UT football: Longhorns to 'cut it loose?'
AUSTIN — Admitting he's frustrated by a series of slow starts, Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis said Monday there might be something to the criticism of his first-half play-calling as overly conservative. "Maybe we haven't cut it loose like we should have," Davis said. Relying on primarily runs between the tackles, bubble screens and short […] [Read More]
UT football: Longhorns' Top 25 streak ends
AUSTIN — For the first time in almost a decade, the Texas Longhorns are unranked. UT's nation-leading streak of 162 consecutive weeks in the Associated Press Top 25 came to its expected end on Sunday, when the Longhorns officially fell out of the rankings.

AUSTIN — Mike Davis, the freshman wide receiver named by Texas coaches as one of the three leading playmakers on the Longhorns offense, remains questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma with a knee injury.

AUSTIN — After suffering their worst home loss in 13 seasons, the Texas Longhorns wasted little time in making personnel changes.

UT football: Longhorns plummet in polls
AUSTIN — On the morning after Texas' worst home loss in 13 years, the Longhorns paid the expected price.

UT football: Mack on yelling rumors and future schedules
AUSTIN — If any one facet of the Texas football team has been the subject of the most second-guessing and contentious fan debate over the past few years, it's been the offensive line.

UT football: Ground game still a work in progress
AUSTIN — Apparently, the era of anti-incumbent rage is over — in the Texas backfield, anyway. For the first time this season, the Longhorns are not installing a new starting tailback this week.

UT football: Longhorns slip again in AP poll
LUBBOCK — Not even a victory in their first road test of the season was enough to keep the Texas Longhorns from dropping another spot in one of two major national polls.

Will NYC 'Housewives' Be as Good Without Bethenny?
As the cast of the 'Real Housewives of New York City' busies themselves with shooting the next season of the reality hit, Bravo insiders wonder if the show will still be ratings gold without its breakout star, Bethenny Frankel.
"Bethenny is the biggest star the franchise has ever produced," a Bravo insider tells me. "She not only connected with the most fans, but she also allowed the audience to laugh at how ridiculous the other ladies are. Without Bethenny making fun of the cast, the show just won't be as much fun."
For Bravo, a main concern is who will play foil to rival Kelly Bensimon and her oft-erratic (but always entertaining) behavior on a Bethenny-less 'Housewives.'
"Without Bethenny on the show, Kelly's strange behavior is no longer funny, it's just annoying," my source concedes.
Insiders tell me that after Bravo caught a glimpse of how the new season is going, they have asked Bethenny to return for more than the six appearances she is contractually obligated to make. But she wants to phase that part of her life out.
"Bethenny is done with that show," a friend of the new mom and wife (to Jason Hoppy) tells me. "She is focused on her own show, writing her books and being the best mom and wife she can be. Every time she thinks about going back into that toxic environment it makes her feel physically sick."
I'm told Bethenny loves Bravo and is very appreciative at how the network changed her life (and made her rich), and that she will probably agree to make more guest appearances on 'Housewives.'
"But in her heart she wishes she could just move on," a friend tells me. "To tell the truth, she doesn't even want to watch the new season let alone be forced to be part of it."

Bethenny has her own show so why would she be on this one too. Anyway I won't miss her.

I say get ridf Kelly too - the woman is a real wacko!

Frankly who cares??? There are to many "housewives" shows on anyway. That could be one down and the rest to follow.
Then we can get rid of Jersey Shore, Jerseylious, any other Jersey shows, Kate plus 8 or whatever they are calling it now, and the rest of these no talent (15 minutes of fame idiots)shows. The list goes on forever.
Dead air would be better than all of these reality shows

Seriously??? I had stopped watching because of Bethenny. She's on Skating with the Stars and she is the biggest star the franchise has produced, really?? Please define what star means in 2010? No its not Jill and I don't live in NY but please just let Bethenny go away quickly and quietly and maybe she can take Danielle with her...
- Sunday 19 DecemberBy BeachBumBob
This was a crappy show when she was on it and it will be a crappy show when she is gone. All I know is, she better save up all those pay checks she getting, cause she is used up by Hollywood or her when start looking "Long in the Tooth", she's a goner!
- Sunday 19 DecemberBy ro
who going to fight with who. Its the same for Jersey Housewives now that Danielle is gone. Both series are going to be BORING. Why dob't they just cancel them

Love Bethenny! Still will watch RHONY because they are train wrecks and I find it mindlessly amusing. Looking forward to Bethenny's show returning.

I love Bethenny and Jason. They are wonderful together and you can see her feistiness; which does not take away from her true love for her husband, baby and in-laws. She doesn't belong with the NY housewives who are superficial and boring.

Fugly...funny word, describes her to a tee...what is up with the above picture? Does she have 2 marbles in her cheeks? This is one fugly JAP!! That's what this ungrateful rag is!! Never watched the HW BS..but started to watch the skating show, till I noticed this JAP was on, thinking she should and would win....Please, get this crap off the TV Bravo....then I'll say BRAVO!!

Bethany is my favorite. She is the prettiest, and the most sensible. The show won't interest me anymore with her missing.

Bethany was always my favorite- I will miss her on the new series. Love all the "Housewives" shows except New Jersey's- they need to get some good looking people on there-not losers.

Bethanny was a show-stealer. She took away from the others, thinking that she was top dog. I'll enjoy the show more without her.......big time!

I mean, she hideous.
- Sunday 19 DecemberBy AJ
The only reason I watch the show is because of Bethany. The other women just like to try and out do each other and back stab each other. Bethany is down to earth, says it the way it is and is really funny. I watch her show and never miss it. She now has a loving, beautiful family. Why would she want to be part of the other show. But, if she does return for some of the shows I will watch. If not, no way!
- Sunday 19 DecemberBy Lynnor Daman
What is that saying - "A legend in her own mind". That's Bethenny. And now she gets to use her husband and baby, too. Oh well, she's parlayed her using others into making very good money. Perhaps the people she's using won't end up resenting her.
- Sunday 19 December
Not interested in Betheny (permanent mumps, chipmunk cheeks)Frankel, nor Ramona (bug-eyed freakazoid), Louanne (the uncountess of Nothingham), Jill (the queen of whine and her husband who mentally undresses nutcase Kelly every chance he gets), and the other couple (whose name I can't for the life of me remember because they are just so damned unimportant to me...You know, the wannabe social climbers who fail so miserably)...not going to watch any of this crap anymore because it is just so irritating!
- Sunday 19 DecemberBy Frances
I don't think Bethenny added a thing to NY housewives. She was horrible in the skating thing and her own show was not good.
Ramona is crazy and needs to be replaced.
- Sunday 19 DecemberBy klion538
Let's get serious...Bethenny and Jill WERE the best part of the series! I hope Jill and Bethenny have mended a great friendship; regardless of R.H. That show will NEVER be as good. I watched "B. Getting Married?" and hope IT RETURNS! It is so funny,real,and entertaining.

