Discover the neighborhoods of Boracay Island
Boracay Island
Located two kilometers off Panay Island in the Philippines, Boracay Island is a rather small piece of land, but it offers big opportunities for leisure travelers seeking a genuinely tranquil escape to paradise. Four miles long and half a mile wide, this gem boasts some of the world's best beaches.
Of all the sandy sanctuaries, White Beach attracts the most visitors. Its geographic location creates a very attractive environment highlighted by the still, clear waters of the ocean. Across the island is Bulabog Beach, an area more popular for its windsurfing and kiteboarding. Several other beaches are also offering up their tropical and relaxed atmosphere. Chartered boats can take visitors to visit secluded coves and beaches, and snorkeling and diving are top activities.
Several Boracay Island hotels can be reached within a short walk from Boat Station 1 and Boat Station 2. The city's Beachfront Path also offers a wide selection of resorts and hotels. Caticlan Airport is an important hub for tourists from Manila, and it's only a few minutes' walk or tricycle ride to the pier.
Find the most suitable accommodation for you by clicking on our interactive map and exploring Boracay Island for hotels and must-see destinations.

The British government claimed on Friday that last year's Olympic Games in London gave the economy a massive boost, even while acknowledging that some of the investment might have happened anyway.
An official report said the Games had brought £9.9 billion (11.5 billion euros, $15 billion) to the British economy, more than the £8.92 billion cost of staging the event.
But analysts questioned some of the projects included in the study, including a £1 billion planned shopping centre in Croydon, south London -- miles from the Olympic site.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said the report was compiled by asking the companies making investments whether they would have spent their money without the Games.
"The answer we've had with a lot of the high-profile investment -- like the Malaysians in Battersea Power Station -- is that a lot of the key negotiations and support came out of the events that we organised around the Olympics," he told BBC radio.
"Would this have happened anyway? Some of these activities clearly would, but the Olympics were a key catalyst in making those investment decisions real."
Cable said he had personally been sceptical about the Games before Britain won the bid, warning that it would be "a big cost and there would be no benefit".
But he said ministers had put in "an enormous amount of effort" to attract investment around the Olympics.
The Olympics and Paralympics last summer were viewed as a huge success in Britain, passing off without any major problems, netting the hosts 29 gold medals and even coming in slightly under budget.
But the government has always stressed the importance of the economic and sporting legacy, and the report claims progress on at least the first of these is going well.
The £9.9 billion boost to the economy comes from businesses securing new contracts, additional sales and new foreign investment in the last year, the government said.
As well as the shopping centre, this includes the £1.2 billion regeneration of London's Royal Albert Docks by a Chinese developer, and the redevelopment of the landmark Battersea Power Station on the River Thames by a Malaysian consortium.
-- 'Tenuous claims' --
Samuel Tombs, economist at Capital Economics, said the report "seems to make some tenuous claims".
"It's hard to believe that the Games were the decisive factor in many of the business deals discussed in the report," he told AFP, adding that the money spent on the event would have been better invested elsewhere.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson insisted, however: "London is succeeding where virtually no other host city has, on track to secure a solid gold payback on the taxpayers' outlay."
The government says that 58 percent of the investment from the Games had gone into areas of Britain outside London, although some business leaders questioned this.
"Out in the regions, we found that the effect of the Olympics and Paralympics and the contracts we were expecting really didn't materialise as much as I suspect many people were hoping for," said Mike Cherry, national policy chairman for the Federation of Small Businesses.
Howard Archer, chief European and UK economist at IHS Global Insight consultancy, said it was always hard to put a figure on economic benefits from an event like the Olympics.
"There is always the possibility that some of the investment/business deals that were brokered would eventually have been won anyway even if the Olympics did significantly help matters," he told AFP.
"However, I think the fact that the Olympics were so well staged and were such a success did reflect very well on the UK and boosted our reputation for efficiency and as a country for doing business."
The question of whether the Games have inspired Britons to take up sport is less clear.
A recent survey by Sport England, cited in Friday's report, found an extra 1.4 million are playing sport at least once a week than before Britain won its bid in 2005.
But it also found that 52.3 percent of British adults still play no sport at all.

WASHINGTON – A man who has studied lions in their natural habitats has released a video making the 400-pound animals look more like loving house cats.
Kevin Richardson, a South African zoologist, has conducted extensive research on the native animals of the African plains. He released a video where he approaches lions in the South African Savanna only to have them greet him with hugs.
Watch the video below:
Richardson, also known as "The Lion Whisperer," studied the animals in an effort to draw awareness to the problems facing the wild life in Africa, he says in the video.
Richardson used GoPro cameras to capture his up-close relationship with the animals, which includes petting them, laying with them and hugging them.

Chicago is a better alternative!
Rock Island Clean Line (RICL) promoted Chicago Roosevelt University Ecology Club to travel a hundred miles to read statements about wind energy at the September 2013 Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) forum in Mendota. RICL, a 500-mile HVDC transmission line, hopes to obtain ICC permission to transport Great Plains wind energy to Illinois PJM station. The primary purpose of the Mendota meeting was for the farmers, the ones most impacted, to have a voice.

