For this job, you will need:
- 50mm x 50mm x 600mm stakes
- 50mm x 25mm battening
- 65mm lost head nails
- 2 x 30M tapes
- A 3M steel tape
- A ball of white string or string line
- A bag of lime
- A club hammer
- A claw hammer
- A saw
- A calculator
- A pencil
STRIP any vegetation away from the site of the proposed building. Study the plans for fixed points from which you can measure, such as the boundary. Measure the distance on the plan to these fixed points and put up a string line between two stakes set beyond the proposed building. Using the external dimensions of the proposed structure, put a stake in at the first corner of the building and tack a nail in the top, leaving it proud by about 25mm. Hook one of the long tapes on to that nail and measure out the length of the first wall along the string line to a second stake.
Bang it in, checking it for position and upright as you go. Carefully measure and put a proud nail in the top. Many builders use a 3:4:5 triangulation to set right angles. This is notoriously inaccurate over distance and it is better to triangulate using Pythagorean theorem. Multiply the length of each of the two outside walls by themselves and add the two answers together. The square root of the addition is the length of their diagonal.
Hook a tape on each of the two stakes and holding them both, one to measure the diagonal and one to measure the next outside wall measurement, position the third stake. Bang this in and then carefully measure with each of the tapes to position the nail in the top.
Repeat the process for the fourth stake to form the square or rectangle and then check that the resultant distance between the third and fourth stake is correct. Complex shapes should be broken down into handy rectangles or squares.
Stretch a string line around the nails to mark the shape of the building. This needs to be transposed to profiles. Sight down each line and firmly bang in two stakes about 450mm apart so as to straddle any continuation of the line beyond the working area. Fix a 600mm length of batten across the top of the pair.
Repeat this at both ends of every line. Hook a string line on the first corner's nail and take it beyond the second corner to the profile. Pull tight and sight down it until it crosses the second nail. Mark the profile with a nail where the line crosses it. Repeat this for every profile. Internal foundation walls can be marked by measurement from the external string lines and profiles put up, if necessary.
To find centre dig, measure half the thickness of the proposed wall along the profile (moving inwards) and mark with a nail. Put the lines to centre dig and using an upright spirit level and a straight edge, mark the ground with lime for the digger to work to.

 The first ever GNOME.Asia Summit was held at the Beihang university, Beijing, China, from October 18th to 19th, 2008. The GNOME Foundation was the organizer of GNOME.Asia Summit in collaboration with Sun Microsystems, Beijing Linux User Group (BLUG) and China OSS Promotion Union (COPU). This premier event was very well attended:  318 people attended the first day, and 212 people attended the second day. The majority of the attendees (2/3) were from universities, the remainder from companies. Ninety percent of the participants were local (from China) with the remainder from other countries. We had 46 volunteers from Beijing Linux Users Group, Beijing OpenSolaris Users Group, OpenParty, Beihang university, Beiyou university and many individual contributors, they helped us in many ways including registration, guidance, emcees, photography and video.

This year, there were total 42 speakers, 70% were local speakers and 30% of them were from other countries, including USA, Finland and Singapore etc. There were 46 talks over the two days of the summit. The talks covered several topics, including: accessibility, mobility, i18n, community, development and deployment. Each day started with a general session in the morning and was followed by 5 tracks in the afternoon. For more details, refer to the schedule on the summit website. Most of the slides have been uploaded to the website, as well as speakers' bios and photos.

We had many sponsors for the first GNOME.Asia Summit. Sun Microsystems sponsored the summit at gold level. We had three silver sponsors: Nokia, Motorola and Mozilla. Red Hat sponsored the Summit at bronze level. We also had one local sponsor, Lemote, who sponsored the summit by providing three Lemote Laptops for the lucky-draw program. Google sponsored the summit by providing gifts to participants. Finally, CSDN and Programmer Magazine were media partners. We are grateful for the great support we received from all of our sponsors.

