Thunder 110, Rockets 104
TULSA — Kevin Durant showed tonight why the NBA world says he'll someday be great.
He simply took over down the stretch, scoring 18 of the team's final 25 points and had 20 of his 26 in the fourth quarter.
But he was the complete package tonight, playing even more impressively on the defensive end and finishing with five rebounds, four assists, four steals, three blocks and only two turnovers in only 33 minutes.
He blocked two shots in the final minute that secured the game.
"That's one thing that coach wanted me to do, he pulled me to the side and told me I've got to be big on both ends," Durant said. "That's what I tried to do with the help of my teammates. It was good to see everything clicking tonight for us."
Seven-time All-Star Tracy McGrady said Monday night was a sign of growth from Durant. With the Rockets throwing much shorter defenders at him in D.J. Strawberry and Von Wafer, Durant went to the basket, used his post-up game more and got to the free throw line more often, converting 10 of 11 from the foul line.
"He didn't settle," McGrady said. "He took what was there…It's his second year. He's growing and he's going to get better, I'm sure. He's going to be around for a long time."
Durant's teammates talked about needing nights like tonight out of him.
"He helps our team out," said Chris Wilcox. "When he gets going like that he definitely helps everyone else out on the court. They can't double in the post and they have to play him straight up so he opens up the court."
For the first time this preseason, coach P.J. Carlesimo was pleased with individuals. He specifically pointed to Nick Collison (21 points, four rebounds), Johan Petro (12 points, seven rebounds), Wilcox (13 points, 14 rebounds), Earl Watson (eight points, seven assists) and Desmond Mason1(16 points, three rebounds).
"We've not had a lot of guys to brag about after games because they can play better," Carlesimo said. "As a team we've been trying but we haven't stepped up as many times individually. Tonight, about six or seven individuals stepped up so we've got a lot of people to talk about."
The other thing that's starting to stand out about this team is its resiliency. In all four games the Thunder has trailed early and battled back late. They trailed by 13 early against Minnesota before losing by only six. They trailed by 19 to Sacramento early in the third before pulling within one with six minutes remaining only to lose by nine. Against Golden State they trailed by 20 before pulling within eight at the end of the third before losing by 22. And tonight they battled back from an 11-point deficit.
"We played hard. We're going to come back," Carlesimo said. "I don't think we'll not come back. We're not going to go away. We have too many guys that compete to do that."
A few notes…..
* P.J. said he plans on playing John Lucas Tuesday against the Clippers.
* Jeff Green is a maybe with his sprained ankle. He said it's a minor sprain and that it's not that bad, saying he expects to be fully recovered by the middle of the week. But when I asked him if he expects to play Tuesday he said, "Nah. I don't want to rush back too soon. It's just preseason. If it was the regular season, probably. But I want to make sure it's healed up 100 percent before I step out on the court."
* D.J. White underwent successful surgery today to repair a benign growth in his jaw. He is expected to miss four to six months.
* In other injury news, because it was a very scary night for the Thunder, Durant is fine after rolling his left ankle in the fourth quarter…Damien Wilkins had a stinger to his left eye when he ran into Brent Barry but he was fine after the game…Barry almost took out Russell Westbrook with an inadvertent elbow as he was going up for a shot but Westbrook is fine as well….And Chris Wilcox was kneed in the back of his leg midway through the game but aside from a little soreness and discomfort said he's OK.
* After a solid preseason debut, Russell Westbrook's struggles continued tonight. He missed 7 of 8 shots and finished with five points, three rebounds and three assists. He only had two turnovers tonight, a preseason low, but Aaron Brooks handed him his lunch. Brooks scored 20 points on 9 of 14 shooting in only 24 minutes. Brooks joined Sacramento's Bobby Brown and Golden State's DeMarcus Nelson as guards who have torched the Thunder in the past three games. The education continues for the rookie.
"It's his rookie year. Things are going a little bit fast for him," said Brooks. "He's got to make adjustments. It's some good point guards in this league. But I think he'll be fine…Rookies are going to take their lumps. That's just how it is. It's only a few rookies that come in and are just superstars. He's going to take some lumps and it's going to be a growing year for him, but he's a great player. He's going to be just fine."
* The Thunder also made its free throws tonight, connecting on 29 of 33 (87.9 percent). The team shot a season high 48.2 percent from the field and committed a preseason low 11 turnovers.
"We just got to come with the mindset tomorrow night that we got to come in and play hard no matter what," Durant said. "We have to get something out of these games. We can't have setbacks like we had in Golden State. We just got to come to play, and everybody came to play tonight."

Spending on apparel over the decades
May 31, 2006
Between 1901 and 2002-03, expenditure shares for clothing steadily declined.
In 1901, the average U.S. household allocated 14.0 percent of total spending for apparel, while households in New York City allocated 13.0 percent on average, and households in Boston, 14.4 percent. By 2002-03, spending shares for clothing had decreased to 4.2 percent in the country as a whole, 5.2 percent in New York City, and 3.9 percent in Boston.
Also, by 2002-03, women's clothing had become the single largest component of the clothing budget in New York City and Boston, at 2.0 percent of total spending in New York City and 1.5 percent in Boston.