Production of the project has been going for a long time since sometime around 2007. I worked on it as an on/off project. I did a Doom 2 compile attempt about 5 year's ago, been trying to make Doom 1/2 mods that compile levels for each game.
This is all of episode 1 of Doom 1 compiled, recommended use in Zdemon or something similar.
This hasn't been properly tested in the old Doom.exe since the old Doom.exe isn't compatible with my PC but is had worked with Zdoom and Zandronum for me, similar engine's. Also the project is built using the Doom Builder 2 engine. If you want to use the file then you will need WinRar so you can extract the wad, I was going to post as Wad but Moddb doesn't allow Wad file's to be posted for some odd reason so I uploaded as a RAR file.

we are going to ill in aug for the big farm show and want to ride some trails ----we ride tandems --which trails are best and more scenic ????
I would suggest the Chicago Lakefront trail - over 20 miles of a Great Lake on one side with an impressive skyline on the other side. However, this city dude is not in tune with agricultural things, and suspects that the 'big farm show' is elsewhere in the state where there are actually farms. With a few more details about where you'll be, someone can probably provide a more focused recomendation.
Welcome to IL!! Mile after magnificent mile of corn and soybeans, with a sprinking of bike trails.

Where in Illinois is The Big Farm Show? That would help focus in on places to ride.
Hmmmmmm 200 miles wide, and over 500 miles long ---- could be a LOOOOOOOOONG ride.... Lots of nice trails in IL, if you know where.....
Larry h, are you talking about Bloomington in Aug. or Decatur the 1st weekend of Sept.?
the farm progress show in rantoul in aug but we will be in aouthern ill for 3 days prior to the 27th
http://www.bikelib.org/mapstrails/trailslist.htm - check out the Tunnel Hill trail: http://www.bikelib.org/mapstrails/tunnelhill.htm (45 miles long, crushed limestone surface).
As you wander north, consider a stop in Arthur, IL, an Amish/Mennonite community. Lots of quiet roads with slow speed traffic.
Champaign seems to have a bunch of trails if you want to tour a college town....
There are other newer trails, but many sources on the internet seem to be out-of-date by 5 years and more.

Good resource for gluten-free vegan
A great find for those who eat both gluten-free and vegan. My three favorite recipes out of here are the Spicy Goulash, the Stroganoff (which I highly recommend adding tempeh to), and the Deli-Style Chickpea Salad, which I like to serve with green leaf lettuce in a brown rice tortilla wrap. The Banana Bread Scones taste pretty good, though they are very dry (they are scones, after all), and taste great with a little nondairy margarine smeared on them.

Man. When I was around 4 or 5 when I sttraed playing games. I don't remember how good I was, but I sttraed with the Sonic the Hedgehog series. I think I'd gotten like.. relatively decent by the time I was 9 or so- but I guess I have a sort of inclination towards dexterous work. (I also play two musical instruments and really enjoy typing). Maybe give him a nice 2 dimensional game? it'd probably be easier to figure out. Sonic Generations will have a 2D mode about it, but that's coming out for Ps3 and Xbox 360. You may look into grabbing one at some point, though, so I linked the game anyway.

