This essay film by Manu Luksch, Martin Reinhart and Thomas Tode, narrated by Tilda Swinton, traces the desires and anxieties of today's hyper-connected world back more than a hundred years, when telephone, film and television were new. As revolutionary then as contemporary social media is today, early electric media sparked a fervent utopianism in the public imagination – promising total communication, the annihilation of distance, an end to war. But then, too, there were fears over the erosion of privacy, security, morality. Using rare archival material from nearly 200 films to articulate the present, DREAMS REWIRED reveals a history of hopes to share, and betrayals to avoid.

The sun was shining down on the golden tall grass, softly blowing in the breeze coming off the Pacific Ocean and reaching up through the canyons. Laughter filled the air as workers hustled about, setting the scene for one magical day. The ladies sipped champagne while the beautiful bride, as calm as can be, anxiously awaited the moment she would see her husband-t0-be for the first time. The men joked and laughed, getting in one last jab at the groom while he put the finishing touches on his bowtie and boutonniere. The rest of the day, as they say, was history.
We're so incredibly honored and humbled that the Figueroa Farmhouse Wedding of Tiffani and Justin would be featured today on Style Me Pretty, the most influential wedding blog in the country.

With spring comes minor changes at city hall.
City human resources and community development manager Theresa Kingston has become the director of corporate services, while city parks and recreation director Scott Kenny has added heritage to his portfolio.
Kingston will also continue with her work as deputy city manager, a role she took on after predecessor Russell Dyson left in 2011.
These two job changes come at no additional cost to the taxpayer and have no impact on this year's budget.
"It's a redistribution of duties," Kingston said. "It's a lateral move."
The corporate services department will include human resources, community development, occupational health and safety, emergency preparedness, sustainability and information services.
The parks, recreation and heritage department will include the parks and recreation, as well as heritage and culture.
"It's something we were aware would be happening," Kenny said. "It takes us back to 1998, when the museum was part of the parks and recreation department."
The big changes are that information services manager Jeff Pelech will report to Kingston, while Alberni Valley museum director Jamie Morton will report to Kenny.
Moreover, the museum budget will be merged with the parks, recreation and heritage budget, while the information services budget will be merged with the corporate services budget.
Morton will also not continue former Alberni Museum director Jean McIntosh's duty of presenting a monthly report during council meeting. It will instead be incorporated into Kenny's monthly report.
The changes had been recommended by a consulting firm two years ago during a management organizational structure and management compensation review undertaken by the city.
City council had requested the report to be done in order to see if the city had too many managers and if the department distribution was efficient.
The consulting firm came to the conclusion that city manager Ken Watson's scope of supervision had to be reduced.
"It was beyond what was recommended," Kingston said. While the consulting firm had recommended that the museum and heritage department be merged with the newly created corporate services department, Watson suggested adding to the parks and recreation department during his budget presentation in March.
Kingston noted the job changes would also not be felt by Port Alberni residents.

How much formula should you feed your baby?
I have a almost 5wk old and it seems he is so hungry that every three or four days we have been slightly increasing his formula. We are now up to 5ozs and I'm just wondering if this was the "right" thing to do....We have changed his formula because he was having issues with his poop being too hard and changed it to the Gentelease but now it seems it's not enough food ...like it's not holding him from being hungry...Does anyone have suggestions? This was supposed to help with gas and fussiness as well but I didn't see any change maybe for the worst but not for the good...Does anyone have suggestions?....Thanks! :)

