As we turn the page and move ahead into 2013, here is a final look back at the top 10 ACC stories from the eventful year that was 2012. Don't be surprised if at least one of looks familiar:
1. More ACC realignment: The ACC landed the big fish in the ever-changing ocean of college conference realignment in September when it announced that Notre Dame was leaving the Big East to become a member in all sports but football. At the same time, the ACC also raised its exit fee for schools wanting to leave from $20 million to what seemed to be a prohibitive $50 million. It was a development that – along with the earlier addition of Pittsburgh and Syracuse – figured to insure the league's future stability and end rumors of other schools leaving. "When you consider Notre Dame coming into the league, the attractiveness of that and the excitement our schools have for that and what it brings tangibly as well as optically, and you combine that with what our presidents have done in terms of the exit fee," Swofford said crowed at the time, "I don't know why there would be any rumors." Two months later, he got his answer when Maryland – a charter member of the ACC – announced its intention to leave for the Big Ten. Louisville was quickly added to fill the vacancy, but the battle over the $50 million exit fee is just beginning. Maryland is trying not to pay it. The ACC has sued to make sure it does. This is a story that figures to change as much as the league's lineup as 2013 begins.
2. NCAA drops the hammer on UNC: A scandal that has spanned more than three years may finally have reached its climax on March 12, when the NCAA hit the Tar Heel football program with sanctions ranging from a loss a five scholarships per season for the next three years to a one-year postseason ban. The latter proved even more damaging than originally thought when new coach Larry Fedora and his record-setting spread offense – fueled by star running back Giovani Bernard – went 8-4 and won a share of the ACC's Coastal Division title. Instead of going to the league championship game and playing in an upper-tier bowl, UNC was forced to watch from the sidelines for rules violations committed under the watch of former coach Butch Davis. Although the folks in Chapel Hill spent the year talking about finally being able to move forward, especially after chancellor Holden Thorp announced his resignation, the trouble just wouldn't go away. Further reports of academic misconduct, dating all the way back to 1999 were uncovered, prompting school officials to commission former Gov. Jim Martin to do a thorough review of the situation. After four months of research, Martin issued a 77-page report proclaiming that UNC's problems were caused by "anomalies specific to the" school's Department of African and Afro-American Studies." He concluded that the mess was an academic scandal, not an athletic scandal – but his findings seemed to raise as many questions as they answered.
3. End of the TOB era at N.C. State: Tom O'Brien finally seemed to take himself off the perpetual hot seat when his N.C. State football team upset then-No. 3 Florida State on Oct. 6. His job security, however, evaporated quickly after coughing up a late 10-point lead to rival UNC and an inexplicable blowout loss to lowly Virginia. As it turned out, even a season-ending victory against Boston College that guaranteed a winning record and a third straight bowl appearance couldn't save O'Brien's job. He was dismissed after six mediocre seasons with the Wolfpack and replaced a week later by energetic young Dave Doeren, who led Northern Illinois to a 12-1 record and a berth in the Orange Bowl. While O'Brien and his staff ran a clean program and had had their share of success, going 40-35 during his tenure, he lost favor with athletic director Debbie Yow because of the no notorious inconsistency of his teams, especially against ACC competition. In a fitting end to the O'Brien era, the Wolfpack – led by interim coach Dana Bible – self-destructed amid a rash of turnovers and penalties in a 38-24 loss to Vanderbilt at the Music City Bowl.
4. Another gold for Coach K: Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski's year got off to a disappointing start when his Blue Devils faltered down the stretch and were upset by 15th seeded Lehigh in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. Things turned around quickly, though, when the Hall of Fame coach took a roster filled with all-star NBA talent – including MVP LeBron James and former Wake Forest star Chris Paul – to London for the Summer Olympics. Reprising his success from four years earlier in Beijing, Krzyzewski led Team USA to its second straight gold medal. The championship-clinching 107-100 victory against Spain completed an amazing seven-year run that helped revitalize U.S. basketball on the international stage and improved Krzyzewski's record with the national team to 62-1. He then capped off the year by leading his Blue Devils to early wins against Kentucky, Louisville and Ohio State on the way to a No. 1 national ranking for the 11th time in the last 16 years.
5. Duke ends 18-year bowl drought: The Blue Devils didn't just beat rival UNC and regain possession of the Victory Bell when Jamison Crowder came down in the end zone with a touchdown pass from Sean Renfree with 13 seconds remaining on Oct. 20. They also officially qualified to play in a bowl for the first time since 1994. Although coach David Cutcliffe's team didn't win again after that emotional victory – ending the regular season on a four-game losing streak before dropping a heartbreaking decision to Cincinnati at the Belk Bowl in Charlotte – the accomplishment was hardly dampened. For helping make Duke relevant again in the ACC, Cutcliffe was named the league's Coach of the Year.