We had 7 booths at the venue: Sun, Motorola, Mozilla, Red Hat, CSDN & Programmer Magazine, Lemote, and the Beijing Linux Users Group. Each booth brought their own booth materials such as: laptops, PCs, lab equipment, gifts, posters and fliers. For example:

We invited 5 media reporters to the Summit, they interviewed important speakers and core contributors to the GNOME community. On the 18th, they interviewed Stormy Peters and Brian Cameron from the GNOME Foundation, Robert O'Dea and Paul Mei from Sun Microsystems, Kate Alhola and Richard Sun from Nokia Finland. On the 19th, CSDN and Programmer magazine interviewed Rafael Camargo from Motorola, Jack Guo from Mozilla Online, Kevin Song from COPU (China OSS Promotion Union), Frederic Muller and Pockey Lam from BLUG (Beijing Linux Users Group). They also interviewed three Chinese input method authors: James Su, Yong Sun and Peng Huang , and Funda Wang from GNOME Chinese translation team. Below are the media reports:

They are in Chinese.

Highlights of the Summit

One of the top three OSS conference in China
The GNOME.Asia Summit ranked as one of the top 3 open source conferences in Beijing this year. The others were: the Linux Developer Symposium in February and the OpenOffice organization annual conference in November. All the open source communities think it is time to go to Asia!

Keynote about GNOME Community
Stormy Peters' keynote "Community built software is bringing change to the world" kicked off the summit on the first morning.During this speech, Stormy introduced the GNOME project and its strong community. She said that the GNOME community has developed core values like accessibility, internationalization and developer-friendliness that are shared amongst all the volunteers that work on GNOME. Over time, the GNOME project has developed strong foundations like time-based releases, universal access, and good communication with companies in the industry as well as the community itself. Building on the community's values and foundations, the GNOME community is now enabling their technologies for the future with initiatives like GNOME Mobile. Finally, she encouraged everyone to join the GNOME community.
Brian Cameron's keynote about "Building Free Software Asia" was also very interesting. At the start of his talk, Brian played a cool video, made by a contributor in the GNOME community, which demonstrated GNOME using animations and cool music.Next, Brian introduced the concept of free software, open software, the GNOME community, how to get involved and be active with a free software project.

Accessibility
Accessibility was one the main topics in this Summit. So we were honored to have Will Walker, lead of the GNOME accessibility project, join this summit as well as other accessibility developers, QA engineers, and teachers from the Beijing School for the Blind. On the first day, Will Walker gave an overview of GNOME accessibility.
Later, Li Yuan introduced the accessibility infrastructure from a developer point of view. During a lightning talk, Ray Wang from Novell China introduced Mono accessibility & UI Automation. On the second day, Will Walker gave a second talk, this time about Orca. Later, Tim Miao and Harry Fu shared their experience with accessibility testing. We also invited two teachers from the Beijing School for the Blind. They were interested in the screen reader, Orca, and they attended Will Walker's talk. After the talk, they went to Sun's accessibility booth to watch a demo about accessibility and share their expectations and user experiences with Will Walker and other accessibility developers. There were many accessibility discussions covering topics such as automation testing tools in GNOME community. Further discussion are going on after the summit.

GNOME Mobile
GNOME technologies are used in many of the world's leading mobile phones. Nokia and Motorola, the leaders of the mobile industrial attended the first GNOME.Asia Summit. Nokia representatives from Finland participated in the summit by giving various technical talks which covered the Qt port to GTK+ on maemo, Tracker, GStreamer and memory management on mobile devices. Motorola's director Rafael Camargo talked about Motorola's commercial experience with Linux, how to improve the collaboration between open source communities and commercial enterprises. Finally, he announced that Motorola is joining the GNOME Foundation this year. Building on open source technologies enables them not only to get to market faster but also to offer cheaper and more open solutions.

Localization
Localization is very important to non-English speaking GNOME users. This was also one of the main topics of this Summit. We invited four authors of the input method sub-system. They were: James Su, lead of the SCIM community (www.scim-im.org); Peng Huang, author of scim-python (code.google.com/p/scim-python) and ibus (code.google.com/p/ibus); Peng Wu, author of Novel Pinyin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/novel-pinyin); Yong Sun, maintainer of SunPinyin (www.opensolaris.org/os/project/input-method). They co-hosted a technical talk about the input method frameworks and introduced IIIMF and SCIM. Funda Wang, leader of i18n-zh team, talked about the overall localization infrastructure of the GNOME project, the GTP infrastructure (administrator, team leader, translator, tester), and how to contribute to the GNOME Translation project.

GNOME & Mozilla
Mozilla is a sister community to GNOME. It was great to have Mozilla at this Summit. Jack Guo from Mozilla Online talked about "Mozilla in China", and shared his experiences promoting Firefox in China. Mozilla Developers, Brian Lu and Alfred Peng from the OpenSolaris community, shared their experiences developing Firefox and Songbird on the OpenSolaris desktop.

