"Even though consumers have access to a multitude of devices, ranging from smartphones to tablets, toe-book readers and ultra books, the trend is that all these devices are designed to empower users to get what they want, when they want it," says Rizzo.
Gone are the days of 'speeds and feeds' when users wanted the fastest processors or the best graphics card. Today, users care about how the device enables them to digitally interact with one another and generate and consume content.
In many ways, consumer convergence has leapfrogged that of the business environment and is forcing organisations to re-evaluate their business models to adapt to the challenges of the always-connected world.
The converged lifestyle
KPMG recently published The Converged Lifestyle: Consumers and Convergence 5. In the report, the Firm examined consumer preferences and biases to identify the most critical trends for organisations that want to understand what the converged lifestyle is all about.
"The converged lifestyle sees two key trends. Firstly, with users having all the devices they need to connect and interact with technology, they feel that their suppliers need to adapt and keep up with them. Secondly, we are seeing a shift in how work and personal lives of people are being separated again," says Rizzo.
Rizzo feels that the business and personal split is becoming more clinical than in the past.
"With the rise of social media, people are using different platforms to meet specific needs. Facebook is used as a personal tool where people interact with their friends. When it comes to LinkedIn, the environment is professional with networking and business interaction the order of the day."
Organisations that succeed in this space will be the ones that consumers trust. Traditional businesses have not quite made the leap, but there are certain industries that are moving fast to embrace this new world.
Banking on change
"'Innovation' and 'fast-moving' are not two terms generally associated with the current global banking industry. In South Africa, the local banking industry is embracing social media in an era of PayPal, eBay, and the like. They are coming up with new ways of engaging with their existing client base and targeting new clients," says Rizzo.
There are many examples of how local banks are using social media platforms to interact with their customers. However, the use and application of social media data also raises a number of questions for banks that must be addressed before they can start taking advantage of this information.
Firstly, the validity of user-generated data from social media is notoriously difficult to confirm. Banks should consider the type of analysis they might need to verify the actual value of the data and whether it is representative of their customers' actual lives, demands and feedback.
With social media being increasingly adopted in the banking industry, data from these platforms will increasingly become commoditised and will diminish in value over time. Banks will need to adjust and adapt their analysis mechanisms continuously to be able to extract information that will provide a competitive advantage.
Data challenges
Banks, like any other industry, are also faced with effectively managing the sheer volume of data. In addition, this means that the data could be used in such a way as to support almost every possible scenario.
Due to its open nature, social media can easily be corrupted. Outside data could be fed in to social media channels from competitors that could not only impact brand reputation, but can also lead organisations to distrust the data in the first place.
Finally, ownership of social media data is a critical question for many industries. Given that the data resides in the public domain, banks may well wonder whether they need to own the data to properly conduct and use their analysis.
"The converged lifestyle has empowered consumers who are increasingly vocal about their preferences and demands. Businesses that are able to gauge and respond to this evolving consumer relationship will ultimately build stronger relationships and gain the critical trust of their customers," Rizzo concludes.

FOOTBALL: HARRY'S WIZARD BUY; GILLINGHAM..........1 PORTSMOUTH........3: Former England International Stamps His Class: Redknapp Delight as Merson Turns on Magic to See off Gills.(Sport)
Byline: PETER BURRINGTON
PAUL Merson's vintage display kept Pompey on top of the First Division and left the fans and managers at Priestfield singing the ex-England midfielder's praises.
Merson scored Pompey's opener and superbly set up the killer third that finally knocked the stuffing out of a Gills side battling to defend their unbeaten home record.
Pompey manager Harry Redknapp made a dozen summer signings, but the capture of Merson looks like his masterstroke.
Redknapp said: "He's a fantastic player, I'd pay money to watch him play. He's a real top performer and has been a great signing.
"He took his goal really well and his passing opens up defences. All the players like having him in the side."
Gills manager Andy Hessenthaler agreed: "At times we just couldn't pick him up. Merson's a player you should try to learn from."
Redknapp added: "To score three goals away from home is encouraging. We always look like we are going to score but we also look as though we might concede because we are very open, but that's the way we play.
"We are so attack-minded that I'm sure one of these days we're going to get a belting. But we will belt a few others on the way.
"We came in quite comfortable at half-time 2-0 up but they had nothing to lose and came on strong and had a go.
"The second half was much tougher and once it got to 2-1 the next goal was always going to be the important one. Whoever got it was going to be in the ascendancy, and we got it."
Merson weaved his magic from the start, spraying passes all over the park and peppering the home goal with an array of shots and crosses. He fired his first warning early on with a curling effort that flew past bemused Gills keeper Vince Bartram's left-hand post.
Then a pinpoint pass split the home defence and Mark Burchill slid the ball inches wide.
The inevitable happened in the 32nd minute when Mark Taylor charged down the left to fire in a low cross. The defence went missing and Merson was there to sidefoot home from 12 yards. …