I like to play a lot of different MMOs.
I love Mortal Online. Not perfect, but love the type of gameplay it offers.
Really like TSW as well.
Also enjoy STO, CO, EvE, LOTRO, and a bunch of others.
As far as upcoming games are concerned, Neverwinter, Age of Wushu, Defiance, and Elder Scrolls Online all look promising as well.

Nothing recent with the exception of P101 which I can play very casually. I am not sure if mmo's got worse or if my tastes changed, but there are very few recent mmo's that have held my attention for more than a couple of weeks.

Then I went through to golden age of arcades from about 1974 to 1984. I have loved games and owned almost every home system. However, it was 1996 when I tried a little know game at the time Meridian 59 and that is when I caught the mmo bug and I have played most of them since.

in recent years games that held me longest were Rift and GW2.. Rift for 9 months and GW2 from 1st BWE and still currently playing.. looking forward to several upcoming games in 2013 including FFXIV RR, Blade & Soul, The repopulation, star citizen, wildstar, Neverwinter Online, ESO... i pretty much play them all but only a select few keep me playing for long though:P

As far as mmo's there's a number of them I may dabble with here and there throughout the year.Game's like EQ2,Rift,AC2 (since it reopened) and TSW.The game's I tend to spend more time in are Swtor,Lotro and UO.
I'm also giving POE a try,it look's great and I like the skill tree.Probably dabble with Tera also next month.
As you can see I like to play a multiple of mmo's (ftp/btp really allow's for this) but the main one's are Swtor,Lotro and UO.
Edit to add that I also played WOW alot and played GW2.At this point I think I'm done with WOW for good and I'll play GW2 some more later in the year.
Some day I'm going to put a sword through your eye and out the back of your skull!

I'm a player of the much maligned F2P games and the only game worth playing right now among those titels is the yet NA unreleased version of Lime Odyessy. I was one of the (very) lucky few who got to participate in both Alpha Tests and I thought it was a very fun game. Nothing else out there has held my interest fo more than a week or two at most.
Why only F2P? Because I simply do not make enough money to be able to afford paying out more money every month. I can afford to buy a game card every 2-3 months so that's what I do.

Do not fear the unknown, for it does not fear you.
I like shin megami tensei online aka megaten, but I don't play it. It has nice features and I like the feel but like everything it lacks in so many other ways. So while I do "like" a couple games, I don't play them anymore. I have tried every mmo and continue to try them as they come out. However none have managed to correct the simple universal problems I've come to expect. Personal optimism about upcoming games aside, I can't say I would endorse anything as good or worth playing for entertainment. All games except maybe some single player fps games are dreadfully dull to me ATM. I miss the days before I knew how limited the market was, back when I thought wow so awesome lol.
If a butterfly learnt to speak, to live in human society, paid its bills, had a job, lived in a fancy house and married a human, is it human?
Now what if that same butterfly knew how to write code better than any human and had years of experience in the game industry, would that make it a game designer?

I liked precu SWG.

I liked LOTRO.
I liked APB, the original version.
I liked AOC.
I like GW2.
I like Tera.
I like Rift.
There's a lot of games I like. I make criticisms or wish lists...I wish this game had this, I wish it had tthat. Just because I'm critical of something doesn't mean I don't like it.

I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.
I've enjoyed WoW way back in the day but it's long grown stale for me.
I got a good half a year out of EvE . I thought it was pretty entertaining until I grew a little bored.
I think the two mmorpgs I've enjoyed the most were Pirates of the Burning Sea and the recent Guild Wars 2.
Even though its very sub par for an mmorpg, I'm some what getting the itch to go back and play Star Trek Online as well.

I have played games since 1985 when i got my first computer C 64.
Later it has been harder to find a game that can get me hooked. Played Lotro for a few years and i have tried AOC, TSW and many others like that. Nothing really got me.... So i tried wurm online again. Tried it a few years ago and i realy liked the sandbox game but the grafic sucked to much so i had to leave it. Since they released 1.0 version the grafic made it playable. I have very good hopes for this game. One of the mayor problem as i see it is the ingame economi that dosent work at all. Very hard to make any cash at all. Because after a few month you can make most stuff on your own. So the only thing to sell ingame is the resources and some easy building items that you can grind for weeks without having enough.
Otherwise its cool. You have NPC monsters and pvp and raiding ofcourse.
Mostly a game for those who played papper and pen games when they was kid. The game aint shallowed and everything has a cause. Like storing food in a barrel and put water into it. The food wont turn bad so fast. Add salt to it and you can eat it next month ;) Even hardcore gamers learn something new every now and then and the updates comes quicker now.
If this game cant hold me for a few month or even years i dont know what else i would play.
Maybe i try Darkfall the second failure. I tried the first version and liked it some but apperantly not enough.

I am a bit like that too. I rarely complain about an mmo and like most that I try. I might not devote a lot of time to them all but I have to try most of them. Mmos have changed a lot and the choices are bigger then ever. However I really miss the sandox play of SWG pre-nge the most. I have high hope for Origins of Malu. I still feel EQ2 as a corss between sandbox and theme part is the best show in town. I love collecting stuff and Rift has added a bit of that but EQ2 has so much to offer. I miss the ability to effect the game world and own a little piece of it like SWG offered so I settle for what EQ2 allows.

LOL. I was born in 1972, but did remember the Magnavox Odyssey. Did that game have a plastic six shooter gun? Where you shot square dots that flashed across the screen? That was the one I had. Huge arcade fan as I played in the murky bowling alleys my dad took me to in order to meet his drinking buddies. Yeah I guess drunk bowling was a thing in the 70s/80s ;D
I worked backwards. I followed the console path from NES to present and got bored with how casual console games had become (could be due to my experience or age). Meaning games like COD BO didnt do it for me. I liked the slower, longer, RPG franchises like Dragon Quest (Heavenly Bride being my all time Favorite) and Final Fantasy (stopped when it went all CGI on playstation).
My first MMO which was also my introduction to PC gaming was SWTOR. Star Wars. Asset Management. Online with other people. What was there to no like? Got bored in 30 days as I missed exploring and looking around corners and such. Found this site and downloaded nearly every MMO since :D EQ, EQ2, DCUO, Vanguard, Forsaken World, Eden Eternal, Guild Wars, Rift and finally WoW (as of MoP expansion).
Playing through all of those titles constantly I started to develop my own taste in what I like in my mmo. Of all that I played its actually EQ style and presentation I really liked (has the best world for exploring hands down - wish it got a graphical and mechanics update). I love the idea of playing a game for years and slowly growing that character with a TON of things to do. I have also heard SWG has a similiar (if not better) design to this which I believe I would have loved, but unfortunately never got to see.
Dont see today's MMOs comparing to the ones I played from the past. Seem to cater to quick console-like action vinettes with light RPG tropes of stat progression. I DO like themepark like elements, but want that compensated with other systems to flesh out the full experience. I want to quest, but I also want to fish. I want to make a boat. I want to figure out how to get treasure from under water. I want to be an adventurer. Braving this virtual world and dealing with whatever I come across.
Doubt developers wil go back to that style due to how popular the former is today.