Lightning Talks
At the summit we introduced a new talk style to China: Lightning talks.
A Lightning Talk is a short presentation given at a conference or similar forum. Unlike other presentations, lightning talks only last a few minutes and several will usually be delivered one after the other by different speakers.
At the GNOME.Asia Summit, we had lightning talks on the afternoon of the 18th. The lightning talks session was one hour, with each lightning talk being only 5 minutes, with no Q&A session. We used a gong as timer. Here's the list of lightning talks:
1. Richard Sun : Package management
2. Simon Zheng : New generation of GNOME Display Manager
3. Coly Li : Quick introduction to grub4ext4
4. Ray Wang: Mono accessibility & UI Automation
5. Anthony Fok : Attracting new GNOME contributors with Glade
6. Jon Philips :The Open Clip Art Library + China Lightning Talk
7. Funda Wang: Experience Empathy
This was one of the most entertaining parts of the Summit, see:http://www.gnome.asia/static/upload/photos/DSC_2334.JPG

Party and Tour trip
We had a wonderful celebration party on the evening of the last day at the Laoshe Tea House. We invited organizers, sponsors, volunteers, speakers and media representatives. We had 120 people join this party. See: http://www.gnome.asia/static/upload/photos/DSCF7398.JPG
On October 20th, the GNOME.Asia Summit arranged a one day tour trip for speakers to the Great Wall and Ming Tomb. See: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pockey/2967814109/

Future work after Summit
One of the major goals after the GNOME.Asia Summit is building the Beijing GNOME Users Group. There are already some GNOME communities in Beijing, including: GNOME-CN and the GNOME learning panel at Tsinghua University. It would be better if we could gather together everyone who is interested in GNOME and host a GNOME Users Group regularly in Beijing. So far, we have recruited about 10 core members of the Beijing GNOME Users Group, notably: Pockey Lam from BLUG, Zhangshen and Da long from Beihang university, Fengyi from Beiyou University and Yanghong from GNOME-CN. We will use the following infrastructure for the Beijing GNOME Users Group:
1. Website: www.gnome-cn.org (Need to add more modules into this website, like Wiki, BBS etc.)
2. Mailing List: email@example.com
3. IRC: BeijingGUG
We plan to host regular weekly meetings starting in November, 2008.

Another big task after the Summit involves Pockey Lam from the Beijing LUG who is organizing a student study group on GNOME accessibility projects. Since accessibility generated a lot of interest in Beijing, this is a good to time to encourage more people to contribute with GNOME projects. The accessibility project is the first project for the student's study group. Some local engineers from Sun and Novell China will be mentors for the study group.

GNOME.Asia Summit was a success, we see a lot of things happening during and after the summit! Let's ride on the momentum and continue to build a strong community in Beijing, in China and in Asia!

Lot 22 View Catalog
A very nice porcelain character cane of Mephistopheles. The painted porcelain handle is 1 3/4" high and 1 1/4" at its widest. It depicts in very nice detail, the smiling face of Mephistopheles complete with his devil horns. (He tempted Faust to lose his soul in the popular Gounod opera.) There is a 7/8" ringed brass snake collar on a black hardwood shaft with a 3/4" horn ferrule. The overall length is 36" and the condition is very good. It is perhaps Meissen since they made a variety of such character handles around the turn of the 20th Century. Estimate: $1000-$1500.

1 of 4 people found the following review helpfulAugust 18, 2010Reviewer: Keri in New YorkI was simply desperate for a honey type low carb product, and unfortunately I still am. I really did not have high expectations I really would have been happy with something that vaguely resembled honey. This product is horrible and the only resemblance to honey was the bear bottle. The consistency is the same as a personal lubricant (other reviewer was not kidding) and the flavor is bitter and overly sweet. When the Global Sweet is back in stock I will give it a try and write another review.
May 18, 2012Reviewer: Meredith in North CarolinaNot sweet at all, difficult to mix with beverages, there is much better sugar free honey options out there.