Album: Fight Softly
Label: Sub Pop
Release Date: Tomorrow (March 2)
Rating (Skip, Stream, or Buy): Buy
Download: "Cranberry"
Album covers can say a lot about the record they encase, and in this case the colorfully flowing vibe of The Ruby Sun's third release Fight Softly extends into a record that could very well comprise 2010's sunshine electro-anthem. Following Sea Lion, their 2008 world-music inspired hit that took on a tropical ambience of its own, the new record makes good on frontman Ryan McPhun's promise of an effort incorporating far more synth and bass--almost reminiscent of the sound that brought Animal Collective to the musical forefront with Merriweather Post Pavilion. The melodies are certainly nebulous--sometimes a little too much so--but by rising to climax and ebbing into mid-song transitions the album stays under control without being tame. From track one to ten, songs stretch across a kaleidoscope that incorporates the best calypso sensibilities into helplessly catchy tunes.

Argonian Warrior by LyntonLevengoodWatch
©2014-2016 LyntonLevengood
I've been really inspired by the elder scrolls games over the years, and no there is a team of modders who are making an awesome mod for Skyrim called Skywind. They are basically remaking Morrowind in the Skyrim engine. It looks amazing so far. Anyway. I've had that world on my brain for a while so have been playing around with some concepts. Just quick ones a couple hours.
I hardly ever see BUFF Argonian in heavy armor...this is amazing!
this is great
Absolutely brilliant work! I can't express how well done this is!
Why isn't this featured?!
Featured where?
He looks amazing! That armor is just gorgeous, it fits him so well with that scale-like design. And I really love the face and eyes!
Awesome design! This Skywind mod sounds promising I miss Morrowind
i <3 THIS!!!
Just amazing concept!!!
Beautiful work! Morrowind was a major influence on my art when I was a child (yes, my parents let me play that game when I was about 8 years old even though it was meant for teens I will always thank them for that I was pretty mature at that age). I love how you've stuck to the traditional Morrowind sketch pad look from the game, the colours and details are so rich I can imagine this Argonian as an elite, dual-wielding warrior! Fantastic work, please keep it up!
Most excellent work!
Stellar as always!
Holy snap! This is bloody sweet!
His pose and his armor... he means business <3
His pose and his armor... he means business <3
I wouldn't want to meet him in the dark...

