CHAPEL HILL – Marcus Paige offered a simple explanation of No. 14 North Carolina's 86-83 loss to Texas on Wednesday night.
"They played harder than us, they out-ran us, they out-rebounded us and that's why we lost," Paige said.
His reasoning was basically an extension for that of coach Roy Williams.
"I'm not very pleased with our intensity, with our effort, with our concentration," said a fuming Williams. "It was ridiculous in the first half, second half we tried harder."
North Carolina's rally in the second half – the Tar Heels (7-3) trailed by 10 with less than 8 minutes left – fell short when Paige's potential game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer seemingly hit every part of the rim before bouncing to the floor. That sent what had been a fired-up Smith Center crowd to the exits devoid of any good vibes from this past weekend's victory against Kentucky.
"I got a clean look. It was out a little further than we would have liked it, but I got a clean look at the basket," Paige said. "It just rimmed out. We ran it exactly the way it was designed."
The Tar Heels needed Paige's shot to fall after they failed to secure the biggest rebound of the game. With 7.1 seconds left, Texas' Isaiah Taylor missed two free throws. But Taylor rebounded the second one and scored on a put-back – totaling the Longhorns' 20th offensive rebound of the night, a crippling theme for North Carolina.
"Guys have to get out there and box out, go after the dadgum basketball instead of letting people run by you and get the daggum rebound every time," Williams said.
Paige led the Tar Heels with 23 points, 15 of which came in the second half. He was the focus of a box-and-one defense employed by Texas (10-1) at times and was held scoreless from the 11:30 mark of the second half until there was 25 seconds remaining. North Carolina was boosted by the return of Leslie McDonald, who hit four 3-pointers and scored 15 points in a reserve role. James Michael McAdoo chipped in 11 points, but had two rebounds and was limited to 22 minutes because of foul trouble. It was such a sultry performance that Williams was examining the NCAA rulebook after the game, and not to check the status of McDonald or P.J. Hairston.
"I am not happy guys, I am not in the dadgum Christmas spirit," Williams said. "I told them we were going to practice at midnight. I told them we better check the NCAA rules, so we cannot practice at midnight. We cannot practice until 5 a.m. Everybody's (butt) will be in here at 5 a.m. (this) morning."
North Carolina's free-throw woes hit an all-time low, with the Tar Heels going 24-for-47. In the second half, that mark was 10-for-25. Whereas 19 missed free throws against Kentucky on Saturday proved a nuisance, 23 missed free throws against Texas proved to be one of a couple Achilles' heels for the Tar Heels.
"I'm tired of talking about free throws, you've got to be tough enough to step up and make the dadgum thing, or go play soccer or something," Williams said.
The Tar Heels' other undoing came in rebounding, with Texas holding a 51-42 advantage. But that number was 29-15 in the Longhorns' favor for the first half, and was an unsolvable riddle for North Carolina's Kennedy Meeks.
"I can't even tell you (why). Just effort, man," Meeks said. "It's a bad feeling right now in the locker room."
The game got enough to as much of an ominous start as possible for the Tar Heels when forward Joel James crumpled to the floor after the first possession. The massive 6-foot-10, 280-pound sophomore writhed in pain and was helped off the court without putting weight on his right knee. He didn't return to the game and never came to the bench as a spectator.
"I think at this time, it's just all guesswork until they do the MRI," Williams said. "I think that (team trainer) Doug (Halvorson) said he thinks it looks like an MCL, he thinks the ACL is OK. We'll just have to wait and do the MRI."
TIP INS …: Twice in his news conference, Williams mentioned Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson, whose post-game tirade Tuesday night drew national attention. "Barry Hinson is a great friend of mine, so I'm not going to copy what he did. But I'm not very pleased," Williams said to begin his opening statement. … The teams combined for 55 fouls and 80 free throws. Coupled with the combined 56 fouls and 88 free throws when North Carolina and Kentucky met, the Smith Center has seen its share of whistles in the past 5 days. … Texas coach Rick Barnes said he wanted to foul North Carolina before Paige's last-second 3-point attempt, but his assistant coaches talked him out of it. "I told them, 'You guys better be glad that he didn't make that shot,' " Barnes said.

Plus he has provided us with scoring as necessary. Props to Pau. Just imagine if that trade never happened where we'd be right now.
Howard was phenomenal against Cleveland... Then again he was checked by the slow footed Ilgauskas, the physically overmatched Varejao or the glacially fast Ben Wallace. The last two were also not the low post scoring threats where Howard have to expend energy on the defensive end. Howard now cannot take breaks on defense...must now play straight up with his defensive assignments. Howard while a great weakside help defender is really not ALL THAT on an individual basis.

entry or mid-level Dslr
by jplv - 1/13/13 7:08 PM
I am new in the DSLR's camera world. Right now I am testing the Canon T4i and the Pentax K30,,. I know that both cameras are entry level DSLR. My question is: Is it smarter to just purchase the mid-level camera as opposed to the entry-level camera, knowing that at some point I might just advance to the mid-level/semi-pro camera anyway. (Basically, should I just skip over the entry and go right into the mid-level territory instead having to upgrade later on and spend more$?)Q#2- Which camera is a better choice as an entry level,T4i or pentax k30(better camera overall) and the same question for the mid-levels pentax k5,nikon D 7000 or,sony a77