Espiga Group
Virgionio was the one interviewed. He is married to Elisa, and they have four children who are already married. He says that he applied for the loan in order to buy wood for making furniture. He has been in this business for 20 years. It's going well, and he has managed to earn a good income for his family.
The inspiration for this business was his alone, as he worked for a carpenter, and the idea for this business began from there. He decided to set up his own carpentry shop to earn his own money.
What he most wishes is that with the loan and his hard work, he can continue increasing his business, so that he and his family can get ahead in life.
The people who make up the group are Enrique, who applied for the loan to buy wood for making furniture, and Josefa, who will use the loan to buy ingredients for making tamales.
El grupo se llama Espiga y se integra de tres personas dos hombre y una mujer y viven en una comunidad pequeña.
Don Virginio fue quien se le tomo la entre vista, el es casado con la señora Elisa y con quien procreo cuatro hijos quienes ya están casados, y comenta que solicito l préstamo para invertirlo en la compra de madera para la elaboración de muebles en donde lleva trabajando veinte años y le va bien y que con ello a logrado muchos ingresos para su familia.
Su inispiracion por esta actividad fue por si solo ya que trabajo con un señor que es carpintero y de ahí comenzó su noción por esta actividad y decidió poner su propia carpintería para ganar su propio dinero.
Lo que más desea es que con el préstamo y su actividad pueda seguir aumentando su negocio para así seguirá adelante con su familia.
Las personas que integran en el grupo son: el señor Enrique quien solicito el préstamo para invertirlo en la compra de madera para elaboración de muebles y la señora Josefa invertirá en la compra de ingredientes para la elaboración de tamales.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

students and patients.
The Lane Dental Assisting Program prepares its graduates for employment in the dental setting, with emphasis on current concepts of clinical chair side assisting. The program is fully accredited, and is recognized by the Dental Assisting National Board. After successful completion of the three quarter program, students are eligible to take the National Board exams and receive all certificates and licenses needed for employment as an Expanded Function Dental Assistant in the state of Oregon. All credits from the nine month program can also be applied to an Associates of General Studies degree in the 2 year option here at Lane. This AGS can then be applied to a Bachelors of Associated Science degree at many Oregon 4 year colleges and universities. See the catalog listing for the current 2 year curriculum.
A dental assistant may serve as a clinical chair side assistant, secretary-bookkeeper, office manager, or laboratory technician. Our program focuses on clinical chair side skills, and prepares the student for employment in all areas of dental assisting including the dental specialties of orthodontics, pedodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics and oral surgery.
95 - 100 percent of the graduates find employment in the Eugene/Springfield area. The remaining graduates are able to find employment in other parts of the state. Starting salary in the Eugene/Springfield area averages $15.00 - $16.00 per hour.
To Our Students: Please be informed that Lane Community College Division of Health Professions requires all students to submit appropriate personal information (such as immunization records, federal and state background checks, drug screens and others) to CastleBranch, a company specializing in the collection and storage of student health care information. Submission of required documents must be accomplished prior to the beginning of classes. Both the drug screens and background checks must be clear (e.g. absence of positive results for narcotics, marijuana, alcohol and/or other illicit substances for drug screen) to ensure clinical placements and graduation from Health Profession programs. Specifics on required documents, costs, timelines, and how to access CastleBranch, will be included in the letter of program acceptance and/or discussed at the Mandatory Program Orientation.

OFWs Abandoning Families in Cordillera
BAGUIO CITY -- At least 30 percent of Overseas Filipino Workers from the Cordillera are reportedly abandoning their loved ones, resulting in dysfunctional families in the community, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration here said.
But while some OFWs are abandoning their families, most of the families of OFWs in the region turn out to be successful in their endeavors, the agency said.
Manuela Pena, OWWA regional director in the Cordillera, said abandonment is just one of the serious negative impacts of overseas employment. She said the agency is implementing interventions to reduce such incidents and sustain wholesome family relationships even if one member of the family is away from home.
Pena said overseas employment brings economic progress to a lot of families but there are social costs.
Pena said cases of OFW abandonment have actually gone down from 50 percent last year to 30 percent this year that could be attributed to the various OWWA interventions.
Among the cases being brought by family members of OFWs to their office are non-remittance, delayed remittance, lack of or no communication, and alleged involvement of a third party. …

243 - 308 - 7mm08 and h&r handi rifles
Of the 243, 7mm08, and 308 can you tell me pros and cons of these three.
Wanting to buy a single shot h&R handi rifle
What you think about the handi rifles and what should one expect to pay? I wish I could find a good used one for sale...

Handi Rifle
I think they are great guns, I have one in 30-30 and it shoots great. Go to http://www.go2gbo.com/forums//index.php and scroll down, there is an entire forum on for the Handi Rifles and Pardner Shotguns. Of what I have read, the 243 will not shoot as accurate at the other two out of the box. There is a thread (FAQ IIRC) at the Graybeard site that has lots and lots info. Check it out, there's a few days worth of reading there. I myself would not hesitate to purchase another Handi, and would really like one in 270. Great guns for the money and you can get 2 or 3 for the same money as a bolt action.
Read your thread again, new they go for $225-$250, used you should be able to find from $150 and up. I saw one in 44mag a few weeks ago for $200 that I gave great consideration to, being that I already have a 44mag revolver and ammo. There is a classifieds section at Graybeards also, keep an eye there, they come up from time to time. If you find a handi but in a different caliber, you can always have another barrel fit to the frame.
Scott7m-Why do you think they are not quality? Just because you don't have to sell your first born to afford one, doesn't mean they aren't quality. They are a well built basic single shot rifle at a good price.

I wouldn't hate on the Handi-Rifles. Dang fine shooters from my experience. Bought a .243 youth model for my son and I ended up swiping it several days. Most fun I have had shooting in years. Just a blast. Accurate as heck right out of the box. I have several rifles that would be considered "quality pieces." I'm looking to pick up a HR for myself. They stack up with anything I shoot. I was a skeptic. Now I'm a believer. And in this economy, best bargain going IMO.