It is scary how amazing of a writer this woman is. And it is even scarier to see how perfectly she has mastered the human race. It does not show humans as the strong, all knowing kind. But delves deeper into the desires, weaknesses, selfishness of the mind. You just never know what is coming up next.
The raw quality of the book is gripping and just comes to show that some of the best literature is disturbing.
Прочетох я заради добрия ПР и хвалбите. Майсторски изградени образи, характери, герои... Историята... историята отминава и заминава с последната страница. Единствено сложното описание на характерите и тяхното развиване остава по-дълго и носи удоволствие, докато се чете този роман.
Review Originally Posted At: FictionForesight
Barry Fairbrother was a loved community figure in the town of Pagford, which sits adjacent to a smaller borough riddled with low-income families living on welfare and dealing with drug addictions. The town is divided on whether or not they want to throw the Fields out of their jurisdiction, and let the city deal with it. But will the pasts of the candidates for Barry's seat on the council prevent them from achieving their goal?
I had to take a few days and sit on this book before I wrote a review. I tried to separate the writer from her previous Harry Potter novels and I think that I succeeded, but I also think that she tried too hard to break away from her past. That's not to say that this was a failure of writing, because it definitely was well written. She just dragged it to extremes and poorly executed it, at least in terms of the plot; especially to be as enjoyable as I hoped it would be.
Rowling plops us into the small town of Pagford, where there is a dispute about a smaller borough known as the Fields. The main issue is that the small town feels they shouldn't be responsible for it anymore, as it is mainly inhabited by those living on welfare, and many are addicted to drugs with the stereotypical welfare woes. They feel it's the nearby city that should bear the burden. The man who spearheaded keeping the Fields a part of Pagford dies suddenly, leaving what is known as a casual vacancy on the town council in his wake. We follow many of the board members and a family from the Fields to see how they try to fill the casual vacancy and make their agendas reality.
What strikes me as oddest about the book is how Rowling uses adolescent boys again to tell the majority of her story. This book is sold as being about the casual vacancy, but really it is about the lives of Andrew, Fats, Krystal, Gaia, and Sukhvinder as they try to survive the death of a coach, changes, and their parents running for the council. We do get the adult viewpoints as well, since the character leading the story changes in every chapter, but the focus remains mainly on the children. Many times we switch to the adult perspective just to garner sympathy for the children, as if the adults are all evil and the kids just victims who somehow survive.
The leading plotline is the election for council, once the move to block any election is stopped. Many different characters are moving to be the next head and there are two different factions; those who want to keep the Fields and those who want to get rid of it. Then we break up into many separate plotlines to follow the children, including the Weedons in the Fields, where we see a divide in class and understanding of the situation. What could have been a really great commentary on welfare and how society views those who are addicted, turned into a circus of everyone being horrible examples of human beings.
Part of my distaste for the book was that there was no warning of a suicidal teenager, or that I would be reading through a graphic description of her harming herself. I read mystery and police procedural books, but this was so gritty and raw it made my stomach turn. There was also no warning of having to read a father physically abusing his family, or the fighting and just general discomfort that is associated with that. That was from two different families, and the others were about as disturbing without turning this into a long, rambling rant.
Another downside was the sheer number of characters who were all so similar, that I wished there was a character sheet in the beginning of the book. The adult women all hated each other and loved to make passive aggressive social commentary whenever it was their viewpoint. I can't even remember a specific adult woman's name, as they were really all one-note, aside from the woman who started fantasizing about boys the same age as her daughter. The men were equally interchangeable; most being involved in politics and wanting to run for office. Whenever they weren't talking politics, they were talking about Barry, the man who died. Everyone loved Barry except for his wife, it seems; and then one of his best friends fell in love with said wife.
The writing itself isn't bad, in that Rowling uses decent grammar, and it doesn't feel horrible to read. She really failed to impress me with how she presented the issues she decided to cover in the book. She danced around saying something quite a few times, and when she finally gets a good point out, she quickly backs away to talk about a boy falling in love with a girl, or another boy using a girl just to get sex so he could feel authentic. It just gets bogged down in needlessly gritty overtones, which could have easily been avoided or skimmed to get the gist of the novel.
It just read like she was trying to vent all of the gritty writing she wanted to do over the years that she was writing Harry Potter; because you can't write Holden Caulfield starring as Harry Potter.
I would never not recommend a book, but this is going to have to be for someone who doesn't mind the grit that some authors throw in to try to make a book feel, for lack of a better word, "authentic". For some reason many contemporary authors think we won't believe it's real life unless something goes wrong in every other paragraph; and that's just not my style.
I enjoyed engaging with realistic warts-and-all characters in their unmasked situations.
its like J.K. has gone out of her way to create the most unlikeable, selfish and concieted characters she can. There is not a single adult character that has any redeeming features. MOst of them I just wanted to slap. She also spends far too long showing us just how unlikeable all these people are for about three quarters of the book we aare just introduced to characters, shown how they relate to other characters and get to listen to their selfish and peety thoughts.
I will check out JK's next book but I wont be spending $39.99 RRP on it. This book might be of interest to book clubs as there are plenty of horrible characters to disect
Set in the fictional village of Pagford, The Casual Vacancy at first seems to have all the trappings of the adorable-English-town novel—an updating of Jane Austen viewed through the loving lens of a Merchant Ivory production. But the book's misanthropy is more indebted to Hardy or Somerset Maugham, both known for their deep distrust of humankind and their sense of the viciousness that can spring up among neighbors.
Rowling has spoken of the sense of risk in embarking on this novel. The Harry Potter series must have been a tough act to follow. What she wanted to do here, I guess, was to seize on the world we can all see without going through Platform 9¾. She has done that to stunning effect.
This is a novel of insight and skill, deftly drawn and, at the end, cleverly pulled together. It plays to her strengths as a storyteller. That will not stop the envious from carping.
It is not the sort of book that hordes of people would choose to read if its author had not also written a far more comforting series of stratospheric bestsellers. But perhaps the world will be better for them reading it. Rowling may not be an easy woman, but she uses her powers for good.
The Casual Vacancy is a sour novel, one that seems designed to leave Rowling's biggest, most avid fans feeling as though she sort of hates them. For all its readability—I had no problem tearing through the whole thing today after buying it from a bewildered bookstore clerk at 7:30 in the morning—the book reveals that though she remains a careful observer of human foibles, Rowling the writer isn't well-served by her enforced isolation.