Cereal Philanderer is a weekly feature in which Jason Sheehan talks about cereal more than he probably should.
Don't let the bowtie fool you. The bird is fucking crazy.
Cereal du Jour: Cocoa Puffs, favorite cereal of unmedicated psychotics. And birds. Big, stupid, loud-mouthed birds.
History: In 1937, General Mills thought they had a winner with Kix: the world's first extruded and expanded pulverized-grain cereal. As a matter of fact, that was the extent of the initial Kix advertising campaign: "Kix cereal: Industrially pulverized, machine-extruded, and with that wholesome machine-oil taste that means progress!"
General Mills hung a lot of hopes on Kix, figuring that no child alive wouldn't be impressed by the clank and clatter of heavy machinery involved in the production of what was essentially a round and tasteless breakfast nugget. I mean all children love extruding dies and pneumatic chaff separators, right?
Right?Wrong. What children are impressed by is paralyzing amounts of sugar, bright colors, and loud mascots with no respect for their elders and betters. Kix had none of this. But no one at General Mills really thought about any of this until they'd already produced several million metric tons of pulverized, extruded, and puffed-grain cereal spheres, at which point they found themselves in what is referred to in the cereal trade as "another goddamn Corn Flakes kinda situation." They had to come up with a way to move all these wheat testicles, and fast.
This was how Cocoa Puffs were born--out of desperation and the terrible need to realize a profit on silos full of grain balls that no child in America wanted to eat because they weren't neon-colored and didn't come with prizes.
The General Mills marketing geniuses tried many things (some of which we will talk about in coming weeks), but in 1958, they hit on their best solution, which was basically to turn all the little breakfast orbs into candy. Following the Cathy Guisewite Principle, they took all the Kix that no one was eating, shot it up with chocolate (because people will eat anything so long as there's chocolate in it), and rebranded them as Cocoa Puffs. Along with the help of Sonny, a shit-talking cuckoo bird with ADD, addictive tendencies, and severe mental problems, Cocoa Puffs became one of America's favorite methods for guiltlessly eating chocolate for breakfast.
The Box: The Cocoa Puffs box almost always features an altered-perspective image of a giant bowl of Cocoa Puffs with the cereal sloshing over the rim, presumably because no mere ceramic vessel could ever contain all its delicious awesomeness. In the background, there will be Sonny, doing something active like skateboarding or parachuting--things which no mentally unstable bird would ever be allowed to do in the real world, even when on a day pass from whatever full-lockdown facility he is currently residing in.
In television commercials, Sonny's catchphrase is "I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!" It is generally delivered in a screeching, crazy, pubescent shriek when it becomes apparent that he cannot go one more second without a hit of his favorite cereal. It's basically the same kind of behavior exhibited by cranked-out meth-heads, and if you've ever known a psychotic with serious substance-abuse issues, you know for sure that Sonny is exactly the kind of bird that will break into your house, steal your PS3, and pawn it for money to buy another box the minute his supply starts to run low. I wouldn't turn my back on that bird for one second. That sonofabitch would shank you for the change in your pockets in a second if he was a buck short and headed out to the Piggly Wiggly to score.
The Product: Don't delude yourself. You're eating chocolate for breakfast. You might just as well pour some milk over a bowl full of Hershey's kisses and crumbled-up Kit Kat bars.
But hey, if that's your thing (and I am in no position to judge one's choice of breakfast foods, what with my breakfast beers and bacon addiction), then Cocoa Puffs taste pretty good. The only trouble? They're not quite chocolatey enough these days--a situation easily remedied by dousing them in chocolate milk rather than the normal white stuff, or by topping the bowl with a squeeze of chocolate syrup.
Best Feature: Less completely wrong, breakfast-wise, than just eating fudge right out of the box with your fingers, you fat, waddling bastard.
Worst Feature: Sonny the cuckoo bird is just one bad day away from winding up on the 11 o'clock news with blood on his beak and a bus full of hostages.
Fun Fact for Hipsters: Sonny was originally voiced by Larry Kenney, who also did the voice of Lion-O on Thundercats. Thunder...Thunder...Thundercats, ho!
Is It Better or Worse Than Apple Jacks?: Worse in almost every conceivable way, but will kill that middle-of-the-night chocolate craving when no other actual cocoa-based foods are available.

Well, after: (a) watching today's intros -- which, with the melodramatic baritone-voiced announcer; the crowd's signs, jockish garb, and raucous cheers and boos; and the partisan "teams" entering the staging area together, felt like a vintage Celtics-Lakers playoff game; (b) hearing that the National Basketball Association is willing to foot the tab for construction of a full court at the White House; and (c) the appointment elite collegiate hoopers like Arne Duncan and Reggie Love to key administration positions, I don't think it's any stretch to anoint Barack Hussein Obama the NBA President. And today, he was faaaantastic!

It turns out that Jay Inslee messed things up even more than originally thought when he resigned from Congress in order to campaign full-time for governor. Contrary to the impression left by reporting at the time, the state will hold a special election to fill his seat, but in about as confusing a way as you could possibly imagine.
Worse, Inslee's former district is the 1st, which has been redrawn. So voters from the old 1st District will elect the temporary representative, while voters from the new 1st District will elect the representative who will take over in January. At the exact same time.
Even Governor Chis Gregoire, like Inslee a Democrat, acknowledged this recipe for confusion as she announced the special election on Monday.
It took the governor and Secretary of State some time to figure out how to proceed after Inslee stepped down from his Congressional seat in March. At first, Secretary of State spokesperson David Ammons tells SW, officials looked to a state law that triggered a special election if a Congressperson's resignation would leave a vacancy of greater than eight months. That's probably why The Seattle Times initially reported that Inslee resigned just days after the cutoff date for a special election.
And it's true, that cutoff date--in Inslee's case March 6-- would have changed things. Ammons says the state would have been required to hold a special election much earlier, likely sometime in the summer.
When Inslee resigned after that date, Ammons says his office assumed it was then the Secretary of State's call as to whether a special election would be held. But then they found out that the U.S. Constitution mandates that the governor call an election to fill a Congressional vacancy.
Extensive consultation with the U.S. House then told state officials that the special election would have to be from the old 1st district; the House said it would refuse to seat someone elected from the new.
The remaining question was when the election should be held. In further testament to the confusion wrought by the whole thing, there still isn't clarity about how much wiggle room the governor had as to timing.
In an interview with SW, Gregoire spokesperson Cory Curtis says that the governor could have called the special election for earlier, but chose not to. "Cost is a big factor," he explained, saying it's cheaper to hold the special and regular elections simultaneously. Ammons, in contrast, says that a state law dictates that a special election called to fill vacancies shorter than eight months be held in tandem with the regular election.
Either way, the outcome means that the state will remain one representative short for eight months, something that Inslee could have avoided had he stayed in office until the end of his term.
Gregoire put the best face on that, saying that the most critical votes for the state (including one on renewing a federal income tax deduction for state sales taxes) will occur in December. But as SW and others have pointed out, there are other issues--including President Obama's Jobs Act and withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan--that Congress is likely to take up before then.