At the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center in Madison, New Jersey, we work to treat fearful, undersocialized dogs who need our support before they're ready for adoption. We're thrilled to announce that three former victims of animal hoarding—Waffle, Juniper and Hillary—have completed our rehabilitation program and are looking for loving homes!
These adorable pups have come a long way on their road to recovery:
Waffle: Waffle, one of 100 dogs living in a studio apartment in New York, was rescued in April 2012. She spent time with multiple rescue groups and in a foster home, but she remained extremely fearful—especially around men. She was transferred to Second Chance Pet Adoption League, which brought her to us for rehabilitation. Waffle has come a long way, and will be graduating from the ASPCA Rehabilitation Center in a few short weeks!
Juniper: Juniper was rescued from a hoarding situation in Connecticut in May 2013 and taken in by Second Chance. She was extremely shy—she bolted away from people and was very fearful of handling and leashing. Second Chance brought her to the ASPCA Rehabilitation Center, where she recovered. Juniper is thriving in a foster home, and she can't wait to join a loving family.
Hillary: Known as a "Most Improved Pup," Hillary was rescued from a hoarding situation in New York and taken in by Second Chance. She was the shyest and most traumatized dog of the group of 19 dogs in her former home. In a foster home, Hillary remained extremely fearful of all people and wouldn't allow anyone to handle her. She was transferred to the ASPCA Rehabilitation Center in July 2013, and after extensive care and treatment, she graduated in January 2014!
Waffle, Juniper and Hillary are back with Second Chance waiting to find loving homes. All three dogs would do best with adult adopters who already have people-friendly, dog-friendly dogs. If you're interested in meeting one of these new graduates, contact Second Chance by email: [email protected] or by phone: 973.208.1054.
Note: You must be in the New Jersey area to adopt. Thanks for helping us find homes for these adorable dogs!
In January, the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team assisted with the removal of more than 40 dogs from Dream Catcher Kennels in Kentucky, a substandard breeding facility—frequently referred to as a puppy mill. These dogs had lived in deplorable conditions, and while many of them were soon ready for adoption, six of the dogs needed more time and assistance to recover from the inhumane conditions they had endured at the puppy mill.
Tuesday night, those six dogs made an exciting step forward—they were transported to the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center in Madison, New Jersey, where the ASPCA Anti-Cruelty Behavior Team will work to rehabilitate them and prepare them for bright futures in loving homes. The group was also joined by a seventh fearful, undersocialized dog in need of rehabilitation from the Kentucky Humane Society.
Kristen Collins, ASPCA Director of Anti-Cruelty Behavior Rehabilitation, reports that although several dogs tentatively wagged their tails and cautiously explored their new kennels at the Rehabilitation Center, all are fearful and need intensive help before they'll be ready for placement.
"They're adorable and they definitely have lots of potential," Collins says. "We're looking forward to helping them learn how to enjoy petting, leash walks and all of the other things they'll experience when they are adopted at last."
Stay tuned for updates and photos to come as these dogs progress on their journeys to becoming beloved pets. We can't wait to watch their recovery!
Our work here is far from done. Please help us continue our fight against puppy mills by taking our pledge not to buy anything in pet stores that sell puppies at www.NoPetStorePuppies.com.

Expecting the unexpected is par for the course when rescuing animals from cases of cruelty. But little did we know that two turtles would become part of the story of thousands of birds rescued from a cockfighting bust earlier this month.
Outside the raid site in Queens, Julia Blue, an ASPCA responder, discovered an abandoned red-eared slider. Julia took the turtle, whom she named Spalding, to her home, where her bunny, a hare named Jack, was not thrilled with his new slow-and-steady companion.
Meanwhile, a New York Times reporter, who was covering the raid, also found a turtle, encrusted in snow and ice, at the scene. She contacted the New York Turtle and Tortoise Society (NYTTS), and the organization agreed to find placement for the lucky reptile, who was named Ice-T by Times readers.
Julia contacted the NYTTS, too, and eventually the two turtles were reunited. Both turtles were placed with an urban wildlife education program, where according to NYTTS, their back story will help bring attention to the larger issues facing abandoned pets.
Read more about the two turtles' fairy tale ending in the New York Times blog, New York Today.

In late January, the ASPCA FIR team rescued 40 dogs from Dream Catcher Kennels, a large-scale, inhumane commercial breeding facility (also known as a puppy mill) in Nancy, Kentucky. Now, nearly three weeks later, the majority of these dogs are ready to put the horrors of breeding behind them and find their true forever homes.
After their rescue on January 21, the dogs were housed in a temporary shelter where they received medical attention, behavioral enrichment and socialization to reduce stress and improve mental health. They are now being transferred to Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) and Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) in Columbus, Ohio, to be made available for adoption.
"Today is a turning point for these dogs as they move toward life in a home with owners who treat them with respect," says Jessica Rushin, Partnerships Manager for ASPCA Field Investigations and Response.
Of the 40+ rescues, only six of the dogs are not yet ready for adoption. They are en route to the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center in Madison, NJ, where they will receive further treatment for under-socialization and extreme fear—remnants of the trauma caused by living in a puppy mill for years. We are optimistic about their success and expect them to be suitable for adoption in the coming weeks.
As for the kennel owner, Dennis Bradley, the future is less bright. He has pled guilty to animal cruelty in the second degree and received six months in jail probated for a term of 24 months. He will not be allowed to operate a kennel or breeding operation for the duration of his probation.
While we are pleased with the progress of this particular case, our work is far from done. If you would like to help, please consider making a donation to the ASPCA. In addition, help us continue our fight against puppy mills by taking our pledge not to buy anything in pet stores that sell puppies at www.NoPetStorePuppies.com.
In April 2013, the ASPCA Field Investigation Response (FIR) team responded to a call in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. Not knowing what to expect, they arrived at the scene to find an aggressive rodeo bull, a determined police chief, and an extreme challenge. After years of living in substandard conditions, the bull had developed behavioral issues, and Police Chief David Smetana concluded that the animal should be shot.
After a heated discussion with Smetana, FIR Director Kyle Held was granted access to the bull. Under surveillance of several armed police officers, Kyle evaluated the animal and concluded that he should be placed in a new home—not killed. "We arrived at the scene at 8am," says Kyle. "At 11am, we were given three hours to find the bull a new home."
With the clock ticking, Kyle pulled out all the stops. "I called everyone and their brother on this one," he says. "At 1:45, we finally found a couple of farmers that run a cattle breeding operation and were not at all scared to take the bull for temporary placement."
With the location secured, the team now had to tranquilize the bull for transportation. Kyle called on two local veterinarians, both of whom had initially supported the Police Chief's plan to kill the bull, for help. He says, "We not only convinced them to change their opinions, but to assist in our rescue." It took the two vets three tranquilizer darts to get the bull calm enough for handling.
Next, under more armed police protection, the FIR team transported the bull to a waiting trailer using equipment supplied by the local highway department. Once in the trailer, the bull was medically evaluated and it was discovered that a botched castration had left him with one testicle. "That's how we came to call him Uno the bull," Kyle remembers. Uno was then monitored until he was awake enough to stand. The 3 hour trip to the placement farm went off without a hitch.
Uno stayed at the temporary property in Wisconsin for a few weeks until the FIR team could make arrangements for a permanent residence. He was eventually transferred to the Black Beauty Ranch in Texas, where he received a proper home—and a proper castration. Uno is now stress-free and loving life.