I've got one in 25-06 with a 308 barrel also and i wouldn't trade it for nothin. My neice has killed two with it this year. it certainly is a tack driver without a doubt.
I've seen both good and bad shooting handi rifles, with most of them shooting very good for their price. IMO the quality is too spotty, and chance of getting a bad 1 is just too high.
As to the 3 cartridges, the 7mm08 is the BEST deer cartridge ever designed. It's 1 of the rare cartridges that perform WAY above what could be expected of it based on design/powder case capacity. It's capable of extreme accuracy while being very mild in recoil department. I started my kids, grandkids, and others out on deer with this cartridge, and NONE of them ever complained of it's recoil being uncomfortable-even at age of 10. I built my babygirl an 7mm08 on Remington action a few years ago,she's now almost 16 and it's already made several clean 1 shot kills-with the farthest being 431 yards on an 12 pointer. I like it so much am going to build myself 1 (except on a-bolt action) to replace my aging Browning a-bolt in .284.
The .243 is just too light IMO in case you EVER think about elk, while the .308 is simply more than is needed for deer. The 7mm08 is the perfect compermize in size.
They're good rifles, plenty of bang for the buck. My two cents: Get the 308, put a decent scope on it, and shoot the ever-loving snot out of it. Not many things on this continent that couldn't be hunted and killed with a 308 handi rifle.

Sounds like a good rifle at a bargain price to me.
I no longer own a handy rifle but the one I had was chambered in 30-30 and was a good solid rifle that would not have any problems hunting with.
Of the calibers you listed 308 and 7mm-08 would be the ones I would narrow down to. Either are fine rounds, I have at least one bolt action of both calibers and right now my favorite is the 7mm-08. Its a mild recoiling, flat shooting round that can carry more weight than a 243. The ONLY draw back I see with the 7mm-08 is that if you buy factory ammo it is a little harder to find and a little more expensive than 308. So if cost is an issue go with 308.
Just my two cents.
I expect that the 243 crowd will jump in next.
I would get the 308 for simple fact of ammo availablity. It is also a good all around cartridge. yotes to elk."If god didn't want us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?"

superintendent, East Porter County School Corp.
To the editor:
Dear Sen. (Jim) Tomes:
I have been following Senate Bill 229 and have a number of questions for you. First, why is it necessary to allow people to bring guns on school property? For years we have worked to improve the safety and security of our students and staff. I do not understand how allowing people to have guns on school property is useful in any manner.
What instances have occurred around the state making it necessary to allow firearms on school property? It has been stated in news reports that the change is necessary so parents who are dropping their children off at school and inadvertently have a firearm in the car are not charged with a felony.
In 20 years of being a school administrator I have never had a situation where a parent inadvertently had a gun in his or her vehicle. In trying to keep students and staff safe, it would seem to make more sense to keep guns farther away from schools, not bring them closer to potential targets.
In the proposed legislation, a person may possess a firearm on school property if the firearm is kept in the trunk of the person's motor vehicle, in the glove compartment of the person's locked motor vehicle or stored out of plain sight in the person's locked motor vehicle. The ability to possess a firearm on school property does not extend to high school students.
We have seen or heard of individuals who have become upset during school events. In the past three years, I have had to issue a criminal trespass warning to at least four parents who displayed dangerous behavior while on school property. Imagine the tragedies we will see if people are able to possess a gun in their car on school property. There will be little to stop a person from going to a vehicle to retrieve a gun to use to settle an argument.
Why were schools carved out in the legislation from the list of properties where possession of a firearm could be prohibited by the employer? The pending legislation lists 15 employment-related properties where firearms are not permitted, including postsecondary educational institutions (colleges and universities). If it is not permissible to possess a firearm at a postsecondary institution why would it be permissible to possess one at an elementary, middle or high school?
I support the Second Amendment right to bear arms. I also believe in the Declaration of Independence which sets out the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Allowing firearms on school property will certainly fulfill the Second Amendment, but at the same time it will jeopardize life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I urge you to reconsider the proposed legislation, unless you can legitimately explain why the change in the law is beneficial to children.

I went to my daughter's Veterans Day assembly and it was very well scripted. The children sang beautifully and the sign language to the songs and slide show of veterans, old and new, was a special treat. But it was all to be overshadowed by the lack of respect to our country. Out of more than 30 school employees, including teachers, only six stood and either placed their hand over their heart or saluted. We have so few chances to instill the duty of why we respect this great nation and respect those who have or are willing to lay down their life to defend it. I was sitting in front of several veterans who were very disturbed over the lack of importance given the "Star Spangled Banner."
And we ask ourselves why there is a lack of patriotism in this country. I now see that it is because our children are not shown why we salute the flag or stand with our hand over heart during our national anthem in our school system. I hope and pray this is an isolated issue and not how the public school system operates.
We should always stand up for these fine men and women who fight for our freedoms and rights.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 DLC Coming Back for a Limited Time
Written Monday, June 28, 2010 By Alan PettitView author's profile
Abruptly taken off the marketplace with no warning back in January after less than three months in existence, the Character Pack that adds an extra 250 gamerscore will be returning to the marketplace through the end of the 2010 calendar year, as confirmed by an admin on the MUA2 forums. She also confirmed that they will not be putting out a "Gold Edition" of the game that will include the extra DLC on disc as they did with MUA1, so this will be the final chance at these DLC achievements. Stay tuned for another news post when the content is officially available, and be sure to grab it before the year is out if you want to get your 1250 in MUA2.
"So here is the news - and this is part of what was keeping me super busy behind the scenes - we did it! We made our case (your fan support helped), begged, pleaded, cajoled and didn't give up and were able to convince the 'powers that be' to bring MUA2 DLC back!! This is really happening. And you are the FIRST to know.
In terms of timing, now that it's been approved, we need to coordinate to get this back up on Xbox Live and PSN. I am hoping we can get this up on XBL before the 4th of July but that might be wishful thinking - we are trying. As soon as I know definite timing, I will let you know.
And this is important - I want to make sure this is super clear from the beginning - all good things must come to an end and we are only allowed to have the MUA2 DLC back up through the end of 2010. So there will be about a 6 month window to download the content again, and then it will be gone for good. It's not a strategy and not our choice, this is just what is allowed so I'm giving you all the advance notice I can.