Taylor Momsen Caught Smoking, Not Acting 17 (PHOTOS)Lulu and Moxleys Mom
Gossip Girl and member of the band The Pretty Reckless Taylor Momsen was spotted smoking and looking a mite older than 17 in Paris recently — and I can't help but wonder if anyone is supervising her. She's known for making racy (okay, x-rated) comments and on her Twitter page she discusses liking a "nice glass of wine." (Who says that in their teens??) Momsen started acting at age 3 and was in the running for the Hannah Montana role that Miley Cyrus snagged. Check out more photos next — would you let your 17-year-old dress like this? At one point she was a fresh-face beauty. If she's not careful she's going to wind up looking like Dee Snyder…

May 3, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Falcons have re-signed quarterback Chris Redman, who finished the 2007 season as the starter.
Redman signed a two-year deal with the team today.
The Falcons also have quarterbacks Joey Harrington and D.J. Shockley under contract.
Redman was the team's third starting quarterback as the Falcons struggled to replace Mike Vick.
Following Harrington and Byron Leftwich as starters, Redman started the final four games last season and was named NFC offensive player of the week after passing for four touchdowns and 251 yards against Seattle in the final game of the season.
For the season, Redman completed 89 of 149 passes for 1,079 yards with 10 touchdowns.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Reggie Jackson, a night to remember
The most interesting thing said in the Thunder locker room after the 92-89 overtime victory at Memphis in Game 4 came from Caron Butler.
"When I thought about coming here, I looked at the personnel, and I just said this is a great situation," Butler said. "A team that's on the cusp of doing something special and he (Reggie Jackson) was one of the reasons; a young talented guy that's coming off the bench and assertive in the lineup and not missing a beat. Russell (Westbrook) was down early in the season. He (Jackson) played great and I knew that his moment would come. He was ready for his moment."
Jackson most certainly was. His performance was a sight to behold: 32 points in 37 minutes, in a 92-89 overtime victory. You can do a lot with Jackson's numbers:
* Jackson scored more points than Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined (30), and made as many baskets (11) as Durant and Westbrook combined, taking 29 fewer shots.
* Jackson used 24 possessions (shots, pairs of foul shots and turnovers) to get his 32 points. Westbrook and Durant used 61 possessions combined to get their 30 points total – Westbrook 32, Durant 29.
* Jackson made 11 of 16 shots. The only other player in the game who shot more than twice and made at least 43 percent of his shots was Serge Ibaka (six of 11).
* The Thunder as a team shot 36.7 percent from the field. Take out Jackson, and the Thunder made just 22 of 74 (29.7 percent).
* Beno Udrih has rightly deserved praise for his play in this series. He's been the difference in Memphis hanging around. Udrih has 35 points in the four games combined. Jackson had 32 points in Game 4 alone.
* Jackson led the Thunder in scoring twice this season – he scored 27 at Boston and 27 at San Antonio, both in January. Serge Ibaka led the Thunder twice. Butler and Jeremy Lamb each led OKC once. The other 76 games, the Thunder was led by either Durant or Westbrook.
"He was very aggressive and made some shots and got going," Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. "My hat's off to him. He did a great job of being in attack mode, not settling, and really trying to get to the rim."
Joerger said, "I think both teams' 'big three' kind of cancelled each other out. Both teams are concentrating on the other teams big three and the complementary players made a difference. Reggie Jackson was tremendous as we know that he can be. He got all the way to the rim too many times. I thought he was really good tonight and probably the difference in the game."
In case you're wondering, Memphis' big three is Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Mike Conley. That trio actually got the better of OKC's big three.
Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka: 42 points on 17 of 56 shooting.
Memphis' big three: 48 points on 20 of 51 shooting.
When the Thunder stars produce like that, OKC almost always is sunk. So Joerger was right. Jackson saved the Thunder.
Here is more on a memorable Game 4:
You know me. I love the plus/minus numbers. How did your team do while you were on the court. And there were some interesting plus/minus numbers from Game 4.
Jackson? Plus two. What? You thought I was going to say plus 26, like that Derek Fisher number from Houston Game 6 last spring? For all of Jackson's offense, the Thunder played barely above even with Jackson on the court.
The best plus/minus? Nick Collison, plus six. Collison only played 11:15, but the Thunder played well with him on the court. Collison sank a first-quarter 3-pointer, but his best stretch came late third quarter, when he entered the game and helped OKC extend a 52-45 lead to 62-50.
Kevin Durant: even. Which is not surprising. When you play virtually all the game (Durant played 49:17 of the possible 53 minutes), you're not going to be much off the final score.
Russell Westbrook: plus five. For all of Westbrook's idiosyncrasies, the Thunder plays better with him than without him.
Kendrick Perkins: plus three. Perk's value in this series has been supreme.
Caron Butler: minus seven. The only Thunder in minus. Butler was on the court during Memphis' big fourth-qaurter run.
Zach Randolph: minus 14. In the same way that Durant will be glad when Tony Allen is in his rearview mirror, the same is true of Randolph in regards to Perkins.
Beno Udrih: plus nine. The Grizzlies made their big fourth-quarter run with Udrih on the floor.
Here are the series plus/minus numbers for the Thunder:
Serge Ibaka +14
Derek Fisher +10
Russell Westbrook +9
Nick Collison +6
Thabo Sefolosha +4
Steven Adams +4
Kendrick Perkins +4
Kevin Durant +2
Nick Collison even
Perry Jones even
Jeremy Lamb -1
Hasheem Thabeet -2
Caron Butler -5
And the Memphis plus/minus numbers:
Beno Udrih +10
Tony Allen +10
Kosta Koufos +5
Jon Leuer +1
Mike Miller -2
Courtney Lee -4
Ed Davis -5
Mike Conley -8
Tayshaun Prince -8
James Johnson -9
Zach Randolph -10
Marc Gasol -20
Ibaka is having a heck of a series. He's averaging 14.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.8 blocked shots and shooting
58.5 percent from the field. Only three other players have shot at least 50 percent – Perkins (66.7; 6-of-9), Udrih (58.3, 14 of 24) and Allen (51.1, 23 of 45).