6. Wolfpack's winning ways: Debbie Yow's first priority when she was hired as N.C. State's athletic director three years ago was to change the culture of Wolfpack athletics. Though there's still work left to do, the program too a major step in the right direction during the 2011-12 academic year by become one of only three schools nationally to win a football bowl game, advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA men's basketball tournament and win an NCAA baseball regional. Though coach Tom O'Brien's football team wasn't able to sustain the momentum from its Belk Bowl victory against Louisville last December, coach Mark Gottfried's basketball team is off to another hot start behind the talents of preseason ACC Player of the Year C.J. Leslie and Rookie of the Year Rodney Purvis. Coach Elliott Avent's baseball team will als0 be one of the ACC's preseason favorites again in 2013, thanks to the return of a veteran lineup — led by reigning ACC Pitcher of the Year Carlos Rodon and speedy sophomore third baseman Trea Turner.
7. Florida State wins first ACC basketball title: The Seminoles dominated the ACC in football when they first came into the league in 1991, winning or sharing nine straight championships and 12 of their first 14. But until last March, they had never won a men's basketball title. Led by guard Michael Snaer and Iraq war veteran Bernard James, coach Leonard Hamilton's team gave a glimpse of its potential early in the ACC season when it routed heavily favored UNC by 33 points in Tallahassee. FSU proved that victory was no fluke two months later when it took out Duke and UNC on consecutive days at the ACC tournament in Atlanta to become the first school since Georgia Tech in 1985 to win its maiden tourney title. Also of note is that Hamilton became the first black coach to win an ACC championship.
8. Another women's soccer title for UNC: After two seasons away from its usual home, the NCAA women's soccer championship trophy returned to Chapel Hill on Dec. 2 when coach Anson Dorrance's team defeated Penn State 4-1 to earn its record 21st national title. At 15-5-3, this wasn't the most dominant team in UNC's illustrious soccer history, but it certainly had a flair for the dramatic. Kealia Ohai, the Most Outstanding Offensive Player of the College Cup tournament, scored a dramatic sudden death goal in the 105th minute to secure a 1-0 win against Stanford in the national semifinals before Ohai and Most Outstanding Defensive Player Satara Murray led an early onslaught that turned the championship game against Penn State into a rout and end the Tar Heels' title "drought."
9. Clemson's 'Rad-ical' hire: There's an unwritten rule among ACC teams that rival schools won't hire coaches away from other league members. Apparently that same gentleman's agreement doesn't pertain to athletic directors. On Oct. 29, about a month after outgoing AD Terry Don Phillips announced his resignation, Clemson made a quick trip down Interstate 85 to pluck Dan Radakovich away from Georgia Tech as its replacement. It was a surprise move, to be certain, but it was a also a sound hire for the Tigers. Although the Yellow Jackets' football program ran into trouble with the NCAA during his watch, Radakovich was responsible for a significant upgrade in facilities – including the newly opened McCamish Pavillion – and a stabilization of Tech's financial situation during his 6-plus year tenure in Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets also had 51 teams qualify for NCAA tournament play or bowl games during that time.
10. The Karl Hess saga: Chris Corchiani and Tom Gugliotta played together on teams coached by Jim Valvano in the late 1980s and early '90s. But they found themselves back in the spotlight on Feb.18 when they were ejected from the game by referee Karl Hess late in the second half of their alma mater's 76-62 loss to Florida State at PNC Arena. Both were sitting in the front row behind the scorer's table and apparently got under Hess' skin with their verbal taunts. Their ejections earned both former stars a standing ovation from the Wolfpack faithful as they were escorted from their seats by security. Afterward, State athletic director Debbie Yow was anything but amused at the treatment her school's two former stars received. First, she issued a tersely worded statement saying she would not tolerate her school's fans being treated unfairly. She then honored Corchiani, Gugliotta and the rest of their 1989 teammates with something called the "Wolfpack Unlimited Award" before the next home game. Hess was eventually reprimanded by the ACC for not following proper procedures in his ejections of Corchiani and Gugliotta. He was also pulled off his next scheduled game involving the Wolfpack, Feb. 29 against Miami. In protest of the punishment, Hess pulled himself out of the ACC tournament, a gesture that brought an angry response from his fellow refs – who showed their displeasure and support by writing his initials on their shoes during the opening day of the ACC tournament.
Among the stories that did not make my list, but were important in their own right include the five first-round NBA draft choices produced by the ACC, including four from UNC; The wrist injury to UNC point guard Kendall Marshall that derailed the Tar Heels' chances at getting to the Final Four; Miami self-imposing a postseason ban on itself in football for the second season in a row; The opening of the McCamish Pavillion, Georgia Tech's new state-of-the-art basketball home; Duke's Conner Vernon becoming the ACC's all-time leading receiver; Wilmington's Casey Barth breaking his brother Connor as UNC record for career field goals; The haul of postseason honors brought in by his former Hoggard High and current Tar Heel teammate Jonathan Cooper; The surprise firing of Virginia Tech basketball coach Seth Greenberg; The decision of the UNC women's basketball team to decline a WNIT invitation after being left out of the NCAA tournament for the first time in 11 years; And finally, the growing unrest of Wake Forest fans over coach Jeff Bzdelik and the continued decline of his men's basketball team.
Yes, 2012 was an eventful year and 2013 promises to be just as busy. I can't wait. Until then, have a happy and safe New Year's celebration … and may all your resolutions come true!