The Marketer's Go-To Guide for Creating Data-Based Content
We inbound marketers are a unique bunch. One day we love to dream up lovable campaigns to delight our audience, and the next we want nothing more than to dive into some data. As more and more companies begin to turn on their inbound marketing machine and start creating content, let's remember that our inherent data chops as marketers can help us create content that's high-quality, shareable, and insightful.
Luckily, we're also living in the age of social media, big data, and … well, the internet … where myriad tools and technologies help us harness the data that's at our fingertips and use it to improve our content strategies. Together, we'll look at how you can use that data to help shape the content you produce, and how to build data-based content to help make your content stand out from the crowd.
Some Tips and Tools to Help You Collect and Harness Data
The growth of social media has led to an explosion in how much personal data there is about people on the web. When Austrian student Max Schrems requested the data Facebook collected on him, it amounted to 1,222 pages. Now, consider that there are more than a billion monthly active users on Facebook. That's a whole lot of data existing on just one social network.
Seems like with all that data, marketers could harness it to somehow inform their content strategy, right? Why yes, they can. The following tools can help you use social data to help make decisions about what content you should be producing for your audience.
1) SocialCrawlytics
SocialCrawlytics is a great tool to help figure out what content produced by your competitors is resonating with their audience — who you just may want to reach, too. It crawls a site and shows how many social shares each URL has gotten.
There is also an API for SocialCrawlytics so you can start creating dashboards for your competitors' most shared content and easily spot what topics are performing best.
2) Bottlenose
Bottlenose is a great tool for real-time marketing. It allows you to spot real-time trends in your market so you can start producing content and engaging with influencers around those trends. For an example of this in practice, check out the following case study from Razorfish on slide 42 of this presentation.
3) SocialMention
SocialMention looks for mentions of a topic across a huge selection of social properties. It can show some interesting data, like the sentiment of a topic, top users for that topic (which is good for finding influencers), top hashtags associated with that topic, and the top sources for that topic (good for knowing where you should be sharing your content on that topic). It doesn't have an API, but does allow you to export to CSV, so you can manipulate the data with some

Associate Salaries, Biglaw, Cheapness, Money, Outsourcing
We've written extensively about the offices of Orrick in Wheeling, West Virginia. It's the place where non-partner track associates go to perform the kind of quasi-paralegal tasks that you really shouldn't have to pay somebody $160,000 a year to get done.
Here's the thing about these "onshore," "insourcing" operations: they are successful. Ridiculously successful. In an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Orrick chairman Ralph Baxter called the decision to open the Wheeling center "one of the smartest decisions we've ever made for the firm and our clients." And that's coming from a man who made the smart decision not to merge with Dewey Ballantine.
That's why every Biglaw managing partner, and every law student thinking of taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to law school, should pay attention to what's going on in Wheeling…
The article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette focuses on the positive experience Orrick and Reed Smith have had in West Virginia. Most of it is happy-clappy tales of how wonderful the town is and how difficult it is to tell the difference between a man's wife and his sister.
But the brass tacks of the piece is the money Orrick has been saving:
Orrick estimates the Wheeling facility generates cost savings of $10 million to $15 million annually, primarily as a result of lower salaries and real estate expenses than it would pay in San Francisco or other major metropolitan cities.
Reed Smith is also saving a bunch of money. Check out this money quote from a giddy Reed Smith partner, COO Gary Sokulski:
Reed Smith's customer center now employs 300 including its e-discovery group and 75 staff attorneys, who, like Orrick's career associates, are not on the partner track but perform document reviews, e-discovery and other tasks for the firm's associates and partners.
"Instead of hiring a $130,000-a-year new lawyer, we get these people for less than half that number," Mr. Sokulski said.
Now, somebody please tell me why all the law firms aren't getting their next crop of document monkeys at half price?
I don't want to hear about how clients need or expect the best lawyers in all the land to perform menial tasks related to massive discovery production. They don't; for most part, we're talking about work a reasonably diligent high school student could perform.
And while you might not get the very best students, there are a lot of decent law schools that are producing thousands of unemployed graduates every year. Biglaw firms can still get their fill of Harvard or Berkeley or top 5% lawyers to fill their traditional associate ranks. But when it comes to the jobs that just require man hours, there are more than enough law graduates clamoring for jobs that pay a middle-class salary and benefits. You never see one of these firms complaining that they can't fill their West Virginia seats.
The only reason every Biglaw firm doesn't already have an office in Wheeling or some other bombed-out crater of a former industrial town is that Biglaw firms are slow to change. They know how to hire people, they know how to fire people, but if these guys were natural businessmen…. well, they probably would have gone to business school instead of law school.
Unfortunately, you know who is even slower to change than law firms? Law schools. As we've said before, the problem is not the availability of these jobs, the problem is with the people who spent over $100,000 to go to law school who graduate and can get only these jobs (if they are lucky). The problem is with a law school model, dictated by the ABA, that forces every lawyer to be educated in a fairly similar way, regardless of the type of lawyer they're going to end up being. Law firms might be able to recognize that not every associate is going to become a Biglaw partner, but the ABA can't seem to understand that not every law student is going to become a judge or an academic.
What we need is the Wheeling version of law school: some glorified, year-long bar prep course that teaches you some basic, practical skills, allows you to sit for the bar, and then sends you on your way for less than half of what some law schools charge for a full year.
We need the Wheeling of law schools, because the Wheeling of Biglaw isn't going anywhere. In fact, it's getting stronger.
Future generations will look back at our time as the point when the term "associate" irrevocably split into different kinds of careers. And some associates are going to be more equal than others.