Hey, thanks! I was really happy with the way it turned out, and how the angle you see the bridge railing at on the right is actually quite far away from where Granville Island is down the bottom left
that's fantastic! i like it

Ilustration by Andrew Saeger, tHE ARTdept. Hey fellow lushes! This just in from the department that decides matters of the utmost importance: Merlot is hip
Ilustration by Andrew Saeger, tHE ARTdept.Hey fellow lushes! This just in from the department that decides matters of the utmost importance: Merlot is hip again. Whew, what a freaking relief. Now, The Wino no longer has to chug it secretly, in the closet.
Yeah, it seems ever since a fictional character in a movie made 10 years ago declared he would never dream of drinking Merlot, a bunch of lemmings, er, wait, I mean sophisticated wine drinkers have been snubbing the wine made from a noble grape of Bordeaux. Dude! That Myles guy stole money out of his mama's purse. How could he possibly be a tastemaker?
Fast forward to the end of Sideways and yup, that's him sucking down a bottle of super fancy French Merlot in a Mickey D's. Classy.
Can we please move on? Yes, we can, especially with the help of this clever, should-be-viral video from Gundlach-Bundschu winery in California's Sonoma Valley. Merlot is having its bacon moment.
So, I went searching for the cheapest Washington version of this varietal I could find and found a $5.99 Covey Run, a winery that's been around since 1982. Years ago, when I drank Covey Run, I got a major brain pain, otherwise known as a red wine headache. Dang, that hurts.
Well, bust my buttons, that wine didn't wound me this time around. Its dark berry flavors and rustic edge reminded me of Russell Crowe, kind of deep and brawny. Yet, it was bright and bouncy enough to make a fine companion to my never-fail carbonara. A good everyday drinking wine, as those in-store wine sellers like to say.
When my Mega-Millions ticket hits, there are a boatload of high-end Merlots I've got on my wish list. Why, just last week, I practically fainted over a Merlot from Spring Valley Vineyards a generous friend gifted me. So, that's what a $40 bottle of wine should taste like! All smooth and complex with a basket of different fruit flavors. But not a fruit bomb, no way.
The Wino sincerely hopes Merlot doesn't get too smoking hot. Because that would probably mean the end to $6 bottles of the stuff.

Cognitive habits are the drive-train of any social vehicle. They leave traces in sociocultural patterns that come out of social constructions, which shape those very habits, which have become visible only through social enactment. Let us take production markets as the social constructions. We begin with signaling, move on to sketch the whole market mechanism, and end with economic theorists' denial of markets in favor of optimal cost schedules contrived in their own minds. We look to participants' minds.
Production markets evolve as signaling mechanisms. Each market spreads the risks and uncertainties in successive commitments made by its producers, even as these producers continue to eye one another. 1 Each producer is seeking a footing, looking to and at a market profile across his or her set of commitments; call it a rivalry profile. Repeated enactment of this profile of choices makes it into a signaling mechanism that is jointly constructed as well as recognized in those very choices—a market as social construction.
Any rivalry requires a basis in and indeed generates comparability. Rivalry in a production market depends on the emergence of an observable ordering by quality

Hey guys, I was reading about a strength routine where you do the 5*5 system that Reg Park used. This is where he picked a weight he could do for 7 reps or so and tried to do 5 sets of 5 reps with it. If he couldn't do it, he tried again the next week. And if he did, he would increase the weight by 5 pounds and start the cycle over again. I was thinking of doing this routine with it:
Deadlifts 5*5
Barbell Rows 5*5
Barbell Curls 5*5
Bench Press 5*5
Seated Military Press 5*5
Skull Crushers 5*5
Ab Crunches (weighted) 3*10-12
Squats 5*5
Leg Curls 3*8-10
Calf Raises 3*8-10
Now with this routine, I was thinking about adding 2-3 sets of assistance exercises for each body part. Now if this routine is good as it is, would those exercises cause me to overtrain? Thank you very much.