Look out! John Mackey's back in town
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Oct 04, 2008
Sure, Chris Berman's act is more tired than a Troll after a hard day of drinking and a handful of Valium.
But, let's give credit where credit's due: "Boomer" is a giant of modern sports broadcasting, one of the original faces of ESPN and one of the most recognizable figures in sports today.
The dude's done it all and deserves a little respect – even as we tool on his BrettFavre mancrush.
So a few weeks ago, in what passes for a tribute in the world of the Cold, Hard Football Facts, we wondered how we might remember some of the greats of pro football past if Berman's act was around in the 1960s.
We asked the Trolls to come up with a few Berman-esque nicknames and they responded in force.
Here are some of the best – with plenty of nicknames that play off the old Berman habit of working in song lyrics.
(But leave it to a CHFF Troll to find a way to connect former Falcons great Tommy Nobis with Ethel Merman.)
The lyrical nicknames are listed togehter at the bottom. There are also a handful in here from eras other than the 1960s, but thought they were worth including.
Got any good Boomer-isms from the past? Send them along here. (Bonus kudos for anyone who comes up with a great nickname for HOFer Y.A. Tittle.)
George "Sauer" Kraut (best enjoyed by Jets fans with New Jersey ripper hot dogs)
Lance "You're in Good Hands with" Alworth
"Girl Scout" Cookie Gilchrist
Otis "My Man" Taylor (O.K., that one's been used by Berman before for Otis Smith)
John Roach "Clip" (a little edgy for ESPN)
Willie "Morning" Wood (even edgier)
Forrest "Gump" Gregg
Roger Wherli "to Bed Wherli to rise" (that's good stuff)
Jerry "Po Fri" Rice (best served with that other Chinese food classic, Ray "Cream of Sum Yun" Guy)
Lyle "You Say Alzahdo I Say" Alzado
John Hannah "and Her Sisters"
Ken Houston "We Have a Problem"
Jerry "Get me Rex" Kramer
Sam "When You" Wyche "Upon a Star" (would have been perfect if the Bengals won Super Bowl XXIII and Boomer Esiason went to Disney World)
Tunch "You Be" Ilkin
Steve "How Does Your Garden" Grogan
Sam Hunt "for Red October"
Johnny Unitas "We Stand"
Lawrence "Of a-Fibula" Taylor (not the 1960s, but good hooch just the same)
MUSICAL BERMAN-isms:
Injecting musical lyrics is a classic Berman tactic. And the greats of the past would have been a Berman gold mine.
Tommy Nobis "Like Showbiz" (must be done in Ethel Merman's voice)
show video here
Willie "Norwegian" Wood (right in Berman's sweet spot)
Bob "Pictures of" Lilly
John Mackey "'s Back in Town" (and when he scores a second TD, Berman could end with a rousing, "Look Out Old Mackey's Back!")
Paul "Me So" Hornung (A bit of an anachronism, as "Me So Horny" was popularized in the 1980s ... but give the Trolls a little poetic license here)
Marion "I Like Big" Butts (yeah, we know, Sir-Mix-A-Lot and Butts were both, ahem, big in the 1990s)
Jethro "Tull" Pugh (best paired with images from NFL Films of snot running down his nose)
Bobby "Life in the Fast" Layne (OK, Layne played in the 50s and the Eagles sang in the 70s ... but you get the picture)
Lew "If I Were a" Carpenter (It would have been perfect if he were teammates with Pete "And You Were a" Ladygo)
John "Henry Beat the Steam Engine" Johnson
Ted "'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky" Hendricks
Don "Don't Step on My Blue Suede Shoes" Perkins
MacArthur "I'll Never Lose that Recipe Again" Lane (bonus points for referencing perhaps the worst song of the 1970s)
Don "Don't Step on My Blue Suede Shoes" Perkins
MacArthur "I'll Never Lose that Recipe Again" Lane (bonus points for referencing perhaps the worst song of the 1970s)
Bob Hayes "-y Shade of Winter"
Max "Me and Bobby" McGhee
Kellen "Standing on a Corner in" Winslow "Arizona"