Vance County Relay for Life wraps up
Jun. 15, 2013 @ 08:22 PM
Photo feature:
Miles from Friday night and Saturday morning, not to mention a zumba exercise class, left Robin Williams of the CenturyLink team needing a well-deserved break at Vance County Relay for Life.
Williams was adding more laps later during the noon hour.
As the event ended its 24-hour run about 3 p.m., the money raised to fight cancer was at more than $138,000.


text: I want to thank Andy Shively for taking this photo on Bootlegger. We have received snow for 5 days in a row now with a grand total of 14 inches. We have also had some great snowmaking temperatures this week and our snowmakers have really been taking advantage of it. This week we opened the Mogul Mouse Magical Lift to the summit and opened the Meadowlark trail. We plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains this weekend. The forecast calls for a snow storm to start late Saturday and continue into Sunday with totals near a foot of accumulation.

United Hospices Augusta and Aiken locations are now PruittHealth Hospice. After 45 successful years in the health care industry, UHS-Pruitt Corporation has changed its name to PruittHealth, as well as the names of its family of providers, and modified company branding to achieve a more unified image for its vast array of health care services. While the name may have changed, the quality of care and services has not. The community can expect the same quality services and commitment to caring that United Hospice has always provided, now with a new name.
This rebranding campaign is visible in communities throughout the Southeast, and along with a new name, PruittHealth has a new logo and website to better represent the organizations unique model of care and spectrum of health care services.

"I think my friend may have an emotional problem — how can I help?"
Reach out, talk to the distressed person, and listen to what s/he is going through. Some people fear that approaching a distraught individual will make things worse. Actually, giving caring and nonjudgmental support may help your friend feel less alone and misunderstood. Think about ask questions that reflect your concern and desire to help; such as, "How long have you been feeling this way?" or "Have you spoken with anyone else about all of this?"
Encourage the person to seek help.
Encourage the person to seek help from a professional. If your friend does not want to see a counselor, encourage her or him to speak with someone else trained to provide assistance; such as a dean or member of the Health Services staff. You can offer to go with the person to talk with someone. If they refuse help, you may seek assistance from a customs person, dean, or member of the counseling staff yourself. Counselors at CAPS are available to consult with you about how best to help another person. If you feel worried that the person is considering suicide, don't be afraid to ask. Asking does not increase the risk of suicide occurring. In fact, people are often relieved to have others acknowledge the depths of their feelings. Most people considering suicide are ambivalent about this choice. The behaviors that have drawn your attention are often a cry for help.
Take any concerns about suicide very seriously.
A frequent cause of suicide is a major mental illness or psychiatric condition, which requires professional intervention. As a friend, you can offer very important caring and support, but ultimately the individual needs professional assistance. Remember that you cannot determine someone's degree of risk or provide treatment to a suicidal person on your own; s/he needs professional help. Do not agree to keep suicidal thoughts in confidence. It is an act of friendship and loyalty, not of betrayal, to seek needed assistance for a suicidal person. Regardless of the circumstances, any reference to suicide should be considered serious. If an individual alludes to any details about planning a suicide attempt, immediate intervention is critical. Seek help right away. Remember you can always call us for advice.

A severely underated drummer in the world of metal, definately one of the pioneers in the use of double bass, what do you guys think?
Re: Robb Reiner
Underrated indeed, so is his band, Anvil. Forged In Fire is in my music library and his playing on that album amazed me when it came out and still amazes me today. He has a very distinct style and no metal drummer plays like him.

Major developments
South Australia has a record 304 major projects either underway or in the pipeline, with a total value of $94 billion.
We are currently enjoying tremendous growth that is attracting international, national and local investors across a wide range of sectors.
Much of this is driven by demand for our world-class mineral and energy resources, a significant contributor to South Australia's economy. Since 2005 the estimated value of minerals and energy projects in South Australia has increased by almost $25 billion to more than $30 billion.
Our expertise in defence, food, wine and manufacturing and the rise of renewable energy and environmental management technologies is also helping drive economic transition in this state.
The multi-billion contract to assemble the Navy's next-generation submarines together with the $8 billion Air Warfare Destroyers project are contributing to South Australia's reputation as the 'defence state'.
Innovative urban development at Bowden and the redevelopment of the former Mitsubishi site at Tonsley will provide business, living and employment opportunities in precincts shaped by world-leading sustainable thinking, design and technologies.
Huge projects in infrastructure, urban development, water management and cleantech are also changing the course of our economy and the future of all South Australians.

ok (ugggggggggggggggg)
when you dl the file it came in like 25 rar files right.... well i would extract a "fresh iso" to somewhere else then where you have the current one... then use that fresh ISO to load on the WBFS... try that
Thanks for getting back to me. yes the games i have had come in 25 or so files and yes they were extracted as a fresh iso then transfered onto the large HD with WBFS
funny thing is that i have tried a few of the games on 8GB stick as well as on the 1.5TB drive and the only ones that works is the 8GB one.......
I have to pop out for a couple of hours right now but please ANYONE with any ideas or a solution please message me here. or if you dont mind me ringing you (on a landline, coz its free) so you can guide me through any processes please PM me!
ps. ALL CONVERSATIONS VIA PHONE WILL BE IN CONFIDENCE.
Well, I think you should really borrow some other external drive and try with it. It might very well be a malfunction of your 1.5T hdd, and there's nothing to be done about that.
I have an iomega prestige 500gb hdd and is kind of loose on the miniusb part of the cable, so I have to bite the miniusb jack a little sometimes (or just use some tweezers) to make it fit tight.
Also, dont forget you must plug your hdd on the bottom usb port.
As emuhack said, it would be convenient to start from the beginning.
Take your hd, reformat it (wbfs of course) and transfer a new fresh iso onto it using your favorite wbfs manager (I use wiithon for linux and love it!).
Hope this helps a bit.