hey, When my baby boy was born, i was very keen on breastfeeding only..I continued till he was two months old. But he was always hungry and on me. i fed him with my expressed milk s well but not of much use.So i introduced formula milk as wee, i was feeling very guilty as i m not able to satisfy my baby' hunger. But he seems to be happy with his full stomach. Now he is 3 months old , i give him breastmilk and formula milk both.posted 01/18/2011 by mommywaiting1
I would say you feed your baby whenever she/he is hungry and until they don't want anymore. My baby girl is just about 3 months old and weighs almost 9 lbs, she eats randomly anywhere from 1-2 oz at a time to 5-6. She eats when she's hungry and I believe that's when you should eat, only your body knows when you're hungry, baby's grow VERY quickly and growing kiddos need to eat! Good luck everyone ;)posted 01/13/2011 by rhill7
Although I believe breast milk would be best, I've not ever had the supply I need to keep my baby thriving. We have 5 children and have found Nestle Good Start with the comfort proteins to be the least offensive to the baby's digestion. With the first 2 we had started with other formula's and had many of the troubles described above fussy, gassy, constipated. When we switched to the Good Start we have had much better results. My current infant is on NEOSURE due to calorie needs resulting from failure to thrive due to a heart defect. This formula has helped with calories, but very much contributed to her discomfort in constipation. The Hospital gave us a laxative powder to put in her bottles when she's having trouble.posted 01/12/2011 by angmccourt
My baby was about the same age as yours when we switched to Similac Sensitive because he was really gassy with Similac Advance but we had the same problem as you. He would alway be hungry. It seemed that the new formula was too light and it didn't help with the gas. We ended up buying the gas drops and it made a huge difference. Now we are giving him Good Start because it was a little cheaper than Enfamil or Similac but its making his gas really stinky. Not sure if its the new milk or just part of his digestive development.posted 01/09/2011 by nievesderom
We had an issue wtih pooping as well with our son and we ended up putting a teaspoon of dark Karol syrup in his bottle as needed. some times we used it only once a day, others two to 3 times a day. so maybe you can switch back to the old formula and use karol syrup with a bottle or two.posted 01/07/2011 by erin157
well, I have a friend that has a 5weeks old baby boy,and he takes 6 onz every time that he eats. so I guess it depends on da baby!posted 12/30/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
My son is 2m and 1 wk and eats 6oz every 4 hoursposted 12/27/2010 by babybluinu
It really depends on your baby. Honestly my daughter was eating 6 oz at about 3-4 months and doc said it was ok as long as the timing between it was good. she was eat every 3-4 hours. she is now 6 months still eating 6 oz, eats solid, every 3-4 hrs. she sleeps through the night and the doc says shes a very healthy baby. Honestly my mom always taught me to just go with my instincts and if she is drinking the bottle she s hungry. When my daughter is full she pushes out with her tongue. Go with your instinct you are the best judge for your child. all the advice in the world and you still may not be satisfied. Oh one more thing my daughter is 6 months and doc says though she is eating solids she still needs to get 28 ounces of formula within 24 hrsposted 12/23/2010 by babyfat2
My baby is 8 weeks old and still very skinny ,what do i do?.even though he is not sickposted 12/19/2010 by mikolo06
Our pediatrician told us to feed baby as much, and as often as he wants to eat. Babies cannot 'overeat', that is a learned behavior way down the road.posted 12/16/2010 by jessicakatz

Senior members of the German government are leaning heavily on EU member states, warning "that German automakers could scale back or scrap production plans in their countries unless they support weakened carbon emissions rules," Reuters writes. Cabinet members are said to focus their strong-arming on EU countries that recently have been bailed-out, mostly with German money. "They have tried everything at the highest level to pressure member states, in particular countries in the bailout club, to support their proposals," a diplomat told Reuters. The EU Parliament is set to finalize rules that set a 95g CO2 / km limit by 2020.
The fight however seems not so much a quest for cleaner air than an underhanded fight for more breathing room for the auto industries of some member states. (Read More…)

Recently, the folks at Men's Health set out to find exactly where in America the dreaded heart disease resides the most.