Rihanna Cries to Oprah Winfrey: Chris Brown "Needed Help" After He Assaulted Me
Rihanna is getting raw.
In a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey airing Sunday on Oprah's Next Chapter, the 24-year-old singer gets very emotional discussing her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
PHOTOS: Rihanna and Chris' romance
"It was embarrassing, it was humiliating," Rihanna tells Winfrey, 58, via an excerpt released Thursday to ABC. "I lost my best friend. Everything I knew switched, switched in a night, and I couldn't control that."
The 23-year-old performer got into a physical altercation with Rihanna the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards in February. He pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to five years probation, community service and one year of domestic violence counseling.

"It became a circus and I felt protective. I felt like the only person they hate right now, is him. It was a weird, confusing space to be in," Rihanna says while fighting back tears. "As angry as I was, as angry and hurt and betrayed, I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help ... and who's going to help him?"

"Nobody's going to say he needs help," the "We Found Love" singer explained to Winfrey. "Everybody's going to say he's a monster without looking at the source . . . and I was more concerned about him."
Rihanna's interview on Oprah's Next Chapter airs Sunday, Aug. 19 at 9 p.m. EST on OWN.

Of all Walt Disney World theme parks, Disney's Animal Kingdom perhaps offers my favorite moments – those little breaks in a touring plan that are opportunities to relax, enjoy some unscripted fun and appreciate details that make up the Disney Difference. I generally find Disney's Animal Kingdom relaxing, particularly because of the wildlife and lush landscaping. But with E-ticket attractions as Expedition Everest and Kilimanjaro Safaris requiring some regimented touring, and the park's extensive exploration paths, it's useful have a few "Take 5" moments planned for your trek.

Brussels Sprouts recipes to try: salad | simple sides | bring on the bacon | decadently dreamy | mains
Most of us have quotes or saying from childhood that are forever embedded in our memory. "Eat your vegetables" is one that has been so overused that savvy 21st-century parents have replaced it with clever tricks and gimmicks to get their kids to eat the healthy stuff on their plate. But back in my day a simple demand usually worked.
While many from my generation would have needed more than a command to stomach Brussels sprouts, not me. I'm Greek and in a Greek household every vegetable gets to swim in a pool of fresh lemon juice and vibrant green olive oil—with such a dressing, even overcooked Brussels sprouts were palatable.
Recently, there's been quite a Brussels sprout renaissance. Everywhere you look these petite nuggets of healthy goodness are making news. Chefs around the country are putting them on their seasonal menus; food magazines are highlighting their deliciousness as a quick-cooking side; and bloggers are convincing readers to take the plunge and give them a try, especially if sourced from local farms.
With growing popularity comes growing demand. Most of us can now find Brussels sprouts available loose in the produce section, as opposed to the pint-size baskets that used to be the norm. But, if you live in an area where they are still sold that way, don't succumb to frozen. If anything, order some online or find a CSA that grows them.
The majority of commercially grown Brussels sprouts come from California, when in season, they are available nationwide. These relatives of cabbage love the cold weather and become sweeter as the temperature dips. When selecting Brussels sprouts, choose ones that are uniform in size and firm when squeezed. If firm, they will also feel a bit heavy in your hand, which is also a sign that they are fresh. As long as they stay dry and cold once you bring them home, they will last in the fridge for up to a week or two.
One of the main reasons I love to prepare Brussels sprouts is that they require virtually no prep work. Rinse them off, trim the ends, halve if necessary and you're done. No lettuce spinner, no checking for bugs, and no peeling. Even shaving them raw for salads only takes a minute of prep and only uses a grater or mandoline—my idea of kitchen heaven.
The days of cooking Brussels sprouts to mush are over-there's absolutely no reason for Brussels sprouts to ever see more than a minute or two blanched in a pot of rigorously boiling salted water. When these sweet sprouts are roasted, broiled, or braised their flavor is heightened even more. The added benefit of less time on the stove is the less chance they will produce a sulfur-like smell and bitter taste. High-heat applications also bring out their nuttiness, which is perfect for all those fall and winter recipes that use hard cheeses like parmesan, toasted nuts like hazelnuts, and sweet dried fruits like cranberries.
The selection of recipes that I've picked runs the gamut from rich and creamy to super simple. The biggest challenge selecting recipes was finding ones that didn't contain bacon, pancetta, or pork belly. I know that everything tastes better with bacon, but Brussels sprouts deserve a little more respect! Then again, if you're convincing someone that Brussels sprouts are worth a try, bring on the bacon.

Great recipe even if you decide not to blanch the leaves and leave them raw.
On December 2, 2010, 11:25 am spm said:
Great combination of flavors, but halve the sprouts first and cut the steam time in half.
On December 2, 2010, 11:28 am spm said:
This would be equally delicious without sauteeing the ingredients and simply tossing together.