Hey guys,
Thanks for all your help earlier. After reading another post somewhere on here (i think) someone had exactly the same trouble as me. Games where there on the HD but not loading so their solution was to partitioned their drive into 2 parts
ie: 997GB WBFS & 400 GB NTSC
It worked for them after with no problems.
Just seems a bit of a waste of drive space that could be used for WBFS files(which was the intention to have a 1.5TB drive just for WBFS) but then you could keep the iso's on that partition? A thought !
Another thought....... Does this mean that using usb loaders, eg: Wiiflow Starlight edition and usb loader gx, that they only capable of understanding up to 1TB HD's?????
Well I have partitioned the drive pretty much the same as they did keeping it just under 1TB for WBFS and the other NTSC. Formatted the WBFS primary section with WBFS manager and put an ISO on there and the game works absaloutly fine!
Will keep you posted if any more news and if i can help with anyone elses problems.
Big thanks marked to all :-)
There is on usb loader gx, dunno if it can be done in wiiflow
Well ALL is going good right now......phew
No prob with HD since partition.
Also partitioned the NTFS so i now have just over 4GB as FAT32.
Copied everything that was on the SD card (including the homebrew stuff) and it seems to automaticly direct and load everything now to and from the HD.

A More Spiritual Union
The separation of church and state was never meant to imply a government devoid of spiritual principles. Actually, the two are compatible. But fear of violating this separation leads some people to reject any discussion with spiritual overtones. As a result, we lose the opportunity to strengthen our institutions by asking that they pay attention to the spiritual implications of their actions.Daily Dharma for July 26, 2015
The World Is Made of StoriesDaily Dharma for July 26, 2015
Waking up to Racism
I am often asked when talking about racism in Buddhist circles to be specific, give examples. In part, this longing emerges from the reluctance of white people in power to accept, and see clearly by opening their eyes, that white supremacy informs the shaping of Buddhist communities, individual interactions, publications, etc. That reluctance can only be transformed in spiritual practice, not by proof. There is never enough proof.Daily Dharma for July 28, 2015
The Process of Awakening
Awakening is not a state but a process: an ethical way of life and commitment that enables human flourishing. As such, it is no longer the exclusive preserve of enlightened teachers or accomplished yogis. Likewise, nirvana—the stopping of craving—is not the goal of the path but its very source. For human flourishing first stirs in that clear, bright, empty space where neurotic self-centredness realizes that it has no ground at all to stand on. One is then freed to pour forth like sunlight.Daily Dharma for July 29, 2015
Not a Private Journey
The way 'spirituality' is often used suggests that we exist solely as a collection of individuals, not as members of a religious community, and that religious life is merely a private journey. It is the religious expression of the ideology of free-market economics and of the radical 'disencumbered' individualism that idolizes the choice-making individual as the prime reality in the world.Daily Dharma for July 30, 2015

Kapilavastu: A Tale of Two (Competing) CitiesWe know where the Buddha was born, where he became enlightened, and where he died. We can even say where he gave his first sermon. But no one can say for sure where he spent his childhood, or where he married and fathered a child, for the precise location of Kapilavastu—the city-state his father governed as leader of the Shakya clan—remains a mystery.

Tantric Art: Then And NowFor over a thousand years, Tibetan society steadily absorbed the artistic and cultural influences of neighboring lands, developing a unique artistic tradition that flourished until the Chinese invasion in 1959. Between the eighth and twelfth centuries, Tibet became the direct inheritor of the various Vajrayana traditions of India, which represented the ultimate flowering of Indian Buddhist culture. From its southern neighbors, Tibet took on the ancient artistic traditions of the Pala dynasty of eastern India and the ingenious skills of the Newar craftsmen of Nepal's Kathmandu valley. From the west and north Tibet was exposed to the styles of Kashmir, Khotan, and central Asia, while from the east came the stylistic influences of Chinese art. More »

This Fathom-Long CarcassThus have I heard:The end of the world can neverBe reached by walking. However,Without having reached the world's endThere is no release from suffering.I declare that it is in this fathom—long carcass, with its perceptionsand thoughts, that there is the world, theorigin of the world, the cessation of theworld, and the path leading to the cessation of the world.(Anguttara Nikaya 4:45) This radical statement, attributed to the Buddha in the Pali canon, constitutes no less than a Copernican revolution in thought, with far-reaching consequences for our understanding of the human condition. It redefines "the world" in a way that flies in the face of both the scientific and the religious traditions of the West, but is remarkably well suited to the postmodern views emerging along the cutting edges of the new cognitive and neurological sciences.

Attention Means AttentionTHERE'S AN OLD ZEN STORY: a student said to Master Ichu, "Please write for me something of great wisdom." Master Ichu picked up his brush and wrote one word: "Attention." The student said, "Is that all?" The master wrote, "Attention. Attention." The student became irritable. "That doesn't seem profound or subtle to me." In response, Master Ichu wrote simply, "Attention. Attention. Attention." In frustration, the student demanded, "What does this word 'attention' mean?" Master Ichu replied, "Attention means attention." For "attention" we could substitute the word "awareness." Attention or awareness is the secret of life and the heart of practice. Like the student in the story, we find such a teaching disappointing; it seems dry and uninteresting. We want something exciting in our practice! Simple attention is boring: we ask, is that all there is to practice? More »

Mind is Shapely, Art is ShapelyGARY SNYDER asked his teacher Oda Sesso Roshi, "Sometimes I write poetry, is that all right?" Oda laughed and said, "It's all right as long as it comes out of your true self." He also said, "You know, poets have to play a lot, asobi." The word asobi has the implication of wandering the bars and pleasure quarters. For a few years while doing Zen practice around Kyoto, Snyder quit writing poetry. It didn't bother him. His thought was, Zen is serious, poetry is not serious. In 1966, just before Oda Roshi died, he spoke with him in the hospital. He said, "Roshi! So it's Zen is serious, poetry is not serious." Oda replied "No, no, poetry is serious! Zen is not serious." More »

Warrior MindTWENTY YEARS AGO, I didn't worry about my physical safety. I hitchhiked, camped out, walked alone at night, with a young person's imprudence. This unconcern gave way inexorably, first to a growing caution, and then to genuine anxiety and fear. In the last few years I felt myself to be in a strange state of paralysis. My fear of physical harm, of being a victim of violence, had come to affect my behavior many times a day, limiting where I went and at what times. I felt, like most women, resigned. I was always, however unconsciously, imagining and preparing for the assault any newspaper told me to expect. I resented this feeling, which seemed to have such gravity, pulling me down, forcing me to see the world through narrowed eyes, but I also felt helpless to change it. More »