Voter turnout was low in Onslow County, but election officials said that was no surprise.
Of 94,004 registered voters, 8,416 or 8.95 percent cast a ballot in the Nov. 5 municipal election. Of those, 1,038 voted early.
"It was low but we sort of expected that. It's an off year for the county residents. The towns, it may be about average; but for the county, it was an off year," Onslow County Board of Elections Director Rose Whitehurst said.
During the 2011 municipal election, 5.99 percent of the county's registered voters cast a ballot, according to the Onslow County Board of Elections. The 2009 municipal election had a 11.42 percent turn out.
Among those casting ballots Tuesday were Janet Humphrey and her 18-year-old daughter, Paige Humphrey.
The Humphrey women made Paige's first time voting a mother-daughter adventure at Jacksonville Commons Recreation Center.
"It's my first time and I guess it's like my voice gets to be heard and you get to be informed on something and make decisions," Paige Humphrey said.
Her mother said that the school bond referendum was the only item available on their ballot, but it was important for them to go vote.
"Many people gave their lives for us to have that right," she said.
Paige Humphrey said that she felt pretty good after voting for the first time.
In Carteret County, 14.78 percent of the county's 21,960 registered voters cast a ballot.
Cape Carteret resident Mike Taylor said that Dave Fowler, who was named the town's mayor, was his favorite candidate on the ballot but he hopes that whoever gets elected will clean the gutter along N.C. 24.
"I think there has been a bigger turnout than expected, considering it's just a normal election and not a midterm or anything. I've noticed more campaign flyers than usual," Taylor said.
Emily Williams was at Western Park Community Center with her husband, Connor, to support her unopposed candidate, who she declined to name.
"People may think it's OK to forget about someone running without opposition, but it's important we still get out there and vote," she said.
Whitehurst said that this municipal election was similar to those in the past and everything went well.
"Once you have the training and the people come back that have worked before, they know what they're doing and it just makes for a smooth election," she said.
Judy Combs, assistant judge of Jacksonville precinct, said that First Presbyterian Church had a steady flow of voters.
"We haven't had long lines but we have had people continually all day long, which was a pleasant surprise," she said.
Combs said that the precinct didn't see many hot topics other than the school bond but did see a "very smooth day with things going according to plan."
Carteret County Board of Elections officials were not immediately available for comment.
The Emerald Isle precinct was one of the hotspots of voting activity in Carteret County as voters arrived in a steady stream, particularly to decide who will serve as the town's new mayor. Incumbent Mayor Art Schools decided not to seek re-election and four candidates stepped up with interest to fill the seat.
Nearly 600 ballots were cast by mid-afternoon in addition to the 250 ballots from early voting, a turnout well above what incumbents say they saw during previous unopposed races.
"This is exciting," said incumbent Commissioner Maripat Wright as she greeted voters.
While the overall voter turnout was low, precinct officials at the Western Park Community Center in Cedar Point were happy to see a good mix of voters, with a nearly even balance between those voting in the contested Cedar Point race and those coming out for the unopposed Cape Carteret races.
"I think it shows people are interested in voting, even in an off year," said Bev Stone, chief judge for the precinct.

Campaign themes
On his campaign website, Akselrod listed eight main issues:[1]
- Public Safety: "Government's first priority is to ensure the safety and security of its citizens. I believe government must protect our communities from criminals and respond to threats and acts of terrorism. Law enforcements officials must be provided with the tools necessary to do their jobs safely and efficiently."
- Jobs and the Economy: "job creation is my number one priority. Our economy will not grow unless the government creates jobs. I know that the backbone of our economy is the small businesses and I will work to increase public-private partnerships to help small businesses grow and create new jobs in our community. I will fight to cut government red-tape that impedes job-growth and will fight to pass tax cuts for small business that are looking to expand."
- Education: "As Assemblyman, I will work to reduce school overcrowding and fund after-school activities. As a father of five children, I am well aware of the economic burden paying for school. I will champion the fight to provide more educational funding for families of lower incomes. Additionally, I will make private school education more affordable by allowing lower income families vouchers and tuition tax credits."
- Taxes: "As Assemblyman, I will be a powerful voice for middle-class taxpayers and will work to reduce our tax burden. I will fight to reduce government waste and bureaucracy, which in turn will reduce taxes."
- Government Reform: "As Assemblyman, I will fight for more accountability, full disclosure, comprehensive campaign finance reform, increased penalties for public corruption, and the stripping of public pensions for elected officials who are convicted of wrongdoing."
- Environment: "As State Assemblyman, I champion the fight to protect our environment, working to protect our parts and open spaces for future generations."
- Health: "I will work to improve access to healthcare for all citizens. I will fight against unnecessary cuts to vital healthcare programs and work to decrease healthcare cost and improve its quality."
- Transportation: "I will fight to assure that residents of South Brooklyn will be provided with efficient public transportation and safe roads. I will fight against tolls on East River Bridges and will work to return existing toll roads and bridges to reasonable rates."
- See also: New York State Assembly elections, 2012
Akselrod ran in the 2012 election for New York State Assembly District 45. He was defeated by incumbent Steven Cymbrowitz in the Democratic primary on September 13, 2012, but won in the Independence Party of New York State primary. He was defeated by Cymbrowitz in the general election which took place on November 6, 2012.[2][3]