Hi! My name is Smitty. I'm a Clydesdale rider from Philadelphia. I've been riding mountain bikes on and off for about 19 years. I ride a 2002 Ventana El Saltamontes with a 2002 Marzoochi Bomber fork with a mix of Shimano, Chris King, Thompson, and Crank Bros. components. I have a 1990's Trek 1500 (bought from my sister-in-law's husband, also a Clydesdale rider) with Shimano Tiagra components. I know they're on the low end of the Shimano line, but I'm not a real big road rider. I'm crash wary after taking a tumble in 2003, shattering my wrist into dozens of pieces and breaking my arm in two places. I use my road bike to pull my three year-old son around in his Burley trailer.
I'm looking for online or brick and mortar stores that carry Clydesdale jerseys. I have a couple of XXL jerseys from Performance. One is a perfect fit and the other is kind of tight, yet both are XXL. Any help owuld be greatly appreicated.
I look forward to speaking with everyone.
Take care,

Publisher Pine Street Press
Destination: Teach For America by Jake Whitman
Book Description
In 2012, more than 48,000 applicants applied to Teach For America for just over 5,800 positions. With fewer than 1 in 10 students from low-income families graduating from college today, our country's children need the most talented people teaching them. If your dream is to join Teach For America, this book is for you.
Whitman, a TFA alumnus and former recruiter, will teach you how to join this movement by helping you build the skills that Teach For America values most. The book includes advice from more than 20 current corps members and alumni, step-by-step methods to gain leadership skills, and real preparation strategies for your application and interviews.
Book Review
I was given this book to read with no idea what 'Teach For America' was. I have a limited knowledge of the American education system and did not know what to expect. Having read the book carefully, I think I now know everything. It is a comprehensive volume on how to plan, prepare and apply for teaching in very specific terms. It is a well written book and has some inspirational examples of how lives have been changed and continue to be changed by positive influences. the first half of the book is 'Understanding teach for America and how you fit in.' In this section there is emphasis on the commitment needed to complete two years of innovative and testing teaching, although the ethos of investing it the corps members is an investment in the future leaders of the country. One of the qualities looked for in corps members is;
'A respect for individual's diverse experiences and the ability to work effectively with people from a variety of backgrounds.'
This encapsulates for me what this book is about, a guide for young people who are setting out on a difficult quest who will come up against diversity of all kinds. It teaches them how to 'exhibit their qualities' and commit to showing unconditional respect to the students and also colleagues. It gives candidates the motivation and the direction, in detailed steps to fulfil their ambitions.
Part two is about recruitment and is a straightforward guide to creating a positive presence with the decision-makers. The writer I feel has got the balance right between solid practical advice and anecdotal examples of how it's done.
There are real life experiences and advice from people who have lived the commitment, and guidance on planning the application and interviews for the best results.
When the writer talks about the education 'landscape' and how important it is to understand the current trends and problems in modern schools, it highlights his personal commitment to getting the important information to the candidates for the benefit of the whole system. A very well planned and written book which all educators can learn from. It also lends itself to required reading for anyone interested in applying to Teach For america.

Born 1753 — Died December 5, 1784
Phillis Wheatley was America's first black poet.
Born in Senegal, Africa in 1753, she was kidnapped on a slave ship to Boston and sold at the age of seven to John and Susannah Wheatley of Boston as Mrs. Wheatley's personal servant. Phillis, however, was soon accepted as a member of the family, and was raised and educated with the Wheatley's other two children.
Phillis became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitefield in 1770. Three years later thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as "Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral." It was the first book published by a black American.Phillis soon displayed her remarkable talents by learning to read and write English. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics, and passages from the Bible. At thirteen she wrote her first poem.
In 1775 she wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to the commander-in-chief. Washington responded by praising her talents and inviting her to his headquarters.
After both of her benefactors died, Phillis was freed as a slave. She married Dr. John Peters in 1778, moved away from Boston and had three children. After an unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, only to die in poverty alone in her apartment at the age of 30.
Years later her "Memoir and Poems of Phillis Wheatley" was published in 1834. "The Letters of Phillis Wheatley, the Negro Slave Poet of Boston" appeared in 1864.
Most of Phillis Wheatley's poems reflect her religious and classical New England upbringing. Writing in heroic couplets, many of her poems consist of elegies while others stress the theme of Christian salvation.
Although racial equality is not a theme to be found in Phillis Wheatley's poetry, one allusion of injustice appears in one of her poems which appears below.
On Being Brought From Africa To America
'Twas mercy brought me from my pagan land,
Taught my beknighted soul to understand
That there's a God, that there's a Savior too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
"Their color is a diabolic dye."
Remember Christians; Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin'd, and join th' angelic train.
—-Phillis Wheatley