"Screen options" and "help" buttons are sill there (but inactive)
I can guess you want to hide them as well, not just disable
"Screen options" and "help" buttons are sill there (but inactive)
I can guess you want to hide them as well, not just disable
I've just released an update that takes care of that issue, along with several others. It's available for download now.
I see both screen options and help buttons still there on my network sites' dashboards, all all functioning. Am I missing something? Is there a settings page I need to configure because I do not see a settings page either...
There is no settings page. Once activated, the plugin just "works".
The only role that this hides anything from is subscribers. Admins/editors/authors/contributors will still see everything they are supposed to see per their role.
The fact that you still see the dashboard means you are logged in as one of those roles.
Have you tried logging in as a subscriber to see if screen options, help, and the dashboard are hidden?
Also, did you network activate the plugin, or only activate it on one site?
Thank makes sense. Thanks for the clarification! Any way to change it so that Admins also can't see them? This may be useful in a Multisite network set up where you want to control what admins see...
Why would you want to hide screen options and help from admins?
Well actually, I guess I was trying to disable some dashboard widgets, so I should just focus on that and not hide the widgets...
I found this: http://pario.no/2011/03/28/how-to-remove-dashboard-widgets-in-wordpress/
Tweaked functions.php and it worked... just for SuperAdmin. The multisite dashboard widgets are still showing. Any clue?
But thanks for the help!
Don't put it in your theme's functions.php file. If you switch themes, you lose the functionality.
Read this blog post: http://wphidedash.org/2011/04/best-practice-for-adding-custom-functions/
It tells you how to create a custom plugin for these functions. Make sure you change the info in the plugin header to reflect your name and site URL.
Now, for the code you need to add to that custom plugin to do this:
/* Disable default dashboard widgets */
function spiffy_disable_default_dashboard_widgets() {
if ( !is_super_admin() ) {
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_right_now', 'dashboard', 'core' );
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_recent_comments', 'dashboard', 'core' );
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_incoming_links', 'dashboard', 'core' );
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_plugins', 'dashboard', 'core' );
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_quick_press', 'dashboard', 'core' );
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_recent_drafts', 'dashboard', 'core' );
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_primary', 'dashboard', 'core' );
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_secondary', 'dashboard', 'core' );
add_action('admin_menu', 'spiffy_disable_default_dashboard_widgets');
Be sure to remove the code from your functions.php file before activating the custom plugin.
Notice that I've prefixed the function name with spiffy_ - that's to keep it from conflicting with any other functions that might have the same name. It's always best to do that. :)

Phalla's GroupCambodiaAgricultureFunding via VisionFund Cambodia
Nimol GroupCambodiaAgricultureFunding via KREDIT Microfinance Institution Plc.
Srey's Group
Srey and her husband support their family by working as rice farmers. Having been in this business for more than 10 years, together they are able to earn around 26,500 KHR (Cambodian riels) per day and save approximately 9,500 KHR for future needs after deducting the daily cost of living.
Srey is a second-time borrower with VisionFund (Kiva's partner). She comments that the previous loan that she successfully paid back made her life so much better.
Now, she is leading a group of three female members to take out a loan in the amount of 2,100,000 KHR in total. With 500,000 KHR, the loan portion of Srey will be spent on buying fertilizer to keep her rice field in good shape. Via the help of this loan portion, Srey strongly believes that her rice field will provide a good quality crop yield so that she can boost her income as well as improve the living conditions of her family.
Additional Information
About VisionFund CambodiaVisionFund Cambodia is a Christian organization and microfinance institution that provides small loans and other financial services to improve the lives of children, empower poor women and their families, and grow successful businesses. The organization works primarily in rural parts of Cambodia and has distinguished itself by targeting the very poor who require smaller loan sizes, regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.
Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand into the northeastern provinces of the country, which have historically been underserved and difficult to reach with financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

If you come to Dallas, the White Rock Lake trail is nice and there are some nice bike shops to hit.

White Rock Lake is nicer than the creek trail. Though if you want to get a nice 30mi route, you can start at Richardson Bike Mart, ride down to the creek trail which leads to the lake, do a loop around the lake, and then back to the shop. I'm a stones throw from RBM, and jsharr isn't far either. So we can certainly get a group together to ride when you're in town.
RBM also has rides each Saturday morning ranging from 12-54mi, and there's also PBA that starts out from this area and heads out to the rural areas north east of dallas. All in all some great riding no matter how you do it.
road or mtb?
the Ray Roberts Lake has very nice mtb trails, both Johnson Branch and Isle du Bois.
i'm just getting into road myself, so need some recommendations.
beer-bottle target
HEY! Just realized I was wrong on the date of one of the rides east of Dallas called Spring Fever in Sulphur Springs. Looks like I'll likely be out there Saturday the 24th for that ride (thought it was the following weekend). I could still likely do a shorter ride on Sunday though.
Thanks for all the responses!
' sorry for not being clear, its road cycling I'm into. Leisurely rides only, no racing (' too old for that).
cuda2k, thanks for the offer. I might take you up on that. I don't ride fast, though. I don't want to slow you guys down and ruin your ride.
If there are anymore suggestions please keep it coming.
Austin is another place I want to check out for nice rides. Any good places to ride in Austin?