With a couple of uncharacteristic non-conference losses, Kinston coach Perry Tyndall has been preaching the need to start games with intensity.
Thursday night, the Vikings outscored Greene Central 34-17 in the first half and beat the Rams (9-7 overall, 1-2 Eastern Carolina 2A) in scoring each quarter en route to a 69-41 victory, its third on the conference schedule.
"We've just talked a lot about being consistent," Tyndall said. "We've really tried to focus on coming out of the gate with intensity, quit taking the punches and be ready to play. I thought really early we did that."
While Kinston (11-4, 3-0) was able to take it to the Rams early, it wasn't without a fight from a very athletic Greene Central team.
GC coach Jim Cole called the Rams performance a solid effort.
"I don't think the score really reflected how well we played," he said. "They're tremendous shooters, tremendous players. I'm disappointed in the outcome but I'm pleased with our effort."
Brandon Ingram, Kinston's five-star centerpiece, finished the game with 23 points in a double-double, but Tyndall praised the junior's work off the ball as well.
Ingram finished with five assists and five deflections.
"Coming into the game we talked about ball movement, intensity and rebounding, boxing out," Tyndall said. "When we're balanced, we're tough and it works for Brandon's benefit too. When everyone tries to focus on him we have guys who are ready to step up and make plays — and that loosens up things for him."
Brandon Belcher led all Ram shooters with 18 points.
"Brandon is our heart, our courage," Cole said. "He does the same thing every night."
Mykel Hart added 10 for the Vikings.
Kinston, who only practiced once this week due to winter weather, will traveled to Ayden-Grifton (8-7, 1-2) Friday to face the Chargers. Greene Central made its second trip into Lenoir County in as many nights when they visited Deep Run to face off against South Lenoir (11-2, 1-1).
Girls' game:
Shika Mason had a monster night against her former team, draining five first-half 3-pointers — and connecting on a sixth fresh out of the halftime break — to lead Kinston (11-2, 3-0) to a 74-34 thrashing of Greene Central.
Mason who scored her 18th point, all from behind the arc, just a minute into the third quarter, finished with a game high 24 points — and only attempted one more three on the night.
"The biggest thing is that our girls found her … (shooting the ball) is something that she does well." Kinston coach Hubert Quinerly said. "Coming from (Greene Central), we knew she wanted to get (into the game early), and I think she played very level."
Led by Mason's effort, every Vikings player scored against the Rams (1-15, 0-3).
However, it was defensively where the Vikings may have been most impressive.
After giving up only 22 points in the first half, leading 49-22, Kinston scored the first 21 points of the second half, allowing only 1 point in the third quarter — a foul shot by Bria Payton in the quarters waning seconds.
"Defensively, we always have to be ready," Quinerly said. "I thought we did a good job of containing (GC), making them go east and west. I don't think we finished as well around basket but we've come off of two days not being able to practice (due to winter weather)."
Payton finished with a team high 15 points.
Jada Faison was the Vikings only other double-digit scorer with 13. Lydia Rivers and Brittany Drumgoole each added nine.
With the victory, the Vikings extend its conference win streak to 44 straight, dating back to December of 2010.
Kinston 18 16 14 21 —69
Greene Central 9 8 12 12 —41
Greene Central scoring: Brandon Belcher 18, Lee 8, Rozzelle 3, Ormond 3, Warren 2, Davis 2, Suggs 2, Williams 2, Smith 1.
Kinston scoring: Brandon Ingram 23, Mykel Hart 10, Lopez 9, Ham 8, Berry 7, Dunn 7, Canady 5.
Kinston 20 19 21 14 —74
Greene Central 8 14 1 11 —34
Greene Central: Bria Payton 15, Jones 7, Barrett 6, Lee 4, Campbell 2. Kinston: Shika Mason 24, Jada Faison 13, Rivers 9, Drumgoole 9, Harper 8, Addison 6, Davis 4, Mayo 1.