Voter Guide: Health Reform Overview
Help Paying for Insurance
The law provides:
- Tax credits for people with incomes that are between 138% and 400% of the poverty level (up to $92,200 annually for a family of four in 2012).
- Coverage for more people under Medicaid, the state and federal health insurance program for people with low incomes. An individual that makes less than $15,415 or a family of four that earns less than $31,809 will be eligible.
States have the option to expand their Medicaid program and cover more people. People living in states that don't expand Medicaid may not be eligible for Medicaid coverage.
New Health Insurance Markets
Each state is required to have an American Health Benefits Exchange, an online market where people without access to affordable employer coverage can shop for a health plan. Each state will also have a separate exchange for small employers to buy insurance.
Requires Most Businesses to Cover Employees or Pay a Penalty
Businesses with more than 50 full-time employees must offer health insurance to their employees or pay a penalty. The penalty fee will be $2,000 per full-time employee.
New Requirements for Private Insurance
The law requires insurers to comply with new regulations. Starting in 2014, insurers cannot charge people who are older more than three times what a younger person pays. They can only charge one and a half times more for people in various geographic areas or who use tobacco.
Other consumer protections have already been put in place:
- Consumers have the right to appeal an insurer's decision.
- Preventive care is available to people with private insurance and Medicare with no out-of-pocket costs, including copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles.
- There is guaranteed insurance coverage for children under the age of 19 with pre-existing health conditions. This guarantee will expand to all people with pre-existing conditions in 2014.
- Drug discounts are available for people on Medicare.
- Insurers can no longer impose lifetime limits on health insurance spending.
- Insurers are subject to a review of suspected unreasonable insurance rate increases.
- Insurance companies must spend at least 80% of the money they collect on medical expenses, rather than on marketing or executive salaries.
- Young adults can stay on their parent's health insurance plan up to the age of 26.

A little good fortune stretched just far enough for Center Grove to remain undefeated Friday night.
By eking out a 14-13 victory over Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference newcomer Pike, the state's second-ranked squad in Class 6A improved to 4-0 overall and 3-0 in the league standings.
Senior quarterback Luke Calvert passed for 173 yards and scored the winning touchdown on a 6-yard run with 9:10 remaining to lead the Trojans offense.
Afterward, it was Center Grove's defense that was earning the highest of marks from coach Eric Moore.
"I'm really proud of our defense for holding them to 13 points. That's a great effort," said Moore, whose club must now prepare to play at Class 6A No. 1 Lawrence Central next Friday. "We're about defense here, but I honestly thought (Pike) would score five or six touchdowns because of their big-play capability and maybe we could just match them."
The passing and running of 6-foot-3, 191-pound senior quarterback Brent Lyles kept the Trojans' "D" on its toes the entire evening.
It was Lyles' 3-yard dive into the end zone with only 4:50 to play that positioned the sixth-ranked Red Devils within a point at 14-13. It's here Center Grove dodged a major bullet when senior kicker Chaise Watkins pulled the ensuing conversion kick left.
The Trojans' next offensive series mustered only five yards in three downs, forcing a punt from their own 41.
The snap sailed over the head of Matt O'Brien all the way inside Center Grove's own 10. The senior hurried to retrieve the football, got the punt off from his own 8 and was roughed by a Pike defender, giving the Trojans an automatic first down with 3:44 left.
Pike did eventually get the ball back, starting from its own 29 with 1:57 remaining and no timeouts. Lyles managed to get his offense as far as the Trojans' 47, an intentional grounding followed by two straight incompletions gave Center Grove the ball back at 1:12.
"I thought our kids played a real cerebral game tonight," said Moore. "For us, it's all about playing week-to-week."
Junior back Calvin Daggett led all ball carriers with 72 yards in 12 carries for the Trojans. Sophomore Lee Clinker rushed 10 times for 37 yards and a score.
"We had some injuries tonight, but we had other guys really step up. Lee Clinker wasn't even in the gameplan, and he had some big runs and scored a touchdown," said Moore.
Center Grove churned out 233 yards of offense in the first half, but had only seven points to show for it.
Twos were wild for the Trojans when with 2:22 remaining in the first quarter, No. 22, Clinker, burrowed in from 2 yards out to account for the home team's 7-0 lead at intermission.
The points capped an 11-play, 78-yard drive, the biggest play being O'Brien's 16-yard pass to Alex Auckerman on fourth-and-3 from the Pike 41.
This isn't to say Center Grove didn't have other opportunities.
On the team's next offensive series, Calvert hit a wide-open O'Brien at the Red Devils 28. O'Brien motored all the way to the Pike 2 before fumbling the football out of the back of the end zone for a touchback.
Center Grove two plays later recovered a Red Devils fumble deep in Pike territory courtesy of junior lineman Gavin Everett. That drive, too, produced a goose-egg with Pike blocking the 36-yard field goal attempt of Trojans kicker Seth Northern at 7:11 of the second stanza.
Moore's team also squandered a golden opportunity late in the second, making it as far as the Pike 11 before misfiring on a trick play with 26.3 seconds showing.
The Red Devils also were ineffective with their scoring chances by having drives conk out at the Trojans 9-, 14- and 30-yard lines. The first and last ended thanks to interceptions by Auckerman and senior Aaron Hunt, respectively.
Overall, Center Grove finished with 333 yards compared to Pike's 353.