Skip to comments.DC: Trade groups change leaders on K Street
Posted on 11/14/2008 5:15:27 PM PST by NormsRevenge
Three major trade associations announced a changeover in leadership Friday as Washington prepares for a new administration and a Congress with extended Democratic majorities in both houses.
Frank Bowman resigned as president and chief executive officer of the Nuclear Energy Institute. Bowman was selected as the leader of NEI in August 2004.
After much deliberation about the right course of leadership for our industry and the Nuclear Energy Institute during this period of dramatic change in Congress and the White House, I am resigning as president and chief executive officer at the Nuclear Energy Institute, Bowman wrote in his resignation letter.
Nuclear energy can expect a tougher road under President-elect Barack Obamas administration. While saying he was in favor of nuclear power, the Illinois Democrat said he opposed plans to store its radioactive waste in Yucca Mountain, Nev., which is favored by the industry.
Martin Fertel, NEIs executive vice president and chief nuclear officer, will lead the trade association during the transition period.
NEI was not the only trade group to announce a leadership change Friday. Marc Racicot, once a Republican governor of Montana, is set to leave his position as president and chief executive officer of the American Insurance Association (AIA) in February 2009.
Leigh Ann Pusey, AIAs chief operating officer and senior vice president for government affairs, will take over the trade group. At AIA since 1996, Pusey previously worked as an aide to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and the Republican National Committee.
Denise Bode is also taking over the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) as its new chief executive officer in January 2009. AWEAs former head, Randall Swisher, is retiring after 19 years with the trade group.
Bode is currently the head of the American Clean Skies Foundation. She previously was president of the Independent Petroleum Association of America and an aide to former Sen. David Boren (D-Okla.).
Renewable energy will be very much on the agenda next year. On the campaign trail, Obama talked about a $150 billion proposal to boost green energy in America and reduce pollution.
just think of it as a 're-tooling'..
"Nuclear energy can expect a tougher road under President-elect Barack Obamas administration. While saying he was in favor of nuclear power, the Illinois Democrat said he opposed plans to store its radioactive waste in Yucca Mountain, Nev., which is favored by the industry".
The Nuclear power industry wants to re-process spent fuel, and build reactors that would burn off high level waste and produce new fuel. Look up John McCain's Project Lexington. I work in the Nuclear industry, this would have been a boon for cheap electricity and enviromental stewardship. Now we're in panic mode.

Egyptian Parliament Nixes Amending Laws to Embrace Dual-Nationality MPs
Egyptian Parliament Speaker Ahmed Srour has said that the country's immigration and citizenship laws would not be amended to allow citizens with dual nationality to run for office or vote, dealing a likely death-blow to MP Rami Lakah's legal battle to retain his seat, according to press reports.
"The verdict issued by the Higher Administrative court against the independent MP Rami Lakah is not open for discussion by Parliament because such verdicts should be implemented immediately without questioning," added Srour.
Srour described the verdict as the first of its type in the history of the Egyptian Parliament, laying the foundation for new constitutional and legal principles.
The speaker suggested that any action regarding the future of Lakah would be determined at the forthcoming parliamentary session in November.
The daily Al Gomhuria said also that a joint meeting for the general and legal committees would be held at the beginning of the new session.
The chairman of the parliamentary grievance committee, Mohammed Guwaili, said that his committee had not been notified of any amendments to the citizenship law.
MP Mahmoud Ibrahim, who represents Azbakiyyah district, said that he did not know the whereabouts of Lakah following the latter's closure of his district office.
A parliamentary source announced that the higher court verdict against Lakah could be put into effect immediately, contrary to the decision taken by the lower court, which was considered an investigation rather than a ruling.
Many members of the parliamentary legislative committee said the ruling meant that Lakah had lost his seat, with all its privileges, including immunity.
Al Gomhuria cited sources as saying that the minister of interior would issue a resolution withdrawing the announcement that Lakah had won his Parliament race, and would notify Parliament to that effect.
This will necessitate the issuance of a resolution by Parliament declaring the vacancy of the seat in Lakah's district, similar to procedures after an MP's death – Albawaba.com