"Marketing solutions is probably the biggest topic of conversation this year," said Randy Reece, analyst at Avondale Partners. "Everyone noticed how Facebook (FB) went from zero mobile advertising revenue to having it be more than 40% of its total advertising revenue within a very short period of time.
"And LinkedIn (LNKD) recently introduced its first significant efforts to sell advertising in the mobile format," Reece said. "So, in 2014, whatever advertising revenue comes in from mobile will be incremental to what the company did this year."
Growth And Green
The social networker has several areas of growth focus — among them mobile, collegiate and international expansion. LinkedIn's stock offering, to increase the company's "financial flexibility," according to the prospectus, could go not only toward organic expansion and general purposes but also for strategic acquisitions. The offering priced at $223 apiece for 5.4 million shares late Wednesday, with option for underwriters to buy about another 807,000, which would boost the offering to a total as high as $1.35 billion. It's expected to close on Tuesday Sept. 10.
During the most recent quarter, LinkedIn saw its mobile activity increase. Its mobile home page engagement rose over 40%, while social actions, article views and mobile profile edits also accelerated.
It is continuing to ramp up sponsored updates on the mobile platform where advertisers can place relevant content within LinkedIn's mobile news feed.
LinkedIn's marketing solutions represented 24% of total revenue in the past quarter. Mobile advertising took up an even smaller share.
"The company is deliberately restraining its mobile ad inventory right now while it tests different aspects of the program," Reece said. "Exactly how to sell this, how to price it, how much advertising to allow without annoying members — there are a lot of things to figure out. So, LinkedIn is trying to go slowly."
That said, analysts view LinkedIn as relatively better-positioned for the accelerating shift to mobile compared with many other Internet companies.
An emerging theme is how the shift to mobile devices negatively impacts near-term monetization, says Tom White, analyst at Macquarie Research, in a research report.
"Generally speaking, for many online advertising and e-commerce-focused companies, mobile Internet sessions monetize at significantly lower rates than desktop Internet sessions," he said. "Google (GOOG) and Facebook are two of the more well-publicized recent examples of this trend."
The ability for customers to access various services while they are away from their desks via mobile devices increases the utility and value proposition of LinkedIn's various products, notes White.
Mobile, however, isn't the only monetization avenue LinkedIn is pursuing.
The largest revenue generator is the talent solutions division. This is where the company sells access to its data to recruiters, staffing agencies and human resource departments. Its revenue jumped 69% to $205 million in the last quarter vs. a year ago. It represented 56% of LinkedIn's total revenue.
"That's really probably the crown jewel business of LinkedIn," White said. "They really disrupted the legacy staffing model and recruiting model by enabling recruiters to run very targeted, pinpoint searches for candidates and really tap into passive job candidates at a scale that was much more difficult for recruiters to do in the past."
Its flagship product is the "LinkedIn Recruiter." In exchange for an annual seat license of approximately $8,000, it gives recruiters access to LinkedIn's entire database of 238 million professional profiles. As a result, hiring managers are not limited to the "three-degree" depth of connections that comes with a standard membership. Instead, they can perform searches by job function, geographic location, industry, education and other metrics.
"This is by far the largest, freshest database of professional and technical workers in the world," Reece said. "Virtually all of the competition appeals almost exclusively to active job seekers; and employers who want to hire the best-of-the-best need to be able to find not only people looking for a job, but also people who are already employed and excelling. LinkedIn is the best way to find them."
Hiring A Driver
In their revenue growth model, Cowen & Co. analysts John Blackledge and Thomas Champion see LinkedIn achieving a compound annual growth rate of 31.4% this year through 2018 from the hiring solutions category, ahead of premium subscriptions at 28.4% and marketing solutions at 22.4%.
To address its fastest-growing demographic of college students, LinkedIn introduced its newest product called University Pages. And it is also lowering the minimum age to become a member from 18 to 14 in the U.S.
University Pages is targeted at existing college students as well as high-school students who are aspiring college candidates. This could help universities engage more with their students as well as with their vast alumni networks. Currently, college students make up about 15% of LinkedIn membership base.
"This is another really interesting development that could have fascinating upside potential," Reece said. "It is a natural fit."
International is another area where LinkedIn has opportunity to increase the monetization of its services. The company is present in over 200 countries and is available in 19 languages. Its major markets are the U.K., Western Europe, Australia and Canada. The fastest-growing regions are in Latin America, Southern Europe and Asia-Pacific.
While 65% of its members come from outside of the U.S., that segment generates only about 36% of LinkedIn revenue.
"They are still waiting for evidence that they can ramp up revenue from their non-U.S. markets," White said. "On paper, I think that there's no reason that international monetization shouldn't improve."
Analysts view the management as very strong. "It's hard to argue with the execution in terms of the financials. These guys have consistently exceeded investor expectations quarter after quarter," White noted. "Things are clearly volatile and dynamic in this industry. I think LinkedIn has been able to avoid a lot of the huge volatility in their stock," he said.
LinkedIn stock is up 120% this year through early Friday afternoon. The highly rated company is the fourth largest firm in IBD's Internet-Content industry group, after Google, Facebook and China search engine firm Baidu (BIDU). It's before Yahoo (YHOO). The group ranks No. 10 out of 197 groups IBD tracks.
Six of the last seven quarters, LinkedIn has delivered triple-digit percentage earnings growth year over year, at 38 cents a share in the June quarter. Revenue of $363.7 million was up 59% from a year ago, representing a deceleration from triple-digit percentage revenue gains the company enjoyed from 2010 into 2012.

Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
I voted!! Good luck to your buddy!