The Thunder played excellent defense against Memphis – just not for most of the fourth quarter. Before the fourth quarter, only once did the Grizzlies score on three straight possessions. And rarely did Memphis even score on two straight possessions.
Then came the fourth quarter. Memphis scored on five of six possessions to trim a 52-65 deficit to 65-69. Then after the Thunder got two straight stops, the Grizzlies scored on six straight possessions to turn a 65-71 deficit into a 78-75 lead.
What happened during that stretch?
The Grizzlies did all their damage with a lineup of point guards Udrih and Mike Conley, wings Tony Allen and Mike Miller, and center Marc Gasol.
The first spree started against Thunder defenders Durant, Butler, Derek Fisher, Jackson and Ibaka. After three straight Memphis scores, Conley missed a 3-point shot, and Westbrook replaced Fisher. Those 13 Grizzly points came from two Udrih 3-pointers, a Conley 3-pointer, a Conley drive and Allen's 3-point play off a putback. Clearly, the Memphis point guards were starting to find a rhythm. Yet Scotty Brooks stayed with his lineup and didn't bring in defensive stopper Thabo Sefolosha.
Memphis' six-straight possession spurt came from a muscle shot by Allen in the paint, a Conley drive, a Miller 3-pointer, an Allen follow, two Conley foul shots and an Allen 17-foot jumper.
So it wasn't the Memphis big men doing the damage.
I can understand Brooks' decision. The Thunder was struggling so much on offense, he wanted to try five offensive-minded players. When Durant, Westbrook and Jackson are on the floor together, opposing coaches have some tough decisions to make.
Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger had Beno Udrih guarding Jackson most of the fourth quarter. Mike Conley dogged Westbrook and Allen stayed on Durant.
But what exactly was Butler doing? He clearly wasn't much of the offensive flow and wasn't even serving as a decoy. Better to get Thabo in the game to match up with Conley.
Durant, Westbrook and Jackson played together for 25:05 and outscored Memphis 45-43. The rest of the game's 27:55, OKC outscored the Grizzlies 45-42. So there's a defensive tradeoff.
Marc Gasol looked unstoppable early. Brooks was scrambling with his rotation. He benched Serge Ibaka for awhile, after Gasol's hot start (10 first-quarter points), meaning Nick Collison guarded Zach Randolph and Perkins switched over to Gasol.
Brooks tried Steven Adams, but that led to quick fouls. Gasol was on target with those rainmaking jumpers.
But eventually, the Thunder wore down Gasol, who missed seven of his last eight shots to finish 10-of-21, with 23 points.
Meanwhile, Randolph's frustrations continued. He made just five of 14 shots and didn't play for 121/2 straight minutes, from late third quarter to late fourth quarter.
In four games of this series, Randolph has made just 27 of 75 shots. He's needed 98 possessions to score his 73 points.
Kendrick Perkins, take a bow.
The Thunder has scored less and less as this series progresses: 100 points in Game 1, 99 in regulation of Game 2, 85 in regulation of Game 3, 80 in regulation of Game 4.
Durant is trending down, too: 13-of-25 in Game 1, 12-of-28 in Game 2, 10-of-27 in Game 3, 5-of-21 in Game 4.
Westbrook, too: 8-of-19, 11-of-28, 9-of-26, 6-of-24.
The Thunder won the games in which its dynamic duo shot the best and shot the poorest. Go figure.
"I tell them all the time, if you only think you can impact a game scoring, we're not going to be successful," Brooks said of Durant and Westbrook. "Kevin had 13 rebounds and Russell had 10 rebounds. They had seven and four assists. You impact the game many, many, many different ways. We're built on defense; we're built on teamwork. We haven't made shots in three games. Sometimes that happens. Unfortunately, that's happening to us now. Like I said, the last couple of games we just have to continue to figure out how to make the basketball move. I thought our ball movement was great in the first half and even in the second half. KD got great looks. It was one of those nights when the ball was bouncing in and out."
If anyone ever wonders who's in charge of the Grizzlies, rest easy. It's point guard Mike Conley.
Conley didn't play well in Game 4. But in overtime, there was no question who the Grizzlies relied on. After Jackson gave OKC an 86-85 lead with 1:59 left, Memphis had five more possessions.
All were Conley shots.
1. An 11-foot fallaway jumper that swished and gave Memphis its last lead.
2. A Conley drive that bounced off, with OKC up 88-87.
3. A 14-foot jumper that bounced off.
4. A Conley layup that the Thunder conceded, protecting a three-point lead with 3.8 seconds left.
5. A desperation 3-point with Jackson well-contesting at the buzzer.
Conley is 2-of-20 from 3-point range in this series. Coaches don't let non-team leaders shoot that much. See Durant (9-of-34) and Westbrook (6-of-31).
"We had our chances," Conley said. "We held two of their best scorers to where we want them to be. We just couldn't stop Reggie Jackson from making plays at the end of the game. We had opportunities. We had good looks at the end of the game. We got turnovers, we got stops. We just gave up too many offensive rebounds, too many extra possessions."
The Grizzlies outscored the Thunder 15-12 in second-chance points. Neither figure is high considering the Thunder had 20 offensive rebounds and the Grizzlies 18.
Ibaka and Westbrook each had five offensive rebounds. Which seems like a lot until you realize Tony Allen had 10.
Westbrook and Ibaka each have 12 for the series, and Perkins has 10. But Allen has 17 and Randolph 15.
Still, Westbrook was phenomenal, flying around for teammates' missed shots. Or his own. The game-winning points – the points that put OKC ahead for good – came off an offensive rebound. Jackson missed a 15-footer, Westbrook skied for the rebound and eventually got the ball to Durant, who was fouled. Durant sank both foul shots to give the Thunder an 88-87 lead.
"Those guys were the aggressors tonight," Allen said. "They won the majority of the 50-50 balls. They played like they wanted it more. They beat us in the rebounding game. Having that many offensive rebounds gives them extra possessions. It was huge."
The Thunder and Grizzlies both had taken care of the ball through three games.
Not so Saturday night. Each team scored 15 points off turnovers. OKC committed 21, Memphis 13.
Durant and Westbrook combined for 12.
But at least the Thunder made the Grizzlies pay more – OKC got its transition game going, outscoring Memphis 15-10 in fast-break points.
"We turned the ball over at inopportune times," Joerger said. "We did not convert enough on their turnovers. I do not anticipate that they will turn it over 21 times again."