Enterprise email forcing broader changes for the Army
Wednesday - 2/22/2012, 5:15am EST
The Army's move of 1.4 million users to the cloud for email isn't really about enterprise email after all.
Instead, the email-as-a-service is serving as a forcing function to fix long-standing process problems across the department.
Mike Krieger, the Army's deputy chief information officer, said Tuesday the service and its partner, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), which is hosting the email system in its private cloud, implemented the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) to smooth the transition. ITIL is an approach, similar to Lean Six Sigma or ISO 9000, to improve business processes.
"We have made more improvement on business processes between the Army and DISA than you could imagine," Krieger said during the AFCEA D.C. Emerging Technology Symposium in Washington. "The biggest thing that enterprise email has done is establish some discipline in the Army and DISA on ITIL business processes. We didn't have that."
Mike Krieger, deputy chief information officer, Army (CIO.gov)
Krieger said the service solved its migration problems of a year ago because of the changes brought on by ITIL.
He said Microsoft made some significant changes in its commercial product so Army employees can authenticate using their secure identity Common Access Cards in the DISA cloud.
Krieger said the discipline is most evident when the Army and DISA move users to the cloud.
"When we do a migration there's a joint order published by DISA operations and the Army that comes out a week earlier that says here's who migrating, here's how many, here's what color their underpants are. That's never existed," Krieger said. "Enterprise email has little to do with email. The discipline and ITIL business processes that we've established between the Army and our partner are huge."
Costs stay down
The discipline also is helping DISA and the Army stay on cost. Krieger said the Army estimated it was paying $150-to-$190 per person per year before moving to the DISA cloud. Now it's paying about 25 percent of that prior estimate.
The Army received the go-ahead to continue migrations starting March 17 from Secretary John McHugh. The service submitted a report to Congress explaining why its move to DISA makes the most sense. It had suspended new migrations in December.
The Army's move to email also is giving its cybersecurity posture a lift.
May. Gen. Stephen Smith, director, Army's Cyber Directorate (Army)
Maj. Gen. Stephen Smith, director of the Army's Cyber Directorate, said the enterprise email makes it easier to secure the network.
"This screams of standardization, so think about having one email system, one email address. It helps us with DoD identity management," he said. "So all of the efforts not only does it save the Army a tremendous amount of money, but it's better for our user community and from a security perspective, it provides much more enhancement not only today, but to be able to accept new technology particularly in identity management."
Smith said his office is looking for new cyber capabilities with his most pressing need in the identity management area.
He said moving to an enterprise pushes the service to run more technology across its broad network. Smith says that means the insider threat continues to be a big issue.
Email opens door for new services
Rear Adm. David Simpson, vice director of DISA, said he is most concerned about a specific piece of the insider threat.
"The security of the certificates [is] our authentication basis and are the keys to the kingdom as we get more functionality up and down the stack, as we do more with mobility than we ever dreamed of today, [we have to make] sure we identify each of the users within the network and keep the certificates that do that properly secured," Simpson said. "It's where we should be placing our biggest emphasis."
Rear Adm. David Simpson (DISA)
Simpson said DISA will build on the enterprise email offering with other enterprise services, including collaboration, file storage, records management and unified communications.
And it's the identity management piece that opens the door to even more advanced services.
To ensure these cutting edge technologies work, several services are creating oversight boards.
David Green, the chief technology advisor for the Marine Corps, said they have a formal and informal process to look for new technology.
"We hunt technologies," he said. "We are looking around because often times it's that little player that you never even thought of, you've never even heard of and you run into them in San Diego or somewhere else. And all of a sudden, you say 'wow if I bring that into the holistic architecture and it works and plays well with everything else, I am golden.'"
DoD R&D budget is down
Green said the Marines about two months ago created a panel of experts, called the Enterprise Architecture Executive Steering Group, to review new or cutting edge technologies.
"They are actually the resource sponsors and we show how these new technologies would align, and they would be evaluated against our enterprise architecture to determine whether or not it is worth the investment or worth the risk of investment especially with declining budgets," he said.
The research office in the Office of the Secretary of Defense also recently created several oversight groups to review the seven focus areas, such as electronic warfare, data management, autonomy, human systems and cyberscience and technology.
"Each one of these area is being spearheaded by something called a priority steering committee," said Reggie Brothers, the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Research. "Each one of these priority steering committees are made up of members of DoD and elsewhere who have come together to chart a roadmap for these different S&T priorities."
The steering group is specifically working on improving the acquisition process to reduce costs and the time it takes to go from idea to implementation.
This effort comes as DoD's research and development budget is down by 3 percent in the 2013 budget request compared to the 2012 budget request. Brothers and other executives said every DoD service and agency is under pressure to spend money more efficiently and only on their highest priorities.

I've recently gotten a stable dark heresy group up and running and we've had two sessions and it's gone well. They're all new to 40k and most are new to roleplaying. So far we have a psyker, arbite, assassin and tech priest. And a fifth player making a character tomorrow. They had no issues picking what they wanted and I loved that they picked different ones so I didn't have to persuade them to do so as I prefer a diverse group.
Now, they all showed interest for several characters yet none, not one showed much interest for playing Adept or Cleric. I've tried, but it seems like a difficult sale compared to the other careers. Any tips?
Getting people to play adept/cleric, how?!

Run a game where you can't shoot your way through all the "investigations", and where they can't flash their =I= badge around to force cooperation.
You'll find Adepts and Priests useful when you need to interact with people and/or perform research/paperwork. People like to play useful classes.
Watch Fringe and tell me you don't want to play a morbid professor with expertise in biology, psychology, chemistry and electronics (and drug problems).