I only have room for one bike, which is my Seven Odonata. I'd like to trick it out with a really well designed baby seat, which I'd use to take my 1 year old on great 10-20 mile rides.
The frame doesn't have eyelets or anything, so I'm looking for a bike seat that would somehow just clamp directly to the frame or seat tube.
Fancy european brands encouraged. The frame had drop bars, so it would need to mounted on the rear, right?

The Sarif Industries logo is from their fan page and i just added it and blended it a bit just to fit the backround. Not sure about the becoming closer to god-line. Could be quite corny for some

Let's hope they're friendly
Bruce Leonard Cathie (1930–2013) [Wikipedia; obituary] was a pilot for the New Zealand National Airways Corporation. After a mysterious aerial encounter in 1952, he spent decades plotting UFO sightings, scrutinising ham radio operators, and developing an esoteric theory of reality involving UFOs, a regular worldwide grid system, anti-gravity [content advisory: gratuitous use of Matrix soundtrack], complex mathematics, and the geometric properties of atomic bomb detonations.

If Bigfoot is Real, Where are the Bodies? On the UFOs, obviously!
In 1979, scientist Kewaunee Lapseritis was first telepathically contacted by a Sasquatch and an ET simultaneously, which was the shock of his life! To further complicate matters, the contact changed him and he developed psychic ability overnight, which triggered a spiritual transformation. Psychic Sasquatch covers the intersection of hairy hominids, UFOs, and psychic ability. Lapseritis' first book, The Psychic Sasquatch and their UFO Connection was recently featured in The New Yorker.

Bug-Eyed Monsters via the Martens Process
Robert Martens, whose homegrown animations (including adaptations of the Mars Attacks cards, Herbie Popnecker, Jack T. Chick and Struwwelpeter) have been featured here previously, has used his distinctive style of limited animation to create UFOLOGY 101 - Space Spooks and Looney Goons, a weird and charming satirical anthology animation about the history of UFOlogy. References include the celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg in 1561, the claims of George Adamski, and the better-known incidents involving Roswell and Jonestown.
This Week In UFOs
After the damp squib that was the X-Files miniseries, UFOs have had a mostly good week. Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers admitted he saw one and Hillary Clinton pledges to get to the bottom of the mystery. Renewed interest in UFOs even reached the petty criminal demographic as a display piece was stolen from the UFO Museum in Roswell, NM this week.
How Mysteries of the Unknown came to be, finally explained!
"I never would have believed it, until one night I woke up around three o'clock in the morning. I felt something cold against my shoulder. It was the ceiling. I was looking down at my own body." Julianne Moore and other actors ask you to think about "the paranormal, one of the biggest issues of our age" in this ad for Time-Life Mysteries of the Unknown series of books. Curious about unexplained phenomenon? Tales of events, dismissed as chance, coincidence, or imagination, but what if they aren't? How could you explain it? How did these ads (if not the books) get so popular? Fittingly enough, it may have just been fated in the stars. [more inside]

Fortunately Firaxis did a "very very good" job with it's XCOM: Enemy Unknown" , though Gollop would have done a few things differently. A sequel, XCOM 2, is on the way, and will show "what happens when you lose Enemy Unknown.> [more inside]

Roughly 2.5 percent of the population effectively admit to one or the other. [more inside]

the truth is.. hovering over skegness
For the first time since closing its dedicated UFO desk in December, the Ministry of Defence today released online records of all recorded UK UFO sightings between 1994 and 2000. It should be noted that the MOD itself remains sceptical at best, despite frequent recorded sightings of a mysterious blue police box.
Go topless... and let me tell you about some UFOs
The second annual National Go Topless Protest Day will be held this Sunday, August 23, in various American cities. It happens to be run by Raelians, members of a UFO religion founded by Rael, a former French sports-car journalist and test driver born Claude Vorilhon. (Coverage of last year's protest in New York City, which is, as one might suspect, NSFW.) Though the current "Go Topless!" site talks more about women's rights than Raelism, in 2004, Raelian women were marching topless not for the legalization of bare breastedness, but against "the repressive Myth of God." Don't remember the Raelians? This is just the most recent stunt by the publicity-hungry group that capitalizes on media-friendly controversy: in 2002, during the slow news week between Christmas and New Year's Day, they announced the creation of the first human clone, gaining what Rael estimated at over $500 million of free media coverage. In an interview, Rael unabashedly discusses his passion for publicity. [more inside]