Porsche 911 seven-speed manual confirmed?
Hidden in plain sight
A keen-eyed observer has noticed something unusual about the 2012 Porsche 911 teaser video - it apparently shows a seven-speed manual transmission.
If you skip forward to the 1:07 mark, you can catch of glimpse of the gear knob which seems to have five marking up top and three marking down below. This, as you're probably aware, is the same layout that was speculated earlier this month.
Regardless of whether or not our eyes are deceiving us, the redesigned Porsche 911 will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Meh, they are just trying to catch up to semi-trucks, they start at 8 MANUAL gears, and they come in 10, 12, I think the most I've seen is 16 gears ;)
Jul 21st, 2011 11:59pm
Why don't the use a dogleg first gear like in the first M3 so they could do gears 2-7 just like it is now...?
Jul 21st, 2011 5:04pm
cos they don't need to be like BMW, and also not to confuse all the owners who have driven their 6 speeds with having the first gear on the bottom.
Jul 22nd, 2011 1:18am
That was not the layout WCF speculated. Jeez
Jul 21st, 2011 2:15pm
I'm so glad that manual gearbox isn't left out can't wait to see a 7 Speed gearbox metal gearbox on an Italian supercar, if that ever happens
Jul 21st, 2011 1:51pm
why would you want this. Jay Leno just drove the SLS Roadster, which I believe is an Auto 7 speed and stated that no human being could shift faster or more accurate than the Auto in that car. so why bother.
Jul 21st, 2011 10:06am
Why bother having a manual? To feel engaged and part of the experience. Porsche are all about that kind of thing. The addition of a 7th ratio is most likely just for cruising, as is mentioned above. Otherwise you use it just like a 6-Speed. Maybe they will shorten the ratios slightly to quicken the acceleration, meaning you'd need 7th for that last 10-15mph of top speed (without hitting the redline), but I'm pretty sure it's an economy gear.
Jul 21st, 2011 12:36pm
For some cars, and not necessarily all, you would want 100% control. That's why
Jul 21st, 2011 2:10pm
the way your thoughts are swayed by mr. jay leno and not on your own tells us that you have not driven a manual. and btw, Mr. Jay Leno loves manual transmission cars. being able to shift quicker than human does not entirely make your driving more pleasurable.
Jul 22nd, 2011 1:16am
A 7 speed manual transmission!!! It is the most pointless and stupid thing I have ever heard. No body needs a 7 speed manual. No body can ever be happy with a 7 speed manual. Just be honest manual fans; even you can not enjoy shifting 7 endless gears.
Jul 21st, 2011 9:43am
hahaha... i kinda agree with you...i think 7 is just too manual tranny
Jul 21st, 2011 9:59am
you are missing the point of why - if its true - they added a 7th gear its for fuel consumption ,i read it some where in a Porsche forum .so if you are on track or speed driving i don't think you will use the 7th gear .
Jul 21st, 2011 10:25am
fQation is right. You will barely use 7th. Maybe just on highway cruising or such, but certainly not on track or everyday use.
Jul 21st, 2011 10:42am
Just a thought, but don't styling departments redo the skins of cars so the marketing people can reinvent them, while the engineers try to make the the cars better. So you would prefer something different every few years and don't like the styling? Lots of choice out there and no shortage of people who would beg to disagree. Looking back at Porsches over the years, I think it's great that they've stuck to improving it for so long, and hope they keep going with the Carrera.
Jul 21st, 2011 7:41am

If it looks exactly like any other Porsche out there...I dont care how many Gears it has...it is still not atractive. Why does all the Porsches look exactly the same year after year...Dont they have a Styling Department over there?
Jul 21st, 2011 6:35am
But that's the great thing about the 911! It's an ongoing evolution. The car get's improved with the advance of time. It's like a great building that stands as a monument...a symbol of the city if you will. But the building gets little improvements here and there when new technology is introduced to make itself more functional as a building. That's why it makes the 911 such a special car...and like all things classic and good (there are many examples of things that are still on sale today that is still basically the same design as the day it was introduced...with little improvements here and there) its design spans generations and it is immediately recognizable to many people from many different generations. It's just an acquired taste. Some people want something new something different all the time...some people like things the way they are. There's no right or wrong answer...
Jul 21st, 2011 10:00am
it´s probably the most iconic shape ever. no damn reason to ruin it!
Jul 22nd, 2011 1:18am
Hanssolo58, You probably don't understand what Porsche is all about...Porsche can create or change as many variations of their models as they want, but there is only one model they can never change and that is the 911... it's the same story for Aston Martin...

How to Get a Dog to Stop Digging Up Potted Plantsby Stephanie Dube Dwilson
Whether your potted plants are inside or outside, you don't want your dog burrowing into them. The fresh soil and interesting smells may attract your dog to the pots, where a few swipes of the paw will leave your deck or rug covered in soil. Even the most hardy plant will not survive too many of these forced evictions. You can pick up your smaller pots and put them out of your dog's reach, but this is a short-term solution. By teaching your dog to leave the potted plants alone, you can enjoy them displayed wherever you like.
Dip cotton balls in oil of cloves and bury them just under the soil in your potted plants. This acts as a repellent.
Place pine cones on the surface of the soil. The pine cones will make it less enjoyable for your pup to dig in the planter.
Play with your dog several times a day. Digging is often something your dog does when he gets bored. You may find that if your pet is getting enough physical activity and mental stimulation, he doesn't bother your plants.
Supervise your dog. If he has shown a tendency to dig in your potted plants, your dog needs supervision around the plants until he is trustworthy. If he starts nosing around a pot, give him a firm "no," so he will understand he isn't allowed to bother them.
Items You Will Need
- Cotton balls
- Oil of cloves
- Pine cones

At your own risk
Summerville Police responded to Montreaux Bar and Grill Feb. 14 at 1 a.m. for a robbery. Two men were assaulted and robbed on the bars back patio by three males who had fled the scene by the time police arrived. However, all three were identified by patrons and bar employees. Video surveillance documented the assault.
Police found one man lying on the ground with his face covered in blood and the other appearing delirious and stating he could not remember anything. The conscious man had a gash on his head and a split lip. The man on the ground had multiple lacerations on his face, ears and head. Both men refused transport with EMS to the hospital.
The three men were identified as regulars at the bar. The video showed them jumping the two men and then robbing them.
The men were identified as William Wesley Cliff, 24, of Summerville, Keyon (last name and address unknown) a black male, 6 foot, 185 pounds, in his twenties, with dreadlocks and brown eyes and Quinton (last name and address unknown), in his twenties, black male, 5-foot, eight-inches, 150 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
The incident is under investigation.
Dont trust without badge
Two people were approached Feb. 11, around 9 p.m., in Target by a man claiming to be a police officer. He flashed a badge but neither person was able to see it. He asked for their drivers licenses and he photographed the licenses using his phone. When they asked to see his badge he refused to show it to them. He told them he needed the license information to mail them a ticket for spinning their tires when they exited Dicks.
When the victims asked for the mans name he swore at them.
They exited the store and called Summerville Police. While they waited for police, the man approached them again and accused them of harassing his wife and told them I suggest you get in your truck and leave before I make you. Again they asked for his badge and he refused and then left the scene headed toward Kohls. The man was driving a black Ford Ranger with a black tool box in the bed.