KillZone II concept image by PeteAmachreeWatch
©2009-2016 PeteAmachree
Another painting for Guerilla. They wanted to see Visari's forces overhwelming the enemy.
Very warhammerish
This is not Space-Nazi. Is more like Space-Soviet Red Army.
Helghast guy on tank: Die ISA scum!!!
Other dude: Arn't you suppose to be driving!?
Yup this is really war is all about!
Niceee one of my favourite games, made by a gamecompany of my own country^^
Lovely painting man, the details and use of colours & stuff is very well done
Lovely painting man, the details and use of colours & stuff is very well done
HAIL HELGHAN!!!!!!! Victory is ours! The ground is littered with their dead
Though modern means of warfare are much more sophisticated than a human wave, after playing the entire Killzone series, I can say with certainty that in their future - there is only degradation in the face of gritty technological progress.
That's awesome! Killzone 2 is the most hectic and crazy (in a very good way) FPS I've ever played. I love the style of the series, and contrast between the ISA and Helghast. It's like WW2 almost except very futuristic.
awsome work dude, I love the detail work and composition...
man XD if i could convince you to make art for my fanfic XD i would be a very happy man! lol
that is a epic! man this remains me of enemy at the gates am soo faving this!!
This is amazing!
It's great. Love how they added it to the game as one of the art works in the palace level.
brilliant, reminds me of ww1 pictures, why do the helghast wear masks and the isa dont though? iv always wondered, is it because theyv been there for so long?
because when their ancestors were exiled to Helghan after the First Extrasolar War on Vekta Helghan's atmosphere is very poisonous and very hard to breathe through without getting dangerously sick and dying FYI many of Helghan's first few settler generations died from being unable to cope with Helghan's dangerous atmosphere so over time they donned the masks and gradually evolved into the Helghast
I guess it makes them look more menacing?
yer i guess...i dunno, i just seems odd for an entire military force to kit out their army in gas masks and glowing masks just so that they'd look scary- surely the novelty would wear off after a while...
Completely epic battle scene in effect! The whole battlefield is shrouded in chaos and ferocity to pound the enemy down! I love these imposing looking stormtroopers and the atmosphere all around! Makes me glad I'm too old to be recruited! Superb realization!

Eloisa Ibarra's "The Seed of Babel" reflects on our shifting language
In "The Seed of Babel," now on view at the University of Minnesota's Quarter Gallery, Uruguayan artist Eloisa Ibarra shows 20 representations of the Tower of Babel using traditional printmaking techniques layered with iterations of the internet age. The work, which is curated by Alfredo Torres, meditates on language in the midst of the internet age.
Mirage Intaglio and block print on mdf, 2013, Eloisa Ibarra
For Ibarra's earth-toned, often spiraled towers, she layers symbols of our computer age -- QR codes, binary patterns, and so forth -- as a way to show how language has evolved into new realms beyond just speaking and writing.
Scientia 01, intaglio and block print on mdf, etching on zinc and drypoint on tetra brik, 2013, Eloisa Ibarra
Still, Google Translate is a good example of how coding doesn't match the complexity of language. Anyone who has ever used it knows how useless it is as a tool for anything other than gleaning a tiny bit of sense from a piece of text written in a language we don't understand. For the most part, it doesn't really work, as most languages can't be converted word by word. In order to get the true meaning, you must have someone who actually speaks both languages do the translating. Perhaps someday technology will get over this particular hurdle, but it doesn't seem imminent.

Just finished watching the series. I had it at back of my mind since I was 12 when I saw few of it's episodes on tv. It's difficult to explain how I feel, being able to finally watch it whole and understand it.
Nice work. Lain is definitely an interesting series. It's definitely one of my all time faves. I love the atmosphere and the theme. The mysteries and the meanings. Everything just fits together in such an interesting and mesmerizing way. I can't imagine what you thought of it seeing it when you were so young. I first saw it when I was in college. It was quite a trip even then.
Had to say. I generally have hard time recalling events from my life - I'm really good at remembering plots of books, movies and games. Lain is the only one I did not remember in detail - only random images. Watching series again was like putting pieces together.
Wow. Very pretty! I love that shade of pink. I haven't seen the series yet, but I've heard it's great! Lovely art!

