hunched over at midcourt in disbelief, while Rondo fumed near the Boston bench, to the point that Rivers called him over to calm him down a bit.
Rondo wouldn't use the muscle spasms that chased him to the locker room in the final minutes of the first half as an excuse for his subpar performance, but it's obvious that when he struggles, so does Boston's offense.
As the floor general, Rondo seemed slightly irked that he didn't get a chance to set up the play, or even get the shot when the defense roamed away from him.
Asked his thoughts on the final play and not calling a timeout to set something up, Rondo noted, "That's what Doc wanted, we just didn't come up with the shot."
And did the play develop as it should have? "Yeah, we wanted [Pierce] with the ball, [but] they made the play."
Orlando was hardly flawless and actually only pulled away in overtime when Nelson made a pair of "Are you serious?" 3-pointers, banking one (he didn't call it) and rainbowing the other, while scoring the first six points of the offensively anemic extra session.
At times neither team seemed like it wanted to win. But the Magic did, and now they've made things a bit more interesting as the series shifts back to Orlando for Game 5.
The Celtics (who lead the series 3-1) know they must clean up their mistakes quickly, because it won't matter how big a series advantage they have if they continue to execute like they did on the final play of regulation.
"It's frustrating because when we look at ourselves, what I remember from the plays, I don't think we executed the way we know how to execute and that really hurt us in the end," Glen Davis said. "I think that really hurt us, we didn't get the plays we wanted, we didn't use the personnel the way they were guarding us, we didn't use that well.
"But the coach is going to see that. Rondo is going to see that, and everyone is going to look at the tape and we are going to try to bounce back and get this game."

Led Zeppelin Releases New Version of 'Black Dog'
Stream a previously unheard version of 'Black Dog' ahead of the forthcoming reissue of Led Zeppelin's 'IV.'
Stream a previously unheard version of 'Black Dog' ahead of the forthcoming reissue of Led Zeppelin's 'IV.'
Led Zeppelin fans turned out in droves for the first wave of the band's deluxe catalog reissues, and now it's time to get ready for the next round.
One of the best "coming of age" films, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, premiered August 13, 1982- 32 years ago today.
Ultimate Classic Rock counts down every canonical Led Zeppelin album, from worst (relatively speaking, of course) to best.
Led Zeppelin's Aug. 4, 1979 concert at the Knebworth Festival would mark their final UK appearance with John Bonham.
Robert Plant is getting sick of Jimmy Page talking about a Led Zeppelin reunion.
Led Zeppelin continues its album-by-album reissue project with sets devoted to 'IV' and 'Houses of the Holy.'
In July of 1977, the death of Robert Plant's son changed Led Zeppelin forever.
The guitarist noted a renewed interest in the band after a trio of huge reissues.
If you're going to cover a Led Zeppelin song, you better do it right!
Think you need six strings, a stack of amps, and a few pedals to do justice to Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love'? Think again.
Page arrived for their initial sessions with a clear idea of what he wanted to do.

Lazy seed sower...
Hi all,
As I was putting away the garden hoses and looking over my yard, I wondered what seeds can you just toss in the ground and they come up. In other words, they thrive on neglect. Cosmos comes to mind. I remember growing these years ago.
What other seeds thrive on neglect using my lazy seed sowing method?!
It is funny you say cosmos is one of those. I know my Mum's always reseeded themselves, but I have had almost no luck getting them to grow. I think I must be burying them too much, if they like neglect they probably prefer to be on the surface.
Black-eyed susans are my number one favorite grow themselves all over the place plant. I bought my Mum's house 3 years ago, and about 12 years before that I gave her 3 black-eyed susans, which were some of the many offspring of a tag-along volunteer I got with a raspberry bush 19 years ago. There are now hundreds of black-eyed susans, all within about 100 feet of the house, and I was flinging the seeds further around the yard this fall. Any kind of plain white/yellow daisy spreads itself pretty well, too.
I have also been informed that Sweet Annie is so vigorous as a grow it yourself that someone has advised me to rip them out when I asked about the seeds.
Marcia, also a lazy gardener
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
If you just toss the cosmos seeds on the soil surface, they will come up. I tried this when I first started gardening around 12 years ago and they sprouted up with no problem. Zinnias are the same way. Anyway, I know what you mean about black-eyed Susans. I love this plant!
You can also sow cleome, dill, cilantro, chamomile, angelica, blackberry lily, and verbena bonairiansis. I have also had success with columbine. These are all heavy seeders and will come up on their own. Most are easy to weed out if they end up where you don't want them.
I've found certain vegetable greens if allowed to set seed, will self sow themselves for a fall crop and that second growth will set seed for next spring. It's just a simple matter of moving the volunteers into their own area and composting the rest. It seems every fall I mis a few nasturium seed and get volunteers. I leave them growing where they will. Even lazier than hand scattering.
I 've been told by a master gardener here that her night flowering datura (white) self sows in a gravel bed each year.
I've been told here on GW that teh other types of datura don't self sow that easily.
Another plant that self sows is linaria. Some of my collected seed blew out of the garage and then bloomed there in the gravel- as a little surprise to me!
A neighbor here lets the sweet peas fall from the vine and never replants them.
anthemis (kelwayi) also called chamomile- self seeds and blooms the same season for a second flush of blooms, as does salvia 'transyanica' and california poppy.
morning glories and catmint, do this to a fault- Aaargh!
You'd be surprised how many seeds on the list by Thompson and Morgan say "surface sow"
I would like to add Larkspur, Lychnis coronaria, Euphorbia marginata, Centaurea cyanus, Echinacea purpurea to your list. I flung the seeds everywhere in my garden and let them grow at will.
Marcia, the plain white/yellow daisy must be Feverfew. I love that one too. I have at least 4 forms of them and scatter the seeds everywhere in the garden. If there are too many of them, I just pull them out.

Customer reviews
By Wendy Anscombe 17 Nov 2011
This book is beautifully presented with 20 projects that are actually useful.
Each project has a difficulty rating, but the intructions and diagrams are so thorough, that even a beginning sewist could tackle some of the more highly rated patterns without too much trouble.
I have made several of the items, and each has been well received by the recipient - high praise indeed!

My copy arrived today while two of my girlfriends were visiting and we all studied it together. There are so many lovely projects that I just can't wait to get started. There is a good mix of clothing, toys and other useful items. I think I will start with the red riding hood, the messenger bag and the cosy winter hood. I have birthdays, Christmas and baby showers covered for at least the next 2 years! I think my sister may also receive a copy of this book for her birthday. It is just so lovely!

14:15 the Lord will . . . root up Israel out of this good land. The possibility of exile for apostasy is raised in the Mosaic covenant (Deut. 28:63, 64; 29:28), in Joshua's farewell speech (Josh. 23:15, 16), and in Solomon's temple prayer (8:33, 34, 46–53).
Asherim. Probably carved figures of the Canaanite goddess Asherah, a consort of Baal (Ex. 34:13; Deut. 12:3; Judg. 3:7).