- Talked about being a top 100 player in a few years yet can't win a round of qualifying in a futures event at age of 20+
- Tried to retire from a message board and come back with a fresh start under a new username and got caught
This is why I'm not surprised at all if this double account is actually the case. From JG's posts in NT, he has appeared as pretty dramatic more often than not.. Not going to bash him though, since he is one of the more sensible fans of Rafa on MTF, but he definitely has some reassurance and self-esteem issues (?) at least that is what it appears.

Conway, NH March 14, 2013 – Rapid Insight Inc., the market leader in easy-to-use business intelligence and predictive analytics software, today announced that The College of Westchester has expanded its usage with the purchase of Veera.
The software will play a critical role in enabling the College of Westchester Cabinet Members to monitor success by creating key performance indicator (KPI) dashboards.
A longtime user of Rapid Insight Analytics for predictive modeling, Michael Sandick, VP of Student Affairs and Institutional Research, turned to Rapid Insight Veera to quickly create KPI dashboards to be used by the College's Cabinet Members to assess performance and guide decision making.
"The College of Westchester focuses on their students and their careers. It is critical that we monitor our effectiveness and the success of our students both during their time here and in their subsequent employment," Sandick offered.
"In addition to being able to create the KPI dashboards in a matter of hours, I've been able to quickly generate sophisticated analytic reports that used to take days or weeks to prepare." Veera is a new breed of analytic software developed by Rapid Insight. Using the concept of ETA (Extract, Transform, Analyze), the technology enables both business analysts and non-technical users to quickly turn complex data into actionable information without having to write code. Users can develop their own reports, dashboards, analytic datasets, and ad hoc analyses by pointing Veera directly at databases, text files, spreadsheets or other file structures.
Rapid Insight is committed to providing affordable and easy to use tools that make it more efficient for colleges and universities to build predictive models and create ad-hoc reports, dashboards and analyses.
Its customers have consistently reaped the benefits of greater analytic power without any dependence on complex coding or programming.

Complete Contingent Workforce Management
Food Processing OrganizationClient Challenge
Our client, a leading food processing corporation, needed staffing support in their engineering, information services, administrative, manufacturing, marketing, field sales, and research and development areas. In analyzing their national staffing strategy, they realized that they lacked a uniform pricing structure, and they were also unable to capture the overall spending for outsourced services.
With well over 25 individual staffing suppliers, they were not tracking the effectiveness or quality of services. Additionally, our client uncovered numerous high cost consulting contracts that were providing staff augmentation, rather than consulting services in software development, accounting and finance, and legal functions. This was identified as an additional focus area to realize savings and improve effectiveness.
Our Solution
System One was chosen as the primary vendor to provide staffing services throughout the United States. For the past 10 years, we have worked with our client and successfully staffed projects ranging in duration from several weeks to several years. We have worked in partnership to develop overall policies and procedures, as well as an employee orientation program. Projects have included construction of a new plant as well as an upgrade of both hardware and software of the entire corporation's desktop applications.
Through our permanent recruitment services, we have staffed production projects requiring more than 200 employees and also managed the entire employee hiring process for our client. In addition to providing targeted local recruiting, we have provided national recruiting services for their field sales team to generate a high volume of employees across the U.S. We also set up a temp-to-direct program, providing our client the option of converting contingent workers to full-time employees after a three-month trial period. This has decreased the administrative burden for our client and has also led to additional savings.
The Results
Through a complete managed staffing program, System One has enabled our client to focus on its core competencies. Today, between 400 and 900 System One employees are on assignment at any given time, depending on varying demands during peak production periods.
Our overall impact has been dramatic and in one year alone, "hard" cost savings of approximately $500,000 were realized. Since our client moved away from consulting service contracts in the areas of software, accounting and finance and legal, an additional $500,000 in savings has resulted. In addition, logging our employee hours directly into our client's system captured real time costs and provided an additional savings.

We've been bad bloggers lately. I remember all of us talking in August about how crazy November, December, and January would be, but I could not have guessed the insanity of it all. In fact, I wish I could go back to August and opt out of everything I agreed to! Kidding.
Life is crazy, but wonderful. Along with getting to participate in all the hustle and bustle of the season, we are anticipating the arrival of two beautiful baby girls! This means, Camberley is gearing up for maternity leave… no easy task for someone who puts her heart and soul into her company. Ashley on the opposite side of the spectrum, is not gearing up for maternity leave… she already has two little monsters that will continue to demand time, love, and attention.
The rest of us are trying to sort through our own responsibilities and to-do lists. As I was pondering over our blog abandonment I realized, the blog is like family, you know that even if you don't make enough time for them, they will always be waiting to love you when you return. So in actuality, our ignoring Fancy House Road only means we love it and know it loves us. Now the blog waiting around is obviously a tad different then the readers… We won't ponder those possibilties. ha.
One thing we did manage to find time for this month was ordering our Fancy House Road holiday cards from tinyprints! Being that it's only Michael and I, I've always ignored the possibilty of sending out holiday cards. I thought, too much of a hassle and not enough time. Wow, I guess there is a theme to my life… I'm always going on and on about time. I feel a resolution coming on…
Well, I'm happy to have discovered that I'm no longer opposed to holiday cards! I volunteered to place our order on tinyprints and I could not believe how easy it was. Have you used tinyprints? I'm probably the last to know about it, but I love it. Since I didn't have all of your addresses or near enough cards, I wanted to share what we sent out to some of our favorite bloggers.
Have a wonderful week and we promise to pop in as often as we can! I will also keep you updated on any baby news.
Side note: I may or may not send out some Valentines cards to make up for not sending out Christmas cards the last 5 years! Here are my favorite:
Or I may just get this for Michael!

Vt. fire chief pleads guilty to thrown flashlight
Posted at: 01/09/2013 9:28 AM

By: Associated Press
BENNINGTON, Vt. (AP) - The chief of the Bennington Rural Fire Department has pleaded guilty to throwing a flashlight at a vehicle he feared was going to hit him.
Joseph Hayes of North Bennington was charged in July with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and unlawful mischief.
The Bennington Banner
reports in a deal with prosecutors, Hayes agreed to go before a community board to discuss what he did.
Police said Hayes was assisting with downed power lines last June when he saw a vehicle coming toward him. He shined his flashlight at it. When it didn't slow down or stop, he threw the flashlight
Fred Grant, the driver, said his vision was inhibited by rain. He said he didn't notice Hayes until he heard something hit his vehicle.