If you don't want to go clear to dallas there are lots of scenic roads anywhere from Decatur up to the Red River. I really like the area around Forestburg on up to Saint Jo, no traffic, just rolling hills through the country.
I'm no racer either, usually this time of the year my avg speeds are around 16-17mph. Spring Fever was a great ride last year, and while Sulphur Springs is a bit of a drive out of Dallas its worth the trip.
shooter - I may have to come up your way and ride out there with you some time soon. Sounds like a great area as well!
After Corpus Christi you may want some hills.
On your way home, retreat south from Wichita Falls on Highway 291 about 30 or 40 miles to FM 1191, turn south on 1191 until you reach the small town of Bryson. You can park there on the main street and saddle up.
You can ride 1191 south from Bryson and then around the east side of Possum Kingdom on Hwy 16 all the way to 180. Park road 33 around west side of PK has some great hill country.
Hwy 16 , Graford to Mineral Wells, will offer some huge views of the Brazos River valley as well as three huge climbs in 10 miles.
Most anything between Hwy 380 and I-20 in Jack-Young-Palo Pinto county area will have some views and hills. Traffic would be considered very light by most people's standards.
Most economic fallacies derive from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another.....Milton Friedman

Blunders of every kind of Earth.
But the one that puzzles me the most : why didn't White take that bishop on move 27 ???
i'd have a shot at 23.Bh3 Rdg8 24.f3
it seems that last moves`ve been played in time pressure. for example: 21. ... Bc3? 22.b.c! R.c 23.Bb2
or before that: 22. ... 0-o-0? 23.Bh3 Rdg8 24.f3! takes one rook.
and we know that Bh3 is also playable for some of next moves.
and before these: black had chances when : 19.Nd1 0-o-0! followed by Rdh8 or Rdg8.
i think white was wrong by playing 12.h3? .he should have attacked to centre by 12.e4 to free his black bishop or 12.c4 to make queenside undesirable for black to castle.
did he even play the opening correct? even with white squared bishop he had white square weakness. i know its probably a totally correct opening but for a patzer it looks totally incorrect.
What was the time control? o.0
Thanks for all the comments, but how would you end the game? Also, this was not a timed game; for the records, this was not even a real game. I just slaped it together... thus all the blunders. I used all the knowledge that I had... and hoped for the best!
Irontiger~ I didn't see that move. Thanks for pointing that out!
Sonofthemorninglight~ That's an interesting way to getting to the end game!
shukh~ nice set of moves, I was not playing under the pressure of a clock. I made this game up, and I wanted to know what one should do about white's protection of his king...
Tetsuoshima: Even if it was a bad opening, I still think that black had the advantage in developing more.
C-nack~ I was not playing under the pressure of time, I simply slapped this game together and was wondering how could black loose/ white win.
Thanks for the comments!
misunderstood you, yes i ment white played bad
yes it really is an endgame after 23.Bh3

["To feel our motion forward is impossible. Motion implies terminus; and how can terminus be felt before we have arrived?" - William James, Essays in radical empiricism.]
The caustic stain of guilt on once sterile hands.
I have gone numb in my conspiracy of one.
I am easily pleased, just a little time before I decline.
I need...
A purpose for these arms, a care to breed new life,
A purpose for these hands, a reason I need...
A reason to fall and a reason to dive.
It's the wait I fear the most.
Set free mortal coil, come purest of pain.
A serious reality, elusive and free.
I breathe forgiveness in.
The other moment I found me in a chamber filled with irony.
Screaming, falling into grace for a moment only.

The Cornetto Trilogy Golden Mile, Day 3: The Best Fan Art
By Eric Eisenberg 2013-08-14 13:10:01 comments
Creating Cornetto trilogy-inspired artwork to post on the internet is one thing, but making something you wear around every day is a whole other level of fanhood. Enter this Tumblr user who used their artistic skills to design shoes based on Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Worlds End. Looking closely at the artwork you will see a number of quotes and references to the entire series all put together in a cool pattern. Its a shame that humans dont have three feet so that somebody could wear one shoe for each film.
Lets stick with the theme of hand-drawn stuff, shall we? Illustrated by an artist named Jim Ferguson, these three pieces dont really have anything tying them together outside of the fact that they are inspired by the same movie franchise, but that doesnt stop them from being awesome. Its always great to see fan art that inspires you to think, I wish I could put that up on my wall.

Metairie, LA (AP) - A technician, on Thursday October 7, challenged BP's claim about how long it would have taken to install an additional number of a key device the oil giant had been warned was essential to
prevent a severe gas flow problem in its Gulf well that later blew
Centralizers make sure the casing is running down the center of
the well bore. If the casing is cemented off-center, there is a
risk of an imperfect seal that could allow oil and gas to escape.
BP installed only six, against a Halliburton recommendation to
install 21.
One issue in a federal investigative panel's probe of the rig
explosion and massive oil spill that followed is whether BP cut
corners to reduce costs. The well project was nearly $60 million
over budget at the time the centralizer warning was raised.