Roswell Redux
We all know the UFO Festival is coming, but with it just a week away also comes fresh news of the crash itself. Walter Haut, the former PR man at Roswell Army Airfield, filled out an affidavit in 1993 detailing his experience with the crash. But nine years later Haut secretly filled out another, much more detailed, affidavit that was to be sealed until after his death. One with much heavier implications. Seeing as how this information was first released in book form, are we looking at a postmortem fame grab or a genuinely guilty conscience?
the Amazing Roswell UFO Festival
LOOK UP! (or down, if you happen to be reading from one of these. The annual "Amazing Roswell UFO Festival" happens this weekend, and it looks like
people - er, visitors - are coming from all over! Who knew back in 1947 that this little incident would be the start of an entire sub-culture? Well, for me the fascination started with two of the the greatest UFO movies ever. For my grandparents, it started with one of the greatest radio broadcasts ever. But hey, there's no need to rely on fiction when we have one of the most insanely great UFO videos of all time provided by none other than the Mexican Government! Seen anything strange in the sky yourself lately? If so, you'd better report it here.
Arise, ye prisoners of delusion! Arise, ye whackjobs of the Earth!
Have you ever run into Trotskyites before? You know, those dour, uptight dudes handing out free papers at demonstrations? They can spout some pretty colorful rhetoric but apart from that, most of them lead dull, constricted lives devoted to Party meetings and getting out the Party newspaper. Juan Posadas was the exception to this rule. Señor Posadas was a high-octane Trotskyite superfreak who advocated a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the USA in order to hasten the proletarian revolution. He looked to the skies and saw UFOs as evidence of the triumph of communism on other planets. Fidel Castro banned the Cuban section of his movement for trying to organize an attack on the U.S. base at Guantanamo. They don't make 'em like Posadas anymore. That's for sure. (If you're curious, there's an archive of his works stored here. And some people are still keeping the faith.)
Emperor Penguins Uber Alles!
Why are political extremists so interested in UFOs? The Nation of Islam has its "Great Mother Wheels." Their melanin-challenged brethren in the Neo-Nazi movement have the myth of Neu Schwabenland, an Antarctic redoubt where the remnants of the Third Reich fled after the war, with the U.S. military in hot pursuit. There, hidden among the ice and the Emperor Penguins, the frostbitten Aryans plotted to reconquer the world. To that end, they created a fleet of UFOs, using top-secret Nazi technology that They don't want you to know about. Nizkor has recreated pamphlets published by the Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel on this topic, one of which includes a helpful list of German phrases to be used during an encounter of the Third Kind. (This myth is also covered in the eighth chapter of this book.)

"White people call them Unidentified Flying Objects." This blog covers the incorporation of contemporary UFO myths into the Nation of Islam's peculiar pigmentational eschatology.

After the torment, it snaps like rubber back to its original shape, all the while conducting electricity like solid metal." Sounds familiar, no? Here's the son of the Roswell air field's intel officer, describing the debris he says he saw in 1947: "It was possible to flex this stuff back and forth, even to wrinkle it, but you could not put a crease in it that would stay, nor could you dent it at all. I would almost have to describe it as a metal with plastic properties." The UFO freaks are already all over the "back engineering" of Roswell crash debris. Meanwhile, there's something unusual in the sky over Minnesota right now.

UFO's from India?
Did UFO's originate in Ancient India? According to Indian legend, the kingdom of Rama existed at the same time as the lost kingdom of Atlantis. Both kingdoms developed airships that could fly not only between countries, but also into outerspace. The Indian ships, called Vimanas, are described in many ancient manuscripts, and perhaps most spectacularly in the Mahabarata, in which some believe there is a description of an ancient nuclear war. Is it possible that such technology could have been lost in antiquity, or kept in the posession of some "secret society"? Fascinating stuff...

In fact, he says, the loonies may be right! He thinks there probably are saucerlike flying objects, but they're not alien, they're made in the USA (who got the technology from the Nazi's - who else?). He even goes so far as to suggest that the CIA has a program to discredit people who see UFO's. I like my stories rich, and this one is very rich. (via Atlantic Unbound)

I think you need Pastore more than any of the others. It is clear that there is no creativity in your aging midfield. When I have seen your games, creativity has usually come from wide, from Malouda. Apart from that, you don't have a decent play-maker. I thought that was why Ramires was bought, but he is clearly just another work-horse that offers little in terms of creativity. Arsenal's midfield is far superior in terms of creativity.