There's enough going on here that this could be a main dish salad served for lunch.
Simple sides

On December 2, 2010, 11:40 am spm said:
Toasted buttery pecans are perfectly paired with the nuttiness of sprouts.
Bring on the bacon
On December 2, 2010, 11:42 am spm said:
Great combination of flavors. Don't leave out the mint since it enhances the sprout flavor.
On December 2, 2010, 11:44 am spm said:
This could almost be a meal in itself. Full of fresh and vibrant flavors and perfect for a cold day.
On December 2, 2010, 11:49 am spm said:
This is a wow dish that conveniently uses any leftover Challah or Panettone.
Decadently dreamy
On December 2, 2010, 11:53 am spm said:
With other vegetables, it would be easy to disguise the sprouts in this decadent side dish.
On December 2, 2010, 11:56 am spm said:
Dare sprout haters with this rich and flavorful side. Consider cutting the quantity of sprouts in half and add a layer of thinly sliced peeled parsnips.
On December 2, 2010, 12:02 pm spm said:
This is a great weeknight one-skillet meal.
On December 2, 2010, 12:08 pm spm said:
Great pairing with endive and Brussels sprouts. Don't be afraid to cut the butter in half.
On December 2, 2010, 12:12 pm spm said:
Classic roasted meat dish where the meat and vegetables cook in the same pan. Great for a Sunday meal.

Pasta, gorgonzola, and Brussels sprouts? Yes, I made it last night and it was delicious.

Thank you for the support sir.
I was just thinking that for an alternative news website there sure are a lot of closeminded, mainstream thinkers who unquestionably accept "the way things are".

Flexible Discriminant Analysis by Optimal Scoring
Hastie, Trevor, Tibshirani, Robert, Buja, Andreas, Journal of the American Statistical Association
Fisher's linear discriminant analysis is a valuable tool for multigroup classification. With a large number of predictors, one can find a reduced number of discriminant coordinate functions that are "optimal" for separating the groups. With two such functions, one can produce a classification map that partitions the reduced space into regions that are identified with group membership, and the decision boundaries are linear. This article is about richer nonlinear classification schemes. Linear discriminant analysis is equivalent to multiresponse linear regression using optimal scorings to represent the groups. In this paper, we obtain nonparametric versions of discriminant analysis by replacing linear regression by any nonparametric regression method. In this way, any multiresponse regression technique (such as MARS or neural networks) can be postprocessed to improve its classification performance.
KEY WORDS: Classification; Discriminant analysis; Nonparametric regression; MARS.
Multigroup classification or discrimination is an important problem with applications in many fields. In the generic problem, the outcome of interest G falls into J unordered classes, which for convenience we denote by the set J = {1, 2, 3, ... J}. We wish to build a rule for predicting the class membership of an item based on p measurements of predictors or features X [epsilon] [R.sup.p]. Our training sample consists of the class membership and predictors for N items. Traditional statistical methods for this problem include linear discriminant analysis and multiple logistic regression. Neural network classifiers have become a powerful alternative, with the ability to incorporate a very large number of features in an adaptive nonlinear model. Ripley (1994) gave an informative survey from a statistician's viewpoint. The recent success and popularity of neural networks led us to look for similar methodologies in the statistical literature, but this seems to be a relatively unexplored area. One significant appr oach is the classification and regression tree (CART) methodology of Breiman, Friedman, Olshen, and Stone (1984), which is well known to statisticians and is becoming popular in the artificial intelligence community.
There have been a number of recent advances in the nonparametric multiple regression literature. These include projection pursuit regression (Friedman and Stuetzle 1981), the ACE algorithm (Breiman and Friedman 1985), additive models (Hastie and Tibshirani 1990), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS; Friedman 1991), Breiman's (1991) II method, the interaction spline methodology of Wahba (1990), and more recently the hinging hyperplanes of Breiman (199la). Neural networks (e.g., Barron and Barron 1988; Lippman 1989, and Hinton 1989) can be viewed as yet another approach to nonparametric regression. In this article we describe methods for multigroup classification that use these tools to generalize linear discriminant analysis.
The foundations for the developments described here can be found in the nonlinear scaling literature, notably the work of Gifi (1981, 1990). Our work was motivated by the unpublished paper by Breiman and Ihaka (1984). Section 6.3 details the connection with their work. Ripley and Hjovt (1994) were similarly motivated.
This article focuses on adaptive classification procedures. A companion article, "Penalized Discriminant Analysis" (Hastie, Buja, and Tibshirani 1994), gives a more technical basis for some of the procedures described here and focuses on obtaining smooth, interpretable canonical variates for high-dimensional problems such as spectral and image analysis. Both articles rely on the connections between penalized optimal scoring and penalized discriminant analysis. Hereafter we will refer to this companion article as PDA.