What do you expect me to say
When you keep pushing me away?
RememberI can't read your mind,
And time cannot rewind.
Regret will only make it worse
Like a bad omen from a curse.
This will surely make you stronger;
Please just hold on longer.
I'll be here, right by your side;
You don't have to run and hide.
Just try to find the silver lining
The sun will keep on shining.
Never forget that this is true:
I am here for you.

I'm not your friend.....but I really need one now....do you think you can note me? And also b4 u note me... Please read all 3 of my journal entries....please I'm scared...
lovely poem
I used to have a friend like that. She'd support me through almost everything. Now she's gone and she's my problem. I feel like I've got no one left.
I'd been facing a similar situation when my friend's father developed a brain tumor.
I told her I was there for her and I still am.
I just hope she realizes that.
I told her I was there for her and I still am.
I just hope she realizes that.
I run out of words, if you serve this,
Aw... That's so sweet. How long have you been writing poems?Every poem I come across written by you is so inspiring and amazing. I have to say, I've tried to write poems for years, and everything that I've wrote put together is nothing compared to just one of your poems.

That's really lovely, she's really lucky

*Reads again*. Sometimes rhyming hinders the poetry. But I swear, this just increases the awesomeness behind this poem. It all flows together to perfectly. And the words so heavy, but simple. Keep it up!
This is good!

Wow! I really enjoyed reading this... It looks like you put a lot of thought into this for your friend! And you're right, we're never alone...
Nice gift for your friend.

This poem's rhyme scheme and meter were painful to read. It's nice of you to help your friend though, when so many people are more concerned with themselves these days.
You're an amazing person for supporting somebody like this.
More people need to be a friend like you, and -show- they care through such means if none other are possible or available.

When one thinks of a handyman, the usual concept is of a workman with nominal skill in a wide variety of home improvement or home repair trades; such as painting, dry wall, doors and windows, leaky faucets, etc. The scope of handyman services offered by a home handyman may range from a simple dry wall patch job to major renovation in a kitchen or bathroom home improvement project.
Just finding someone for general handyman work is difficult or nearly impossible in many localities; even without any issues of emergency or urgency. A handyman for hire is someone who is in high demand in most localities; booked well in advance. This is where it can start to get a little dicey.
Almost every local building authority has building code requirements that insist electrical or plumbing work be done by a licensed professional. Some localities may require a handyman license to undertake any level of handyman work, while other localities may have no requirements at all.
Some contractor handymen are qualified for broad spectrum work; they may be licensed to do extensive home electrical repair or deal with a complicated plumbing problem. Others do not have the licensing or qualifications to do so, but may attempt such projects anyway.
In most cases, contractor handymen are trade professionals highly skilled in one area, such as carpentry - but fill in the spaces between contracts with handyman work. In rare cases you might find a licensed plumber or electrician who does handyman work. But these contractors are usually in high demand and make more per hour sticking to their trade.
A very important fact to remember is that a handyman contractor usually is not skilled in all areas of home repair. Skills will vary from one handyman to the next. Therefore, it is crucial to define what skills or expertise a handyman should have for a particular project. So that the tasks you want performed can be completed in a satisfactory manner, following local building code requirements.
A carpenter offering handyman services may be an excellent choice for home glass repair or general home repair and remodeling. But a poor choice for home electrical repair or home appliance repair. While a master handyman versed in all aspects of the trade would be an excellent choice for almost any type job ranging from an easy home repair project to an extensive home improvement remodeling.
So how do homeowners obtain the services of a good handyman service? Listed below are tips for building a punch list of tasks to be performed. And considerations for screening and hiring the right Mr fix it for a successful home repair or mobile home repair project.
Whether planning a home repair improvement to increase the market value of your home. Or simply seeking handyman services to complete that do it yourself home repair that you were unable to finish last summer. Finding a good handyman can be a difficult task.
Homeowners all across Canada are turning to TrustedPros.ca, where finding a reliable local handyman contractor is a snap. Whether seeking emergency repair services or a home repair estimate, homeowners sign up without any cost or obligation whatsoever. And then post their home repair improvement project online, where it is immediately visible to local skilled contractors knowledgeable about building code requirements.
Handyman contractor members also receive immediate e-mail notification of new project postings within their scope of expertise. They in turn provide project owners competitive bids in days, even just hours from project posting.
Homeowners can view company profile pages, references, customer comments and feedback, licensing/insurance/certification credentials, and photos of recently completed projects for each contractor member online. And then make an informed hiring decision, or hire no one at all. Remember, there is no obligation to hire anyone.
Search the TrustedPros directory and discover the best contractors in your area. Read real customer reviews, browse photos and compare credentials.Find your home service pro