A new poll shows voters are beginning to again support U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez as more information emerges about an ethics controversy involving a major campaign contributor, who allegedly supplied him with prostitutes.
But voters are still questioning whether to trust Menendez and most don't believe his claim that the attacks are politically motivated.
The Quinnipiac University Poll released today was conducted after police in the Dominican Republican announced last week that they investigated the Hudson County Democrat's alleged trysts with prostitutes and discovered the women were paid to lie. Menendez has called on United States authorities to find out who was behind the "smear campaign."
The senator faces investigations by the Senate's Ethics Committee, the U.S. Justice Department and a federal grand jury in Florida, according to published reports. But the Dominican police reports cast doubt on allegations that a top donor supplied Menendez with prostitutes.
Menendez is under investigation after accepting two free flights in 2010 on a private plan owned by Salomon Melgen, a campaign contributor, and for pressing federal officials on issues in which Melgen had a financial stake. Menendez recently paid Melgen for the flights and has denied allegations of using his influence to benefit a top contributor.
The poll found 40 percent of voters approve of the job Menendez is doing while 37 do not. While Menendez' approval rating is still below the 51 percent he had in January, it has risen from last month. In February, when the scandal was making media headlines, only 36 percent of voters said they approved of the job Menendez was doing, while 41 percent said they did not.
Voters are divided with 35 percent saying Menendez is "honest and trustworthy," 36 percent saying he is not and 29 percent saying they are undecided, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll released today. That's still an improvement over last month when only 28 percent of voters said he was "honest and trustworthy" and 44 percent said he was not.
"The fall-out from those scandal stories has wounded Sen. Robert Menendez, but it looks like he has stopped the bleeding and even recovered a little," Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute said in the statement. "A substantial number of voters say the attacks are 'just politics,' but a majority thinks the allegations should be investigated."
Of the voters surveyed, 53 percent said the allegations are worth investigating, while 30 percent say the controversy is politically motivated. Last month's poll found only 23 percent of respondents believed the accusations were politically motivated, while 60 percent wanted an investigation.
The poll surveyed 1,129 registered voters from March 19 to 24 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percent.

Has anyone ever seen a chain guard on a bike with a front derailer?
I'm wondering if they are made/sold. I doubt it.