Olivier Giroud facing 4 months out for Arsenal
LONDON (AP) — Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud faces four months on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on a broken tibia.
The France international was injured in a 2-2 draw with Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, seconds after scoring.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Giroud isn't likely to be back in action until the end of December.
The news was a setback for Arsenal after beating Besiktas 1-0 to qualify for the Champions League group stage on Wednesday.

BOSTON � An elbow to the head showed Mikhail Grabovski what playoff hockey is like.
Early in his postseason debut, Toronto�s center took the blow along the boards from Andrew Ference, who was suspended for one game after an NHL hearing on Thursday.
poll goes here
Grabovski was leveled by another hard hit in the third period Wednesday night as the teams kept pounding each other the rest of the game � and even afterward.
Players were still on the ice after the Bruins� 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs in the series opener when Boston�s Chris Kelly and Toronto�s Leo Komarov squared off near the penalty box.
�I don�t think we mind it,� Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid said. �It�s the playoffs and the physicality kind of steps up a level. So you�re playing the same team over and over again. You get some good battles going.�
Ference wasn�t penalized at the time for hitting Grabovski but will miss Saturday night�s second game. The defenseman would be eligible to return for Game 3 in Toronto on Monday night.
But Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle knows physical play is part of the sport � especially in the playoffs.
�To me, those are hits in the game,� said Carlyle, who broke into the NHL with the rugged Maple Leafs in the mid-1970s and had 210 penalty minutes with Winnipeg in 1987-88. �Sometimes in the playoffs, you�re going to see physicality. It�ll be front and center. It�s a game that�s made to be physical. You�re allowed to hit people. To judge if it was offside, a bad hit, or a belligerent hit, that�s not for me to judge. That�s for people in the league to make those determinations.�
Meanwhile, that style is likely to continue after the Bruins� dominant performance in the opener.
�I expect them to come out very hard, physical and they�re going to be coming at us full-force,� Boston�s Johnny Boychuk said.
That�s just part of what the Maple Leafs must do to even the best-of-seven series.
�We didn�t play strong enough, and we didn�t win enough one-on-one battles,� Carlyle said. �We didn�t do enough with the puck to create anything. We just constantly turned the puck over.�
After James van Riemsdyk put the Maple Leafs ahead 1-0 on a power play just 1:54 into the game, the Maple Leafs had few solid chances.
Phil Kessel continued to struggle against the team that traded him to Toronto in 2009. He had just one shot after leading his team with 20 goals and 52 points in the regular season. In 23 games against the Bruins, he has three goals and six assists.
And, as usual, he was jeered by Bruins fans.
�I didn�t really pay attention to it,� Kessel said.
Both teams struggled late in the season. Boston lost seven of its last nine games and Toronto dropped four of its last six.
But Bruins coach Claude Julien had seen signs of improvement despite the losses. Carlyle is still waiting for them.
So he planned to deliver a direct message to his players:
�Accept responsibility for the way we played. Take these next two days and focus on how we can play faster and better, from a puck-moving standpoint. Our focus has to be to simplify our game, and there are some things that we did that are totally, totally unacceptable.�
The Bruins had twice as many shots on goal, 40-20. Many of those the Maple Leafs did take were hardly challenging.
�They didn�t have too many chances there, just a couple of tips and stuff like that,� Boston goalie Tuukka Rask said after his 14th playoff game, �but I�m not going to take a break there even if we�re up 10-0 because you never know what�s going to happen.�
Toronto goalie James Reimer said he wasn�t surprised by anything in his first postseason game.
�I felt like I was well-prepared and ready to go,� he said. �The crowd is more into it, so there�s a little more intensity, so you have to find a way to keep calm no matter which way the game is swinging. �
Or how physical it gets.
�Whatever happens, happens. Our game plan doesn�t change,� Boston�s Dennis Seidenberg said. �We want to be physical, and we play in between the whistles, and whatever happens after I�m sure we�ve got a lot of guys who can take care of themselves.�

Warriors Future Leaders - 1/15/13
January 16, 2013

Back Next
In recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday and National Mentoring Month, the Warriors hosted ten 11th and 12th graders from the Career Exploration program at Skyline High School as a part of the Future Leaders program.
As they arrived they were welcomed to the Warriors executive offices and practice facility by Warriors television and radio analyst, and NBA veteran, Jim Barnett.
While the students ate lunch Jim spoke to them about his days playing in the NBA and how that helped him transition into his TV analyst role.
Jim encouraged the students to strive to reach their goals.
After lunch, the students were treated to a tour of the executive offices and practice facility from Director of Facilities, Ricky Jones.
During the tour the students were able to see where the business and the basketball side of the Warriors merge into one.
After the tour, the students were broken up into smaller groups to shadow staff members from various departments such as marketing ...
... ticket services ...
... ticket sales ...
... game operations ...
... finance ...
... communications ...
... and corporate partnerships.
This gave the students the opportunity to ask additional in-depth questions to find out more about the different departments. Each student was given a special Warriors notebook to record important notes throughout the day.
Each Warriors staff member spoke about their profession, passions, and dedication to their day-to-day Warriors responsibilities.
The students gathered together after their one-on-one breakout sessions to spend time with Warriors player Andrew Bogut, who shared with them what his dreams and visions were growing up.
Andrew spoke about his journey from Australia to college and finally to the NBA. He explained to the students that because of his hard work and education, he was able to achieve his goals.
At the end of the Q&A, Andrew surprised the student who collected the most business cards with an autographed jersey.
No one went home empty-handed as Andrew passed out Warriors gift bags to all the students.
The students left with a better understanding of the different careers available in the sports industry, as well as what goes on behind the scenes. Special thanks to Skyline High School in Oakland and their Career Exploration program for making the event a huge success.

Fun Facts about Mike
Mike Voorheis
Mike Voorheis
I, 40 is a way for Mike to embrace turning 40 and share the experience with the readers. Forced to look bluntly at what he's experienced in 39+ years and realizing that he's missed out on a lot, he vowed to make changes and experience new things.
In his 12 years with the StarNews, the Ohio native has been sports editor and a member of the features department before joining the copy desk.
While not in a position to hike the Himalayas or visit an African orphanage, Mike can do a flip into a pool. He can learn the salsa. And he can step outside of his comfort zone with a purpose
The readers, hopefully, will be inspired to come along for the ride and maybe they will find the courage to cross a few items off their own bucket lists.

Hmmm. I don't remember recently changing a setting for autofocus, but I'll check my custom functions when I get home. I changed some of my video setups in my user modes, but those shouldn't have effected the regular modes. Thx.

" After reading other reviews, I was disappointed. The room and bathroom did not smell clean, the shower had poor drainage and flooded the bathroom, toilet paper was in short supply, curtains were too small for the windows, and a lot of street noise. Thin mattress and cleanliness of linens also questionable. On the positive side, the lockers seemed secure, the wifi worked perfect, and breakfast was okay for the price. Decent for one night but wouldn't have wanted to stay longer. "- Nimetön

April Goals Monday and Tuesday
Wednesday, April 03, 2013
I posted my blog on Monday that I was setting myself a weight goal of 217 pounds on April 27. There were a ton of comments on my blog, thanks so much to everyone who posted for all of the support. One of my longest Sparkfriends AGINGDAISIES is celebrating her birthday and her 5th Sparkversary on that day, so I am going to work even harder to reach my goal so we can celebrate together! It will be a birthday gift for her in addition to all of the good it will do for me!
Review Monday
1. Track my food. I did indeed track my food on Monday. 2/7(I count my week as from Saturday to Saturday, so Monday is day 3 of my SP week. I did not track on Sunday.)
2. Stay in range 7 days a week. I was 4 calories below the bottom, but I count that as being in range. 2/7
3. Walk for a minimum of 20 minutes daily. Walked for 30 minutes on the TM. 2/7
Great day, had family visit and we ordered out for supper. Swiss Chalet, made pretty good choices, went for side salad and 1/3 rack of ribs instead of 1/2 with my chicken leg. Being very busy meant that I had no time to eat mindlessly.
Review Tuesday
1.Track my food every single day. I tracked my food this morning, we were out all day. 3/7
2.Stay in range 7 days a week. Not even close. We went to the Blue Jays Home Opener, and I really had limited choices to eat there. I ate well for lunch, but ended up blowing my range with my meal on the way home at McDonalds. Live and learn! 2/7
3.Walk for a minimum of 20 minutes daily. Walked for 35 minutes before we left, and we walked a lot in Toronto not to mention all the way up to the 500 level plus up and down the stairs to the top of the level 4 or 5 times for our seats. 3/7
My book club was today, and it was a terrific morning discussing Let The Great World Spin by Colum McCann. Then, we gathered up and headed to Toronto since we live a long drive away from the big city. The Jays lost, but it was a good experience with the park so full and the opening ceremonies were inspiring. They brought a giant Canada flag out onto the field for the singing of O'Canada, I am so proud to be Canadian! We arrived home very late, and I went straight to sleep.