Currently I'm playing a slightly modified Edge of Darkness, problem is most of the people are babbling idiots when it comes to social interaction the damn Arbite is pretty good at inquiry, or they beat the crap out of a suspect. As per the Edge of Darkness they can't show the badge, and when it becomes an option there will be severe consequences.
Okay, so I can try to sell the adept in as an expert investigator kind of career?
Posted 14 November 2012 - 03:04 AM
Adept is essentially the embodiment of "Knowledge is power." (especially if you take the slightly more radical background package of "Thy name I keep")
Cleric is really more of a jack of all trades type. Well off enough to be socially capable in many situations (they can preach to the poor or the rich), as well as having enough to prop themselves up in combat (flamers, chainswords, etc.). If you run with the BoM faith talents it can get pretty nifty.
As an aside, I've always dreamed of having a one shot campaign where all the players are adepts locked in an administratum building, where there has been a murder. Essentially, an all adept game of Clue.
Its right up there with my dream of a Christmas one shot of Rogue Trader, where Kristoff Kringleson, captain of the Emperor's Sled, must deliver presents (supplies) to all the good boys and girls, and coal (exterminatus) to the vile xenos before the end of the night. All while the GM is narrating the game in the same verse as Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 07:25 AM
I know what you mean. My group is made up of an Arbitrator, an Assassin, a Guardsman, a Psyker and a Tech-Priest and I fear no one of them would ever play an Adept.
I think it is easier to get players to play a Cleric. It is important to emphasize how important the Imperial Creed is to the common citizen (and even the higher ups) of the Imperium. Clerics are almost always respected and about no one dares to cross the Ecclesiarchy either because of its worldly power or because of its spiritual monopoly.
They have a good income as well whcih works as an argument for some players. Further, I think the Cleric (and to a lesser degree the Adept) has access to about the most interesting alternate career ranks in the whole system. Beginning with the Black Priest of Maccabeus, which always fascinated me as one of the first published alternate ranks, and not ending with the Banisher and Arch-Exorcist one could make great characters backgroundwise as well as ruleswise. They also tend to be great leaders/primes of an Acolyte cell.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 08:13 AM
The Inquisitor players a large hand in what the group decides to make as well, I find.
For example, I am currently using an Amalathian Puritan- so bureaucrat adepts and pious clerics are a must on the team! So much so, I've had three clerics running at the same time, along with an adept [and a "puritan assassin" and scum.] Selling the cleric is very easy if you stress out the zealous nature of the setting and expose them to Cleric NPCs and other such figures- showing them how cool these guys is a great way to convince others to play them
Posted 14 November 2012 - 11:40 AM
Well, in my group clerics have always been a favourited role.
In terms of their attribute, skill and talent advancement they make very solid melee and ranged fighters and are outstanding in social interaction. They might not have the best talents, but for sure they are on of the three jack-of-all-trades classes.
Additional they have the authority of the adeptus ministorum and because every citizen of the imperium has to be a religios man this gives you some power too. And with a higher rank, this gives a shitload of power. There are not much individuals that argue with a Hierophant.
Additional you can take even Fate-Talents and become a beacon of imperial faith. I mean… HELLO!?!?! How awsome is that?
So every campaign that keeps its balance between slaughter and real investigation recieves a great benefit of having a cleric in their ranks. This might be the class with the largest influence in the whole setting.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 12:09 PM
If none of the PC's in your group have been designated as the team medic then you might be able to persuade them to take on the adept role due to the fact that the sister hospitallier from blood of martyrs and the verispex adept from book of judgement are able to take the medicae skill from rank 1 although, in the case of the verispex, you need spend 100 XP to buy the medicae skill as well as buying the medical kit whereas the hospitallier gets that equipment from the very beginning.
The verispex can also get access to various scholastic lores at rank 1 as well though.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 01:09 PM
In my opinion there are no career that is a must have in the group.
Most of the core rules are combat oriented, and it is pretty easy to sit and watch the weapon and armor list and get all excited. New players will need a little guidance to discover the other aspects of the game. The best guidance is probably a gentle easing into non-combat role playing and make it an important part of your campaign - after all this is was sets role playing apart from the table top game.
In my experience players will go for the skills that are useful in your campaign - so make those skills useful. :-)
Posted 14 November 2012 - 03:15 PM
I must admit the only Adept we've seen in our games is the Sister Hospitaler variety. The Cleric on the other hand? Well our Cleric is a nutcase pyromaniac who burns all in the name of the Emperor. We've never had a problem encouraging people to play a Cleric.

Actually playing a cleric now rank 6 almost 7 in the latest campaign of dark heresy Imcan tell you that it is my favorite role so far.
I'm the best melee fighter of the group and the only one using evicerator and heavy flamer depending how the story goes, and I'm the second in wounds points just after the imperial guard.
I'm also the one with the highest fellowship and have more or less all the talent needed to start, stop riot and recruit a little army of fanatics for the game or persuade people to let us do our job without blowing apart our cover as inquisition agent.
By the way I've also take the faith talent quite lately but with 3 powers at my disposal I can sometime get the group out of trouble.
Remember the Emperor protect but there is no shame helping him… to do so and cleric character.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 07:19 PM
Well, speak of the devil. The guy who was going to join thought we were playing Black Crusade and suddenly he said "Oh, dark heresy? I'll play an adept then". I have no idea how, I just went over the classes, I DID try to steer him towards adept when giving him a summary of the classes. Priest is a hard sell though, they don't have a clearly defined role or specialty. And we're norwegian! Religious? Granted, most of us have had to chase away Jehovas witness we're just not that religious, not our parents and especially not us younger people so I think we have a hard time getting into the role of a fire and brimstone preacher in the same way as the other things. But I'll try, whenever someone has an…"accident"
Posted 16 November 2012 - 12:40 AM
I've always thought that the "fire and brimstone" part of the cleric was what appealed to me the most. I haven't been on the player side of the DM screen but I could definitely see myself as a cleric screaming "BLASPHEMER" at people.
Especially when you consider when we played warhammer fantasy rpg I was constantly screaming "BURN THE WITCH". So much in fact that our group wizard was loath to use his magic because he was afraid we'd burn him on the spot.

That's basically the way our Cleric plays. He has two flamers (a regular one and the toxic one) and he actually set fire to an entire settlement once. Granted, it was a den of Genestealer cultists, but yeah, he burnt that place to the ground. It was glorious!

Oh I like the idea as well, but it's a more difficult role to get into because it's just…i can't explain it but it just doesn't click with how we view priests, the few we have. Our priests mostly speak to old people and are quiet nice people, the other kind we haven't had…oh, I don't know. Before my time. Before my grandparents time as well. It's just weird. Everything else we have no relation to, or we play relatively close to experiences or stereotypes.
And the lack of a clear, focused speciality. So I suppose I should try to put the emphasis on…whatever they do well better next time someone is making a character. I'll have to look at their career a bit closer.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:54 AM
I've said it elsewhere before, but I had an absolute blast playing my Noble born Banisher Cleric with a chantry background (almost gave him the pilgrim background to play up the 'poor' aspect even more). But that's the thing: there was some thought put into the character, his background and motivations. He was never a beast in combat, but not the worst. Definitely able to pull more social strings than an Adept, but slightly less knowledgeable.
Of all the classes, I think the Cleric is the most well rounded and at the same time the most fun to RP in this grim/dark universe. So many possibilities, but only if you are willing to put some effort into it.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 07:20 AM
Isn't the easiest way to simple give adepts and priests more oppertunity to shine? If everything is about combat then people will take combat careers, but if other things also show up that gives problem to an unbalanced cell then maybe that could lead to people investing in a career that's actually useful.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 08:53 AM
Oh, I always give every character their time to shine. If we had a cleric he'd have ALOT of extra options if they went to the local chapel. The skills they choose will matter, so will the skills they don't. Obviously not every session but I try to do it. The probem is, career choices limit what they're capable and the limitations a party setup are difficult to fix, witthout someone dying and rolling another class and overly punishing them for it isn't right. The adept however will be given more time in the limelight due to the others having to share combat, hopefully it'll get the psyker to focus on utility as much as combat etc.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 11:57 AM
our group has 2 Clerics - Father Des the Fire and Brimstone preacher, played by a newbie to 40k, and Father Nic, well the more social skilled but sometime more ??? morals played by a old hand to 40k.