I take it your pant legs are catching in the cogs? This is what I do. I just take a few rubber bands and put them on my wrist and when I'm riding wiht long pants on I just gently fold the bottom pant leg and put a rubber band on the leg and repeat on the other leg. I've not noticed much or any creasing on the pant cuffs. I too am very interested in a bike chain guard for a MTB.
Yes, they are made. My wife has one on her Cross Check commuter. There is a cutout for the FD. I have no idea where you can find one as I bought it in Latvia. Good Luck.
BTW, it's a complete pain in the ass when it comes to drive train cleaning. The damn thing is in the way....
They are hard as hell to find in the U.S.
I've seen them at Bicycle South in Atlanta, their website is down at the moment.
Full length chainguards are a std fitting on 3x8 speed city/hybrid style bikes in NW Europe. They are almost impossibly to buy separately esp in US. You can get chainring guards.
Trouser clips are quick and convenient way to protect your pant legs.
Well, if anyone can find one, please share the source. I removed the FD on my old commuter since I always kept it in the middle ring anyway and bought a cheap chainguard (WALD) from my LBS. However I never could get it to line up correctly. I'm leaving the FD on the MTB commuter I'm building now and had pretty much resigned myself to the idea that I wouldn't use a chainguard. I'd really like to see one with the FD cutout that you mentioned, Ziemas. Could you post a pic of the Cross Check?
I would check Cannondale. The STREET line they have offers several different types of fenders including a completed "incapsulated' chain that may fit a mountain bike frame.
It's not a new idea. This one is about 35 years old:Originally Posted by Rooprect
Sometimes I think it's more trouble than it's worth. One millimeter one way or the other and either the crank arm hits it or it interferes with the front derailer. I have to be very careful not to bump it with my shoe. I just have it on there to be different.
I would love to add a chainring guard to my Trek 7500fx. I'm not worried about getting stuck in the rings while riding, I want a guard so I can have a fighting chance of keeping the grease off my legs/pants/shirt/hands when carrying the bike or locking it up. I've done a fair bit of searching and frankly have just about given up on finding one sold separately. Does anyone have any linkage on where to get a chainring guard?Originally Posted by MichaelW
me too. whenever I ask at a bike store if they sell something like that they look at me like I have two heads and tell me to buy a clip to put on my pants.
Why are bike manufactures so out of touch with stuff like this?
Originally Posted by Dirtdrop
That's what I've been thinking looking at the photo... I have a Japanese guard out of two pieces, one mounting onto the downtube and one onto the seat tube. A gap is left in-between for the derailleur. Moving the rear piece, the gap size can be regulated. To preclude staining or getting the leg of my pants caught in the gap, I ran a velcro on top joing the two guard pieces. That is fairly convenient because I can take a peek and do derailleur adjustments with no need to remove the guard.

That's a Cape Island boat! Where was this picture taken? In the Bay of Fundy? Or St Mary's Bay maybe?
This was shot at the Bay of Fundy, beautiful location.
I fished all my life in the Bay of Fundy. I was a fisherman for more than 30 years. I live in the Rockies now. I was from Dipper Harbor/Maces Bay area but fished and stayed in harbors from one end of the bay to the other on both sides. Including Grand Man, Deer and Campobello Islands and St Mary's Bay too.
Wow that is kind of a big ,move from the east coast to the west, both are really very beautiful, I have not yet visited the the Rockies, maybe one day. Then I can shoot some photos as good as yours ( wishful thinking)
thanks again Carl.
thanks again Carl.
nice shoot

Foster + Partners Unveil Solar World Cup Stadium for Qatar
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On October 6, 2010 @ 6:56 pm In Architecture,Green Building | 1 Comment
Qatar is bidding to host the World Cup in 2022 [2], and now they've got Foster + Partners [3] backing them up with a stunning energy-efficient world-class football stadium [4]. The Lusail Iconic Stadium [5] was revealed today at the Leaders in Football [6] conference in London, and it will be large enough to seat over 86,000 spectators. Built specifically for the extreme summer conditions of the capital city Doha, the stadium will be stay cool in the hot, hot heat and also generate solar power [7] from the parking lot canopies surrounding the stadium.
Foster + Partners' stadium adds a big name to Qatar's bid for the World Cup in 2022. The country is currently competing against eight other bids for the 2018 and 2022 games [9], including Australia, South Korea, the United States, England, Japan, Russia, Spain and Portugal, and Belgium and The Netherlands. F+P project has been designed as the main stadium for Doha, the Capital of Qatar, and it would be used for the opening ceremonies and opening games as well as the final matches. The stadium is characterized by a saddle-shaped roof that appears to float above the concrete seating bowl with a retractable canopy that can fully open or close. A reflective pool of water encircles the entire stadium and spectators must cross a moat to reach the eco stadium [10].
The Lusail Iconic Stadium will provide optimum views for all spectators in a cool and comfortable setting regulated by environmentally friendly cooling technologies. Located in a new development in the north of Doha, the stadium will be accessed by a new metro line and direct roads, which are expected to spur the growth of the area. Solar panels will be installed on canopies over parking and service areas in order to generate renewable energy for the stadium [2] when it's in use, and they will power the surrounding neighborhood when there are no games.

The Ram pottery operated from 1935 until 1945, and during that time produced some of the highest quality blue and white Delftware.