Working in the yarn industry, I constantly learn from the experts that I meet on the job. One of my favorite tips is from designer Sally Melville. (I've interviewed her twice for our podcast, YarnCraft—check out the first and second episodes featuring Sally).
How often have you looked at a pattern and thought, "That's definitely not my color"? Sally pointed out that sometimes the color choice deters us from a project that we would otherwise like!
However, she said, it's easier to picture the garment in other colors when it's in black and white. Therefore, she recommended that you copy the photo in black and white (if you have access to a photo-copier) or, if you're more high tech, you desaturate/grayscale the photo on your computer.
It's great for solid designs, as well as multicolor designs (you can better picture them in a solid or in different color combinations). Use colored pencils or markers (or paint tools on your computer) to start shading in with colors that appeal to you!
What a great and easy tip!

The Shore family arrived at the Hawke's Bay Showgrounds in style last week, at the helm of a 12.5m horse truck cum mobile holiday house.
The 300hp Isuzu truck, which sleeps seven people, is equipped with all the comforts of home.
There are three double beds, a kitchen with gas and electrics, and a bathroom with shower. The hot water is provided by gas heating.
The truck has two satellite dishes that allow for Sky TV, which the Shores can enjoy via a surround sound speaker system. The living area is a pop-out expansion unit furnished with leather couches.
There is also a beer fridge, outdoor entertainment area and a scooter locker.
The loading bay holds up to five horses. "The horses have a smooth ride, because of the trucks' suspension," said 30-year-old Zoe Shore, who made the "cruisy" trip up from Ashburton to compete in this year's event.
Shore came with her parents, and four horses in tow.
"It really is a home away from home. Instead of going to a holiday house, we go to horse shows."
The truck is 4.2m high and 2.5m wide.
The Shores had the truck custom-built to their own specifications two years ago. A truck of such calibre retails for $400,000- $500,000.
Chris and Sandy Shore were once part-owners of Dunstan Delphi - the horse that Kiwi golden girl Katie McVean rode in the world champs in 2010 in Leipzig, Germany.
Delphi was sold to Saudi buyers in 2011 for what is believed to be the highest price ever paid for a New Zealand horse.
Zoe Shore took out 2nd place at the Pro Am rider yesterday. She'll compete in the meter 35 on Saturday, and in the Speed Championship on Sunday.

Thank You for any info you can provide!

Mike Caffey finished with a career-high 20 points
March 3, 2012
FULLERTON, Calif. - Michael Caffey scored a career-high 20 points but it wasn't enough as Long Beach State saw its hopes of an unbeaten Big West Conference season come to an end with a 77-74 loss to Cal State Fullerton on Saturday.
Caffey made 7-of-11 shots, including 3-of-7 from 3-point range, while matching a season high 30 minutes played. Caffey filled in most of the second half for senior Larry Anderson, who left the floor with 13:54 to play and didn't return, after injuring his knee.
T.J. Robinson added 13 points and nine rebounds despite playing just six minutes in the first half because of foul trouble. James Ennis had 11 points, nine in the second half. Anderson finished with eight points and eight rebounds in just 24 minutes. Senior Casper Ware struggled most of the game making just 2-of-15 shots, including 2-of-9 from three. He finished with 10 points, but had seven assists.
D.J. Seeley led all scorers with 27 points. The Titan went 12-of-14 from the line. Isiah Umipeg added 16 points.
Long Beach State (22-8, 15-1 Big West) struggled from the floor making just 41.4 percent (24-of-58) of its shots, including just 31.6 percent (6-of-19) from three. The 49ers made just 32 percent (8-of-25) of their shots in the first half.
Cal State Fullerton (21-8, 12-4 Big West) connected on just 39.3 percent (24-of-61) field goals, but made 42.9 percent (9-of-21) threes. The Titans had 14 offensive rebounds, while out-boarding LBSU 41-37.
Both teams struggled early with LBSU making three of its first 15 shots and CSF connecting on just two of its 12 shots in the first eight minutes.
Long Beach State finishes as the regular season Big West Conference champions, while Cal State Fullerton earned the second-seed for next week's Big West Conference Tournament. The 49ers face No. 8 seed UC Davis Thursday at 6 p.m.