Playing an Adept right now in a PBP game. We have the following: Tech-Priest, Arbite, Guardsman, Scum, and a shooty Assassin. Clearly, they were lacking in direction and organization. They needed someone to pull together all the disparate clues and form them all into one fundamentally sound whole. Perhaps the Tech Priest might have been able to cobble together a feeble cogitator of some small merit to collate all the data, but that would take too much time. Better to have a sound mind, grounded in faith and bolstered by Knowledge to put a full picture on the investigation we wish to present to the Inquisitor. (guess who is shooting for Legate Investigator )
Additionally, my Peers in the Administratum would happily assist me in *re-directing* much needed supplies AWAY FROM THE EMPEROR-FORSAKEN ROCK YOU CALL A PLANET if you cross me. It's quite simple really. You cross me, I cross your home off the resupply ledgers. Ponder that and reply back to me tomorrow with your acquiescence to my demands. (Use that as a selling point anytime!)

This is the first, or S-1C-D-1C Dynamic Test Stage, of the Saturn V rocket. This particular stage was not meant to fly and was used strictly for ground tests at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama, during 1966-1968. This stage and version of the Saturn V rocket were extremely important in Apollo program - they proved the validity of the vehicle's structural design. In its flyable form, the 363-foot long, 33-foot diameter Saturn V rocket took a dozen astronauts toward the Moon during 1969-1972 and is considered one of the greatest engineering achievements in history. The first stage shown here is fitted with mockup F-1 engines. The stage was transferred to the Smithsonian by NASA in 1975.

The area's top middle school mathletes faced off in a battle to move on to regional levels at
Ten teams and more than 40 students from Onslow, Carteret and
Teachers and volunteers coach students beginning each fall and continuing throughout the year. Participating schools select four students with up to two alternates to compete as teams and individuals. Winners of the local competitions progress to state contests held in March, and the top four scorers and top coach at the state competition represent their state at national finals.
Director Michelle Halley said that the competition has been a part of the school system's efforts to enhance student academic abilities since the 1980s.
"In Onslow County Schools, we believe in stretching our children to their biggest and fullest potential, and it's a way for them to accelerate," Halley said. "They've got it, but we want to see what they can do with it."
Students participated in the Sprint, Target and Team Rounds. In the Sprint Round, participants are given a set of 30 problems and tests for accuracy, with 40 minutes to complete the problems without calculators. The Target Round consists of eight multi-step problems that engage students in mathematical reasoning and problem-solving processes and the 20 minute Team Round consists of 10 problems, which team members work together to solve. The final ciphering is a fast-paced, oral competition where students compete against each other and the clock to solve problems without use of calculators. The moderator projects a question on the screen, and each designation contestant is given one minute to write an answer in the block indicated and holds up the card for collection by the monitor. Points are awarded according to both the order of finish and correctness of the answer.
Broad Creek Middle Team Captain James Phillips said that 30 minutes of practice each day helped his him to remain focused during the competition.
"You feel your heart racing when you're up during the ciphering round," James said. "It's good to see other schools competing in Math Counts here because we don't see as many in
Following a brief break, Onslow County Schools Superintendent Kathy Spencer and Onslow County Board of Education members offered students words of encouragement before presenting the teams with their awards.
"The most valuable thing you gained from this event is not just your math skills, but how you work with other people," Spencer said to the teams. "That's probably one of the most valuable things you can learn anywhere. I hope you had the opportunity to do that and enjoy each other."
"I was shocked — I thought they were going to do well, but I never expected them to take the top three places," Coach Mike Whitley said. "In my 20 years of doing this, I never seen one school do this."
"It's a really good experience and it will really help us in the future when we go to regionals,"
said Northwoods Park Middle Team Captain Jennifer Hurlbut. "We get a lot more training and the adrenaline rush to be able to complete this in a certain amount of time. The ciphering round is most challenging but we really pulled through this year and it was incredible."
The Regional Math Counts Competition will be held on Feb. 16 at

Donna Carpenter, spokeswoman for CCS, said Boiling Springs Elementary staff are continuing to investigate the matter and are working with the families of the students involved.
"Saying anything more is a violation of the privacy of the students," she said.
It has caused hardship to our family in so many ways. My son told me last night that he feels the only cure for it is going to be to fight because he's to the point that he's done. I have made him an appointment to see a doctor and I hope I can just find someone to help him get a stop done to it because he deals with this on a daily basis.