2 Direct Sales Booking Games
These direct sales booking games ideas are fun and add value to your show.
If you play home party plan games at your show make sure they are FUN for the guests and serve a purpose for you, the consultant.
In the direct sales industry how to get bookings for home parties can be an ongoing frustration.
If you don't have shows booked, you don't make any sales; if you don't make any sales, you don't earn any money.
Make your booking games FUN and you are sure to schedule parties at every show!
Direct Sales Booking Games
Games must be FUN for the guests or they will be counter productive!
The Deal or No Deal Booking Game:
For this game you will allow guests to choose an envelope (or jewelry box or other appropriate container) which contains a prize.
Guests will each take one, prior to learning how the game works, and then have the chance to take the deal and open the envelope or not do the deal and hand it back to you after learning how the game works.
Make up enough envelopes so everyone can take one and fill about two-thirds with a prize plus a paper stating "host a fun-filled (company name) show with me!"
The prizes can be a free shipping coupon, $25 off your order, or a coupon for a free item.
The no deal is a way out…. they should understand that if they say no deal they maybe saying no deal to a booking and yet it may be a discounted order. We do not want to force people to host a show so if they are not willing they should take the no deal.
Another similar game that you may want to check out is the the Book To Look game
Tell the guests that the only rule is that if they do the deal they must honor the prize and that you will also honor it. You could easily get two or three bookings from a 15-guest show with this home party plan game.
Ribbon BOOKINGS Show Game:
Another booking game idea that is great for jewelry shows is the Ribbon Game. It is simple and can work with other product lines too.
Tie three ribbons on your host's wrist (or you could use jewelry) and tell the guests that for each show booked tonight, the host will get to remove one ribbon.
If all three are removed the host gets a special gift.
Guests will be excited to see if they all get removed and are more likely to book a show if their friend gets a prize.
What ever direct sales booking games you play make sure your guests are laughing and having fun!
No fun = no bookings!

Solvang : Solvang : 4t quarter report 2012 Shipping activities yielded NOK 19.8 mill in Q4 2012, where NOK 19.4 mill came from the ship-owning companies (equity method), compared to NOK 14 mill during the same period in 2011, where the ship-owning companies contributed with NOK 14.9 mill. The full year 2012 yielded NOK 59.7 mill, where NOK 57.6 mill came from the ship-owning companies, compared to the result for 2011 of NOK 38.4 mill, where the ship-owning companies contributed NOK 36.4 mill. The result before tax for 2012 was NOK 64.1 mill compared to NOK 14.2 mill for 2011. The securities portfolio contributed with NOK 0.8 mill, compared to a loss of NOK 32.6 mill for 2011. The Board propose a dividend of NOK 0.5 per share. Introduction The positive trend in the freight market from the second and third quarter with high LPG export volume from the Middle East to Asia came to a stop in the fourth quarter, mainly on maintenance in Qatar and increased internal LPG usage in Saudi Arabia. The market in the West remained tight with high export volume out of the U.S., along with delays in West Africa further tying up already employed tonnage. The Ethylene market remained strong throughout the year and showed a significant improvement in volumes and rates in the second half of 2012 compared to the first half. Main reason was high export volumes from contract customers in the Middle East. On time charter basis Solvang's share of freight earnings for fourth quarter 2012 were NOK 52.1 mill compared to NOK 50.9 mill for same period in 2011, an increase of 0.2%. For the full year 2012 the freight earnings were NOK 196.9 mill, compared to NOK 174.1 mill in 2011. The Baltic Index dropped from an average of around USD 68/ton in fourth quarter 2011 to an average of around USD 44/ton in fourth quarter 2012. The average rate / ton for the full year 2012 were USD 56/ton, compared to USD 55/ton for 2011. A continued low USD/NOK exchange rate together with high bunker prices had negative impact on the results. VLGC 82k-84k cbm The Solvang Group has one 82k cbm VLGC ship, which is on time charter until August 2016 on a market based hire. The group has two additional 84k cbm VLGCs ordered at HHI Korea with delivery in the third and fourth quarter of 2013. The LPG export volume out of the Arabian Gulf is a central driver for this market, and export volumes remained high until the latter part of September on high freight volumes from Saudi Arabia, with the addition of strong export growth from Qatar, UAE and Kuwait. However, towards the end of the third quarter there was a significant reduction in volumes from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, as well as maintenance shutdown from Qatar. This resulted in several open VLGCs, which in turn put rates under pressure. The quarter ended with a Baltic Index of USD 56/ton, the equivalent of USD 800K per month, which is in line with 2011. The downward pressure continued throughout the fourth quarter and into the first quarter 2013, mainly from the maintenance stop in Qatar. Panamax VLGC 75k cbm The Solvang group has two Panamax VLGCs, one on long-term timecharter, and one on a short timecharter. Both vessels operate in the market in the West, which has been consistently stronger than the East in 2012. In addition, the Panamax VLGCs have successfully utilized the Panamax size, and have been able to differentiate with higher rates compared to the VLGC market in general. LGC 60k cbm As previously reported, the market for ships in the LGC segment has had a positive trend over the recent years. Earnings are now 40% higher on time charter basis for 2012 compared with the average for 2011. Particularly the market in the West has been tight with high ammonia activity from the Black Sea to the USA, where one of the main reasons is the 30% reduction in gas exports from Trinidad. As a consequence more long haul ammonia shipments have been available for the LGC segment, and the segment is now very tight in terms of supply and demand. The segment has as such a positive outlook for 2013. Ethylene 12-17k cbm After a weak first half of 2012 with production problems and maintenance shutdown at facilities of our COA customers, as well as sanctions against Iran, the third and fourth quarter has picked up considerably. The increased activity comes from higher export volumes from our COA customers, as well as an improvement in the spot market, where other ethylene-exporters have increased production to compensate for lost volumes from Iran. The full year 2012 was somewhat lower than in 2011, but still more positive than the indications given in the beginning of 2012. In the longer term, there is some concern over the high newbuilding order book within the ethylene segment. Financial Risk The Solvang group's investments in ships, which are owned through participation in ship owning companies with joint responsibility, are all USD based, and the group's revenue is all USD based. The group's risk in currency exposure is as such limited. The Solvang group's security portfolio has a book value of NOK 74.2 mill as per 31.12.2012. Solvang is responsible for the management of the portfolio, with a conservative investment strategy. The stock market improved considerably throughout the third and fourth quarter, and led to a positive value adjustment for end of 2012. General There have been no incidents with a particular impact on the financial accounts during the period. Transactions with related parties are as per the guidelines set within the code. The Group's principal broker for sale & purchase is Inge Steensland AS. There are also parallel investments done with other companies within Steensland group. All transactions are done at market terms. The Solvang Group has completed three scheduled classification dockings in 2012. In 2013 there are 10 ships due for classification dockings.