Controversial Sen. Patrick Brazeau was in jail Thursday night, awaiting a court appearance Friday as police investigated reports of domestic violence.
Charges against the senator would trigger a Senate process within days that could see him suspended from Canada's upper chamber - while still being paid a senator's annual base salary of $132,300.
He was removed from the Conservative caucus by Prime Minister Stephen Harper Thursday.
"I think it's known that in light of the serious events that have been reported today, I have removed Senator Brazeau from the Conservative caucus," Harper told the House of Commons Thursday.
"Our understanding is that these are matters of a personal nature rather than Senate business, but they are very serious and we expect they will be dealt with through the courts."
Brazeau was informed in a one-line email Thursday that he was no longer welcome in the Tory caucus. The email, which went to every Conservative senator, said simply that he "has been removed from caucus, effective immediately."
The email was signed by Sen. Marjory LeBreton, the government leader in the Senate.
LeBreton wouldn't talk to reporters Thursday but issued a written statement that said, "In light of the serious nature of the events reported today, Senator Brazeau has been removed from the Conservative Caucus. As this is a legal matter, I cannot comment further."
The Opposition NDP called for Brazeau's immediate removal from the Senate. NDP MP Charlie Angus, his party's ethics critic, said, "we don't believe that (Brazeau's) doing anything to represent the Canadian people."
MP and D?eputy Liberal Leader Ralph Goodale said the Senate will have to "determine the facts as quickly and expeditiously as they can, and they should make sure that there's no delay in shouldering their responsibility."
Gatineau police confirmed the arrest of a man Thursday morning in a domestic violence case but declined to name him, saying the investigation was continuing. A police spokesman told reporters that no charges had been laid Thursday but this could hap-pen Friday morning. Brazeau was scheduled for an early court appearance.
Brazeau, an aboriginal senator, has been an outspoken criticism of many First Nations leaders, and of the Idle No More protest movement.
But he has also been under Senate investigation, along with other senators, over allegations that he may have misused $21,000 in housing allowances. He has maintained his innocence.
"He has . . . no credibility," said Liberal Sen. Lillian Dyck, a Cree from the Gordon First Nation. "It looks like (Harper) made a very poor choice. The evidence shows it was a poor choice."
Brazeau, an Algonquin from the Kitigan Zibi First Nation in Quebec, was appointed to the Senate in 2008. At the time, he was the third-youngest senator to be appointed in Canadian history.
In an earlier interview, he told Postmedia News, "I knew I was going to be a target from day one. I was appointed at the age of 34, a very young senator, the third youngest in Canadian history. That fact alone and the fact that perhaps that I'm also - and I hate to say this - perhaps the fact that I'm also aboriginal (would make me a target.)
"People don't like the fact that we have aboriginal people in the Senate that have a pretty powerful voice or can have a pretty powerful voice at times. I've always known I was going to be the target. That's fine."
He also said at the time: "Everything negative that has been said about me since my appointment has never been proven. I still look forward to the day that, regardless of the allegations that swarm out there by different media sources or any other individuals or groups, that they actually provide the truth and the facts to back up their allegations."
If Brazeau were charged, it would trigger a Senate process that could lead to his suspension.
Once legal notice of a charge has been delivered to the Senate administration, the Senate's internal economy committee determines whether a member of the Senate should be suspended. If so, the senator is suspended with pay, although access to parliamentary resources would be cut off and travel allowances would be cut.
Members can be ejected from the Senate if convicted of an indictable offence and given no less than two years in jail. No senator to-date has been ejected.
No senator has ever been expelled from the upper chamber, but several have resigned under a cloud: . Raymond Lavigne, a Liberal from Quebec, resigned in March 2011 after being found guilty of fraud and breach of trust relating to spending of his Senate office budget. The resignation allowed him to keep his Senate pension. Lavigne was appointed by Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien in 2002.
. Eric Berntson, Progressive Conservative for the western provinces, was appointed in September 1990 by Tory prime minister Brian Mulroney. He resigned in February 2001 after being found guilty of fraud in 1999 related to his time as a provincial MLA in Saskatchewan. He spent four months in jail.Michel Cogger was a Progressive Conservative senator for Quebec appointed by Mulroney in 1986. He resigned in September 2000 after being convicted of influence-peddling. He was convicted in 1998 for accepting over $200,000 to help a businessman obtain government contracts. In 2001, he was granted an unconditional discharge.
. Andrew Thompson resigned in March 1998 after media reports that he spent most of his time in Mexico, attending only 12 of 459 Senate sittings between 1990 and 1997.

Eleven Hours
By Pamela Erens
Lore arrives at the hospital alone—no husband, no partner, no friends. Her birth plan is explicit: she wants no fetal monitor, no IV, no epidural. Franckline, a nurse in the maternity ward—herself on the verge of showing—is patient with the young woman. She knows what it's like to worry that something might go wrong, and she understands the distress when it does. She knows as well as anyone the severe challenge of childbirth, what it does to the mind and the body.
Eleven Hours is the story of two soon-to-be mothers who, in the midst of a difficult labor, are forced to reckon with their pasts and re-create their futures. Lore must disentangle herself from a love triangle; Franckline must move beyond youthful traumas to accept the life that's waiting for her. Pamela Erens travels seamlessly between their begrudging partnership and the memories evoked by so intense an experience: for Lore, of the father of her child and of her former best friend; for Franckline, of the family in Haiti from which she's exiled. At turns urgent and lyrical, Erens's novel is a visceral portrait of childbirth, and a vivid rendering of the way we approach motherhood—with fear and joy, anguish and awe.