Bullying isn't taken seriously in certain schools and we all know it starts from home. It will take the proper authority (parents, principals, police) to nip it! My son has high functioning autism and is also a little guy for his age. He has been bullied since kindergarten. Schools have usually worked with us on the situations but it wasn't until he started middle school (Burns Middle), that I had nobody on our side or seeing our view on the bullying. After numerous frustrating trips to the school and my son even being punished after telling the school officer about his bullying situation, I decided to pull him out and put him in Kings Mountain Middle. Now, he and I are both happy and so far, no bullying! It's nice to have teachers watch him and keep on eye on him instead of overlooking him.
Brandy Wine Bullman
My 7-year-old little girl was picked on today because her teacher painted whiskers on her face for Dr. Suess Day. It was so adorable, so it's really sad that older boys were calling her ugly names and she couldn't just enjoy being cute. As a parent it is so hard when your child comes home sad or crying because they have been picked on. Unfortantly I do not think there is much that can be done to stop bullying. It has always been and probably always will be a part of life and with social media, it makes it alot easier.
Mandy Williamson Greer
It's very sad that it happens every day. My daughter is in the 2nd grade and it happens. It starts now at a much younger age then when I was in school. Parents should be more involved and the school. This is a serious subject and it should be taken serious. Its very sad that kids feel like they should hurt others and make fun of them for no reason at all. They need to be more strict about it as well. It breaks my heart when my daughter tells me the things that has been said to her and to others.
Millie Tallent
My 9-year-old niece is in a bullying situation right now. The school has been contacted and it has been a back and forth battle trying to get something done. She comes home crying any time she has to ride the bus because the boys tell her that she is ugly and stupid. A 9-year-old!
Ashley Carver
I also have had my daughter tell me that there were kids that bullied her and I told her to tell her teacher. The teacher kept telling her to stop tatteling. I myself worked with children for 10 years and I know its hard work, but I think a lot of this is being overlooked by teachers. I moved and she changed to a small school here and is much happier.
Lynn Burns
National statistics on bullying
-Six out of 10 American teenagers witness bullying in school once a day.
-Bullying affects nearly one in three American schoolchildren in grades six through 10.
-Eighty-three percent of girls and 79 percent of boys report experiencing harassment.
-Students who are targets of repeated bullying behavior experience extreme fear and stress:
* Fear of going to school.
* Fear of using the bathroom.
* Fear of the bus ride to and from school
* Physical symptoms of illness
* Diminished ability to learn
-Bullying can escalate into more serious behavior. Boys identified as bullies in grades six through nine had one criminal conviction by age 24.
-Forty percent of those identified had three or more arrests by age 30.
-Bullies are at even greater risk of suicide than their targets. Bullies often grow up to perpetuate family violence.

Simply put, it's a super busy time for JEFF the Brotherhood. Back on July 29th they announced they would release a brand-new, self-produced EP of covers, entitled "Dig the Classics."
The album bowed on September 30 via Warner Brothers Records. Brothers Jake (guitar, vocals) and Jamin Orrall (drums) selected six of their favorite songs for the project, including Pixies' "Gouge Away," My Bloody Valentine's "Come In Alone," Teenage Fanclub's "Mad Dog 20/20," and Beck's "Totally Confused." The album was made available both digitally and in the 12" format pressed on purple vinyl.
"Dig the Classics" was released right before JEFF The Brotherhood launched a full-scale fall tour. Supporting on the trek were Music Band for the September dates and Diarrhea Planet on the October dates. Fans scoops up the JEFF The Brotherhood tickets as soon as they went on sale, and the tour kicked off August 8 in Charlottesville, Virginia at The Southern. It wrapped October 24- 26th after three consecutive shows at The End in Nashville, Tennessee.
JEFF The Brotherhood has also been putting the finishing touches on their next studio album, the follow to the critically acclaimed "Hypnotic Nights." It's expected to be released in early 2015.
Work ethic powers Jeff the Brotherhood (Created June 5, 2013)
Meet brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall (aka Jeff the Brotherhood) who have been making noise of all kinds since they were pretty young kids.
Of course they grew up together, but Jake and Jamin were also raised with an insatiable appetite for music. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, they formed a band while still in high school and used funds from pre-orders for their first album "I Like You," to also work on side projects that went on to receive critical acclaim.
Perhaps no one has worked harder than these two brothers over the last 10 years. They've been up and down the road, in big cities and small towns, and everywhere in between. Known for cacophonous live shows, they've played everywhere from privately-owned basements to large festivals like Bonnaroo. In fact, they've racked up more than 400 shows in the last two years, playing with the likes of Best Coast, The Kills, The Greenhornes and more.
Jeff the Brotherhood's sound blends elements of indie, punk, garage, and psychedelic rock. That combination, plus a relentless work ethic, set the stage for their 2012 Warner Brothers debut album "Hypnotic Nights." It was completed in just seven days, with the first single, "Sixpack," propelled by reverb-heavy guitar riffs and dynamic drumbeats. Other standouts include "Leave Me Out" and "Dark Energy," and showcase why Jeff the Brotherhood could be the next mega-stars in the music industry.

Parfumerie Generale IMO

For me the easy answer is Annick Goutal. This is a very high quality niche house that uses excellent natural ingredients, but I can easily get any of their 100ml bottles for $60.

"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
It was a calculated risk. Unfortunately, I'm bad at math.
Divine, one of my fav houses at the moment
Current top 10 in no particular order : Malle - Carnal Flower (pre 2008) ; Montale - Black Aoud ; Bond #9 - Silver Factory ; Tauer - L'air du désert marocain ; C&Z - No 88 ; Francis K. - APOM ; Creed - Aventus ; Amouage - Epic ; Profumum - Dulcis In Fundo ; Amouage - Opus V
I'll put in a vote for Divine. Their feminines are extraordinarily good, especially L'Ame Soeur, L'Inspiratrice, and Divine. And on the masculine side, L'Homme Sage and L'Homme de Coeur are wonderful.