2010 Condor Celebration
NPS Photo by Paul Johnson
Saturday, September 25, 2010
Join us as we attempt to release up to two California condors for their first flight into the wild.
Bring water, hats, layered clothing, and food. Binoculars are recommended. High temperatures at the end of September can range from low 80s to above 100 degrees. There will be limited seating available, so bring camp chairs or blankets for picinic-style seating.
A live, remote video feed from the condor facility to the Visitor Center will display the young condors in the pen and the first flight of any released birds. In addition, the event will have speakers, informational and educational booths staffed by rangers and park partners, and an activity booth for children to draw and display their "condor wishes."
Because we use a passive release method, there is a chance the juvenile condors may not leave the holding pen. Even so, there will be a good chance to see already free-flying condors.
We will hold a condor celebration regardless of the weather.
Lodging is available in the area for those that do not wish to camp.

At what point do you abandon a pattern? Are there red flags that alert you that your time is better spent on another pattern?
Share your experience!
If I compare a pattern to TNT and it is way off in terms of fit I ditch it. If you can get better fit and similar details in another pattern no need to hang on! I now recycle patterns that do not work for me. If there is a detail I like like a pocket I may save only that piece and sometimes just the illustration.
I think that if you are asking yourself these questions, you have reached that point. Unless the pattern is so unique that you can't possibly find one that will produce a similar result, it's time to cut your losses and move on.

There was a mom on our local news channel this morning talking about her 5 year old daughter with Sensory Processing Disorder. This is what the pediatrician thought Thomas may have. I've sent her a message on facebook...I really hope she responds. It would be nice to have someone to chat with about what we're going through, that lives near me. Hopefully she can give me some pointers as well.

Hey guys i have done several mods of every kind over the years but i recently bought my last xcm case from llamma and it seems this time i cant quite get it to fit just right, the internal metal sheilding didn't sit flush so i swapped it with another one i had laying around and it fit or so i thought now the controller ports sit just a touch too high. Before i go in and sand them down i just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem so maybe i dont have to modify it anymore than i have to.

1983 Chevrolet Van • 150,000 miles
I have a 1983 chevy 20 series conversion van and am having brake issues. Blew 2 main brake lines to both rear and front right, replaced 1 and plugged other to get it home. When they are being pumped and bled, I can't get a solid pedal at all and the rear compartment of the master cylinder shoots brake fluid straight out the top but yet all brakes have fluid flowing freely to them. Any suggestions on what to try next to get the solid pedal? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Still have air in the system. It is tough to get all the air out. It may require a pressure bleeder to assist you.
We have tried that and still have nothing

You have a pressure bleeder? Not many people have that. If all the air is out of the system, then the master cylinder may have failed.
Hi I appreciate your help. Have tried new master cylinder, pressure bleeder new lines just about everything I can think of and still have no brakes. When its not running I can pump to hard pedal but the minute I start it press it once and u air and then nothing and goes to floor with no effort. Is there a way to test the vacuum booster and the black box that connects the lines together? I have worked on a lot of brakes but have never had this happen I just am at a loss. Also do you know where a guy could go to get a brake system diagram? Again I appreciate your help very much.
I still think you have air trapped in the lines. The fact that you have a pedal when off is a good indicator.
Do you get solid fluid flow out the cylinders and calipers.
Do you get solid fluid flow out the cylinders and calipers.
Yes and I may have explained the solidness or lack of lol. When off there seems to be pressure but when running there is none. In both situations tho the pedal goes to the floor.
You may need some help here. I suggest letting a shop finish this bleeding process for you as you seem to not be able to get rid of the air.