As an avid collector and reader of cookbooks, I closely follow which books garnish esteemed awards like those from the James Beard Foundation and IACP. In the last couple of years, there's been a new award race to follow--Piglet, the tournament of cookbooks by Food52.com. Last week, the bracket-style contest concluded with a 2012 winner. The Art of Living According to Joe Beef was named the winner in a controversial ruling by Alice Waters.
Joe Beef, located in Montreal, is one of Canada's most popular restaurants. And after just a few weeks with this book, I'm ready to pack my bags and head there for a visit. In the meantime, the hearty and rustic recipes and photos for dishes such as foie gras parfait with Madeira jelly, ricotta gnocchi, lamb chops wrapped in caul fat, and a centerfold of Scandinavian-style open face sandwiches will have to sustain me.
But The Art of Living According to Joe Beef is more than just a cookbook. It's a story of how three friends opened the restaurant they wanted to work in and cook in. Throughout the book are stories such as the history of Montreal, the Canadian railroad dining car tradition, how to build a smokehouse, and turning a backyard dump heap into a thriving garden. And there's the story of the original "Joe Beef," a notorious barkeep and union organizer who ruled Montreal's waterfront in the late 1800s.
These stories are interwoven between chapters on booze, seafood dishes, desserts, and putting the "beef" in Joe Beef. It's a meaty cookbook, literally and figuratively. There is nothing light or healthy about the recipes in this book, but they are rich, comforting and rewarding. There are the classic French dishes like oeufs en pot and a filet de boeuf, and more contemporary recipes such as chicken skin tacos, squid stuffed with lobster, and a cocktail called Gin 'N' Jews, made with Manischewitz, gin, lemon juice, and an egg white. This book has sophistication and a sense of humor.
The recipes are written with both imperial and metric measurements, a concession for Joe Beef's neighbors to the south. None of the 125 recipes are terribly fussy. Some, like the ones or pork chops or cider turnips, are as simple as a hot pan and a handful of ingredients. Others like the pate en croute and deviled kidney and hanger on toast, you'll have to put in a lot more effort for finding or prepping ingredients. Your hard work is rewarded though. The recipe for beef shank stock required for several recipes is referred to as a "one-Creuset wonder." They make it sound so simple and rewarding, especially when they suggest you eat the cooked meat from the bones with pickles and mustard.

BBC iPlayer downloads arrive on Android smartphones and tablets
Available to all running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and above
THE BBC has opened up its iPlayer download feature for Android users running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and above, following the features debut on the iPhone.
This is a change for the BBC, which usually tests widely before rolling out features.
"In September I announced the launch of video downloads for our 11 most popular Android devices. Over the last seven months we have been gradually adding more models to the list of devices supported for this feature," said BBC senior product manager David Berlin.
"In response to public demand, instead of our previous policy of comprehensively testing specific devices before enabling downloads, we are now offering video downloads functionality by default to all Android devices running Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) or above."
Berlin said that this more relaxed attitude will give the video download feature to as many as 96 percent of iPlayer Android users, however, he added that rolling something out across such a large user base might lead to some issues.
"We believe that the vast majority of devices will enjoy a great video downloading experience," he added. "However, with more than five thousand different phone, phablet and tablet models able to install the BBC iPlayer Android app, there are likely to be a number of devices that exhibit bugs concerning download behaviour."
Fear not though, bold Android user, because if the BBC hears about issues it will try to resolve them. The broadcaster said that it welcomes your input.
"We can't promise that we will fix every issue that is brought to our attention (there may be device limitations that prevent us from doing so) but we will seek to address problems according to the complexity of the issue, as well as the UK popularity and the user numbers of the device itself," added Berlin. µ

Lexington man charged with stealing two vehicles in Rowan County
Published: Monday, October 1, 2012 at 2:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 1, 2012 at 2:42 p.m.
A Lexington man was arrested Saturday after deputies with the Rowan County Sheriff's Office allege he stole two vehicles, including a Mustang valued at $200,000, from a location in their county, according to arrest warrants.
Daryl Lewis Lyerly, 32, of 228 Lowe Drive, has been charged with two counts of felony breaking or entering into buildings, felony larceny and two counts of larceny of motor vehicle. He was placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $5,500 secured bond and given a court date of Tuesday in Salisbury District Court.
A detective with the Rowan County Sheriff's Office alleges Lyerly broke into a building on Mooresville Road in Salisbury twice between March 23 and April 25, according to arrest warrants. He is accused of taking a black BMW 528e valued at $2,000, a 1969 Ford 429 Boss Mustang worth $200,000 and three Chrysler 328 cubic-inch V-8 engines valued at $3,000. The warrants for Lyerly's arrest were issued Friday.
Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff's Office said Monday afternoon that his department began investigating April 24 the break-in at a building on N.C. Highway 150 (also known as Mooresville Road) that involved the larceny of five vehicles. Monday afternoon, it was unclear the status of the other three vehicles and if Lyerly will face additional charges.
The department's Criminal Investigation Division began investigating the case and obtained a lead that the Mustang was hidden in Davidson County, according to a Rowan County Sheriff's Office news release. With the assistance of Davidson County deputies, Rowan County deputies went to a storage building on Haden Grove Church Road in Linwood. Investigators found the 1969 Mustang hidden in the building.
The victim said he was glad to have his cars back but declined an interview with The Dispatch on Monday afternoon.
Lyerly also was charged with failure to appear for speeding and expired registration in Randolph County. Lyerly was arrested with the assistance of the Davidson County Sheriff's Office at his home, the news release stated.