Back in the day when we sucked people got really into them but now most just care about winning and winning a SB.

Seattle has a more proven secondary....imo, we have more depth and we might be better as the season goes along. (if Reid continues to look good)
but in most eyes we lost an All Pro Safety, where as the Seahawks still have their ProBowler.
everywhere else I think most look at it as a wash. Offense and defense.
that last game in Seattle didn't help.
so we just need to beat them in week 2 and the standings will change.

Well, I have been expecting it, and its here Im stuck. 4 weeks and 15 pounds. I lost it rather quickly and didnt try. I slipped into Mcdonalds and hit them up for a Double cheeseburger and a value Fry. I must say, it all tasted like a salt block. My lips were puckered afterwards. I have not been craving food like that much at all and I havnt cheated on Junk.
Hopefully this may kickstart my body. Ill admit, it was good but I didnt have that mouth watering lust for it like a couple months ago.

Minnesota vs. BC lives up to the hype
It was expected to be one of the most exciting games of the college hockey season, and that it was. In a breathtaking back-and-fourth contest, Minnesota and Boston College skated to a 3-3 tie Friday night.

It was expected to be one of the most exciting games of the college hockey season, and that it was. In a breathtaking back-and-fourth contest, Minnesota and Boston College skated to a 3-3 tie Friday night.
On Friday night at 10:30 p.m. ET BTN airs "Big Ten Elite: 1979 Minnesota hockey" right after the Boston College-Minnesota men's hockey game at 8 p.m. ET. Watch it to learn more about Minnesota coach Herb Brooks and one of the best college hockey teams ever to take the ice for Minnesota's storied program.
In April, Steve Rohlik was appointed head coach of the Buckeyes after spending three years as associate head coach under Mark Osiecki. Ohio State is Rohlik's first college head coaching job after assisting at Minnesota-Duluth (2001-2010) and Nebraska-Omaha (1997-2000). Coming off a 16-17-7 campaign as part of the CCHA, the Buckeyes return the majority of their roster, including team captain Curtis Gedig on the blue line and forwards Tanner Fritz and Ryan Dzingel, who finished one-two on the CCHA point leaderboards last season.
No individual embodies Penn State hockey like Joe Battista. As Associate Athletic Director for Ice Arena and Hockey Development, Battista knows the program inside and out. He played, coached, recruited, built it, even. The "godfather" of the team, he's been through it all. Legitimizing high-level hockey at Penn State has been a century-long struggle.
Earlier today, BTN.com streamed the Big Ten Hockey Media Day live for hockey fans looking to get ready for the conference's inaugural men's hockey season. You can still watch the entire even for free via this link, but we also carved out each of the six coaches' media sessions in this post. Watch them all below.
It's tough to find an individual more emblematic of Wisconsin hockey than Mike Eaves. The Badgers' head coach, all-time leading scorer, 1977 national champion and head coach of the 2006 title team has been around for it all. From the earliest days of Big Ten hockey, where informal standings were kept between schools and a trophy given out for the best record (there weren't enough teams for a Big Ten conference) to the emergence of the new Big Ten, as a player and coach, Eaves' knowledge bridges that gap.