Zip-ties, cellphone records and a bloody hand towel helped Auburn police piece together evidence linking a Portland man with the May slaying of Seth Frankel, a well-liked video producer for the city of Kent, according to court documents.
Zip-ties, cellphone records and a bloody hand towel helped Auburn police piece together evidence linking a Portland man with the May slaying of a well-liked video producer for the city of Kent, according to court documents.
The two men dated the same woman, court documents show, but she chose to pursue a relationship with the victim, Seth Frankel, something the suspect was not happy about.
The U.S. Marshals Service in Portland arrested William L. "J.R." Phillip Jr. on suspicion of first-degree murder Friday morning, a day after charges were filed by King County prosecutors and an arrest warrant issued, according to jail and court records.
The 30-year-old was booked into the Multnomah County Jail at 11 a.m. and is being held on $1 million bail, pending his extradition to Washington. He is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 21 at Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Frankel, 41, was found dead in his Auburn duplex on May 22. His girlfriend, who lives in Portland, called Frankel's landlord when she couldn't reach Frankel by phone. The landlord asked a neighbor to check on Frankel, and the neighbor called 911 after looking through a window and seeing Frankel on the living-room floor, charging papers say.
"Frankel's body was covered in blood, and he had obvious incise wounds to his neck," according to charging documents.
In the living room, "there were obvious signs of struggle" and a significant amount of blood, the papers say.
A bloody hand towel and two black zip-ties — one around Frankel's right arm, the other under an overturned coffee table — were found at the scene, charging papers say.
Frankel's girlfriend, who is in her 30s, gave investigators Phillip's name.
She said she had dated Frankel when both were living in California, but broke up when Frankel moved to take a job in Kent, the papers say. The woman later moved to Portland, where she began dating Phillip. She broke off that relationship "after she became reacquainted with the victim and decided to further pursue her relationship with him," charging papers say.
Phillip "was not happy" when the relationship ended, the papers say.
Investigators later determined Phillip uses the same zip-ties at his job at the Oregon State Convention Center, the papers say.
Detectives also used Phillip's cellphone records to track his movements from Portland to Auburn on May 21, and determined that a phone call he placed around the time of Frankel's death was relayed from a cellphone tower within a half-mile of Frankel's house, charging papers say.
On Dec. 1, detectives obtained a search warrant for a sample of Phillip's DNA. On Wednesday, an analyst at the State Patrol Crime Lab notified investigators that Phillip's DNA matched blood found on the hand towel left in Frankel's living room, the papers say.
According to the city of Kent website, Frankel was the city's TV21 program coordinator.

A Coast Guard crew rescued four boaters when their boat capsized 20 miles east of Cape Hatteras Sunday afternoon.
Coast Guard watchstanders received a call from the crew of the vessel at 2:50 p.m. stating they were taking on water.
The Elm was diverted from normal operations and arrived on scene at 3:12 p.m. A Coast Guard rescue boat crew was also launched from Station Cape Hatteras.
"This case represents the effective use of safety equipment, including life jackets and a handheld VHF radio, that saved 4 lives today," said Craig Sanders, a civilian working out of USCG Sector North Carolina.
"The Coast Guard's Rescue 21 system was able to confirm the location of the distressed mariners by triangulating their VHF mayday call, allowing the Elm to arrive on scene before hypothermia could set in."

It is interesting that Ruth Simmons, president emerita of Brown University, will give the keynote speech this Saturday when Katherine Bergeron, a former dean at Brown, is inaugurated here in New London as the 11th president of Connecticut College.
Simmons is the Brown president, who, when the university's host city of Providence was worried about having to declare bankruptcy, came to the rescue.
Brown agreed in 2012 to voluntary payments of $31 million to Providence over 11 years, on top of the $4 million in annual taxes and voluntary payments it already makes to the city.
Brown is "deeply concerned about Providence's financial situation," Simmons said at a May 2012 press conference with the Providence mayor, announcing the tens of millions of dollars in new school aid to the city.
Contrast that to Bergeron, who since taking the helm at Connecticut College in January has turned down a plea from New London's mayor to make even a modest increase in the $12,500 a year it volunteers to its host city.
"The college is not looking to revisit it," Bergeron told a reporter of the $12,500 payments in an article that ran Tuesday.
The question arose because the Connecticut General Assembly has before it proposed legislation that would make colleges and hospitals responsible for their municipal tax bills.
With a property assessment of $213.9 million, some 20 percent or less of Brown's, Connecticut College could owe New London up to $5.8 million in taxes. Under the proposed legislation, the schools and hospitals would get reimbursed by the state instead of the municipalities, a reimbursement rate currently at 33 cents on the dollar.
How is $12,500 a reasonable voluntary payment when that much in taxes is being excused for the college? I think if the city weren't so broke, most residents would like to tell the college to keep its measly $12,500.
Indeed, $12,500 should be an embarrassment to the entire community of Connecticut College, which is becoming a social predator on a poor city, where the median income is under $23,000 a year and a cash-starved school system gets failing grades.
One anonymous reader commented on the story about Bergeron's holding firm at $12,500 that the taxes on the reader's house in New London, on half an acre, are more than that amount.
And you have to presume that city police don't have to respond to that reader's much-taxed house when a student triggers a fire alarm with a dorm-room drug factory or a cafeteria worker is accused of sexual assault.
Simmons set up her generous voluntary payment schedule with Providence - one not unlike significant contributions by other schools, including Connecticut's Yale University - despite a provision of a 1764 Colonial charter in Rhode Island that says Brown should be free and exempt from all taxes.
Clearly, the stewards of more enlightened institutions understand 21st century economics and the challenges faced by the small impoverished cities that have hosted them all these years.
They also seem to understand why it is better to volunteer to help than to be made to pay.
I think people are already weary of rich colleges and hospitals saying they do their share for the poor cities that host them, because they are job creators and their employees and students volunteer in the community.
Residents also volunteer and give back to their communities. And they pay taxes that go toward police, firefighter and teacher salaries.
And there is nothing to say the people who earn those big salaries - Lawrence + Memorial Hospital has more than a dozen executives who make more than $200,000, according to its 2012 tax return - don't live in the suburbs outside New London.
Former Connecticut College President Claire Gaudiani was roundly criticized for her interference in New London politics and investment of college money in the city.
But who can't respect her often-repeated goal of social justice and improving life in an impoverished city that, once upon a time, generously laid out the vision of a shining college on the hill.
Little did New Londoners know then they were establishing a gilded enclave of arrogance.