I still think Micallef is the most underrated, but Humiecki & Graef surely does not get nearly as much exposure here (or love!) as they should, imo.

Has Sam Harris ever commented on individualist challenges to collectivism? If so, could you link me? In "Science Can Answer Moral Questions" he used the phrase "as a society." The "for the greater good of society" view is one of the most popularly challenged positions in all of political philosophy.
Also, I'm interested in whether he has ever really gotten into the details of socialism and its morality. I realize his thing is primarily religion but he does have a degree in philosophy, so could see it going either way.
Has Sam Harris ever explicitly mentioned Ron Paul, Richard Epstein, Robert Nozick, or Milton Freedman? I know he has referenced Obama, McCain, and Palin.

Raising Healthy Kids
Raising Healthy Kids
By raising children to be healthy, a parent sets a precedent for maintaining a healthy lifestyle that can last the rest of their child's life. Keeping healthy foods in your household and turning those foods into snacks are great ways to instill nutrition as a regular part of a child's life. Giving kids an active role in food preparation — such as tending a garden and cooking meals — will make them want to eat their healthy food.
Exercise is also very important to both children's health (not to mention adult health as well). Setting a limit on TV and computer time and encouraging children to play outside is a good way to get them less lethargic and more mobile. Enrolling your child in sports is a great choice of activity as well, but be sure to take them to games and cheer for them there. Family outings can help the family bond while keeping everyone active.
Maintaining the right balance between discipline and nurturing is an essential part of rearing healthy children. If they eat unhealthy, don't scold them each time; instead try redirecting them to healthier foods that are sweet or salty. When they eat healthy, praise their good choices. (Photo: Shutterstock)

Andries Strauss believes the Southern Kings can make an immediate impact in Super Rugby next season.
Last week, it was confirmed that Cheetahs centre Strauss and Sharks lock Steven Sykes signed new deals with the Kings for 2013. They were the first recruitments to join the Eastern Cape franchise since its Super Rugby status was confirmed in August.
However, with the Kings only given a one-year guarantee in the competition, it's believed that they will struggle to build a competitive squad as players would be hesitant to commit to a team that is likely to face relegation (the last-placed South African franchise will face the Lions in two rounds of promotion-relegation play-offs).
But Strauss reckons this belief could change.
'Seeing a guy like Steven Sykes signing for the Kings motivated me to join them,' Strauss told keo.co.za. 'His addition proved that the Kings will be able to sign the players needed to do well next season. Hopefully more players will start making the same move too.
'I also see it as a good career move for me,' he continued. 'I've struggled with form during my time with the Cheetahs. I think I can play better rugby. A different scenery at the Kings could be the change I need to improve.'
It will be a tough challenge for the Kings next year.
Super Rugby trends have proven that franchises struggle in their debut campaigns. The Western Force and Melbourne Rebels were the wooden spoonists after their first runs in 2006 and 2011 respectively, and continue to finish in the bottom-half of the table. The Cheetahs and Lions have also disappointed since their split from the Cats initiative six years ago.
The Kings will also have to deal with Saru's expectation of notable transformation in team selections. Out of the 51 players the EP Kings have fielded in the Currie Cup First Division so far, 15 have been players of colour.
However, Strauss believes the Kings will manage if they recruit smartly.
'The rumours that the Kings might sign a few Argentine players is promising,' said Strauss. 'Experience, especially international experience, is vital for any team.
'There are only so many Springboks, and most of them are signed to the bigger franchises. So getting in some players, who boast international experience, will help the team do well, and they'll be able to pass on their knowledge to the younger guys.
'I know the Force and Rebels didn't do well in their first couple of seasons, but the Kings have a better platform to work from. They're not working from scratch. A guy like [Kings director of rugby] Alan Solomons has been with the team for a while now.
'So the Kings can do well. I think it's possible to avoid last place in the South African conference if the correct steps are taken.'

Where Memories Lie
Where Memories Lie (Hardcover)
Erika Rosenthal has always been secretive with her friend and neighbor, Detective Inspector Gemma James, about her past, except for one telling detail: She and her long-dead husband, David, came to London as refugees from Nazi Germany. But now the elderly woman needs Gemma's help. A unique piece of jewelry stolen from her years ago has mysteriously turned up at a prestigious London auction house. Erika believes the theft may be tied to her husband's death, which had always been assumed a suicide.
Gemma has a tough challenge. She must navigate the shadowy and secretive world of London's monied society to discover the jewelry's connection to David's murderer. However, the cold case needs to be put back on the books and possibly into the hands of her partner, Duncan Kincaid. When a second, present-day murder kicks the investigation into high gear, Gemma becomes more determined to exact justice for Erika—in a case that will have lasting repercussions.

I have been looking for Ho Hang for over 20 years; my husband swears by it; he wore it in college over 20 years ago and have nothing but gerat things to say about it; I would love to get him some for Father's Day 2013; hope you get some before then; love your company.

Although it is difficult to find and has a lot of competition, Ho Hang is still the best men's fragrance out there!
Written by Paul on March 11, 2013Read Review details ►
I have used numerous fragrances over the years, including Drakkar Noir, and most designer fragrances "for men." None have equaled Ho Hang Club, and the Club is far better than the "Ho Hang" by the same designer. This fragrance is now dificult to obtain, but it is classic and still the best.