Thunder notebook: OKC no longer flying under the radar
Thunder flying under the radar no moreKevin Durant admitted the Thunder enjoys flying under the radar and attributed his team's success this season in part to proving people wrong. "That's pretty cool when people don't expect us to do something and we do it," Durant said. "For example, winning (38) games, people didn't expect that. I think that is pretty cool to us that people always underestimate us, but we come back and always show them what we really can do." Durant was then informed that the days of being overlooked likely are gone for good. "We're going to miss those days," Durant said, "because once you start to get up there everything is in the spotlight. Once you do bad, people are really going to start to pinpoint those things. "My godfather always told me, 'they build you up to break you down.' That's something that nobody wants to go through. But that's a part of this. I'm sure we're willing to take the good and the bad. It's just a matter of us continuing to be focused."
ANGER MANAGEMENTThunder coach Scott Brooks said he never would have thought his team would draw three technical fouls in one game and especially not in a nine-minute span in the second quarter Sunday at Sacramento. "I kind of liked it for a second, but I knew we had to regroup and play much better," Brooks said. Durant, Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green were each whistled for techs. "Guys are competitive, and we've always done a good job of controlling our emotions," Brooks said. "I've always used the (logic) that you don't need to complain to the referees. Just do your job, and do it well and everything takes care of itself. It was a little too mouthy, but I'm glad that we did it because it put us in check going into the rest of the season."
WESTBROOK'S EYE DOING FINEAfter leaving Sunday's game with a cut above his right eye, Westbrook said he was fine after the game despite needing six stitches to close a gash caused by Kings forward Carl Landry. "I'm good," Westbrook said. "It's nothing big. I'm fine. I was able to see normally. Not too much on the right side, but I was fine."
SECOND-LUCKIEST MAN ON THE FACE OF THE EARTHBrooks frequently turns downs opportunities to talk about his impact on the Thunder's turnaround this season, but the coach doesn't hesitate in talking about what a pleasure it's been to captain Oklahoma City's roster. "I'm thrilled to be coaching in this league," Brooks said. "It's the second-best job in the world. Playing is the best, and it's not even close. And you guys (the media) have the third-best job, talking about it, writing about it, watching it. It's amazing. I'm blessed."
DURANT'S GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTWhen Durant recently was asked about his best individual achievement this season, the Thunder's forward quickly cited being named to his first NBA All-Star team. "That tells you your team is one of the better teams in the league, and you've been helping your team win," said Durant, who ranks second in scoring at 29.7 points per game. "That's kind of like a reward for that. Being an All-Star is what that means. So it was an honor for me and also for my teammates. I was very privileged and honored to be there to represent our team, my family and the whole state of Oklahoma."
QUOTABLEThunder coach Scott Brooks on his team's 19-13 road record — "They're not intimidated by the road crowd or being the visitor. They just want to play." BY DARNELL MAYBERRY

Lady Devils clinch Area 14 championshipPublished 10:24am Monday, February 11, 2013
Lauren Estes
Special to the Enquirer
After four quarters of back-and-forth scoring, Falkville defeated Decatur Heritage at home on Saturday 45-38 to win the Class 1A, Area 11.
Leading the first quarter only by one, Sydney Moore paced the Lady Blue Devil offense in the first half. She managed eight of the first quarter's 12 points.
Going into intermission up 20-16, the Lady Blue Devils returned in the second half to outscore DHCA 12-8 in the third, including Autumn Eddy's buzzer beater.
Decatur Heritage fought back, hitting two big 3-pointers and trimming Falkville's lead to just three.
A big field goal from Makenzie Smith with 1:40 to play allowed Falkville to go up by five, and forced Decatur Heritage to foul in the last minute of the game.
Autumn Eddy led the scoring drive for FHS with 15 points and seven rebounds. Sydney Moore finished with 10 points. Emily Mickleson and Lizzie Davis both managed six. Makenzie Smith and Amanda Muse had four points apiece.
The Lady Devils will play Marion County at home on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Falkville 53, Meek 27
The Blue Devils went on a 12-0 run in the first quarter kicked off by senior Lizzie Davis's steal and two free throws, finishing the first up 17-7.
Fouls played a key role, as both teams had players in foul trouble after the first half. Meek managed 10 fouls in the first quarter and FHS had seven of its own.
The Blue Lady Devils allowed only one point scored while nine of their own in the second quarter, leading at the half 26-8.
Nine players put points on the board for the Blue Devils, leading the way were Autumn Eddy and Sydney Moore, who both managed 11 points on the night.