Boston will try to build on Friday's success, as the Red Sox continue a four-game series against the Cleveland Indians at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox ended a six-game home losing streak last night, as Dustin Pedroia went 3-for-4 with three runs batted in and a run scored, helping Boston to a 7-5 win.
Clay Buchholz (4-1) went 6 1/3 innings and gave up three earned runs on eight hits to help Boston halt its skid.
Adrian Gonzalez hit two doubles and walked twice in his four plate appearances and Ryan Sweeney went 2-for-5 at the plate to help Boston end its three-game overall losing streak. Boston may be without David Ortiz, who left Friday's game with a sore left heel.
The Red Sox are still 2-8 in their last 10 games and have a lot of work to do to work their way out of the basement in the AL East.
"Very disappointed," said Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine. "Couldn't be more disappointed is the bad news. And the good news is it's going to get a lot better, and I think it's going to do that real soon. I see the fight in the guys. I see what we have out there. Against the competition, I think we will prevail."
Friday's win provided optimism for the usually-contending Red Sox.
"Today we were able to get a win and get things going in the direction that everyone here obviously wants to get going," Red Sox left fielder Daniel Nava said.
Boston will be attempting to win back-to-back games for the first time since April 28, when it defeated the Chicago White Sox to earn its final victory of a six-game winning streak.
Felix Doubront (2-1) will take the mound Saturday and aims to follow-up Buchholz's winning performance. Doubront picked up a win his last time out after he went a season high 6 1/3 innings while giving up seven hits and four earned runs to Kansas City on May 7. The lefty has a 5.29 ERA, but has shown potential so far in his first season as a full-time starter.
Cleveland, meanwhile, sits at the top of the AL Central standings and has a 10-4 record on the road.
The Indians will send right-hander Josh Tomlin to the mound tonight as they try to avoid back-to-back losses on the road in 2012. In his last start, Tomlin went 7 1/3 innings and struck out eight batters while holding the White Sox to two runs. Tomlin is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts versus the Red Sox.
Cleveland's second baseman Jason Kipnis is 4-of-9 at the plate with a home run and three runs scored in the first two games of the series. Asdrubal Cabrera has scored three of the four times he has been on base in the series.
Former Boston outfielder Johnny Damon extended his hitting streak at Fenway Park to seven games with a seventh inning single on Friday. But the Indians' leadoff man is struggling since joining the team on May 1.
"He's had some good swings," Cleveland manager Manny Acta said. "He's hit some balls hard. Hopefully he starts contributing for us."
Cleveland was 6-4 last season versus the Red Sox.

Course overview
The Graduate Certificate course is designed to prepare nurses to meet the complex challenges within the speciality practice area of perioperative nursing and to progressively build upon knowledge and skills to explore the specific roles within perioperative nursing practice. The course responds to the demands of industry and partnership/collaborating hospitals for nurses with sophisticated perioperative specialty skills and knowledge.
The use of learning technologies such as CloudDeakin, teleconferencing, eLive, and iLectures will facilitate student engagement in a large proportion of the specialist units.
A compulsory introductory five-day program at Burwood (Melbourne) is normally held in the second week of February.
On completion of the Graduate Certificate course, students wishing to continue studies must enrol in H771 Master of Nursing Practice. Credit will be granted for units completed in the Graduate Certificate of Nursing Practice (Perioperative).
The Master of Nursing Practice (by coursework) may be entered directly from a Graduate Certificate of Nursing Practice (Perioperative) [requires an additional 8 credit points of study] or following completion of a Graduate Diploma of Nursing Practice (Perioperative) [requires an additional 4 credit points of study].
Students wishing to complete the Master of Nursing Practice by research and undertake the 4-credit-point minor thesis must have completed HNN727 Research in Nursing and Midwifery, and must achieve a Distinction or above for 75% of the units undertaken in the Graduate Diploma of Nursing Practice specialty course.
Clinical practice