This article deals with the content contained in ECMA-376 Part 1. The 3rd edition of ECMA-376 was released in June of 2011 and can be downloaded from the following location: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm
Where can I get the presetShapeDefinitions.xml file?
What am I supposed to do with this?That's completely up to you. But here's a few ideas…
For the purposes of this blog, I will focus on the second scenario.
How do I do that?In short, any shape definition from the presetShapeDefinitions.xml file can be used within a <custGeom> (§126.96.36.199) element. Sounds easy, right? Well, it is! Here's how to do it:
Wait a second! Why are we renaming the file with a .zip extension? You may have heard that starting with Office 2007 the files that end with 'x', such as .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx are actually zip-compressed packages containing a collection of XML files. Well, you can take that at face value and rename any of those file types with a .zip extension and then open it in your un-zipper of choice and browse the contents, which is exactly what we are going to do.
When you open the file it should look exactly like it did before, but that's exactly the point. You replaced the reference to the shape with the actual definition. It's supposed to look the same.
What's the point?
Remember our 2 scenarios from the "What an I supposed to do with this" section above? Well, we've answered the first question of whether or not the definition is 'good'. If it wasn't, the shape would not have rendered correctly or you would have received an error stating something along the lines of "PowerPoint found a problem with content in MyShapeTest.pptx" when you tried to open the file.
If you're familiar with DrawingML you probably already realized that you can now modify the definition in the slide1.xml file. For those who are not familiar with DrawingML, here's something that you can change in the definition to make the moon a little more interesting.
When you open the file you should see that the inside arc has been replaced with 2 straight lines from the moon's points to the center of the shape. In step 4 we only drew the first line. The second one is drawn automatically by the <close /> element.
Refer to ECMA-376 Part 1, Chapter 14 on DrawingML for more information on how to manipulate and draw your own custom shapes.

Cosworth's Mark Gallagher casts a positive glance at the company four-team return to F1.
I agree...
At the start of the year all the talk was of how unreliable the Cossie would be with overheating being a real issue. But they certainly made a good account of themselves and I'm really pleased to see them back.
They were allowed to work on their engine all year long. And they made very good use of the time. Excellent job by Cosworth.
Well done Cosworth - this year shows the importance of a true independent component supplier to F1. (just like in the past)
Cosworth will have Renault as a direct competitor from next year.

Please give an overview of your Gold Award Project and the steps you took to complete it.
My Gold Award project focused on bringing awareness to the public and Auburn University about the issues of Parkerson Mill Creek: high fecal counts, erosion and litter. With the help of Alabama Water Watch, I evaluated erosion and bacteria at six different sites. I also presented my findings to Auburn University's Facilities Department in a report and in Google Earth. I set up informational tables at three major events in my town in order to reach the public.
How did you come up with your idea?
I had seen several newspaper articles and online articles about Parkerson Mill Creek.
Were you intimidated by the scale of the project?
Yes, at first. But, once I explained what I needed for the project to my project advisor, she helped me write a plan of tasks and objectives. That helped a lot.
How did you keep up the momentum for the project?
I like to finish anything that I start. Plus, it was a race against time since the deadline was September of 2015.
Were you ever discouraged? If so, what did you do to overcome that?
Sometimes when I made a to-do list for the project, I would feel overwhelmed. I just kept working. That is the only way to make the list smaller.
Can you tell us a little story about some part of your project that was special to you?
Probably the hardest part of the project was organizing the pictures to the right GPS coordinates for the Google Earth virtual map. One time the GPS coordinates were all wrong because I forgot to refresh the GPS. I had to go back out and redo all of the GPS coordinates.
How will people benefit from this?
Hopefully, my project will educate the citizens of Auburn on their local waterways. Mostly everyone thinks that Parkerson Mill Creek is just a drainage ditch. Many people do not realize that there are fish, turtles and other creatures that live in it.
How did you feel after you finished?
I felt like I still had to do something else.
What advice would you give to other girls considering a Gold Award?
Explain everything to your project advisor and then make an organized and detailed plan.
Your Gold Project made a change for the better in your community. Did it change you?
My project definitely exposed me to a different side of civil engineering (I plan to major in civil engineering). I got to explore the more environmental side of civil engineering. Maybe I will do something with erosion and water quality in the future.