- Use Resources Thoughtfully: Hyatt is committed to examining how its hotels source, consume and manage natural resources to serve their guests. Hyatt will identify ways for Hyatt hotels to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, use less water, produce less waste and make more environmentally responsible purchasing decisions. As a highlight, Hyatt has set the goal to reduce water use per guest night by 25 percent, and within water-stressed areas, Hyatt has set a 30 percent reduction goal. Additionally, Hyatt is elevating its recycling efforts by challenging every hotel to reach a 40 percent diversion rate, as well as by setting a recycling goal for renovation waste.
- Build Smart: Hyatt will work closely with stakeholders to increase the focus on building more efficient, environmentally conscious hotels across the enterprise. Beginning in 2015, all new construction and major renovation projects contracted for Hyatt managed hotels will be expected to follow enhanced sustainable design guidelines. Hyatt will lead this initiative by mandating that all new construction and major renovation projects for wholly owned full service hotels and resorts achieve LEED certification, or an equivalent certification.
- Innovate and Inspire: This goal reflects Hyatt's commitment to be a catalyst for bringing more hearts, hands and minds to the table to help advance environmental sustainability around the world. This includes Hyatt's commitment to create a funding mechanism to support the innovation, ideation and acceleration of sustainable solutions within its hotels that can be replicated across the Hyatt portfolio, as well as the broader hospitality industry.
Hyatt Unveils New 2020 Environmental Sustainability Strategy
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:H) unveiled today an aggressive set of environmental goals for the year 2020, all designed to strengthen Hyatt's collective ability to collaborate, inspire and further its commitment to environmental stewardship. Hyatt, which is already an industry leader for tracking comprehensive global energy and water data since 2006, is significantly expanding the scope of its existing sustainability initiatives and will continue to focus strongly on measuring and reporting progress. Known as the Hyatt 2020 Vision, these new, ambitious environmental goals define a suite of measureable and actionable targets across three focus areas – use resources thoughtfully, build smart, and innovate and inspire – all with the goal of bringing together Hyatt hotels around the globe to create a more sustainable future."The conservation efforts undertaken by Hyatt hotels around the world since formalizing our approach several years ago have had a real impact, resulting in major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and water and energy usage by property across our portfolio," said Brigitta Witt, Vice President of Corporate Responsibility for Hyatt. "With five years and significant momentum under our belt, we saw the opportunity to further our commitment to environmental stewardship in a manner that fundamentally touches every aspect of our business, from the way our hotels are built and operated, to the way we collaborate with our global supply chain, to the way we influence change through the passion and commitment of our colleagues around the world." Setting Focus Areas Born from robust analysis and research, the Hyatt 2020 Vision focuses on significantly expanding Hyatt's strategic scope, especially in areas where past efforts have not had as much of an impact due to occupancy fluctuations and rapid business growth in developing markets. With this in mind, the Hyatt 2020 Vision focuses on three strategic priorities, which were specifically selected not only for their ability to help guide Hyatt's environmental performance, but also for their ability to touch every Hyatt colleague and community around the globe.

I don't think Lori can survive a hole in her stomach and a bullet in her head
We don't know if Carl put a bullet in her head.
I'm not really sure Carol can get this lost
Guess this will lead into the question that was posed is there still some of the "human element" left in the walkers. Certainly seemed that way
quote:Lori's is alive, Carol is with Lori. Book it.
Rick is mad that zombie munched on lori
quote:With only little pieces left? No bones? hair? Nothing? She's alive, bruh.
Why are we assuming Carl didn't shoot her? Couldn't the zombie eat a Lori with a bullet in her head or am I missing something?
I thought she just calmed down because he put the pillowcase over her head. Like they said, when they lose their ability to feed, they become docile. So binding her and cutting off her senses made her docile.
Rick gone cray and will need to find Lori's body for closure. Not sure if that zombie really ate her, as there was nothing left of her on the ground. I'm thinking we find a zombified Lori at some point.