"Columbia's Best In Home Personal Trainers"
1.) Intensity, intensity, intensity! To get results, your body needs
stimulation to make the adaptations to get you those results you seek. The body
needs to be stimulated, it needs intensity to make it reinvent itself and
change. Although we try, it's very hard sometimes to train with high intensity
by yourself. Have a trainer to work with will help you reach that higher
intensity level, and allow you to get those results quicker and easier.
2.) The encouragement received from an in home personal trainer is very motivating. Lets face it, working out can be tough, and sometimes boring. Our fitness pros will be with you every step of the way, encouraging and motivating you to achieve your goals. Do you find yourself too tired to workout sometimes, let our trainers use their energy and enthusiasm to help you through those tough workouts.
3.) Our personal trainers in Columbia will give you accountability! Do you find that you are missing workouts? The gym isn't going to call you and ask where you are. With an in home personal trainer, you have an appointment. Our fitness pros will be there regardless, no more excuses not to get your workouts in. We'll motivate and give you accountability.
4.) The
knowledge of the personal trainers is very beneficial. How often do you find
yourself wondering what to do and where to start? Let our staff take all of the
guess work away, thus preventing wasted time. As the owner of the company, and
a personal trainer himself, Eric Leader has taken it upon himself to hire only
the best of the best. He has hand picked the best fitness professionals, with
the highest degrees and certifications in the field.

9.) Having a personal trainer prevents against wasted time in the gym trying to achieve goals. Why waste time looking at the machines trying to figure out how to use them? Our fitness pros will write a program specifically targeting your goals, and be there every step of the way to execute the plan. In addition, our fitness staff will perform fitness evaluations measuring body fat, circumferences, and strength and endurance. These evaluations help to ensure that you are on the right path towards achieving your goals.
10.) It's fun!!! Our staff will use their creativity to make working out fun, not just a chore. We'll take you outside, to a track, or even use boxing, in order to keep you excited about your program and working out. Lets face it, if it's not fun, you are not going to want to do it, and stick to it. Part of what makes a great trainer is creativity along with effectiveness. We know you'll enjoy your workouts with our trainers.
What Clients are Saying!
My work day makes me mentally and physically fatigued. At the end of the day,
the last thing I feel like doing is working out. As a result, I have gained
weight and feel so out of shape. I knew I needed a trainer to get me back on
track and to help me become better about my workouts and diet. This service has
been great, I can surely say that with confidence.
I decided to hire a trainer because I was getting so bored with my own workouts, and I needed some motivation to push harder. The results have been amazing! I have lost 11 pounds in two months and my energy has improved by a great deal. My trainer pushes me so much harder than I can push myself, and knows how to motivate me when I am tired. Certainly a great investment!
Melissa Gabriel
Columbia, MD
As a senior, I knew that it was important for me to perform resistance
training to help with my bone mineral density and to prevent osteoporosis.
However, I have never touched a weight before in my life, I knew I needed help
to prevent injury. Every Body's Personal Trainer was the right choice. My
trainer comes to my home and helps me hands on to perform all of the exercise
for each muscle of my body. It has truly been a great investment.
Bill Worthington
Columbia, MD

When a nigger is raped by a nigger, in jail, the post-rape, anal creampie that is expelled from the raped nigger's anus, is Nigger Cheese.
Aw nigga, i was shittin' some serious fuckin' nigger cheese after Tyrone caught me, nigga.

Something that smells highly foul and disgusting. Can be used to describe someone's breath, armpits, or other body parts; also used to describe a room or place that smells like ass.
It fuckin' reeks like nigger cheese in here!
by Lord Sidious, III May 18, 2006
A racist synonym for the cheese available to families on welfare.
Tamika's family subsisted soley on nigger cheese for years.
by the undying zombie November 16, 2007
Nigger cheese is welfare. The problem with this country is too many niggers, skins, kikes, jewnigs, and white trash are sucking the USA's tits and eating/drinking the nigger cheese. Get a job nigger.
If my fellow Americans vote the nigger out of office, Romney will take away the nigger cheese and we won't have to cut defense spending. There are jobs out there but too many assholes want the nigger cheese.

Some teachers may feel that they will not receive support for their efforts from their administrative superiors. While each situation will be different and teachers must ultimately trust their instincts and experience, it is possible that they can find more support from their principals and their superiors at the district level than they expect. AIDS is a problem that is recognized at every tier of education and government. In a national survey of district superintendents conducted fairly early in the AIDS pandemic, every participant agreed that AIDS education should be regularly taught in schools, and that schools should work with the health community to organize the best possible response for students. 1 Although there may be a feeling among teachers that school administrators are reluctant to lend their support to what may be unpopular AIDS education, and would rather stick with the politically safer "Just Say No" campaign, in reality there are few individuals who will argue that "Just Say No" is a viable response to the

Crockett, Barton, American Banker
Hogan Systems, Inc., a big supplier of mainframe software to banks, plans to greatly expand its product line for personal computers, beginning withbranch automation software due out this summer.
